(There's a slight TW for this chapter, but I'll provide another warning before the part.)

I grip onto his leather jacket because my anxiety level is beyond high. I can feel the anger fuming off him, why did I get on this motorcycle, maybe I literally just have a death wish. Or maybe something about this dude just intrigues me. I like getting inside peoples head. Is that toxic? Probably. But that's not the point. I figured we were going to the dojo, but he skipped the tune for that. He blows past stop signs, and flies past cop cars. He just thinks nobody in this world can stop him. He pulls into this..janky looking parking lot. Is this...a tattoo studio?
He gets off the motorcycle without speaking and nods for me to follow him into the building..I feel like I could get hepatitis just from looking at the outside of the place, however once we get inside, it's actually pretty nice. I hear the soft hum of tattoo guns.
"Rico!" He says going over to a dude dapping him up
"Hawk, my man!" Rico says smiling.
"So the last time I was here..I've got something we need to fix. Something about the moon just..doesn't fit me anymore." He says fidgeting with his hands behind his back. I just stand a few feet behind him silently fiddling with my rings on my fingers.
"Yeah sure this, oh, hello miss- wait is this your girl?" Rico gestures to Hawk while looking at me
"Uh yeah sure, something like that." Hawk says with a smug, but flat expression. I eye him but I don't dare speak. He knows what I mean. That kind of look that screams "excuse me??"
"Well, is there anything I can help you with?" Rico says asking me
"Well Auclair, you wanna get a tattoo with me? I'll cover you." Hawk asks with his hand in his pockets
My throat goes dry. My worry isn't my parents. Honestly I don't know what my worries are. My parents don't care about this I use to express myself, thankfully.
"Yeah..yeah actually I do have something I wanna get." I say confidently
"Great, I'll get you right after I get him."
*lil time skip*
I grit my teeth as I finally feel the needle leaving the skin below my collarbone.
"Finished!" Rico says while holding a mirror
I look in the mirror at the red inked skin, and I'm in love.
