Happy Arisu, Happy life!
It was a beautiful summer night, Arisu was chilling in his shorts and a hoodie, some cheesy graphic tee underneath that with a goofy summer saying on it like 'stay cool' with an ice pop on it thats wearing sunglasses. Anyway, He was doing what he does best, completing puzzles on his phone, ignoring his older brother and father. They tried speaking to him but nothing worked. They eventually got bored of talking to a brick wall and stopped bothering him. That's when he got hit with the tiniest pebble he'd ever seen. The boy gently turned his head to the side in the direction the pebble hit him to see his two best friend's poking their heads out from his balcony outside. They made goofy faces at him as Arisu's eyes widened and he tried not to laugh. He cautiously looked back over at his father and brother before looking to the pair who had poked their heads up at him again now silently telling him to follow them and meet them outside. Arisu smiled big time now and told his relatives that he was going out for a bit. They didn't bother to make a fuss as Arisu put on his sandles and left the house without any other explanation. This happened too often now for anyone to question anything anymore.
"Come on!" Karube yelled as the three of them ran through the empty streets of Tokyo. Giggling together as they tried to keep up with Karube. If this was a race Arisu would be in second while Chota is third, but not by much. Eventually Karube slowed down now standing in front of this ice cream parlor. With how quickly he stopped Arisu almost ran into him, and Chota almost ran into Arisu. The pair giggled at this as Karube nodded
"Ice cream on me, I just got paid, come on. Butt's inside" he gently pushed his friends inside. It was fairly empty all things considered but they didn't mind. Chota ordered first getting pistachio ice cream in a cup. Arisu went second getting strawberry ice cream in a cone. And Karube went last getting salted caramel ice cream in a cone. He payed for everyone and thanked the lady who was working there before heading out back onto Tokyo's streets.
The bleach blonde smirked making fun of Chota playfully for his ice cream choice. It was the same thing every time they got ice cream but Arisu loved it anyway. The two bickered playfully as they walked together. Chota defending pistachio flavor with his life, even trying to shove some in Karube's face. The older pushed his face away and grumbled. Nights like these are what made Arisu feel the most at peace. "At least I didn't get a child flavor like strawberry" oh no he didn't! It was now Arisu's turn to defend his favorite flavor.
"I'll have you know that strawberry is popular with all age groups! Not just old people who get pistachio!" He teased as Karube soon broke up the bickering "We've made it" he said. It was this patch of grass next to a tunnel that connected to the beach. Graffitied walls and the smell of the ocean salted air never failed to bring them back to reality. They sat in the grass eating their ice cream and just enjoying this peaceful night. Arisu took his sandles off to get more comfortable. The others followed his lead soon enough. They talked about everything and nothing all at once. Finishing their ice cream and listening to the waves gently crash onto the shore up ahead. Soon enough Karube and Chota gave each other a look before looking back at Arisu. There was a significant energy shift and the other certainly felt it too.
"Arisu..." Chota said softly as Arisu hummed, opening one eye to look at him. "Are you okay...? Have you been okay recently...?" His concern for one of his best friends evident in his voice. Karube stepped in. "No bullshit...tell us straight up how you feel okay?" Arisu sat up and sighed. He prepared himself to open up to the only people he really trusts. It was never easy, but Arisu loves his friends so much. "I'm alright...you two make it better...its just my brother made a comment today that pissed me off and you know how my dad is...I just don't belong there, I feel so out of place in that house..." They both listened intently as Chota spoke up again.
"What did he say?" The softer of the two continued as Karube stepped in "want me to punch him in the face again?" This made Chota gently smack his arm as Arisu stiffled a laugh under his breath. He took a deep breath before explaining everything. "He just said he liked me better before mom passed...that I was more tolerable when she was still here..." Chota's eyes turned dark with anger as Karube clenched his fist.
