Summary: Max and Bradley are having a horror movie marathon, and it starts a little game between them, which eventually turns into a much different, more one sided game
*cl-click... whiiiirrrr*
Max popped the tape into the player, and scooted back, sitting against the couch on the floor, while Bradley sat on the couch with his legs draped over his shoulders. He rested his chin on his head and fixed his eyes on the screen.
Everybody knew Max loved horror movies, but most people didn't know Bradley was much the same, on one condition.
"Does the-"
"No, I talked to Bobby, no animals die on screen in this one, just a pet bird that's already found in its cage, but they have a funeral for it."
Satisfied, Bradley rested his chin back down on Max's head as the movie started. He didn't like animal death scenes, but he was perfectly fine with people.
About half way in, he broke the silence between them. "If I got sucked into an alternate ghostly plane, would you come in after me?"
"Absolutely." Max's answer was immediate. He leaned his head back to look up at his boyfriend. "If I told you a man with knives for fingers was terrorizing my dreams, would you fall asleep and fight him for me?"
"Absolutely not," Bradley answered, earning a snort from Max, "The dream world was his world, and he had more power there, are you crazy? He'd obviously win. That's not even how it worked in the movie, they pulled him out of the dream and killed him in the real world."
"Okay well would you kill him in the lore accurate way?"
"Realistically, no I'd send Tank to do that, but for the purpose of this game, I'll say yes." He responded, his tail thumping against the couch, causing Max to start wagging his as well.
"My hero." Max mumbled sarcastically, looking back at the TV to finish the movie.
Sometime during the movie, Bradley started to twirl Max's ear around his finger and just mess with it, oblivious to the blush that had spread across his partner's face, or the way he tensed up and grinned nervously.
"Maximus, if I were a skeleton in your attic, would you help me rebuild my body to become alive again?"
Max normally would have rolled his eyes at the name 'Maximus' but he was a little too focused on the ticklish feeling in his ear. He opened his mouth to reply, but ended up pushing Bradley's hand away with a giggly, "Quihit-"
Now this caught the fraternity leader's attention. Any chance he got to mess with Max, he took. "Oh? Ticklish, Goof?" He practically purred, tightening his legs over Max's shoulders to keep him in place.
Max's cheeks reddened. He didn't have an issue with being tickled.. It was his laugh he was self conscious about, since he inherited it from his father. Ever since he could remember, he'd practiced his laugh to make it sound normal, and not... Goofy.
"Bradley wait, my laugh-"
"I know, I've heard you before."
And with that as his warning, Bradley started to play with both ears, gently rubbing them between his fingers, while Max just giggled and tried to shake his head.
"Nohohoho, Brahad- Nohot my ehehears-" He tried to duck his head but that didn't do much, since Bradley just followed. His ears weren't necessarily 'bad,' but more of a 'sweet spot,' in the way they always got him giggling, blushing, and fumbling like he didn't know how to react.
"Oh not your ears? Would you prefer I move down here then?" He teased, releasing Max's ears and slipping his hands down under his arms. Max arched his back and squeezed his arms down against his sides, his tail going wild slapping the floor.
"Brahahahadley nohohoho!"
"Max, I can't hear the movie, calm down~ Why are you laughing so much, it's not a comedy~" He teased.
He released Max from his legs and got down on the floor with him, briefly wrestling with him to get him down, delighting in the way he giggled in anticipation.
"Brahadley my laugh, ihit's-"
"Shut up about your silly little laugh, I like it~ In fact, I want to hear the original, unpracticed version."
Bradley latched his hands onto Max's sides, his fingers wiggling into his sides while his thumbs dug into his belly.
Max tossed his head back and started to kick his feet against the floor, trying to shove at Bradley's chest, his laughter kicking up and becoming more boyish.
Finally, playful hands found his knees and squeezed.
"Nohoho! Hahahahahahyuck-" He slapped his hands over his mouth, his face going red. The only noise that came from him was his tail continuing to thump against the wooden floor.
Bradley stopped and laughed so hard, he had to lean down, pressing his head into Max's shoulders.
Max huffed, slightly amused by Bradley's reaction. "At least one of us enjoys it."
Bradley sat up, calming down, yet his grin stayed. "Would you relax? It's not as bad as you think. I can see why Roxanne liked it when you guys met."
The younger of the two groaned and covered his face. "It sounds so silly though."
Bradley grabbed his wrists and pulled them back to uncover his face. "That's what makes it so great, you goof."
