ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ 3 - ꜱᴛᴜᴅʏ ᴅᴀᴛᴇ

Summary: In the middle of exams and a diet of instant noodles, you decide to order some take out. What you did not expect was your delivery person to be a hot guy on a motorcycle, who, as fate would have it, happens to be a fellow student at your university.

a.n.: study date with Law, and Penguin spotting you two, getting on Laws nerves <3

[ꜱᴛᴏʀʏ ɪɴᴅᴇx]

Despite your brief dive into his social media, the little information you’d gathered did reassure you that he was indeed, a med student. His profile was private, yet you could read his bio still. It barley stated anything, besides a stethoscope emoji and “North”. You also looked through the pictures he was tagged in and saw some posts with who you guessed were his friends. In none of the photos did he seem particularly happy—his face always distant, never smiling.

The snow in the background, along with his clear mention of “North” in his bio, made you think he came from the North Blue, a rich seaport country known for its scholars and wealth. It left you wondering how someone from such a place could have financial problems. If he really was from there, why was he doing food deliveries while in med school?

You guessed that explained his cold demeanor, though you weren’t entirely sure. Maybe it was more than just his roots—something deeper, more guarded. Law really was a mystery to you, you had to admit…

With a quiet sigh, you finally stopped fussing with your outfit and began packing for the study session. You tossed your things into your bag, grabbed your keys, and headed out the door. After a few bus stops, you arrived at the small café where you’d suggested meeting up. It wasn’t anything fancy—just a place you liked for its cheap coffee and soft music.

As soon as you stepped inside, your gaze swept the café, trying to find that familiar face.

In the far corner, away from the bustle, Law sat with a cup beside his laptop, his hoodie drawn low over his head. Strands of messy black hair peeking out, giving him a cozy but tired look. His long legs were stretched out under the table as he typed, oblivious to the world around him.

You inhaled deeply, steadying the butterflies in your chest, and made your way over. The excitement buzzing inside you was undeniable, you’d been so eager for today that sleep had been non-existent the night before. Somehow, you hadn’t expected things to get this far—having his number, meeting up. Even though it was technically a study date rather than a real date, which carried its own expectations, it still felt like a big step. The label “study date” took some pressure off surely. You didn’t have to worry about impressing him with small talk or charm, instead, you could focus on the shared exam next week. The thought was comforting—less about romantic interest, more about surviving this test together. Yet, deep down, the thought of sitting across from Law, even under the guise of studying, still set your heart racing.

As you approached his table, you hesitated for a moment, standing there, unsure if he’d noticed you. At first, he seemed unaware, lost in whatever he was working on. But then, sensing your presence, he paused and pulled an earbud from beneath his hood. He was about to give you a cranky look, yet when he noticed it was you, his frown shifted into a mild surprise, followed by a faint smile that made your heart skip. He straightened up slightly, his attention now on you.

"Sorry, didn’t hear you," he murmured, reaching for his other earbud and slipping it into its case.

"Don’t worry about it," you said with a smile, sliding into the seat across from him. As you placed your bag down and pulled out your study materials, you couldn’t help but ask, "What were you working on?"

Law watched you for a moment, his gaze following your movements as you got settled. At your question, though, he let out a deep sigh, rubbing his eyes in clear frustration. His posture slumped as he sank further into his chair, his knee almost brushing against yours under the table.

"Ugh, nothing much really," he grumbled. "A friend of mine is writing his thesis and asked me to look it over. He added so many puns it’s basically unreadable."

You couldn’t help the grin forming on your lips, and didn’t notice how this first conversation made you relax quite a bit. It felt more natural to talk to him like this, as if you two really were just uni colleges. It was quite the contrast to the delivery Law you knew. And he seemed to be at ease with your presence as well.

“I really have to see the puns…can I?” You asked with a light chuckle in your words, as you leaned a bit closer in anticipation. Law rolled his eyes with a light grin and turned the laptop towards you. There were quite a lot of comments on the document you saw, and a lot of them just said “???” or “ew”.

With one slender inked finger he pointed at the screen “This one is the worst…”

You leaned in closer, your eyes skimming over the highlighted text. It read: 'In the field of marine biology, things can get a bit... fishy.'

You snorted, clapping a hand over your mouth as you stifled a laugh. "Oh my god, thats bad.," you said between chuckles.

Law shook his head again, a heavy sigh escaping him, though a grin tugged at the corner of his lips as he saved the file and turned his laptop back towards him. “Anyway,” he said, straightening up, “I’ll finish that misery later. Let’s focus on biochemistry now.”

For a moment, you wanted to ask about his friends, curious to know more about the people in his life and maybe learn a bit more about him too. But Law was already shifting gears, getting straight to the point. It didn’t disappoint you exactly—just reminded you that, despite how at ease he seemed, there were still walls up. He was private, and it was clear he wasn’t the type to open up easily. Even though he seemed comfortable around you, this was still a study session.

“Sure,” you said, snapping back to the task at hand. “Topic 8, right? I finished up those cycles... let me grab them.” You rifled through your bag, pulling out your notes and spreading them across the table.

Law’s gaze drifted down, scanning the pages. They were well organized—every chemical structure carefully drawn, names and enzymes clearly labeled, with helpful mnemonics in the margins. You had even highlighted key enzymes in a way that made them pop without overwhelming the page with color. He didn’t say anything, but you caught the slight flicker of something in his expression. Was that... approval?

He gave a small nod, leaning in to take a closer look. “Yeah, this part,” he muttered, pointing to a specific reaction, “it just won’t stick in my brain.”

As he spoke, he absentmindedly rubbed his cheek, before looking up at you with those intense, stormy eyes. For a split second, you forgot how to breathe. It wasn’t fair how effortlessly handsome he was—sharp features softened just enough by that calm voice. And here you were, supposed to be focusing on biochemical reactions, not him.

You cleared your throat, trying to pull yourself together. “Uh, yeah, this one's tricky. But the mnemonic I used really helps—let me walk you through it.”

Law’s gaze stayed locked on yours a moment longer than necessary, and for a heartbeat, the air between you felt heavier than it should. But then, just like that, the moment passed, and you were back to studying.

This was definitely going to be harder than you thought.

After hours of intense studying, testing each other with questions you thought might appear on the exam, you both hit a wall. The material was exhausting, and your head was beginning to throb. Law, who was usually so composed, seemed more drained than usual. He kept rubbing his face and leaning back in his chair, while you let out a sigh every now and then.

"Think we're done for the day?" you finally asked, the weight of your tiredness catching up with you.

