You ran into your room, relieved the school day was finally over, and walked over to your keyboard. Your mom was out running errands, so you had the whole place completely to yourself.
You began to play the chords for Say Something by A Great Big World. You were halfway through the first verse, when you heard a tap on your window. You glanced up to see Raph leaned against the fire escape ladder. You opened the window, puzzled.
"How do you know where I live?" you asked.
"Followed you home from school," Raph said casually, "I was out on patrol and saw you come out."
"Well, that's not creepy at all," you stated, making him roll his eyes. You sat back down to your keyboard, fingering the keys of each chord, playing them individually.
"You can play piano?" he inquired, walking up behind you.
"Learned when I was 10," you replied, "Now I just get music off Youtube and play it."
You looked up at him, studying the keys. You got an idea. "Wanna learn afew chords?"
You thought Raph would instantly refused, but he just shrugged, and said, "Okay."
You patted the bench next to you and he hesitantly sat down. "Alright," you began, readying your hands, "First you play the B and F flat on the left hand-" you played the chord, "-and then you play the D an octave higher continuously," you played the chord while hitting the other note with your right hand.
Raph looked at you, confused, and you smirked and took his left hand, placing his fingers on the keys, then taking his other hand and doing the same. "Now, play."
Raph hit the notes, completing the first chord. He smiled faintly, and you saw... was that redness on his face?
You turned away, feeling your own cheeks heating up, and demonstrated the next chord. You two continued playing, until you were satisfied with Raph's knowledge of the notes.
"Okay," you stated, "Now try and play it with me. I'll play the harmony, you play the melody."
Raph raised a 'brow', but put his hands into position. You both began to play the notes, and at the cue, you began to sing softly.
"Say something, I'm giving up on you. I'll be the one, if you want me to. Anywhere, I would've followed you. Say something I'm giving up on you," you chirped, and you felt Raph's eyes on you, but continued.
"And I, am feeling so small. It was over my head, I know nothing at all. And I, will stumble and fall, I'm still learning to love, just starting to crawl."
You began to put all of your weight into the keys, making them resonate loudly around the room. Raph picked up on what you were doing and followed suit.
You finished out the song, pressing softly on the last note in perfect harmony with Raph. You smiled at him. "Thanks for practicing with me."
Raph rolled his eyes, smirking and getting up. He pulled out a comic book and sat in your desk chair, beginning to read, but he glanced up at you momentarily. "Thanks for teaching me," he muttered, before turning his full attention back to his comic.

So... tired... must go... to sleep...
Raph: *trying to keep me awake* Annabeth! You have to sign off! C'mon, you big lazy bones!
Me: *yawns and falls asleep*
Mikey: *walks in to see me sleeping * *in whisper* why'd you let her fall asleep?! Someone must sign off!
Raph: you do it then!
Mikey: no, I already did it! You have to do it!
Raph: *rolls eyes* fine. *muttering* bye, *cough cough* Annabeth's lovelies *cough cough*
