Title: ticklish twin
Beth walked into the garage, instantly pausing when she saw Space Beth strapped to a workbench, looking less like a fierce warrior and more like an embarrassed victim of some weird experiment. The glowing restraints held her in place, and the look of frustration on her face made it clear this wasn’t how she had planned her day.
Beth raised an eyebrow, crossing her arms. “Well, well. What do we have here? Looks like someone got caught in Rick’s latest mess.”
Space Beth gritted her teeth. “I’m testing new tech, alright? This was supposed to be a weapons test, but the system locked me in before I could cancel it.”
Beth smirked, stepping closer. “Uh-huh, sounds like you were a little too cocky.” She ran her eyes over Space Beth, enjoying the sight of her all tied up. “You sure you need help, or are you just too proud to admit it?”
Space Beth glared, tugging at the restraints, clearly not amused. “I don’t need your sarcastic commentary, Beth. Just get me out of this already.”
Beth slowly circled around her, her eyes glinting mischievously. “Hmm, I could help… but it’s kind of funny seeing you so helpless. Makes you look—what’s the word?—vulnerable.”
Space Beth rolled her eyes. “Not the time, Beth.”
“Oh, it’s totally the time,” Beth replied with a grin. Without warning, she leaned in and placed a soft kiss on the side of Space Beth’s neck.
Space Beth flinched, her body going stiff. Then a soft, unintentional giggle escaped her lips.
Beth paused, raising an eyebrow. “Wait a minute… You’re ticklish!”
“No, I’m not,” Space Beth denied quickly, turning her head to glare at Beth.
Beth’s grin widened. “Oh, but you are!” She leaned in again, pressing her lips to the same spot on Space Beth’s neck.
“Beth!” Space Beth hissed, her breath catching as another unexpected giggle burst out of her. “Quit it!”
Beth pulled back just enough to look her in the eyes, enjoying the mix of annoyance and embarrassment. “Oh, this is too good. You, the tough, space-faring badass, are ticklish.”
Space Beth’s face flushed a deep red. “I’m not ticklish. You’re imagining things.”
Beth’s eyes sparkled with mischievous delight. “Oh, I’m not imagining anything. I think I’ll just have to test a few more spots to be sure.”
Before Space Beth could react, Beth’s fingers gently grazed along the curve of her ribs.
“No, wait—!” Space Beth gasped, her body jerking involuntarily. The laughter started bubbling up, despite her efforts to hold it in. “Stop!”
Beth’s grin widened even further. “Oh, you’re really ticklish there, huh?” She pressed her fingers harder against the sensitive spot, digging in just enough to make Space Beth squeal with laughter.
“Beth, please!” Space Beth shouted between laughs, trying to twist away from her touch.
“Tell me where else you’re ticklish,” Beth teased, her fingers never stopping their relentless assault. “Is it just here? Or are there more secrets I should know about?”
Space Beth’s face was turning pink with frustration and laughter. “I’m not telling you anything! Just—hahaha—stop tickling me!”
Beth wasn’t listening, of course. Her fingers slid lower, moving along Space Beth’s torso, and the reaction was instant.
“No!” Space Beth nearly shouted, squirming as she twisted helplessly against the restraints. “Please—don’t—hah!—don’t you dare!”
Beth’s fingers found a new spot—right along the side of Space Beth’s torso—and she watched in satisfaction as Space Beth’s body jerked, the laughter escaping her in waves.
“Oh, I think I’ll dare,” Beth teased, a wicked grin spreading across her face. She dug in deeper, her fingers dancing over the soft, sensitive skin of Space Beth’s sides.
“Beth, stop!” Space Beth pleaded, her voice a mix of genuine desperation and uncontrollable giggles. Her body was shaking from trying to get away from the ticklish sensation. “I can’t—hahaha!—I can’t take it!”
Beth leaned in closer, her voice lowering as she continued her relentless tickling. “You sure you don’t want to tell me? Where else are you ticklish, Space Beth?”
Space Beth squeezed her eyes shut, tears of laughter forming at the corners of her eyes as she gasped for air. “I—I’m not—hah!—telling you! You’re evil!”
“Oh, I’m evil? You’re the one who got all tough and smug about being the superior Beth,” Beth said with a playful wink. “Looks like you’re the one who can’t handle a little tickling. Maybe you’re not as tough as you think!”
Space Beth just shook her head, a defeated laugh escaping her lips as she went limp in the restraints. “You’re impossible.”
Beth finally stopped, leaning back and giving Space Beth a moment to catch her breath. “Yeah, but you love it. Admit it.”
Space Beth glared at her, still panting. “The second I get out of this, I’m going to make you regret this.”
Beth shrugged casually. “Sure, sure. But for now, I’m the one in control. And this is way too much fun.”
Space Beth rolled her eyes, letting out a long, exasperated sigh. “You’re impossible.”
Beth smiled, finally giving her a break. “Yeah, but you’ll get used to it.”
