A/N: Let me explain myself before anyone kills me (if anyone sticks with me at this point). I had a virus that wiped out all of my docs, stories, ideas, the next chapter for Licking Flames, the next chapter in my BTR story so now I'm fucking depressed. I couldn't post anything because I couldn't get connection due to the virus so I had to take it to the shop and start over. And now I'm starting over with my stories once again. :/
I've had this idea for the longest time though so kill me if you want to, but I'm going to be (at least try to be) focused on this until I feel better to re-write all my shit.
Natsu was still unsure about his decision when he stared up at the black brick building. A sign with neon purple lights flashed OPEN that hung from inside the front glass window that was draped in black cloth. The door he stood in front of was tinted glass and purple words spread across the surface in an intricate, elegant cursive. It read GRIMOIRE HEART, and listed beneath it was the hours of the business. On the other side of the door another glass window was covered in a black sheet; however, this one had pictures patched into it, pictures that revealed the work from the artists who were inside. Natsu kind of liked the idea of advertising their work like that. It stopped people on the side walk who stood there taking in the intricate designs.
"I'm so excited I could pee."
"Lisanna, please don't."
The voices of his best friends, the whole reason why he was here, snapped him out of his thoughts, and he looked over at the two women beside him. One was a cute blonde with an hour glass figure and honey brown eyes. She was wearing her favorite white jeans that hugged her soft curves and thighs along with a black turtle neck shirt which was short sleeved and had a deep slit against her chest, revealing her creamy bust. Black wedges completed her outfit.
The other one was a gorgeous silverette with gentle sky blue eyes. She also had an hour glass figure that was covered in a simple, but very tight, white dress that stopped at her milky thighs. The dress covered most of her front despite her breasts threatening to tease out straining against the spaghettie straps hugging her slender shoulders. However, the entire back was open all the way down to the top of her plump rear. She had on her favorite pair of white boots that came all the way past her knees.
"What do you think Natsu?" the first speaker, the Lisanna, squealed excitedly. She came around Natsu's other side and laced their arms together.
"I mean, I like this," Natsu gestured to the glass with the artists' works looking out at them.
The blonde heard the hesitation hidden under his tone and latched onto his other arm. "Oh no. You aren't backing out of this! We're getting tattoos tonight damn it."
"Lucy-" Natsu started but just then the door opened which allowed the loud music coming from inside seep out into the dark night. Although the music blasted, it dissolved into the background when the trio found themselves staring at a gorgeous woman who very well could have possibly been a goddess.
"Are you kiddos lost or is there a reason you're standing outside my shop?" the woman's voice was honey with a dash of 'I'll beat your fucking ass with a metal bat' lacing underneath the sweet tone. She was pale yet owned the most intense, dark features. Her almond shaped eyes were sharp yet soft at the same time. Her full, pouty lips were painted a dark, mystified purple, and her thin black eye brows were treated in a perfect arch. She too had an hour glass figure but unlike the two women outside, she revealed her skin which was barely recognizable with all her tattoos stitched into the skin. It took Natsu a good minute to realize the woman was wearing black denim shorts and no shirt, just a black waist length bralette that just barely concealed her bust. Her skin was colorful with animated pictures and words scripted across her body like a piece of art. She wore heavy black army boots and her long, almost midnight-purple crimson hair was draped elegantly down her back in waves.
Lucy was the first to find her voice and offered a kind smile. "My friends and I want to get tattoos. Sorry, we didn't mean to look suspicious or anything; we were just admiring the outside."
The woman chuckled and stepped outside with them, closing the door behind her. She crossed her arms over her chest and gave them an easy smile. Natsu found himself melting. "It's alright. I didn't if you guys were coming in or not. But I get it, I stand out here sometimes just staring. Even though we've been open for almost a week now. I love my little shop." she glanced upwards, taking in the small building before locking her eyes back on the trio. "So. Tattoos? You guys over 18?"
The silverette responded first this time. "Yep! We're all 19." she smiled sweetly.
"What about Pinky? Pretty short for a guy who's 19." the woman nodded to Natsu who straightened up.
"It's not my fault I'm vertically challenged. I have my I.D too-" Natsu was snipping but the woman cut him off with a laugh.
"I'm just fucking with you, jeez. Natsu, right? You're Laxus' kid brother. I went school with him and did his tattoos in the boy's bathroom senior year." the woman smirked as Natsu gawked.
"That was you?! Uh, Ultear right?"
The woman, Ultear, nodded. "I'm the one. Anyways, come inside. I'll get you three hooked up with my best artists."
