Cactus Butt

Alexithymiaa: -Steph climbed out of Felix's Jeep, shutting the door behind her and quickly making her way to the door beside the grocery store. Stepping inside, she held the door open for him to come in behind her and get out of the winter cold, giving a little shiver herself. "You have a pretty sick mind, Arizona."-
Covet: Felix followed shortly behind her, catching the door as he walked in. "Why does it have to be so cold?" He complained then looked at her with a mock offended look, "Don't act like you didn't know this going in this relationship. I told you from day one that I have a very sardonic mind." Felix walked behind her on the stairs until they made it to the top where the shop door was, and walked in.
Alexithymiaa: "Okay, but at no point going into this relationship did I anticipate you to suggest couples suicide when we get old." She stepped up the stairs to the shop, stepping inside and looking around. "Derek?" She called out as she walked further in to see him at the counter on her left. // Derek turned away from the drawing he was working on when he heard them coming in, sending a warm smile and a wave. "Heyyyy, hows it going?" He asked as he stepped down the stairs and walked over to them, giving Steph a quick hug and offering Felix his hand for a bro shake slap thing.-
Covet: "Wow, that's the only thing you didn't anticipate about me?" Felix asked her, with an impressed look, then furrowed his brow, "Am I really that predictable?" He turned to look at the guy doing the bro shake slap thing with him. "It's going cold, and getting colder." Such a whiner.
Alexithymiaa: "I didn't say that was the only thing I didnt anticipate." She said with a nudge before leaning in to hug Derek back. "Ignore him, he's been complaining about it being cold since like October." She spoke with a roll of her eyes. "Did you get what I sent you?" // "Hey, I don't hold it against you. I'm cold too." He turned and stepped back up to the stairs, picking up the transfer he'd made from the semi colon image she sent him. "Yep. Just need to figure out your placement here. Go sit."-
Covet: "It's because it has been cold since like October. I didn't get warm enough over Christmas in Arizona to make it last either." He told Steph. Following them both up the steps over to where his station was He stood back with his hands in his pocket while they got the stencil situated. "It's going on her head, so try not to rattle her brain too much, she actually has one, and between the two of us we need all we can get. I'm a serious disadvantage to her." Felix smirked.
Alexithymiaa: (HAH)
Alexithymiaa: -She walked up the steps and over to the chair to sit down, tipping her head forward so he could situate the transfer behind her left ear. "You know that felt like a compliment, but I'm not entirely sure." // Derek carefully applied the transfer to the skin behind her ear, making sure it was straight and peeling it off. "So you're making up for brains now? I feel like everyone in your life is at a disadvantage to you." He said with a laugh, picking up the handheld mirror so she could use it to see. "How's that look?"-
Covet: "It was definitely a compliment." Felix said to her with a cheeky grin as she sat down and Derrek got the stencil put in place and held up the mirror. "It looks good from where I'm at." He said as he leaned over to look.
Alexithymiaa: -She picked up the mirror to look, giving her head a nod. "I like it. Go crazy." She said as she passed the mirror back to him and leaned her head down for support to stay still. She reached her hand out for Felix, closing her eyes. "Knew I could count on you to give confusing compliments." // Derek nodded and prepped his gun, dipping it into the black ink before leaning forward. "This one is going to be worse than the one on your foot so just.. let me know if you need a break." The sound of buzzing filled the air as he pressed it to the side of her head, beginning to outline the shapes.-
Covet: "Again, predictable. I seriously need to fix this... " He mumbled and reached out for her hand, watching Derek while he dipped the needle and then started in on the lines. He anticipated her squeezing his hand when it started, and his face scrunched up because it looked painful. Dude can get punched in the face multiple times, but tattoos ON OTHER PEOPLE make him worry.
Alexithymiaa: -She definitely winced and squeezed his hand when Derek started on the tattoo, clenching her jaw tightly. "So then do something unpredictable if it bothers you so much." She spoke through gritted teeth. // Derek focused on the lines as he worked, getting the outline done pretty quickly and redippign his needle into the black ink.-
Covet: "Maybe I will." Felix said giving her glare, not that she could see it. He squeezed her hand back and looked at the clean outline that Derek had done. "Be happy it's just something little you decided on."
