🐉 My Accompanist [Malleus X Reader]

It was the dead of night when everything is quiet, you were still awake in an empty room playing the piano. The piano was run down, with a few keys unable to be tuned properly anymore, but that still didn't stop you from creating music.

Music was art, and art is supposed to make you feel something in a way, and that was how you used music to express yourself. You found a connection with music, with the instruments, the piano especially. It made you feel at ease, as if you were in your own world and the music was your guide.

Finishing the last measure, you went to bed since, well the music teacher said that they had something big planned for you. Apparently you were going to accompany someone in a concert and both of you had to make an one the spot composition. Humming a classical tune, you lulled yourself to sleep.

"Good morning, (M/T)!" You greeted your music teacher((M/T) stands for music teacher). They greeted you back with a smile and a wave.

"Good morning to you too, (Y/N). About the concert that our school is going to hold, it'll be in two weeks. And also I'll give you your partners contact after school so you can meet up and rehearse. Now get to your seat, class is starting." They gestured to your seat and you sat down. Two weeks, huh? That's not too bad but it'd be better if we had more time to practice. Eh oh well, since it's two people working together I think we'll pull it off. As the class started to file in, you were beginning to think of how it should sound since it's supposed to be violin and piano only.

You were busy tuning the piano until a figure sat next to you. You turned and saw that it was Malleus. Out of the whole class, the only other student you ever really talk to was Malleus.

As always, everyone watched in awe as you and Malleus played, it was as if both of you had practiced this piece multiple times prior to this. Even the teacher looked really proud of you two.

As class ended, your teacher gave you your partners contact information. Seeing the phone number, you decided to give them a greeting.

"Hello, I don't know if you've heard from the music teacher, but we're supposed to work together." You sent the message and waited for a reply. By the time you reached your dorm, your phone went off with a notifications noise.

"Hello, sorry for responding so late. Yes, I've heard from our teacher that we would be working together for the upcoming concert. I suggest we meet somewhere in two days in the music room after school." You agreed with what they said and continued to talk to them.

"Soooo, what were you thinking of playing?" You asked them.

"Hm, I was thinking of going for a more melancholy piece, or maybe a calm one, but I'm not sure if you'd agree." Melancholic and calm huh? That actually sounds really nice. A lot of people tend to memorize slower melodies more than fast ones.

"Yeah, that sounds nice. How about we both set up the order of how the piece is supposed to go and share it once we're done?"

"That sounds good. I'll be working on it today."

"Yup, same. Have a good night then."

"You too." Your mind wandered off into your little music world and it helped you conjure up a melody for you to practice. I wonder who my partner is, you thought since none of you ever told each other your names. You sat in front of your piano and started to play.

Little by little ideas came into your mind as you just let your hands take over. You jotted a few things down and eventually finished half of it by the time your were supposed to go to sleep.

Today was the day that you were going to meet your partner. Walking to the music room, you were humming another tune. As you opened the door, your mouth went agape and you dropped your music folder.
