🍫:Odysseus, Polites, Eurylochus
Summary: Elpenor and Perimedes pull a massive, ship-wide prank. Odysseus calls on his best men to help with the consequences.
A/N: thanks for the request! I had a hard time coming up with a prank- I’m not really the pranking type irl- so I just went with a classic. It’s short and I’m not super proud of it(especially the ending and how short it is), but whatever. Enjoy! :3
Little bit of chaos
There was chaos afoot.
Elepenor and Perimedes, two men on the crew of Odysseus, returning to their homeland of Ithaca, were feeling a little mischievous. So, they got together and decided to pull a prank. A big one.
It was a classic, and a bit cliche, but good, nonetheless. They swapped the salt and the sugar.
Of course, they made sure they had their own dinner first, so that way they wouldn’t be affected.
All went as planned, without a hitch. Perimedes distracted the men in the kitchen while Elpenor made the switch, the labels now being reversed
Come dinner time, everyone was surprised and disgusted to see that their fish was sweet, and their drinks were salty.
“Blegh!” “Gross!” “What the fuck?” “What’s going on with the food?!” The men all chorused in various reactions, eliciting muffled titters from the perpetrators.
They didn’t try very hard to not be caught, so it was pretty obvious who was guilty- the only two men not reacting disgusted, but rather giggling to themselves.
Everyone groaned and shouted various words of disdain, although a few of the fellow mischief makers seemed to appreciate it, shaking their heads fondly.
Perimedes and Elpenor owned the blame, proud of their work, despite its simplicity.
That was, until Odysseus walked up.
“Elpenor, Perimedes.”
“Captain!” They both responded, slightly nervous.
“So, the classic swapping the salt and the sugar prank, hmm?”
They didn’t bother to deny it. “Yes, sir.”
Odysseus huffed, slightly amused. “Clever, if unoriginal. Now, I hope you understand I can’t let this go unpunished, yes?”
“What- but it’s just a prank!” Elepenor freaked out a bit, and Perimedes chimed in as well.
“Yeah, it’s not like we hurt anyone!”
Odysseus laughed a bit. “True, true. And that’s why your punishment isn’t going to be all that harsh. Eurylochus, Polites, come here please.”
The two men walked up, Odysseus still gazing smugly at the perpetrators.
The other two seemed to know exactly what Odysseus had in mind, somehow. And they smirked too.
“Uhh, what’s with the look?” Perimedes asked, brows furrowed slightly.
“Oh, you’ll see.” Odysseus spoke ominously, smiling and chuckling, sinister but in a sort of playful way.
Without any sort of communication, Eurylochus and Polites walked around and helped hold the two men in place.
The two men didn’t know what to expect, just waiting with a slight nervousness. And then, they felt a small, little tickle.
It was teasing, at first. Just a gentle brush up their sides, light and barely noticeable. But it was enough for them to know what was happening.
“Nonono- dohont!” Elpenor started giggling a bit from the anticipation already.
“Oo, giggling already? I haven’t even done it yet!” Odysseus teased again in response, a big, smug grin on his face.
“Buhut you’re going tohoho!”
“So what if I am?”
Perimedes squirmed and tried to get out of the hold, to no avail. “C-c’mon there’s no need for this-!”
“Oh, but there is.” Eurylochus taunted, still trapping Perimedes. “You two decided you had to be little rascals, and now you get to face the consequences.”
The rest of the men all looked on, amused and smug that the two pranksters were getting a bit of retribution.
“Alright, boys, here it comes~” Odysseus teased again, before all three men started to tickle the two pranksters, rapidly wiggling their fingers along their stomachs and sides.
“Ehehehehehehe! Nohohoho-!” Elepneor giggled, squirming in the hold.
Perimedes tried to stop himself from laughing, but failed, the light snickers coming out muffled and strained from the attempt to repress them. “Pfft- c- come ohohon!”
“What’s the matter? Can’t take the consequences of your actions, hmm?”
“SHUhut uhuhup!” Perimedes called in flustered frustration, earning a huff and tsk from Odysseus.
“Ooo, do we need to teach you a lesson on back talking your captain, too?” He teased, voice mock-scolding, although the smile gave away that he wasn’t truly mad. 
“NoHOhoho-!”
“I think we do~”
Odysseus smirked, and moved his hands to squeeze Perimedes’ hips, causing him to laugh much louder.
“AhAHA-! Nohohoho cahahahaptahahain-! Plehehehease!”
“That’ll teach you to backtalk me.”
At the same time, Elpenor was frantically giggling and squirming in place as Polites scribbled along his belly.
“Ehehehehehe plehehease nohoho- eeehahaha!”
“Look at that~ such adorable little giggles~” Polites cooed, smiling brightly as he wiggled his fingers along Elpenor’s belly.
Both victims were helpless to their giggles, Eurylochus holding both of them in place and squeezing their sides occasionally while Odysseus and Polites scribbled along their torso’s.
“Ehahahaha plehehehease ihihi cahahant tahahake ihit- ehehee-!”
“Maybe you should’ve thought about that before pranking the whole ship, Elpenor.” Odysseus smirked in response, drilling his thumbs into Perimedes’ hips.
“Plehehehease cahahaptahahain stohOHOp-!”
Perimedes protested frantically, twisting side to side uselessly to try and avoid the horribly ticklish sensation on his hips.
“I don’t know..” Odysseus looked to Polites and Eurylochus.
“I think we should do a grand finale, just to make sure the message really sticks”
The other two agreed as Elpenor and Perimedes protested frantically, their eyes going wide with a giddy dread.
Their protests were ignored as Odysseus and Polites shot eachother a silent glance, and Eurylochus held onto them tighter.
Without any verbal communication, both of them started to blow raspberries on their stomachs, and target their sides with their hands at the same time.
It only lasted a few seconds, the loud laughter of the pranksters filling the dining hall, before it stopped.
Eurylochus let them go, and they both immediately slumped forward slightly as they caught their breath.
“Take that as a lesson. If you’re gonna pull a prank, at least try not to get caught.” Odysseus teased, smirking and playfully patting their shoulders.
After that, food was remade and distributed correctly and everyone ate in peace…. For now.
