A Christmas fic! A HUGE thank you to @thetickleeraven to finish this up for me!! I neeeever would have had this dont if it wasnt for them, so thanks again!!! Anyway, yup, christmas ego fic!
Warning; Darkstache and tickle fluff!
~~~~~
It was a tradition recently started. The Septic egos and the Ipliers would have Christmas together. For the most part, it was a lot of fun! The gift exchanges usually went well and it was a good time to talk with the others.
Anti, Will, and Dark were seated on the floor by the Christmas tree, talking and catching up. Anti slid a gift to Will, chuckling softly. Will didn’t hesitate in opening the brightly wrapped gift.
Inside was a black box, and inside that black box, rest a pair of pink, fuzzy handcuffs.
Will glanced up at Anti, who had at this point, nearly died laughing. It wasn’t long before Will joined him; even Dark was forcing back a smile.
“Veeeery funny, Glitchy!” Will chuckled, picking up the gift. “I get it, you know me so well~”
“I sure do, Bubblegum~!” Anti teased, tossing the key he had taken earlier between his hands. Dark sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose to hide his amused grin. Will locked the open handcuffs around his wrist, smirking as Anti started giggling again.
“Any takers~?” He purred, leaning against Dark. Dark’s face tinted blue a bit, though he shook it off almost immediatly. Dark grinned, turning towards Will and taking his hands. A few nearby egos ‘ooh'ed at the turn of events. Will chuckled, hooking his arms around Dark’s waist so that they were basically stuck together. Dark rest his hands on Will’s sides as he pulled the other into a gentle kiss.
Anti ‘ew'ed jokingly, like a child seeing their parents kiss. But Will and Dark ignored him, to caught up in the moment. Well, Will was.
Dark, however, developed an idea. Wilford was handcuffed, completely vulnerable, right in front of him. It was too perfect an opportunity.
Dark’s hands found their way to Will’s sides as his fingers began kneading into the soft flesh. Dark couldn’t help his grin as Wilford recoiled before bursting into silly giggles.
“Dahahark! W-Whahat the Hehehell?!” The pink-haired ego squealed at the feeling of wiggling fingers. He couldn’t pull himself away, his handcuffs were looped around the one tickling him! Everytime he jumped back Dark came with him.
“I know you love being tickled, but you don’t have to keep pulling me closer, Will.” Dark snickered as his fingers danced beneath his boyfriend’s shirt, squeezing and poking at every scrap of skin they found.
“Oh mahahan, thihis is priceless!” Anti laughed as he jingled the key in the air. “There’s no escape for poor Wilfy~”
“Gihihimme thehe kehehey!” Will laughed and squealed as Dark nuzzled his neck, letting his prickly stubble scratch over the ticklish skin.
“Nah, this is way more entertaining.” Anti sneered, spinning the key chain on his index finger.
“SHUHUT UHUP!” Will squealed as Dark’s fingers began making their way down to his hips. “DAHARK NO STOHOHOHOP!” Dark grinned wickedly at Will’s hysterical laughter and wild thrashing that only served to bring Dark closer.
“You shouldn’t have been so careless around the tickle monster, Will~ Now he’s gonna get you!” With that, he dug his fingers into those ever so sensitive hollows.
“FUCK PLEHEHEHEASE! PFFTAHAHAHA!” Wilford bucked and shrieked in full belly laughter, his thrashing pulling Dark so close he was chest-to-chest with him. Dark didn’t mind, it meant he got to see that adorable smile and those pink cheeks up close.
“Please what? Tease you some more about how helpless and ticklish you are? Because I could definitely do that. Cootchie coo”
“SHUHUHUT UHUHUP!” Will quickly brought his hands up to cover his burning red face. At least he tried. Since they were still handcuffed to Dark, as soon as his hands shot towards his face, they only managed to push Dark’s face into Will’s. Thus, bringing the two in for another kiss, only this time with more laughter.
“Oh come on you guys, we get it, you’re in love.” Anti mockingly gagged as Dark stopped his tickling to enjoy a calmer kiss.
After a few minutes of Wilford and Dark enjoying each other Anti had run out of patience and left the room, leaving Wilford, still in handcuffs, alone with his tickle monster.
I HEARD A COUPLE DIFFERENT VARIATIONS BUT I WENT WITH WHAT SEEMED TO BE THE MOST COMMON
ANYWAY; DARKSTACHE AND TICKLES AND FLUFF AHEAD
~~~~~~~~~~
Warf flicked off the lights of him studio, dismissing Bim to go. He rubbed his eyes, yawning softly. It had been a long day, longer than he expected. All he really wanted to do at the moment was curl up beside his boyfriend and talk to him. With that intent in mind, Warf fixed his suspenders and started heading towards his door.
