"I'm serious. I'm not going back to the piano."

You glared, giving off an uneasy frown. Venti stood in front of you, holding tightly on his violin case. His expression made you uneasy. His unsatisfied face almost made you regret rejecting him to be his accompanist.

"C'mon! You were on the piano yesterday! Just hurry up and be my accompanist!!" He whined, grabbing you by your arm. He acted like a kid asking for candy from his mother.

You tried to yank him off but nothing seemed to work considering his super strength. Unlike you, he attended all his PE classes. "I said no! Stop bugging me about it!" You yelled, trying to pry him off.

"Please~! I'll treat you to some [favorite dish] when we finish the competition!"

You deadpanned. "Stop trying to bribe me with food. You know I don't eat much.." You responded, finally being able to pry him off.

"Fine then. I guess I'll just have to throw you off the bridge." Venti's face was so dark it almost made you scream.

You almost forgot. He asked you to meet him on the bridge after school. The bridge were you two jumped off and into the lake as kids. Your parents sure gave a long scolding when you got home with him. Even if he was your boyfriend, you can't just let him make you continue something you've already ended. Honestly, how more pressured can this kid get?

"What the heck?! Stop trying to force me!! Ow—" Venti tugged you from behind before you can resist him from making another move.

"Y/n."

    You stopped trying to take him off of you.

"Please. Just this once. And after that we can.."

"C'MON YOU SUCK! YOUR KEYS ARE OFF POINT, YOUR PLAYING IS HORRIBLE, AND YOU CAN'T EVEN THINK STRAIGHT FOR ONCE!"

    You mentally deadpanned at Venti. How did it come to this? One day you were on the bridge with him, talking and all, and now.. You find yourself practicing every day, hour, and minute with him for the upcoming competition. His scolding was able to make you practice more and more. Seriously, was this guy out of his mind? It was like he was your teacher or something.

    At this point, you even had a hard time trying to apologize. Every now and then, you found yourself humming down the piano piece, tapping in the air, and your eyes only focusing onto the paper as if your life depended on it.

    So now, you found yourself almost passing out on a bench. The park was peaceful. Tomorrow was the competition.

"So, are you ready?"

    There goes that voice again. Venti sat on the bench next to you. You mumbled a small "yeah" as you stared down at your hands. In all honestly, your fingers kind of hurt for playing with him all day. Your attention gazed away from your hand the moment you noticed another one approach you.

    You looked up, seeing Venti give off a smile. His hand touched yours, palm to palm.

"When your depressed, it always helps to lean your head on your arms. Because arms like to feel useful like that sometimes." For once, he didn't rhyme his sentences. His quote got you curious.

"Who quoted that?" You asked.

"All Charlie Brown." Venti responded, his smile staying on his face. Your looked up at him with your regular look.

"Look at your hand, at the spread at the fingers. It's the hand of a pianist." Venti stated. "Oh wow, feel that? Your hands about ready to jump out of its skin!"

"I—" You looked at him shocked with a small tint of pink.

"More than ever, it wants to get to a piano and play!"

    You looked back at your hands touching.

"So, would you like to keep it this way?"

    You smiled. "Forever and always."
