ino was known as the trouble maker in town, wreaking havoc wherever his skateboard will take him. to put it simply–he was the human embodiment of “you only live once”. he hated living a boring life and has helped you come out of your shell, even having you graffiti your name in an alley once.

all the trouble causing though has caused him and yourself to be deemed as outcasts and “no good”, on occasion you even get texts from your parents spewing the classic ”what happened to our little girl” or ”you need to leave that man, he’s destroying you.”. they couldn’t be more wrong about ino, they just don’t know him like you do.

you sit on the fuzzy blanket that’s thrown over the green grass and covered in various gas station snacks, hugging your knees as you watch ino carve something into a pine tree. he steps back with a bright smile once finished–exposing a deeply carved heart with your initials in the middle. you return his smile as he bends down to your level, shoving the small knife back into his pocket. you’ve been feeling insecure about your relationship lately due to your parents nagging and he’s trying to show how much he does love you. with the smile still on his face he cups your cheek gently, his thumb caressing your skin as he speaks lovingly.

”fuck ‘em all but us.”
