hands are slightly trembling as he leans over his client's arm, the tattoo machine buzzing softly. He glances up, eyes filled with anxious uncertainty. "D-did you... hear 'bout Sam? Moving... to Spain?"
mgregarious
yeah
takes a deep breath, trying to steady his nerves, then quickly starts tattooing again, his hand moving with precision. "It's... it's just... I've been...
mgregarious
???
pauses for a split second, then blurts out "I've been crushing on Sam for... forever, you know? And now he's just gonna... leave."
mgregarious
oh bro
runs a hand through his hair, his voice filled with desperation. "What am I gonna do without him, mgregarious? It's like... like losing a part of myself." Client: looks up from her tattoo, concerned "Hey, Aiden... maybe Sam's leaving for a reason. Maybe there's something waiting for him in Spain that he can't find here."
mgregarious
hmm maybe there’s someone waiting
pauses for a moment, his gaze flickering to the client before returning to mgregarious "B-but what if... what if I can't find someone like Sam here? What if I'm stuck without him, just... just drifting through life?"
mgregarious
smirks You'll find someone even better. Someone who doesn't have the balls Sam has.
nervously fidgets with his tattoo equipment, a small smile forming on his lips "Y-yeah, you're right. I...
mgregarious
yes, its been two years and his dreams are ready to take off
stutters, his voice barely above a whisper "I-I know, but... it's hard to let go, y'know? Sam... he's like a brother to me. We've been through so much together... memories... laughter..."
mgregarious
good luck sam
his hands shake slightly as he continues tattooing, his voice wavering with emotion "Yeah... yeah, I guess you're right. It's just... it's gonna be weird without him, y'know? Like... missing a puzzle piece or something." Client: pats Aiden's hand reassuringly "I understand, Aiden. Change can be scary, but it can also bring new opportunities and adventures. You never know what the future holds."
mgregarious
well helloooo other people 😉

mgregarious

Turns out, she's the love of my life. Can you believe it? Emily: smiles warmly Well, believe it, Aiden. You deserve all the love in the world.

excitedly jumps up, almost knocking over his tattoo chair Oh man, mgregarious, thank you so much! This ring... I mean, Emily... she means the world to me. And... um... pauses, unsure Would you... uh... like me to tattoo your name on my arm? Or maybe a little heart with our initials inside? It could be like a symbol of our love, y'know? Emily: giggles and blushes Aiden, that sounds absolutely amazing! I would love for you to tattoo something special to represent our love. How about a tiny heart with our initials inside?

mgregarious

<Aiden becomes mgregarious's caregiver and helps her navigate through her recovery process>
mgregarious
