IT HAD BEEN THREE full days since your little "consultation" with tendou and you found yourself awaiting his text, which must have been simply because you were excited to get your tattoo process started... right?

you couldn't get your brain to stop randomly projecting pictures of his soft features and the feeling of his chest on your back. his lingering body heat and the excruciatingly condescending yet sweet sound of his voice reverbr—

"hellooo? earth to y/n?" you hear a voice call you back to reality.

"oh, gus," you said monotonously, "it's you." gus was your supervisor and a close coworker of yours since college, where you majored in automotive engineering and mechanics.

"disappointed, are we? who were you hoping for, hmm?" he nudged you shoulder hard, causing you to almost lose your balance.

shooting him a malice-filled sidelong glance, you stood up from your squatting position and rubbed your hands on your dirty overalls, sliding the sleeves down and off your arms before tying them around your waist.

"i'm always disappointed to see you, whats new?" you said, using your knuckles to shift the protective glasses off your eyes and flash gus a cocky grin in response to his scowl.

"you know, you really shouldn't be so rude to your boss," said gus, strutting over to you, his thick fingers pointing to the "supervisor" pin in the middle of his chest. he clearly wanted to show it off. "this thing's powerful."

with a scoff, you blew a curl of of your face, "tuh, yeah right! whether or not you're my boss really doesn't matter because i'm still the most handy person in this shop," you shrugged, smiling.

"lies, cockiness... lies, arrogance, annnd even more lies," gus said, making a 'blah, blah, blah' talking gesture with his hands. "that's all i hear."

"oh yeah? then why are your overalls so clean?" you said, head motioning towards his wrinkled, but otherwise pristine overalls.

"oh— well, pshhh I- you know," he shrugged, struggling to keep the innocent act. "supervisors have much more important business to handle than fixing... things..."

"yeauup," you nodded nonchalantly upon hearing the chime of your phone, "mmmhm."

you could heat gus' grumbles about you not at least washing your oil-stained hands before unlocking your phone.

your eyebrows knit together at the sight of the text from an unknown number.

000-000-0000
dear y/n...
———————————————

a small smile made its wait across your lips as you tapped on the notification, opening a larger window.

"that the person you been daydreamin' about?" gus said, out of nowhere appearing behind you, intent on sneaking a peek at your phone.

yanking your phone from his gaze, you smushed your hand into his face, "stoppp!! you're so damn nosy!"

"i need to know what my inferior coworker is doing..."

———————————————
000-000-0000

because of your absolute inability to concentrate during our consultation—and no, i will not be taking any criticism, as it was entirely your fault— i've decided that it's best to communicate this way until further notice.
———————————————

you could hear gus' voice in the back of your head as you head the unbelievable text in front of you:

"...on her phone instead of getting to work..."

———————————————
000-000-0000

now, as the responsible artist i am, i have prepared a few questions for you to answer pertaining to your tattoo:

1. what style tattoo would you like (traditional, watercolor, etc...)
2. describe to me what your tattoo should look like
3. do you have any references or sketches to further help my interpretation of your tattoo?

bonus question: does this tattoo have any specific meaning to you? if so, what does it mean?

yours sincerely,
tendou

the small smile on your face only grew the more you read, though you have no idea why that is.

"...on the many vehicles that are lined up here— eh?? are you even paying attention to me??" gus exclaimed, sounding mildly offended.

"gus shut up. shut up, shut up, shu—"

"but—"

"shhhhh," you sounded, pushing your pointer finger into his thin lips and swaying it.

you sped walked to the nearest stool to sit down and think of a response, gus eyeing you like a wounded cat as you started typing. the frizzy bangs hanging over your eyes only added to your pursed lips to make your ultimate look of concentration.

———————————————
you
dear tendou

i think you may have mistaken the messaging app for the email one... or for a piece of paper because that's not....
