Tattoo's and Piercing's
This is an AU where Magnus is a tattoo artist and piercer. Alec lost a bet and has to get a tattoo and a piercing. They are all human. Hope you enjoy xx
No Jace! Please! I don't want to!" cried Alec, as his best friend dragged him through the streets of New York. "Oh, yes. But you will. That was the deal!" Alec had lost a bet against Jace. Jace had claimed that Alec would not dare to talkto another boy in Takis. But Alec had claimed the opposite of it. So Jace had suggested that they should make a bet out of it. The loser would have either get a tattoo or get pierced. And of course, Alec had lost. He would never dare to talk to another boy and certainly not a stranger. "Don't worry Alec. We will go to Magnus Bane. He is known as the best tattoo artist and body piercer in New York or even the world. So he will surely be gentle." Jace said, and pushed him through the door of the store.
Magnus stood at the counter and looked up as two boys came in. It looked as if the black-haired boy didn't really want that. "Hey guys. Well, has any of you lost a bet or what?" It happened often that someone just came in his store and told him that he lost a bet. Blondie, so Magnus decided to name one of them, nodded and pointed at Raven Boy as Magnus would now call the black-haired. He smiled and walked up to them. "Okay. What can I do to you? Tattoo or Piercing?" Raven Boy said nothing, but Blondie replied. "Alec would like to have both. A piercing on the ear and a tattoo on his arm." Magnus smiled. "Well then follow me please." he said and walked into another room. He pointed at a chair and Raven Boy sat down on it while he put on his gloves. "Where do we start?" The boy still didn'ttalk to him and that's why Blondie answered again. "The piercing." Magnus nodded.
Magnus first picked up a pen. "Very well. Where about do you want the piercing?" The boy was still silent. "Come on. You can talk to me. I will not bite. I will only stab your ear and colour your skin with pain. " Then Alec took the pen and drew a point on his ear. Magnus smiled and nodded. "Good. Then I'll get a needle. You have to breathe deeply now, will you? See you soon." Magnus went to a shelf and took a needle and several piercings. Alec boxed against Jace's arm. Then the piercer came back. "So. Here I am again. Ready?" Raven Boy only nodded and Magnus sat down on a chair next to him. "Choose a piercing first," he said, holding them in front of him. Alec chose a simple black Piercing. Magnus disinfected the place on his ear and then took the needle. "Raven Boy, look at Blondie and ..." He did not talk further and stabbed the needle through his ear. Then he took the piercing and put it on."So. Number one is done. You have to disinfect it three times a day. And be careful that you don't touch it too often for it hurts a bit until it healed. Let's go on with the tattoo now?"
A bit later they were in another room. There Alec sat down again. "So, what motive would you like to get tattoed?" Alec thought about it. For the first time since the bet was made, because he had not expected that he would lose or that Jace would really force him to get a Tattoo and a piercing. "I think a bow and an arrow and right next to it a quote: Do what you love," he whispered then. Magnus nodded and started to draw a design. He showed it to Alec then. "Wow ... That looks so beautiful ..." he said, smiling. Magnus nodded and smiled too. "I'm glad you like it. So where do you want to get it? " He asked. Alec thought for a moment. It should be a place where you would not see it immediatel. He decided to get it on his arm and Magnus put the paper on it. The design was now on his skin. Alec smiled and nodded. "I think that is a good place for it. " He whispered, looking at Magnus. The tattoo artist took the needle. "Are you ready?" He asked and Raven Boy nodded. Then he started his work. Magnus put the needle to his arm and drew over the design. It hurt, but the pain was bearable. A short time later he was done. "So. That's it. You should come again in a few months."
Together, they went back to the room they were in at first. There were a lot of other customers now. Magnus took a small piece of paper and wrote something on it. He gave it to Alec and winked at him. "Okay. That's $ 200." Magnus said and Alec paid with his credit card. Jace and Alec left the store. Magnus then turned to his other customers. After closing time his best friend Woolsey Scott came in. Magnus hugged him and smiled. "What do you want today?" He asked as Woolsey sat down on a chair. "Hm ... A Piercing on the ear and then a dinner with my best friend. You pay the piercing and then I'll invite you for dinner." Magnus grinned. "Deal."
Fifteen minutes later, the piercing was made and the two walked to Takis. Once there, they ordered and sat down. "How was your day?" Woolsey asked. Magnus grinned immediately. "Full of color, designs, needles and piercings. But best of all: there was this totally hot guy who lost a bet. He looks so fantastic. But enough of that. How was your day as a famous model?" he grinned. "At least as great as yours. Or even better. I had a photo shoot with hot guys and then I had sex with two of them. I think one of them is even really cute." Magnus laughed and leaned against him. "Then call him." For a while, their conversation went on. Then they ate and after dinner they also walked through New York for a while. Only late in the evening Woolsey had to leave and that's why Magnus also went home.
Alec and Jace went home after they had left. "What is on the piece of paper he gave you?" Jace asked curiously. But Alec stared to the ground. "Shut up, you traitor. Because of you everyone will see it at school! This is extremely embarrassing!" They didn't talk on the rest of the way and when they arrived at home Alec immediately went to his room. He looked at the tattoo carefully. Actually, it was really beautiful. Alec loved the archery. But if anyone would see it ... That would be so embarrassing for him. He threw himself on his bed and picked up a book. His favorite book. Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green. He had already read it at least ten times, but he did not care. It was still funny and sad and beautiful. He opened it and wanted to start to read it again but all the time he had to think about the tattoo artis. The beautiful tattoo artist with the beautiful green eyes. He wondered how it would be when they kissed... Alec almost got lost in his dream, but then Jace came in. With two cups in his hand. He sat down next to Alec on the bed and smiled. "I'm sorry about the tattoo and the piercing. Here." He held out a cup of hot chocolate à la Jace, which meant as much as: ten tons of cocoa powder, half a liter of milk, twenty mini-marshmallows, a tonof whipped cream and thousands of chocolate sprinkles. Alec smiled slightly and took the cup. "All right. It wasn't even your fault because I was too shy to talk to the guy. " "Now what was on the paper he gave you?" Jace asked again. But Alec shrugged. "I do not know. I threw it away." Not. "Can you please get out? Not that I hate you, but I'm just tired ..." The blond-haired boy stood up and went outside. "Good Night." "Good Night."
As soon as Jace was gone Alec ran to his jacket. He searched for the paper in his pocket and eventually found the note. He quickly unfolded it and read it a couple of times without understanding the words. After ten times or so he finally got what stood on the paper. It was not much and also not hard to understand. It said simply: 'Dear Raven Boy (or Alec), you're pretty cute. Call me if you want to ' His number was right next to the text. Alec's heart skipped a few beats and he looked at the note. Should he call him or not? Without really noticing, he took his mobile and typed in the number, his fingers trembling. Then he called him.
Magnus was sitting on his desk, working on a few new designs and looked up when his mobile rang. He took it and answered it. "Bane?" Nothing. After a short break somebody answered. "Mister Bane. Here is A- Alec. Uh ... Raven Boy." He stuttered. Magnus grinned immediately and put down the pen. "Hey. What's up?" "Uh ... You said I should call ... And I did that." Magnus nodded. "Will you go out with me? Or aren't you even gay? We also can go out as friends ..." A short time there was again nothing. Then Alec replied. "Yes. Yes, I want to go out with you. But not only as a friend ..."