Alexithymiaa: "Honestly, I don't know if i could take this for longer than something little. This is far worse than other of my other tattoos. And I thought my ribs hurt..." She mumbled, chewing on the inside of her cheek. // Derek shaded in one part of the symbol, keeping his hand on the side of her head to keep her stable. "Almost done. I know it's a bitch."-
Covet: "There's no muscle to help cushion the needle." Felix told her rubbing her hand with his thumb. "You doing alright there, Babe?" He asked sincerely.
Covet: [MY BAD I didn't hit enter]
Alexithymiaa: "I know that..." She spoke with a bit of edge to her voice because pain. Exhaling deeply when Derek pulled away from her head, she pried her eyes open to look up at Felix. "Yeah... sort of. This definitely sucks." She glanced at Derek to see him putting the gun down and beginning to take the needle out of it, raising her brows. "Is it finished?" // Derek nodded his head, removing his gloves and tossing the needle into the trash to begin cleaning his station. "It's finished. Go look."-
Covet: "Not regretting your decision though are you?" He asked her as he pried his hand away from hers so he could stretch his fingers out. Looking at Derek and his gear, "You wouldn't happen to be able to squeeze something in real quick tonight would you?" Felix asked him.
Alexithymiaa: "Definitely not regretting it. It just hurts." She slipped off the table and walked to the mirror so she could look at the small ink behind her ear, her smile spreading across her face. "It's perfect. Thank you Derek." She turned back to look at Felix, raising her brows. "You want a tattoo?" // Derek lifted his head, giving a small shrug. "Sure. As long as it's not like a sleeve or something. What did you have in mind?"-
Covet: "You said I should do something unpredictable." Felix said with a shrug then looked at Derek. "It can just be an outline or something. I want the traditional heart that says Mom on it." He said to him, clearly something working in his brain.
Alexithymiaa: (The amount of facepalming Im doing right now.)
Covet: [XD]
Alexithymiaa: "Arizona... being unpredictable and getting a tattoo on a whim aren't really the same thing. You don't even have any tattoos... your first shouldn't be something you pulled out of your ass. And I have a feeling your mom might have something to say about yur choice." // Derek looked at Felix and then Steph, holding up his hands. "Do you want a minute to think this over?"-
Covet: "I think they kind of are the same thing at least a little bit. I know I don't have any tattoos." He told shaking his head, then grinned at her, "You're right it shouldn't It should be something I put on my ass instead. It's going to be her valentine's day present. She'll love it." Felix said waving his hand. as he looked at Derek, "Nope, I'm pretty solid on this idea. Make it look fancy, and we can add color to it later.
Covet: it shouldn't. It should be*
Alexithymiaa: -She lifted her hand to rub her fingers into her forehead, letting out a sigh. "Please don't get mom on your ass... how is she ever going to look at you the same?" // Derek started gingerly preparing his gun with a fresh needle, pulling a new pair of gloves onto his hands. "Wait so... on your ass or not on your ass?"-
Covet: "Steph, I love you. But I need to do this." Felix told her as he untied the shirt from his waist, and handed over to her before undoing his pants. "You say that like she doesn't arleady do that." He grinned and nodded to Derek, "It's totally going on my ass, Dude. Can you make it no bigger than the size of a coaster. "
Alexithymiaa: -She let out a very deep disappointed sigh because poor Rochelle, reaching out to take his shirt and fold it in her hands. "I think the incredible part about this is I never realized how much like your mother you actually are..." She took a seat down on the stool, continuously shaking her head. "I'm not telling her about this." // Derek reached over to get a standard heart transfer because he had things like that all over the place, patting the tattoo bed. "Lay down and we'll get this going then. Oddly enough this isn't the first mom tattoo I've done on someone's ass."-
Covet: Felix pulled his pants and boxers down enough to expose a cheek as he laid down on the bed. He looked at Steph, "What do you mean by that? Of course you're not telling her. It's going to be a surprise for her and I'll tell her." Felix said then looked back at Derek, "Oh really... hmm... can you make the heart look like a cactus?"
