You're All I've Got

Chapter 6: Tattoo Shop

Jellal's P.O.V.

God, yes. It was a Saturday morning. I attempted to wash the sleepiness off of me first. I got off from my bed and went to the bathroom to shower. I took my time thinking about the possible things we could do today. Saturday was the day that almost the whole world's population hoped for besides Friday, am I right? So, what could we do today. Gah, I can't think of anything. My brain is not built like Phineas and Ferb's imagination. Maybe we could.. aghh I don't really know.

I turned off the shower and dried myself up outside the shower curtains. I looked at the reflection in the mirror and thought. Wow, I could really use a tattoo.

Maybe we could get out to have tattoos planted in our skins. Not the ones that are black and I prefer having a simple one at my face. The ones that are legal for our age, too. Yeah.. It's better than doing nothing in a weekend. I covered my  waist with a towel and stepped out to pick my outdoor clothes.

Once I slipped it in, I, as usual, have another evil scheme to wake up Erza. No doubt that she's still asleep.  Never in my years of staying with this female being that I had encountered her awake before me. So, I had one in mind. I could already hear Erza's annoyed scream waiting for me.

I walked around my room, and luckily, I found what seems to be impossible to find, a bubble set. I shook the bottle if it still contained liquid soap inside. Fuck yes, it was still full. Although, I don't remember owning a bubble set. Well, it doesn't matter anymore. Now all I have to do is silently step into Erza's room and blow some bubbles on her face. I could already see her demonic expression in my mind, knowing it through my years living with her.

I crept inside her room and my expression turned poker face when I found not a soul on the bed. Could it be? She woke up earlier than I did?  I searched everywhere, but she's nowhere to be found. Then, I figured she might have been in the bathroom. I knocked at the door, no answer. I knocked again, but this time a bit stronger. Still mute.

So, I tried calling out her name. Silence. Goddammit, where is she--

A pair of limbs circled my body and neck. What the fuck does she think she's doing? She had a strong grip and her laughter was hysterical.

"Hah! I got you back! And I got your back! HAHA I'M SO GREAT." I heard her say and I struggled.

"Alright, alright.. just... stop.." I choked pretentiously so that she could let go. She eventually did and rested in her bed. She continued laughing and I had to wait for her to cool down. Even when I'm actually the one who's supposed to rest. "You are incredibly stronger than you look." I rotated my shoulders to show how it was affected.

"Why thank you. No one's ever said that to me before," she replied with a teasing smile.

I giggled before saying, "Anyways, it's a weekend. And maybe we could go and have tattoos done?" I suggested.

Then she had that 'are-you-fucking-kidding-me' look on her face. "Are you serious? I've never even thought of having tattoos, like seriously. Do you think Mom would actually allow us? Specifically, me?"

I shrugged. "Just chill. I am not referring to the complicated and black tattoos. I just want a simple one. On my face. And you could have one yourself."

"I don't know. I better ask Mom about it then." She folded her arms across her chest.

"Alright."

I'm driving to the nearest tattoo shop I could find with Erza riding shotgun. Yes, Eve allowed us to go and have tattoos done. To be honest, I didn't really think she would consider this. But I'm quite relieved she didn't decline.
