“I’m sure you’re great at violin but don’t go getting your ego bigger then it already is, Majesty.” Liam said, rolling onto his stomach, grinning.

"Oh, leave me alone. I specialize in music-based magic, I have to be good at violin to do so," Cyprus said, still grinning good-naturedly
“Yeah yeah, whatever you say.” Liam rolled his eyes playfully but continued to smile.
Cyprus stuck his tongue out at Liam before returning his gaze to the clouds
Liam did the same and closed his eyes, his smile still on his face but he drifted off into a light sleep.
Cyprus stared up at the clouds, eventually drifting off as well
A few hours later Liam woke up with a jolt, finding the sun had completely gone down and here was now a chill in the air. He wrapped his arms around his body, wishing he had brought a jumper.
Cyprus stirred awake, yawning as he did so. He blinked a few times, realizing that the sun had gone down. "Well. That's a bit of a predicament," he mumbled
Liam nodded, “Yeah, it’s late, I-I should head home.” He stretched his back out and tried standing up, only to fall back down again.
Cyprus laughed as Liam fell. "You look like some poor drunk stumbling out of a tavern," he chuckled
Liam scowled at Cyprus, “Not funny, Majesty.” He muttered standing up, wobbling a little but he didn’t fall again.
"Look, he's even got jello legs," Cyprus snickered, reaching over to poke Liam's knee while he grinned
Liam fell over when Cyprus poked his knee and groaned when he hit the floor, “No fair!”
"You fell like a toothpick!" Cyprus laughed before beginning to giggle so much he fell over
Liam pouted then smirked at Cyprus and tackled him. They rolled a few meters in the grass until they eventually stopped and Liam was lying on top of Cyprus, still smirking, “Don’t push me over again. Goodnight Majesty.” He said into his ear before getting up and walking away.
Cyprus had a starstruck look on his face as he watched Liam go. He let out a breath he didn't know he was holding before letting his head fall back against the grass. He stared up at the stars, his face flushed and eyes wide. Lord, his heart was still racing
Liam’s heart was pounding. He could not believe he just did that but he enjoyed it. He couldn’t wipe the smirk off his face as he left. Maybe he should show his confident side more often. Now he couldn’t wait until tomorrow night.
(time skip :v)
Cyprus was sitting atop the grave marker tonight, and in a good mood. He had already taken his violin out, which he had resting in his lap
Liam had a few paintings in his bag which he had slung over one shoulder as he walked into the clearing. His heart rate was quicker tonight and he didn’t know why but he couldn’t wipe the smile off his face as he walked over to Cyprus.
"There's my jello-legged painter," Cyprus called, a wide grin spreading across his face at the sight of Liam. He adjusted the skull-carved violin in his grasp, his heart speeding up a bit
“Need me to tackle you again Majesty?” He called back, “Or did you learn your lesson from last time?” He unhooked his bag from his shoulder and placed it next to him as he sat down.
"Only if you want to sail right through me," Cyprus hummed smugly in response. He watched Liam sit down, watching the bag eagerly. "Now, let the cat out of the bag and show me some of those paintings."
“Nope, you have to play for me first.” Liam said, leaning back in his hands and crossing one leg over the other.
"You have several paintings, correct? Well, let's meet in the middle. You show me one first, and then I'll play," Cyprus countered with a crooked grin
“One song for one painting, that’s my final offer.” Liam said, pushing his bag behind him and out of view, smiling innocently at Cyprus.
Cyprus made an exaggerated scowl before sighing. "Fine, you win." He shifted his cloak off his damaged arm, though where just a stump was before was now what appeared to be a replacement arm made of flickering blue-violet flames. He held the skull-carved violin up to his chin, raising the bow before beginning to play
Liam closed his eyes and listened to the music. Cyprus played beautifully and he could listen for it all day if he could.
Cyprus continued to play, his eyes half-closed. The music was hauntingly beautiful, which was oddly fitting considering Cyprus was a spirit. Something began to happen to the ground as he played, though. The clearing slowly became alight with small blue and violet lights, twinkling just above the grass
Liam opened his eyes and gasped a little when he saw the scene, “What the-“ It just made everything ten times better.
Cyprus smiled softly at Liam's reaction. The lights began to flicker before forming in a circle around the clearing. The music began to reach a crescendo, and as it did so dozens of electric blue and pale violet roses began to grow from the ground
