***Milo's POV***

It's not just a picture. It means something. It means a lot, actually.

I have always wanted a tattoo. I told myself that one day, when I was old enough, I was going to put what meant the most to me on my skin. I want everyone to see it. I want proof that I made one good decision in my life.

When I was younger, I had an idea of what I wanted. I knew that it would be the only thing that had always brought me joy, painted permanently as a reminder to me.

After I have finally reached age of consent, I have no doubt.

I wish Neko would have just talked. I needed to convey to him why I wanted this. I needed this. He didn't have to do it with me. I would have loved that. But, I understand that not everyone wants or desires a permanent reminder.

I just wanted his approval. I wanted him to be excited. I really wanted him to sit beside me and hold my hand. I won't pretend that I'm not a little weary of the pain.

Ky said he would be there. He offered to get one too. I wouldn't mind, but I really wanted my Batman.

I'm not doing it. The excitement is gone. It wasn't worth the loss. Two whole days without the love of my life, all over a stupid tattoo.

Fuck it!

I just won't get it. No point anyways. He will see it and hate me everyday. That is the exact opposite of what I want.

My hands wring themselves, I can't sleep. It's been a long night. I contemplated just doing it anyways. I just haven't.

"Bean, you're miserable. Go home." Mrs. Amy sits beside me and rubs my back.

"It wasn't supposed to go like this." I whimper the words out. My head hurts. I'm exhausted.

"You have been up all night. And day. You need sleep." Mrs. Amy kisses my head softly and presses a hot cup of coffee into my hands.

"Where's Nat?" I ask gently.

"She went to grab breakfast. IHOP. You love waffles." Mrs. Amy smiles and I nod.

I didn't bring my fucking phone charger. All these people use are Galaxies.

"Can you send Neko a text? Just tell him I'm alive?" I ask pitifully.

"Why don't you wait for Nat? She's getting your charger from the house." Mrs. Amy brings a smile to my face, a genuine one.

Natalie walks in the house, flanked by Max. Ky and Lux follow behind.

"Feeling any better Bean?" Lux picks me up and puts me in his lap. I shake my head into his shoulder.

"I shouldn't have yelled." I cry into his shirt.

"Yeah. You actually should have. You aren't wrong. If you were, I would tell you." Lux cups my face and places a kiss on my forehead. He thumbs my tears away and offers me a kind grin.

"I just wanted to do something special. Something I couldn't lose. I always wanted it. Why does he have to be so angry?" My tears are relentless. My sobs loud, gut wrenching.

"Shhhhh. Calm down. It will be okay." Ky whispers words in my ear. These guys are always so encouraging. I always need so much fucking attention.

I hate it. I want to be strong like everyone else. I don't want to cry because my fiancée told me no.

"You are strong." Natalie pulls me from Lux' arms and holds me. Her head lies in my chest.

"Did I say that out loud?" I giggle. Oops.

"You didn't have to. I know you better than I know anyone else." Natalie sits me down beside her and slides a plate of chocolate chip waffles over for me.

Max jumps up and waggles a phone charger my way. I point to my phone on the counter with a pleading look. He plugs it in and sits down in front of us to eat.

"You're phone is blowing up." Mr. Mike points to my phone as it comes to life, finally grabbing an inch of charge.

I don't bother going over there at the moment. It will just die if I attempt to make it work at one percent.

I'm not even hungry. I stare at my food like it will grow legs and crawl down into my stomach.

I close my eyes and set my head on the table, pushing my plate away.

"Come on." Mr. Mike picks me up and carries me to the couch. He sits beside me and rubs my back. I roll my eyes until they close on their own accord.

This is such a fucked up reason to be miserable. If I don't stand my ground, he will always treat me like a child. I don't want that. I want to be his equal.

I know something is really bothering him. It can't possibly be the ink that has upset him so much. My body aches to be molded to my Batman. I need him. I want him.

I cry softly into my arms as I roll over on my side. I just want to rewind the days. I want to unmention the stupid thing that has caused all this pain.

I don't know how long I lay there. My eyes hurt, head throbs and I am so god damned tired. It's exhausting being upset.

Warm arms pick me up and I cry in protest.

"Please. Leave me alone." My heart is aching and I can't handle anymore love and affection. The caring is making me feel even less stable.

"I can't. I'm sorry." I curl my fingers around the shirt and cry harder.

"Just put me down." My begging comes out as pure whispers. I don't have the energy to even plead at this point.

"How about you hush that sexy mouth and give me a chance to apologize." The words register and I lift my swollen eyes to the possessor.

"Batman." If there were leaking pipes before, it's surely Niagara Falls at this point.

I'm sat down on my love's lap. His fingers nestle themselves into my hair. He pulls me back and kisses my forehead. His lips send warm shivers down my back.

"I'm an asshole. Don't bother arguing. I'm so fucking sorry Koala. I'm so damn sorry." Neko pulls me into his warm embrace and I snuggle down into his chest.

