Ink

I stood outside the tattoo parlor, taking a deep breath. My eyes glance over at my already fully covered arms. I look through the large windows, trying to spot the brunette that I adored. Kim Taehyung; an artist that is a work of art himself. His face was definitely a creation by skillful hands that knew exactly what they were doing. He was breathtaking. I used to hate the thoughts of tattoos and now I'm covered in them. Each one was done by Taehyung. I refused to have anyone else touch my skin and put a commitment on my body, I only accepted Taehyung marking my body with his perfect hands. My eyes flickered around until they landed on him. I smiled widely, showing my bunny teeth as I walked in.

"Speak of the devil and he shall appear, welcome back, bunny." Taehyung greeted me with his beautiful box smile. Oh how that smile made my heart melt. "You are a little later than normal, but hey the city never rests." He chuckled and walked over to me. I nodded and just smiled at him, the butterflies filling my stomach. "So what are we doing today?" He asked as he cocked a brow. "I was thinking about moving from my arms onto my chest." I spoke confidently. I had practiced that one line over and over before even getting into the car this morning. "I was thinking about getting a small rose right-" I cut myself off to point near my collarbone.
"-here." Taehyung eyes lit up and he nodded. "Anything for my favorite customer!" I looked down sheepishly and walked over to the chair, slipping off my shirt. I tried to relax but my nerves jumped when Taehyung sat next to me, examining my skin. "I love having a clean slate with an open idea. Don't worry my little bunny, I'll make sure you love it."

The buzzing sound of the needle didn't scare me anymore and the pain didn't affect me as much as the first time. "So, what makes you want to have a rose on your body? If you don't mind me asking." Taehyung's eyes didn't leave the spot of my chest they were glued to. "Roses symbolize love and romance." I spoke blankly. "Something that has been affecting me for awhile now." I spoke softly, regretting it the second it came out of my mouth. The buzzing stopped and I felt taehyungs touch vanish. "Does my bunny have a crush on someone? A lover perhaps?" He asked with an innocent tone.

I could feel my cheeks heat up and my brain panicked. "Me? A crush? Pff- no!" My mind was racing as I managed that out. I could tell Taehyung didn't buy my lie and I wasn't even looking over at him. I hesitantly looked over at him, his eyes were half lidded with his eyebrows raised. His lips were pouted and his cheeks puffed out slightly. "You can't lie to me Kook." My body froze. "L-lie? Never!" I fidgeted in my seat. There was a moment of silence before a little "okay" was said and the buzzing of the needle began to fill he room again. My thoughts continued to panic but my body calmed down.

"You know, little bunny, we've known each other for a long time. You coming for art and me putting that art on your body. Even through our relationship can just be seen as a professional relationship, I still want to be your friend." Taehyung spoke slowly, making me melt into a puddle of my own feelings. His voice was the most perfect thing I've ever heard. I just nodded in response to his proposal to being friends, even though my heart longed to just blurt out a confession. Just blurt out how he makes me blush at just watching him sketch or how my heart races at his gentle touch. My heart screamed to tell him every single feeling I've been holding in but my body silenced me, making me a nervous, flustered mess.

"It's finished, I think it fits you really well." He smiled proudly at me. I stood up from the chair and turned to a mirror. I looked at the little rose on my chest and smiled widely. "I like it a lot, just like all the other ones." I rubbed my arms.
