Warnings: This is a tickle fic, please donât read if thatâs not your thing. Mild language. Long-ish.Â
Summary: Sam and Dean have been fighting constantly, and the three staying with them in the bunker come up with a solution.
Really, the bunker is only so big. Sure, it was larger than any of the motels they used to stay in, it had a whole library, a huge garage, they had their own rooms. But with two hunters, an angel, an archangel, and the king of hell all under one roof- any venue would seem too small. Especially after two full weeks. Gabriel had walked in with an injured Cas slung over his shoulder, proclaiming that if he hadnât been there Cas would have died, and that he needed to stay there to make sure Cas got better fully. Cas had tried to claim he was fine, but Gabriel ignored his protests and made himself comfortable in the library. Sam and Dean had agreed to let Gabe stay, begrudgingly, as they didnât want anything to happen to Cas. But at this point, Cas was pretty much better and Gabe was just staying, it seemed, to annoy them.
If that werenât enough, the boys had Crowley locked in the dungeon. He had learned of the exact location of the bunker and they couldnât risk letting him go. But after a week, Gabe decided that it was boring keeping Crowley locked in a room and released him while Sam and Dean were out on a hunt. The cuffs were still on, but Crowley now spent his time drinking champagne and lounging on the couch.
When the hunters returned, they began yelling at Gabe for being so immature and releasing Crowley just because of boredom. To which he responded, âI didnât release him. See? Heâs chained.â he pointed to the cuffs. The fighting escalated until Cas had gotten irritated enough and pushed a table between the two fighting sides.
âENOUGH! Itâs going to take me longer to get better if I have to keep listening to this nonsense.â Sam and Dean huffed away from the others, annoyed at being told what to do in their own bunker.
That was a week ago, and the tension had only escalated. The boys were trying really hard not to start anymore fights with their three âguests,â so resorted to taking out their frustrations on each other. This was the second one of the day and it was only noon.
The two stood on opposite sides of the library, facing each other.
âThis is ridiculous, Dean! Iâm so sick of you and your dumbass ideas.â Sam yelled crossing his arms.
âIt is not a ridiculous idea! Iâm just trying to shake things up a bit, Sam! I canât help it, being stuck here with you has been incredibly boring.â
âWe know how to kill vamps, Dean! Youâre just like Gabe. We ARENâT testing a new way to kill vamps just because youâre BORED.â
âIâm right here, boys.â Gabe interjected.
âShut up, Gabe!â The hunters said at the same time before turning back to each other. Dean continued and took a couple pointed steps toward his brother, âOh like Iâm the only one around here with stupid ideas? What about yours to let the actual king of hell roam free around the bunker.â
Crowley sipped his drink and glared at the two of them, âWe can hear you.â Sam and Dean were too focused on each other to even respond.
âCome on, man! Itâs not like Iâm the one who let him out! Gabe would have just let him out again!â They had moved closer to each other now, both looked about ready to punch the other. Sam yelled again, âThis is so typical of you, Dean! You donât always know better than me! You didnât even have another idea on what to do.â
âOh, I have plenty of ideas-â
âSTUPID ONES! That keep getting us into these situations in the first place. Why donât you just take your stupid car and go hunt by yourself since you donât want to listen to anyone else anyway.â Dean reached out and grabbed the front of his little brotherâs shirt.
âThe hell did you just say about baby?â Sam raised a fist toward Dean and tried to pry his hand off his collar.
âYou know, I think Iâve had about enough of this.â Gabe joined the conversation, snapping his fingers. Suddenly, both Sam and Dean found they were frozen in their current positions. Gabe had to admit, it looked pretty funny to have them frozen in place mid fight.
âLet us go, Gabriel, or I swear to God Iâll-â Dean commanded from his frozen position.
âOh. Iâm shaking. Youâll do what exactly?â Gabe leaned in cupping his ear as if waiting for a response. âThatâs what I thought. Now, I am sick and tired of the two of you fighting all the time. Itâs making for a very unpleasant stay here.â
âThen why donât you get out.â Sam grumbled.
