~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Are you sure about this, Yuuji?"

You glanced over at your boyfriend as he sat in a chair next to the table where you were preparing your needle. A sly and confident smirk crept onto his lips as he gazed at you with a pair of brown eyes.

"I'm always sure about my decisions, (f/n), come on. How many times have we been in this situation?" he responded coolly, leaning back in the cushioned chair casually.

You rolled your own (e/c) eyes and focused your attention back on the task at hand. "I mean, you don't always make the best decisions," you muttered. When a shocked expression appeared on his features, you pointed to the lip piercing you'd given him a few months ago. "Getting a lip piercing wasn't the best choice since you love kissing me all the time."

Terushima pouted and slumped his shoulders. "Yeah, but it looks pretty cool..."

"And now you're going for a second ear piercing and an eyebrow piercing at the same time. I swear you're crazy," you commented, sliding an earring into a piercing gun after finishing preparing your needle for his eyebrow.

"At least I have a girlfriend who's crazy enough to let me do it and who'll do it for me." A playful wiggle of his eyebrows was enough to make you blush and scoff at him for being such an idiot.

Ever since the two of you had started dating over a year ago after Terushima had met you at a tattoo and piercing shop you worked in, he hadn't stopped bothering you for more piercings. His lip ring had only made him want more, so you'd waited for him to recover before appeasing him once again so he would shut up for a while. As cool and macho as he seemed to be, he was a total baby when it came to dealing with the aftermath of getting a piercing, and as much as he annoyed you from time to time, you loved him and didn't mind taking care of him.

Once you were ready, you disinfected his ears and placed tiny dots on them, next to where his first piercings were. After checking with him to make sure the placement was acceptable, you readied your piercing gun before shooting the earring through his left ear, then repeating the process on his right, making his breath hitch slightly in pain.

"Geez, (f/n), is there anything you could do to make that less painful?" Terushima complained as you slid the backs of the earrings onto his ears and examined your work.

"You're such a wuss sometimes," you told him and pressed a kiss against his lips, feeling the metal of his lip piercing against your own. When you tried to pull away, he refused to let you go, making you groan in frustration against his lips. "You're stalling."

He broke the kiss for a moment, giving you look that feigned a wounded expression. "I am not," he argued. Your lips had barely left his for more than ten seconds before he threw his head back and complained, "It hurts, (f/n)!"

"You're not gonna die, baby; you've got one left to go, and then you're done. Don't you want another one?" You stroked his cheek, being mindful of his glowing red ear, before moving your hand through his amber hair.

"Yeah, I do... I sure hope it looks cool..." he sighed. Before you could react, he put his hands on your waist and pulled you into his lap before burying his face in your chest and groaning loudly with dismay.

You rolled your eyes before reaching for your tools and disinfecting the skin on his eyebrow. You used one hand to tilt his chin up towards you slightly prior to grabbing the needle and carefully sticking it through the skin on his eyebrow as you pulled it taut. After listening to him groan, growl, and whine as you did your job, you looked at his piercings, priding yourself on doing such good work. You had to admit, an eyebrow piercing suited him quite well.

"Okay, you're all done," you assured him and rubbed his back soothingly. He didn't move, however, and only continued to whine, his voice muffled by the fabric of your shirt. "But you're obviously not done complaining, so I'll wait."

After letting him hold onto you for a few minutes, you wrestled your body out of his grip and started cleaning up your supplies. Eventually, he got up out of his chair and examined himself in a mirror before attaching himself to you like a child and refusing to let go of you. "(F/n), it hurts. Do something, please."

"What do you want me to do?" you questioned with exasperation as you walked over to the couch and sat down. He flopped down onto the couch next to you and pulled you into his lap again. "Yuuji, you should lay off on the piercings since you cry like a baby every time you get a new one..." you added under your breath.

"Will you kiss them better?" he pleaded, his brown eyes gazing into your own (e/c) ones with a longing stare. The look on his face was so pathetic that you gave in, peppering his face with gentle kisses, giving a bit more attention to the areas near his eyebrow and his ears while making sure not to kiss the piercings themselves. The last thing you wanted was for him to develop an infection and make him complain even more. "Will you always do this?"

"If it shuts you up for a couple of minutes, then yes," you answered honestly, making him frown with dissatisfaction. He couldn't keep that frown on his face for long, though, since he was getting exactly what he wanted. He always looked forward to your kisses and attending to him after getting another piercing.

As you pressed kisses against his lips, you felt a grin creep onto them, making you pull away and watch him inquisitively as he announced, "Well, then, I know where I want my next piercing."

"Where...?"

"My d—"

"No."

"Why not?!"

"Yuuji, are you stupid? Piercing your lips meant you had to give up kissing, so do you know what piercing that means?"

He sighed with dismay as his fingers played with the hem on your shirt. "Damn..." he muttered, "But is it worth it...?"

"You won't be getting any action if you get it pierced. Trust me."

"Not worth it."
