“Relationships are ropes. Love is a noose."
Honestly, he didn't think the song would do much. It was a nice song, but it wasn't that good. Besides he knew he was rusty and there was more than enough room for improvement. Had he enough interest in the instrument, he might think it worth playing more. Til then he would keep playing what he knew, composing when he had the time and patience to do so. He sat there playing the song a couple of times through until he footsteps in the hall. He could feel the males presence behind him, feel his lingering stare. Samuel made no acknowledgements to the male and just played. His fingers drifting from one key to another. He smiled as the male came to sit beside him, laughing a bit at his words. As he drew the song to a close, he glanced over at the male, taking in that he was still fully dressed and looked ready to go at any moments notice. "If you liked that then wait here." he replied just as softly. Rising from his seat, Samuel moved toward the closet, pulling out a violin case. He took a minute to tune it and put a bit of rosen on his bow. Afterward, he turned to the male and began playing one of the few tunes composed himself. Music was an escape, not something to be made profit from. If it turned into a job it would no longer be something he had for himself. The melody was short, sweet and very calming. When he finished playing, he lowered his violin and rejoined the male at the bench, sitting closely beside him. "My apologizes for offending you, I meant no disrespect." Picking up one of the males' hands, he lightly pressed his lips against it, and placed it back on the bench just as softly as when he picked it up. "Would you care to play anything?" he asked, motioning to the piano before them both.

 "Micha really didn’t know how things would go between Samuel and him. He didn’t want to make judgment but still he could leave anytime he wanted to. Micha listened as Samuel played, he could tell the piano wasn’t Samuel’s first choice. He found it amusing in a way but he still listened. Micha didn’t find Samuel terrible but that he simply needed practice. He heard Samuel laugh after he spoke which was a good thing; it meant he hadn’t pissed Samuel off. Micha knew it was simply him that was upset and not Samuel. He watched as Samuel shifted beside him and moved toward a closet. Micha turned around in his seat as he watched Samuel get out a violin case.
He watched Samuel as he pulled the violin out and tuned it. Micha relaxed as he waited for Samuel to start to play. He listened as Samuel started to play, watching as Samuel’s fingers danced over the strings as he brought the bow over the strings as well. Micha found Samuel’s piece to be rather beautiful but he also found that Samuel was beautiful when he played though he would never say it to his face. He smiled as Samuel finished and moved back to sit beside him. Micha felt Samuel take his hand as he spoke. He watched as Samuel kissed it before placing it back down on the bench. Micha shook his head lightly, ”I’m sorry too…I should not have overreacted like that.” He spoke softly apologizing to Samuel as well. Micha looked toward the piano as Samuel motioned toward it. He nodded slightly, ”Sure.” Micha spoke as he turned in the seat and faced the piano keys. He slipped his fingers over the keys as he started to play a small piece.
Micha’s piece:Yoshiki’s-Without You"

“Relationships are ropes. Love is a noose."
Nodding as the male accepted his apology, he in turn accepted the males' own form an apology. He hadn't been expecting it, but he wasn't in a position where he even had a reason to decline it. He smiled shyly as the male agreed to play something for him. He set his violin aside and turned in his seat to watch the male play. The song was beautiful, he couldn't help but to close his eyes and simply smile to himself as he listened. Samuel sat there peacefully until the piece was over. He slowly opened his eyes, "That was really beautiful." he said sweetly, smiling at the male. He let his own fingers drift over the keys as he played a small bit of Pachelbel's Canon in D before stopping and deciding he liked how it sounded better on his violin. Standing once more, he picked up where he'd left off, his fingers moving fluidly across the strings. He didn't play all the way through, just enough to get it out of his system. "You know we could just do this after the gallery," he suggested, lowering his violin as he spoke. "Just come back up here and play to our hearts content. What do you think?" It didn't seem like a terrible idea to him. Playing music was relaxing, it would give them more of a chance to get to know one another by learning through music and play. He saw nothing offensive or demeaning about that. And were either of them to get tired if Micha wanted he could either drive him home like the gentleman he claimed to be or allow him to spend the night here. The choice of course would clearly be up to Micha.

