Work Text:
You looked at your reflection in the mirror, touching your earlobe with your fingers.
"Healed... finally." you muttered to yourself, grabbing the ball of your most recently healed piercing wanted to take it out.
Unfortunately, your satisfaction quickly vanished when it turned out that replacing the earring would be difficult than it looked like. It was aways like that; that stupid ball wouldn't budge, just slid between your fingers, giving the illusion that you could easily unscrew it.
Out of the corner of your eye you saw a familiar silhouette approaching.
"Oh, Zeno, can you help me with that please?" you pointed to little shiny ball on your ear "It doesn't want to move and I'm about to get a hand cramp."
Without a word, he stepped closer to you, grabbing your chin and turning your head so he could easily complete his newly entrusted task.
Well, that move was unexpected, but not unwanted.
Of course, he did it much more efficiently. Just let's blame it on the fact that it was much easier to do it with gloves on mhm.
"Tell me," he suddenly said, handing you the tip of the earring "Are you able to perform a basic piercing?"
"Basic? You mean a lobe piercing?"
And that's how you became his private piercer for the day, which is why he was now sitting in front of you with his glasses on the table.
You began preparing all the supplies you'd need for the piercing: needle, marker, disinfection preparation, tweezers and a new earring. Everything was disinfected and ready for this 'operation', and there were gloves on your hands.
He surprised you with such a request.
Yet, you'd often felt his gaze on your ears, face, and other parts of your body (where you had earrings) but you didn't do anything about it. It was nothing new, people often looked at you with curiosity or disgust, so you just ignored it.
But his golden eyes were focused on the sparkling jewelry adorning your body more often than you'd even thought.
It looks like it intrigued him more that you supposed. And now, he wanted to try it too.
You make a little dot on his earlobe with a marker.
"See if you like the spot." you handed him small mirror.
Zeno took it from you and stared silently at the red dot. His eyebrows furrowed slightly and the corners of his eyelids tightened as he clearly didn't like something.
You smiled seeing his reaction; Albert made the same face when he didn't like something. It was funny to see so many differences between the two of them, but the reactions or reflexes remained almost identical— they were so different, yet so much the same.
"I'd prefer it to be further back." he pointed to a spot on his earlobe where he wanted to have it.
"Okay, no problem. We just gonna move it a little." you wiped the marker mark with a cotton swab and drew a new point "What about now?" you leaned away from him, waiting for his reaction.
Zeno looked in the mirror again and nodded.
"Now it's perfect."
Since you had the green light, the needle and auxiliary tools were put into action.
Zeno remained seated straight in his seat, eyes closed, as if having his body pierced was some kind of a spa treatment.
"Now, take a deep breath," you said, inserting the needle into the disinfected soft tissue of skin "And exhale. Are we feeling okay? Any dizziness or nausea?" you grabbed the jewelry he'd chosen.
"You're treating me like some kind of child." his voice was more amusement than outrage.
"Not like a child, but like a normal customer." you put down the needle and wiped his ear with a disinfectant swab, where a small metal ball now shine on the light.
And so, in a matter of moments, Zeno got what he asked for; a nice one lobe piercing.
You smiled, taking off disposable gloves, pleased with your work and the way he looked in the mirror, observing that new 'addition' to his body.
"It suit you handsome."
Zeno looked at you as the words left your mouth, but suddenly another voice interrupted the moment beetwen the two of you.
"What a unnecessary body modifications."
Uhu the destroyer of good fun has arrived.
The one and only, Albert Wesker.
You turned to him, greeting him with a small smile as he stood there with his arms crossed over his chest like a disgruntled parent.
"From what I remember, you also had a 'piercing' and it was quite a large one." you smiled even more seeing how he clearly didn't like your comment "Hello to you too."
"Be quick, we have to leave in a minute." after these words he disappeared again.
"Okay. Well, I think that's enough for you to pay me," you looked back at Zeno and your smile turned into a smirk.
"Pay you?" he stood up from his seat, putting glasses back on his nose.
"Yes. Every favor must get paid, that's the rule number one." you put your hands on your hips as he approached you.
"Since when do you stick to the rules, huh?" his hands found yours, pulling them to his neck.
You hugged him around the neck, feeling the warmth of his chest against yours and how his heart trembled for a second. "Me? Always! I am a good citizen and I follow the rules every day and night."
Zeno laughed.
"I would argue about it, but okay, I'm content with today's service so I'll pay."
You closed your eyes as he leaned down to place a gentle kiss on your closed eyelid, left one and then the right one, ending his show of gratitude with a kiss lower, on your neck.
"You'll get the rest when we get back." he whispered in your ear.
You looked at him as he straightened up and then your face fell as you heard, well, the same voice but in a different tone.
"A minute has already passed!" Albert's voice bounced off the walls.
"Liar!" you barked back with laughter, walking towards him with Zeno.
Considering the 'uniqueness' of his body, the piercing healed smoothly.
"Want to change it? You can take one of my earrings, they are all cleaned. I have a lot of single earrings because I lost a pair of them somewhere."
It had been a week since his ear was pierced. Now, he was lying with his head on your lap as you checked if everything had healed properly in such a short time.
"Mmm, I'll pick something out."
After his words there was silence, which did not last long because he suddenly came up with a new idea.
"I would like to get my tongue pierced too."
"You want what?" you and Albert said at the same time, but tone of his voice was less enthusiastic than yours.
Ah yes, I forgot to mention that Wesker was sitting not far from you, absorbed in his own affairs.
"A tongue piercing." Zeno repeated with a smirk.
