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]

13. Op 25, No 1 in A-flat M (Aeolian Harp)

Etude Op. 25, No. 1 in A-flat Major ("Aeolian Harp")

The first faint tones of his phone alarm chimed in his ear. Kai blinked at the soft rays streaming through the window and across his futon. He reached under his pillow, groping for the snooze button. The alarm grudgingly silenced.

Nine minutes later, the chime returned, growing louder by the second. Grumbling, Kai reached under his pillow to silence it again. He pressed the button once, twice, three times, but the insistent song continued. It seemed to be coming from below. Blearily, he peered over the railing.

Amamiya sat at the piano bench, pointedly playing Kai's alarm song and giving him an unimpressed look. "Kai-kun! Time to get up!"

"Can I snooze you?"

"No."

Author's notes: Lol this etude sounds just like my phone alarm. :)
