In their Shadows.

Chapter 6

~Yup. I look up, and the door opens. Fuck me. I'm dead. ~

I turned myself around and went to my office. Please say she didn't notice me. Of course, the person who walked in had to be my mom. Of course, Leo is having me tattoo her.

Please don't notice me. Please don't notice me. I turned around, and he looked at me weird. Leo pointed to my chair and said,"She's the best tattoo artist I have. She loves it when you talk her ear off." I just smiled at her and waved.

Okay, ma'am, what would you like today? She showed me a picture of  my name and said," Tommarow is my daughters funeral she's been missing for almost 2 years, and we're finally giving up." Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, ma'am. I turned around to get everything ready and mouthed,"Well, maybe if you weren't an abusive asshole I would've stayed."

She keeps looking at me weird while I'm getting everything ready. Out of nowhere, she asks,"So what's your quirk?" Shit, what do I say?" Swan, my quirk is called Swan. She nods and says,"You look a lot like my daughter, you know that?"

Oh, that's weird. I'm sorry. I got back to tattooing, and she started saying how  my dad said I was a failure and how I would mess up everything. Luckily, I finished. Okay, ma'am, I'm done wanna meet me upfront, please. She handed me 200 dollars, then 150 for her tattoo.

200 tip thank you, mom. I put it in with my other tips, and so far, today I've made 700 dollars. Uh, I love this job. The day seems to be going by super slow. I take off my leg and put it under my table, and start drawing again upside-down.

The door opens, and Leo starts laughing and points to me and says,"And she's always upside-down drawing, I swear." Touya moves from behind him and shakes his head. Hey TT, no judging me. I'll chuck my leg at you.

I use air and have my leg come flying to my hand, and he just runs over to me and picks me up still upside-down. Leo just stares and asks,"I'll take it. Do you two know each other?" Yeah, he's my roommate or bedmate, whatever you wanna call us.

He looks concerned and asks,"Wait, you two share a bed but aren't dating?" Nope, just friends, but basically, siblings have known this ass since I was a baby. He was the 3rd person to hold me."He messed up my hair and said," Yeah was a crying little bitch always had to have me around."

I know only the best. Leo pointed out and said," Copper, you never told us you had a fake leg." Oh yeah, lost my leg. Uhh, how hold was I?" Touya looked at him and said,"She was one, but it was two days before she turned two, so I just say two." So much fun, love it.

I use my quirk and push him down on the bed thingy. Hey bitch what are you getting? He rolls his eyes and says tattoo. Okay, do you have one, or are you gonna use one of mine? He shows me one and points to his back shoulder. Okay, roll over. I get everything ready, and he takes off his shirt.

I put the table by his head and lay on his back. He rolls his eyes and asks,"Seriously, is that comfortable?" Yes, yes it is, you're warm, and I'm cold. I got back to working on it when the door opened, and all my coworkers walked in. Yes?

They all looked at me weird and Devin said,"The place closes in 4 minutes we were wondering if you wanted to go get something to eat, but why are you laying on his back doing his tattoo?" Sure, and the only reason I'm doing it on his is because I know this asshole he's my roommate."

Touya rolls his eyes and says,"Or as you call me your bedmate." Yes, you are my bedmate TT. I use my wings and hover upside-down and go in his face and say hey I'm done. He pushes me to the floor and sits up, and puts his shirt on.

From the floor, I just stare up at him and shake my head. I should've drawn a dick on your back. He catches his hand on fire and says,"Okay, penny, you try that." I was joking. Please don't burn me. I throw stuff away and walk up front with him.
