"Am I asking all these questions for nothing?
I'm wondering if anyone's there
And I really need to make a confession
I hate to say that I'm a little bit scared."
• Understand, Shawn Mendes

Ainsley knew Ange was going to be mad at him when he'd come up with the idea of getting a tattoo with a forged signature on the permission slip. He honestly hadn't even been a hundred percent sure it was going to work, but Jace had gone for it, and Ains had been beyond thrilled that he was about to get his first ink ever. Angela had told him absolutely not until he was 18, but with the occasion of his birthday just having passed, and Jace being a friend of the family besides, Ainsley knew that it was his best bet to go to Jace for a tattoo. Well, that and the fact that Clint had scared him stiff when it came to seeing an artist he didn't know to ink his body.

( So Jace it was, and the ploy had worked... )

Misbehave

Jace looked uncertainly at the adult consent form in his hand, and then up at Ainsley standing there with an eager grin on his face. Then he looked back down at the form, and then once again to Ainsley's face. "Ange changed her mind?"

"Yeah!" Ainsley replied with a nod, tugging at his scarf to loosen it. "Belated birthday present."

( Unfortunately, Jace wasn't having the best of days... )

Taking Chances

It's weird how meeting my biological father feels like it has changed everything. Not in a bad way. I never expected to want to meet him. I've known for years now that he always told my moms that if I wanted to meet him, he would do it. It was impossible to not feel scared or nervous. In the wake of feeling so scared and nervous thinking I might have had cancer, though, this is child's play.

I didn't know that he had leukemia until I started to get sick and my moms told me. It wasn't as easy as getting a blood test, because apparently the body could be a fucked up place sometimes, and there were all sorts of weird and wonderful types of cancer you could have. That all aside, I didn't end up having it, but I was pretty fucking sick. Never felt that bad in my life. When it was happening, Mom told me that Flynn - that's my dad - had been asking about me and told me that they had been sending him updates about me with photos all my life.

( What I knew was that he was the sperm donor when my moms wanted a kid. At the time, even if he was pretty young, he said that because he never had a dad himself, that if I ever got to a point in my life I wanted to meet him, he would be down with that... )