Law gave a small nod, looking equally worn out. "Yeah, pretty much."

Packing up your things, you both stood up and made your way out of the café. As soon as you stepped outside, you noticed the sky had darkened, and the evening had settled in. You zipped up your jacket, slipping your hands into the pockets to ward off the chill. Law paused for a moment, glancing down the street in silence, before he turned to you.

“Where are you heading?”

The question hung in the air, casual but with a hint of something else. You knew he wasn’t offering to walk you home—Law didn’t seem like the type to make those kinds of gestures. But if you were headed the same way, it wouldn’t make sense not to walk together. Besides, you had to admit, a part of you hoped your routes would match up, giving you a little more time with him outside of studying.

You nodded towards your direction. “Just heading to catch the bus.”

Law simply gave you an approved hum.

A small rush of relief washed over you as you both started walking together in comfortable silence. Law wasn’t great at small talk, but somehow the quiet wasn’t awkward. There was something reassuring in just sharing the space with him, without the need to fill it with forced conversation.

The rhythmic sound of your footsteps filled the void between you, yet got distracted when someone from behind was starting to yell.

"Yo, Law!"

The sudden shout made you freeze mid-step, and you turned around, startled. Law, on the other hand, immediately pinched the bridge of his nose, clearly recognizing the voice and not being pleased about it. He let out an annoyed sigh, his irritation evident as he turned to face the approaching figure—Penguin.

As Penguin jogged over, Law’s annoyance only deepened.

“Do I know you?” Law deadpanned, cocking an eyebrow at the young man who now stood grinning before the two of you.

You wished you could run away and hide immediately, trying not to admit that you recognized Penguin from Law’s social media. A sense of shame crept in—stalking his profile hadn’t been your finest moment, but curiosity had gotten the better of you. And now here you were, face-to-face with one of Law's closest friends, feeling oddly exposed.

Penguin, unfazed by Law's sarcasm, chuckled. "Ha, ha, very funny. What are you doing out here?"

Before Law could answer, Penguin’s eyes shifted to you, his smile faltering briefly as surprise flashed across his face. Then, as if putting pieces together, his expression morphed into a knowing grin that made your stomach flip. Law could see it coming a mile away.

He glanced back at Law with a mischievous glint in his eye, clearly ready to stir the pot. “Is this your girlfr—”

“No.” Law cut him off sharply, his voice cold and final, giving Penguin a glare that could have frozen water. “What do you want?”

Penguin raised his hands defensively, the grin still plastered on his face. “Alright, alright, geez. Just wanted to say hi.”

For a moment, you stood awkwardly between them. Law’s frustration with Penguin was unmistakable, but it was hard to miss the closeness between the two. Still, the tension in the air was thick enough that you almost wanted to step away and give them space.

Law rolled his eyes, sighing quietly before shoving his hands into the pockets of his hoodie. "Studying and reading over your thesis. I’m not finished yet, though."

Penguin waved it off with a casual gesture, looking genuinely grateful that Law had even taken the time to read through it. You were surprised by how civil Law was being—especially after all the grumbling he'd done earlier about the puns. But he didn’t bring that up. Not a single complaint. This brief interaction gave you a deeper glimpse into Law. You couldn’t help but hope that cold, cutting stare would never be aimed your way, even though Penguin seemed to be used to it and taking it lightly.

"No biggie, take your time," Penguin replied, still grinning. Then his eyes flicked between you and Law. "Hey, you guys walking home? Mind if I tag along?"

You felt a twinge of disappointment, secretly wishing you and Law could’ve had just a bit more time alone together, but you knew better. Penguin was his friend, and you couldn’t exactly say no. Law, true to his nature, simply nodded, giving you no real choice in the matter.

The three of you started walking down the street, the night air cool but not uncomfortable. It wasn’t long before you realized you’d have to split off, your route separating from theirs. From their easy back-and-forth, you figured out that they were flatmates, heading home together. When the time came to say goodbye, the parting was brief—Law’s nod short and polite, Penguin throwing you a casual wave.

You boarded the bus, your thoughts still lingering on the evening, hoping you'd have the chance to arrange another study session with Law soon.

As you disappeared down the street, Penguin couldn’t help but shoot Law a sidelong glance. “So... who’s she?”

“Uni colleague.”

Penguin raised an eyebrow, a knowing smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. “You never meet up with people from your uni.”

“Apparently I do.”

“Since when?”

“Since now,” Law snapped, his voice a little sharper than necessary. “Now leave me alone, for God’s sake.”

Penguin chuckled, but didn’t push further, knowing well enough that Law didn’t like talking about his personal life. Still, he couldn’t shake the curiosity. In the years they’d lived together, Law had never met up outside of classes with anyone from med school. He always studied alone, either holed up in his room or in the quiet corners of the library. Law had always claimed studying with others was inefficient, a waste of time.

Yet, here he was.

The Office Transformation: Embracing the Arab Way

Chapter 1: The Arrival

The fluorescent lights hummed softly above the rows of cubicles, casting a sterile glow over the office space where Michael sat, staring at his computer screen. His fingers hovered over the keyboard, yet his mind was miles away, lost in the monotony of his daily routine. The soft clatter of typing and the occasional ring of a phone punctuated the air, blending into a familiar symphony of corporate life. It was a rhythm Michael knew well—too well, perhaps. Each day felt like a carbon copy of the last, a loop of meetings, emails, and deadlines that left him feeling unfulfilled, though he could never quite pinpoint why.

Michael had always been the kind of employee who kept his head down and did his work. He was efficient, reliable, and thoroughly unremarkable. He arrived on time, left on time, and managed to maintain a low profile in an office that thrived on competition and individualism. His colleagues were much the same—everyone focused on their own tasks, rarely venturing beyond polite exchanges or work-related discussions. It was a culture of self-sufficiency, where connections were transactional, and relationships were built on professional necessity rather than genuine camaraderie.

But there was an underlying dissatisfaction in Michael’s life, a vague sense of unease that gnawed at him in quiet moments. He felt as though something was missing, though he couldn’t quite articulate what it was. It was as if he were waiting for something to disrupt the monotony, to shake him out of his comfortable yet stifling routine.

That disruption came in the form of Amir.

Amir’s arrival was announced with little fanfare—just a brief email from HR welcoming him to the team. But from the moment Amir stepped into the office, it was clear that he was different. Michael watched him from his desk, noting the way Amir greeted everyone with a warm, “As-salamu alaykum,” his voice carrying a gentle authority that commanded attention without demanding it. There was a confidence in Amir’s stride, a sense of purpose that was both intriguing and unsettling.

