A/N: Pls play the song at the top (I See Fire, by Ed Sheeran) when indicated in the story. Thx :D

Your POV

You sat down in front of your keyboard, preparing to play. Today had been kinda stressful, and whenever you were stressed, depressed, or otherwise, you always poured your emotions out into your music.

You fiddled around with the settings for a while, finally selecting a violin sound, and began playing one of your favorite songs at the moment. It was I See Fire by Ed Sheeran, with had immediately captured your heart the first time you had heard it in the theater during the second Hobbit film. You played the intro to the song and then launched into the lyrics.

(PLAY SONG)

Oh, misty eye of the mountain below...
Keep careful watch over my brother's souls
And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke...
Keep watching over Durin's sons

You stopped as you heard someone behind you. Turning, you saw your boyfriend Mark standing behind you, smiling like an idiot and holding up his guitar. "Can I join?" he asked.

"Do you know how to play the song?" you asked him.

"Of course!" Mark scoffed. "I love the Hobbit movies."

You nodded. "Ok, I'll start over."

Mark stopped you. "No, it's ok, keep going," he urged.
You shrugged and picked up where you left off.

If this is to end in fire, then we should all burn together
Watch the flames climb high, into the night
Calling out father, oh, stand by and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side...

Mark and your voices combined as you both sang the lyrics perfectly. He strummed a few more chords, and you played a few more notes, singing along as you went.

Mark's POV

Y/N was such a good musician. I loved playing with her whenever I could. We hadn't for a while because the gang and I had been so busy lately with filming A Date with Markiplier, but now I was determined to make up for lost time.

Now I wasn't even looking at my fingers as they played. I was staring at Y/N. She was so into the music, leaning back and forth to the beat and really getting immersed in singing. Her voice rang out clear and strong, ringing with every syllable.

Geez, I freaking love you, Y/N.

I tore my eyes away from her as I figured out a couple more chords on the strings. I quickly reached up and brushed hair out of my eyes, immediately rushing my hands back to their position on the guitar just in time for the chorus.

Now I see fire, inside the mountain
I see fire, burning the trees,
And I see fire, hollowing souls,
I see fire, blood in the breeze
And I hope that you'll remember me

Now Y/N had a solo. She leaned into the keys, eyes closed as she enjoyed the sound. She had changed the sound to violin, so it sounded a lot like it did in the recorded song. I loved it so much.

I then had to pay more attention to my own playing. I had forgotten a few chords, so I had to improvise. The sound of the keyboard and the guitar fit together almost completely perfectly. We continued singing the lyrics softly up to the chorus, when we strengthened the sound on both instruments and voices.

Now I see fire, inside the mountain
I see fire, burning the trees,
And I see fire, hollowing souls,
I see fire, blood in the breeze
And I hope that you'll remember me

I emphasized my strumming as we sang the bridge:

And if the night is burning
I will cover my eyes,
For if the dark returns then my
Brothers will die
And as the sky is falling down
It crashed into this lonely town
And with that shadow upon the ground
I hear my people screaming out...

For the last chorus, our voices reached their full capacity.

Now I see fire, inside the mountain
I see fire, burning the trees,
And I see fire, hollowing souls,
I see fire, blood in the breeze

(A/N: Mark: Bold, Y/N: italics)

I see fire... Oh, you know I saw a city burning! ...fire!
And I see fire... feel the heat upon my skin! ...fire!
And I see fire... oooooh! ...fire!
And I see fire burn auburn on the mountain side!

The song ended, and Y/N turned to me. "I forgot how fun that was!" she exclaimed. "We need to do this again soon."

"Yeah," I agreed, "but until then, what do we do?"

There was a moment of silence, then I said, "You thinkin what I'm thinkin?"
"Oh, yeah," Y/N nodded.

"Hobbit marathon!" we both yelled at the same time. We giggled, then set our music aside and headed downstairs.
