You sat on your spinning stool at your desk in your shop drawing designs for customers. You take off one of your black gloves to change the music on your phone. You grab a remote to change the LED lights that surround the roof of your shop from blue to red. You hear the door ring as it swings open.

"Y/N?"

You stay staring at your desk drawing your tattoo designs not even needing to look up to know who it is.

"Erik?"

You yell not letting your gaze fault from your drawing.

"You didn't forget about my appointment did you?"

He asks.

"Of course not. Come sit down."

You hear him sit down in the adjustable chair as it squeaks under him.

Finally, for the first time, you look up from your drawing at the messy-haired boy who is sitting in front of you. You wheel your chair over to the chair he sat in sitting inches away from him.

"So what were you looking to get done today?"

Erik sits up seemingly excited at his idea as he grips his phone in his hands.

"Well y'know, I was thinking of getting something new done."

You're eyebrow raises

"Mhm?"

"And since you've done all my other piercings I thought it would only be right to come to you for this one too."

"Just spit it out already."

"I want to get a Prince Albert."

You're eyes widen.

"Okay just so I know there isn't a miscommunication, I know some people like to make up names for piercings, you are aware a Prince Albert is located on your penis?"

"Yes, and I already did the research and shit."

"Okay. So if we're going to do this piercing I would need to take you to a closed backroom. Just for privacy reasons."

"Alright alright, I know."

Erik swings his legs around the chair standing up, and you quickly do so as well. You throw off your other black glove that you neglected to remove earlier into a bin next to your desk.

You had Erik follow you into a locked room in the back of your shop. You mess around with a bunch of keys on a Keychain attached to your belt loop before grabbing a bright pink one and unlocking the door with it.

You place the key back in your key ring and point to the chair in the middle of the room.

"You can go ahead and sit there."

Erik practically skipped over to the chair as he quickly sat down. You can't tell if it's from nerves or if he's genuinely excited.

Before you sit down you grab two more black gloves and tug them onto your hands snuggly. You grab a few items you're going to need. You take one of the alcohol pads and wipe the table before placing your needle, tube, alcohol pads, marker, and jewelry down.

You stay focused on your tools as you start to talk.

"Okay so before I do this, I am going to have to inform you of some health concerns that can come with these types of piercings, I know you said you researched but I still gotta inform you for y'know legal purposes or whatever."

"Whatever you gotta do doll."

Doll. The name made you blush. However, he couldn't tell due to the way you were sitting away from him.

"Okay so typically with these kinds of piercings since they go in your urethra, they can cause UTIs and STDs however that's a bit unlikely. If you have to go to the hospital say Micheal pierced you."

Erik laughed. You tried to lighten the mood, as you could tell how his breathing was starting to quicken as it got closer to the time to pierce him.

Erik wasn't a wuss when it came to getting pierced but he always tended to get a bit anxious right before.

You continued to talk.

"These piercings usually take 8 to 14 weeks to heal however I would wait up to 20 weeks before engaging in sexual intercourse."

You cringed at the string of words. Sexual intercourse? You and Erik were friends it wouldn't have been too weird to just say sex. However, you still tried to remain professional. Since you didn't want to get fired.

You finish your spiel of health risks that came along with the piercings. You stood up and threw away the gloves you used to set up your materials.

"Okay, so I'm going to step out and give you a bit of privacy to undress from the bottom down. You don't need to take off your pants but you're more than welcome too."

"More than welcome too? That sounds kind of weird."

"I'm required to say it shush."

"That's weird."

"Shut up."

You walk over to the door.

"Just give me two knocks when you're ready."

"Will do."

Erik gave you a thumbs-up as you walked out of the room closing the door behind you.

While he was getting ready you decided to change your sign that said Open to Closed since it was already so late. Once you were done with Eriks piercing it would be time to close shop.

You almost jump from the sound of the knocks on the door behind you. You rush over to the door slowly opening it.

"You ready?"

You try not to glance down at Erik who was now sitting back down in the chair with his pants draped over the top of the chair. His shoes are in front of him on the floor.

"I guess so."

You grab another pair of gloves tugging them onto your hands. You grab your blue marker and wheel over to the edge of the chair Erik was occupying.

You carefully grab Erik's penis opening the marker and marking a spot that he couldn't see yet.

"Is that good? Do you wanna it higher, lower?"

You place the lid back on the marker as Erik grabs his penis looking at the placement.

"It's good."

"You gettin' nervous?"

You could tell whenever Erik would get nervous during a piercing. He would only resort to the bare minimum of dialogue.

"Just a little."

You turn around to your table and grab a clear-looking tube and an 8-gauge needle.

"Okay, so this tube is just going to go in your urethra only to the point that I marked. It might be a little uncomfortable but it'll only take a second. However, tell me it hurts and we can maybe find another way to do this."

Erik slowly nods looking up at the ceiling and back down at his penis repeatedly.

You slowly put the tube in the proper place and hold the needle in your other hand.

"Do you want me to count off?"

"Y/N. You know me. When have I ever asked you to- FUCK!"

You poked the needle through his skin and are now grabbing the jewelry to put through it.

"I would recommend only using titanium jewelry for this piercing, I know we say that for all of them but since this one is in such a place that is susceptible to infection I would make extra sure that the jewelry in this one is always titanium."

You finish screwing the piercing closed and stand up to throw away your gloves.

You hear Erik chuckling behind you, which makes your heart flutter.

"Damn, you didn't even give me to think about anything."

"If you thought about it for too long you might've chickened out."

"When have I ever chickened out?"

"Well I mean you almost left my shop with one nipple piercing."

"What if that's just the look I wanted?"

"It wasn't."

You turn around to see Erik pulling up his underwear and pants over his freshly pierced penis. The sight makes your cheeks turn a shade of red.

"What? You like what you see?"

You were used to this kind of flirty nature from him.

"Erik."

"What?"

You grit your teeth.

"I still gotta be professional, you doofus."

"Oh right."

Erik winks at you as he zips up his pants and puts his shoes back on.

"So how much was this again?"

He asks.

"You know all your piercings are on the house."

"Yeah yeah."

You both walk out of the room, and you lock the door behind the both of you. And meet Erik at the front of your store.

You place your hands in your pockets as you rock back and forth on your feet.

Erik points to your now Closed sign.

"I see you're closed."

"Yeah?"

"Does that mean you still gotta be professional?"

There's a pause for a moment. Not an awkward one. More of a comedic pause.

"I guess not."

"So how about let's say we go to a movie sometime?"

You chuckle a bit.

"What are you 15? And when would be going to this movie?"

You can see a smirk start to appear on his face.

"The next time you're off soooo..."

He looks down at his invisible watch before continuing.

"Next Wednesday? Maybe 6 pm?"

"You have my schedule memorized?"

You laugh.

"Just the days you're off..so I can know when we can hang out."

"Uh-huh.."

"So whatdya' say?"

"Sure."

You give Erik a warm smile and for a second his smirk is off his face and he replaces it with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll see you then."

Erik turns around to leave.

"See you later."

Erik walks out of your shop leaving you alone.

You grab your phone and resume the music that was playing before he arrived.
