While me and Suna cuddled today, I brought up the topic of him playing instruments when he was young. Suna did ask why and how I knew and as the good boyfriend I am, I told him the truth of me snooping around his computer. Of Course he got a bit mad but he eventually told me.

"So, when I was around 4 or 5, my parents started saying how I had no talent and shit like that, so I got a bit sad, then they made me try track running, which didn't work out, then some other sports, but I was really lazy, so it was a big no.

Then we tried instruments, violin was my first, I enjoyed it for a bit until they wanted me to go to the next grade, and in order for that to happen, I had to-"

"Take exams?"

I asked.

Suna continued,

"Yeah, and then it just got a bit pressuring and I quit before the exam, my parents actually got really mad when I said I wanted to quit, but my grandmother defended me a bit, and they let me off again. Then, I saw a few of my so-called friends play the cello, and I thought of it as something fun and enjoyable I guess. But nope, my parents pressured me to get into competitions. I got overwhelmed once and broke the bass bar for my cello"

"Oh god, it's made out of like, polished wood, isn't it?"

"Yes...But-"

"Damn, you must've been strong-"

"I don't know, I was really overwhelmed and just broke it without a second thought and cried myself to sleep. I had to borrow someone else's cello for my competition, which my parents just got mad about. We stopped all the activities for a while and when I got to middle school, my grandmother thought my fingers would look good while playing the piano. They turned a slouching me into fucking "perfection" and made me go to all those competitions. I couldn't break a piano now can I?"

"Oh god, if you broke a piano, i would be in shock"

"Lmao, so I played and played and played, I still have a few videos of me playing a few pieces. I could get them from my grandmother if you want"

"Sure, I'd like to see them"

"Oh and wanna know something funny?"

"I have a feeling your funny is something tragic-"

"It sort of is-"

I'm honestly afraid of what his funny could be-

"I swear if you-"

"Hush, so this one time, I got so fed up, that i slammed the piano shut on my left hand-"

"What the actual-Rintarou! You can't do that!"

"I know I know, but it was a minor injury, I screamed at the top of my lungs and my parents rushed to the piano room I had at that time, they were angry at me for doing what I did but they understood how badly I didn't want to play at that point. Everything i did was enjoyed at first, then I'll get pressured to do more"

"Wow...I never knew your childhood was like that..."

"I never really had a great childhood to start with, so it's all just meh to me"

"Oh...Well what happened to all the instruments?"

"It's still with my grandmother, she still plays the piano a bit, the cello and violin just sits in that room, no one has touched it for years, the grand piano we had was too expensive and my grandmother didn't want us to sell it away. It's still in her house, we can go after the pandemic ends."

"I'll be looking forward to that day then"
