Sitting next to each other, his height towers over her. Adrianna's eyes drifted the window and the magnificent view that came with it. It was an oceanic view and making the scene even more perfect, the sun was still in the midst of rising. The pastel colours of the dawn sky was Adrianna's canvas for the melancholic thoughts that always lurked behind in the shadows of the darkest parts of her mind. Always.

His long, slender fingers rested on the keys ever so lightly and she could not help but stare wondrously at the simplistic and minimalistic aesthetic. Before she could get too lost in her thoughts, his fingers began to move, gracing the keys as he played a piece she'd never heard before.

Her eyes lit up with a passionate fire, passionate love, as she listened intently to the piece and focused solely on the rhythmic movement of his fingers. Her eyes lifted to see the musician himself in his element and gasped softly seeing how unbelievably breathtaking the sight was - with his eyes closed, his breathing even, and his fingers just moving on their own accord.

His eyes opened slowly as he hit the last key and his eyes searched her being until they eyes met and locked in place.

"Ph-Phoenix, that was beautiful," Adrianna was rather breathless; the passion she noted Phoenix playing with knocked the air out of her lungs. She couldn't help but find the beauty in such small things.

"Phoenix, you're so talented," she found herself saying quietly. His eyes widened slightly - he'd never heard those words being said to him by anyone all except his mum, father, and Elliot. And now, hearing Adrianna saying it, speaking the words with such passion and so genuine, he felt his heart swell in his chest.

"Thank you," he muttered quietly while a cheshire grin found its way on his face. His gaze kept flickering from his gold irises to her soft and inviting pink lips. Fuck I am so in love with this girl, he thought to himself.

"The piece is Frühlingsglaube, by Schubert." Phoenix found himself saying, well, asking her if she knew of it to which she shook her head. All she did know however was how romantic and sweet the piece was and how she'd give anything to hear Phoenix play again.

"But I love it," the words were the ghost of themselves as she said it with another smile.

Her head fell on his shoulder and he played a random melody and she watched with amazement.

"Pyper can play as well," Phoenix said softly amidst the quiet between them and Adrianna smiles at the thought.

"Does Blake play too?"

Phoenix shook his head, "He didn't want to." The reply caused Adrianna to openly gawk, what the hell?! She thought everyone would want to, playing the piano was such a beautiful thing.

"Do you want to learn, étoile filante?" Phoenix glanced down at Adrianna sweetly. She becomes flustered remembering she once played when she was five but hadn't touched a piano since. All she's even know to play was the violin, for the major part. She begins to formulate a response, stuttering. Before she could answer, he got up and went directly behind her.

"I'll teach you, étoile," he whispered and put his hands lightly over hers on the piano and they began moving graciously. She gasped, closing her eyes and she has a flashback to her five year old self. Before either of them know it, she's moving on her own, playing Morning Mood by Edvard Grieg.

Phoenix took a sharp intake of breath and regained his seat next to her. After keying notes to almost the entire song, Adrianna stopped and froze in her spot. She felt lost.
