Chapter Text
Athanas and Violet were practically standing at the door waiting for Nyk to arrive for their weekly lessons. Since the spirit started coming around, originally only as an acquaintance to Poet, the man was becoming a well known face among the residents of the house. Athanas liked him because he was smart and kind and knew so many interesting things. Violet enjoyed him for those same reasons, but also because how intriguing he was. Nyk's personality was so starkly different from Barnaby's, or even Poet's for that matter. Violet was also rather curious as to why Poet seemed to dislike him so much. Perhaps he saw something in Nyk that no one else could? Whatever the case, Nyk was an absolute delight because he was so kind and gave out hugs so readily!
When Nyk did finally arrive, Athanas flung the door open and he and Violet practically tackled him to the ground. Nyk laughed and wrapped his arms around the two of them, squeezing them in their group hug that was slowly becoming a tradition each time he arrived. "Hello boys! I'm so glad my students are so eager," he said, walking them backwards back into the house as they remained hanging off of him. When he finally managed to pry them off, Nyk followed them to the recreational room where the tables and musical instruments were.
As usual, Nyk started by setting up Violet with some language worksheets. Since Violet had started on Greek and Latin on his own, they decided that Japanese would be next, thinking it might be nice to speak to Poet in his native tongue as a way to repay him for all the times they hang out. With that done, he would move to Athanas's side at the piano and they would work on chords. Occasionally when Athanas got frustrated or messed up, Nyk stops the lesson to play a song and sing for him. The Grecian finds his favorite song to be Let's Fall in Love. It was just so beautiful and sweet, telling of how everything could fall in love. With their wedding in the works and a few months away, Athanas was more lovely-dovey than ever (if possible) to Typhus. Every conversation turned into a flurry of little kisses and giggling, almost to the point of being annoying to some of the other family members. But Athanas couldn't care less, and Nyk took that positive, lovely energy he had around him and turned it into productive piano lessons.
