“Hey, sorry I’m so late. You know how it is.” Kai let out a long sigh and straddled the lap of the man at her kitchen table instead of taking her own seat. Working late at the tattoo parlor was something she couldn’t avoid. Sometimes it was easier to just get the ink done than it was to come back and finish it later. Kai found a groove and it was hard to come out of it. “Is dinner still warm or did I really fuck up?” 

Kai woke up with a quiet groan, turning over as he opened his eyes. The night before mostly a blur as he looked to the sleeping body next to his. At first he didn’t recognize them but was quick to realize when they too turned over. “Oh fuck.” He grunted as he rolled out of the bed clumsily.

"Maybe we should just stay in today. Have a snow day with me." Kai's clients had canceled for the day with the impending storm so Kai didn't see much of a reason to even open the tattoo parlor. But if she was going to be up in this apartment all on her own for too long she'd go stir crazy. "Come on, please? It'll be fun."

“It’s looking great, just remember to take deep breaths.” Kai spoke softly to the person settled into her tattooing chair. Luckily she wasn’t heavy handed, but that didn’t mean it didn’t hurt. But as long as they didn’t wiggle around too much, she could keep the lines perfectly straight and the color exactly where she wanted it to go. “Do you want to take a quick break? It’s okay if you need a breather. Even I need to get up every now and again when I get work like this done.”