Amir was tall and well-dressed, his attire reflecting a blend of modernity and tradition. He wore a crisp white shirt tucked into tailored trousers, but it was the subtle details that stood out—an intricately woven belt, a small emblem of a crescent moon on his lapel, and a rosary of wooden prayer beads looped around his wrist. His dark hair was neatly trimmed, and his beard was carefully groomed, adding to his air of quiet dignity.

As Amir made his way around the office, introducing himself with a firm handshake and a genuine smile, Michael felt a pang of discomfort. It wasn’t that Amir was unfriendly—quite the opposite. There was something about his presence that seemed to challenge the very fabric of the office culture. The way he spoke, the way he carried himself, the way he made eye contact—it all felt different, foreign, yet undeniably compelling.

Michael’s discomfort grew as the days passed. He noticed how Amir took time out of his day to pray, unfurling a small prayer mat in a quiet corner of the office, facing Mecca with a serene focus that seemed to transcend the noise of the workplace. Michael found himself stealing glances at Amir during these moments, both fascinated and uneasy. It was something he had never seen in the office before—a ritual so deeply personal, yet performed with such confidence and openness.

Then there were the snacks. Amir often brought in traditional Arab treats—dates, baklava, and spiced nuts—placing them on the communal table with a gracious invitation for everyone to share. At first, Michael avoided them, sticking to his usual coffee and granola bar. But curiosity got the better of him, and one day he tried a date. It was sweet, rich, and surprisingly satisfying, a small taste of a culture that was slowly seeping into the office environment.

Despite these small gestures, Michael couldn’t shake the feeling of resistance. He was used to the office being a certain way, and Amir’s presence seemed to be disrupting that equilibrium. The greetings in Arabic, the prayers, the snacks—it all felt like a subtle shift in the atmosphere, a shift that Michael wasn’t sure he was ready for.

As he sat at his desk, staring at the blinking cursor on his screen, Michael realized that Amir’s arrival had done more than just disrupt the office dynamic—it had disrupted him. For the first time in years, Michael found himself questioning who he was, what he believed in, and what he wanted from life. The office, once a place of routine and predictability, now felt like the starting point of a journey he hadn’t expected to take.

And so, with a mixture of apprehension and curiosity, Michael began to pay closer attention to Amir—not just to his actions, but to the values and beliefs that underpinned them. It was the beginning of a transformation, though Michael didn’t know it yet. A transformation that would challenge everything he thought he knew about himself, and ultimately lead him to a place he never imagined he would go.

In the days that followed, Michael’s internal conflict deepened, mirroring the experiences of many who have faced cultural change and personal identity crises. He couldn’t shake the feeling that something significant was unfolding within him, something that would require him to confront his deepest fears and desires. It was a journey that would test his resolve, push him out of his comfort zone, and force him to reckon with the very essence of who he was.

The winds of change had begun to blow, and there was no turning back.

Inky Hearts pt. 1

Modern!Ellie is a tattoo artist and you just became her lovely little muse.

a/n: hellooo! okay i am actually kind of obsessed with this. I'm not sure how many parts of this i am planning on making but definitely more than one. as always feedback and comments are more than welcome!! all of the pictures i included do not belong to me and the tattoo was found on Pinterest. the two songs mentioned are C.R.E.A.M by Wu-Tang and Come A Little Closer by Cage the Elephant. enjoy lovelys!!

warning(s): mentions of cigarettes/smoking/weed, i think that's it but please let me know if i should add anything

You drum your fingers on the steering wheel anxiously waiting for the light to turn green. You had no reason at all to be anxious! This was not your first tattoo. You had too many to count off the top of your head. However it was your first time at this shop and new places have always made you anxious, always preferring routine over spontaneity. 

You had seen one of the artists at the shop on instagram and instantly became obsessed with their work. Their page is full of stunning tattoos. Her name was Ellie. Cute. She seemed to mostly do plants and flowers, sticking to a traditional style. Seeing a few videos of her tattooing herself, you couldn’t help but notice just how attractive she was. Doing some light-hearted stalking you managed to find her personal page and she had a disappointing lack of posts. Her profile picture was her standing holding a skateboard behind her head…original. She only had a few pictures, mostly with other people. Deciding against following her, figuring that might be creepy.

‘Fuck it! Her style is perfect for the exact tattoo that I’ve been wanting on my hips. It's just a major plus that she’s super hot.’ You think as you send a message to the tattoo parlors page saying you’re interested in booking an appointment. 

So just like that, a month later you’re sitting at a red light, anxiety pulsing through you. Parking your car in the lot across from the shop you gather your things, giving yourself a once over in your car window, you walk across to the shop. The bell above the door jingles as you open it. The classic smell of green soap wafting through the parlor. C.R.E.A.M is playing low in the background as you make your way to the front desk. A young girl with thick black hair is sitting on a stool at the counter typing away at a laptop. You realize you recognize her from Ellie’s instagram page.

You take a few anxious steps toward her, “Hi! I’m here for a four o’clock appointment with Ellie? Sorry I’m a little early!” 

“Hey! No worries! She’s just finishing up with someone and then she’ll come out and get you. Feel free to have a seat.” She gives you a warm smile, going back to typing away.

Placing your purse and water bottle on the coffee table in the middle of a few sofas and loveseats you flop into one, fiddling with your fingers. You take a look around the shop, admiring the welcoming vibe. Flash art is hung all over the walls, along with pictures of tattoos and piercings that customers have gotten. Art and posters are also placed around sporadically. The artist stations have curtains on either side of them with a walkway in the middle. 

A voice coming from around one of the curtains snags your attention. ‘Oh my god. She’s even hotter in person. This is gonna be a long day.’ Your face flushes as your mind shuffles around. 

She rounds the front desk, chatting with her client while accepting her payment. Her client leaves and she turns to the dark haired girl who welcomed you, she nods her head in your direction and you quickly look down realizing you’ve been staring at them. You fiddle with your fingers as a pair of beat up converse come into your view. Looking up as she asks your name.

“Yeah! That’s me!” You look up giving your best casual smile.

“Sweet. Give me one sec to clean up my station and print out your stencil and I’ll come get you.” She says as she steps back.

“Okie dokie!” 

She chuckles at your response, walking towards her station.

“Okie dokie!? Jesus fucking christ I’m such a dork. Just be cool! You know how to be cool!’ You scold yourself and take some deep breaths.