His hand had only just touched the doorknob…when he heard it. Yep, it was Dark alright. But he had never heard him sound like…that! It was gorgeous!
Dark was singing.
Something emo, Warf assumed, though he couldn’t tell.
He softly turned the doorknob to peer inside.
Dark was in fact singing. It was low and sweet, though in perfect pitch. Almost like Mark’s, but a bit more…hypnotizing. Warf stepped in as silently as possible as Dark shed his black jacket, singing his heart out. Dark had slipped into a more comfortable outfit and was at the mirror by the time he finished his song. As he was wiping off his eyeliner, he saw Warf’s reflection in the mirror, staring at him with a shocked expression. Dark grinned, wiping off the last of the black on his eyes.
Dark spun on his heels, crossing his arms.
“Can I help you?” He chuckled, rasing his eyebrows.
“You can sing?” Warf questioned after a moment of silence.
“Yes?” Dark asked, leaning against the sink. “Why?”
“Do it again!” Warf smiled brightly.
“Why?” Dark laughed, walking over to him to kiss him on the nose.
“Cause I love your voice!” Warf replied, grabbing Dark’s hand and pulling him to the bed. The two sat down, Warf still with a big smile.
“Yeah it is!” Warf whined. “C'mon, please? One more song?”
“What for?” Dark pushed himself back against the bedframe, patting the bed beside him. Will sat next to him and put his head on Dark’s shoulder.
“Because you love me?” Warf said hopefully. Dark rolled his eyes.
“While that is true, it’s late. Are you not tired?” Dark put an arm around his lover, leaning against his head.
“Kinda,” Will shrugged. He suddenly gasped. “You could sing me a lullaby!”
“A lullaby?” Dark shook his head. “Will, I don’t-”
“Pleeeeease? One song. Then I’ll stop pestering you for as long as you want!” Warf looked up at Dark with puppy-dog eyes. Dark sighed.
“No, Will.” He insisted. Dark was starting to wonder how he fell in love with this man. Warf huffed.
“But Daaarky!” Warf groaned playfully. Dark had to smile. But really, how could you not? Sure, he could be annoying. But he’d be lying saying he didn’t think Will was cute as all hell. Warf nuzzled his face into Dark’s neck. “Sing for meeee!”
Dark fliched, his shoulder moving up to protect his neck. His expression twitched into a wider smile, eyes wandering to the floor. He hoped Will wouldn’t notice, but he knew he had. Especially when Warf’s arms wrapped around his middle, drawing shapes on Dark’s stomach.
“Will…cuhut it ohohout…” Dark said warily, cursing the glitching and giggling in his voice. Warf smiled wider, lightly scratching the skin of Darks torso. Dark jumped, swatting at his hands. “Wihihilford!”
“All you gotta do, Darkasparkles, is agree to sing me a sooong!” Will chimed, his fingers crawling up Dark’s sides. Dark bit his tongue, shutting his eyes.
“N-No!” He said, firmly though not quite sternly. Warf grinned, shrugging.
“If you say so~” He laughed, his fingers growing closer to Dark’s ribs. The second they hit them, Darks hands locked around Warf’s wrists. Dark caught his breath in record time, pushing Warf’s hands away. He managed to hold both of the others wrist in one hand, adjusting himself to face Warf who was smiling like an idiot. Dark sighed…then smirked. He let go of Warf’s hands.
“Fine then,” Dark huffed, watching Warf’s face light up. “I’ll sing you a lullaby. Lie down.”
Warf did so, lying with his arms behind his head. He watched curiously as Dark stradled his thighs, clearning his throat.
“Alright, I’m gonna sing to you,” Dark said, still grinning like a madman. “But if you want me to sing, you have to do one thing.” Dark warned. Warf cocked his head.
“And what’s that?” He asked, albeit a bit nervously.
“Keep you’re arms above your head, just like that. And try not to move or…mess up my song.” Dark chuckled. Something about the way Dark spoke was unsettling, but Warf nodded all the same. “I have a perfect lullaby.”
Warf visably tensed when Dark rested his hands on his stomach. He had a feeling he knew what was coming. He already felt the butterflies swarming around his stomach and Dark hadn’t even done anything yet!
But when he had, Warf regretted ever asking him to sing. Dark pulled up Warf’s shirt slightly, just enough to expose his navel. Then, he began drawing torturously light circles around it…
“‘Round and 'round the garden, like a teddy bear~” Dark sang, continuing his circle pattern. He watched with a maniacal grin as Warf’s face lit up like a firework, biting his lip. Dark walked his fingers, first one…
“One step…”
Then another…
“Two steps…”
He added his second hand on his one, one on either side of Warf’s ribs.
