Jimmy's eyes hesitated on the piano.

He was at the kingdom that Scott lived in. Their castle was smaller yet it was just as stunning.

"Jimmy, you should play the piano!" Scott suggested, pointing at the grand piano sitting in the corner of the ball room.

"I don't play anymore, you know this." He said, crossing his arms. His fingers twitched.

"Just admit it, you miss playing! Play me something!" The elf pushed him towards the bench, Jimmy making sure not to hit the piano.

"But-"

"Pleaseeeeee!" Jimmy bit his lip. He couldn't say no to Scott.

So, he sat at the bench.

His fingers shook as he reached up to open the lid, eyes crossing the keys. He was terrified.

"Play for me!" Scott said, sitting next to him on the bench.

And he did.

Jimmy played from memory, trying to play fluidly unlike he played that one night on stage. He couldn't experience that again. But-

"Beautiful." Scott whispered under his breath.

It became easier from there.

He let his heart out as he played, becoming one with the piano. He felt that same peace fall over him from years ago when he first played.

At one point, Scott rested his head on Jimmy's shoulder, humming along with his eyes closed. Jimmy could see a blush faintly painting Scott's cheeks and his smile was one he hadn't seen before. It was one that he loved.

But it's not a crush. It's definitely not why would it be?

Unknowing to Jimmy, Scott was feeling the same.

Friends.

They would entertwine their fingers and hold hands as they walked down the streets.

Friends.

Jimmy would push Scott's hair out of his face to see him better.

Friends.

They would call each other things like "love" or "sweetheart."

They would launch themselves into each other's hold whenever they would see each other.

Friends.

They would stay up hours at a time on call with each other, just talking.

Friends.

Scott would curl up with Jimmy as they watched movies.

Friends.

If one of them scraped their knee, the other would bend down and kiss it better.

Friends.

Jimmy would play music as Scott twirled in his new outfits.

Friends.

They would both laugh if something funny happened.

Friends.

They would cry for each other just the same.

Friends.

Their foreheads pushed together, faces blushing in the soft candle light.

Friends...

As their lips met for a brief few seconds.
