Looking ahead in my prompts, it seems that I have to rewrite this one too. It should be the last one I need to rewrite, except for one of the last ones, but that's simply because I wrote out of order when I refuse to write out of order (thought it would totally be a lot easier if I did). But while I still kept the same structure, just far different actions in the last prompt, I can't really do that here. Whoopsie.

Well, at least it's short. I won't have to work that hard.

Day Nineteen: Spoiling one another

It's quite hard to spoil someone when they have a bunch of money to buy what they want or if they have no desire to be spoiled. Of course, that's just how society deems spoiling someone is nowadays- spending a bunch of money of money on someone in a surprise gift.

Saguru and Taylor have to get more creative. Instead of a surprise gift they just have little moments when they spoil each other. How a relationship should be, honestly. It's not like money is that important- okay, well, it is important in our society today, Saguru would argue. Taylor would try to disagree but would end up agreeing only moments after. Well, money wasn't as important as it was made out to be in TV dramas. But TV dramas were just that- dramas.

No, they would have different ways to spoil each other. For example, Taylor would make him tea and desserts that he likes- which wasn't hard, considering the sweet tooth he had. Saguru would take long breaks from his work and go walk in the park with her and attempt- which has been getting better, she noticed- to make dinner for the two of them.

But the biggest way to spoil her, he decided, had to deal with the instrument she played often in her living room. He would get it tuned for her and, once he's done his proper research on how to do it properly, would clean it for her. He found that letting her talk about the music and how to play the piano brought such joy to her face that it seemed to make his heart soar.

He was listening to her talk when she paused, staring nervously at him. "Would you... would you like to play something with me?"

He was astonished. Taylor, letting someone touch her precious piano? It was unheard of! And allowing him, someone that has no skill at all, to play alongside her? It spoke volumes and made his heart sing with joy. He gave her a half-smile. "Are you sure? You know I can't play."

She rolled her eyes and scooted over on the bench, patting the space next to her. "Nonsense, I'll pick something easy for us to play. Come, come."

He sighed but couldn't help the grin on his face as he moved from sitting with Duke over to where she was beckoning him. "Alright, so what's the plan?"

"Uh," Taylor thought for a moment. "I think I have some easy ones for us to learn. Hold on-" she slid off of the bench and walked over to her music bookshelf, scanning the lower shelves and pulling out a binder.

But Saguru got something else out of that action, other than her picking a composition for them to play. She decided this on a whim! So his grin grew wider as she walked back over, pulling out music sheets. "Are you trying to spoil me?" He teased.

"I'll say yes if you admit to spoiling me by letting me ramble about my music," she fired, returning his grin. He wasn't going to admit it- they didn't need to when they knew the answer already. She sat next to him again, arranging the music so they both could see it and placed one hand on the keys. "Okay, place your hand like mine, except in this area over here."

"Don't you need both hands to play?" He asked, mimicking her movements.

"Yeah, but we aren't going that far yet. We're gonna make sure you know this part at the beginning that repeats throughout the song." She pointed at the notes. "It may seem boring, but I'll show you how it'll work."

"Alright." Slowly, she started to play notes that he copied in a lower key. They played it a few times to make sure he had it before she let him play by himself. "That's it?"

"That's it."

He furrowed his brows. "I see."

She sighed. "I told you it was going to be boring- but once you have your part- the harmony- down then I'll let you learn the melody, deal?"

"Deal." He looked at her. "So I assume that the whole song isn't just notes like these?"

"Nope." She got really excited- she's teaching him rather than just talking about it! How fun! "Here- listen to my part." She played a series of notes, seeming as if she didn't need to look at the pages. "It sounds good, right? Now play your notes."

He played his notes and after a few rounds of him playing the same thing over and over again she joined in, playing the melody for him again. He closed his eyes in thought. "It seems more... tied together?" She hummed her agreement and he pressed a few wrong notes on accident. "Sorry,"

"No, no. It's fine. You were enjoying the sound." Taylor stopped and looked up at him. "You're actually taking this pretty seriously."

"Of course," Saguru said, looking back down at her. "You wanted me to, yes? And how can I take you spoiling me and throw it away like it doesn't even matter?"

"It's more like you're spoiling me by letting me teach you." She leaned against him and rested her head against his shoulder.

"Let's agree that we're spoiling each other then." He compromised. She laughed and nodded her confirmation. "Good- so let's try this again, shall we?"

"We shall," she sat up straight and positioned her hands again. "From the top!"

This seems to be a better 'teaching each other something' than the actual prompt for it. But this one doesn't have any kissing. So which one wins: a prompt with a (poor) kissing scene or the prompt that was written on a whim?

I like this one better, actually. I know nothing about pianos, but I love listening to classical music. It was fun to listen to all of the different kinds of music to try and figure out what I wanted them to learn together. The song I chose? Comptine d'un autre ete by Yann Tierson. It's a very pretty song- go check it out!