About twenty minutes pass before she’s walking back with your stencil in hand, nodding her head at you to follow her. Gathering your stuff as quickly as possible you shuffle after her. She walks to her station, pulling the curtain closed behind you guys and sits in the rolling chair, cutting the excess edge off of your stencil. You stand there, shifting on your feet, awaiting direction.

Your eyes wander and you realize her station is a great insight to her personality. She’s got a tool cart covered in stickers and a low table shelf where her rolling chair sits. She’s got several shelves with collectable action figures and pictures. You notice more of her flash art taped to the wall, a Savage Starlight poster catches your eye. 

“Alright so you want these on the front of your thighs and hips right?” She looks up at you and you nod giving a small hum.

“Perfect, so if you just wanna pull your shorts off – or you can just lower them. Whatever you’re comfortable with.” 

You blush even though you knew you’d have to take your shorts off. Purposefully wearing your cutest high cut underwear, however now you feel embarrassed at doing that. You shuffle out of your shorts and fold them over your bag. Hopping onto the chair with a small huff you lean back into the backrest. 

She stands, slipping on her black gloves. Glancing down at you and asking if you're ready, you nod your head with another hum. 

As she makes work of sanitizing your skin and running the disposable razor over your thighs and hips, you subtly admire her own ink. She has a beautiful fern with a moth overlaying it on her left arm. On her right arm she has a collection of flowers and plants from her wrist disappearing into the sleeve of her white t-shirt. She also has several patchwork pieces filling in the blank skin on her arms, neck, and some tattoos disappearing to her covered hands. Your face flushes and the thought of seeing the pieces that are not currently exposed. 

As Ellie is prepping her canvas she is trying to be as subtle as possible as she looks you over. Feeling embarrassed at her lack of professionalism she scolds herself as she ogles you. Admiring your tattoos, she feels giddy at the thought of adding to all the beautiful pieces covering you. She glances up at you as you seem to be dazed while staring at her arms. Giving a small smirk at your face flushing, she wipes your skin with the wet paper towel once more before grabbing your stencil from her table. She presses them both down with gentle hands, making sure they’re even and not smudged. 

“Okay, hop up and take a look at it in the mirror. If there’s anything, anything at all that you don’t like about the placement or size let me know.” She steps back, rolling her gloves off and reaching for clean ones.

Scooting off the chair you move over to the mirror and admire the beautiful stencil, already obsessing over the temporary blue ink. Shifting your hips and rotating your body to make sure you like it from all angles, you swivel around with a grin.

“I love it! It’s literally perfect. Oh my god it’s so perfect.” You gush.

Her face flushes at your praise and she nods before turning to her workstation to fill the ink caps and get her tattoo gun ready.

You hop back into the chair, giddy with excitement. Fingers fiddling, this time with excited energy. The buzz of the gun causes adrenaline to fizzle through you and you take deep breaths, preparing for the sweet pain. She rolls her chair to you and presses the pedal underneath the chair causing it to lower to her sitting level. 

“Alright, you ready to start?” She dips the needle of the gun into the ink, bringing her attention back to you. 

Taking a deep breath, you look into her green eyes and give your best confident nod, “Ready as I’ll ever be!”

She smiles at you, finding you absolutely adorable and places her left hand firmly on your thigh, gun in her right hand. 

Always being surprised by the pain, for some odd reason. You take a deep breath at the hot sting and try to focus on the music playing in the parlor. Come A Little Closer plays and you drum your fingers to the melody. 

– 

“Alright, outlines are done. You wanna take a break before we start color?” She asks as she sets the gun down, stretching out her arms and neck. Looking incredibly hot doing something so simple.

“Yeah! A break would be good.” You stretch out your legs before moving off the chair with great caution trying to avoid the painful feeling of creasing your skin. 

“Sweet. Lemme just cover you with saran wrap and some medical tape” She rolls over to you covering your outline gently. You slip on your shorts, zipping them up and leaving the button undone. You shuffle in your bag for your smokes, turning around with the pack in hand. 

“You- Uh- You wanna join me for a smoke?” You offer sheepishly. 

She says sure and grabs her water bottle, walking out behind you. You lean against the brick wall, pulling your lighter out of the pack and two smokes. You place one in your mouth, lighting it and lighting the other with the tip. You blush feeling Ellie’s eyes on you the whole time.

Passing it to her you try to make small talk, “It’s a horrible habit…I’m aware. I usually prefer a joint over a cig but ya know.” You say with a small laugh. 

She chuckles with you, “I’m not one to judge. Besides, you can get away with smoking.”

“What do you mean by that?” You exhale and glance up at her in confusion.

“Pretty girls can always get away with smoking. Trust me.” She says with a dramatic exhale of smoke, looking borderline edible at this point. 

‘Fuck how can someone look that hot smoking a cigarette!?’ 

You turn a bright shade of red, “I- I’ve never been told that before…” You say quietly, stubbing your cigarette out on the ashtray placed outside. 

Smirking at your shyness she stubs her and pushes herself off the wall, stubbing her cigarette on the ashtray, “C’mon pretty, let’s get back to work.” She says, holding the door open for you. Your body brushes against hers as you walk through the door. Face aflame.  

You both settle back in her workspace and she starts coloring your piece.

–

Pulling off her gloves and leaning back to stretch, “And you’re done. Let me know what you think.”

You scoot off the chair, skin much more tender, you wince when you crease it, dreading the drive home. You step over to the mirror ogling at the artwork that decorates your skin.

“It’s-” You spin around bouncing on your toes, “It’s amazing! You’re fucking amazing! Oh my fucking god!” You practically scream, feeling pure elation. 

Her freckles become prominent as her face flushes a concerning shade of red. Your praise clearly has an effect on her. She rubs the back of her neck sheepishly, feeling her blush all over her body. 

Clearing her throat, “I- I’m glad you like it. You took it like a champ. That’s a big ass piece, I don’t know if I could've done only one session.” She rambles, wanting to get the attention off of her. 

She stands, hands stuffing into her pockets, “Anyway! Let’s get that covered.” 

She covers both your hips in saniderm and you pull your shorts on, wincing as the fabric rubs against your skin. 

“Hey! Uh- Do you have a personal instagram? I found the shop but um- was hoping to follow your personal one!” You ramble nervously, shuffling with your phone.

Letting out a small laugh she takes your phone from you, opening instagram and typing her handle. She takes her phone out of her back pocket, following you back. You try to hide your smile and grab the rest of your things.

‘Just be cool. Play it cool and casual.’

Making your way to the front desk she leans on it, “So for today it’ll be an even $200.”

