Summary: Whoo, I managed a short thing. Peace and music, and a tiny bit of Peace's brother.

Comments, criticism, and questions are all appreciated.


Staccato notes filtered through the wall, past the cheap headphones Peter's Mom had bought. He pressed his fingers to his temples, trying to focus on his social studies homework. Joseph swore he wasn't that loud, but the volume wasn't as bad as the horrible brassy screeching. And Mom wouldn't stop him because apparently band counted as homework.

His brother almost made him hate music. He definitely hated trumpets, forever.

The worst thing Peace had to give up when he went on the run was his guitar. It was the only material thing he really missed. After Philadelphia, he got a new one, and an acoustic too, to maybe learn jazz guitar and expand his horizons.

Lance sent him a playlist when he found out. Peace was disappointed he couldn't quite do with a guitar what some people could with a saxophone. If he could somehow fuse Coltrane with Megadeth, it would be damn near perfect.

Peace D: and poor Peter. I hope he managed to get a better set of headphones.

I'm sure he did eventually. If nothing else, Peace is like five or six years older than he is so by the time Peace hits eighth grade band there are only so many years to go before he moves out.

(Of course then, well, other stuff happens, but happy thoughts la la.) Thanks for reading!

"He definitely hated trumpets, forever."

Reminds me of how my wife feels about the oboe. XD

[greenling]

Hah. Thin walls. I imagine something like an oboe carries pretty far, too.

Thanks for reading!

Hee, poor Peter. But I'm definitely feeling Peace here.

Some people have... needs. At least no one ever has let Peace near an alto sax.

Thanks for reading!
