Chapter 9: Its Supposed to Hurt
"Are you nervous?" Mark asks tentatively. I nod. "Of course, babe. But, I'm excited at the same time."
He smiles at me, then turns back toward the road. He is taking me to a tattoo parlor, where I'm getting my first tattoo.
"So, I know the artist, she's an old friend of mine. Her name is Ellis." He says, trying to take my mind of the upcoming pain.
"Really?" I say, smiling as I see what he is trying to do. "Yeah, she is in a relationship with Daniel, actually. His parents haven't met her yet, so that's why he hasn't ever mentioned her."
"Oh, wow, that's super cool." I say. He pulls up at the parlor and we go inside. "Hi, you must be Mark's girlfriend, (Y/N)!" A lady says, coming up to me and shaking my hand. I shake it back and he gives Mark a quick hug.
"Come over here, lets get started." She says. I sit in the chair and Mark sits beside me. "Do you have any idea what you might like?" She asks. I nod. "I do, actually." I pull out a piece of paper and slide it over to her.
"This is what I would like." It was Mark's logo, with the words "Even if you don't believe in yourself now, know that I believe in you." Mark looks at it and smiles, his eyes filling with tears. "Oh...(Y/N)" He hugs me tightly and I return it, tears blooming in my eyes as well.
"You love me when I can't, Mark, so this is to help me when you're gone. " Ellis smiles. "Its very beautiful. Where would you like me to put it?" I shrug off my jacket and show her my wrist, the only place on my arm not marred with past memories.
"Here." I say. She grins and gets out her tools. "Okay. Since this is your first time getting a tattoo, I will warn you, it does hurt, but it won't hurt for long."
I nod as she takes my hand and applies the outline. Mark takes my other hand as she puts the needle to my wrist and begins. I realize what she means. It does hurt, a little.
We sit there, Mark holding my hand, and Ellis carefully applying the tattoo with practiced hands. "I love you, Mark." I say. He pecks my forehead. "I love you too."
"Here you go, you are all done!" She says. "Oh my gosh!" I say looking at it. Its perfect." I stand up and hug her tightly. "Thank you so much!" I say. She smiles at me. "Just doing my job. Tell Daniel I will be ready at my apartment at seven."
Mark nods and takes my hand. We get into the car and go home. Sitting in the car, I look at the tattoo from every angle. Now every time I come close to making a decision that would hurt me, I would see the words of the man I loved most in the world.
The cyndago boys were waiting the moment we got home. "Let us see it! What did you get?" Ryan asks. I show them and they ooh and aah.
"Hey Daniel, I met your girlfriend today. She said to tell you to pick her up at seven." He blushes and nods. "Thanks."
I go upstairs and pull out my camera. "Hey guys! Its me, Little Miss Crybaby(thats my youtuber name) here, and I got some important news!"
I lift up my arm. "I got my first tattoo! I know I said that if we raised over $75,000 at the last livestream, I would get a tattoo! Its a little markiplier logo, with my favorite quote of his underneath."
I talk for a few minutes before shutting off my camera. Mark comes in and we lay on the bed, cuddling. He gently lifts my wrist and stares at my tattoo.
"I love you."
