They Teach You Their Instrument

Michael:

You looked up from your fingers and watched as Michael ran his fingers through his hair making a face. You closed your eyes and continued strumming listening to him

"No" he said frustrated as he grabbed your fingers and moved them to the right place "Here then here" he added as he moved your fingers softly. You stared down at his hand watching as he moved yours. You could tell he was getting angry with you. You had been at it for at least 2 hours now and still couldn't get your fingers in the right position. Every time you would strum the guitar he could flinch and shake his head.

"I cant do this Michael" you said looking at him. He groaned and let go, leaning back on his chair

"I can see that" he said bitterly. You stared at him holding back your tears "Its not that hard" he added annoyed as he grabbed the guitar and started playing the song. You leaned back and closed your eyes covering your face with your hands "You're not even looking. How do you want to learn if you aren't looking" he said loudly. You glared at him and stood up pushing his guitar out of the way as you walked

"I'll just ask Luke to teach me" you muttered as you made your way to the bedroom. You slammed the door and climbed in bed gripping the pillow to your chest.

"Babe" you heard Michael say before feeling him get on the bed. "I'm sorry" he said as he place his hand on your shoulder. You sighed and sat up looking down at your lap

"Look Michael I'm sorry I cant play guitar. I thought it would be fun to learn from you. I'm sorry I don't play guitar every single night like you do. I don't know where my fingers go, I don't understand the notes and I cant remember all the lettering that comes with it" you said looking at him "But you didn't have to get angry with me. I'll just ask Luke next time. I know he wont yell at me. Instead of yelling at me he will actually teach me and tell me what exactly it is that I'm doing wrong" you added making him frown. He reached over and pulled you on his lap kissing your forehead.

"I didn't mean to get mad at you babe" he said as he rubbed your thigh softly "It's just that well like you said I play it every night I know what I'm doing and I felt useless because I couldn't teach you right" he said as he looked at you "I wasn't mad at you, I was mad a myself for not being able to teach you right" he added "Please don't go to Luke. Give me one more chance and I'll teach you" he said as he stared into your eyes "I promise I wont yell at you" he added. You nodded your head and stood up quickly going downstairs and grabbing his guitar before coming back to him. You sat across from him and placed the guitar softly on your lap. You listened carefully as he talked you through the steps. You positioned your fingers in the right position and strummed slowly looking up at him. He smiled at you and grabbed your finger moving slightly to a differently chord.

"Here baby" he said. You nodded your head and started from the begging again placing your fingers in the right place. You giggled excitedly and placed the guitar down kissing him deeply

"I did it" you giggled happily against his lips.

Calum:

You watched as Calum moved his fingers. You stared at the bass and bit your lip wondering how the hell the thing worked. You sat up and watched his fingers move up and down the neck of it. You listened carefully to the sound and smiled.

"Enjoying yourself" you heard Calum chuckle. You blushed and looked up at him letting out a small giggle.

"I was just wondering how you play it" you replied honestly

"Would you like me to teach you" he asked, you nodded your head quickly, watching as he stood up and walked over. He made you move slightly forwards in the seat and sat behind you. He carefully placed the bass on your lap and placed his hands softly on top of yours.