"Micha let himself drift into the song as he played. His fingers danced over the keys as his mind was lost as he played. He finished the song shortly after a while. Micha glanced to see Samuel’s eyes were closed. He smiled as Samuel opened his eyes. Micha found it nice that Samuel had been able to enjoy the piece as much as he did. He smiled as Samuel spoke, ”Thank you.” Micha spoke as he watched as Samuel slipped his hands over the keys and started to play something. He let his hand drop from the keys as he listened. Micha watched as Samuel stopped after a while and wondered if something was wrong. He glanced to see Samuel stand up to pick up his violin. Micha turned as he listened to Samuel play the piece on his violin. He found that he rather preferred the piece on the violin more than the piano. Micha listened as Samuel played until he finished. He looked up at Samuel as he spoke about coming back to Samuel’s house after their date and playing. Micha nodded slightly at Samuel’s words, ”Sure, we can do that.” He spoke not minding it they came back and played again. Micha however wasn’t going to spend the night again. He didn’t let it show but Samuel’s words only irritated him again. Micha didn’t understand why it was okay for him to spend the night but it wasn’t okay if Samuel spent the night at his house. He slipped away from the piano no longer wanting to play. Micha was simply too annoyed to care anymore. He moved toward the window as he glanced out it as he looked down into Samuel’s backyard. "

"Micha knew he wasn’t being fair to Samuel by ignoring him but he didn’t care to play fair. He preferred to simply ignore the problem than talk it out. Micha heard movement behind him as he figured Samuel was putting his violin back in his case. He stared down at the garden Samuel had in the back of his house. Micha held no interest for the roses but he needed something to look at. He felt Samuel step beside him after a while. Micha was glad Samuel didn’t touch him; he was likely to pull away from him. He stood there as silence settled between them. Micha felt Samuel take his hand after a while. He was tempted the pull away but he didn’t. Micha wasn’t going to be that mean. He looked toward Samuel as he spoke, ”I asked you to come over after our date but you made it sound as if my whole intention was just to sleep with you like I’m some whore you’ve decided to bring into your life…You turned it down when all I wanted was you just to stay…” Micha spoke as he pulled his hand away from Samuel as he turned toward him. ”But what I don’t get is how come I’m allowed to stay but when I invited you over it’s not allowed...I was only inviting you over simply because you wanted to see where I lived and I figured it was only fair that you might want to sleep over but I won’t ask you again.” He spoke as he watched Samuel. Micha meant his words, he wouldn’t ask Samuel to come over again and he was to the point of not even allowing Samuel to know where he lived. "

"Micha could understand that Samuel was comfortable with allowing him to stay because it was Samuel’s house. He simply just didn’t get why Samuel didn’t want to stay at his house. Micha didn’t know if there was more to the whole first date thing but he wasn’t going to push it. He simply just wouldn’t allow Samuel in his house. Micha nodded simply as Samuel spoke as he looked away from Samuel. He looked around the room as he crossed his arms. Micha leaned against the window as he stood there listening to Samuel. He knew Samuel hadn’t meant to make him sound like a whore after all if Samuel wanted to call him a whore he was sure Samuel would have just said it straight up. Micha sighed a little as he stood there. He looked down just wanting to forget the whole conversation. Micha looked toward Samuel as everything just seemed to be going in a loop between them. ”You may see where I live but nothing more than that.” He spoke as he pulled away from the window and walked toward the sofa. Micha had given Samuel his first chance to be let into his house and life but he wasn’t going to allow it again for a while. He took a seat on the sofa as he crossed his legs, he relaxed where he sat. "

“Relationships are ropes. Love is a noose."
Samuel was a freak with issues, there was no good explaining those issues to people more sane than him. He wanted Micha to understand that the issue was his own and had nothing to do with the photographer. But he feared his wording was only making him sound even worse than he already did. He nodded as the male spoke, thinking it best they now drop the issue entirely. He couldn't make himself any clearer and if he pissed Micha off anymore, he dare not know what he might do to him. As Micha went to sit on the sofa, he went ahead and put his violin back into the closet. He then went to sit on the other end of the couch, slouching back in his seat as he tried to think of something else to talk about. He felt like he should apologize again, but felt like that might only tick him off more. Sighing, he stood back up from the couch. "I'll be right back, I left my cigarettes downstairs." Samuel quietly left the room and hurried down the stairs. If music got Micha to stay, maybe he could try something else to cheer him up.
Once he was down in the kitchen, Samuel first pocketed his pack of cigarette and silver lighter. He then went about the counter, filling a kettle with water and placing it on the stove. He stood there waiting until the water boiled, quickly taking it off the stove so it didn't whistle loud enough for the male to hear. Samuel grabbed two mugs from the cabinet along with a canister of hot coco mix. He dumped two spoonfuls into each mug and added the water. Stirring both mugs, he picked them up and headed back through his house. The trip up the stairs was slow as he was careful not to spill any of the drinks on the stairs. The last thing he needed was another mess to clean up. He walked up to the third floor, coming back into the parlor and resuming his seat beside the male. "Here," he said, handing the male a mug. "Be careful it's hot." He smiled shyly, hoping like hell Micha didn't have a temper like an old ex he'd pissed off, who thought it would be "fun" to dump a mug cup of hot coffee in his lap. To be on the safe side, Samuel crossed his legs and sipped his drink slowly. "Did you um......did you still want me to drive you to the station later?" he asked curiously. It was a bad question in his mind. But it wasn't like he could keep the photographer here all day. If he had to go than he had go. He wasn't going to keep him hostage and end up on the news later that evening.

