[GG | Spin-Off] Linus

Sooo ... who is Linus?

Here is an older pic of Linus and Piet:

STORY

When Piet is in his mid-twenties and lives his pianist career to its fullest, he discovers this crazily talented 12 years old kid playing piano on Youtube. He sees his potential and wants to help him someway to shape his rawness. Piet struggles with the idea to teach him because he doesn't have the time and has no experience in teaching (and Linus' parents couldn't afford it). But they find a way and Linus becomes his student.

Piet is very strict and expects Linus to work hard. But he sometimes forgets that Linus is just a kid and was just playing around making music before he met Piet. Their relationship gets tense from time to time. Linus has a feisty attitude and often acts rebellious which drives Piet nuts. (kind of reminds him of good old times with Tim, too)

When Piet takes two or three more students in over the next years, Linus gets jealous. He sees his special friendship/mentorship with Piet in danger.

As Linus gets older, he develops another kind of interest in his mentor. Piet too isn't invulnarable to Linus' flirty charme.

But when they kiss for the first time, Piet rejects him. Linus doesn't understand why Piet is so hesistant. Is it the age gap? Does Piet love someone else?

Translation:
Linus: I can't find them, Mr. Maiberg! Where should they be?
Piet: In a box ... wait, I'm coming downstairs in a sec.

FUN FACT: I always imagined Linus to use the formal term with Piet ("Mr. Maiberg") because I thought Piet would be older when they first meet. But since Piet is younger now, Linus will use his first name casually, but will still use formal speech in public sometimes which makes them crack up later. I love it, haha. (Same as when Phil calles Satoshi "professor" in the beginning even though they're having some sort of physical relationship going on.)


That was a long post.
