TK waltzed into their shared bedroom to find his husband still entirely under the covers. He sighed, having told Carlos he needed to get up over an hour and a half a go. TK walked over to the bed, making no effort to make his steps quiet, and sat down on their bed. He reached over and gently shook his shoulder like he did earlier. Carlos grunted, clearly annoyed at being woken up again.
"Babyyy, you've gotta wake up, I told you almost two hours ago now, stop sleeping!" He thought about using the empty threat of putting Lou on him to get him up but decided against it.
"Mmmmm, Carlos isn't sleeping, he's dead, please leave flowers and condolences with his husband and get out.." Carlos mumbled in response, earning an amused huff from TK.
"Oh, is that what's happening? Well, then I guess the tickle ghost will have no effect on you~" TK flung himself under the covers, latching himself onto his husband's back before his tired brain could catch up with what he said. Once TK's fingers spidered up his sides and ribs Carlos was suddenly very awake.
"Ya'know, you're quite warm for a dead person~"
"Tyhyleheheher!"
"Nope, Tyler tried to wake you up nicely, you have the tickle ghost now~! booooooo~!" TK dug his fingers into that spot just below his armpits to hear him squawk.
"OHOHOHOHOKAY OHHOHOHOKAY I'M AWAHAHAHAHAKE! I'M AWAHAHAHAKE I PROHOHOHOHOMIHIHIHIS!"
In their line of work they often end up working on their birthday so it's hardy ever a big deal. Carlos had been planning a birthday surprise for his husband but he was starting to catch on.
"You're keeping something from me." Tk mumbled from his spot on top of his husband.
"I don't know what you’re talking about Babe." Carlos pressed a kiss to Tk's forehead, hoping he'd drop it.
"Come on Babe, you have to tell me. You may be the cop but I will interrogate it out of you." Tk looked a bit like an angry cat which caused an amused chuckle to escape Carlos. Tk made sure all his weight was on the ravenette and his legs were tangled in his. He slipped his hand up his loose grey t-shirt, curling his fingers just under his ribs.
"Tk..." Carlos gasped, attempting to sound warning but the waver in his voice made it impossible.
"Tell me what you've been hiding from me~ the truth this time!" Tk said, referring to when Carlos would throw our little excuses to through him off. When Carlos pressed his lips into a thin line Tk's hand jumped up to vibrate into his ribs, the other hand pinching his hip, adding little ticklish kisses to his neck for good measure. Tk was the only person that could get Carlos this gone in seconds, his hands not knowing which thing to stop.
"Tell me~"
"I CAHAHAHAN'T!"
"And why is that my love~?"
"IHIHIHIHIT'S FOHOHOR YOHOHOUR BIHIHIHIRTHDAHAHAY!" Tk stopped rather suddenly, looking at Carlos who was catching his breath and still slightly twitching.
"You planned something for my birthday?"
"Yeah, I'm not telling what though, not ruining the surprise entirely"
