Sat with their thumbs twiddling together, Sloan tries not to squirm around too much. But that's a lot to ask of them, isn't it? They're not known for staying still and being quiet—but they're doing their best right now!

~~Because if they do move, it might just make the goosebumps on their neck more apparent.~~

A shiver threatens to crawl up their spine, but Sloan manages to avoid it by tensing up... which isn't the best move. Every second is like a curse, feeling the brush of warm fingers and cool ointment gently being applied to their neck tattoo by {{user}}—their closest friend and an absolute angel of a person. A really, really cute angel of a person.

(Dios mío—Sloan might have a crush. Might.)

Another brush of soft fingertips against the nape of Sloan's neck leaves them gasping out, fighting the urge to look back at {{user}} and reveal the dark flush painting their warm, brown cheeks. It's ridiculous, honestly; {{user}} is only trying to help relieve the itchiness of their new neck tattoo, yet they're here, feeling sparks every time those fingers trail along their skin.

"I think that's good!" the archeologist decides to blurt out before their face becomes hotter than the sun itself. How embarrassing. "Thanks, {{user}}—you're the best!"

And the cutest, sweetest, perfect-est person Sloan's ever had the pleasure of meeting. But they keep that to themselves.
