"Rory... Confession is the admission of one's sins. Our souls... need to Confess. By looking deep within ourselves, by exposing the darkness inside us, we free our souls from the burden of their sin. That is what I'm offering to you, darling. So I will save you, Rory. I will help you lift that burden. I will help you Confess... And I will pass no judgement on you. No matter how messy it gets... All you have to do is say... Yes..." John smiled at me as he began tattooing my chest.

I grunted from the pain, the tattoo needle digging in and out of my skin at a fast pace was sort of... pleasurable... for me; never would I ever admit that though.

"Things could be worse, you know... here you just have to Confess. In the East, well... let's just say too much Bliss can go to one's head. Faith created her 'Angels' but she never did treat them all that well..." He chuckled as he began to tattoo 'Wrath' into my chest. "Your main sin... is Wrath. It drives you. Every thought, every action. So, I'll indulge you: become Wrath. Let it fill your body and consume your soul. Because in the end, you'll still be empty. And I'll be right here to help you Confess and fill you back up... Hold still, it's supposed to say 'Wrath' not 'rat.'"

A few minutes passed and he was finished. John stood up from his bed and backed away from me, examining his... 'masterpiece.'

"Ah. Perfect." He chuckled. "Let's do your other sins." John grabbed his sponge and metal bowl and started scrubbing away at my collarbone. "Your next sin... is Pride. Pride eats away at your heart and causes you to be... arrogant and... narcissistic. Pride is the deadliest sin of them all. It is indeed the root of all evil and the beginning of sin. Did you know that, Rory?" The Baptist placed his metal bowl and sponge on the bed right next to him; he picked up the tattoo gun again and started tattooing 'Pride' on my left collarbone. "I'm going to give you all the Pride you can handle. Say... YES."

"Yes." I meekly whispered as he carved the last letter into my collarbone.

"Done with 'Pride,' sweetheart." John grinned at me.

He seemed to really enjoy this shit.

"I need you to start Confessing. I need to figure out your other sins, if you have any." The Baptist put all his equipment on his bed and began gazing into my eyes.

"I— I don't know... what to Confess, John." I admitted, staring down at my new 'tattoos.'

"I'll help you, Rory. What is your greatest, deepest, maybe even darkest desire?" John inquired, his ocean blue eyes staring into mine. "I know it can be a little terrifying at first, but I'm not here to judge. Your secrets will be safe with me. I promise."

I pondered for a moment, truly wanting to give him an answer, "...I genuinely care for the Deputy, but... Shit... I think I may have feelings for another man... He's not someone that my parents would approve of at all, John." I sighed, "I'm gonna take a guess and say my other fucking sin is 'Lust.'"

The Baptist clenched his jaw, an unreadable expression on his face. "Who is it?"

"... That's a little too private there, pal."

He nodded his head, understanding. "I need to um— lower your jeans a little." John unbuttoned and unzipped my jeans. "May I?"

I nodded my head, giving him permission to pull my pants down.

The Baptist tugged my jeans down to my knees then retrieved his bowl and sponge, beginning to scrub just above my panties. A slight blush made its way to my cheeks because John FUCKING Seed had a good view of my black lace underwear! Once he was finished cleaning the area, John grabbed his tattoo gun and started going to town on my hip.

He began teasing me, "Never thought one of your sins would be Lust, Rory." John chuckled, scarring the sin into my flesh.

"Well, John, I'm full of surprises."

"You're not even screaming or crying. I'm afraid you're actually enjoying this, dear."

"I— I am not." I stuttered, my face becoming a darker shade; I was a fucking mess and he knew it.

John flashed me a mischievous smile as I stared at the wall, waiting for this embarrassing moment to be over...