“What? What- No, that’s- that’s way too cheap. Here.” You hand her four hundred, knowing that she’s undercharging you. This tattoo is incredible and huge. You also hand her a single hundred for the tip. Having had enough tattoos that you know you always pay in cash and always be prepared to tip generously. 

She shuffles through the cash, shaking her head and trying to hand you back two of the five hundred that you handed her. You raise your hands and shake your head, “No! Ellie! C’mon, don’t undercharge me!” Looking her in the eyes to insist. 

“C’mon pretty girl. Reason with me. Take two back. I won’t accept five.” She says as she stands taller, hands leaning on the counter, tilting her head as she speaks to you.

‘Let me just…casually get on my knees for you. You look so fucking hot right now. Oh my fucking god.’

You let out a dramatic sigh and say quietly, “Fine! Fine…but you’re keeping three!” You concede, not happy at all with her undercharging you.

She smirks, pushing herself off the counter folding the cash and pocketing it, “Good girl. Was that so hard?” She mocks you.

Your body is burning with embarrassment and lust at this point and you are grateful the dark haired girl from before is gone. Feeling mortified at the thought of anyone witnessing her flirtatious teasing. 

Tucking your hair behind your ear, you take a step back gripping your bag.

Clearing your throat you manage to get out, “Well- I Will be seeing you. Thank you, Ellie. This piece is- it’s incredible. I’m obsessed with it!” You gush out like a fangirl.

“Thank you…that means a lot.” She says and stuffs her hands in her pockets, an obvious tell of when she’s nervous. 

–

Parking your car in the parking lot behind your apartment building you pull your phone out from your back pocket, feeling it buzz with a notification. 

ellie_wills03 : hey pretty girl

ellie_wills03 : you get home safe?

You bite your bottom lip as you smile. Thumbs hovering over your keyboard.

love.bug.222 : Hi! Yes, I just got home 🩷

 It’s been a few years since this man has been on a date. He didn’t feel he had time to do anything other than work and spend time with his sons. His sons decided their father needed to meet someone and truly build a connection. They all decided to put his photo on a few websites, specific websites…. dating websites, describing their father's hobbies, a picture of their father, and even describing him. Of course, when he found out he wasn’t really happy about it but pondered more and some of his sons were talking to him, maybe he should. He pondered on the idea before he felt he was ready.  After countless profiles, he looked through and there was one that caught his eye.  After the first hello in your inbox from the rather large man you both began to chat, then finally decided to meet on a little coffee date.

You were excited yet nervous. It has also been a while since you went on a date. Fixing your hair in your bathroom mirror. You were ready to go grabbing your keys and heading to the coffee shop you both planned to meet at. Taking a few deep breaths in your car, you gathered as much courage as you could, and began to walk into the coffee shop. The smell of freshly ground coffee, with a hint of pumpkin spice, filled your nostrils. Looking around you spotted them mad as they were two coffee cups. You began to approach the table “Hello Edward.” walking up to the man and giving him a smile.

He stood up from his chair and there was a size difference “Hello ______, nice to finally meet you.” pulling out your seats for you and you thanked him. “I remember you telling me you enjoy the pumpkin spice latte during this time of season. I ordered that for you.” he took a seat in his chair.

“Thank you,” a dust of pink hitting your cheeks, just the small details you mention to Edward made you really happy. “Sorry it has been a while since I’ve been on a date.” you're nervously chuckled.

Hearing a low chuckle “Same.”  Edward looked at you and saw the same smile that was on your profile. “You must get this a lot but you are very beautiful.” Covering your face with your hands knowing that your face would be completely red as a tomato. The cute reaction you were doing caused the man to laugh “Guararara didn’t know compliments would make you turn that red. I will have to keep that in mind when we go out again.”

After composing yourself you both began to talk getting to know each other more. He told you  about parts of his life and just how big his heart really was especially, when it came to talking about his sons.  It felt like you were searching for so long and yet the person you had been looking for was right here in front of you. Edward enjoyed that you really paid attention to the conversation and when making small jokes you would laugh. “You know it's been a while since someone made me feel so comfortable like you did, Edward.”  your hand reached over the placing it on top of his. “Thank you.” softly smiling at the man.

“I could say the same thing. Listen instead of coffee, maybe we can try dinner tomorrow?”  he asked.  Your heart began to race to know you were going on a second date with the charming man. You nodded, giving him a smile.

Contemporary Living Room Furniture: Designing a Chic and Cozy Space

The living room is often considered the central gathering space in a home, where style meets comfort. When designing a contemporary living room, furniture plays a key role in setting the tone, providing both aesthetics and functionality. Modern living room furniture often combines sleek lines, neutral tones, and clever storage solutions to create an elegant, cozy, and efficient space. Here’s how to choose the right pieces to design a living room that is both stylish and inviting.

1. Comfortable Seating Options

The heart of any living room is its seating. Sofas, sectionals, and armchairs are fundamental in creating a cozy atmosphere where family and friends can relax. When selecting seating for a contemporary living room, the focus is on clean lines, muted colors, and comfort.

A sleek, low-profile sofa in neutral tones like gray, beige, or white can serve as the centerpiece of the room. For smaller spaces, opt for a loveseat or a compact sectional that maximizes seating without overwhelming the area. Sectionals are a great choice for larger rooms, offering versatility in layout and plenty of seating for guests. Adding soft throws and accent pillows in contrasting colors or textures can provide an extra layer of comfort while maintaining a chic look.

In addition to sofas, consider including a couple of accent chairs to complete the seating arrangement. Armchairs with simple, minimalist designs or even modern recliners can balance out the room’s decor while offering additional seating. Choose chairs in fabrics like leather, velvet, or high-performance upholstery for a sophisticated touch that is also durable and easy to maintain.

2. Stylish and Functional Accent Pieces

In any contemporary living room, accent pieces like coffee tables, side tables, and shelving units serve both decorative and practical purposes. When selecting these items, look for sleek designs with multifunctionality. A coffee table with storage drawers or a lift-top feature, for example, can be an excellent addition to a room where space is limited.

Acrylic or glass coffee tables are popular in contemporary living rooms, as they offer a modern, airy feel without taking up too much visual space. Pair this with a sleek side table featuring metal accents or wood finishes for a mixed-material look that adds texture and depth to the room.

Shelving is another key component. Wall-mounted floating shelves or minimalist bookcases can store books, display decor, and organize essentials without cluttering the space. Opt for open shelving if you want a light, modern feel, or use closed storage solutions like cabinets or drawers to hide items for a cleaner look.