"Micha knew he would just have to take things as they were. He needed to be slow with Samuel and not push things. Micha understood that it was a personal and comfort issue with Samuel which he was fine with. He couldn’t make Samuel do something he didn’t want to. Micha watched as Samuel went about putting his violin back in the closet before moving toward the closet. He glanced toward Samuel as he moved to sit on the other end of the sofa. Micha watched Samuel as he sat there. He was glad that Samuel hadn’t apologized again. Micha didn’t want to hear apologizes anymore it wasn’t Samuel’s fault anymore. He sat there as he looked down at his hands. Micha felt movement as Samuel stood up. He nodded slightly and watched as Samuel left. Micha sighed as he leaned back as he titled his head back and stared at the ceiling.
He closed his eyes as he sat there. Micha waited for Samuel to return. It took a while before he heard movement through the hallway. He felt movement as Samuel took a seat beside him after a while again. Micha smelled the scent of chocolate. He opened his eyes as he looked at Samuel seeing he had made hot chocolate. Micha grabbed the cup from Samuel and thanked him. He took a sip from it enjoying the taste of the creamy hot chocolate. Micha sighed a little as he continued to sip the warm content. He heard Samuel speak after a while and nodded a little. ”Yeah…If you still want to.” Micha spoke as he shifted to move closer to Samuel. He wasn’t mad at Samuel anymore. Micha was simply being childish and not being considerate of Samuel’s feelings. He sipped on his hot chocolate as he slipped his hand down toward Samuel’s hand as he took it in his own. Micha leaned against Samuel as he held onto his hand. He looked down at their hands, ”So tell me Samuel how did you come about playing the violin?” Micha asked curiously figuring it was best to just move onto a different topic on that they could discuss to start a conversation.

“Relationships are ropes. Love is a noose."
Laughing a bit at the way the male opened his eyes and immediately took his mug, Samuel sat back, sipping on his own drink. He pulled his lighter and cigarettes from his pocket, placing them on the arm rest beside him. He nodded as the male thanked him, it was no problem. It was always said the way to a man's heart was with food, so he figured what the hell. As Micha spoke, he wondered if he really wanted to go. It seemed to him there was some uncertainty in his voice. If he wanted to stay, it was fine with him, he didn't mind the company. He watched the male move closer from the corner of his eye, smiling to himself as he took his hand. He looked down at the male as he started a new conversation. "Well it started out that my brothers and I were all kind of force into taking music lessons. See the private school we went to starts you off with an instrument and from first grade up to fifth, you're taught how to play that instrument. For me it was the violin, for Adam it was the clarinet, and for Oliver he probably got the worse cause his was piano. And at our school you didn't just practice on one type of piano, you had to learn on all types, like I'm talking they brought out the antiques, the kind you see in those British 18th century movies. But anyways, throughout elementary school I learned classical violin. I then started getting into other stringed instruments, and now I own my violin, a cello, viola, two guitars - one acoustic, one electric -, and a bass. The violin is still my favorite though. I like the way it sounds, and that there are just so many variations you can come up with for a song. I remember when I was in sixth grade, I just about wanted to punch my strings teacher because he made us play eight variations of Twinkle Little Star." Laughing at the memory, he smiled feeling slightly embarrassed. He'd never really talked with anyone about his childhood. It felt odd and yet at the same time he was perfectly fine with it. "What about you? The piano?" he asked in turn. Samuel was equally curious how Micha had come to learn to play. He played so beautifully, he wondered who it was that taught him.

