Learn to draw (TenRen)

"Hello everyone, welcome to learning to draw. My name is Ten. I hope you are all enjoying your summer off?" The kids nod happily making him smile.
"Ok we are going to make a series of shapes first, then we will turn them into an actual character. Are you all ready to start?" He gets a collective yes from around the room but frowns when he sees the person in the back.
"Uh, hold on kids." He says as he walks over to them.
"Excuse me? Can you come outside with me?" They frown but get up and follow him anyway.

"I'm sorry, but I think you have the wrong class. This class is for third through sixth graders, you have to be at least?" He questions.
"Twenty four." He says proudly.
"Ok but this class is for kids only, you will have to find a class for adults." They put their head down.
"Oh, I heard you guys draw moomin and he's my most favorite character ever. I just wanted to learn how to draw him." He says sadly.
"I'm sorry." Ten says with a frown.
He watches him go to collect his things with the saddest pout he has ever seen.

"I'm sorry for wasting your time." He says as he walks past him.
"Wait. What's your name?" He looks back, still pouting.
"Renjun, Huang Renjun." Ten purses his lips.
"You can stay, I'll make an exception this time. Welcome to my class Renjun." He smiles brightly and leans up and kisses his cheek, startling him.
"Thank you so much." He sits quickly and pulls out his sketchbook and waits patiently. Ten shakes his head with a fond smile. He has to be the cutest person to exist.

The first day they learn to perfect shapes. Circles, squares, ovals and more. They are given homework to practice this until their next class.
Renjun does so with much enthusiasm. He's always loved to draw and when he heard who the teacher was for this class he just had to join. He's always loved his works. He's a local artist that mostly does abstract but being that he doesn't make a lot of money from his art yet, he agreed to teach this class.

By the third class Ten starts to question why he's even there. His drawing is impeccable and he seems a lot more advanced than he has let on.
"Renjun? Can you stay after today?" He asks as the parents start to pour in to pick up their kids. He frowns, afraid today is the day he will be kicked out. After everyone leaves he walks up front to the small desk Ten is sitting at.
"You wanted to see me?" He asks nervously playing with the seam of his shirt.

"Can you tell me again why you joined? Your drawing is too good to be at this level, so what's the real reason?" Renjun looks down sadly. He's been caught.
"I heard you were teaching and I love your art so much, I've bought three of your paintings already and I just wanted to be near you. To be in your presence, because you are so great." Ten smiles softly.
"Thank you, that means a lot coming from an artist like yourself." Renjun looks up with red cheeks.
"Would you like to tour my studio some time?" Ten asks making him gasp in surprise.
"Oh my god, yes, I would love that so much." He nods with a smile and hands him a card with his address.
"Come any time." Renjun nods with a face splitting smile.
"Thank you." He says before going to his desk and collecting his things.

It's been three days and Renjun has finally worked up the courage to go there. He rings the bell and waits nervously. When Ten opens the door he's standing there shirtless with paint all over him. Renjun blushes.
"Hi, come in." Ten says sporting a huge grin.
"Thank you." Renjun whispers as he looks everywhere but his direction.
"I'm sorry, does this bother you? It was starting to get hot in here, my landlord has yet to fix my air conditioning." He says with a frown.
"No, it's ok. You look good, I mean you look nice. No, uh, comfortable." He stumbles out making Ten giggle.
"You are too cute." He says as he takes his hand and pulls him through the door.

I'm just finishing a piece, would you like to watch?" Renjun nods enthusiastically.
"I'd be honored." Ten chuckles.
"Sit, anywhere." He gestures around. Renjun notices a big bean bag chair and sits down.
He watches intently as Ten delicately adds different colors to the piece. He's in awe, not only of his painting but his beauty as well.
"Shit, it is really hot in here." He says suddenly making Ten giggle again.
"You are too much of a cutie to swear." Renjun laughs.
"I don't know how you work in this fucking heat?" He asks watching Ten turn around with literal shock on his face.
"I seriously never would have thought you would have such a dirty mouth." He says as he watches Renjun struggling to use his hand to fan his face.