3. Entertainment and Storage Solutions

In today’s homes, entertainment is a big part of the living room’s function. A modern TV stand or media console with sleek lines and smart storage can help organize electronics while keeping the space looking uncluttered. Choose a low-profile console that blends in with the room’s design, with enough room for your television, speakers, and any other entertainment essentials.

Consider furniture that offers concealed storage to keep wires and devices out of sight. For example, consoles with built-in cable management systems or hidden compartments help to maintain a neat and stylish appearance. You can also select a console with open shelving to display decorative items, like plants, vases, or personal mementos.

4. Lighting and Accessories

Lighting is essential to enhancing the atmosphere of a contemporary living room. Floor lamps, pendant lights, and recessed lighting can all be used to create a cozy, well-lit space. When choosing lighting fixtures, focus on modern designs with metallic or minimalist finishes to complement the room’s overall aesthetic.

Accent lighting, like table lamps or wall sconces, can highlight key areas of the room, such as artwork or seating areas. In addition to lighting, area rugs are a must-have for adding warmth and texture to the space. Opt for a neutral-colored rug with subtle patterns or bold geometric designs, depending on the look you want to achieve.

Finally, personalize the space with accessories that reflect your style. Throw blankets, artwork, and decorative objects can add personality and charm, while maintaining the contemporary feel.

Conclusion

Designing a contemporary living room is all about combining style and comfort. By selecting modern furniture with clean lines, neutral colors, and functional features, you can create a space that is both chic and inviting. Whether you’re lounging with family or entertaining guests, the right furniture choices will ensure your living room is a beautiful and comfortable place to spend time.

Simplicity & Style: Explore Melbourne's Scandinavian Furniture Range

Scandinavian design is celebrated for its simplicity, functionality, and timeless appeal. Emerging from the Nordic countries in the early 20th century, this design philosophy has evolved into a global trend that continues to influence modern interiors. Known for its minimalistic approach and natural materials, Scandinavian furniture embodies a perfect balance between form and function, making it a popular choice for those who seek a serene and inviting atmosphere in their living spaces.

 The Essence of Scandinavian Design

 At the heart of Scandinavian design is a commitment to simplicity and practicality. This design style strips away unnecessary ornamentation, focusing on clean lines, natural light, and a neutral color palette. The goal is to create spaces that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing, where every piece of furniture serves a purpose. Scandinavian interiors often feature open floor plans, which allow for easy movement and a sense of spaciousness.

 Handmade Furniture: Craftsmanship Meets Minimalism

 One of the hallmarks of Scandinavian design is the emphasis on craftsmanship. Handmade furniture plays a significant role in this design philosophy, with artisans paying meticulous attention to detail and quality. Each piece of furniture is crafted with care, ensuring that it not only looks beautiful but also stands the test of time. 

Handmade furniture often incorporates traditional woodworking techniques, passed down through generations, combined with contemporary design elements. This blend of old and new results in pieces that are both timeless and relevant to modern living. The simplicity of Scandinavian furniture allows the craftsmanship to shine, highlighting the natural beauty of the materials and the skill of the artisan. 

Functional Beauty in Every Room

 Scandinavian furniture is versatile and adaptable, making it suitable for any room in the home. Whether it’s the living room, bedroom, dining area, or home office, this design style offers solutions that are both practical and stylish.

 In the living room, Scandinavian sofas and chairs are often characterized by their sleek silhouettes and neutral upholstery. These pieces provide comfort without overwhelming the space, allowing for a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. Coffee tables and side tables in light wood finishes complement the seating arrangements, offering both functionality and visual harmony.

In the bedroom, Scandinavian beds and storage solutions prioritize simplicity and organization. Beds are typically low-profile, with clean lines and minimal detailing. Storage pieces, such as wardrobes and dressers, are designed to maximize space while maintaining a clutter-free environment. The use of natural materials and soft, muted colors creates a calming and restful ambiance, perfect for a good night’s sleep. 

The dining area benefits from Scandinavian design’s focus on social interaction and communal living. Dining tables are often crafted from solid wood, with a minimalist design that encourages gathering and conversation. Paired with ergonomic chairs, these tables create a welcoming space for meals with family and friends.

 Bringing Scandinavian Style to the Home Office 

With the increasing importance of remote work, the home office has become a key area of focus in interior design. Scandinavian furniture offers a solution that is both functional and inspiring, making it an ideal choice for creating a productive work environment.

 Desks in Scandinavian design are typically minimalist, with clean lines and ample workspace. They often include built-in storage solutions to keep the area organized and free of clutter. The use of natural materials, such as wood and metal, adds warmth to the space, while the simplicity of the design promotes focus and concentration. 

Chairs are equally important in the home office, and Scandinavian design offers a range of ergonomic options that prioritize comfort without sacrificing style. These chairs are designed to support good posture and reduce strain during long hours of work. With their sleek design and neutral colors, they seamlessly blend into the overall aesthetic of the home office.

Lighting: A Key Element in Scandinavian Interiors 

Lighting is a crucial component of Scandinavian design, as it enhances the overall ambiance of the space. In the Nordic countries, where daylight is limited during the winter months, lighting plays a significant role in creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. 

Scandinavian lighting fixtures are often simple and functional, with a focus on natural light sources. Floor lamps, pendant lights, and wall sconces are commonly used to create layers of light, providing both general illumination and task lighting. The design of these fixtures is typically understated, allowing them to complement the furniture without drawing too much attention. In addition to artificial lighting, Scandinavian design emphasizes the importance of maximizing natural light. Large windows, often left uncovered or with minimal window treatments, allow sunlight to flood the space. This not only brightens the room but also connects the interior with the natural world outside.

 Adding Personal Touches with Scandinavian Accessories 

While Scandinavian design is known for its simplicity, it also allows for personal expression through carefully chosen accessories. These elements add warmth and character to the space, making it feel more like home. 

Textiles play a significant role in adding texture and comfort to Scandinavian interiors. Throws, cushions, and rugs made from natural fibers, such as wool and linen, introduce softness and warmth. These textiles are often in neutral tones, but pops of color can be added through patterned cushions or a vibrant rug.

 The Timeless Appeal of Scandinavian Design

 Scandinavian furniture and design have a timeless appeal that transcends trends. Its emphasis on simplicity, functionality, and natural materials creates spaces that are both beautiful and practical. Whether furnishing a new home or updating an existing space, Scandinavian furniture offers a versatile and enduring solution. 

By embracing the principles of Scandinavian design, individuals can create interiors that are not only stylish but also conducive to a balanced and harmonious lifestyle.

