hazel shook her head and shrugged her shoulders, “oh, it was nothing really. mostly just me sharing my thoughts out loud. like I was thinking about getting a tattoo, but if I get one where you can see it, then I’d have to color it up for work and then what’s the point of having it.” she laughed. “like I said—just my thoughts out loud.” she gestured towards the paper than he tucked away. “that paper must be really important to zone you out– is it a note or something?”
he smiles. a conversation he can get behind, thank god for hazel. she just unknowingly took his mind off of the letter, even for a moment, that was relief. “ah the good ole internal debate about tatoos.” he had many, a half sleeve on his left arm. “wanna know something?” he shows her his tatoos that are visible. “when you have tattoos they become a part of you, you forget that they’re there sometimes, it’s still your skin just with a drawing y’know? it’s not gunna matter to you whether you gotta cover it up at work or not, it’ll still be with you, and the ones you get in hidden spots are gunna be forgotten as much as the ones you can see every day no matter what you put on.” he winks, it’s good advice he thinks, she should just go ahead and get one. “raphael is a tattoo artist, i could set you up with him, yeah? he could do some stencils on you, so you can see what it’d look like.” him and raphi are pretty close, they’ve known each other since he was in diapers. back the paper huh? damn. things were just getting interesting. “uh, nah. it’s just an acceptance letter for a job i applied for, nothing major, i don’t really wanna dwell on it.”