"I'm sorry. I won't do it. Please stop being angry with me. I hate that your mad at me." My words are full on wails. I climb around his body, situating myself to hold him true to my name.

"Don't. Don't you dare sacrifice what you desire because you think I'm mad. I am mad, not at you though. I'm mad at myself." Neko rubs my back and I yawn into his chest. He's so warm.

He pulls my face back and looks at me sadly. His eyes fill with remorse and love.

"What are you getting? Why?" His words soothe my open wounds with a calming balm.

"I want something that reminds me of you. I just want everyone to know what you mean to me." I sniffle as I try to clear my head. My mind releasing an image of what I need.

"Tell me about it. Every detail." Neko looks at me with his dark brown eyes, eyes that encourage me to tell him what I really want.

"I'm so tired." I whisper. My eyes are threatening to take me under.

"I mean, if that's what you want. That's not that original. But, whatever you want." Neko smiles down on me and cups my jaw. He places a small kiss on my lips.

I hum in deep satisfaction. His kiss is just enough to wake me from my sleepiness. At least for a few moments, anyways.

"Batman, a real heart, like the organ or maybe just both our heart beats. A music note and a time piece. A crown. I want the clock set to 10:48 pm." I look up at him as he stares at me in awe.

"Explain it." Neko rubs his thumb down the line of my jaw.

"Well obviously you are Batman, my hero. My dark knight in leather armor. You're the reason my heart beats, loud and alive. Music is our thing. A crown because I'm your King and you are mine as well. A watch with 10:48 because that is the minute the clock showed when you asked me to be yours. It's not just art or whatever." I explain every singular piece that will remind me daily of the blessing I received.

"I'm sorry that I was so adamant about not hearing you out. I apologize for squashing your flame with my fears. I love you baby. It sounds beautiful. You are beautiful. Please forgive me." Neko descends on my lips when I smile and nod my head at my Batman. I would forgive him seventy times seven, every second of every day.

"Does that mean you won't be mad if I get it?" I pull his lips back to ask while staring into his warm chocolate eyes.

"When you get it, I will be right there. Thank you for trying to talk to me about it. I didn't handle it correctly. I was wrong." Neko stands up with me in his arms. He walks around gathering my things. He throws my keys to Max and tells them to come over later. We wave goodbye to our family and he takes me out to the truck, placing me inside.

"We are going to go to sleep. We both need it." Neko gets me from the truck and carries me inside.

I lay down on the bed and he helps me dispose of my clothes. Neko slides behind me and I sigh in utter contentment. Love radiates through our skin and I nestle up to his form. He wraps his arms around me and I push my ass towards his lap.

"I said sleep." Neko warns softly.

"I want to sleep. But, I need you." I turn in his arms and kiss his lips. It wasn't supposed to be a long kiss. I just couldn't help myself. I knot my fingers in his hair and moan loudly as his tongue sweeps into my mouth.

My cock already transformed into a titanium pillar. His hands grip my hips and he pulls me into his lap. I slide down on his fingers and let my eyes flutter back at the stretching sensation.

"God you're gorgeous." Neko pumps his fingers in, moving slow but getting as deep as possible.

My body lights up in anticipation.

"Make love to me." I whimper in lustful need. I have to feel us move as one.

Neko flips us over and removes his hand. He pushes into me slowly. I can feel my hole relax for him, pulling him in. The elation at him plugging in my missing puzzle piece is absolutely divine.

"I was scared." Neko whispers. His cock pushes into me and he shimmies his hips, burying himself balls deep.

"Of what?" I watch as his eyes water. His body moves inside of me, slowly repairing our broken days.

"That you would outgrow me. Want someone else." My mind barely registers the absurdity. He is literally everything to me.

"We wasted two days on your illegitimate fear." I push my head back and stretch my neck so he can mark me with his hickeys.

"Yeah. I just love you so much. I got scared." Neko places his lips on my flesh, sucking and nipping. I love wearing his marks.

"Don't be. It's you. It's always been you. I got you. I'm never letting you go." My mind loses concentration when he captures my lips in a blistering assault of love. I accept his purchase. My whole being thrives off of this man's love.

"I'm going to cum." Neko whispers through a broken pant. He is so fucking sexy.

"Cum for me. Fill me." I moan when his hand wraps around my shaft, pulling tightly at my engorged member.

He pushes deeply. I feel the turn of his hips as he circles himself into me, around me and through me. My body trembles as I explode in his hand. My eyes pool with tears at the amazing feeing that washes over me.

"Baby." Neko moans loudly. He arches his back and his cock strokes me desperately.

"I love you Neko. I'm yours." My words cause him to cry out. I watch him fall apart inside of me. His body trembles. His cock thumps inside of me as he fills me with his seed.

"I love you Milo. No one has ever been so in love as I am with you." Neko kisses me and we fall into an embrace.

Neko slides out of me and I curl up on his chest. I squeeze my body closely, trying to hold his essence inside. I kiss his chest and let my eyes finally close.

Sleep finds me and I follow it willingly.