 In a world where trends come and go, the enduring qualities of Scandinavian design make it a wise choice for those seeking a timeless and versatile aesthetic. Whether it’s the living room, bedroom, dining area, or home office, Scandinavian furniture offers the perfect blend of simplicity and style for any space.

Home Interior Design for Skyline Spaces

Creating a captivating home interior for skyline spaces requires a blend of modern aesthetics and practical functionality. These elevated living environments, often found in urban high-rises and penthouses, offer unique opportunities and challenges for interior design. The goal is to complement the expansive views while maximizing space and comfort.

Maximizing Views

The primary advantage of skyline spaces is the panoramic view. Therefore, the interior design should focus on enhancing these vistas. Opt for large, unobstructed windows and minimal window treatments to let in natural light and allow the view to be the focal point. Furniture should be arranged to ensure clear sightlines towards the windows. Low-profile pieces, such as streamlined sofas and coffee tables, help maintain an open and airy feel.

Choosing a Color Palette

A neutral color palette works best in skyline spaces. Shades of white, beige, and grey create a serene backdrop that highlights the view without competing with it. To add warmth and character, incorporate natural materials like wood and stone. Accents in bolder colors can be introduced through accessories such as cushions, rugs, and artwork, providing visual interest without overwhelming the space.

Functional Furniture

In skyline spaces, furniture needs to be both stylish and functional. Multi-purpose pieces are ideal, especially in smaller apartments where space is at a premium. Consider sofas with built-in storage, fold-out desks, and extendable dining tables. Modular furniture can be rearranged easily to adapt to different needs, from entertaining guests to enjoying a quiet night in.

Lighting Solutions

Proper lighting enhances the ambiance and functionality of a skyline space. Layered lighting, combining ambient, task, and accent lighting, helps create a versatile environment. Recessed lighting, pendant lights, and floor lamps can be strategically placed to illuminate different areas without detracting from the view. Dimmable options allow for mood adjustments, making the space adaptable to various times of day and activities.

Conclusion

Designing the interior of skyline spaces involves balancing aesthetics with practicality. By focusing on maximizing views, choosing a harmonious color palette, selecting functional furniture, and implementing effective lighting solutions, you can create a sophisticated and inviting home. The result is a living space that not only embraces the grandeur of its elevated position but also offers comfort and style in everyday living.

Why Every Modern Home Needs a Barcelona Chair

The Barcelona chair is a timeless and elegant piece of furniture that can transform any space. With its simple yet sophisticated design, this chair is incredibly versatile and can be styled in many different ways to suit a variety of tastes and spaces. Whether you’re looking to create a cosy reading nook or a stylish and functional living room, the Barcelona chair is the perfect addition to your home. In this ultimate guide, we will explore the different ways you can decorate and style your space using the iconic Barcelona chair as the centrepiece.

A Brief History of the Barcelona Chair

Before we dive into the various styling options, let’s take a moment to appreciate the history and design of this iconic chair. The Barcelona chair was designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, a renowned German-American architect, in 1929. It was originally created for the German Pavilion at the International Exposition in Barcelona, Spain, hence its name. The chair’s clean lines and minimal aesthetic have made it a symbol of modern design and it has since become a staple in homes and offices around the world.

Creating a Stylish Sanctuary

One of the most popular ways to style the Barcelona chair is by creating a cosy reading nook. The chair’s low-slung profile and comfortable cushions make it the perfect spot to curl up with a good book. Place the chair in a corner of your living room or bedroom and add a simple floor or reading lamp to create a stylish and inviting space. You can also accessorise with a small side table to hold your book and a cup of tea.

Porch Perfection

Don’t forget about your porch when it comes to decorating! A well-designed porch can be the highlight of your home, offering a perfect spot to unwind and entertain guests. Adding a Barcelona chair to your porch can create an inviting and eye-catching space. Style it with some comfortable cushions and perhaps a small table to hold a drink or a book. This will instantly add a touch of elegance and charm to your porch, making it a welcoming entrance to your home.

Living Room Versatility

The Barcelona chair truly shines in the living room, offering endless decor possibilities. One idea is to pair the chair with a Noguchi table or a console table to create a stylish coffee corner. You can also experiment with different combinations, such as pairing the chair with an ottoman to create a relaxing reading corner. The simplicity of the Barcelona chair allows it to seamlessly blend with other furniture pieces, making it a versatile addition to any living room.

Balcony Bliss

Don’t underestimate the potential of your balcony! This often-overlooked space can be transformed into a serene escape with the addition of a Barcelona chair. Pair it with an accent table to create an outdoor seating area where you can enjoy your morning coffee or unwind after a long day. The sleek and minimal design of the Barcelona chair makes it ideal for smaller spaces like balconies, adding character and charm without overwhelming the area.

Dining Room Elegance

While the Barcelona chair is commonly used in living rooms and porches, it can also make a statement in your dining room. Consider pairing the chair with a sleek and modern dining table to create a unique and elegant dining space. The Barcelona chair’s minimal design will not only provide comfortable seating but will also create a sense of openness and sophistication in your dining area.

Home Office Haven

Incorporate the Barcelona chair into your home office to create a stylish and inspiring workspace. The chair’s sleek and simple design can help foster a sense of calm and focus, making it the perfect addition to your home office. Pair it with a minimalist desk and some stylish shelving to create a productive and aesthetically pleasing environment.

Bedroom Relaxation

The Barca chair can also be used to create a relaxing and elegant bedroom retreat. Place one in a corner of your bedroom with a small side table and a cozy lamp to create a comfortable reading spot. Alternatively, you can pair it with a vanity table to create a stylish and functional getting-ready area. The possibilities are endless when it comes to incorporating the Barcelona chair into your bedroom decor.

Mixing and Matching

Don’t be afraid to mix and match your Barcelona chairs with other furniture styles. The chair’s versatility allows it to blend seamlessly with a variety of design aesthetics. For a more eclectic look, pair the Barcelona chair with a vintage rug and some rustic decor. Or, for a more modern approach, combine it with sleek, contemporary pieces for a cohesive and stylish space.

Color and Material Options

While the Barcelona chair is most commonly known for its sleek stainless-steel frame and white leather upholstery, it comes in a variety of colours and materials. You can choose from a range of leather or fabric options, including black, brown, and even vibrant colours like red or blue. Consider the colour scheme and style of your space when selecting the perfect Barcelona chair to ensure it complements your existing decor.

Final Thoughts

The Barcelona chair is a true design icon that can elevate any space. Its versatility knows no bounds, as it can be styled in countless ways to suit different tastes and spaces.