Alexithymiaa: "I mean I'm not going to tell her I was with you when you came up with this." She spoke as she watched him, wincing when he asked about it being a cactus. // Derek just kind of shrugged. "Got a picture I can look at?" He asked as he put his gun together.-
Covet: "I'll tell her you did your best to talk me out of it. But I'm too stubborn." Felix said, "What did you mean about how much like my mother I am?" He followed up as he pulled his phone out to look up a photo of what he wanted. "Okay so like this but with the traditional style banner for Mom to go on, across the middle. " [https://image.shutterstock.com/z/stock-vector-cactus-heart-free-hugs-644860384.jpg ] " Felix explained to Derek
Alexithymiaa: -Steph gave a quick shrug, trying to brush off the topic. "You just have similiar senses of humor, that's all." She walked over to look down at what Felix had shown Derek on his phone, sighing deeply. // "No problem." He said as he looked at Felix's phone, applying the heart transfer before leaning to in begin buzzing that ass.-
Covet: "Oh, Yea----Ouch that stings like fuck." Felix said as he turned around to look at his ass, scrunching up his face. "You let him do this to your head?" He asked her, while he did his best to grin and bear it.
Alexithymiaa: -She leaned over and put her hand on top of his, unable to stop her grin from spreading across her face. "You're such a baby. It's not that bad. It's not even a place that actually hurts." She leaned down and pressed a kiss to his cheek. // Derek worked quickly since it was a fairly simple design, grabbing for a wider needle to replace it so he could begin shading. "Just hold still."-
Covet: Felix looked at her, and sighed, "Yeah but it still stings, and kind of burns. Is it supposed to feel like that?" He asked doing his best to keep still. The shading didn't bother him as bad, with multiple needles it covered a bigger area than a single needle dragging across the skin.
Alexithymiaa: "It's fine." She leaned over to look at Derek's work, shaking her head again. "I can't believe you're doing this." She spoke before looking back down to his face. "I will never insinuate that you're predictable ever again." // Wiping off the excess ink with a paper towel, Derek finished off the shading of the banner before neatly printing 'Mom' across the center beginning to laugh when he was finished. "This is definitely the first mom heart cactus I've done. And I've done a lot of weird shit. I put that octopus with a monocle on your brother's back." He said as he nodded to Steph. "Go take a look and let me know what you think."-
Covet: Grinning up at Steph he puckered his lips for a kiss, "That's right you won't." When Derek was finished he looked over his shoulder at his ass, then got up so that he could go look in the mirror. "That's fucking perfect. Thanks Man." Felix said then looked at Steph, "You're going to have to show me how to take care of this, cause I have no idea what I'm doing." looking back at Derek he asked, "How much do I owe you?
Covet: "*"
Alexithymiaa: "I will help you take care of it." She leaned in to give him a kiss before looking at Derek to tell her how much her tattoo was as well. // Derek pulled his gloves off to toss into the trash, reaching for one of the printed sheets of tattoo care guide to hand over to Felix. "Pretty straight forward. But uhhh... I guess forty for yours anddd.." He trailed off as he thought, looking at Steph. "Twenty for yours? Yours was barely anything."-
Covet: He took the paper from Derek and pulled out his wallet after getting his pants put back in place and what not after the tattoo was covered and protected. He whined about that too. Handing over the cash for both his and hers, since it was convenient and his wallet was out, she could throw a twenty at him later, he nudged her, "You popped my tattoo cherry, Red. "
Alexithymiaa: (I read your statement and just thought 'stripper')
Covet: [HAHA]
Alexithymiaa: -She opened her mouth to protest against him paying Derek for her tattoo since she brought money with her for this specific purpose, but quickly closed it when she just assumed she'd buy him food or whatever at some point. Relationship stuff, yo. She started to shake her head. "I don't want anyone to know I was here for that tattoo..." She mumbled as she slipped her hand into his, beginning to drag him toward the door. "Thanks D! I'll talk to you tomorrow." // Derek took the cash from Felix and stuffed it into his pocket, waving at the two on their way out. "Later!"-
