Summary: Three has a little fun with One's latest creation.
(Anyone else know about those little finger traps?? They usually get handed out as part of the party favors at kids' parties?--Or atleast they used to š--They are the hardest things to get your fingers back out of once they're fully in! ā¤ļø Hope you guys enjoy! :) ā¤ļø)
"Almost . . . Almost---nononon!"
Peter 3 set his phone down and followed the sounds. The voice sounded like it belonged to Peter 1, but the middle Peter couldn't place what the thuds were that followed. It might just be the overprotective genes in him but he decided to go and investigate.
Another thud had him quickening his pace until he finally found himself standing outside of Two's guest room.
"Come on . . . Come on . . . Wha-Oh come on!"
Three knocked on the door. "One? You okay?"
All the noises stopped. "Um, yeah! E-everything's good!"
"Then what's with all of the thudding?"
"Thudding! Nothing's thudding! Who said anything was thudding!"
Three grabbed the door handle. "I'm coming in."
Peter 3 found One sitting stiffly on the bed with his hands behind his back. ". . . One."
"H-hey Three! What-what's happening?"
The middle Peter stepped further into the room. His eyes scanned the area looking for anything out of the ordinary. "What were you doing in here?"
"Just . . . Shooting practice?"
Three noted a few stray webs but they weren't on the walls or ceiling. "On your jeans?"
Peter 3 took a few steps closer. "Then what's--?"
The conversation paused when the taller Peter's foot stepped on something. He bent down to pick up a small container that looked like pepper spray. "Web dissolvant?"
However, he didn't get far. Three used his free hand to pull him back by his shirt sleeve. "Where are you going?"
The youngest Peter blushed. "I-I wasn't---!"
"Why are your hands still behind your back?"
The youngest sighed. "I can't."
"I promise. Whatever it is, I won't be mad."
"Th-there's nothing in my hands."
Out of all of the things Three expected to hear come out his younger brother's mouth, that sentence would have never crossed his mind. "What?"
Peter One looked down at the carpet. "Y-you know those little finger traps?"
"W-well, they always break when you have spider strength. So . . . I thought, 'Hey! I'm smart! Why don't I make one out of my webs? It'll stand up to spider strength!'"
"So I-I did and . . . well . . ."
Three's eyes widened. "Are your fingers stuck in your own webbing?"
"In hindsight . . . Putting it on behind my back was not smart."
It took everything in Peter 3 to not start dying of laughter! He huffed and massaged both sides of his jaw to keep it hidden. He wasn't mad, just amused. Three had been a teen once. He knew all about how they got themselves into sticky situations out of pure curiosity.
So after a moment to compse himself, the middle Peter gently turned One around. Sure enough, both of the youngest's pointer fingers were securely fastened by a mess of webbing that did indeed look like a makeshift finger trap.
"Hey!" Peter One turned to kick and scowl at his older brother. "Don't laugh!"
"Ihim sohorryhy! I'm sorryhy!" Three ruffled his hair. "Ihim nohot trying to behe mehean! Ihim just relihieved wehe're not havihing aha totally different cohonversahation."
One's eyebrows furrowed together then shot up to his hairline a split second later. "Oh please no! Aunt May's was enough!"
Three's laughter redoubled. Yeah, Uncle Ben had had the same one with him and it was pretty traumatizing.
One was quiet for a bit, then joined Three in laughing. Soon, both of them were doubled over at the hilariousness of the situation.
Once his laughter was finally calmed, Three righted himself. "Ahalrihight, lehet's get thihis startehed."
Three studied the work on the youngest's fingers. "Can you really not get out of this?"
"Nope." One wiggled his fingers as if to prove his point. "I usually cahant."
"Yeheah. Ive had similar situahations woth my weheb shooters." Peter 1's blush darkened. "Tony always had fuhun wihith that."
A slow smirk spread across Three's face. All of the questions he had about this situation clicked into place.
And it would be such a shame if he didn't give One what he was looking for.
To keep down suspicions, Three shook the can of dissolvant. "Soho what would hehe doho?"
The hairs on One's arms stood up. "Um . . . Well, he would . . . You know!"
The dissolvant slipped quietly into Three's jeans pocket. "I don't think I do. Could you elaborate?"
One groaned. "But you already knohow! Ihi know you doho!"
"Mh-hm. Would it have something to do wiiiiith . . . This?"
A moment later, Three wrapped his arms around the youngest before falling backwards on to the bed.
