Fine by me

It's fine by me, if we never leave

We can live like this forever ~

We remained in his room after he offered his sofa up to me. When we weren't talking I sat surveying his room, it would give me ideas of what to talk about. I carried on doing this until a certain black and white fender caught my eye. "So, you play guitar?" I questioned, knowing the answer would be yes but asking regardless. I mean, why else would his room be littered with different varieties of the same instrument. A smile spread across his face right away and his eyes lit up.

"Yeah, I love it. My dad taught me." He said as he approached the guitar I had in mind. He breathed a sigh of happiness as he gazed at it. It was quite beautiful to see someone so passionate about something. That must have been his escape from the world, much like comics or video games for me (which were also cluttering the area). "Fender telecaster." He said running his pale hands down the neck of the immaculate guitar. I smiled softly as I watched him carry it over to his bed where I was sitting. "Can you play?" He asked raising his eyebrows with intrigue.

"I can but I haven't in years and even then I was rusty." I said exhaling dramatically. A lazy grin played on his beautiful pink lips as he processed my reply.
"Do you want me to teach you?" He said sounding overly enthusiastic and excited about the prospect. Even if I didn't want him to (which I obviously did) I think it would have been almost impossible to refuse.
"That would be awesome." I replied eagerly. (Secretly I knew how to play guitar, pretty damn well actually but there was just something about him 'teaching ' me guitar that made me melt.) His smile grew wider as he now bared his teeth. He scooted over to me and our thighs were now touching. I immediately blushed at the contact. I wasn't usually the type to blush but I didn't know what it was about him but he just made my insides squirm. I couldn't have a crush on the blonde boy yet. I just find him highly attractive and who could blame me. In reality I barely knew him so I would have to repress my school boy crush until I could make a proper judgement. It sounds a little hypocritical of me seeing as though I'm a massive fuck up. Why should I have the right to judge anyone else? Anyway, back to the part where a really hot guy is touching me and teaching me guitar.
"Okay, so. What do you remember?" He asked, our faces now only centimetres away. He had a certain odour that was just to die for. A mixture of expensive cologne and flowers; it was wonderful. (A/N I can't describe scents to save my life as you can tell)
"Nothing." I lied quickly. The blonde didn't know any different so it was fine.

"I'll just teach you a few basic chords because I don't want you to get too bored." He said complimenting his words with a dry chuckle. He grabbed my embarrassingly pale hands from behind and placed them gently onto the  guitar frets. He was trying to show me a C chord. He stared at my hands with a look of content when he had finished putting them in position. "Okay so this is a C chord. With your other hand just strum up, down, up, down." And so I did. As I begun to play fluently moving from chord to chord, fret to fret, his jaw dropped slightly and his mouth was a jar. "Shit." I heard him mumble to himself. After I had played for a suitable amount of time I shot him a sickly smile and laughed nervously. "You are really fucking good." Luke remarked, a shocked expression still evident on his face. "Can you play any songs?" He asked me with genuine interest in his mellow voice.
"Only a couple. I write some stuff as well." I said looking down and fiddling with my finger nails. (Again I could actually play a shit tonne of songs but I didn't want to get cocky) Luke's face lit up yet again and the happiness radiated off him.
"Please show me your stuff." He begged
"Uhm I don't really like singing in front of people." I confessed diverting my eyes elsewhere.
"Awh please, Mikey, I'm sure you're great." He said with a whiney yet reassuring tone. He just called me Mikey though, I don't know how to take it. Is it weird or insanely adorable? I asked myself getting too caught up in amongst my own thoughts to reply. Once I snapped out of it I finally responded
"Ugh, fine but you're only getting one song...if that." All of the songs I've written were deadly emotional and I was afraid of scaring him away if he realised how broken and mental (to put it frankly) I was.  I chose a more light hearted song that I had written with Calum and Alex once upon a time.  I walked up to his wall and plucked off the first acoustic guitar I saw. Once checking if it had been tuned I begun.
"So we're taking the long way home. Take me back to the middle of no where, back to the place only you and I share. Remember all the memories, the fireflies and make believe. Kickin back in the old school yard, singing songs on our guitars. This is our reality, crazy stupid you and me. I know this is the way it's supposed to be."
As I took a long breath I looked up and him and saw him gazing in awe. It made me blush once again. What the fuck was wrong with me today?
"So we're taking the long way home cuz I don't wanna be wasting my time alone. I wanna get lost and drive forever with you, talking about nothing, yeah whatever babe. So we're taking the long way home tonight..." Even though the song was not yet over I decided to leave it there. When I stopped I locked eyes with him and he looked speechless which was a first for the whole evening.
"That was...beautiful. He said so softly and carefully. And guess what I fucking did?

I blushed.
