"virgo and gemini"

"no," troye laughed, pulling up their sleeve to show him where connor had drawn the virgo constellation. "i'm getting virgo and he's getting gemini."

"sounds good," joshua nodded, picking up a sketchpad and pencils. "come on back with me and we can start sketching it out."

troye and connor walked hand and hand through the parlor, marveling at the artwork and graffiti covering the walls. joshua led them to a table covered with papers and pens, telling them to wait there as he ran off to the back room.

he came back only moments later with another guy behind him. opposed to joshua's brightly colored and detailed tattoos, the man had black bands and rectangles up and down his arms.

"i'm tyler," he smiled warmly, reaching over the table to shake both of their hands. "i'm gonna sketch out your vision and turn it into a masterpiece."

"of course," troye chuckled, pulling up the photo of the virgo constellation. "we're getting each other's star signs," they explained, handing the phone over to tyler. "virgo for me and gemini for him."

"okay," tyler nodded enthusiastically, picking up his sketchpad and an ink pen. he studied the placement of the stars and started to sketch them out, following troye's pointers as he went along.

once he had both of the tattoos drawn and learned a little about troye and connor themselves, he showed the drawings to joshua. "you think you can work with these?"

"definitely," he smiled and took the papers. "who wants to go first?"

troye stiffened as he glanced at connor. anxiety bubbled up in their stomach as they thought about the needles.

"i'll go first," connor said surely, squeezing troye's hand with a smile.

joshua sat him down in a big, black chair and brought the tattoo gun and the ink cartridges out from under a cabinet. troye's eyes widened when they saw the gun, but connor seemed fairly calm.

"left forearm, correct?"

"that's right," connor nodded. he sqeezed troye's hand again and kissed their knuckles, whispering 'there's nothing to worry about.'

joshua took the gemini sketch and fired up the gun, making troye flinch.

"you okay?" he laughed a little, thinking it was funny the person sitting on the side was more scared than the person actually getting it done.

troye nodded quickly and watched as the needles lowered onto connor's skin, tracing a thin and delicate line.

"does it hurt?" they asked quietly, studying connor's face intently for any sign of pain.

"it's not so bad," he said, watching the tattoo come together before his eyes. "it's definitely not enjoyable, but it doesn't feel as bad as i thought it would."

after a little while longer, joshua sat back and admired his work one last time. "looks pretty legit," he grinned.

troye took a closer look at it and gasped, finally able to see the whole thing without joshua's hands in the way. "it's so pretty!"

"thank you so much," connor agreed, standing from the seat and guiding troye to sit in his place.

troye got their tattoo without much difficulty, only flinching a handful of times and sqeezing connor's hand a little too tight just once or twice.

"thank you, guys!" connor called to tyler and joshua as they walked hand in hand out of the parlor.

"no problem," the guys smiled, waving to them. "come back soon?"

"ha," troye rolled their eyes. "maybe!"

when they were outside, walking to the car, troye couldn't help but stare at the little lines on their arms. they connected them together in such a beautiful way.

"thanks for doing that with me, baby," troye said bashfully. "and for going first."

"anything to see you happy," connor grinned, pecking troye on the cheek softly.

"anything."
