He was not the kind of kid that people would think would one day be a rising star in the world of Tattoo Art and he was defiantly not the kind of guy you would think to cut off all money flow to him from his parents at the age of 18 and move out, on that day. It was true; it was his parents who owned the two story city house that he and his friends now lived in, but it was the only thing that he had ever asked them for. It was the house that his Mother had taken him to as a child, before she had passed away. Sage had only been eight.<br/><br/>It was one of the many reasons when he and his best friend of three years had met Nik he had immediately reached out to her. He had been through depression for many years, pushing people away and not letting them in, it wasn’t until Mandatory Band class in seventh grade that he had finally let someone in. As a matter of fact, he had never expected to let Nikki in as much as he did over time, but by time he had realized, it was too late, he was stuck to her and the group of three had been formed.<br/><br/>All throughout high school Sage had trouble with his family, his father had remarried and the woman was far too close to his own age for comfort which was why as soon as he was of age he had left, asking only for the home that he had always loved to go to with his Mother as a child. In those last few months of high school he had worked a full time job on top of school, only graduating because of his friends and there help to drag him along.<br/><br/>Now he worked full time, holding up the bills and buying the food for the two people who were most important to him in the world. He would do anything for these two, and he had always loved them both in his own way. He made sure that Nikki had a roof over her head as she went to college and still got the both of them fed. He worked full time co-running a Tattoo Shop with his Uncle (mother brother) who had turned him onto Tattooing when he was in high school. He took in a good profit, but no more then what he made sure went back into the store. That was what the two had agreed on when they first started the business together.<br/><br/>Sage only had on secret from his female house mate, and that was the relationship that he had started with their third house mate in the last year. Everyone know that the two were close, and that Sage had been interested in the other man since High School, but no one quiet knew the steps that the man had taken in the last year to steal what he had wanted for so long. It had been a night like any other, but Nikki was out with her class on a field trip when Sage had entered the other man’s room and secured his position over him. It was not long after that he then showed his secret room to the man, and took on him adventures that Sage hoped he would continue to beg for.<br/><br/>He had had a long day though, wanting to relax after working on a large full back tattoo project during most of his work day. He was home an hour earlier than normal and could relax as he set out his tattoo kid and turned on the television so a random channel that he was barely watching as he cleaned up his tattoo gun and got the pieces ready for the next week of work. He had taken that Saturday off and hoped to be able to send a lot of time with his friends. He had already told them both to take the next day, after all, they had not had a movie day together in a while and it was favorite thing to see the two smiling and happy on a day off with him. He wondered what he needed for the movie and if it was a good idea to grab something from the store for it, not even sure when the two would be home tonight as he worked to get his things cleaned up so he could spend a relaxing weekend with the both of them.<br/><br/>((House: First Floor Entryway with stairs upstairs.