"When it came to hot beverages, Micha enjoyed hot chocolate over coffee. He preferred the sweet chocolate over the bitter sugar concoction he had to mix together. Micha sipped on the hot chocolate as he sat there. He held onto Samuel’s hand as he listened to him speak. Micha found Samuel’s background into his past rather amazing. He didn’t think he could function learning like that. It seemed almost amazing that Samuel had been able to learn like that. Micha would have given up if he had been pushed to learn like that. He couldn’t imagine being forced to take lessons. Micha listened as Samuel laughed as he finished. He could imagine that it would be quite difficult. Micha shook his head lightly, ”I couldn’t imagine being able to learn like that.” He spoke finding it rather terrible as he took a sip of his drink. Micha looked toward Samuel as he questioned him. ”I’m mostly self-taught I would say…I learned a bit from grandfather on my mother’s side. He taught me a few things though it’s mostly through practice on my part and simply just taking the time to learn.” He spoke finding that his story wasn’t as fascinating as Samuel’s but just as simple. Micha had practically taught and raised himself his whole life. "

“Relationships are ropes. Love is a noose."
Samuel merely smiled at the males' words. He didn't think his mandatory lessons were all that bad. To him they were just another class, like math or science. It wasn't all bad, if it had been he wouldn't have collected his instruments. "What do you expect, it was a prestigious private school. It beat taking conversational French or Home Ec." he replied. shrugging lightly. Samuel didn't think his education was all that bad. It was a lot better than most people got, so he wasn't complaining. Taking another sip from his mug, he leaned forward and set the mug down on the floor. He listened to Micha tell him about how he learned the piano while he slipped a cigarette between his lips. Inhaling as he lit the tip, he found it rather amazing the male could play so well without much help from anyone else. He knew it could be done, but to Samuel, the piano just seemed like one of those instruments that without guidance there was no real telling if you were learning how to play right. "That's pretty impressive," he replied, "But this is coming from someone who still manages to butcher Mary had a Little Lamb so it might now mean as much. You do play very well though. Other than what you just played, do you have any favorite songs you like to play?"

"Micha went to public school so he didn’t understand what Samuel went through. He didn’t think he could function in such a strict private school. Micha laughed softly as Samuel spoke and nodded slightly. ”True. French and Home Ec can be rather boring…However French isn’t so bad.” He spoke smiling lightly at Samuel. Micha had learned French as a second language as well as English. His first languages were German and Russian. Micha watched as Samuel shifted beside him setting his mug on the floor. He continued to sip on his hot chocolate as he emptied his cup as well. Micha set his cup on the floor as well as he crossed his legs. He watched as Samuel grabbed a cigarette from his pack and lit a cigarette up. Micha leaned back as he sat there. He listened as Samuel spoke and nodded a little. Micha laughed softly, ”You don’t play too bad…You managed to get me to come up here so I say you play fairly well.” He spoke smiling at Samuel as he thought about his question. There were so many songs he liked. ”Well there’s Seress’ Gloomy Sunday, Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata, and Bach’s piano concerto No 1 in D Minor just to name a few.” Micha spoke as he thought about the ones he did play often.

“Relationships are ropes. Love is a noose."
Samuel laughed a bit as he wondered what sort of education Micha had compared to his own. He never really liked French that much. English and Russian were his first languages. He wasn't too fluent in many others, just enough to carry out business meetings or give someone a colorful insult.He liked Thai as well as Korean and Japanese. Those were three languages on his "I refuse to kick the bucket" bucket list. He smiled as the male soon finished his drink, making a mental note to take both mugs downstairs later. He was glad to hear the male enjoyed his playing, but he knew he wasn't that great. "That was the only song I ever really learned to play. A little something for my first and last recital. " he replied, smiling back at the male, threading his fingers with the males and squeezing it lightly. He took another pull as Micha went on to name some of his favorite songs, nodding along to show he was paying attention. All of them were good songs, ones he'd grown up with before branching out and learning other pieces. Samuel had nothing against the Classics, he was quite fond of many classical pieces, but they weren't all his favorites. "Nice selection. For my violin I'd have to say my favorites are Vaughan William's The Lark Ascending, Jesper Kyd's theme for Assassin's Creed: Revelations, John Williams' Becoming a Geisha, and Mairead Nesbitt's The Butterfly." he replied, giving a few of his own. Samuel had many favorite songs, it was hard narrowing them all down so he chose the first few that came to mind.
