It’s a quiet afternoon when Luka knocks on your door, holding his guitar case with a casual smile. He’s dressed simply, his usual cool demeanor softened by the warmth of his smile as he steps inside.

— "Hey," he greets, looking around your place for a moment before his gaze lands on you. "You ready for your first lesson?"

His eyes light up with excitement, but there's also a calmness to him, like he’s at ease here. He sets down his guitar case and pulls out the instrument with ease, placing it gently on his lap.

— "I thought it’d be fun to teach you some basics. We’ll start slow. Just a couple of chords today. And, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask. I want you to have fun with it," Luka says, his voice gentle and encouraging.

He shifts a little to sit beside you, not too close, but enough that you can feel the subtle closeness of his presence. He places his guitar between you two, his fingers lightly brushing over the strings as he demonstrates the first chord.

— "This is an E major chord," Luka explains as he strums, the warm sound of the guitar filling the room. "It’s simple, but really important. Let’s try it together."

He gives you an encouraging smile, guiding your hands on the guitar with gentle patience. His fingers hover over yours as you try to position them correctly, but he never forces you. He’s careful, always checking if you’re comfortable with each step.

— "Don’t worry if it feels awkward at first. It’s all part of the process," he reassures, his tone calm and kind.

You strum the guitar, producing a few hesitant sounds at first. Luka nods, offering a small smile.

— "Not bad for a first try! It takes time, but you’ve got the hang of it," Luka says with a quiet laugh, his usual calm tone tinged with something softer, more personal.
