When the Days are Dark

Chapter 16

"Let's get high then get tattoos!" Denki exclaimed causing you to jump from his sudden outburst. The two of you were sitting outside of a room, listening to Bakugou chew out Sero. "What? Why?" you asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I just feel like we would look sexy with some tats. I mean look at Bakugou, Sero, and thou that shall not be named." Denki said, counting on his hand the number of people he has seen with visible tattoos. You raised an eyebrow. "You think Bakugou and Sero are hot?" you asked.

"What? I can say that. Girls say other girls are pretty all the time. I'm not some guy doused in so much toxic masculinity that I can't even admit when a guy is good-looking." Denki scoffed. "Okay. I get it. Where do you want your tattoo?" You asked, standing up and dusting yourself off. If you were to get a tattoo, you'd probably get it down your back. One that would look so good during back shots, you supposed. No! what are you thinking? Get it in the spot that would be most desirable, and if that spot is actually on your back then it wouldn't be too bad. Piercings would be nice too. One of the nipples or nose, maybe both.

"I'd get a sleeve," Denki answered, flexing his right arm.

"Alright then," you said, checking your bank account. You knew you'd most likely be paying. Mostly because Denki is a teenage boy who spends most of his money on some bullshit in less than 24 hours.

Seeing that your bank account was over 2k, you shrugged. "Alright then. Let's get tattoos." you smiled. Bakugou opened the door right before you could even step foot away. "Where are you going?" he questioned.

"To get tattoos."

"With him?" Bakugou nodded his head towards Denki, who was seemingly trying to avoid Bakugou's gaze. "Yeah," you nodded. "Mm-mm," He hummed out, "We're coming," he said, pointing out Sero who was smoking a blunt whilst sitting in a chair. "Good, you can pay." you smiled, grabbing Denki by the collar of his shirt to beat the other two to the car.

Bakugou glared before he and Sero followed the two of you out. As you made it to the car, opening the passenger back door to get in, Denki was dragged away. He screamed just a bit, thinking he was kidnapped or something.  "Front seat," Bakugou instructed, taking Denki's spot next to you. "Man, you could've just asked," the younger mumbled. "What was that?" Bakugou hissed.

Denki stayed silent. If he had said the wrong thing, he probably would have been on the pavement instead of inside the car. He got into the car, taking the front seat as he was told. "You shouldn't pick on him like that." you scolded. Yet your attempt to save Denki from Bakugou's constant bullying was ignored.

Sero pulled up to the tattoo parlor, stopping in the front just to let you and Denki out. When you realized the other two weren't coming you frowned, "You guys aren't coming in?" you asked.

"We're gonna wait out here," Bakugou answered.

You nodded and headed into the shop. You were greeted by a lady who was tattooed from her neck down. She had piercings in every place imaginable on her face. "Hi. What can I do for you guys today?" she asked, her smile wide and bright, her voice high-pitched and preppy. She had an attitude and voice that was the exact opposite of her appearance. "Uhm, I'm getting two nose piercings and a tattoo. He's just getting a tattoo." You answered. She nodded, "Do you have an appointment?" she asked. "No," the both of you answered simultaneously. "Okay, that's fine. I'm free for now so I can handle the piercings. And draw the art on you guys if you would like."
