Thankfully Dylan agreed to continue the guitar playing lessons. Colin felt his nerves tense up as he realized just how unqualified he was. He had seen so many others flawlessly play this instrument like it was in their instinct, yet all he had in front of him was a device he had only the most basic idea to operate. However, he was grateful for the advice – ‘It’ll suck until it doesn’t’. Yeah, that sounded pretty good.
Colin attempted to play out the lesson Dylan told him, and only managed to make an awkward discordant noise with his instrument.
“Augh, damn it…” he muttered, somewhat demotivated. Then Bellamy spoke.
“How dare you fail on your first attempt, Colin!” the Impmon snarled, but with a glint of humour in his green eyes. “Just for that, I resign as your partner and will commit myself to an oath of chastity on a monastery devoted to Homeostasis!”
“Bells, don’t-” Luke began, but realized his brother was joking and quickly broke out into laughter. With that, Colin felt the tension to perform properly lighten up a little, he grinned as well.
“Keep it up, Col, we’re with ya!” Bellamy declared. And so Colin tried again, and again, finding the strums get somewhat easier to play. As Dylan directed his lessons, he found each attempt go easier, learning how to direct his fingers. Of course he strummed a bad chord quite often, but with guidance, quickly learned from the mistakes. They even managed to jam a few tunes out together, all five of them, and even if most of them were imperfect, Colin felt the impetus to just continue even if he made a mistake, just to make sure he wouldn’t repeat it. Eventually, toward the end, they managed to make a great few seconds of music together, and as they finished, Colin couldn’t help but make a laughing cheer, this felt so wonderful and fulfilling.
Of course he couldn’t claim to be a perfect guitarist at this moment, but he felt that progress had definitely been made.
Luke and Bellamy gave nods to Dylan as he advised them to help Colin continue practicing. In fact they were so used to being spoken to like this while in their holosuits, they disregarded the fact that they appeared to him as digimon and took it naturally. “Yep! Will do.” they promised.
Dylan then asked how he felt the lesson went. Colin beamed as he put the guitar down. “That was great, I feel better about this already.” he replied. “Like… I’ve got a path ahead to learn from and all.”
“And we’ll hold your progress to account too, Colin.” Luke added. “From now on, at least half an hour after school revising what we learned today.”
“Hrm, alright.” Colin said, not exactly cherishing the idea of that being chewed out of his free time after school, but supposed he’d best just take it in his stride for now. After all, from this afternoon visit, he had made a friend with a fellow classmate tamer his own age, and had established a common interest together. That was a pretty sweet deal.
“So then, what’s next?” Bellamy asked, putting his instruments away and stood by his partner.
“Ah, yeah, we’d best head home now.” Colin said, after looking at his watch. He extended a hand to Dylan. “Thank you very much for that lesson, Dylan, and it’s been great getting to know you. Looking forward to see you around later.” he extended the same to Dylan's partner. "And you too, Shoutmon."
