Neil
After a few hours while Nick was reading his novel and I was reading another book related to buisness, when I got some messages. 'Looks like I have got the people who Day wanted to know.' I said and sent it to Day.
Nick
'The things he is doing, right now. Are they right?' I questioned.
Neil
I turned towards him. 'I don't know but as a friend I can only support him and be there when needed.'
Nick
I hummed and kissed his arm which was holding me while we went to our book worlds back.

Day
I was in the garage working when I received the messages from Neil.
'Let's get the tattoo first.' I said and went to the shop owner.
Wen (Tattoo artist)
'Welcome sir. What do u want inked?' I asked as a new customer approached me.
Day
I removed my shirt. 'My friend recommended u.' I said awkwardly as usually conversations with strangers were always done by Itt.
Wen
I got that he is somewhat uncomfortable.
'Thank u sir for coming here. But may I know what u want to get inked?' I asked.
Day
'I just want to get this faint marks on my shoulder permanent.' I said nervously.
Wen
I chuckled. 'Are u guys new in relationship?' I asked while preparing my tools.
Day
'No. We met 4 years ago. We are married.'
Wen
'Oh really. That's cool though.' I said and made him lay on the arm chair. 'This looks like ur first tat. Let me clear it to u it's gonna hurt like hell. Are u ready?' I asked.
Day
I nodded my head yes and put on some earplugs listening to the song 'Rewrite the stars' that Itt used to hear.
Flashback
Day
Itt, can u lower the sound of the music. I really need to rest.
Itt
It's literally a song. It would refresh ur mood. Itt said with a quirky smile.
Day
C'mon, it's literally a sad song. What's there to refresh in it? I asked.
Itt
It somewhat resembles us I guess. It gives me comfort. Itt huffed. U don't know anything. He said and took the earplugs to listen.
Day
Sorry Itt sir. I said and squeezed him in my arms. And took him down to sleep together.
Flashback ended.

A tear came out. And I opened my eyes to see the tattoo almost done.
Wen
'I have never seen a person with this much self power. U almost didn't cry till the end. Believe me, ur partner is gonna be impressed.' I smiled while putting more details in it.
Day
'Since u r putting so much details, can u engrave a name there too.' I asked.
Wen
'Sure. It sounds good.'
Day
I gulped and said 'Itt.'
Wen
I started inking the given name when suddenly I remembered something. 'U know what I was a biker earlier. I had a same name friend known as Itt. He was really dumb but brave. He always used to say that he will get a tattoo at his back or something. He was literally the showstopper on the track. But suddenly a few years ago, he left and didn't came back. He had told me that he got a boyfriend. But that's it. We could never contact again. I hope one day when I meet....' I was saying this to my customer  to see him looking at a particular corner with tears in his eyes. 'Yo bro, u ok.' I asked while drawing the tat properly.
Day
'So this is what he meant when he said he wants to go back to the way he was.' I was thinking when the artist's words pulled me out of the fog. 'Yeah, I am good.' I stuttered.
Wen
'The pain has got the good of him.' I thought and went back giving details.
Day
I thought that tattoos hurt but damn the pain of Itt not being around me was killing. Never in my life I have ever cried or was desperate so much until him. 'Do u know anything more about him?' I tried asking.
Wen
'Well, Itt was quite a brave guy. He had nerves to fight against someone stronger than him. Not to mention, he had defeated so many people earlier that when he didn't came to tracks anymore, the whole bunch of riders were literally missing him. He was chaotic and kind. Whatever money we used to earn, I used to save for this shop and him being the kindest, used to give it to me. When I finally opened this, I wanted him to be my partner here and be the first tattoo reciever but he declined both the offers. I really want to thank him. As he helped me in my worst times. I always talk about him whenever someone comes in hope of the customer might know him.' I said.
'The tat is done.' I said while taking a huge breathe.
Day
I looked at the tattoo. It felt dramatic and horrific at the same time. He really had done a great job. I couldn't even tell him that the person who he is trying to meet so much has gone missing. I asked for the receipt.
Wen
'I will take the money. No hurries. But before that u should know how to take care of it.' I went to his side and told him about all the instructions. When we were done I took the bill to give him and took a glance on his tattoo.
'Ur partner is wild bro. Look at ur whole ass shoulders all inked because of the hickeys over there. They are broad but almost covered. U r lucky man to have that person.' I said while receiving the money.
Day
I chuckled and went away.
Wen
'Visit us again!' I exclaimed.
Day
'Sure, if Itt allows to.' I said looking at the sky and walked away.
I came back home and ticked one box on the paper.
'Mission one Tattoo complete.' I said triumphantly.