Gabe chuckled in response, âI have a better idea. I think a little punishment is in order.â Crowley, who had been watching this all take place from his position on the couch, decided it was time to join in on the conversation.
âI couldnât agree more.â He interjected, âIf youâd be so kind as to remove these cuffs, I am an expert at torture.â
âNot a chance, bucko. You think Iâm that stupid?â was Gabeâs response. Crowley shrugged. âNo, I have my own type of torture that would work great on these two.â Crowley looked confused but intrigued. Gabe snapped again, and the hunters found themselves lying flat on the floor, arms above their heads, and unable to move.
âLet us up, NOW!â Dean demanded as they both tried to get up, to no avail. Despite hearing the archangel deny Crowleyâs request to remove the cuffs, neither Sam or Dean was thrilled to be unable to defend themselves while in his presence, or in Gabeâs for that matter.
âI donât think I will. Are you two, by any chance, ticklish?â Gabe wiggled his fingers at them for emphasis. Samâs eyes widened at that and he struggled even more to break free from the invisible force. Dean got scared, but he tried to hide it as he continued to try and get away.
âWell, Iâm not. But Sammy here- man you wouldnât believe-â
âDean! Shut up!â Sam glared at him as best he could from his position, Dean chuckled. âYouâre such a liar, Dean, you are SO ticklish.â
âI am not!â They both continued fuming at each other as they tried to escape. Crowley stood and walked over to where Gabe was standing, smirking at the boys who were stuck to the ground. âEven in this position, theyâre fighting.â Crowley started with a laugh, âYou better hurry up with that punishment.â A huge grin spread across the archangelâs face as he snapped his fingers again. The effect was immediate. It started lightly, floating between ribs, sides, feet, knees trying to find their worst places. Dean had clamped his jaw shut, trying desperately not to give in and laugh. He was succeeding, so far. Sam was trying this strategy as well, but evidently was more ticklish than Dean. He hadnât laughed yet, but his eyes were watering from the effort.
Eventually, it seemed the grace gave up on floating around and decided to just spread to every ticklish place at once, with doubled effort. It wasnât quite as bad as someone actually tickling you, but still pretty damn bad. Neither of the boys could hold it at this point and began laughing. Dean tried to hide his arm in his sleeve to avoid the embarrassment, while Sam was laughing too much to think about anything else. He shook his head from side to side and continued to try desperately to get away.
âSTAHAHHAHAHAP PLEHEHEHAHAHAHAHSEâ Sam shouted at Gabriel, who just shook his head in response. Dean stayed quiet, he really didnât want to give the dick angel the satisfaction of him begging. But as the pressure increased on his hips, it became harder. âGa-habe!â
âWhat is it Dean? Is it too much for you? Need me to stop?â The archangel teased. Dean didnât respond but rolled his eyes as he continued laughing into his shoulder.
âHAHAHHAHAHA STAHAHAHA-â Sam continued to laugh.
âI donât think so, Samsquatch.â
âBUHUHUT IHIHI CAAHAN.â He couldnât get the words out through his laughter, âIHIHI CAHAHAN HEHELP WITH DEHEHEAHAHAN!â This intrigued the archangel, and he snapped his fingers again making the tickling stop on Sam, leaving Dean in agony. Sam was still giggling as he tried to catch his breath.
âWhat do you mean you can help with Dean?â Gabriel questioned.
âSAHAHAMMY! DOHONâT YOU DAHAHAHARE!â Sam ignored this request.
âHis hips are the worst, and his ribs are pretty bad too. I bet if you tickle those spots and also keep the grace going, heâll beg.â Sam smirked at his brother, âMaybe you shouldnât have mentioned how ticklish I was.â
âIHIHIHIâM GOHOHONNA KIHIILL YOHUHUHUHU!â Dean yelled as Crowley and Gabe both walked up to him. It was that moment that Cas arrived back at the bunker and rushed to see what was happening at the noise.
âWhatâs going on? Who are you killing?â Cas questioned, confused by the scene before him.
