Even now after all this time he still found ways to shock you with how far he was willing to go for a little attention. See you had been busy recently, money isn't free after all, you need to work for that, so you've been focused, and he hated it.
Your attention was on anything but him, it was unfair, he needed to do something impressive, something amazing to get your attention back, and he knew just how.
He bought a large ass piano and started taking lessons, well not really. He just watched videos and copied, he tried to read manual but gave up within the first sentence, what shocked you even more was that he was actually decent at it. His fingers hit the keys perfectly on time as he had a shit eating grin on his face, turning to look at you with a wink.
"Am I worthy of your attention noooow~?"
