The Sound Of Love (Izuocha)

Chapter 5: Hell Begins

Izuku's POV

Time skip 2 years

Hell yes I want to be a pianist, but I never thought it would be THAT hard!

Not only was it hard to fricking PRACTICE FOR 5 HOURS EVERY DAY but had to keep it a secret from my mum. God, that was hard. I had to make excuses that I was busy doing homiework with friends or practicing for tests. Everyday after school me and Ochaco went to Toshinori's house: I practiced with him while she practiced in her house, but sometimes she practiced with use in the other room when she wanted to check her intonation.

Everything started of easy: scales, minuets and arias. I even started to feel confident until one day:

"Listen kiddo, you are going to the UA music academy, so we need to practice SERIOUSLY. I know about your sight reading skills, so here" Toshinori said as he placed 4 sheets of paper on the stand.

Hmm let's see, "Franz Liszt Rákóczy Ma-" wait WHAT?

How does he expect me to read this?

I quickly looked at the first line and kinda worked it out. I then started playing.

How the actual f*ck am I supposed to play this?

My greatest weakness is my coordination - I can read the music, but I can't move my hands in time, but if I learn the notes then I can LOOK at my hands and SEE WHERE I PUT THEM. Toshinori saw me freak out and told me to step away.

He sat on the stool, stretched out his arms and placed his remarkably LARGE (Insert lennie face) hands on the keyboard. He then started playing.

Heavenly music

I started to fill up with hope, hope I can be as good as him. I felt blessed for having the opportunity of him teaching a noob like me.

After he finished, he stood up and told me to get back on the seat, when he suddenly said:

"Ya know, I actually sight read it"

Even Ochaco heard that and stopped playing. She ran into the room and started at him just like I did.

"Now if I can do it, you can do it too" he said with a reassuring smile.

Sorry to say Toshinori, but that's not how it works

"And you are gonna stay here until you can play it without stopping, and while you're at it, me and Ochaco will have some tea"

You don't want to know what I wanted to do to him at that moment

I just turned around and started at the notes.

I have to do this, and I WILL do this!

Hours have passed, I was trying to memorize the notes, I figured it was a better tactic for me. It did look like an easy piece, but hell no. From time to time Toshinori screamed out things like "POSTURE" or "NO" which scared me every time. 

10 pm, I was STILL sitting there playing. Ochaco left ages ago and Toshinori was doing the dishes.

"Hey, child, if you're tired I allow you to go home, there is not point in overworking, leave when you want, I'm going to bed now" Toshinori said wiping his hands from the soap.

Time skip to the next morning

Ochaco's POV

Morning? Already? I woke up from the disgusting sound of the alarm.

I swear to god one day i'll shatter this thing into pieces

I saw my violin and bow lying right next to me.

I got out of bed (unbelievable) and went to brush my teeth.I quickly put on some jeans and started putting on a Panic! At The Disco shirt when I realised something.

Ochaco, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? 

One that's weird about me is that I'm a fan of emo music but at the same time i'm "supposed" to be a fan of classical music, and as you may know, these two th

 Since it was Saturday and I didn't need to go to school I decided to go to Toshinori and see how Iz-

Why do I always think about him? Yeah, he's my friend and that's it ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I remembered he was still practicing when I left, I wonder how long he stayed there.

I quickly put my violin back in the case and left the apartment.

As I exited, I noticed that Toshinori's door was opened, so I quietly came in and took of my shoes.

God what comes next...

I see Izuku on the floor under the piano, sleeping with the notes in his hands.

All Might I swear

I see him there, peacefully lying on the wooden floor. Poor Izuku, All Might puts to much pressure on him, the boy might overwork himself.

I stomped to his room and started waking him up.

"Ugh uhh... yes...my... uh OH MY GOD hey Ochaco whatcha doing here so early?" he woke up from her loud footsteps as he was mumbling in his dream.

"Could you please care to explain WHY IZUKU IS SLEEPING UNDER THE FRIcKING PIANO?

He looked as confused as I was when I came in.

"Seriously, who does that? He just want to be a pianist he will do anything you tell hi-"

"Ochaco, but I didn't. I told him to go home whenever he wanted to" he said calmly as he started standing up.

"You mean, he actually practiced all night and fell asleep under the piano?"

Oh. My. God

How could anyone possibly do that. His willpower is just INCREDIBLE. Wait. OH NO. Because of this his mum will be FURIOUS. We need to make excuses NOW.

As me and All Might walk back into the living room, Izuku started waking up and again was confused by his surroundings.

"Hey kiddo, what did I tell you to do? As soon as you finished practicing go home and DON'T OVERWORK YOURSELF"

Silence filled the room. Did he actually need to be angry at him?

"I-I'm sorry, I was j-just practicing and I don't know how but-"

"God, just go home and have some rest, you can come back later today and show me what you were doing all night. Ochaco, go with him, you will have a lot of explaining to do for his mum"

Of course. What should I tell her? Or what will she think?

Her son coming back in the morning with a girl? I don't even want to think about it.

They soon left the apartment and went over to his place.

"Hey, Ochaco. Please stay here I don't want to get you into this, plus if my mum thinks everything happened because of you, she won't allow you to contact me anymore" he said with a giggle at the end.

How could he talk about this calmly? Does his mother do this regularly?

"I'll go now, you can wait here, or you can go, whatever you want really, I hope I see yo later today" he said and blended into the buildings.

I hope.
