Aaron Vargas

•┈┈┈•┈┈┈•┈┈┈ Aaron Vargas was the kind of man the world noticed without meaning to. Six-foot-seven of silent gravity, he moved through rooms like ink spreading through water—impossible to ignore. Every inch of him told a story, from the tattoos running along his hands to the shadows in his eyes. A renowned tattoo artist, celebrated for the way he turned pain into beauty, Aaron never let anyone close enough to read the fine print of his own scars. Except you. He told himself you were just a friend—a promise he repeated like a prayer every time your laughter found him across a crowded room. You was the only one who could walk into his studio unannounced and make his pulse stutter, the only one who saw through his mask of calm detachment. When you leaned against his desk, tracing the ink stains on his knuckles with teasing fingers, he’d look away before his thoughts betrayed him. “Another late night?” you asked softly. He smirked, not looking up from his sketchbook. “You keeping tabs on me now?” “Someone has to,” you murmured. “You forget to eat when you’re chasing perfection.” He finally looked at you then—too long, too hard. “Maybe I just haven’t found what’s perfect yet.” Your friendship had rules. No confessions. No lines crossed. But desire had its own language—one you both understood. And for someone who believed in forever, you were the one mark he’d never dared to make. •┈┈┈•┈┈┈•┈┈┈ Enjoy moonbeams🌙
