I don't have much to say. The idea and music was from The lover.
Enjoy!

It was worth it, he thought as he was playing the piano. His hand moved automatically even when his mind was filled with memories of their time together. He had played the waltz so many times before that his fingers just knew where to reach on their own. That gave him the opportunity to watch the girl on the desk.
She was facing him, a sad smile on her full lips. He was wondering what kind of story was she imagining behind the lulling notes. Her eyes were closed and she was swinging her body to the rhythm, looking like a child on a swing. She had let her hair down for him, knowing that he liked how it seemed to live its own life, swirling around her.
The red haired man smiled to himself and his playing became more emotional. The young woman noticed that and looked up, drinking in the sight. He was relaxed, a state he only let to the surface when there were just the two of them. His body moved with the waves of the music and she could see how gentle his hands were on the keys. Through the years, she had seen how other pianists' hands became rough and ungraceful when they had to play fast and difficult parts. Kenshin was not like that. His playing was soft and beautiful to watch, without a false note in it. His teacher had told her once that he could be a famous pianist if he wanted to. She smiled when she remembered how she had bullied him to learn this peace after she had heard it. It took him a week, it had been a surprise to her birthday two years ago. Ever since then, he always played that to her, and only for her.
The last part was sad, yet Kenshin managed to make it content and calm at the same time, pouring in his feelings too. The last note floated in the air before it died down softly, as a closure of their life until then. They both remained at their places.
Her unbelievably blue orbs mirrored love as she was burning his image into her mind, noting every little part of him. Her best friend and lover for years. How calm he had been when she had told him that she had to move…
The moment broke when laughter from the corridor cut into the silence. Slowly, the girl slid off of the desk and made her way to the door. The waltz was a last parting gift from him as a reminder, a promise that they'll meet again.
"Goodbye, Kenshin…" Her whisper reached his ears.
While she was walking out of the school, Kaoru could hear the piano again. The same waltz… it was filled with hope this time and she smiled as a teardrop slid down on her cheek.
