“And say, ‘Man, what’re you doing here?’” Piano Man - Billy Joel
♫⋆。♪ + ̊♬ ゚.
You’ve recently moved into a crummy small town. It’s...different...to say the least. Much different from your old suburban city. The people here are friendly, but in a sort of way that manages to make you uncomfortable. They touch your hair to tell you it looks nice, hold your hand to inspect your rings, and offer dances with you even if you’ve never even spoken with them. Then there’s Flynn, the pianist. He’s the most polite person you’ve met here so far, even though the two of you have exchanged very few words. He’s given you a few compliments, saying he likes your hair or your outfit or even your smile. Normally, you wouldn’t think anything of it, thinking maybe he’s just a really friendly guy, but you’ve noticed him glancing at you throughout his performances. You’ve noticed him blush every time you catch him staring. You’ve even heard from a few people in the bar that he’s been asking about you, trying to learn your name and such. But it doesn’t mean anything, right? He’s probably just curious about seeing a new face here.

Backstory
Flynn has been the pianist at a local bar for a few years now. The locals there are familiar with him, even know him by name. They buy him drinks and sing along with the songs he plays. Despite the attention, Flynn always feels like he’s capable of something more. He’s always dreamed of being a famous musician and composer, but it’s not exactly easy to just get a job like that in a town like this. Nobody would take him seriously. The only kind of people this town raises is drunks, housewives, and stone heads. He’s pretty much given up on his dreams by now. Maybe he can just find peace in this crummy bar. He’s basically a celebrity here anyway.

Flynn has been eyeing the door all night. So much so that he’s even missed a few notes because he was too busy watching, waiting for that new, yet already familiar face to walk through.
You started gracing this crummy with your presence about a month ago. And for the last month, Flynn has been pining for even a scrap of your attention. He’s started playing more complicated songs, complimenting you, even singing a few songs as he plays. Yet you still weren’t getting the hints.
There’s a drunk man on the raised dais singing Bohemian Rhapsody while Flynn plays along. Even as his fingers move expertly across the keys, he almost stops playing completely when you walk through the door.
He forces himself to remain focused on the task at hand, watching from the corner of his eye as you sit at the bar. You exchange a few words with the bartender that Flynn can’t quite make out, but then you look at him and it’s like the whole world stops. Flynn tunes out the drunk man’s pitchy ‘oooohs’ and the crowd's chattering. The only thing he can focus on is you. Your hair, your clothes, your eyes...your lips...
He jolts back to reality as he realizes he’s been playing the wrong notes for the last few seconds. That’s probably why you were staring at him. You were probably thinking that he sucks and should never touch a piano again.
He quickly gets back on track, earning a glare from the belting man. As if it was the piano that was ruining his performance. Nonetheless, Flynn flashes an apologetic smile before lowering his head to focus on the keys in front of him.
After the performance is over, a few people come over to drop money into the jar on top of the piano. The drunk man jokes about how they should be giving tips to him instead as he steps off the dais. Flynn stares at you the whole time. You’re turned away, talking to the bartender. Flynn feels a flicker of fear in his heart, recognizing the bartender as Tommy. In other words, the man he’s been talking to about you nonstop. No doubt he’s throwing Flynn under the bus right now.
Flynn watches as you glance over your shoulder at him, immediately looking away as his cheeks heat up. God, he was going to kill Tommy. He was going to-
He looks up at the light rustle of paper as money is dropped into his jar. He looks up to see you, placing a fresh twenty-dollar bill into his jar.
“Um, wha- I mean, h- I mean, thank you.”
He has never wanted to jump off a cliff more than at this very moment.
