It was a cold winters day, the wind was blowing harshly and the ice glazing the sidewalks was making it difficult for people to walk without slipping. One of these people were Harry Styles, along with his friend Liam Payne. They had both decided to walk to their destination instead of drive, for whatever reason.
I was having a difficult time trying to keep my balance on the thickly iced over pavement. I was still wondering why in the world Liam would want to walk on a day like this. Okay...so maybe we both wanted to walk...but still. I took a deep breathe as I tried to remain focused on watching where I placed my feet. I glanced over at Liam who was watching me with a smirk on his face. "What?" I whined with a pout gracing my lips. He only shook his head and continued walking. I have no idea his he had convinced me to get a tattoo but he had and we were on our way right now to get it done. I huffed and stuffed my hands into my pockets, trying to return the feeling to my fingers. We both finally made it to the shop and we hurried inside, immediately met by a blast of warm air in our faces. I looked around slowly, my cheeks a bit rosy from the icy cold and my curls looking wind blown.
As soon as I had entered the tattoo shop my eyes rested on a young man a bit older then myself. I examined him closely in a matter of seconds and by the time I had finished my cheeks were crimson red. Gosh he was beautiful....every single thing about him, like literally. His hair, his perfect blue eyes, his little scruff, his lips...everything was just so perfect about this man. I blinked my eyes, trying to snap back to reality and hoping my jaw hadn't hit the floor. I looked down timidly and suddenly got too shy for my own good because Liam gave me a shove, causing me to stumble forward. "He's here for a tattoo.." Liam announced lazily and glanced over at the curly-haired lad.
"soo... what kinda tattoo you want babe?" the lad asked leaning over the counter he rested his chin on his hands. I almost squeaked in surprise when he called me 'babe' but managed only muffled sounds to escape my lips. I looked down, my curls hiding my bright green eyes as I tried to think of something to say. "Uh...Umm...I don't exactly know--Liam!" I squeaked and suddenly moved so that I was hiding behind my bestfriend. "Sorry." Liam apologized. "He's kinda...shy if you haven't already seen.." Liam mumbled and grabbed my arm and dragged me over towards Louis.
I made sure to stay completely hidden behind Liam. I peeked over his shoulder as Louis handed him the binder and Liam began to flip through the pages of different designs. I watched carefully with my shaded dark green eyes then pointed to a design of two birds. Liam glanced over his shoulder and smiled at me. "You sure Harry?" He asked and I nodded my head, as if I was set on the choice I made. "Alright then. He walked over to Louis and handed him the binder, then pointed at the design I wanted. "He wants that one--...wait Harry where do you want it?" Liam asked. I shrugged my shoulders and simply pointed to my chest. Liam nodded and glanced at Louis. "He'd like to have it on his chest." Liam glanced over at Niall and arched an eyebrow.
Niall bounced over. 'oooh! I wanna see!" he ripped he binder from Liam's hands and looked at the picture. "oooooh! I love that one!" he said happily. "okay, come on over here. your gonna need your shirt off, cause you want it on your chest right?" Niall spoke to me, patting the flat surface of the table/bed was.I nodded my head slowly and watched carefully with my green eyes. I slowly slipped off my jacket, then my shirt and walked over and laid down on the table. I looked up at the ceiling, trying to ignore the fact that Liam was pissed off. He always hated when people just took things from him, it annoyed him like crazy to be honest. I turned my head and gazed at the others quietly.
Niall got everything ready. "alright, so this part is easy. It wont hurt." he promised. he took the pen and looked at the drawing. "you want it up here, or on your stomach?" Niall said, motioning to my chest then to my stomach. I shrugged my shoulders. "Wherever...I don't c-care.." I spoke nervously, slightly stuttering. My cheeks flushed bright red as Niall handed Louis the needle and he began to work on the outline. I closed my eyes, noticing how close we were at the moment which only caused my heart to beat out of control. I opened my eyes an looked past Louis and stared at Liam. Liam had a smirk on his face as he watched me. He knew I was gay so he probably knew I was majorly attracted to him. I moved my head slowly and looked up at Louis silently.