He paused, and so did Warf, who held his breath. This is not at all what Warf was expecting…but it definitely was what he was hoping for. After what seemed like an eternity…Dark finished the lyric.
“…A tickly under there!” Dark moved his hands underneath Warf’s arms, scribbling his fingers in the hallows. Warf’s arms slammed down from behind his head, grabbing Darks arms in an attempt to fend off the sensations.
“DAHAHARK! Yohou ahahahasshole!” Warf giggled heavily, squirming underneath the other. Dark chuckled, ruffling his hair.
“You brought your arms down~” Dark sing-songed. “Lets make a deal. Every time you bring your arms down, I do another verse. Got it? You have to make it 30 seconds. That doesn'tsound to bad, does it?”
Warf paused for a moment, reviving from the after-tickles. He nodded, blushing harder. Dark smirked.
“Good. Now, put your arms up again.”
Though hesitant, Warf did.
Dark repeated his actions from earlier, smirking as he traced circles. Warf didn’t even make an attempt to stop his high-pitched stream of childish giggling. He held his arms where they were though.
“'Round and 'round the garden, like a teddy bear…” Dark sang. Warf admitted, he still did love his voice. But…the pitch and the way he sings, especially lyrics like these brought a blush to his face. Warf’s breath hitched slightly as Dark walked his fingers across his stomach.
“One step…two steps…”
Warf held his breath, shutting his eyes. Thirty seconds, Will. You can do this.
“A tickly over again~”
Wil, you cannot do this.
Darks fingers scribbled and skittered across Warf’s stomach, occasionally going up to his ribs or under his arms. The timer had begun. He could hear Dark counting over his laughter.
“DahahaHAHARK!” Will whined playfully, fighting the urge to pull his arms down. “Stoppit- Ahahaha- Nohohohooo!”
“Aww, where’s the fun it giving up? Kitchy kitchy coo, Wilfy~” Dark teased, speeding up his motions momenarily. “15…16…17.”
“SHUHUhuhut uhuhup!” Warf ended up snorting mid-sentance, only making him blush harder as well as making his warning less meaningful.
“Cute snort, sweeheart~” Dark cooed, poking each and every one of Warf’s ribs. It was practically madening…but he still had his arms up. Dark would be lying saying he wasn’t impressed. “26…27…28…”
Warf had an odd feeling Dark was about to go for the kill, but to his surprise, he started slowing down. Warf took a moment to regain himself…However, he had less time than he anticipated.
“…30.”
Dark suddenly vibrated his thumbs into Warf’s hips, smirking devilishly as the other broke into loud, booming laughter. Warf’s arms shot down and grabbed Dark’s wrist, pushing in vain at the other.
Dark felt himself laughing along with him, finally retracting his hands and laying down beside Warf.
After Warf had taken a moment to calm down, he wrapped his arms over Dark, who did the same.
“You should sing more.” Warf mumbled into Darks chest. Dark smiled.
“That song?” He joked. Warf huffed playfully.
“Nooo! Not that one!” He insisted.
“I’ll think about it. Now, get some sleep, sweetheart. I love you.”
“I love you too.”
A moment of silence was followed by Warf’s after-tickle hiccups. He slapped his hand over his mouth, peering up at Dark. In the darkness of the room, there was still a bright red on Warf’s face. Dark only laughed softly, holding him closer.
“Adorable~”
Warf didn’t even bother protesting, shutting his eyes, and dozing off. Dark followed suite, finally relaxing as well. Dark really did love him, he always had. And sometimes he forgot how much he valued that until he was holding Warf in his arms. It was sweet, but he’d never admit it. And honestly, neither would Wilford. But I can assure you, neither would change a thing.
~~~~~
… SECRET ANGSTY ENDING IF YOUR UP FOR IT BELOW BECAUSE I CANT HELP MYSELF-
Dark wished he could have gone to bed. He watched with a sigh a his lover fell asleep in his arms. He whispered his name, just to make sure he wasn’t awake.
“Wilford?” He asked lowly. The other didn’t stir. Dark very slowly retracted his arms from around him, getting out of bed. He paused when Warf reached to the empty space, but by the looks of it, he was still asleep. Dark stood, shutting his eyes. And, in an instant, he was gone. Two took his place.
One red, one blue.
Damien adjusted his suit, creeping towards the other.
“Damien,” Celine sighed. “We can’t…be here long.”
