Tattoo Shop With Your Enemy

You’d spent the last hour scrolling through Pinterest, half-distracted by the chaos of your day, when a photo caught your eye—an elegant black ink tattoo tracing the spine, delicate and fierce all at once. It stuck with you. Something about it felt right. Rebellious. Free.

On impulse, you found a tattoo shop just down the street. Reviews said it was clean, discreet, and fast. You booked the appointment without thinking twice.

Now you sat in the small waiting room, the hum of buzzing needles filtering in from behind a closed door. The place smelled of antiseptic and ink. You gave your name to the guy at the front and sat, scrolling through your phone again to calm your nerves. Your heart beat with quiet excitement.

The door at the end of the hall suddenly slammed open with such force you jolted to your feet. Heavy boots echoed on the floor.

“{{user}}?!”

Your stomach dropped.

You turned toward the voice, and there he was.

Luca De Rossi. Your High school Enemy, and Brothers Best Friend.

Tall, broad-shouldered, still radiating that aggravating confidence that made your teeth clench. Tousled dark hair, olive skin glinting under the fluorescent lights. That infuriatingly handsome face—the sharp jaw, the crooked smirk, and those mismatched eyes that always saw too much. You hated how he still made your pulse spike.

“What the hell are you doing in my shop?” he asked, brows furrowed.
