"Hyung! Hyung! Guess what, guess what!? Wouldn't a tattoo machine be so cool!? I could do tattoos at home, it'd be so fun, and! and! You know, I'm an art major, right? It's almost the same thing as being a tattoo artist, right? It can't be so difficult-"
"Jisungie, hold on-"
"And you have, what? Three tattoos already? You know how it's done, where were they again? In your hip?"
"Jisung, wait up" Minho pries the younger's eager hands away from his torso trying to lift up his shirt. He holds his hands gently in his'.
He takes a deep breath and looks at the younger boy as straight and seriously as his fond gay ass possibly can.
This is one of these moments that needs extra observation and care.
"Jisungie, look at me, that's right, you're doing well" he says gently. "Take a deep breath, yes, it's okay, you're okay" he speaks.
"So, you want a tattoo machine? May I ask why and where does this come from?" Minho asks. He has way too many questions but he has to choose just a few and form them carefully.
"Yes, yes, I saw an ad of a site where you can buy, like, repaired second hand electronics and I decided to visit there in search for a new phone, you know how the screen of my phone is all cracked when I tripped in the stairs last-"
"To the point, Sungie, please"
"Yes, uhm, right, so I stumbled upon tattoo machines there and I was like 'oh my fudging gosh, these can actually be bought!?' and I looked more closely at one- it was smaller and not even expensive-"
"Okay, you're not buying one, okay?"
"I already did"
"Jisung..." Minho sighs heavily and closes his eyes to think.
"I just said it wasn't even expensive, did you not listen to me at all, hyung?"
Jisung's doe eyes are wide and sparkling with excitement and energy. Minho can't stay mad at him, can't even try to. He's used to dealing with these occassions. He reminds himself that Jisung himself can't do anything about it either.
It's just one his hyper episodes, it'll pass with time.
"Sungie- I don't want you or anyone to get harmed, okay? It can be dangerous" Minho argues.
"But I'll be extra careful, tattoo artist is, like, one of my dream jobs, you know that" Jisung argues back. "This way I can get practice, you see, can't you be happy for me?"
"I know that, and that's why you're the one responsible right now, do you understand that? And hey, I am happy for you, you can follow your passions but-"
"Yes, yes, don't act like a parent, hyungie"
"I'm just looking out for you, I know you're an adult and can make decisions of your own, but you have to be more careful and think properly before making a move, yeah?"
"Yeah, yeah" Jisung rolls his eyes but his silly little smile stays. Minho shakes his head.
"You're truly a little menace, huh?" he laughs and tackles the other onto the couch.
