"Hey..." Quentin poked Tyler Jordan's leg with his toes and Tyler Jordan captured his foot, looking over at him with a smile. "Have you ever taught someone to play an instrument?"
"Sort of," Tyler Jordan said, "I mean, Wendy already knew how to sight-read music but yeah, I taught her how to play piano when she was in high school."
"Could you teach me?"
"You want to learn how to play piano?"
"No. I want to learn how to play guitar. That's your specialty, right? Your favorite instrument?"
"Yeah, it is."
"I can sight-read music already too. And, I mean, you said guitar skills translate backwards to Guitar Hero, I don't know if being good at Guitar Hero will help me with the real thing."
"It won't hurt." Tyler Jordan let go of Quentin's foot to reach for his hand instead, his smile going a little goofy. "You want me to teach you my favorite instrument. I need a new word for yes, yes isn't emphatic enough. Fuck yes, I will teach you how to play guitar. Absolutely."
"Really?"
"Whenever you want to start learning. Give me a day and I'll go grab my old acoustic from my dad's house for you. Just promise me you'll stick with it."
"I'm not going to give up," Quentin said firmly. "I have plans I'm not going to abandon."
"Oh, now you have plans. What kind of plans?"
"The kind that aren't ready yet. You'll see." Tyler Jordan nodded, pulling Quentin's hand up to kiss his fingers.
"I look forward to finding out. You know how exciting this is?"
"Uh, yes? I think so," Quentin laughed, leaning in to steal a kiss. "It's pretty exciting. I'm definitely excited about it."
"Good. You're clever and you have agile fingers, I bet you pick it up pretty easy."
"Do I need to practice fingering? You don't mind helping, do you...?" Quentin joked, sneaking a hand underneath Tyler Jordan and squeezing his butt. Tyler Jordan grinned and moved to straddle Quentin's lap, stealing the kiss back.
"Not the same and yet I don't wanna dissuade you," he said, squirming a little as Quentin's fingers tucked into the back of his jeans. "Pretty sure you've got that kind of fingering down."
"I already know how to play you," Quentin said. "I'm the global expert on you."
"Yes, you are." Quentin pinched, and Tyler Jordan gasped, and they grinned at each other. "But I'm always willing to be played."
"Well then, let's make some beautiful music."
