Lucifer's Loves

Part 1

I look up at the tattoo shop sign.
Pretty curling black letters read;
the Inked Heart.
     "Second thoughts?" My brother asks smirking "Not to late to back out"
    "You wish" I shoot back, crossing my arms
     "If your sure, I can always hold your hand" his tone and smile are teasing but his eyes are genuinely worried. I shove his shoulder and open the door. A bell tings, ringing softly around the room.
It's well lit with soft lighting and candles, squishy arm chairs and binders filled with tattoo designs, are stashed in one corner.
As Lucifer heads to the binders, my animagus friend Jhair comes out of the back
     "Ha! You finally got him in here, I'm looking forward to examining his heavenly body more closely"
She grins, she looks good in her backless skater dress, showing off the tattoo I did for her last week and she finally stopped hiding her cat ears and tail.
I slap her
    "Quit it! Him and Draculorum are perfect together so hands off! And all I had to say I was getting one, and he jumped right in" I smirked
     "Ok fine" She pouts "so did you tell him most of this is you?"
I draw almost all the tattoo designs and do tattoos on the weekends.
I haven't told Lucifer because he is all powerful and I'm just... me. Plus he would get over protective.
    "No" I mutter "Don't you dare say anything, or I won't tattoo that guy your trying to get me to hook up with"
That shut her up and she grabbed Armias from the back to help prep the needles.
I grab a binder and go sit next to my brother. He's flipping through some flower designs.
     "The big bad angel who fell...looking at flowers" I tease
    "Oh shut up I'm just um.....exploring my options" he mumbles
I grin and hold up my design
     "I'm getting this, wanna match?"
He looks doubtfully at the curling thorns and roses.
      "Oh come on you could get a single one"
He sighs but reluctantly agrees, following me to the tattooing chairs
I stretch out on the worn leather, trying to situate my wings as Armias slips latex gloves on with a snap. It's weird being the one getting the tattoo
    "Serephina" I turn and see actual fear in my big brothers eyes
     "I don't know about this"
I smirk "Luci it's fine Jhair has you covered" he looks at me, his glowing red eyes fearful.
Feeling a tap on my shoulder I turn seeing Armias blushing
   "I'll need you to...um...take off...your shirt...So I can...um...reach your collarbone." He mumbles his face bright pink.
   "Oh uh sure" I say forcing my hair not to erupt. I slide my shirt over my head, thanking Satan that I was wearing a sports bra.
The fear in my brothers eyes fades a bit when he sees me in a bra. He glares at Armias, who blushes to the roots of his horns.
I scrunch my face at him and he does it back, stretching out his hand nervously. Rolling my eyes I take it as Jhair starts on his ankle.
The fallen angel squeezes my hand hard, clamping his mouth shut to keep from screaming. Armias tilts my head back and works on my collar. It feels pretty painful, but not as bad as I thought considering how much Lucifer was squirming.
After half an hour of his occasional yelping Jhair helps him up, leading him to a seat near me so he can watch.
    "How are you not screaming"
He asks looking horrified.
"He is practically stabbing you in the neck!"
     "It's not that bad" I grumble "just a bunch of bee stings" he rolls his eyes, watching the needle carefully.
Armias finishes and passes me my shirt, turning to busy himself with cleaning the tattoo needle.
I look into the round mirror. It looks good, really good. The roses match my ombré hair and are done perfectly, Armias outdid himself.
I slide my shirt back on and walk with Lucifer to the front to pay. He keeps groaning and wincing when the skin on his ankle moves. Jhair takes our money and gives us pamphlets on cleaning and healing, I step around the counter to give her a hug.
     "That brother of yours is even better looking up close" she jokes
I glare at her, glancing at him but he is to busy reading the pamphlet.
     "Very funny, I'll see you Saturday" I reply
     "It looks good" She says pointing at the roses
     "Armias out did himself" I say
     "Oh yes I might have you one for do me" She says spacing out.
I roll my eyes and lead Lucifer out of the shop.
     "I still can't believe you went through that whole thing without screaming" he says rubbing his scars unconsciously
     "I'm tougher that you, ya big baby" I retort "wanna get another?"
   "Hell no" he says hastily
I just smile.
