O1. Piano

Summary:

Steve and Arnie look at the piano that belonged to Arnie's late husband.

Notes:

The final work for my first card of my 2023 writing bingo. The card was supposed to last an entire year but I got excited and finished it in a week.

I love writing about Arnie and Steve.

Work Text:

"The piano belonged to my husband," Arnie says, when he follows Steve’s eyes. "He loved to play on it." 

Steve smiles at his friend and asks him to tell more. He's sad he never got to meet Michael. That he couldn't be there for the wedding. 

Back in the day he had known about Arnie and Arnie had known about him. They never thought it would be possible to love openly, to marry, to exist without fearing death and persecution. 

Steve is so glad his friend got to marry the man he loved. He hopes he too can one day.
