tattoo pt 2

"Are you sure it won't hurt that much, hyung?"

"For the thousandth time," Yoongi sighed with a smile, "it feels like cat scratches. You've gotten plenty of those from Syubbie. If you're really sure, then you'll be fine. Are you sure, Jiminie?" Yoongi glanced at Jimin, then looking back at the road. "It's not a really obvious place but tattoos aren't exactly... legal."

"Yeah, I'm sure, hyung. I really am." Jimin smiled and rubbed at his wrist. "It'll be worth the pain. It might even look badass with my scar." Jimin held up his hand and inspected the stitches' scar from the glass incident.

Yoongi chuckled. "No matter what, anything will look badass on you, Jimin-ah. Especially with your chubby cheeks."

Jimin blushed and covered his cheeks with his hands. "Stop it, hyung," he whined.

"Aww, Jiminie. I love your fluffy little cheeks." He begged, "Don't hide them, baby."

Jimin smiled and looked at his lap. "Whatever, Yoon. Shhh."

They pulled into the driveway of Yoongi's friends' house. Yoongi and Jimin got out of the car and the younger took Yoongi's hand. They made their way to the door and Yoongi knocked a few times.

"I still can't believe you got that tattoo from a friend of yours." Jimin rubbed his thumb over Yoongi's fingers nervously.

Yoongi snorted. "Yeah, but you're about to get one too."

"Yeah. You're right." Jimin laughed at his own hypocrisy.

Yoongi's friend opened the door. "Hey, Yoon!" He looked over at Jimin. "Jimin, right? I'm Chanyeol." He extended his hand towards Jimin. He had a bright, friendly grin on his face. He was taller than both of them and covered in tattoos.

Jimin shook his hand nervously. "Hi." He gave him a smile and watched him closely. His whole demeanor was chill and completely laid back. Jimin relaxed.

"Come on in, guys, and we'll get you that tattoo." Chanyeol smiled sweetly and led them inside.

Jimin looked at the walls in the room. They were covered in all different tattoo designs and framed pictures of people with the tattoos themselves. Jimin's mouth kind of gaped as he looked around. There were also displays and posters of piercings.

"Wow, Chanyeol hyung. You're so talented. You do piercings too?" Jimin asked.

"Thank you, Jimin! You're too kind. Yes, I do needle piercings." Chanyeol smiled. "Do you know what you'd want?"

"I want a matching tattoo to Yoongi hyung's, but on my wrist if that's okay."

Chanyeol nodded. "Alright, done! Same script and everything?"

"Yeah. That'd be great."

Yoongi rubbed Jimin's back as the two talked, happy that Jimin had liked his surprise enough to want to get one himself.

"Alright. Let's get you seated." Chanyeol led Jimin to the chair and sat him down. "Ever gotten a tattoo before, Jimin-ah?"

Jimin shook his head. His eyes scrunched up. He was playing with his fingers and switched to scratching the back of his neck.

"Nervous?" Chanyeol asked, getting out his supplies.

"A little," Jimin shrugged. He bit his lip, enough to make it bleed.

Chanyeol smiled that bright grin of his once again. "Don't be. It won't hurt that much." Chanyeol started sanitizing Jimin's wrist.

The situation hit him fully then. Jimin smiled even though his stomach started to turn. He reached out his other hand to Yoongi blindly, who took it immediately. Chanyeol didn't notice, or if he did, he didn't say anything. Yoongi kissed Jimin's hand as Chanyeol winked at Jimin and gave him a countdown.

Jimin looked over at Yoongi with worried eyebrows and mouthed "Daddy". Yoongi nodded and smiled softly.

"It'll be okay, Jiminie." Yoongi squeezed Jimin's hand and kissed his knuckles reassuringly.

"That was so easy! It barely hurt at all! I love it." Jimin squealed, looking at the irritated tattoo on his wrist.

Yoongi kissed his cheek. "It looks great, honey." Yoongi looked up at Chanyeol and sighed with a smile. "Thanks, Chan hyung. How much do I owe you?"

Chanyeol waved his hand. He crossed his arms and tilted his head to the side, smiling. "It's nothing. On me."

"You sure?" Yoongi pressed. He looked down at Jimin again, who was smiling brightly at his wrist. Chanyeol really deserved the money.

Chanyeol nodded sincerely. "Totally."

"Thank you so much, Channie hyung!" Jimin looked up at Chanyeol with awe.

The oldest grinned, a little stunned at how beautiful Jimin's smile was.

"I should get another one, Daddy," Jimin exclaimed. "On my entire back or something. Like a tough tiger! I bet Taetae would love that."

Chanyeol barely batted an eyelid at the name. Jimin kept smiling up at Yoongi despite the way Yoongi's smile faltered.

He hesitated a moment before shaking his head. "You're very funny, Jimin-ah."

"No, Daddy! I'm not kidding! What about one on the back of my neck or my chest? Wouldn't that look great?" Jimin bounced in his seat, clearly excited by the idea. He didn't even realize the mistake he kept making.

"You're kidding me, right, babe?" Yoongi put his hands on the back of Jimin's chair.

"Of course not." Jimin pouted. "Can I, Daddy? Please?"

Yoongi's hands tightened on the chair at the name. He shook his head again. "Absolutely not."

Jimin continued to frown. "What about a piercing then? Like a, um... Channie, what are those nose thingies called? In the middle?" Jimin asked, turning to Chanyeol. He poked his nose a few times.

Chanyeol giggled good-naturedly at him, disregarding everything. "Septum."

"Yeah, that!" Jimin said. "Can I?"

Yoongi looked at him like he was insane. "What? Baby, no!"

Jimin pouted and sunk down in his chair. "You never let me do anything fun, Daddy."

"What do you mean?! I just let you get a tattoo! And I let you have a cat named fucking Syub."

"You act like you didn't pick the name out yourself, Daddy!" Jimin convicted.

Chanyeol snorted and turned to Yoongi. "Syub? Really, Yoon?"

Yoongi blushed a bit. "It's... a good name!"

Chanyeol waved him off, laughing. "It's alright. I think you should listen to your Daddy, Jiminie. He seems to know what he's talking about."

Jimin sighed and nodded. "I guess you're right. Thank you, Channie hyung."

Chanyeol patted his shoulder. "Anytime, Jiminie. When Daddy says it's okay, of course."

Yoongi looked at Chanyeol thankfully. Chanyeol just nodded with a slight smile.

"Let's go, Jiminie." He kissed Jimin's forehead.

Jimin nodded. He jumped out of the chair and held his hands behind his back. "Mm'kay, Daddy."

Chanyeol led them back to the door. Jimin and Yoongi said their goodbyes and got into the car. Chanyeol waved before he closed the door.

Yoongi held out his hand, asking to see Jimin's hand. Jimin gave it to him happily. Yoongi kissed the red, puffy skin around the ink carefully.

"Thank you, Daddy."

Yoongi smiled. He pulled the car out of the driveway and started on the way back home.

"Oh, and you will definitely be getting a punishment for talking back so much."

Jimin groaned and threw his head back against the seat. Yoongi chuckled and drove them home.
