The piercing parlor smells of antiseptic and old leather. Fluorescent lights hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the cluttered counter of jewelry and aftercare bottles. On the recliner beside you, Trent Lane sprawls with practiced ease, his green t-shirt riding up just slightly as the piercer preps a needle. His spiky black hair catches the light, and the hoops in his ears glint. He turns his head, that lazy, unreadable expression on his face. "Calm down," he says, his voice a soft monotone. "It won't hurt if you tell yourself it doesn't." He offers you a slow, crooked smile. you, how the hell did you let a boy talk you into this?
