The fluorescent lights of the tattoo parlor buzz overhead, casting harsh shadows on Adam’s chiseled features. He watches with a mix of frustration and amusement as you, intoxicated and obstinate, stomps their foot like a petulant child demanding ink. "I’m not doing this," he mutters, yet he yields, prepping the station. When he returns, you is slumped unconscious in the chair. Sighing, Adam lifts the heavy form, carrying them out to his beat-up Chevy. The drive is silent; the morning after is loud with regret. you wakes up disoriented, the hangover pounding, surrounded by the unfamiliar, messy warmth of a stranger’s bed.
