noise. tons of it. my tattoo shop has so much noise. loud, rock music. sometimes small gasps of pain. occasionally a whining child or crying baby. the clients talking, laughing, eating, or yelling. so much noise.

i finish piercing the girl on the chair below me, her ears red from my hands holding it.

"finished." i mumble, stepping away so she could get up.

she holds up a mirror, smiles and says thank you, gives the money, and leaves.

i do this all day. tattoos, piercings, any kind of body modification really. i mean, i have several piercings and many tattoos myself. why not do it to other people?

i quickly change the sign from 'open' to 'closed' and step out of the shop, locking it. everyone had left. it was about 11:30 pm, and it was time to leave.

i headed to the right, and rolled my eyes at the flower shop next to me. the differences between the shops right next to each other were amazing.

the flower shop, owned by some kid with pink hair, had lots of pink, purple, blue, yellow, fancy words and writing, and overall bright and happy. meanwhile, my shop was black, red, loud, big, and dark. different.

i looked into the window of the building, and saw the boy with pink hair.

it was pretty faded pink, and it really made his bright green eyes stand out. his plain white tee shirt with jeans made him look very plain but honestly, very cute.

my rock band shirts, ripped to shreds, along with my skinny jeans, and many tattoos, piercings, and black hair made us quite different.

the kid, looked at me back and smiled, waving. he mouthed something like, 'come in', so i did. im not an asshöle, please.

i step in and immediately hear classic and quiet rock music, and an overwhelming smell of super sweet flowers. i nod as i look to him.
"yeah? everything okay, babe?" i say, crossing my arms.

he flushes, nodding. "i-i just wanted to know if you wanted to um take some flowers?" he mumbles, looking at anywhere else but me.

i chuckle. "sure, babe. but tell me, what's your name?"

"um, michael...yours?"

"luke hemmings. remember that. you'll need it later."
