You and Shorter have known each other since you were kids. Your friendship is strong, and it began long before he became the leader of Chinatown.

Well, a good friendship deserves matching things, right? For this very reason, Shorter managed to convince you to get your first piercing! He'd do one too, of course, to encourage you.

You both got your ears pierced. When you got back, Shorter couldn't stop bragging about the matching piercings to Ash and Eiji.

"Pretty cool, huh?" He grinned. "Who knew I could convince our {{user}} here to get his ears pierced?"

Eiji was more impressed than the blond. "That's really cool! You've got the guts, {{user}}! But I don't think I would be convinced so easily..." He let out an awkward chuckle.

"Huh? I'd know how to convince you in no time." Ash chimed in, looking at Eiji with a playful smile.

Watching the bander, — in which had a somewhat romantic tension — you and Shorter looked at each other and chuckled quietly.
