[One Shots] The Shop In Totem

I Love You

[Kore]

    I whine as Simon pokes the needle into my skin on my hip. He chuckles and leans against the back of my leg so he can see better. I hug his pillow and sigh.

    "You said it wouldn't hurt," I complain as he chuckles.

    "I said it wouldn't hurt that much." Simon laughs and wipes away some of the ink.

    "It hurts. A lot." I sigh as he pulls the needle away.

    "Do you want me to stop?" He peaks over so he can see my face.

    "No." I sigh as I remember how excited he was when I said yes. I chuckle as he continues.

    "Good, because you look really nice like this." He chuckles and I feel my face heat up.

    "It's not like I can wear pants while you tattoo my legs," I mumble and he just clicks his tongue and concentrates.

    I can't deny that he looks pretty when he concentrates like this. He's always liked tattoos, and when he learned how to do them he started begging me to let him give me one. After I saw the drawing he designed, I decided to let him try it. I didn't think it would hurt this bad though. He's getting a thrill out of it though, which I don't mind.

    "You and your sadistic tendencies." I chuckle as he smirks.

    "Maybe I like this a little too much, that's true, but you're also really pretty." He chuckles and places a hand on my waist. I feel myself heat up.

    "Thank the gods your parents and Sue aren't home today," I smirk at him, he sticks his tongue out at me playfully.

    "We have the entire weekend to ourselves!" He says as his eyes trace me and smirks.

    We both chuckle and he gets back to work on the tattoo. I move to lay on my back as he moves to work on the top of my tattoo. I whine as he starts to work on a more sensitive part of my skin. He smirks down at me.

    "You're doing such a good job." He mumbles. I feel my face heat up at his praise.

    "Now you're just trying to make me miserable." I chuckle and he nods.

    "You know me too well." He bites his lip as he starts to focus on shading a flower.

    "I know that you like to tease me, and then watch me suffer through it," I smirk as he gets a little red.

    I sit there for a while longer until he sits back and wipes his hands off on a nearby towel. He looks over the tattoo and smirks, obviously proud of his work. He pulls over a mirror and holds it up so I can look at the tattoo. I stand up and look at my hip.

    "Wow..." I run my hand gently over the flowers he's tattooed on my hip and thigh. The skin still stings a little.

    "Do you like it?" Simon smiles at me.

    "Yes! It's great! Good job!" I laugh as he picks me up and spins me around. He kisses me as I wrap my arms around his neck, I can feel him giggle.

    "Good! I was worried that it wasn't your thing." He sits on the bed with me in his lap.

    "I think it's pretty!" I run my fingers through his dark hair. He shivers and chuckles.

    "You really like playing with my hair." He mumbles and kisses me again.

    "I do," I smirk as he flips us over so he's on top of me.

    "I love you." Simon smiles brightly down to me. I feel my heart pound and I laugh, he looks a little confused. "Why are you laughing?"

    "I'm happy! You finally said it!" I chuckle and he turns red. "I love you too!"

    He kisses me again and giggles. I can't get over the fact that he's giggling. His hands rub my hips and I close my eyes. I run my fingers through his hair and relax.

    "You're so cute." He chuckles and I open my eyes to see him looking down at me.

    "I'm not cute. I'm hot. Get it right." I chuckle and he laughs.

    "I apologize, your highness." He laughs and does a bow over me, but when he sees my legs he squeaks and turns bright red.

    "You forgot I wasn't wearing pants?" I chuckle as he stares down at me.

    "I forgot you aren't wearing pants." He confirms and glances up to see my expression. I smile at him, and he goes back to lying on top of me. "I really do love you."

    "I love you too." I chuckle and brush his hair out of his face again. He furrows his brows and stares at me.

    "How are you so confident about your body?" He plays with my curly hair.

    "I wouldn't say I'm confident, I just don't give a fuck. I look how I look, and I'm not changing." I stretch and he turns bright red as I move under him.

    "I wish I was like that." He mumbles and sighs.

    "I think that you look gorgeous." I smile at him, he looks surprised.

    "Really?" He blushes and kisses my chest as he looks up at me.

    "Yes! You're muscular, your hair is soft, and you have this radiant smile that's full of love." I wave my hands around as I talk, and he chuckles. "I know confidence has never been your thing, but you look like a god."

    He doesn't say anything else but just smiles at me. I meant every word I said. He's beautiful and brave. He brushes my hair out of my face and kisses me. He bites his lip and looks down at me like he wants to ask me something.

    "What?" I smile up at him.

    "Can we... you know..." He glances away from me, obviously nervous. I smirk.

    "Can we what?" I flip us over and pin him to the bed. He looks shocked when I suddenly take control from him.

    "I'm not saying it." He grumbles and crosses his arm over his chest.

    "You're so bratty!" I laugh as he turns bright red. "You can say sex."

    "Fuck off!" He pushes on my chest, but it doesn't do much since he's not really trying to get me off of him.

    "Say it." I chuckle.

    "If I say it, can we do it?" He blushes and glares up at me.

    "If you say please." I chuckle as he considers it.

    "Can we fuck, please?" He grumbles and looks up at me.

    "That works too." I shrug and chuckle.

AN:

The first time Simon ever said 'I love you' to Kore was when he was doing his tattoo. This to me is a pretty bittersweet moment between the two of them. It's sweet, but when you know what happens between them in the future, it makes it pretty sad. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed!
