Bubblegum Gun // NovaHD

1. the bubblegum killer

"The Bubblegum Killer has outdone themselves again. This month there has been already 13 kills, which is a record. The killer is very sneaky and always gets away from the police. The only thing they leave behind are some old school bubblegum wrappers and the bullets found from the victims are pink. But with those clues, the police hasn't got anything. Most of the victims are men and rarely there have been women. This killer has been on loose for 3 years now. If you have any clues about the killer, do not hesitate to contact the police."

Aleksandr sighed and turned the TV off. He leaned back into his leather chair in the staff room and took a sip of his coffee.

"Man, that killer sure is sneaky" Eddie said, "and a mysterious one too. I mean, they leave behind those old school bubblegum wrappers and pink bullets." he added.

Aleks nodded, "Yeah, kinda interesting to me."

"How come?"

"I don't know. I mean sure they kill people and shit, but it's still interesting that they leave behind those bubblegum wrappers and pink bullets." Aleks replied.

"Ooh, that's true man." Eddie said and ate his sandwich.

"Aleksandr! A customer is here for his appointment!" a female voice called for Aleks.

Aleks finished his coffee and stood up, leaving his coffee cup in the sink. He grabbed his phone and headed towards the exit, "Well, I'll see you later, Eddie." he said and waved at his best friend before he left.

"See you man!" he heard Eddie yell.

"Hi, I'm Aleksandr Marchant. I'll be doing your tattoo today." Aleks introduced himself to the mysterious but pretty looking guy. The guy had his dark brown hair in a man bun and he wore a flower crown. He also wore some tight black jeans and a baby blue oversized sweater.

"Hey. I'm James Wilson, nice to meet you." the guy smiled sweetly as they shook hands.

"Take a seat while I prepare the needles. What kind of tattoo are you going for, dude?" Aleks asked while he went to prepare the said needles.

James took a seat and watched as Aleks prepared the tattooing stuff, "I've thought about this flower design for my inner right arm." he said and when Aleks walked back to him he showen a piece of paper with the said design on it.

Aleks took the paper and studied the flower design. He thought that it would look good on James.

"I think it would look good on you." Aleks grinned and James let out a small giggle before he smiled.

"Thanks, man."

Aleks watched as James rolled up the sweater sleeve of his right arm, revealing many faint pink lines. Aleks' eyes widened a little and he frowned at James.

"They- they are old scars. I used to be depressed and all that shit. I just want to get a tattoo to hide the bad memories. You.. you'll help me, right?" James mumbled and looked straight into Aleks' eyes.

Aleks was quiet for a moment before he gave James a small smile and said "Yeah, of course." and began to work on the tattoo. He cleaned the spot before applying the lines and beginning to work with the needles and ink.

"Just- tell me to stop if it'll hurt, okay?" Aleks said and James nodded. As the needle neared James' skin, the said man whispered a small "wait" and Aleks stopped and looked up.

James hand was in his jean pocket, searching for something. He pulled out a small piece of bubblegum wrapped in a old school wrapping. He unwrapped it and popped the bubblegum in his mouth and threw the wrapping into the trash can.

"Bubblegums help me to keep myself calm. Been doing this since I was a kid." James told Aleks. The Russian just chuckled and began to work on the tattoo, being extra careful with the scars.

About one and a half hours later, the tattoo was finished. Aleksandr was proud of his work. It was actually his first experience with tattooing on scars. Especially cutting scars.

"It looks amazing. Thank you." James smiled as he admired the tattoo.

"Glad you like it." Aleks said and watched as James stood up and pulled his sleeve down. He re-adjusted his flower crown and once again shook hands with Aleks, as a thank you. Aleks walked James to the tattooing room's door.

"Hey um, do you want to maybe have some coffee today or.. tomorrow? Or whenever you are free." Aleks shyly asked. James smirked and crossed his arms, leaning against the wall.

"Really now?"

Aleksandr nodded, waiting for James' response.

"I know I'm amazing and all, but yeah sure, why not." James said. He grabbed a ball pen from the table near him and gently took Aleks' hand and wrote down his number.

"I'm free tomorrow. I have some business to do later today. But you can already text me today." James winked and left with a giggle of "bye".

Aleksandr scored himself a nice guy.

Yes! A new killer au story? Yes indeed. This time with a twist. Totally not related to my other killer au. Seriously, it's not. Anyways, I'm really proud of the book cover I did - I reaaaally love it! Probably the best one I have done after Supreme Days' cover. I have so many stories that I am currently writing but to update this more often, I will make the chapters short. Kinda similiar to You're Lovely book.

Also, here is the tattoo that I gave James.
