It’s a slow day at the shop despite the several appointments I have today, but it’s one of those days where everyone just kind of migrates here to hang out when there’s nothing else to do. Conner comes in to see Kayson, Jay stops by for Finn; and Jase was here this morning, but Joker is still lingering, even though all of his appointments were this morning. Cam is getting ink done by his man, but judging the way he keeps piping up and turning around on the table, Jody is never going to get it finished. Morgan was supposed to come for lunch earlier, but Bree needed to get some things done while Morgan was around to keep Haley company, so I was just going to see him at home later. He was probably at home, already. I’d text him before I left to see if he wanted me to pick up dinner.

“Will you hold still, I’m going to fuck this up,” Jody says, agitated.

“Don’t frown at me, sir. You know what it does to me.” Cameron wags his eyebrows, dramatically. I can’t help but laugh at the pair; they’re the most unlikely couple. I can’t imagine the ways that Cameron puts him in his place. I try not to imagine it, actually.

“Jody….” Joker hesitated,

“Yeah?” Jody said without raising his head.

“I want to ask Jase to marry me.” That….came out of fucking nowhere. My head flew up to gauge everyone’s reaction; especially Jody’s.

“Oh shit,” Kayson whispered on a not so silent whisper.

“You what?” That was Cameron who also probably didn’t mean to say that as loud as it came out.

“No,” Jody said, not even taking a second to think about it. He bent his head and continued wiping Cameron’s hip with his paper towel.

“Oh, shit,” Kayson said again, earning an elbow from the man on his lap.

“What do you mean, no?” Joker asks, defensive for a good reason. Jody ignored him and got back to Cameron’s hip. Cameron was looking surprised, but he also looked…reflective?

“Let me rephrase.” Joker started, and I looked over at Kayson to keep his mouth shut. “Out of respect for you and Cameron, I’m asking for your blessing. I hope I have it because I feel like I’ve earned it, but I’m asking Jase to marry me.

“Why’d you ask if you didn’t give a fuck about the answer?” Jody growled but still didn’t look up.

“I respect you. A lot.” Joker started, “You guys stepped up when Jase needed somebody; you care about him, love him like he’s blood. I appreciate that. I know you want what’s best for him, both of you. That’s me.” He finishes, and I hear Jody scoff. I almost bite out my own, “Oh shit” because even though Jase is a bit younger than him and Joker is a bit younger than us; he’s still a man. A man who loves his man and takes their relationship very seriously and Jody just scoffed at that. Jody’s a big man, but that was out of line, and I don’t think Joker will stand for that.