Liam huffed in annoyance as Niall burped and he rolled his eyes. "Rude bastard.." He mumbled under his breathe.I looked away quickly and I sighed and took a deep breathe As Louis looked back at be blushing.Niall laughed loudly at Louis, hearing Liams comment but ignoring it. "oooh you've done it now Lou! now you just gotta stick your dick up there!" he laughed loudly, holding his stomach.
My eyes popped open when I heard Niall's comment and I looked over at him, my mouth gaping open slightly. My breathe hitched and I looked over at Liam who's eyes were just as wide as mine. Those images flashing through my head were definitely a turn on for me but I would not allow myself to be put through the embarrassment of actually being turned on by that.
Nialls laughs finally calmed to soft giggles. He skipped off to the back room, getting another sandwich from the mini fridge, He spun around in the desk chair, giggling happily.
Louis took a large, shaky breath. "im sorry about him... he can get a little... yeah..." he mumbled. "this might hurt a bit." he said, holding the needle over my skin. "tell me when your ready." he whispered softly, gulping. he shook my head slowly. "I-It's alright." I whispered and I nodded my head and stared down at the needle nervously. "I'm ready." I murmured quietly and chewed on my lip as I waited for the pain. I was never one able to handle a lot of pain so I was hoping it didn't hurt to bad. I looked up at him with my dark green eyes and managed a nervous smile.
Liam just took a seat in the waiting room with a newspaper in his hands.
After awhile, Niall bounced back out. He bounced over to Liam and sat very close to him. he peeked over his shoulder. "what'cha reading?" he asked cheerfully, grinning widely. I almost instantly relaxed when I felt Louis's hand on my hip. I nodded my head slowly and swallowed hard as I watched the needle move slowly against my pale skin. I winced slightly and gently squeezed him. The needle felt oddly strange, it felt cool at the touch but left a burning sensation afterwards. I looked up at him and I took a deep breathe as I nodded my head for him to start again.
Liam narrowed his eyes in annoyance and grumbled something under his breath. "It's a magazine." He murmured quietly and flipped through the pages slowly. Niall scoffed. 'well obviously. but what are you reading about?" he said, laying his head on his shoulder. "ooh, that guys fit." he said, pointing to a picture of Michael Bubble that was on the page.
I stared up at Louis blankly, completely relaxed by now. I closed my eyes and laid my head back as he began to trace over the second bird with the needle. By now I was used to the feel of the needle so it didn't bother me as much. I bit my lip, my chocolate brown curls spilling over my green eyes almost perfectly.
Liam glanced at Niall with an arched eyebrow, then glanced at the man on the page he had pointed to. "Yeah sure.." He muttered and shook his head, an irritated look on his face. Niall huffed, pulling away. 'what's your problem? like seriously. im just trying to be nice and you getting all pissy with me." he snapped, standing up. I gazed up at Louis as he stops and bites his lip while staring at me, our eyes meeting and butterflies erupting in the pit of my stomach. I blushed and managed a soft smile, my dimples appearing as my eyes sparkled. I looked away slowly when I heard Niall snap at Liam and I sighed quietly, wondering what Liam did now.
Liam looked up, to say he was surprised by Niall's outburst would be an understatement. He placed the magazine down and tilted his head. "Umm. I'm sorry?" Niall huffed. "you better be. your acting like you got something up your ass and I don't appreciate it." he snapped, storming off to the back room. he slammed the door, and sat down in the chair.
"your really cute, you know that?" Louis whispered, looking back down to finish tracing it. "im thinking that we could finish the details later so that the pain can ease a bit, yeah?" he said, setting the needle aside.I smiled and looked down timidly. "T-Tha is.." I whispered shakily then nodded my head as he set the needle down. "I'd like that." I mumbled and I sat up slowly, my chest slightly burning though I didn't mind it too much.
Liam frowned and he rolled his eyes as he leaned back in his seat and rubbed the side of his face with his hand. He was starting to regret ever bringing Harry here...they should have found another tattoo shop...
