Everest
His mother's birthday was coming up, and as a gift for her, Ever and his father were going to play her a duet. Only...that meant he couldn't exactly practice at home. So, telling his mother he was going to go study with Mateo, Ever stealthily (Tobi absolutely noticed him, the boy was not stealthy for shit) grabbed his guitar and escaped out into the plaza. Settling beneath a tree that provided ample shade (he didn't want to burn of course), Ever pulled out the music that Finn had written and studied his part with diligent blue eyes before flicking open his case and plopping his guitar into his lap.
The instrument was too big for him and his hands were still too small to really be able to master it, but he'd developed callouses enough that he could play for almost an hour now without getting sore. And, despite everything Finn had told him about how good he was getting, Ever knew that when it came to his mother, she'd adore anything that they did.
Not unlike Finn (or perhaps precisely because of Finn), once Ever started to play he lost himself entirely in his music. His fingers were clunky and the chords didn't always come out quite right as keeping all the strings depressed was difficult, but there was something childishly sweet about the melody he coaxed from the guitar just the same.
