Tattoo Shop Introductions

They walked the few blocks over to the tattoo shop

"Bakugo! How are you? I'm glad you guys could come in today!" a voice called out from the back of the shop.

"Good man, just glad to finally be getting this done." Bakugo responded as a tall, frail looking man with bright green eyes walked up to the counter.

"Perfect, well, we're all set up for you, so come on back." The man gestured for them to follow as he turned and walked into the back rooms of the shop.

"How's business been?" Bakugo asked as they followed the man.

"Pretty slow, but I have had a few people swing by for some rather large tattoos because of your recommendations, so we're doing alright," the man smiled. "Okay, well, here's the room we'll be working in, since you said you had extras with you, we snagged the big room for today." He pushed open a door, revealing a large room with two workstations set up in the middle and a row of chairs along the wall.

They all walked in, setting their stuff down on the row of chairs.

"Hey guys!" A short man, with bright blue hair, walked into the room with a bright smile.

"Eijiro, Denki." Bakugo gestured to them. "These are the guys that will tattoo us. David," gesturing to the tall lanky man wearing all black, "and Indigo." pointing at the shorter man with full color Pokémon sleeves.

"Nice to finally meet you! We've heard wonderful things about the two of you." Indigo smiled as Bakugo blushed slightly.

"Nice to meet you too, man!" Kirishima beamed brightly as Kaminari just giggled and buried his face in Sero's arm

"Alright Bakugo, you ready?" David asked as he got himself situated at his workstation

"Yeah, let's get this done." Bakugo pulled off his plain black shirt, handing it to Kirishima.

"Alright, let's get this stencil placed, make sure it's in the right spot, and we'll get started." David prepped the stencil, turning it a few degrees before placing it on the back of Bakugo's neck. "Okay, take a look, how's that?" he asked handing him a small mirror

Bakugo grabbed the hand mirror and walked over to the floor-to-ceiling mirror along the wall.

"It's good." Bakugo sat down in the massage chair next to the workstation David was at.

David started up his machine and got to work on Bakugo's neck.

Sero sat still as Indigo placed the series of stencils across his back. Kaminari sat under him looking up through the face rest, making him smile.

"There we go! What do you think?" Indigo leaned back as Sero walked to the mirror.

"Perfect." Sero gazed at the lines in the mirror before returning to the chair, "What do you think, babe?"

"I think it's going to look great!" Kaminari smiled brightly

"Just let me know if you need me to stop and take a break, okay?" Indigo set himself up and grabbed the machine.

"I will." Sero took a deep breath, closing his eyes, mentally preparing himself to sit still for the next few hours.

Indigo got his machine running and got to work, his powder blue eyes focused intently on the line-work.

Still sitting on the floor, Kaminari peered around the chair, looking up at Indigo, entranced by his large, round eyes. 'They're like the sky.' His golden eyes went wide with awe, completely captivated by their beauty.

Catching a glint of gold out of the corner of his eye, Indigo paused for a second, his gaze meeting Kaminari's. He gave a quick little wink with a warm smile before continuing.

Kaminari darted back under the chair. Blushing when he realized Sero had been watching him, doing his best not to chuckle.

"Pretty, aren't they?" Sero whispered so only Kaminari could hear him, "but not as beautiful as yours, mi amor." He smiled lovingly as Kaminari's face flushed red.

"Hey Denks! Wanna play a game with me? I have a few on my phone that we can play together!" Kirishima asked enthusiastically.

"Yeah, okay." Kaminari got up taking a peek at the work David was doing, 'Wow, that's gonna look nice.' He walked over to Kirishima sitting down next to him.

Kirishima and Kaminari played a few games until the back door to the shop opened, making a loud beep.

"Right on time." David glanced up at the clock on the wall.

"AWWWW YEEEEEAAAAAAAHHH!" A female voice boomed through the shop. "Okay! Who wanted to work on this manly as HELL tiger design!?" A tiny purple haired woman enthusiastically exclaimed, busting through the door, the smell of a wooden campfire following her into the room.

"ME!" Kirishima jumped out of his seat excitedly.

"I like your style man, I'm Lilith." She brushed some of her purple hair away from her face, smiling warmly.

"Eijiro, nice to meet you!" Kirishima smiled as he took a step toward her.

"Wait a second, aren't you Red Riot?" Lilith's eyes went wide as she looked up into Kirishima's face.

"That's me!" Kirishima smiled brightly 'She smells like roses'

"Bakugo what the fuck?!" Lilith stomped her foot.

"What?" Bakugo asked, irritated as the scent of rain filled the room.

"You're dating Red Riot, literally my favorite hero, and you didn't fucking tell me!" Lilith exclaimed emotionally.

"I just fucking thought you were smart enough to piece it the fuck together. Sorry not sorry."-Bakugo

"Hey Lil, I know you're excited and all but I am trying to tattoo here." David sighed distracted by the sudden swirl of scents.

"Sorry David. Mr Red Riot sir, would you join me in my office so we can talk about this bitchen' tattoo?" Lilith asked sweetly as the smell of roses, with the faintest hint of campfire, filled the room pushing out the other scents.

"You can just call me Eijiro, no need to be so formal." Kirishima smiled blushing as he rubbed the back of his head.

"Well then Mr. Eijiro," Lilith held open the door, "After you."

"Denks, do you want to come with me or stay here?"-Kirishima

"I'll go with you." Kaminari rubbed his forearm, 'Maybe she'll have a good idea'
