Moonlight Sonata (Part 2) - Erwin x Reader

* @zana24434 Requested a Part two for Moonlight Sonata, so I have provided her with more Erwin action :'))

The audio is one of the OSTs from Final Fantasy X. It's called "To Zanarkand". This is the song that the reader plays for Erwin.

His arm softly caged your frail body, as your eyes peered up at him with the same level of shock and surprise as he did as well. Your heart was beating fast as you were awkwardly standing there, cradled by his single arm while he looked down at you.

"I-uhm." you managed to stammer out, the red on your face lightly tinted orange from the illumination of the candle he held.

His bright eyes stared down at you, as of he were examining your frightened composure in his arms - which was what he was probably doing. He didn't bother to release you yet, until he was given a reasonable explanation for your secret talent.

"C-commander... I didn't m-mean to wake you up." you nervously stated, as your eyes were glued to his like left over residue from tape on a wall. His gaze was so intimidating yet soft, causing shivers to slightly go down your spine.

"You didn't wake me," he almost whispered, his huskily voice sending another shiver down your body. His beautiful complexion was astonishing in the dimmed light of that single candle he held, the orange tint softly brushing his face.

"If anything, you kept me awake."

"Ah, I s-see."

You were more nervous than ever, and he seemed to notice that as well. He finally helped you stand up on your own two feet, his single hand guiding you with each step. After you regained your composure, you took a step back and bowed, to both show your forgiveness and hopefully avoid his intimidating, yet beautiful gaze.

"You play the piano beautifully." he suddenly began, taking a glance towards the ebony piano that stood in front of the large, glass window panes. You began to feel heat rise on your cheeks once again, and you mentally scolded yourself for being so easily flustered by the littlest compliments. Wouldn't anyone be if it came specifically from the Commander?

"Thank you," you managed to say clearly before his eyes were brought back to overlook you through the midnight darkness, only accompanied by the single flicker of a candle. "I don't usually play at this hour..."

"I doubt that," he chuckled dryly, motioning you over to back towards the piano bench where you had just sat. He took a seat, while you hesitated but followed shortly after.

"I've been hearing you play so late as to at least until midnight for the past few nights, (y/n)."

Your eyes widened at his statement, your heart now beating at an inhumanly pace. The piano wasn't loud enough for someone to hear from outside the closed door of the silent library, but then you remembered that you had slightly kept the door a creak open tonight. Maybe that was how he heard you so easily?

But what about the other nights?

"I-I'm sorry," you softly whispered, shifting your gaze away from his in the dimmed moonlight darkness. "I don't mean to keep you awake at night... Commanders need their sleep, don't they?" You lightly scoffed a laugh.

"It actually helps me sleep." he chuckled dryly again, before setting the candle on top of the piano beside the one you had blew out. You watched his every move as he did so after you focused your gaze back on him, his slightly pale skin tinted a peachy orange from the candle that illuminated in the vast darkness of the room. You were slightly shocked a his somewhat confession, which made you think - was your music really that soothing for him?