Sam snorted, âHeâs killing me. Although Iâm not sure how heâs is going to manage it if he canât stop laughing.â Sam was really proud of himself, although he noted that though the archangel had stopped the tickling he hadnât released him from his hold so he still couldnât move. Cas turned a puzzling look at Dean and the two who were poised over him with wiggling fingers. âWhy are you killing your brother, Dean?â
âBECAHAUSE HEHEHEHEâS A TRAHAIATOR!â As he finished his sentence Crowley and Gabe began tickling his worst spots at simultaneously. Coupled with the grace, Dean lost it.
âHAHAHAHAHAHAHA STOOHOHOHOH PLEHEHEAHASE.â Cas looked concerned.
âItâs just a bit of tickling, Cas.â Crowley answered the confused look, âIf I had it my way thereâd be some actual torture.â
âTHIHIHIHIS IHIHIS TORTUHUHUHU!â
Sam laughed at his brotherâs predicament, then turned to Cas, âYouâve never heard of tickling, Cas? How is that even possible with a brother like Gabe?â
âGuilty as charged.â The archangel laughed, âItâs a human thing, bro. When you touch them in a certain way it causes a weird feeling and makes them laugh.â
âDoes it hurt?â Cas still seemed worried.
âNope. They love it.â Cas seemed relieved, but Dean shook his head more,
âNOHOHO WEHEHE DOHOHOHONâT! STOHOHOHOP!!â Sam was too busy laughing at Dean to speak.
Crowley suddenly looked over at the younger hunter and stopped his attack on Dean, while Gabe continued. âYou think this is funny, huh Moose? Considering this was your idea, I wouldnât be so smug.â Crowley had a smirk growing on his face as he stood up and took a small step toward Sam. Gabe caught on to what Crowley was thinking, and stopped his attack on Dean as well, also releasing his grace to let the hunter breathe. Cas sat on a nearby chair and watched in amusement. Heâd never seen anything like this before, but he liked that the Winchesterâs werenât arguing for the first time in weeks. Dean put an arm across his forehead and another across his stomach, laughing and trying to breathe. Crowley and Gabe backed away and gave him space. After he had calmed down Gabe released him from his hold on the ground and asked, âSo, Deanarino, it seems we have a predicament here.â Both Gabe and Crowley were smiling mischievously at him, which was a really bad combination. He was briefly worried that Gabe had changed his mind about the whole letting Crowley torture them thing.
âWhat would that be?â Dean replied hesitantly, still trying to get ahold of his breathing as he sat up.
Gabrielâs grin deepened, if that was possible, âWell you see, my little brother needs another demonstration on what tickling is, and your little brother just told an archangel and the king of hell how to torture you more effectively.â
Dean glanced at his brother, the same mischievous grin appearing on his face. Sam was suddenly very aware that he was the only one still pinned by the grace. Â
Dean made his way over to Sam whose eyes were wide as he tried to squirm, no longer finding his brotherâs situation so funny.
âWell, that doesnât sound like a predicament to me at all.â Dean sat above his little brotherâs head, fortunate that he didnât have to worry about pinning him. âI think I know just the way to solve that.â Dean motioned for Cas to come sit by him for closer observation, and he obliged.
âDean, Dean look Iâm sorry! I didnât mean to! Please donât.â He begged, knowing it was pretty much pointless after giving Dean up like that. Gabe and Crowley sat on either side of Sam, and Dean rolled up his sleeves for effect.
âPlease donât what?â the older hunter inquired with a grin.
âDean Iâm not falling for tha-ha!â Sam couldnât even get the words out before his brother began scratching at his sides. Dean ignored his brother and began explaining what he was doing to Cas, âSo right now Iâm just lightly going over his sides, which isnât his worst spot but still tickles. If I pressed a little harder,â he did this for emphasis making Samâs laughter hike, âit would tickle more.â It was even worse than he imagined having Dean actually use him as a demonstration for the angel. Cas was watching with genuine interest, while Crowley and Gabe chuckled from the side.
âHey Gabe can you turn that angel mojo back on?â Gabe was about to snap his fingers when Cas held up a hand, âWait, can I try?â
Gabe chuckled, âWooh! Taking after me little bro. Couldnât be prouder.â Crowley rolled his eyes and Dean smirked at Cas.
