Recess
“Tag! You’re it!” Hazel giggled as she lightly tapped Jasmine on the shoulder.
“Ohoho, you better run!” Quickly the chase turned around, as the pair ran around the playground during recess.
Not too far away, Dev was sitting on a bench watching. He hadn’t really felt like playing today.
It was one of those days where he just woke up on the wrong side of the bed, feeling tired and unmotivated. A little sad.
Eventually Hazel realized Dev wasn’t occupying himself at all. They had thought he was just going to read or play on his IPad or something and that’s why he didn’t want to play with them, but he wasn’t. He was just sitting there, staring off into the distance.
As soon as she realized, she stopped running and pointed it out to the others. They all looked at each other, slightly confused, then walked over to him.
Peri was disguised as a pair of headphones around Dev’s neck. He tried to talk to him, but made no progress, as he just seemed to zone out.
“Hey dev!” The cheerful voice of Winn exclaimed as they walked over.
Dev startled out of his trance. “Huh-? Oh, hey guys.”
“What’s got you all in the dumps?” Jasmine asked, seeming genuinely concerned.
“Nothing. That’s the problem. There is literally nothing wrong.”
Peri spoke up from his position. “Usually I would help, but we’re in public so I can’t come out of disguise.”
At the comment, Hazel perked up, an idea striking her. “Well if you can’t, we’ll just have to do it in your place~” her voice gained a teasing edge, causing Dev to feel nervous. The other two didn’t realize at first, but with a glance from Hazel and a slight nod, they got the hint.
“Uhm- guys- what’re you doing?”
“Tickle attack!” Hazel shouted, pouncing on the ginger and starting to spider on his sides. Winn and Jasmine quickly moved over and held one of his hands each, pulling them above his head, and used their free hand to dig at his underarms.
“Guhuhuys, nohohoho!”
Jasmine just giggled. “Oh, shut up, you know you like it.”
Dev blushed furiously and was unable to cover his face due to his hands being pinned.
“Uhuh- nohoho ihi dohohont! Shuhut uhup!” He flusteredly tried to deny it, stuttering.
Winn smirked. “Don’t lie, Dev~ we all know you do!”
Dev just whined through his giggles, scrambling on the ground. He tried to pull his arms down out of reflex, but no matter how hard he tugged they didn’t budge.
“Ohoho myhyhy gohohod, stohohop tahahahalking!”
“No way! Teasing’s part of the fun~ and doesn’t it make the tickles so much better~” Hazel drawled.
While most of the kids either didn’t notice or didn’t care, continuing to play, a few gathered around to watch.
“Awwww he’s so cute!”
“I didn’t know Dev was ticklish!”
“This is the greatest thing ever!”
“Uhuhughuhuh nohohohoho! Stohohohop ihihit!”
“Not until you feel better!” Winn announced, smiling brightly.
“Peheheople ahahare wahahahatching!” Even though Dev admittedly enjoyed being tickled, he was severely embarrassed knowing they had an audience.
“Hey, there’s no need to be embarrassed! No one’s going to judge you!” Jasmine comforted gently. The audience spoke up in agreement.
“Yeah, I’m super ticklish too!”
“I feel like if anyone was gonna judge, it’d be you, Dev. Good to know that outta the question.”
“Yeah it’s super normal! Pretty much everyone’s at least a little ticklish!”
Hazel decided to be a little mean, smirking. “Oh, he’s not just embarrassed by the fact that he’s ticklish, he’s embarrassed because he likes it.”
“Hahahahahazel! shuhuhut uhuhup!” Dev panicked internally at the reveal. But he was once again comforted by the replies of the group that had gathered.
“That’s not embarrassing! That’s super cute!”
“If I’m being honest, I do too haha”
“Man I’m jealous! I can’t stand being tickled. It’s like my worst nightmare.”
It was nice to know that he wasn’t being judged, but dev was still flustered to all hell.
“Plehehease guhuhuys! Ihi feheheel behehetter, okahahahay?!”
“I’m not sure I believe you..” Winn said, raising an eyebrow.
“Yeah, maybe we should do a biiiiig finish just to be sure!” Hazel chirped, before taking a deep breath.
“Whahahait hahahazel nohohoHOHO!” His protest ended in a squeal as Hazel blew on his tummy. At the same time, the two up by his arms dug in slightly harder, causing him to try and fold over himself, stuck still by the hold on his hands.
“Guhuhuys plehehehehease! Ihihi’m behehehetteher ihihi prohohomihihise!” They all finally released him, smiling at his flushed face.
Finally able to live freely, he covered his face. “You guys are mean.”
“You know you love us.” Hazel retorted, nudging him gently with her elbow.
His nerves still hyped up, he squeaked at the contact, pushing her away. “Noho!”
Hazel giggled. “Ohoops, sorry, didn’t mean to get ya there.”
Just then the kids were all called inside to continue class, and Dev was ready to take on the day, with a smile.