The Stealthy Puff: Exploring the World of Discreet Vapes

In the shadowy corners of every office break room and the back seats of matinee theaters, a new trend is slowly rising, like vapor from a hot cup of tea. Welcome to the world of discreet vapes, where the art of invisible inhaling is perfected, and you can maintain your cool without a cloud of evidence. This isn't just about sneaking a vape at Grandma's 90th birthday bash—though that's definitely on the table—it's about the stylish, stealthy, and somewhat secretive world of vaping without drawing the stares of every passerby. So buckle up, or rather, puff up, as we dive deep into the discreet delights of vaping. What Are Discreet Vapes Anyway? Discreet vapes are the ninjas of the vaping world, slipping unnoticed into environments where traditional vaping might raise eyebrows or, heaven forbid, alarms. Picture yourself in a cozy café, enjoying the aroma of freshly ground coffee beans—you wouldn't want to ruin that with thick plumes of vapor. These low-profile devices ensure that your vaping habits don't overshadow your social grace or personal style. With designs clever enough to pass as mundane office supplies, you can take a discreet puff without anyone being the wiser, keeping the atmosphere as pure and unobtrusive as your intentions. Moreover, the advancement in vape technology has not only focused on reducing size but also enhancing functionality. These discreet models come equipped with features like adjustable settings to control vapor output and heat, allowing a more tailored vaping experience that fits different settings and preferences. Whether you're aiming for a slight nicotine hit or a more substantial one without the spectacle, these vapes cater to your needs discreetly. This is ideal for those moments when discretion is not just preferred but paramount, offering a peace of mind that your vaping is as private as you want it to be. Why Choose a Discreet Vape? Discreet vapes are the perfect companion for the modern smoker who values privacy and etiquette. Imagine being able to enjoy a soothing puff without disrupting the ambiance of a quiet, classy event. These devices are designed to blend seamlessly into your lifestyle, ensuring that you maintain decorum while satisfying your needs. They are especially handy in settings where traditional vaping might draw unnecessary attention or even discomfort among others. With a discreet vape, you can quietly manage your nicotine intake without stepping out into the cold or missing an important moment—like finally figuring out which floral-named cousin is exchanging vows. The convenience factor of discreet vapes also extends to their portability and ease of use. These sleek devices are no bigger than a pen, making them an effortless fit in any small space—from a tuxedo pocket to a tiny clutch at the wedding. Their simple, buttonless design offers hassle-free operation; a few stealthy clicks and you're good to go. Whether you're navigating airport security or packing light for a weekend getaway, these vapes are the quintessential travel accessory, allowing you to vape without the vape being seen. This kind of accessibility not only makes them an essential tool for discreet vaping but also transforms them into a subtle part of your everyday carry. The Art of Stealth Vaping Stealth vaping is as much about finesse as it is about technology. It’s a delicate dance of inhaling just enough to satisfy but not so much that you give yourself away with a conspicuous vapor trail. To truly master this craft, start with selecting a device that's engineered for minimal vapor production—these typically operate at lower wattages or have customizable settings to reduce the amount of vapor emitted. This approach minimizes your visibility and lets you blend into any social scenery without leaving a cloud of suspicion. As you refine your stealth vaping techniques, consider the environment and how you can further minimize your impact. Use high-quality e-liquids that are less fragrant, or opt for those specifically designed to reduce odor. Additionally, pay attention to airflow and how you handle your device. Quick, discreet hits with controlled breathing—inhaling and letting the vapor dissipate internally before exhaling—are key to the 'ghost hit' technique. It’s about making your vaping virtually invisible and odorless, ensuring you remain incognito. Perfecting these strategies will not only keep your vaping discreet but also enhance your ability to enjoy it freely, even in more restrictive settings. Choosing Your Stealth Vape When selecting the ultimate discreet vape, the criteria extend beyond mere aesthetics and venture into the realm of functionality and stealth. The size of the device is paramount; compact models are preferable as they not only conceal easily but also blend with everyday items like pens or small electronic gadgets. A smaller vape ensures that your vaping is as unnoticeable as possible, perfect for those missions that require a high level of discretion. Adjustability in vapor output is another critical feature. Having the ability to control how much vapor your device emits allows for versatility in various social settings. Some moments might call for a visible puff, while others demand invisibility. Devices with variable power settings are ideal because they give you the control needed to adjust based on your immediate needs. Additionally, consider the battery life of the device. Longer battery life ensures that your vape will not fail you when you need it most, avoiding potentially awkward or inconvenient moments. The design should also not be overlooked; a vape that looks too futuristic or out of place might draw more attention rather than deflect it. Opt for something that has a classic, understated elegance—something that Q might indeed equip Bond with, which looks innocuous but packs a punch. With these features in mind, you can choose a discreet vape that fits your lifestyle and meets your stealth needs, ensuring that each inhale is as inconspicuous as it is satisfying.

A discreet vape is a small, portable electronic device designed to mimic everyday objects such as pens or USB sticks. Its main features include silent operation, low vapor output, and scent-reducing technology, which help minimize its presence. These devices are perfect for users who prefer to vape without drawing attention in non-smoking areas or in public settings. 2. Why should I choose a discreet vape over a regular vape? Discreet vapes are ideal for users who need to maintain a low profile, whether due to personal preference, social etiquette, or situational demands such as attending formal events or traveling. These vapes are smaller, easier to conceal, and typically produce less vapor and scent, thus allowing users to enjoy their nicotine without the usual fanfare and visibility associated with traditional vaping devices. 3. How do I use a discreet vape without being noticed? To use a discreet vape without attracting attention, opt for devices with low vapor output and practice the "ghost hit" technique—take a puff, hold it in to absorb the vapor, and then exhale minimally or not at all. Choose a device with minimal noise and one that resembles everyday items. Also, being aware of your surroundings and vaping discreetly in an appropriate setting is crucial to remain unnoticed. 4. What should I look for when choosing a discreet vape? When selecting a discreet vape, consider the size (the smaller, the better for concealment), the ability to control vapor output, battery life, and design. Look for a device that offers adjustable settings for managing vapor production and one that has a sufficient battery lifespan for reliable use. The design should be simple and mimic common items to avoid drawing attention. 5. Can I travel with a discreet vape? Yes, discreet vapes are particularly suited for travel due to their compact size and resemblance to everyday objects. However, always check the local laws and regulations regarding vaping for the specific destination. Ensure the device is fully charged and carry it in a manner that complies with airport security and airline guidelines, usually packed in your carry-on luggage for easy access during security checks.
