I LOVE THIS OH MY GOD

I LOVE THIS OH MY GOD

Concept: Pianoman and Atsushi are related.

Atsushi hadn’t only inherited his uncles looks, the bright white hair with singular black strands hidden among them.

But also his eye for detail.

There wasn’t a person alive who could tell one of Pianoman’s false notes from a real bill. No one that is apart from his darling nephew.

Atsushi had been tucked away in a corner of Old World to read a book in relative peace as the Flags played a game of snooker.

Pianoman was just handing Lippman his earnings for winning their match. Atsushi had looked up to watch and his innocent question as to why his uncle’s money looked weird stunned them all to silence.

All eyes were on him and Atsushi, unable to take the stares hid his face behind his book.

Afraid he’d done something wrong.

Atsushi’s keen eye was not the only surprise that day. For before Pianoman could reassure him that no he wasn’t in trouble at all, someone else got there first.

Chuuya who had been spectating (aka he wanted to play but was pretending he didn’t) had frowned and instantly shot over. He crouched down so he was Atsushi’s height but kept a fair distance between them.

“You’re right, it did look weird” agreed Chuuya. He knew just by looking at him that Atsushi was afraid to be singled out. He’d done something remarkable and it made him special.

And in his experience special wasn’t always considered a good thing. The hopeful look Atsusu sent him as he slowly lowered his book told him he wasn’t alone in that.

“What tipped you off?” Asked Chuuya carefully and was relieved when Atsushi hesitantly explained how the numbers were printed kinda off and the light hit in a different way.

All these minuscule details that Pianoman was all aware off but no one else had ever picked up on. And his nephew had figured that out from all the way over there.

He felt nothing but pride well up in his heart.

And Chuuya meeting Atsushi on his level and reassuring him he was safe to air out his feelings and thoughts.

These boys were going to be the death of him.

Or maybe Lippman would be first now he knew the money in his hand was indeed fake.
