    Summary

    His fingers whizzed across the black and white keys of the old piano. He smiled while sweat dripped down his brow. Dan had always felt like the piano was just an extension of himself, the music becoming a part of him.
    The crowd clapped viciously as the final song came to a close. Dan smiled and looked up over the piano, glancing across the crowd. Then, right in the back corner, his gaze stopped on a man he didn’t recognize.

    Summary

    When they first started living together, Dan was always worried that his sleep schedule, or lack thereof, would bother his Flatmate. He would always spend hours a night wondering his room, running his fingers over the small nick-nacks that settled on his dresser, thinking of the future, of how pointless it was and the darkness that would curl in his heart and scream at him how meaningless it all was. When he first brought it up to Phil after a week of staying together it seemed as if the other viewed his night pacing not as a bothersome habit but comforting.

    Summary

    The thing is, Dan has never been calm.

    He can't remember a point in his life when he wasn't on the brink of panicking. His years have been spent in a whirlwind of pill cocktails crafted by exhausted doctors and a fed-up family, and not once has he had a moment of true, unwavering serenity.

    He meets Phil, and that still doesn't change.

    But it makes it a hell of a lot easier to live with.