Taking a deep breath, Chota placed a gentle hand on his knee. Comforting him before speaking softly "They don't deserve you Arisu. I'm sorry you have to deal with them but just know that you will always have us. If you're ever uncomfortable over there you know where we both live, our houses are your homes too!" Arisu hummed softly "Thank you, Chota..." he nodded as Karube stepped in "Best bet is Chotas house, you know how mine gets sometimes, but you're still always welcomed over there and at my bar" he continued "and one day, we won't have to worry about any of this, we'll move far away and all live together at my farm house with my own bar, drinking beer every night and having fun!" The other two smiled and nodded. Karube was right. Their lives were only just beginning. One day, they'll get out of Japan and build something more, a safe haven for the three of them. It filled his heart with joy and hope for what's to come.
"Oi, Arisu! You're spacing out again!" Karube smirked as he tried to snap the younger one out of it. The younger one in question blinked as he came back to reality. "Huh?" Chota laughed gently at this. "You're in your own little world over there" Chota said, matter-of-factly. Arisu nodded at this "I was just thinking about the future" they both smiled at this before Karube interjected, teasingly; "We love that, but we gotta ground you, you're with your best friend's and we want to talk to you! So get your head out of the clouds before we make you" Arisu smirked gently at his joke before making one of his own.
"Not my fault you don't have the brain space to daydream Karube. All that's up there is beer and girls, " he teased as Karube's smirk grew. "That's it! Someone needs to bring you down a peg, both in ego and out of the clouds!" Karube soon wrestled the boy to the grass as Arisu tried to fight back. It didn't work well. He was just too strong for him. Chota gasped slightly and laughed at their playfulness. Karube, now straddling his hips, asked Chota to hold down his wrists. The shortest one smirked as Arisu protested.
"Do not help him!"
"I'm sorry, Arisu, but you had it coming. This is payback for insulting my favorite ice cream flavor"
"And my intelligence! Hello!" Karube added jokingly.
"Yeah, that too." Chota laughed a little as he put Arisus hands around the back of his knees, keeping him in place and his hands free. The middle one kept protesting as he tried to escape, but nothing happened. "Nononono-no! Chota! Karube! Let me go!" They all smiled. "No can do, buddy!" Chota nodded as Karube spoke. "Exactly, you need this, both for your pride and because it's as they say 'Happy Arisu, Happy life"
Arisu blinked "You mean 'Happy Wife, Happy Life?'" Arisu questioned as Karube smirked, "Exactly. I like my version better. " Chota giggled gently at this as Arisu huffed "Yeah well I think it's-" his words interrupted by a surprised squeak as he felt a quick squeeze to his ribs.
"Karube..." he warned through a smile as the others smirked "Whats the matter? I thought you grew out of being so ticklish, hmm? Isn't that what you always say" Karube teased as Chota joined in "Exactly! You always tell us, I'm not ticklish while kicking out with laughter, you can't fool us Arisu, you're the most ticklish one here" the middle one was about to protest again before he felt Chota gently wiggle his fingers into his underarms quickly. They were teasing him, seeing if he'd break. Almost like a silent competition between the two of who can get him to laugh first. Poor Arisu was fighting back his own nervous system as little bolts of ticklish electricity shot through him every time one of them moved. The pair was having a blast at this as Karube gently dragged his nails down his ribs from above his stay cool shirt. His hoodie had been tossed aside way before this happened which at this point Arisu regrets taking it off, it would've gave him an extra layer of protection against them.
Chota smirked as he did the same slowly moving down his arms till he reached his underarms which caused Arisu to groan "This is torture!!" They both knew that he didn't like the slow, teasing, types of tickles but he left them no choice. Karube spoke "We know, but this can all be over if you just give us a little laugh~" Chota nodded "mhm! You can do it! Come on Arisu~ just a little giggle" their teasing did not help as they both moved slowly over his tickle spots. The puzzle master was so close to breaking. He finally lost it when Chota got back to his underarms and Karube hit a particularly sensitive rib at the same time. He let out a small laugh and shook his head no. "Okay, I laughed! It's done now, right?!" He asked as the other two nodded.
"Correct" Chota said
"The slow and steady tickles are over that is" Karube added
"Wait wha-" the man let out another scream as they sped up the pace. Karube tickled his ribs from underneath his shirt, all ten digits to either side, as Chota did the same to his underarms.