âBe my guest.â Dean continued to tickle Samâs sides as Cas snapped his fingers and the ticklish grace began to spread again.
âNoho, pl-plehease!â Sam tried to hold back his laughter but couldnât help a couple of small giggles that escaped.
âYouâre pretty good at this for it being your first time.â Gabe noted to Cas, who seemed to be proud of himself.
âAlright, Moose, timeâs up.â Crowley said, losing patience about the hunter trying to be stoic. He began to dig into his hips. Dean took this opportunity to move up to his brotherâs ribs and underarms, and Gabe filled in the space in between by swirling his fingers around Samâs tummy.
âGUHUHUYS! IHIHIHI GEHEHEHET IHIT! PLEHEHEHEAHAHSE!â
âFinally.â Crowley said putting on an irritated tone, but he was clearly trying to hide a smile.
The hunterâs laughter seemed to motivate them even more. Dean advised Crowley to go for Samâs knees, and when he did all of his worst spots were being tickled at once. That, plus the angel mojo, was absolutely terrible.
âHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAH! STOHOHOHHOP! LEHEHET MEHEHEH GOHOHOHO PLEHEHEHEAHAHASE!â After a while Sam seemed to be worn out. He was breathing hard and his face was a deep shade of red. Dean gestured for them to slow it down to give Sammy a chance to breathe.
âThis isnât even real torture. Humans are so weak.â Crowley muttered to himself. Cas stopped his grace, his concern evident.
âAre you alright, Sam?â Cas inquired. Sam slowly nodded his head in response.
âGood! Then you wonât mind if we continue-â Dean quickly responded.
âNO! PLEHEASE NOHO!â Dean, Crowley and Gabe had never stopped the light tickles so Sam was still a giggling mess.
âApologize for telling them my worst spots and weâll let you go.â As Dean said this, he intensified the tickle attack and the others followed suit, making it harder for Sam to speak.
âNOHOHOHO FAHAHAHIHIHIR! HAHAHAHHAHAAHA! OHOHOOKAHAHAY! IHIHIHIâM SOHOHORRY!â
âFoooor?â Gabe prodded.
âFOHOHOR TEHEHEHELLING THEHEHEM YOHOHOUR WOHOHORST SPOHOHOTS!â Sam barely got the words out, and Gabe and Crowley stopped their attack, laughing as they sat back. But Dean continued, âAND admit that my ideas are NOT stupid.â
âNOHOHOHO WAHAHAHAY!â
âOkay then Iâll just keep doing this.â
Cas laughed, but said, âHe did what you asked, I think itâs only fair to stop.â Dean gave Cas an annoyed look but stopped, backing away from Sam to let him breathe.
âCas saved you, man. But as soon as heâs gone, Iâm gonna get the rest of my revenge. I promise.â He said with a chuckle and then got up to grab a beer. Gabe released his grace that had been holding the hunter down and he immediately curled into a ball, rolling onto his side.
Both hunters were feeling better about themselves. It felt as if a huge weight had been lifted and the petty fights they had been having seemed pointless now. Dean brought back beers for all of them-except Crowley- and went to Sam to make sure he was okay.
âYeah.â He grabbed his forearm and helped him up, tossing him a beer.
âYou know,â Dean glanced at Sam and then back at their guests, âI donât appreciate being tickled by unwelcome guests in our own home.â He teased.
âYeah, whatâs that all about?â Sam played along, and they each took a menacing step toward the other three.
âI know what youâre thinking boys,â Gabe chimed in, âand itâs not gonna work. Tickling is a human thing.â Both hunters squinted at him in disbelief as Sam continued,
âWanna test that theory?â Gabeâs eyes widened and he grabbed Cas and left. Crowley was still cuffed, but was backing away from the brothers with his champagne in hand. Dean chased after him to put him back in the dungeon now that Gabe was gone. He grabbed ahold of the chains and quickly turned to Sam,
âHey, at least we know how to get rid of the trickster now.â He smiled, âOh and by the way, Cas is gone.â
Samâs eyes widened remembering his brotherâs threat. This was going to be a long night.
