Prose

Summary:

Just some twosetviolin inspired poetry because I'm an absolute sucker for their friendship and it always blows my mind how two people can be so perfect for each other platonically or otherwise.

Chapter 1: TwoSet

Notes:

November 11 2020 // Platonic

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text


Look at them
Soft looks in bright eyes
Shared smiles, raucous laughter
And violin playing


They've traveled the world together
Bought bubble tea, played duets, performed all over
"Two dudes that didn't practice enough"
Serious about music but not themselves


Together
Doesn't it make you ache?
Together
For 14 years and counting
Together


Bow and violin
Parts in a piece
Milk tea and pearls
Matching socks


TwoSet


 

Notes:

They really changed my view on friendship you know? They built a dream together, they lived together, worked together, they did almost everything together. It just gives such an ache in my chest for something like theirs, but man that's a lot of effort too. Believing in themselves, sticking through everything. Frick ima be writing another one very soon probably bc I think too much about them. I didn't know I can fall in love with strangers this much.

Chapter 2: Touches

Summary:

Intimate touches

November 12 2020 // Platonic

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

 

Weight pressed on him, a chin rests on his shoulder
Acne-dotted face close, in his space
As it should be


"Our fingers our touching!"
They cringe, conscious of the closeness, two hands on one violin, two awkward hands on one bow
Portraying something wrong


Intimacy isn't like that


They pass off instruments to one another
Slight infinitesimally small grazes
It doesn't send fire, or tingling electricity


It feels like home
Warmth spreading from finger to finger
Bumping feet
"Our toes love each other"


Arms pressed together
Soft hair resting on his shoulder, asleep
Mouth slightly open, probably drooling
He sleeps

Notes:

Physical affection is my weakness. Anyways, the way they brush hands in some videos? Yes. The way they really did Sophie oui oui dirty in Germany and really held each others shoulder while Sophie was in between them? Yes. Them holding hands in the Two Boys One Violin video as if it was so natural, even if only for a moment? Edwina petting Brett while Brett twirled the wig with his fingers for one of their shows? Them waltzing and Eddy unnecessarily putting his hand under Brett's flannel? Their very emotional hug when they got the 50k kickstarter goal? Them on a bench with their arms on each other's shoulder in the why musicians are happier video? I could go on and on and on about how I'm a damn sucker. See you next time I'm filled with an overwhelming ache once again.

Chapter 3: Hand Size

Summary:

growth

November 14 2020 // Platonic

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

I press my hand to yours
Comparing the size
Like all musicians do


And I wonder
When did you grow this much?
Now I'm smaller than you


But that's fine, of course
That doesn't matter
We're always equal anyways


All that matters
Is we're in this together
Til the end of our days

Notes:

very short, sometimes the words just doesn't flow as well as I want them to but i like to share what i had anyways
i like their dynamic like a lot if you haven't noticed already. And i guess rn it's easier for me to write this in Brett's pov bc im the older (and shorter) between me and my best friend too
but ya, hope you like

Chapter 4: Amazing

Summary:

just the development of everything i guess

November 14 2020 // Platonic

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

Isn't it amazing?
We met in maths tutoring, and though
we're tired of telling the story


It's amazing
We both play violin, and then
eventually went to university


And then just because we were bored
And we had a dream to share with the world


We made TwoSet Violin
And we made covers
Then we made skits and all sorts of videos


Now we got merch, and memes, and lots of people
Partaking in this dream that we shared


It's amazing

Notes:

I had a bit of a melody playing in my head while writing this, but it's kinda choppy and incomplete and im not very good at making words flow without rhyme yet bc i like rhyming. but yea im always always in awe of how things developed. if they didn't talk to each other in that maths tutoring class, if they didn't meet again the next day... if they deviated with maybe just one or two different actions, there may be no twosetviolin today. What if Eddy didn't go against his mom and ended up being a doctor or what if they didn't go through with the crazy idea of the kickstarter? i have way too many feelings i cant put into words dammit im just word vomiting here now.. hope ya like
Also frick my fingers are getting so cold

