The Etude Drabbles

by Erlkonig

A series of drabbles themed around Chopin's Etudes. My first drabbles! They will be imperfect (not exactly 100 words) but I'll keep it between 100 and 150, not counting notes and comments. Major key etudes will be in Kai's POV and minor keys in Shuhei's. Slice-of-life. [Kai Ichinose x Shuhei Amamiya]

4. Op 10, No 4 in c-sharp minor (Torrent)

Etude Op. 10, No. 4 in c-sharp minor ("Torrent")

"Kai-kun! Don't!" Shuhei's yells did nothing to slow the human tornado whirling around the apartment.

"I'm so late!" Kai sprinted up the stairs and shook out his blanket in a cloud of dust and crumbs. His keys flew out and over the railing. Shuhei caught them in one hand and tossed them back.

"Geez, you could pack the night before," he grumbled.

The toaster popped up as Kai snatched up his bag and crammed in his notes. He grabbed the toast that Shuhei held out. His bag thumped against the table. Shuhei reached out and held the teetering coffee mug steady. Kai grinned around a mouthful of toast. "Thanks, Amamiya!" He flew out the door, leaving a trail of rustling papers and blessed calm behind.
