~*~


Sean placed the compact disk in the stereo’s receiving drawer and pressed play. He waited until the silver cd was retracted inside the machine and out of sight, before crossing the room and flicking off the lights. He took the chair by the window, kicked off his trainers, sank down into the comfortable overstuffed armchair with relief.

Silence filled the house, until, a gentle note sounded from the speakers. A string of them politely followed, smooth and weightless in the darkness and Sean sighed as Chopin flowed inside his ear. The beautiful music tickled along his spine, caused him to stretch out his long legs, the relaxation taking hold as he rested his socked feet on the low slung ottoman.

His flight had been long and protracted, the headache he’d brought with him across the pond having only intensified as time passed . . . but he was comfortable now, and Viggo would be home any moment.

Settling deeper into the chair, Sean gazed out the clear window panes. Moonlight dripped from the dark skies, stroked the towering pines and stately oaks bordering Viggo’s Idaho home with a bare silver luminance. Sean looked, listened and imagined Chopin’s music, dipping and flying among the boughs, dropping at a moments notice to whisper in the pine needles carpeting the ground, only to arrow up again, unstoppable, toward the sky.

Notes skimmed and flew, delicate and then in a flash turned demanding, none of them still as Sean was. He sat still and listened to the glorious voice of Chopin’s song, the notes coated in moonlight, soaring and sinking all at once through the paths of his imagination. He felt relaxed and awakened all at the same time, and it was pure magic, this.

So relaxed was Sean, that when Viggo laid hands on him, he didn’t even move. Just exhaled, still filled with the dancing notes of passionate moonlit music. Warmth slid along his chest, hands, touching so gently . . . fingers cupped his chin, and suddenly the night burst with heat as Viggo’s mouth skated demandingly along his neck. His mouth was taken and Sean moaned hungrily into the kiss, opened wide and invited Viggo in.

Fingers slid into his hair and Sean soared, dipped and flew and came alive with a different kind of music, that of Viggo’s white hot voice, hands and mouth, as he played Sean so expertly. There was a sudden absence of music from the stereo as it paused, worked and whirred, began playing again as Sean had set it to play continuously on a repeating loop. Neither man noticed, entwined as they were on the chair, naked skin showing pale in the pearly moonlight.

Delicate notes trickled in, counter pointed by rough, needy moans, and as Sean’s body arched up from the chair the piano’s notes suddenly climbed the scales with him in his passion. Viggo’s voice flowed into his ear and Sean bucked against strong binding arms, and his last coherent thought before plunging into the well of pleasure was that Viggo was a lot like Chopin . . . unstoppable, unbelievable. Pure magic.

Just..... um....... wow. Apparently I'm rendered speechless. This wasn't written - you painted these words. So beautiful!

And I think I want to play some Chopin, now. I may have some at work! *rummages about*

Thanks so much! You're too kind, I'm so glad you enjoyed this. Chopin always feels so relaxing and soothing to me, and as I was listening to it last night, Sean poked me for fic. *g* Thanks for reading, have a great work day (in as much as that's possible ;P )

Oh my... this is gorgeous, and the shift from music to touch is perfect, weaving in and out of each other. Chopin is the perfect choice, too, cool and liquid and yet warm and satisfying all at the same time. Yum!

Thank you! I appreciate your kind comments, this was positively a spur of the moment fic, (not surprisingly as I was listening to Chopin). So glad you liked this, the way I portrayed the music and Sean's relationship to it, I'm glad it all made sense! Thanks for reading, ;)

This is so very sensual and beautifully written! As much of a rock chick I may be, I absolutely love sitting back and chilling out to some classical music at the end of a had day sometimes, so I really enjoyed the way you've described the music and Sean's slow relaxation to it!

Thank you! I'm a rock chick too, but this music never fails to relax me, I was hoping I conveyed that through Sean's reaction and feelings about it. I'm so glad it seemed to come across that way, and of course, Viggo had to get in there, too. *g* Thanks for reading!

You've painted such a strong sense of the music, of the whole experience as more than aural. Lovely.

Thanks so much! I think I wanted the music to become a character in itself. I'm glad to know you felt it so strongly. Thanks for reading, and I appreciate you letting me know ya enjoyed! ;)

Great how the flow of music and the "flow" of tenderness intermingle here!

Y'know, I wouldn't know Chopin from Mozart, but it doesn't matter. The descriptions are so clear, using the moonlight and the trees, and then of course Viggo's contribution to the whole cosmic resonance just pulls it all together. Happy sigh. :)

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed this, the music and these two. I think Sean and Viggo really are entwined here, literally and figuratively. Thanks for reading! ;)

"He sat still and listened to the glorious voice of Chopin’s song, the notes coated in moonlight, soaring and sinking all at once through the paths of his imagination."

What a beautiful image . . . Sean entwined with such glorious music.

I see you were listening to Chopin Nocturne 15 - did you hear Sean play from that in "Extremely Dangerous"? (I think it was that one? Certainly Chopin, anyway!)

You gave him such happy and peaceful feeligns here; I could just hear that music swirling around.

Beautiful.

Thank you so much! I'm really glad you liked this, felt Sean's mood got totally entwined with the music. I was listening to Nocturne 15 as I wrote this, but I don't remember hearing it in 'Extremely Dangerous', I'll have to go back and watch that again!

Thanks for reading, letting me know that you felt this to be peacefull and happy, that makes *me* happy! ;)

This is great...the interminging of the music from the CD with the music of their bodies. Your writing is so descriptive it's wonderful.

Thanks so much! So glad you enjoyed, and thought this worked well, descriptiveness and all. Thanks for reading! ;)
