Prompt: Zoe and Madison get matching tattoos. Listened to Tattoos Together by Lauv while writing this, which is also where the title comes from.

The warm Louisiana breeze danced across Zoe Benson's skin as she sat on the tailgate of her friend Logan's truck, watching the outlines of her friends dancing in the dimming twilight. She hadn't even really wanted to come out tonight, trying in vain to make up some excuse about how she had a chemistry exam to cram for that upcoming Monday, but upon insistence from her best friend Madison, she had allowed herself to be dragged out of her house and escorted to some field bordering the outskirts of town, a popular party place for the group of friends since their early high school days. If anyone else had asked her to come to the party, she would have declined immediately, but because it was Madison, she had a hard time saying no. Zoe and Madison had been friends since they were children, and even back then, the brunette could never say no to the blonde, and that carried over all throughout middle and high school, and still seemed persistent as they were going to enter their second semester of college soon. She watched Madison dance in the evaporating sunlight, and a fond smile spread across her lips. Out of all the views she had been given of the blonde, this one was her favorite. It was something in the way her hair danced along with the breeze that made her heart stutter in her chest, and a warmth like no other radiate throughout her body.

"You listening, Benson?" A familiar voice came from next to her, and she looked over to see their mutual friend Kyle Spencer looking at her expectantly. The brunette nodded distractedly and went back to her admiring, and she heard a chuckle come from the boy sitting next to her. In their friend circle, it was common knowledge that Zoe had been in love with Madison for as long as she could remember, and everyone seemed to pick up on this fact except for the blonde herself, who had always been oblivious to these types of cues. A range of different emotions from sympathy to annoyance stretched across the tight knit group, sympathy for the brunette and her fragile heart at the hands of the vivacious and fun loving girl, annoyance that nothing had come of the situation.

"When are you gonna grow some balls and tell her before it's too late? You know lots of people have their eye on Mads, she's a catch after all." Kyle stated nonchalantly, but she knew nothing about his words were casual. He was trying to either give her that final push, or spare her feelings in case Madison chose to pursue one of the many people vying for her attention, and while she appreciated his efforts, she knew the blonde could never hurt her no matter what she did. However before she could fire back a snappy response, the girl in question bounded over to them, jumping up into her lap and throwing her arms around her neck like the action was the most natural thing in the world(it was).

"Party's winding down soon." Madison said as she looked away from her best friend and to the crowd of dwindling partygoers. Zoe knew what the blonde was asking, and while she was definitely buzzed, she wasn't sure if she could handle hours more of partying.

"I don't know if I have much more energy left in me, Mads." She answered, watching the blonde's lower lip form into a pout. She wanted to kiss her so badly in that moment, but she knew it wasn't appropriate to think that way so she pushed away her thoughts and held her best friend a little tighter to her body, hoping she could feel everything she was unable to say in her touch. It was silent for a moment, and Zoe almost forgot about what was going on around her until the sound of Kyle clearing his throat broke the spell, and she threw a glare quickly his way as Madison got off her lap and readjusted her clothing.
