How to correctly bond with your nephew
Characters: Camilo (lee), Bruno (ler)
This is a SFW Tickle fic. Do not tag it as the opposite, and do not tag it as a ship either.
Summary: Bruno spends some time with Camilo, then he figures out something interesting when he thinks its going nowhere.
"So.. uh, do you like rats, too?" Bruno nervously asked Camilo, who was sitting next to him.
"..I guess?" Camilo answered.
Yeah, this was getting a little awkward.
Bruno was trying his best to act relatable with his nephew, but, well, it wasn't working too well.
It waa easy with Mirabel. Why did it feel so difficult with Camilo?
I mean, Bruno and Camilo both liked a lot of the same things.
Maybe it was because of how awkward Bruno had the tendecy to be.
Though he didn't mean it, of course.
Living in the walls for 10 years did a lot to him.
Bruno sighed. He didn't want to seem like a bad tio.
Just as he was about to get up, however, one of his rats crawled out of his hood.
"Oh, looks like someone woke up from their nap." Bruno said, chuckling.
"You keep those things in your ruana?" Camilo asked, raising an eyebrow.
"It's where they feel the most safe, I believe. Or they're just super attached to me. Probably both."
The rat squeaked, crawling closer to Camilo.
"Oh, uh.. hi there?" Camilo gave a small smile towards the rat.
The rat squeaked happily, crawling up Camilo's back, and onto his shoulder.
"H- Hehey!- hold ohon, that tihickles-" Camilo giggled, gently picking up the rat and setting it down on Bruno's shoulder as it skittered back to his hood.
Maybe he can bond with him this way?
"How do you deal with those things tickling you all the time?" Camilo questioned, Bruno just shrugging.
"I, heh.. dunno. I'm pretty sure they don't know what they're doing when they do it, but they do it anyway. Uh, I suppose you're ticklish too, then?"
Camilo let out a small squeak. "UhH- sort of? I'm not that ticklish, I'm less ticklish than you, maybe!" He said pridefully- though he was lying.
Bruno grinned mischeviously. "Ohoho, really? I'll be the judge of that, mi sobrino!"
"Wait, wait, waHAHAHAHAHAIT! TIHIHIHIO BRUNOHOHOHO!" Camilo immediately burst into frantic giggles once Bruno began gently tickling his sides.
"You are ticklish! How did I not figure this out myself?! I could've sworn everybody in this Casita knew! Ah, sorry, I'm rambling again. But this is fun, right? I, uh, hope I'm not hurting you."
"AHAHAHAHA- AHAHAHAHAI GUEHEHEHEHEHESS! IHI MEHEHEAN, AHAHAHAI DOHOHON'T HAHAHATE IHIHIT! IHIHIHIT DOHOHOESN'T HUHUHURT, BY THE WAHAHAHAY-"
"Alright, that's a relief." Bruno exhaled, continuing the tickles. "It's great to know you're enjoying this."
Bruno moved his hands to Camilo's stomach, earning a squeal and multiple squeaks following after that.
"HEHEHEEE!!- EEHEHEHEHEHEHEE- BRUHUHUHUNOHOHOHOHO!!" Camilo said through laughter, trying to grab his tio's wrists.
"Aw, did I find a good spot? Huh? Does it tickle?" Bruno teased, enjoying seeing his sobrino's reactions a lot.
"YOHOHOHOHOU KNOHOHOW IHIT DOHOHOHOEHEHEHES! WHAHAHAHY AHAHAHARE YOHOU AHAHAHASKIHIHING MEHEHEHEHEE?!"
"Awww! Is the great shapeshifter, Camilo Madrigal, ticklish? Am I tickling you? What happened to 'I'm not that ticklish, I'm less ticklish than you!', huh?" Bruno moved his hands to Camilo's hips, squeezing and scribbling.
Camilo let out a screech. "KEEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEEHEE- OHOHOHOHO GAHAHAHAHAD!!- FIHIHIHINEHEHE, IHI WAHAHAHAS LYIHIHING AHAHAHABOUT NAHAHAHAT BEHEHEING TIHIHIHICKLIHIHISH!- *SQUEEEAK!*- MHHEEHEHEHEHEE! AHAHAHAI'M SOHOHOHORRY!"
"No, no, it's fine, Camilo." Bruno reassured him. "I'm not mad. I'll stop now, by the way." Bruno did just that, letting Camilo breathe.
"You all good?" He softly pat Camilo's back.
"Yehehes.. thahank you." Camilo said.
"Well, we found something else we can bond over now, right?" Bruno shrugged.
"I guess so. But now it's my turn!" Camilo wiggled his fingers.
"Aha, oh.." Bruno paused. "Oh, boy."
