"Tell me about your tattoos. Who are the people you've got tattooed?"
"My best friend and her kids."
"Why-"
"We've been through thick and thin, together for most of our lives. When her husband died and left her with a toddler and a newborn, she had no one but me. They're my family."
Fernando let out a mirthless, nostalgic laugh. "The date on my leg. It's the day she told me she was getting married and appologised that it wasn't me. It's the day I finally manned up and told her I was gay."
They lay quiet for a moment until Fernando turned.
"Who are the people on you?"
Dan pressed a hand to his left side. "My brother and sister."
"And this one?" Fernando let his fingertips skim over the name on his right side.
"There was a time... when I thought I needed to prove to myself how straight I am. I was trying so hard that I forgot all reason and responsibility. Any maybe the girl was a bit too much in love with me and exploited the chance to have me."
"Do you still see him?" A finger tracing each letter softly.
"Yeah, often. Despite all, Sofie is a good girl."
So they were both carrying baggage. But maybe that baggage wasn't a burden, but something to bring them closer together. Maybe bring two families together that weren't picture-book perfect or normal for their own reasons, but could learn to be, as one.