"Wait! What are you doing!"
Three rolled to the side with his arms still around his baby brother. "Oho, you're ahasking fohor it."
Nervous giggles spilled out of the youngest once he recognized the tone. "Dohont yohou dahare!"
"What's wrohong Uno?" Three's fingers spidered across Peter One's tummy. "Ticklish?"
"Yohou got yourself ihin this situation Uno."
The youngest Peter squirmed in the cuddle. He may be making a vocal fuss, but he sure wasn't trying that hard to get away.
Three squeezed his side. "Hush child."
"Now tell me, why were you trying to make a finger trap that wouldn't break under your strength hm?"
Three crept his wiggling fingers closer and closer to his baby brother's ribs. "Why Peteeeey?"
A snort slipped out of the youngest as Three's fingers paused just under his ribs, but he made no other reply.
"Also, why did you make sure to mention that fact about Tony you getting stuck in your webs?" The middle Peter jumped his fingers up to spider along One's neck. "You didn't have to mention that information. Just like you didn't have to sit on the bed when I got here or run out of the room or even secure the trap behind your back."
Peter 1 trutled into his shoulders as his blush grew even deeper.
"So let me ask you again lil Pete--"
"Why did you make a Spiderman worthy finger trap?"
"Ihi think there was a reason." Three immediately jumped back to tickle One's tummy again. "A tickle reasohon!"
By now, One's face was entirely red as he kicked out his legs and squirmed onto his back instead of his side.
However, no retort ever left his mouth.
"Oh?" Three's fingers immediately spidered to his other side. "Is this why you made it?"
"Awww, that's so cuuuute! You made a tickle trap for yourself!"
"No wahay!" The middle Peter jumped his fingers up to tickle under his baby brother's chin. "Ihim never letting you live this dohown!"
"And I'm making sure Two hehears about yohour adorable idehea."
By now, Three's fingers were tickling behind the youngest's ears. "Cutie!"
One's face managed to get a shade of red darker and his giggles got even higher pitched. He pulled his knees up to his chest, his feet kicking up and down adorably.
"Ihi don't mind ihif yohou ask for tickles Petey." Peter 3 wormed his fingers into One's ribs. "Buhut it's adorable toho sehee the ways you come up wihith to ahask for them."
The loudest squeal yet erupted out of One's mouth. He slammed his legs back down into the bed.
"Wohow. Big squeal for such aha little guhuy."
"Absolutely itty-bitty tiny little Spider dude."
"SHUSH YOHOU STUPIHID HEHEAD!"
Peter 3's fingers froze. "Stupid head?"
One took a moment to gather his breath before he smirked at Three. "Y-yeheah! Bihig stupid hehead!"
The older of the two growled. "Sassy are we?"
"So whahat? Whahat are yohou going toho doho about ihit?"
"Oh, I'll show you exactly what I'm going to do!"
With all of One's squirming, his shirt had twisted up, leaving most of his torso exposed. So Three took the opportunity to dig into his bare tummy and ribs.
The youngest Peter's eyes were screwed shut while loud laughter poured out of his mouth.
"Are you going to behe sassyhy again?"
"Well atleast he's honest." The middle Peter wormed his fingers into One's armpit. "Buhut that's not ahalways the best policyhy."
The youngest curled on to his side, unintentionally pinning Three's hand in place.
"What's that?" Peter 3 wiggled even more. "You want me to stay in this spot?"
Three paused his tickles as all other retorts from the youngest fizzled out into snorts. "Yohou gohood?"
"Good." Three ruffled his curls. "Wouldn't want to kill ya."
A moment later, the youngest rolled over and wrapped Three in a hug.
"Waaait a minute." Peter 3 lifted One's arm so he could study his fingers. "What happened to your finger trap?"
"Oh! Uhum . . . Wehell . . . My wehebs mahay or may not disintegrate ahafter aha certain amount ohof tihime?"
"Awww. Guess you'll just have to rebuild it again for next tihime."
Peter 1's blush returned full force. "Shut uhup!"
"Or maybe next time we can just, I don't know." Three gently ground his knuckles into the top of One's head. "Use our words ahand ask for them."
One playfully pushed at Three's arm. "Yohou fihirst."
Immediately, Peter 3 felt his own face flush bright red. "Shut up!"
One managed to escape Three's hold. "You cahant make meee!"
Three chuckled before chasing after Peter 1. "Get back here yohou little stinkeher!"
"But definitely a stinkeher!"
