I sat in the chair next to reki and he mixed something at the table. "You better not screw up." He smiled and looked at me with the tattoo gun in his hand. "I wouldn't mess up, because then I'd have to mess up on myself so we'd be matching."

I chuckled and he pulled my arm onto the arm rest before flipping it over and rubbing a wipe right under the crease of my elbow. I eyed him and he leaned over, giving me a kiss on the cheek. "Relax, okay?" I nodded and he pulled a glove on before putting the tiny stencil on my arm.

He peeled the stencil off and stared at it for a second before focusing. "Stay still and tell me if it hurts at all." I heard the light buzz and he made a small, curved line. "How did that feel?" I stared at the wall. "Uh, not that bad." Hw nodded and smiled. "Good." He went back and made small segments of the curved, continuous line, wiping every so often.

It was only a few minutes before the buzzing stopped and he wiped the arm down, pulling a very strong, sticky wrap on my new, slightly numb tattoo. He cleaned his area up and I looked down at it. "Okay, that's it, we can go home now." I glared at him and he smiled. "I'm kidding, I just have to clean up first." I nodded and grabbed my phone, patiently waiting as he slowly tattooed in the small spot on his arm.

He stuck his tongue out in concentration and I felt myself smiling at how cute he was. "I love you." I said and he nodded slowly, extremely focused. After a few minutes he wiped his arm and did the same he did with me, wrapping it up and then wiping his arm down with a wipe. "Aww, we're matching forever." He smiled and I looked at him, my heart full. "What?"

He looked at me and I smiled, shaking my head. "Nothing, you're just cute." Reki blushed and waved me off, bashfully. "Stop, you're making me blush, Langa." I stood up and he grabbed his phone off the counter. "Can we get a dog?" Reki asked as he locked up the store. I looked back at him and shook my head.

"Nice try, though. You had good timing but I'm never getting a dog." Reki snapped his fingers and I grabbed his hand as we walked down the street. He looked down at my inner forearm. "Infinity, huh?" I rolled my eyes. "No, I'm not some basic white chick who's stuck in 2013, this isn't just infinity, baby." I said and he chuckled. "What is it then?" He asked and I shrugged, toyed around with ideas.

"Well I don't know, the love for skating, being friend with you forever. Maybe it's my overwhelming love for you. We will never now." He elbowed my side and unlocked our apartment. "Eh, I think I have idea which on it is." I looked at him with amusement and questioned him. "It's the skating one."

I said and he nodded sarcastically. "Oh yeah, I was totally thinking that one." We both laughed and he grabbed me by my waist, practically pulling me to the bedroom. "Reki!" I squealed and he slammed me on the bed, the door slamming hard.
