Um, and I think that's about all I have to say. I hope yall like it, and if you do, please please review! It makes me happy and want to keep updating my stories. And check out the kink meme bc it's pretty cool.

As a tattoo artist, Rath had to deal with a lot of crazy people. The thing was, it was usually pretty easy to spot them. Like the one guy with long dark hair and what Rath hoped was a fake sword who came in every couple of weeks to get another drop of blood tattooed on his arm. From the man's frenzied mutterings, Rath had gathered that it was a kill count. But the man paid well and had a sword that may or may not be real, so Rath didn't ask questions. Then there was the couple who spent the whole time bickering and ended up leaving without a tattoo. The one with the long, almost purple hair, kept making lewd jokes about where the other, a tall man with spiky green hair with one white stripe in it, could put his lance until he was forcefully dragged out of the shop.

But the two who walked into his shop that day looked completely normal. The girl was probably in her mid-20s (although the pigtails she wore made her look younger) and the man who was with her, well, he was normal. That was all that Rath could think of to describe him. Average height, messy brown hair, plain clothes. He was a fairly attractive man, but the only unique thing about him was his distinct lack of any defining characteristic. At least that was Rath's first impression. When the pair entered his shop, he realized that the man did have a unique feature: his mouth. He was constantly talking to his companion, smiling as he paused to catch his breath or let her get a word in. But his mouth barely ever stopped, even when he approached Rath.

"Hi Rath!"

Rath gave him a strange look at the man knowing his name, but didn't speak. The man looked slightly cowed at Rath's stare, which was decidedly intense.

"Heh. i know your name because it's on your nametag! Sorry that I didn't mention that because I probably creeped you out a little. My name is Wil, but only with one L, so that kinda makes it weird. But not as weird as Rath. But I mean weird in a good way! More like unique! Or interesting! Or..."

The man...Wil would have kept talking, but the girl put a hand on his arm and gave him a kind look. Rath had a feeling that they'd been through this fairly often. Wil looked abashed for a second, but then his face lit up and he became animated again.

"Sorry Rath! I tend to ramble sometimes. I guess you can tell. That's what Rebecca tells me. Oh, sorry, this is Rebecca! We're here to get here ears pierced. Anyway, I should probably let her talk now. Heh."

The girl-Rebecca-gave him a fond look and began to talk. She was not nearly as animated as Wil and much more subdued.

"Yes, I'm here to get my ears pierced. Just one piercing on each earlobe, that's all. I'm not very edgy, but my boyfriend likes earrings."

Rebecca stopped and blushed a little. Rath realized that he was expected to reply. Quite honestly, Wil's enthusiasm had temporarily stunned him.

"Right. Ok, come this way."

As he led them back to the piercing station, he felt that it was his duty to make small talk. This was never Rath's strong suit, and he usually adopted a policy of silence when he worked. But for some reason, he decided to speak to these two.

"So..is Wil your boyfriend?"

Although the question was addressed to Rebecca, Rath was looking at Wil and it was the cheerful man who answered, laughing.

"Haha! No, her boyfriend's name is Lowen and he's training to be a policeman, which is why I'm here instead. I'm a childhood friend, so Rebecca's kind of like my sister. Besides, I'm gay, so I couldn't be with her anyway."

Wil would have continued, but Rebecca elbowed him, less gently this time, and Wil turned red, suddenly realizing what he had said.

"Oh! Oversharing! Sorry..."

Rath just shrugged and went about cleaning the piercing gun. He marked spots on Rebecca's ears as guidelines and positioned the gun.

"Ok. This might hurt, but just a little bit."

When he pulled the trigger, Rebecca flinched slightly and grabbed Wil's arm, but recovered quickly. She reacted even less to the second ear and soon was admiring her silver studs in the mirror.

"Thank you so much! Do I pay here?"

Rath led her to the cash register and took her money. The pair turned to leave, but Wil turned around to say one more thing.

"I'm sorry if I seemed really strange and forward. I promise I'm not this weird usually. Well, I guess I am, but I hope I didn't scare you and anyway...it was nice to meet you Rath."

The way that the man said this was so honest and sincere that Rath actually allowed a small smile, which Wil returned much brighter.

"So, maybe I'll see you later?"

Wil called out as he and Rebecca left. For some reason, Rath actually hoped that he would see the earnest man again.
