A/N: In which Tori gets 'teased' by Jade and her tattoo artist while getting a new tattoo,,

It all started with an involuntary hiss of pain, followed immediately by a slow exhale in an attempt to soothe the pain Tori was currently experiencing due to the location of the new tattoo she was currently getting.

"Good girl," the tattoo artist said without even looking up, upon the release of Tori's breath, and despite the pain still radiating from her ankle, Tori quickly bit her lip and let out a small noise. Which, of course, was caught by both the tattoo artist and Jade, standing directly next to her, her own matching ankle tattoo having been finished up already a few minutes beforehand (and without even a peep during any of it on her part, Tori had privately noted as she had watched and anticipated getting her own).

"You alright, baby?" Jade teased.

"I'm fine," Tori muttered, shooting Jade a look.

"Good girl," Jade replied, the smirk on her face growing slightly larger. Tori groaned and brought her hands up under her chin, her cheeks slightly flushed now.

"Jade, not now..."

"Don't worry, I actually see a lot of that here," the tattoo artist piped up, with her own smirk now on her face. Tori belatedly realized that she'd paused in tattooing her, giving her a little break from the pain. The tattoo wasn't even that big, but the area she was getting it was tender and the last few minutes had felt like ages anyway to her. Which was why she finally had let her discomfort out, in a breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding.

"Are you ready for me to keep going? It's only gonna be another minute or two, tops," the tattoo artist asked, and Tori nodded tentatively.

"Good girl," the tattoo artist said with a quick wink, making Tori groan and bring her hands up to actually cover her face this time. Despite herself and her blushing cheeks, a tiny smile had made its way onto her lips, visible to Jade from between Tori's fingers.

Jade and the tattoo artist shared a chuckle before the things resumed. The tattoo artist had been right and rest of the time (and pain) just flew by, and then Jade and Tori had their matching ankle tattoos.

A/N: This one might just be funny to me but like many other things in this ficlet collection, the thought struck me randomly and I had to write it. Thanks for reading!
