TickleTober Day 24 - Joke
~This is the second half of a request for day 5. Not sure if the Anon will see it, but I still had fun writing this! Hobieâs little quips towards Peter were so casual and fun; I think they deserve more little moments together. If youâre seeing this, thank you for requesting, and I hope you Enjoy!~
Lee: Hobie Brown
Ler: Peter B. Parker (& special guest appearance by Mayday)
Summary: Peter is in an extra corny mood, telling all of his best (worst) dad jokes. Hobie refuses to acknowledge anything funny about them, staying stubborn. With a little help from his daughter, Peter quickly finds a method to get him to appreciate the jokes.
Warnings: none! This is a tickle fic, so if you donât like that, scroll away!!
âOkay, okay, how about this one?â Peter chuckled, bouncing his little girl in his arms. Hobie was hanging out with the two that morning, and the father had decided to unload his favorite dad jokes to pass the time.
âI just read a few facts about frogs,â Peter grinned, giving the line a few seconds to sink in. âThey were ribbeting!â
Hobie giggled through a groan, running both hands down his face. That was, like, the thirtieth dad joke heâd told within the past ten minutes. One man can only take so many horrible puns and cringe-worthy jokes.
âIâll pay you ta stop.â The punk peeked out from behind his hand, seeing the goofy grin on his friendâs face. Peter was a great guy, especially when Hobie just wanted someone easy to talk to and chill with. Plus, Mayday was adorable.
The jokes, however, were killing him.
âTheyâre good! Mayday likes my jokes, donâtcha, sweetheart?â Peter held his daughter out in front of him, making her giggle and kick in the air. âSee? She gets it.â
âSheâs yer kid. Sheâs gotta geâ it.â He couldnât help but roll his eyes at Peterâs reasoning. He doubted the toddler understood the concept of jokes just yet, but it was still a cute thought. âLilâ bit proâlly donât even get the point oâ jokes.â
âHey! Every Parker gets jokes!â Peter huffed indignantly, hugging his daughter to his chest. The girl squealed as she was slightly squished, wriggling in her fatherâs arms. âWatch this. Mayday, what do you get when you cross a bee with a sheep?â
The girl stuck her tongue out at him, studying his face. She was trying to figure out what he was saying, paying about as much attention as a child of her age could.
âA baa-humbug!â Peter made an obnoxious baa-ing sheep noise at the beginning of his punchline, making the toddler squeal in amusement. It was a good trick, Hobie had to admit.
âAw, câmon! She jusâ liked the sheep noise!â Hobie rolled his eyes once again, tossing his hands up in protest. The joke was so corny; it made it hard to laugh when all he wanted to do was cringe.
âYou are such a downer!â Shaking his head, Peter hoisted Mayday onto his shoulders. He glared at Hobie, nudging Maydayâs little arm until she copied him. It was â unfortunately for Hobieâs resolve â utterly adorable.
âCram it, olâ man.â The punk turned away, crossing his arms as he hid a fond smile. He adored Mayday more than heâd like to admit, and Peter was a funny, sweet guy to hang around. Even if he did hurt Hobieâs brain sometimes.
âIâm not that old yet!â Peterâs shoulders jumped up with his protest, his daughter snickering at the feeling. âOh, hush, you little scamp.â He scratched a finger down one of her tiny soles, making the girl kick and squeal. She tugged at his hair to keep her balance, which he was used to by then.
ActuallyâŠhe mightâve found a way to show Hobie just how funny his jokes really were.
While the teen's back was still turned, Peter fired a shot of web at him. Hobie's spider sense buzzed a second to late, not really counting Peter's silliness as a threat. The thread hit him square in the back, yanking him towards Peter.
Hobieâs back hit the manâs chest, two strong arms quickly wrapping around him. It was a little awkward with the height difference, but Peter made it work. While Hobie may have had height on his side, Peter was stronger.
âLemme go, ya geezer!â Hobie twisted and thrashed in Peterâs grip, but he couldnât fight with his full strength; Mayday was still on the manâs shoulders. He didnât want to risk accidentally hurting her.
âLetâs try this again, shall we?â Peterâs smug voice grated against Hobieâs nerves as he tried to pry the manâs hands off. "Why was the stadium so hot after the game?"
âI donâ care!â Hobie stomped his feet, trying to drown Peter out. Unfortunately, the man could just say it right in his ear.
âNope! Because all the fans left! Eh, eh?â
Instead of waiting for Hobieâs inevitably underwhelmed reaction, Peter dug his fingerâs into the punkâs hips, making him snort into a burst of loud, scraggly laughter.
