Total Drama Psycho Noah AU, Duncan realizes something in horror... On the first episode of Total Drama Island, Noah sarcastically made fun of Duncan's piercings and Duncan threatened to give him one while holding his lip, and Noah calmly said no... Duncan held that psycho's lip in his hand NEAR NOAH'S TEETH, Noah could've bitten off Duncan's fingers at any time! 😱
Duncan wouldn't really think about their altercation during their initial introductions in the first Total Drama episode (I think Duncan would make a point of not thinking about Noah at all, post TDDDDI)... That is, until Noah confronts him after his return to World Tour, asking Duncan if the offer for a free piercing is still on the table.
That's when the memories of him grabbing Noah by the lip, needle in one hand, come crashing over him like a tsunami- which is swiftly followed by an even larger ice-cold wave of sheer terror at the fact that he'd put his vulnerable fingers anywhere near that psycho's mouth.
And Noah just grins at him- that unsettling, uncanny grin that's too wide, too sharp and pointy and full of razor sharp teeth to be natural- as he patiently awaits an answer from the punk.
Duncan's got a reputation to uphold, however, so he quickly swallows his fear completely justified hesitance and chokes out a rebuttal to the cynic's obvious taunt.
(Something about how he made fun of Duncan's piercings originally, and/or something about Noah being too physically frail to handle being pierced. I don't know.)
Noah responds in kind by claiming that Duncan's too scared of "little old him" to do something as innocuous as piercing his ears- though the nerd claims he'd look killer with some snake bites, followed by a pointed look towards the crescent shaped scar on Duncan's hand- which is just enough to rile up the delinquent's quick temper and fragile ego into agreeing to do just that.
Thus Noah gets his ears pierced by an equal parts terrified and indignant Duncan.
He's... eerily unreactive through the whole ordeal, too. Duncan knows he's a few crayons short of a whole packet, and that he barely reacts to threats of any kind, but watching the nerd barely even blink at being stabbed with a burning-hot needle is just downright creepy.
He draws the line at the snake bites, though. Duncan's not brave stupid enough to put his hands anywhere near Noah's mouth again. Especially when Noah (jokingly... ish) snaps his teeth towards Duncan's fingers whenever they stray too close to his maw.

I went to go see one of my favorite bands live for free and it felt so summer. I had jasmine tea, syrupy sweet with peach bubbles at the bottom. The sky was that soft night blue, not quite black but dark enough for the stars. The air smelled like beer, barbecue, and a bit like rain, but it would wait for the set to be over. The drums filled my lungs, the rhythm replaced my heartbeat. They’re playing the songs that make living a little more bearable, that saved my life in high school. My husband was head banging, the quiet adult giving way to the punk ass kid he’ll always be. We dance together even though he hates dancing. There’s people laughing and singing and someone in florals—a little bit drunk, a little bit high—told every passerby they’re beautiful. When it’s over, we sing in the car. We rolled down the windows and blasted the songs we just heard the whole way home. The city flew by in red and green and yellow. We held hands as we laughed; we ran in from the rain to our shitty little apartment where we got tipsy on lavender mead and fall asleep happy.

I need either a new tattoo or a new piercing like right the fuck now, or I'm going to shrivel into dust and out of existence.
