Changbin POV
"Squeeze my hand if it hurts." I say while Felix nervously fidgets in the chair.
He nods. "Did it hurt you?" He asks.
"I'm not gonna lie, yeah. It still does hurt." I nod. "But it's not terrible. I've been through worse." I shrug.
"Binnie, I'm nervous. Can I close my eyes? And can you talk to me through it?" He begs.
"Yes, Baby. I'm not going anywhere."
Felix looks at the diamond stud on the table next to him, then back down at his hand. "Can I see yours again?"
I show him my hand, which was red from being on ice to keep it numb. My ring finger was a bit swollen and pulsing inside. I had a simple silver circle on my skin. He nods nervously.
"How are you two doing today?" The piercer asks while coming into the room.
"I'm okay.." Felix shifts uncomfortably in his seat.
I put my hand on my ice pack again, holding his hand tightly with my free hand. He bites his lip and kicks his feet cutely.
"Do you have any questions before we start?"
"Can it be numb?" He asks.
"It won't help until it's all done."
"Will I see any blood?" He squirms again.
"Baby, just close your eyes. I'll talk to you." I squeeze his hand softly.
He reaches for me. "I need a hug." He mumbles.
"Baby, relax. It's okay."
"Alright, so if there's no more questions, let's go ahead." She grabs Felix's hand and rolls up his sleeve.
His hands were trembling and he was visibly nervous. His eyes were teared up and watching me for reassurance. I hold his face and kiss his forehead.
"It's not that bad, Baby. I promise."
He squeezes his eyes shut. The piercer cleans his finger and draws a dot where it'll be. I hold his right hand firmly, giving him some comfort.
"Do you wanna count to three?"
He nods. He counts with me and watches as the tool goes into his finger. He lets out a soft whimper. I make him look at me.
"Hey, you're the one who suggested this. Don't look at it." I say.
He puts his head down so I play with his hair. He keeps his eyes squeezed shut. I kiss his head, separating the pink half from the white half with my hands. He huffs at me.
"You okay, Baby?" I ask.
He nods. I hold his head and mess up his part so the colors mix messily.
After it was done, he calms down. I wipe his face with my thumbs. He looks at his hand and then up at me.
"Look, I'm pretty." He says softly.
"You've been pretty. Come on, Baby. We can go show Seungmin, Jeongin, and Jisung." I smile softly.
He stands up and we bow to the worker. "Thank you." We say together.
"You're both very welcome." She smiles.
I hug his waist and we walk out of the shop with our newly pierced fingers. I kiss his neck and open his door for him. He gets in my car and lets me close his door. I go around to the driver's side and get in next to him.
"Binnie, I love you." He says while admiring his new accessory.
"I love you more, Baby." I smile.
I hold his hand, careful of his stud. He crosses his legs, adjusting his ripped jean skirt. He seems to have an extra bit of sparkle in his pretty eyes. The way he smiles seems really genuine.
He looks at me. "We have to tell my moms!"
"They don't know?!" I glance at him while I drove on.
"Maybe? I haven't said anything about it on my Instagram."
"Do you wanna talk a few pictures?" I offer.
He nods. "We can go to the café and take pictures there."
"You just want coffee." I roll my eyes. "But, yeah, we can go to the the café for pictures." I kiss his hand.
