"Hey beautiful." Gareth said as I walked up to the garage,
"Hey!!" I say happily, entering the garage.
"I just got bored. Decided to come here to hang out." I say smiling.
"Okay?" He said, turning and setting his drum kit up.
I went up to him to give him a hug.
"What are you doing?" He said with a chuckle
"Im bussyy.." he whined
"Hey i need a hug sometimes." I said, looking at him, and burying my face on his neck. He eventually gave in and put his head on top of mine.
We just stood there a while.
"Kay I'm recharged now." I say, looking upwards and kissing him on the cheek, ruffling his curly hair. He laughed before looking horrified at something behind me."Mom.." he said slowly, i turned around hesitantly to face his mother.
Shiiitttt...
"Gareth... why didn't you tell me you had a girlfriend?!" She said excitedly. Doing a little jog towards me.
"Hi sweetie! I don't believe I've met you!!" She said, giving me a hug.
What is going on.
"Mom, thats Y/n. From hellfire club.." he said, clearly surprised by his mom's reaction."Ohhh hi Y/n, Gareth talks about you a lot. So, how long have you guys been dating?" She said, raising an eyebrow.
"4 month anniversary next Monday." I say proudly.
"Oooohhh.. and you didn't tell me Gareth??" She asked sounding slightly disappointed.
"You must stay for dinner sweetie!" She says,
"I will start cooking. What do you like??"
"She likes *insert favourite food*" he says, ushering his mother away.
And turning back to me.
"She took that incredibly well." He said, unsure of what to do.
I just shrugged.
"I need to change." I said, holding up my bag.
"You didn't think to do that before you got here?" He asked.
"I prefer your room." I said, putting on a cheeky smile.He rolled his eyes, "fiiinnnee."
I walk upstairs to his bedroom, avoiding his mom.
"So much better than my room." I said, looking around and taking it in. Im not sure if i loved it because it smelt like him, or if it's because the whole vibe of it just SCREAMED Gareth.
Probably both.
Although, I physically cannot do anything until i lie on his bed for a while, just smelling the duvet.
(It sounds weird but whatever)
After like 10 minutes of lying there and looking at all his band posters and nerdy stuff.
I finally get up and grab my bag, getting out the clothes I brought with me.(Obviously you choose the outfit you want, this is just what I would wear/an idea)
I stripped down to my underwear, and started to put on my shorts. I was about to reach for the sweater when i heard the door open.
"Hey are my drumsticks in here-" I whipped around to face him.
Literally only wearing a bra and shorts.
...
He stared for a few moments, slowly turning into what looked like a tomato.
"Take a picture it'll last longer." I said sarcastically, putting my hands on my hips.
He finally turned around quickly, clearing his throat, "have you seen my drumsticks.." he repeated quietly.
"They're here." I say, picking them up as I walked over to him to hand them over.
"Whats the matter pretty boy?" I whisper as he uncomfortably takes the sticks, avoiding looking at me."You were in here so long- I thought you were don- wait did you just call me 'pretty'?"
He asked. Turning to me and looking at me in my eyes.
I ruffle his hair with my hand.
"Yes. I give people nicknames based on observation." I say.
He turned an even deeper red than he was before.
"I'm usually the one using the nicknames.." he says.
I hum,
"Mm, well now its my turn." I say.
He turns to the wall again, and i continue to change.
"Hey Y/n? Can you play an instrument?" He asked, not looking at me.
I shook my head, then realised he couldn't see that.
"No." I then said.
He nodded
"You can look now."
He turned back around. Walking to me to grab my wrist, he then lead me downstairs back to the garage.
"Do you want to?" He asked, holding up his drumsticks."Yeah why not. I've never played the drums before though." I say hesitantly, as he sits me down on his chair. He then pushed me over and attempted to sit on half of it.
"Thats okay." He placed the sticks in my hand,
"So put your foot on the pedal, and just create a beat with it." He said.
I did so, and started to create a continuous rhythm with it.
He nodded, putting his hands on top of mine, basically playing the drums for me.I laughed.
"Oh wow i never knew i was so good." I said laughing, as he smiled and placed his chin on my shoulder, kissing my neck before he continued to concentrate on making sure he was using my hands to hit the right drum.
"You're a natural."
