Young Christopher sitting at the piano.

Adults talking in the background:

Wow! He is so talented already!

I know! Imagine where that kind of talent could take a kid like that.

Current Tyler:

* standing in front of Christopher's front door. Holding a box with cake inside and a bag.

Tyler's thoughts:

It's been a week... this might be the longest I haven't been ho— here...

After his first lesson... I haven't been here since...

Today is his birthday and I've never missed one... so...

WHY IS IT SO HARD TO RING THE DOORBELL?!?!

*Door opens to find a grumpy looking Christopher with stern eyes

Christopher:

Do you realize that you've been standing out here for over half an hour? Mrs. Klein from across the street called, freaked out. Get in before you freak any of the other neighbors out too.

Tyler:

*lowers his head

*enters house

*Immediately pulled into a kiss by Chris

Mngg!!

Tyler's thoughts:

blank---------------

Christopher:

*pulls away

*slight blush

*Fierce eyes

Incase you are planning to end our lessons... I wanted to get one more in...

Tyler:

*Flustered

Uh... Happy Birthday

*extends cake and bag out to Chris

Where are the rents?

Chris:

*Swipes the gifts

We celebrated this morning, as usual... except you weren't there... which really irritated... them. They are still at work.

Tyler:

*Scratches the back of his head

Sorry...

Christopher:

*Glare

For what? Not answering any of our calls? Or missing our family's birthday tradition?

Tyler's thoughts:

He looks really pissed...

I shouldn't have disappeared on them like that...

Tyler:

All of it... It really sucked not getting to throw whipped cream in your face this morning... I shouldn't have ghosted you guys like that this week. Mom is probably going to kill me huh?

*looks pitiful

*Suddenly pushed to the wall

Tyler's thoughts: Shit! I forget that he can be so strong...

Chris:

*Very intense eyes

*Leans in close

I'm ready for my next lesson teacher.

*grabs Tyler's face

Tyler's thoughts:

I don't know how much longer my heart can take this...

It feels like it is on fire.

Tyler:

*whines—

*Eyes widen

*lips are pressed together

Chris:

*Sucks on Tyler's buttom lips

*Slides his tongue into the other's mouth

*tongues dance and swirl

Tyler's thoughts:

Blank———————

Chris:

*pulls away from the kiss

*Satisfied grin on his face

Mmm. How was that? It felt right. Could it be bet—

Tyler:

*Pulls Chris back into a kiss

*pushes Chris back

Who... taught you...

Chris:

*Shocked

*embarrassed

No one. I just did what felt right. Was it good?

Tyler's thoughts:

Was it good?

How can he not know after I just pulled him in for more?!

Tyler:

*huff

It was... weak... You're going to need a lot more practice on this kind of kissing.

Chris:

*Eyes widen

*smiles

Thank you teacher! What can I improve?

Tyler:

*Stern look

First off, you nearly suffocated me...

Tyler's thoughts:

Which I totally didn't mind...

Tyler:

*Put's finger up in an authoritative way

*raises eyebrows

You need to be aware of her breath if you're going to have a successful make out session.

Chrisr:

*Nods

Mm.

*Serious eyes

Okay, lets go again.

*leans

Tyler:

*Turns face to avoid kiss

* kissed on the neck

*little moan—

Both:

*Shocked

Chris:

*Smiles against Tyler's neck

I think I may have just advanced...

Tyler:

*Blushing

*pushes Chris away

Okay! Time for a break!

I brought cake! And a present!

*Starts stomping towards kitchen

Chris:

*Looking pleased

Why are you yelling?
