Work Text:
T'was a regular afternoon within the Holiday Mansion,
The lights were dim, house was dark, wasn't too much to mention.
Looking at that grand mansion, you would be quite smitten..
Considering the way that it looks, you'd believe everyday would be Christmas!
Noelle and her family were out to collect, and prep for a fest, because our great Mayor Carol wanted best of the best.
So it was pretty silent.. if not for the bliss.
Oh! Wait! Nevermind! Why, that sound was just Kris!
Bounding in through the window, they fell with a heave..
"One of the times I forget to bring a key.."
After getting up, Kris then looked around
And what they saw next.. it made their heart POUND.
Because there in the center, a glimmering sight
The Holiday's grand piano..
That would Kris would play through the night.
And true to their tradition, Kris took a few steps..
Got their hands in position with a swell in their chest.
But just before that, they quickly tore out their SOUL.
As it's not really playing if they're not in control.
And after all that, they began to tap at the keys
Fingers dancing like ballerinas as they played gracefully
Those hand-sticks, they swayed, with bundles of passion
As they glided on the piano in a ballet-like fashion.
"..even if I'm so happy, why don't I feel.. fulfilled?
Is it truly so great if nobody hears my skills?
This isn't as fun as I hoped it would be..
Why play this at all.. if so little can see..?"
Feeling disheartened with no one to play for,
Kris felt like the night was no longer in their favor
But as they stood up, they could see a faint glow..
"I'll listen to you play. You aren't completely alone."
Kris.. was surprised to say the least.
Their words had been.. caught.
But after consideration, they decided..
"Why not?"
And then went back to playing, rather beautifully too!
Why, it truly felt like a concert.. just.. for you.