Chapter 5: kickstarter

Summary:

their busking kickstarter for the world tour

November 14 2020 // Platonic

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

We take to busk in the streets
To fuel this dream to go around the world
And it's tiring and it's scary and I'm hungry
But you're there right beside me


So we play endlessly everyday
Our fans donate to our cause
And within 5 days
We reached our goal of 50k


Can you believe it?
I couldn't believe it


"I love you Eddy"--


"I love you, too"

Notes:

If you haven't seen that pretty emotional video of them hitting 50k, Eddy going to hug Brett, Brett patting Eddy and telling him I love you as Eddy sobs and says I love you back, idk what to tell you honestly. I wasn't yet a fan in 2017, no idea what I was doing but it was middle school and I haven't discovered them but they were going through such a big milestone. It's mind-blowing and I can't possibly put into words how they felt at that time bc it was surely overwhelming but man. I swear everything they do makes me emotional somehow. They could just look and grin at each other and I'd be like oh, oh my,, frI,ck my hEart
Hope you enjoy the triple update and just me being emotional in the end chapter notes, as one does

Chapter 6: do you understand?

Summary:

inspired by tsvtwt's commentary on eddy's loving looks, guess i'm also doing lapslock

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

 

i look at you and wonder, " do you understand? "

i love your smile; oh so bright and glowing,
i feel like I'm on top of the world when you smile bc of me.
it brings me warmth, and i smile back.
do you understand?

i love your nose; deserving of so many boops.
i said it before, you look just like a greek god.
i wish i can make a statue of you, but my hands aren't made for chiseling marble.
these callouses are made for strings on the violin, singing from right beside you.
can you hear me?

i love your eyes; your eyesight had always been bad,
i barely ever see you without glasses.
i see myself in them when i look at you and you look back at me,
and i wonder: can you see me clearly, like i see you?

i love your everything, really.
i love your passion for music, your determination,
your will to prove everyone wrong.
your persistence, your presence, people can't help but look.
i can't help but look.
you're unstoppable, independent.

and yet you're soft.
you play violin for kangaroos in the zoo,
take me out for bbt when i'm down, fuss over me when i get stressed.
you know me, and you understand me.

so i'll stay here with you, for as long as you need me to.
i'll take care of you, if you would let me.
i'll crack the dumbest dad jokes, i'll take care of the finances,
i'll bring you bbt.

 

do you understand?
can you see it in my eyes?

 

i love you.

Chapter 7: ablaze

Summary:

It's alright to take a break

December 12 2020 // Romantic

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

Come here, my love, crawl into my arms
You've done so much for this, for us
You set yourself ablaze in your passion,
Walking through the fire as though untouched


You're amazing, you know that?
Brazen and bold, always pushing through
But love, you're not invulnerable,
You're not indestructible, though you wish


I'm sorry I couldn't see you right away
You're too good at this, at being strong
You're too good at hiding, and I think it's time
Let me be strong for the both of us now


My love, come here, and let the steam off
You're safe here in my arms, let yourself rest
Allow yourself to be extinguished and your bruises be tended to
Allow me to hold you, it's alright to rest


Don't let yourself burn out in your blazing fire
Don't run your fuel too fast too early
Take your time to collect yourself
Let's take our time to collect ourselves


And when you've once again found your spark
And when you have enough fuel to raise the temperature
Let yourself burn, dance in our passion
Let there be light, let it be ablaze

Notes:

Thank god they finally decided to take a break, I couldn't believe they hadn't taken an actual break for five years, they really deserved it. It's good to take a break guys!!! Can't give your all if you're empty, take care of yourselves. Drink water, get a proper amount of sleep, always eat something! Even something small like crackers or little fruits! Let your body rest, it's trying its best to keep you alive. Hope y'all are well <3
(and yeah the advice applies to myself as well hehe)
