“Are you sure you wanna do this Senju? Your brother would have a cow if he found out what we were doing.” You said, getting out a small kit from under your bed. 

“Yeah, it’s not like it's going to be in a place where he’ll see it instantly. Plus, by the time he has a cow, it’ll be done by then.”

“Ok if you say so.” You said getting all of your materials ready. 

You were a bit surprised when Senju texted you asking if she could come over. It wouldn't have been so weird, if it wasn’t 2am. You were even more surprised when she asked you to give her a stick and poke tattoo. Finally getting everything you needed out and ready, you explained to her how you were going to give it to her. 

“Ok I’ll just be telling you how I’ll be doing it.First, I’ll be cleaning the area you want it. Then,  I’ll be drawing the outline of the design you want in a light blue, non toxic, non permanent pen. From there I’ll use one of my needles with India ink on the tip. It won’t be going that deep, only when it ‘pops’ through the skin, don’t worry it won’t hurt. I’ll pat it dry, and give it some air. 

 Finally, I’ll make sure to clean it well with anti-bacterial soap without any scents or dyes, as the same with lotion. Do you understand?” You explained. 

She only nodded her head, “Yes I understand. And before you ask, yes I’m 100% sure I wanna do this.” 

Hearing that she was ready, you nodded your head before getting to work. Senju wouldn't lie if she didn’t see that she really didn’t like the atmosphere. The only lights on in your room was a lamp on your desk, along with some neon signs on your wall. The only noise that could be heard was the music playing from your speaker. It felt calm and serene. 

She couldn’t help but pay attention to you working, the two of you being close since she wanted the stick and poke on her shoulder. She couldn’t help but take in your amazing details. How the little strawberries(pimples) made you look way more cute, how your lashes fluttered as you blinked. But the most prominent thing was your cheeks. They would be commenaly be compared to ‘baby cheeks’ but she found them absolutely adorable. Plus, were they soft and squishy?

Before she could think about what she was doing, her hands were already squishing your cheeks. 

‘Ah, the are indeed soft, and squishy.’ She thought with a small smile on her face. 

“Uh, Senju?” You called out, a bit confused on why she just randomly cupped your face. 

“Ah, I’m sorry, [First name]. I didn’t realize I was doing that.” She said, retracting her hands sheepishly. 

“No it’s ok. You're lucky I was only doing the outline, I’m going to start the actual thing now.” You said, putting on your surgical gloves, dipping the clean needle into the ink. 

The both of you had sat in convertible silence, letting the music fill the air as you worked. Senju was a bit curious, so she decided to ask a question that was on her mind. 

“[First name], what was your first stick and poke like?” Senju asked as you dipped the needle into the ink. You humed for a second before answering before getting back to working. 

“Well, unlike some people, I did research online. But what inspired it was seeing it on my Pinterest feed. So, I saved up some money by ordering a kit online. If my parents knew what I was doing, I would have been sent 6 feet under on the spot. I got it when it came in the mail after school and thankfully they were both at work. From there I practiced on oranges before- WHAT, WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING?” You asked, pausing your work. 

“ HA HA HA, I’M SOR- HAH AN ORANGE?” She whizzed out, holding her stomach as tears flowed from her eyes. The only thing you could do was pout while trying to explain yourself. 

“Look, I needed something to practice on, ok? I didn’t want a badly done tattoo, THAT IS PERMANENT, on my amazing skin. “

Soon, Senju had dyed down as you continued your work. 

“From working on onganges, like I was saying, I was soon confident enough to do it on my own. Proud to say so far I haven’t gotten an infection yet.” You explained, cleaning up the area with the soap you had before putting on the right lotion. Now the two of you were just sitting on the floor and chilling. 

“Now, you’ll have to come back in two weeks for me to do a touch up on it. It’ll scab over, so whatever you do, DON’T PICK AT IT!!” You said, looking over at Senju admiring your work with sparkles in her eyes. Then, she pulled you into a hug. 

“Thank you, thank you, thank you [First name]! You're so good at it!” She said, squeezing you a bit tighter. 

“Yeah yeah, don’t tell Takeomi that I gave it to you, he’ll beat my ass.” You explained before you leaned into her shoulder(opposite one of the tattoo) closing your eyes.

“I’m going to bed at night.” You said getting a comfortable. 

“What am I, your pillow?” She asked. 

“This is payment.” 

“Fair.” 

I really like this one, make sure you eat something and drink some water if you haven't already, love ya<3