“It’ll only take a moment, Celine. Please. I just…” Damien rubbed his eyes. “I need…to see him again.”
The two sat on the edge of the bed, the lightness of the spirits not denting the matress. Damien lie beside Warf, examining him.
“…He’s so different now.” Damien said softly, propping himself up on his elbow.
“He’s not the Colonel anymore.” Celine answered quietly, wiping Warf’s hair from his eyes. Whatever she touched turned red on Warf’s skin, though only for a moment. Damien fought back tears, swallowing the lump in his throat.
“I miss him, Celine.” He choked, wiping his eyes. Celine put a hand on his shoulder.
“So do I, Damien. But he can’t know us. It will only hurt him more. He’s been through enough already.” Celine stated with a trembling voice. She felt tears in her eyes aswell. As light as he could, Damien put a hand on Warf’s shoulder, the area around it going blue.
“…Goodnight, William.” He said softly, retracting his hand. Celine nodded, standing where she perviously was with open arms. Damien took one glance back at Warf, then stood to embrace Celine.
As quickly as they had arrived, they were gone, Dark standing in their place. Dark wiped his eyes, straightened his posture, and crawled back into bed. In almost no time at all, Warf had pulled him close, and he had done the same.
HI ITS SERPENT WITH A TEENSY MINDLESS FLUFF THING TO COUNTERACT THE SADNESS OF WHO KILLED MARKIPLIER HERE WE GO:
—
Wilford sighed in content as Dark played with his magnificently pink hair. The two were settled in bed, Wil’s head in Dark’s lap. Wil smiled when he caught Dark’s fond smile. As the darker ego’s fingers massages his scalp Wil practically melted, his eyelids dropping and his body going pretty much limp.
Dark chuckled. “This must feel nice for you to purr like this.”
Wilford hadn’t even noticed the content sounds escaping his lips. He couldn’t even care, Dark’s massages were heaven.
The pinker ego didn’t even notice how much time had gone by because when Dark stopped a whine of disappointment immediately left him. “Why’d you stop?”
Dark smiled. “We have to go, love. I can’t spend all day in here massaging your head.”
“Why not?”
“Because we have things to do.” Dark stood and kissed Will’s cheek. Wilford huffed and grabbed Dark for a hug, which he reciprocated, but then Wil refused to let go.
“Don’t leave yet.” He whined. Dark couldn’t help but chuckle, amused at the other’s shenanigans.
“Wilford. Let go.”
“No.”
“Let. Go.” Dark poked Wilford’s sides at each word to emphasize his point and grinned and the squeaks it produced.
“Dahark! Stay!”
“Let go and come with me, doofus.” Dark began poking and prodding all over Wilford’s torso eliciting all kinds of squeaks and giggles, yet Will still refused to let go.
“I wahant mohore cuhuddles!” He tried pouting but the tickle-induced giggling made that difficult.
“Last chance to let go, love~” Dark wiggled his fingers at Wilford as a final warning. This of course did not deter the ego from pestering him more.
“Just sit down and cuddle me for 10 more minutes goddamit!” Will whined.
Well, he warned him.
Dark launched ten wiggling fingers at his lover’s sides and tummy which resulted in booming laughter.
“Dahahark! DARK! Hahaha- stop- ahaha!”
“You wanted some more time together, and so you’re getting it, cutie~”
That last word always got to Will and Dark noticed how his cheeks always took on the cutest and most suiting pink hue when he used that pet name. Dark let his hands explore, one wandering to the victim’s very sensitive bellybutton and the other to his underarms.
Wilford slammed his arms down and arched his back and melodious laughter poured from his lips.
“Cootchie cootchie coo, Giggles~” Dark whispered in his ears, making them blush to match his cheeks in pink.
“STAHAHAP- FAHAHA- FAHAHACKING TEHEHEASING! BWAHAHA!” Wil was barely coherent through his laughter and occasional snort, which Dark made sure to tease him about.
“Aw, you sound like a pig with those snorts. How adorable.”
“DARK! AHAHA- STOHOHOP!”
“Hm…” Dark used a single finger to scratch right below Will’s navel. “Should I?”
“YEHEHEHES!”
“Are you going to let us leave?”
“YEHEHEHES!”
Immediately the tickling stopped and Dark retracted his hands.
“Good.” He planted a kiss on Will’s forehead and stood back, reaching out a hand to help Will up.
“Can yohou at least do that again later?” Will asked and accepted Dark’s hand up.
“The tickling?”
“No!” Wil went a bit red in the face at that. “The massage!”
Dark laughed. “Sure.” With that the two left the room, ready for the rest of their day.
