“How else do you think I got those?” Eddie points to the bats on his arms.
“Some of them, yeah.” Eddie lowers the collar of his shirt to show the upper part of his left chest, where a weird looking floating head stared with devil eyes. “A friend draw this one. Sick, right?”
“... How many do you have?”
“Not enough. I want to cover my entire arms one day.”
Eddie shows his arms and Steve pretends to pay attention at the detailed drawing he describes.
“Will you give me one?” He suddenly says.
Eddie looks up in surprise, his smile frozen at his face.
“You know this is permanent, right?”
“I just thought- Your dad won't like it if-”
“Just give me somewhere he can't find it.”
Steve thinks about it for a second. He grabs the waistband of his pants and pulls them down a little, showing the skin under his stomach.
Eddie's pale face turns pink. He stares at the path the hair traced, his throat going dry.
“Maybe here?” Steve asks, strangely normal about all of this. “He won't see it here.”
“Hm.” Eddie swallows hard. “No, I... I don't think he will.”
Steve arches his eyebrows.
Eddie looks up at his face, even more nervous to know Steve caught him staring.
“Do you have anything else to do?”
Eddie rolls his eyes and smiles over that snob attitude.
Steve obeys, sitting down at the uncomfortable couch like he owns the place. Eddie studies his position, thinking what would be the best way to do it.
He shrugs and sighs. Fuck it.
Eddie picks up a cushion, throws it on the floor and kneels on it, placing himself in front of Steve’s open legs, facing his bare stomach, watching his hands hold the waistband down…
“What’s going to be?” Eddie asks, cleaning Steve’s skin.
Steve’s expression doesn't change. He looks at Eddie with such foundness…
Thank Satan Eddie was already kneeling.
Eddie picks up the tattoo gun. A mischievous smile shows up on his face.
“How funny would it be if I draw a dick right now?”
“Ok, ok.” He thinks for a second. “But you can’t look.”
“Not right now.” Eddie puts his free hand on Steve's hips. “I'm in charge. So stay still and don't look.”
