Tony's pov
I kind of felt bad for her a few times. it looked like it kinda hurt in some spots. she did a full sleeve and it was really pretty. she had it done on her right arm because she wears all her bracelets on her left wrist.
"you holding up okay?" I asked when she was about down to above the elbow.
"yea, I'm just worried for my scars, I'm not sure if it's going to hurt worse or what," she said and held my hand with her free one.
"Colton," I said. "I'll be here the whole time and if you need a brake you can just ask her. do you need anything else?"
"where's austin? he said he would be here."
"he's on his way. I was talking with him earlier. he will be here soon," he explained.
"okay," I said with a wince.
Colton's pov
she was slightly past my elbow when the door chimed, austin walked in.
"Colton, I'm sorry I'm late. we had an interview with morning and I forgot about it. I'm here now though," he smiled.
"don't worry about it. you're here now and that's what matters," I smiled through the pain. all of this was going to be worth it. I heard my phone go off and I asked mike to mass it to me because he had my bag.
'hey, Jakob and I saw your interview with austin! why didn't you tell us?!
-andrew'
'hey! I'm so sorry I didn't tell you! I've had a busy couple of weeks. did y'all get tickets for warped?
-Colton'
'omg yes!! are you on warped with pierce the veil?
-andrew'
'I am! are you at warped now?
-Colton'
'yes, where are you?
-andrew'
'well, PTV has two free days and I'm getting a tattoo done, I'm at <insert tattoo parlor> if you want to stop by.
-Colton'
'be there in no time! see you soon!
-andrew'
well, this ought to be fun. my real brother can meet my faux brothers. the artist was getting down closer to my scars and then she hit one. it hurt slightly less horrible than I thought, but still more painful than everywhere else.
the door chimed once more showing my boys.
"hello boys," I smiled. "it's so good to see you!"
"COLTON! it's been too long," Jakob said.
"it has. how's the relationship holding?"
"how do you think? we're perfect!" Andrew grabbed Jakob's hand.
"that's awesome! I do have something to break to you guys though," I sighed to make it seems like a horrible subject.
"what? are you okay?" Jakob said concerned.
"yes, I just wanted you to know that, Tony and I are dating," I giggled.
"for real?! you're not joking are you?" andrew asked.
"I'm a hundred percent serious."
"you can't be!" they were both protesting against the truth. they were known for that.
I turned to the artist and told her to pause for a minute and she did. I looked at Tony and placed my hand on his cheek. I kissed him gently on the lips, first I just wanted to kiss him, and second to prove a god damn point.
"you were serious," Jakob just stared at us.
"people never believe me when I tell the truth."
they hung around for a little bit longer but then they left to go back to warped. understandable.
the artist who I never caught the name of was down to where most of my scars were and it hurt, a shit load.
"hey, Colton, how are you holding up?" Tony asked. it was down to just austin, Tony, mike, and alan came by.
"it's okay, it's a not so painful painful, if that makes any sense. what I mean is the physical pain of this being done isn't as painful as the mental pain that brought me these scars. yea, that still doesn't make a bit of sense."
"Colton, it does. it makes perfect sense," alan insisted.
"okay, but I just want you to know that I've been clean for almost a month now. and it's thanks to you guys," I smiled.
"awesome," I heard a totally different voice say.
"TINO!" I was so happy! I've really only meet Tino once but he wanted to hang out today and I agreed.
"hey hey, I told you I was coming, and I didn't know you did this to yourself," he spoke softly.
"well, yea, but don't worry about me."
"you got it," he smiled. (honestly I love Tino so much, like irl)
I slightly hissed at the pain and Tony grabbed my hand again, I smiled at him and the artist was almost done.
the tattoo was finally finished, though through the pain there was beauty.
"tell me about it really quick," Austin asked.
"well, it's a forest scene with a buck at the start of a river and a frog sitting on a rock at the bottom. the forest is there because where ever in the states we were I always remember you and I going into the woods and just being together. the river is for my love of the ocean, just like you. the buck is for dad, he loved to hunt, and how we would go with him always making to much noise. then the frog is for mom, she loved every animal on this planet, and at one time we had a pet frog. his name was squish, I named him," I explained to everyone.
"oh Colton, it's beautiful," Austin said.
"so! where to know?" I asked. "wait, hold on." I turned to the lady and paid her. her name is Cecelia, and I followed her on Twitter. I thanked her and then we left to go hang out in the mall.
"guys! I want sushi. someone get me sushi," I was complaining but I didn't care. I'm a woman and I'm annoying. sometimes. but people get over it.
"okay! let's go," austin said piling us into a taxi and taking us to a sushi restaurant. we didn't do much for the rest of the day. of mice had it mostly free I think. I was already thinking of new tattoos and ideas. I mean I am an artist so things just kind of come to me easily.

AN // god! I haven't written in so long! I miss it so much. anyways I hope you all enjoyed. I'll try to grind out more updates tonight!