"WAhahaAit! NO! HAHAha!" He could barely form a sentence, and they just got started. Chota smirked, being the first to tease "Tickle Tickle Tickle~" Arisu laughed louder at this, and his ears turned slightly red, curse his best friends for knowing him so well! Karube soon joined in "For someone who keeps claiming to be not ticklish you're laughing an awful lot" which Chota nodded "mhm" Arisu gently kicked out onto the grass behind them as he kept laughing.
"You triHiHIHIhicked mEE! HAHA StoHop Ihit!" He kept trying to twist and turn, but nothing worked. It was all out of instinct anyway, his friends and him knew better that he didn't actually want them to stop yet. Chota moved to tickle his neck while Karube switched to gentle, yet firm, squeezes on his hips, which caused Arisu to snort accidentally, which they both cooed at.
"IHIHits nOhot CUHUhute!" He protested through his laughter as Karube smirked "I beg to differ buddy, just wait until I tell your future girlfriend about it one day, I'm sure she'll love to know this" Chota giggled at Karube's comment as Arisu groaned through his laughter. The volume of his giggles increased as Chota moved back to his underarms while Karube stayed at his hips. "No growling, mister! It's impolite, " he joked as Arisu kicked some more.
"CHOhoHoTA! HAHAH-" Karube smirked at his yell towards Chota "Aye! Be lucky I'm not giving those feet attention, then you'd really be in trouble!" He gently and quickly squeezed Arisu's thigh to tease him before going back to his hips, which made him squeak.
"KAHaharubEhEHE! CHOhotAhaA! PleHEheHEASe!" He couldn't take much more. The pair looked at each other with a smile and nodded. "Grand finale," they both said, lifting Arisu's shirt up a little more as the boy caught his breath slowly. His eyes widened. "Wait...waitwaitwait! Not that! Not there! Guys, come on! We can talk about this!"
"...3..." Chota smiled
"...2..." Karube smirked
"Guys! Wait!-" Arisu added
"...1...!" They both shouted at the same time as they teamed up both pairs of hands now scribbling at Arisu's stomach. All 20 digits making sure that no spot on there is left untickled. Arisu screamed in laughter, moving his head from side to side.
"NAHAHA! KAHARUHUBEHE! CHOHOHOTAHAHA! IHIHIT TIHICKLES!" He let himself laugh. His feet still kicked out strongly behind him onto the grass. The two smiled at this and kept going.
"He finally admits it!" Karube smirked "I'm glad it Tickle Tickle Tickles you Arisu~" he teased as Chota joined in "Mhm! We've got you now!" This only made him laugh more.
"PLEHEHEASE!" He begged before Chota removed his fingers, letting Karube have his final moment.
"KARUBE DONT YOU DAHARE!" He yelled through his laughter before Karube inhaled, blowing one final raspberry to his stomach, right on top of his belly button. Arisu threw his head back in laughter.
"AHAHAHAHAHA-" the giggles continued for a minute longer before the pair got off of him, letting Arisu catch his breath. Little giggles pooling out of his mouth every now and again as he could still feel the tickly after effects.
"Are you okay, Arisu...?" Chota asked nervously. Karube added to his question. "We didn't go too far, did we?" Arisu smiled and sat up gently.
"I'm all good, thanks, guys..." he beamed as the other two smiled.
"Of course!" Chota said happily, Karube just smiled and nodded before Arisu's gentle smile turned into an evil smirk.
"That doesn't mean I won't get you both back eventually for this! In case you've forgotten, I know all your weak spots, too!" His smirk grew as he turned his head towards Chota, who put his hands up in surrender.
"It'll be hard to get us both back at once" Karube chimed in as Arisu's smirk grew as he looked at him.
"Oh, I know, it doesn't have to be all at once... just one day when you least expect it!" He continued "There's no puzzle I can't solve and no tickle spot on you two that I can't exploit"
Chota giggled nervously and scooted away from him as Karube took it as a challenge.
"Good luck, kid" he smirked as Arisu smirked back
"Thanks, but I don't think I'll need it" The trio shared another laugh. Today was a good day. But they should really watch their backs carefully moving forward.
