apollo greengrass loved music. he loved the passion and he loved the sounds that came from instruments. and growing up, ophelia always wished he would love her the way he loved music. it was a sad thought, but a real one nonetheless.
so growing up, ophelia had gone from tutor to tutor, trying to learn every instrument her father loved. at age five, she was able to play für elise on the piano. at age seven, she was able to convert songs written for the piano to the guitar. at age ten, she played the piano, guitar, violin, recorder like a professional.
it didn't win her father's love, not even his admiration, but it did win venus and evan's complete and utter awe as ophelia strum her guitar. it was now february and the cold breezes slowly came to a halt, so the three of them decided to just lie down by the courtyard. regulus wasn't present because, well, he was regulus and it was a weekend.
"now what song is this?" venus said, her head resting against evan's lap as the two of them listened to their friend.
"i don't know," ophelia said as she kept strumming, between being a beater and playing instruments like the guitar, her fingertips were now rough as stone. "it's just a tune that's been stuck in my head for a while now."
venus nodded as she looked up at the sky, she started to point at a particular cloud and said, "that kinda looks like evan's ass."
before ophelia could even come up with a retort, a voice behind her spoke, "no one wants to see evan's ass, venus," regulus said as he joined the lot of them. he smiled at ophelia as he moved the guitar away and rest his head against her lap, like how venus was with evan. "what were you guys talking about, minus the ass stuff."
"venus wants to play two truths and a lie, like a child," ophelia said as she combs regulus' disheveled hair and at first he jerked away, but went back to her lap when she gave him soft puppy eyes.
"oh come one! it'll be fun!" venus whined like a child and evan rolled his eyes, the former noticed this and glared at him. "you think it'll be fun, right?"
evan nodded instantly and regulus couldn't help but glance at ophelia as she laughed. "yes, very fun, now come on, reggie, elia, let's play!" venus smiled, triumphantly at regulus and ophelia, but she didn't notice how evan looked at the other couple with pleading eyes.
and just to mess with him, regulus and ophelia relented and agreed to play the game. much to ophelia and evan's dismay, regulus and venus sat back up.
"i'll go first!" venus said, enthusiastically. "uhm, evan and i broke up a few weeks ago but we're alright now, my brother has christmas gifts for you guys and my favourite book—yes, i do read, stop giving me that look, lia—is don quixote!"
the three contemplated in silence until regulus spoke, "that's unfair! evan knows whether or not the first one is true!"
evan shrugged as he kissed his girlfriend on the cheek. ophelia laughed at regulus' expression and pinched his cheeks.
