(Garroth's POV)

I'm awoken from my afternoon nap to the sound of the piano being played downstairs.
I groan as I reach over to grab my phone seeing it's 4 P.M. I get up out of bed and quietly walk down the stairs to see my bestfriend, Laurance playing the piano. I watch in awe from the bottom of the stairs as I hear him sing along as he plays 'This Town'. I watch his hands move gracefully across the keyboard. I'm just starstruck. I've never heard him sing before, he's insecure about his voice. And now that I've heard it for the first time, it's the most beautiful thing ever. I contemplate recording him, but he's almost done anyway. I continue staring at him, just completely starstruck. His neck-lengthed hair pulled in a small, but low ponytail, the short pieces framing his face, the little hoop piercings on his ears, the classic navy blue and white striped hoodie, the little tattoo of a fern on his wrist.
If you're wondering, yes I have a crush on him. How could I not?
"Everything comes back to you
Everything comes back to you" I snap out of my thoughts as I hear him stop.
I watch as he stretches his hands and then stands up, freezing in place when he sees me.
I couldn't help but smile, seeing him standing there with his face all red.
"H-How long have you been standing there?!"
"Not long" I reply, walking over to the cookie jar, grabbing a cookie.
"Garroth... you know how insecure I am about this!" he whines as he puts on a pouty face
"Relax Laur, I only heard the ending chorus" I assure him
"But you still heard me!" He continues whining
"It's okay, Laur. I didn't record you"
I hear him sigh in relief
"There's been other times though" I joke
He growls at me as he crosses his arms
"I'm kidding!" I tell him, chuckling
"But to be honest Laur, what you just did there, was really beautiful" I tell him, pointing at the piano
I watch as his face turns a light shade of red as he sits back down on the piano; playing 'This Town' again.
"Can you teach me?" I ask him
He stops playing and faces me, hesitating before he nods
I form a big smile on my face as I walk over, sitting on the piano bench next to Laurance.
I watch as he places his hands on mine guiding them along with his as he teaches me how to play the song.
"There you go! Now you're getting the hang of it"
"Laurance, can you please sing?" I ask looking him in the eyes
"You're not gonna leave me alone until I do it huh?"
I shake my head no.
"Fine..." he says, letting out a sigh
"If the whole world was watching I'd still dance with you
Drive highways and byways to be there with you
Over and over the only truth
Everything comes back to you
You still make me nervous when you walk in the room
Them butterflies they come alive when I'm next to you"
He continues singing as he guides my hands along the keyboard.
"Over and over the only truth
Everything comes back to you
Everything comes back to you" he finishes as he let's go of my hands
"You wanna try on your own?"
I nod in response as I place my hands in the right spot and start playing, and it's surprisingly going well.
I feel Laurance rest his head on my shoulder. I'm used to it by now, his love language is physical touch after all.
"You're a fast learner" he comments, yawning
I giggle a bit as I keep playing, humming along.
After a minute or two I hear soft snoring, I look to my left to see Laurance fast asleep on my shoulder.
I let out a small chuckle as I stop playing. I pick up Laurance, carrying him bridal style over to the couch; I then sit down, setting his head on my lap (with a pillow underneath) and putting his favorite brown blanket over him. I rest my head back as I fall into a deep sleep.
