*When had Christian bought a violin? Erik wondered. It was rather endearing. He could play, too, despite his obvious lack of practice. Not quite so brilliant a potential as his voice, but not embarrassing, either.
He slipped into the room, and sat at the piano, where he began to lightly pick out a counterpoint to Christian's playing.*

*Christian knew, without looking, who the pianist was. He played on, improvising only just a bit as the music moved on. At the end of the piece, he gave Erik a smile*
"I felt I'd been neglecting the violin a bit too much."

*Erik smiled back.*
"Erik did not know you played," *he said.* "You play well. Though you are out of practice, and did not study long; have you?"
*There seemed to be something different about him. Erik couldn't put his finger on it.*

"I picked up some from my mother, and always resolved to better myself at it. But when she died, I lost my only real tutor and by then voice had taken precedence."
*He wistfully set the instrument down and walked up to Erik, giving him a big hug*
"So, did the business you had to take care of go well?"

*Erik was surprised by the boy's display of affection, but by no means put out. He also wasn't sure what business Christian referred to, but it made no difference; Erik was not at all concerned with how much Christian knew about his doings or his whereabouts.*
"Yes. Quite," *he said, savoring the rather wanton way Christian was holding their bodies together.* "You seem... content."

"The opera was good, Erik, but something about it bothers me. I know I am not mad, but I could swear that it is the same exact performance that I saw before, quite some time ago. There were even the same little mistakes."
*He kissed Erik, a bit hotly*
"Have any other plans for today?"

*The plots and performances of opera had long since ceased to amaze or interest Erik in any way; nothing new and exciting ever happened. And when it did, it usually ended in various rotting vegetables being thrown at the perpetrator.
But now, he was entirely distracted by Christian's kiss. Which he returned, though he had to forcibly restrain his interest lest his face betray him.*
"Your enthusiasm gratifies Erik," *he said.* "What have I done to deserve such affection?"

*Christian laughed heartily, giving Erik a knowing look*
"As if you don't know."
*He kissed him again, a bit more passionately*

He loves me.
*The thought was blissful and bright, and he kissed Christian long and hard. He had to hold the boy to him so as to wait out the inevitable alteration of his face.*
"So much love..." *he murmured, not realizing he did so aloud.*

"Absolutely."
*Christian kissed him again, his hold on Erik decidedly NOT innocent.*

Elphaba banged her fist on what she was certain was a door in the cellars.
"COULD YOU QUIET DOWN IN THERE!?"

*Erik wrenched himself away in frustration and stalked over to the door and yanked it open.*
"You cannot possibly have heard us kissing out there, let alone anywhere people are supposed to be. Even if they are green."

"Oh, you HAD to mention the green. Well, ha-ha."

*Erik blinked.*
"Erik likes green. But that doesn't give you license to dictate how he runs his cellar. What is with you people? I come down here to escape society and you all follow me. Erik has soundproofed this house to the extent current technology allows. What do you want him to do?"

"For your information, this cellar is a very good place for ANYONE to escape society, and that's what I was trying to DO."
