Wilbur's Pov

Daytona sat next to me with her tank top pulled up. I held her hand as the tattoo artist put the sketch on her rib cage. Right where she has wanted it. Her hands shook with both excitement and fear. She looked over at me once the tattoo guy grabbed the tattoo gun.

"You got this, my love." I nodded at her and she smiled at me.

"Did it hurt for you?" She asked me with a quiet voice.

"I blocked it out."

I was too in tune with my emotions. Plus I was drunk so I wasn't really thinking. I didn't even notice the tattoo till I woke up the next morning and went for a shower.

The tattoo artist started tracing over the letters. You know how mine is in her hand writing? Well the tattoo is in my hand writing on her. And on top of that, you know how I have her finger print in a small heart? She has my fingerprint in a heart as well. She winced once he hit a spot but the pain soon washed away from her face. She smiled at me and I smiled back down at her.

I'm so helplessly in love with her. So many people tell couples to not get tattoos for each other because they can be dickheads and leave, but fuck it. I lost her once, I can't comprehend a life without her. This ink on my skin got me through it. I felt like she was still with me, and in a sense, yes she was.

"I still can't believe you took my idea." She mumbled, rolling her eyes.

She's been saying that i took her idea of getting this tattoo since she got her memories back. It's funny, it keeps us happy. I can't believe she's actually going through with it though. She was going to go one time last month but she chickened out. Now I'm sitting here next to her, holding her hand as she gets it.

Once the tattoo artist was done he wanted a picture of ours side by side, which we didn't have to do, but we both decided to. I took off my shirt and stood next to her as she pulled up her tank top. He was keeping our faces out, which I appreciated. I looked down at her and caught her already looking up at me.

"Two strangers learn to fall in love again?" I said looking down at her.

"They did, and now they can't live without each other again." She responded and i felt my smile grow.

"I love you Daytona Jareds."

"And I love you Wilbur Soot."
