Xabi’s fingers glide over the keys.

His hands know where to go and what to do.

Xabi doesn’t.

He plays a prelude in E major.

The bright triads take him to his first day in Liverpool.

He remembers the smell of the fresh paint on his walls, of the new boots he receives, of Steven’s aftershave when the captain leans in to catch

Though not a musician myself, I think I can understand the basics of it, and the way you used the progression of notes to tell a story was wonderful, usually how a song has its beginning, climax and ending, and how it all dies down.

And, pssh, I don't know, I could actually hear a melody in my head while reading this. Or maybe I just need more sleep.

The ending, though, made my heart flutter a little. ♥

Anyway, wonderful story. :)

ohgod, your comment makes me smile like an idiot.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. ♥

I love how the certain parts take him back to the past and how you have that little twist in the end when things seem to end in misery but they don't. ♥

[ladykillertofu]

Mwahah, because Xabi/Stevie just must not end in misery. Especially not in terrible transfer misery.

Thanks for reading ♥♥♥

This was very beautiful. It's a really lovely metaphor and the descriptions are wonderful.

I particularly loved the way you made Xabi's hands sort of guide him (His hands know where to go and what to do. Xabi doesn’t.) It seems to match their relationship; more instinctive than cerebral.

I really enjoyed it overall ♥

Thank you :D

it's different (the good different) and i like it
happy ending tho, it suprised me

[ladykillertofu]

Stevie/Xabi needs more happy endings, if you ask me. Well, actually they shouldn't come to an end at all :D

Thanks for the comment ♥
