{𝐘/𝐧} 𝐰𝐨𝐤𝐞 𝐮𝐩 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐊𝐚𝐭𝐬𝐮𝐤𝐢 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞. It wasn't the best departing due to the two still being quite tired. But they gave their 'see you later' and went about their day.

The {S/t} female had an appointment this morning and she had to get there early to set up. She grabbed a oversized Lil Uzi shirt and some cargo pants. She pulled on a zip up hoodie as well since it was quite cold outside.

She made your way to the shop, stopping a few times to grab a light breakfast. When she finally arrived she saw the #2 hero outside with a kid your age conversing in front of her shop.

She had to admit the kid looked scary from a distance, but his aura said something different. He had shoulder length beige hair and was quite pale. However, the most noticeable feature was that his teeth was on the outside of his skin. Though she thought it was cool.

"And they were roomat- OH! good morning {Y/n}!" spoke the #2 hero. "Mornin', you're early" she said while unlocking the door and letting the two in. Hawks walked in freely while the other one was quite hesitant.

"You gonna come in?" she asked, and he quickly stepped inside, giving a small 'sorry' as he walked pass her. The two traveled along the shop before Hawks spoke up "Your shop is even better from the inside!" he exclaimed while walking around looking at everything in awe.

"Thanks, you can take a seat. I need to prepare everything." she said to Hawks then turned to the boy that tensed when her eyes landed on him. "You can sit wherever or look around. Feel free to explore." she gave him a small smile before going to collect the needles and ink.

"Um, actually" he spoke up, his voice soft and low. She turned to face him and raised a brow silently telling him to continue. "I'm Juzo Honenuki. I wanted to apply for a job here." he said scratching the back of his neck.

"Oh?" was her only response. To say the girl was surprised was an understatement. Nobody came in the shop wanting a job, so this was fairly new. She never hired anyone before and had no clue what the process was to doing so.

"Alright, um." she looked around the shop for a bit before her eyes were able to land on something useful. She pointed to a desk in the corner with multiple tracing paper on it. "You can trace out a design and I'll see what you got going on" she said.

Silently she was cheering herself on in her head. Who knew she could be so professional?

He looked a little shocked at her words question it. It was her shop and if this is how he was going to get employed then so be it. He was a bit scared, however. Suddenly having to make a design that would please someone as talented as that has a lot of pressure to it.

{Y/n} on the other hand went to get the needles and ink. She sat beside Hawks and set her equipment on the table and put a grip on the tattoo machine. "Okay so what are you getting today and where" she asked setting out different colors of ink.

"I was thinking a bird figure with like orange in the middle and I want it here" he said while pointing to the side of his rib cage. 'does he not have a picture?' she thought as she poured some of the ink out. Sighing she got up and grabbed her tracing book.

She flipped to a drawing she did a while back and ripped the page out. She placed it on the area he pointed to and put some baby oil on it to transfer it to his skin. "You ready?" she asked. It was a habit she never broke.

He gave her a nod before she asked the next question. "Comfortable?" and he again replied with a nod. Therefore you started.

- Timeskip

"Okay, you're done. You can look at it now." And with that she walked away to get some lotion. Hawks turned to the mirror and looked at his new tattoo. He stood there amazed at the pure talent she had.

It was just how he pictured it, but better. Juzo, the kid he was talking to earlier, came to look at the tattoo once the artist was out of sight. He looked in awe of the colors and design, he could only imagine how she would react to seeing ... his. "She's amazing" he said breathless.

"She's a natural. It looks just how I pictured it" he said admiring the tattoo a little more before the {H/c} haired female came back in. She held some plastic wrap in her left hand and some lotion in her right.

"Okay stand still" she said. She placed some lotion on her hands and lightly rubbed the tattoo. Her touch sent shivers down his spine. It was soft, as to not hurt the tattoo or the wearer pain. 'boy would that touch feel good somewhere els-'

Hawks quickly got the image out his mind as she grabbed the plastic wrap and placed a piece over the fresh tattoo. "I suggest taking it easy for a little." she then picked up the lotion she used "This will stop it from flaking and crusting. So apply it at least 3 times a day. Morning, Afternoon, and night." she handed it to the male with a nod.

"Thank you" he said as she walked him to the register. "Of course, it's my job." she chuckled before telling him the price. He paid and left.

- Afterwards

{Y/n} approached to the boy that was at the desk and asked if he was ready. He seemed less tense then when he first entered, 'that's good' {Y/n} thought. She examined his drawing and she was quite impressed.

"The sun and moon from Soul eater?" she questioned as she set the stencil down on the table. The boy nodded slowly, afraid she didn't like it but he was wrong. She thought it had a lot of detail and with a bit of color it would pop off.

She then asked him a few questions that she searched up online when she went to get Hawks lotion. A little "What was your last occupation?" with some "What makes you interested in this job/business?" and a good ole' "Why should I pick you for this job?"

At the end it turned out well. He got the job, and she got a co-worker. Both ended their morning with a satisfied smile on their faces.
