I mean. [ well like ] It was maybe more likely I was just gonna do it on my own one day when I felt particularly into the idea and then hide it from you for however long?

[ he at least sounds wryly amused. ]

It isn't like I don't already carry you around, but sometimes reminders are nice.

[windeity]

Why would you hide it from me? [A curious look.] I would have eventually found it, maybe.

[parodeity]

It feels selfish to want, I suppose.

[windeity]

I don't think it's selfish. Why do you?

[parodeity]

...because if I said "hey John get a tattoo for me" you would without any actual argument?

[windeity]

Believe it or not, I can say no to you if I really wanted to. Most of the time I just don't want to.

[parodeity]

I can't even remember the last time you told me no.

[windeity]

I haven't needed to. [No, John's mostly just a sucker.]

[parodeity]

Babe, we're basically mutually pathetic except I tell you no sometimes when it's for your own good.

[windeity]

Like I said, I can totally tell you no if I wanted to. [...] I like the idea of having a permanent reminder I'm yours and you're mine. [Even in a world if they ever broke up, he doubts they'd stop being friends anyway. It makes sense.]

[parodeity]

[ ... ] Why don't we, then?

[ it's the twelfth. they can do something moronic maybe if john doesn't stop them. ]

[windeity]

[Look at least it's not SBaHJ...]

...do you want to do the rest of today before that or after that?

[parodeity]

[ there is unfortunately a slow if brilliant grin. ] Before.

[windeity]

[God. They're really going to be stupid, aren't they. But okay, he'll go ahead and finally pull back to buckle up.]

Okay. Then destination two is on our list, and then...we'll find a parlor and actually do this.

[parodeity]

Mmm...actually, after. [ because: ] You promised I could pay for the next stop.

[windeity]

I said the next thing that would require money. [..] You want to cover both tattoos?

[parodeity]

Please? I have the cash. [ he works too much ]

[windeity]

...[He seems to be debating this.]

...alright. We'll do that first. [Whatever he was thinking isn't too important and so he begins to drive.]

[parodeity]

[ dave buckles in and looks like they're

doing stupid things but whatever dave seems content. ]

Wrist?

[windeity]

Yeah. Lungs? [He seems to know exactly where he's going, too.]

[parodeity]

Yep. You been scouting tattoo joints?

[windeity]

Maybe kind of sort of? I've thought about this on and off.

[parodeity]

Like...for what tattoo?

[windeity]

...don't laugh but I have considered getting a tattoo of your shades.

[parodeity]

[ im sorry but he obviously starts laughing ]