âGAHAHAHAHA! FUHUHU- *snort* PEHETER!â Hobie tried to fold in on himself, but he was stopped by the manâs strong grip around his chest. He was trapped in a tickly hug with no viable ways out.
âLanguage! You know better than to curse around Mayday.â Peter shook his head before drilling his thumbs into the little pocket above Hobieâs hip bones, pulling a shriek from the lanky teen.
Mayday seemed thoroughly amused by all the chaos, climbing over her dadâs shoulders to reach for Hobie. She nuzzled her tiny head against his neck, her wily curls softly tickling behind his ears and across his neck. Hobie tried scrunching his shoulders up, only causing the girl to giggle and press closer.
âGEHEHEâ YOUHUHUR DEHEHEVIL- *snort* OHOFFA MEHEHEHE!â Hobie tossed his head around as carefully as he could, trying his hardest not to hit the girl on his shoulder. It was incredibly unfair, using her as a shield like he was. The teen had to admit that he was a bit impressed.
âDevil?! My little girl is an angel, thank you very much!â Gasping dramatically, Peter spidered his fingers up to Hobieâs sides and ribs. While the boisterous laughter was quite nice, he didnât want to exhaust the teen entirely.
âI-Ihi dohohonâ wahanna ahaccidentahally huhurt heher!â Hobieâs cackles died down to pitchy giggles and laughs, his voice about an octave higher than normal. He made a good point, but the man still needed Mayday to keep him from fighting.
âYou wouldnât hurt her. Iâd trust you with Maydayâs life if I had to. Itâll be fine.â Peter disguised a tease under the compliment, clawing his way up and down the punkâs sides. He really was enjoying himself; seeing the kids laugh was always fun.
âY-youhuhu- GYAH! Youhu neehehehek!â Hobie nearly cursed, but Peter censored him with a quick scribble to the navel.
âBeing mean in British is still being mean, Hobie.â Peter chastised him, tutting as Mayday went right back to snuggling her fuzzy head against his neck. Now that his reactions were calmer, the little squeaks and voice cracks came through perfectly.
âB-Brihitish ahainât a lahahanguage!â Hobieâs shoulders scrunched once again, giving Mayday a little boost. She giggled from the movement, patting her small hands against his rosy cheek. It was adorable, making it near impossible for him to be irritated at her.
âSo nitpicky. First, you criticize my jokes, and now youâre correcting me? For shame, Hobart, for shame.â The dad gave Hobieâs hips one more good squeeze, mainly trying to distract him from the fact that heâd just said the boyâs full first name. That usually got some not-so-nice words in response; he wasnât looking to teach Mayday anything else that MJ would scold him about.
While the punk usually couldâve held on for much longer, his cheeks were getting sore, and he could feel Mayday slip a little with every big laugh and squeak. He knew Peter would never let her even come close to hitting the ground if she fell, but the teen was anxious nonetheless. He knew what he had to doâŠ
Enjoy the ego boost, Parker.
âF-fihihihine! Youhuhuhur johohokes âre fuhuhunny!â Hobie finally conceded, trying to bring his squirming down to a minimum. Heâd get his revenge later, no doubt, but peace was his only option for the time being.
âThere ya go, kid!â He gave Hobie one last squeeze of a hug before pulling back, taking his daughter with him. Mayday whined at the break in contact, reaching out for the giggly punk.
âJ-jehehez, ruthless olâ bumâŠâ Hobie muttered the words under his breath, meaning absolutely nothing by them. It wasnât uncommon for him to exchange loving insults with his older friends and mentors.
The teen recovered pretty quickly, taking the squirmy toddler into his arms when he was able to breathe normally. She immediately cuddled into his chest, demanding snuggly affection that no being with a heart could deny.
âYer lucky sheâs âere, or youâd be in tears.â Hobie calmly laid the threat out, slowly swaying to make Mayday smile. He loved the little rascalâs grin, especially the cute little gap between her front two teeth. While he didnât seem the type, he really did love kids.
âUh-huh, sure,â Peter huffed, knowing all too well how true that statement was. One thing that was always interesting about Hobie: he was willing to dish out whatever he received, and vice versa. It made for playfully fun slow days at the Society.
âItâs almost her nap time. Wanna help me put her down, maybe grab something from the cafeteria? Iâll pay,â Peter offered, gently nudging the boyâs shoulder with his own.
Hobie was quite peckish after all the goofy activity, and making Peter pay for things would be a step in the vengeance directionâŠ
âAlâight, yeah. Letâs go, gramps.â Cradling the sleepy little girl against his chest, Hobie started for the lobby. Peter rolled his eyes before catching up, reminding himself to steal some of the teenâs fries in retaliation.
Maybe he could even have busted out some of his worst burger puns, though they mightâve been too cheesy.
