Modo x Gender-neutral Reader oneshot
A/N: First ever completed reader x canon! Kinda nervous , lmk if should fix anything or recommed some ideas. (Critiques are welcomed and the amount of piercings videos I had to watch to writing the description is unhealthy.)
God damn it
How the hell did Modo convince you into getting a septum piercing? You had no idea honestly. Yet at the same time, you’ve been feening for a septum yourself internally for a long while now. Seeming that every post was trying to encourage every scroll you took.Stupidly you had decided that would be your first very piercing. Without second thought, until the day arrived.
But you felt as if it was already too late as you and Modo were already in the piercing lobby.Just waiting for it to be your turn. Though you’ve trusted your boyfriend on the place where you get the piercing. Since to you he seemed like an expert with having around eleven counting. Probably having more hidden.
While waiting on the leathery couch of the waiting room, Modo just slouches in his seat with an arm over your shoulder.Just wasting the time away on scrolling on his phone.
Meanwhile you were shaking in your boots. Repeatedly bouncing your leg up and down.
This catches Modo's attention as he stops his doom scrolling.
“Modo feels you vibrating. What is wrong?”
“Oh! Nothing, nothing.Just a little nervous that’s all.” You winced out rather weakly under your breath. Modo just chuckled, squishing his face closer to you. As he wrapped his tail around your leg in support.
“Do not worry Solnishko, the piercing will be done fast.”
You sigh. “I know, I know. I just worried about the pain.”
“For Modo, my nose felt like fire for like a week. I nearly cried. Almost.” He clarified. Depanning while thinking of the memory.
You winced at the imagery and groaned , covering your face in defeat.
“Not helping at all Modo!”
“Sorry.”
Your ears sway as the receptionist calls your names out. Pointing out to the room you were supposed to head in. In a stiff motion you got up from your spot following Modo behind, arms crossed as you marched straight through the beaded door.
Greeted by the chair, a silver fox stood. Focusing on preparing the rather sharp tools for you. “Ah , hello tiny dog!”
“Ay sup Modo long time no see,” The piercer greeted. “What area are here for today? Another eye-brow,lip or something new today?”
Modo shook his head. “No,No,No my friend.It is for Modo’s partner.” He gushed with excitement as he shoved you up forth. While you gave an awkward wave. The fox just smiled, looking amused at the thought that you were able to pull Modo. Just a lucky person she guessed.
“Hey I’m Kayla, pleasure working with you.Please,have a seat.” The sleek fox offered while patting down on the client chair got you.
“What would you like today?”
“Septum.”
“Oh for real? I got you.” She said with enthusiasm. Drifting her attention to a box of small gloves.
As you took a seat , Modo heavy self laid lazily on your shoulders
“Be soft on them. They are like baby.” He suggested. A sparkly claw poked your cheek playfully. You couldn't even bother to rebuttal as anxiety and a tiny bit of excitement took over. Just staring off at the gigantic , silver clamp Kayla held in her paw.
“Alright, I’ll be quick then. Take a deep breath.” And so you did. Gripping the chair handles while the clamp holds down on the soft part of your nostrils. A meek shriveled echoed, Kayla finally thread the needle through. A harsh but cooling sting rang through your nose.A small circular ring looped through the needle , settling nicely in the newly formed hole you received.
Kayla took a step back, placing the used utensils back on the tray. “There, you're all done.”
You open your eyes wide as the pain dulled. Already? With extreme speed you pulled your phone strolling to the camera.
“You like it?” Kayla asked.
“I love it! I look scrumptious!~”Purring giddly.You tilted your head in different angles to see your freshly installed piercing from a different perspective.Modo gripped your face once again to get a closer look. Squishing the life out of you as he eyed the silver ringlet. He smiled wide showing out every sharp tooth in his jaw.
“Modo likes! See? You look beautiful, Solnishko!”
“Aww thank you Modo.” Giving proper thanks you gave the komodo dragon a peek on the snout. “It still kinda hurts though.”
“Oh ya, that’ll happen for like six to eight weeks till it heals fully. Just make sure you disinfect regularly.” You listen well to Kayla’s instructions, along with how to disinfect as she hands you a bottle of solution.
“And if it continues and becomes sore or red , I would suggest you get it checked out.” Ignoring that worrying prospect you and Modo waved the silver fox goodbye. Well ...in Modo’s special and unique way of saying bye. After paying the front desk you left the shop with a large grin of satisfaction. You had psyched yourself from fear of the needle that now you kinda feel silly for worrying so much. Modo interlocked his claws with yours. Walking down the block an idea clicked in the Komodo Dragon’s head.
“Next time Modo will take you to get a dermal! We match even more.” He jested.
Your eyes just glared at the lizard, looking like he’s said his most weirdest thing to say. “Hell no.”
