A/N: Another request/birthday gift for @batlazysharkwombatuniverse. This’ll be a lot of fun because it includes my favorite thing: classical music!
Nazo pushed the door open, smiling as his mother sat down. The piano looming over him, he watched as his mother pressed her fingers to the keys, the melody of Moonlight Sonata easily flowing throughout the room.
“Mom,” Nazo said, reaching up to tug at her sleeve. “Can you teach me?”
She stopped, smiling down at him. “Of course,” she replied, lifting him next to her and taking his hands in hers, pressing them against the keys and playing the melody again, moving her son’s fingers with hers.
He looked at her as she let go, saying, “Try it by yourself.”
He nodded, slowly playing it again, the notes choppy and discordant before stopping. He frowned, pressing his fingers against the keys just like his mother had except it sounded different. It was supposed to sound the same.
His mother laughed, pinching his cheek. “It’s alright. You have to practice. I’ll be right here with you if you want.”
He looked at her, getting off the seat. “But what if I don’t improve the more I learn?” he asked, folding his arms over his chest.
Running her hand through his hair, she pulled him back next to her, placing his hands on the piano again. “You will, just follow my lead.” She said, plucking out notes.
He followed, playing the song piece by piece and going with his mother every time she practiced. This continued on until he was alone at night, his parents already asleep and the house quiet.
He sat in front of the piano, playing the song until morning. His mother looked at him and smiled, carrying him upstairs. She’d play for him anytime.
