I'm gonna go ahead and throw up my long start, take your time to respond.
It was late. Perhaps too late to be awake, but M, as always, was awake. He got home, clacking his keys on the inntable next to his front door and shutting the door to a quiet, dark home whose suggestive traits bore down on him. The dark carpets made soft squishing noises as he crept across the dark foyer to his main upstairs staircase. He wanted to make noise, his fingers itched to feel the keys below them. A moment’s pause, and he was up the steps in a heartbeat, his long legs taking three to four steps at a time to get to the master bedroom, where his well-worn piano waited for him. It was large, grand, shining and a sleek black. The sheet was down but the cover of the soundboard was down. He lifted it up first and blew off dust. Then he got started with his steps of preparation.
He was home, practically throwing his bag across the room to untighten his tie and sit on the black stool, which sunk with a soft hiss under his familiar weight. First, he moved the heavy sheet of wood covering the keys up and back, so he could actually play his piano, then sucked in a breath between his clenched teeth in actual, pure, excitement. He set his long fingers, worn and and naturally made to play, onto the cold white keys. The moonlight threw attractive silver rays of light, making them shift as he got ready to play.
He started with a slow scale that he followed slowly with his voice. Both, the piano and his voice were rumbly and strange-sounding to him. Soon he managed to get both under control and started quicker scales in different keys.
He found the key he wanted to play in, and played it quicker until his fingers ached in annoyance with him. When they ached, he joined with his voice to raise it higher and higher to the octave he knew it could still reach. It strained just a bit, naturally, but it soon sounded smooth as he finished his warm up.
He sat back in his seat with a soft inhale. What to play now? He leaned forward a bit and thought for a bit, but his fingers knew what he wanted. He set his fingers down, inhaled slowly, and started to play.
“Toniiight… , I'm gonna have myself a real good time… I feel ali-i-iiiive… and the world I’ll turn it inside out, yeah… And floating around in ecstasy…”
