-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The sun dipped low in the sky, casting a warm, golden glow through the living room window. I sat at the old piano, a cherished piece of furniture in our small apartment, my fingers grazing the keys in anticipation. Today was special; I wanted to surprise Cliff with something that would resonate deeply within him. He had always liked the song that he made with Metallica, especially their instrumental pieces. "Orion," with its haunting melody and intricate rhythms, was one of his favorites. I'd learned it over the past few weeks, practicing diligently while he was at work, hoping to evoke the same emotions in him that the song stirred within me.

As my fingers danced over the keys, I let the opening notes wash over me, each chord a memory of our time together-the laughter, the quiet moments, and the way he held me close when the world felt overwhelming. I closed my eyes, surrendering to the music, the way it enveloped me like a comforting embrace.The gentle notes flowed through the air, creating a tapestry of sound that wrapped around me. I envisioned the moments we had spent together-our late-night conversations, the way he would play with my hair while we watched movies, and the spontaneous adventures we embarked on. Each note carried with it the weight of my feelings for him, the affection and admiration I had nurtured in the quiet corners of my heart.

Lost in the melody, I was unaware of his presence until I caught a glimpse of him standing quietly in the doorway. His expression was a mix of surprise and admiration, his eyes reflecting the golden light filtering through the window. He looked effortlessly handsome, his hair slightly tousled, a gentle smile gracing his lips.I continued to play, feeling the music resonate in the air between us. Liam didn't interrupt me; instead, he stepped closer, moving silently behind me. I felt his warmth as he leaned down slightly, resting his chin on my shoulder, and my heart raced.

As I reached the crescendo of the song, I could feel the intensity of his gaze on me, the air thick with unspoken emotion. I let the notes flow freely, pouring every ounce of my heart into the music. The song swelled, and I surrendered completely to the moment, lost in the beauty of both the melody and his presence.When the final notes faded into silence, I turned to him, a mix of apprehension and excitement in my chest. "What did you think?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper, the vulnerability of my question hanging in the air.

His eyes shimmered with unshed tears, and he brushed a stray hair behind my ear. "That was incredible. You played it beautifully," he said, his voice thick with emotion. "You have no idea how much that means to me." His sincerity struck me deeply, filling my heart with warmth."I just wanted to remind you how much I care," I admitted, my heart pounding. "Music has always been a part of us, and I wanted to share this with you."Liam took a deep breath, his gaze lingering on mine. "You always know how to touch my heart," he said softly, his voice low and earnest. "Every time I hear that song, it reminds me of you, of us."

With that, he captured my face in his hands, his thumbs brushing away the tears that had begun to form in my eyes. "You're everything to me," he murmured before pressing his lips to mine.The kiss was soft and lingering, filled with the warmth of our shared moments and the promise of many more to come. I melted into him, feeling safe and cherished as our lips moved in perfect harmony. When we finally broke apart, he held my gaze, searching for the words that hung in the air between us."Let's make music together, always," he said, his eyes bright with affection, and I could feel the weight of his promise settle in my heart.

"I'd love that," I replied, a smile spreading across my face .As we sat together at the piano, I felt a sense of harmony between us that echoed the melody of "Orion." It was a reminder of the beautiful connection we shared-one that transcended words and wrapped around us like a timeless song.In that moment, I knew that we had created something beautiful together, not just with music but with our love-a symphony of our hearts intertwined. With every note I played, I wanted to convey the depth of my feelings, the hopes I held for our future, and the unwavering support I would always offer him.

As the last rays of sunlight filtered through the window, casting a warm glow around us, I felt an overwhelming sense of joy. We were two souls connected by music, love, and the promise of forever.
