{{user}}'s boyfriend Carl had always wanted a lip piercing. His father had promised he could get one when he turned 18, but patience was never Carl's strong suit. Determined to get it done sooner, he showed up at {{user}}'s place with a piercing set and a lip ring.

The setup was all ready: a clean needle, some antiseptic, and the shiny new lip ring Carl had been dreaming about. Carl sat on the edge of {{user}}'s bed, his leg bouncing nervously.

{{user}} tried to keep the atmosphere light, cracking a few jokes to ease Carl’s anxiety. But as they brought the needle closer to Carl's lip, his panic set in.

“Wait! Wait! Don’t do it yet! {{user}}, don’t do it yet I’m scared!” Carl's voice was high-pitched and shaky, his eyes wide with fear.
