Guitar lessons

Your POV: "Now put your hands here, yeah like that!" Will says to me with a small smile. He's teaching me to play the guitar, well trying to anyway. I've wanted to learn for years but never had the confidence, though when Will offered so sweetly to teach me I just couldn't say no, so now we're currently sitting on the floor of this flat, he's opposite to me and is trying to get my hands into the correct shapes so that I can at least strum.

He came with me to guitar shop and helped me choose one, because I had no idea what I was looking for.

I ended up getting a (half size because I'm pretty small) cute light brown one. I have this strange obsession with naming things, so of course I had to name it! I decided on 'Tom,' I don't really know why but it just seemed to fit. I'm planning on maybe painting a small symbol on it (kinda like Ed has the paw print, + and x on his) but I'm not sure quite yet, anyway back to the present.

I keep 'strumming' but my fingers just won't seem to cooperate, causing it to emit sounds that are honestly pretty horrible, nothing like the magical ones that Will can do, I don't think I could ever be that good, no matter how much I practise, he makes it look so effortless, and, for me at least, it's anything but. I've been sitting here with him for while and I'm sure I'm not getting any better, it's so frustrating! I'm pretty much ready to give up, I'm done, Will, it's too hard! I'm just not good enough, I never will be! You make it look so easy but I just can't do anything even a millionth as good, how did you get so amazing at it?? I question feeling stressed and upset about the whole thing, I'm a perfectionist so things like this can really scare and stress me, especially if I can't master it quickly. "Look, love, I know how you're feeling, I felt exactly the same when I first tried to learn, it's pretty overwhelming isn't it? You think you'll never get any good, right? But trust me, if you keep practising, even just a tiny bit every day, before you know it you'll be great, I promise you. But I think we've done enough for today, so let's cuddle instead, sound good?" He replies in his amazing accent, I could listen to it for hours! It's so calming and almost immediately I feel myself calming down. I guess he's right, plus if he felt the same and ended up being totally awesome at it then there might still be hope for me. I tell myself, being more positive than usual.

We're now lying on a, too small, couch, though I don't really care, because it mean I'm pressed up really close to Will and I can hear his heartbeat. The place is almost completely silent and I feel peaceful, Will is really important to me and I don't want to ever lose him. As if reading my mind he cuddles me in even closer, if that's possible, and quietly whispers in my ear "I love you."

*AN* this one is pretty short but sweet, I hope you like it. I'm noticing that I've got a few silent readers, feel free to comment or vote, I'd love that! x
