theme #39- hair tie
Hiro growled as he missed the same freaking note again. His hands clenched around his guitar. Then a large lock of hair came from behind his ear and fell into his line of sight. He swiped it away with a furious motion. Damnit, he wasn't getting anywhere with this song... He resisted the urge to do something inane- like tearing out his hair (it kept getting in the goddamn way) or throwing his guitar just cause he couldn't get this measure of the song.
Suguru looked up from the chair opposite of where Hiro was sitting and shut the book he was reading. He then got up and walked out of the room. Hiro didn't notice- too busy tugging his hair away from his face.
Two minutes later, Suguru entered the room again. He set a can of pop on the table, making a slight sound, catching Hiro's attention. He looked at the can, confused and then felt Suguru behind him. He turned his head slightly and stared at his boyfriend.
Suguru stretched the hair tie he held and then pulled all of Hiro's hair away from his face. He gathered it all upon the guitarist's head- rather tightly, if you asked Hiro- and then snapped the hair tie around it. It was pulled up in a high ponytail and away from Hiro's face. No more irritating strands getting in his eyes.
Then Suguru placed a hand on Hiro's shoulder. "Take the song a bit slower and it'll be easier to play." Hiro opened his mouth but Suguru continued. "And once you got it down, you can try playing it faster." Hiro looked down, flushing. He should know that by now. He shut his eyes. "And take a quick break, okay?"
Hiro opened the pop and took a quick sip before setting it down.
Suguru looked at him. "That's all I'm going to get, isn't it?" Hiro nodded, a small smile curling up his lips.
Then Suguru leaned down and brushed Hiro's lips with his own.
And suddenly, everything didn't seem so bad. Hiro smiled and started retrying the song- slower this time- as Suguru sat down and started reading his book again.
