Piano in the Night

Danny Fenton tossed and turned in his bed, every movement making his muscles scream. The last 4 fights had left him bruised and battered, he should be tired but there was something about Christmas night that made him restless. He tossed for 5 minutes before hitting his head on the baseboard making him thoroughly annoyed. He went downstairs for something to drink.

After 2 glasses of milk and a handful of cookies(from the jar, he wouldn't dare touch Santa's milk) he concluded that his life sucked. How's that for Christmas spirit? He always seem to get melancholy whenever Christmas rolled around. It made him think about the past year, what had happened. He stared at the soggy crumbs thinking.

"I'm considered a nerd, even though I have a C average, my parents are nutcases, I'm picked on constantly and I have 2 friends." He said to no one. He sighed and on top of that add, freaky ghost powers, an archenemy, an his older psychotic self who tried to mass murder everyone he came in contact with. Yeah that was definitely a lot to think about. Was it just him? Didn't other half mutant kids have arch enemies and an evil dark side? He laughed out loud and ran his hand through his hair, no for some reason Danny Fenton was weird in every aspect of the word.

The only normal thing was his crush on his best friend, which he couldn't tell her because of the arch enemy problem mentioned earlier. Isn't life a kicker? He smiled to himself and wiped the remaining milk mustache off of his lip. For some weird ungodly reason he knew he'd be okay. There was just something there that told him he'd play a huge part in history, but he'd be ok. But right now wasn't 20 years in the future, well his new future, the old one didn't work out so well (the sacrificing his humanity part wasn't all that tempting so he made some changes).

He put his cup in the sink and walked over to the Christmas tree perched in the living room. The tree was 9 feet tall and decorated so the branches dripped with garland, lights, tinsel, and ornaments. His eye scanned the tree looking for that special ornament. He found it and a soft smile came upon his face.

He gently lowered a small white grand piano with a vase full of roses and a lacy fabric under the face. He turned the small key under it and listened to the music float around the room. It warmed his heart to hear the notes of Fur Elise by Beethoven weave themselves throughout the living room. Inspired he went downstairs and started playing their piano.

His fingers skated over the ivory keys, barely registering what keys he hit. He played more from memory than actually reading the paper set in front of him. He smiled as the last few measures ended, this was how he escaped everything. His smile faded when the silence returned. The same hollow feeling filled his chest, maybe if he had someone to play for.

Sam also had trouble sleeping, the cause eluded her, and she kept tossing and turning. Family problems, the future, random things swirled in her head with no real sense of security, someone to be there, to catch her. After 5 minutes she got out of her bed and went over to her vanity. The black melted in and she got the small little box out of memory than sight. She hopped back into bed and flipped open the wooden top. A piano rose out and when she turned the key in the back Fur Elise by Beethoven began playing. The gift her grandfather had given had helped her sleep many a night, but not tonight. The smile faded to a frown as the piano stopped playing.

At least she thought it did. A soft piano melody could be heard from her living room. Her heart skipped a beat, and she tiptoed downstairs. She saw a broad shouldered shadow playing her piano in the living room. She watched his hands floats across the piano, how they coaxed the music out. She wasn't afraid anymore and she slowly walked up to the figure. Halfway to the piano, she figured out it was Danny, there was something in her that knew it was him, she couldn't be afraid of him. She walked over and put a hand on his shoulder. He stopped and placed his hand on hers and turned around.

"Danny it's 11:30, what are you doing in my house playing my piano." She said her voice bordering on a whisper.

"I felt………lonely, and I needed to play for someone. Someone who appreciate and understand, like you." He said and smiled.

She smiled back, so much had changed the sense of paranoia and worry had caused all 3 of them to mature and take on responsibilities. Danny especially, everything was on him, he worried constantly more about other people than himself.

"I wish I could play, but the piano is here for decoration more than anything else." She said looking at it longingly.

"Here, sit, I can teach you." He said. She sat down and placed her fingers on the keyboard as he put his on top of hers. They went over the notes slowly and she got used to it. She loved this, every time he whispered into her ear she sighed, every time he smiled she smiled and whenever he lifted her hand chills went up her spine. Finally she looked at the board and turned around.

"Why are you giving me a piano lesson at midnight on Christmas?" She said softly.

"Because,……… I don't know, I just needed to be here with you. I know it sounds gushy and romantic but it's what I feel." He said and looked into her eyes.

"I feel the same way." She whispered. They did nothing for a few minutes, then Danny began playing another song. It was familiar to her and yet so…….unfamiliar.

"Kiss from a Rose." He said answering her question.

"It's beautiful." She said. The lyrics came back to her like memories from a 5th birthday party. She sang softly and Danny kept playing. Sam leaned in and kissed him, unsure at first, but when Danny realized what happened she wasn't. They broke away and looked at each other.

"I-I thought that you didn't notice me, that you didn't care. That your attention was to other girls." She said tears in her eyes.

"Sam, I will never forget you." He said.

"Look you better go, it's almost 12:30. My parents won't exactly be happy about this." She said.

Danny transformed back into his ghost mode and started to leave.

"But Danny, thanks. For understanding, for……caring." She said.

"Yeah, I know the feeling. Oh and let's not tell Tuck, not yet." He said.

"Deal." She said and smiled back.

They both went back to their rooms not exactly sure about what happened, but they both fell asleep with a single toss or turn that night.

Well what did you think? This was meant to be fun and romantic, not a real reason behind it. Just something to make you go awww. Now Please drop me a review, they make me so happy! And I would appreciate no flames, they depress me a little bit.
