Happy holidays, @gingerlee-holds here's your @squealing-santa gift from me!
Despite double checking the prompt, I confused myself on who was meant to be the Lee at some point so I added another quick one with lee!Vega aswell, haha..^^;
Start Your Enjins (Gachiakuta) âSquealing Santaâ
HEY! :D It is I, Squiggily, bringing you a present, @stopiteatpopcorn! Muahahhahaha! >:D I am your Squealing Santa this year! I see you're a fan of Gachiakuta (great taste all around!) and wanted to make you a little sweet treat with our favorite dorks Rudo and Enjin! Forgive me if these two are a little OOC- it's admittedly been a second since I've had time to watch the show, but I hope you like it all the same! :D Merry Christmas!
Summary: Rudo makes a thoughtless comparison regarding Enjin's looks. To the man himself! What follows can only be described as pure chaos for the pale haired boy. (Word Count: 1.1k)
Enjin had that look on his face again. The kind that all but defined danger, the kind that sent shivers across Rudoâs skin and got his heartrate accelerating by the minute.
That kind of look Alto would sometimes get before he-
Oh God. Oh God.
The older man bent slightly at the waist, hands resting against his knees as his eyes locked onto Rudoâs widening ones. His expression remained, dangerous and unyielding. He spoke only one single word.
âRun.â
Rudo took off like a bolt of lightning, a screech ripping from his throat as he twisted to the door. He nearly knocked Zanta out of the way in his escape, taking the turn too hard and bruising something in the process. He didnât care- the pain could wait, he needed to go.
Behind him, he could hear Enjinâs cackles following closely. The older man was enjoying this- just the absolute delight that dripped from his words made it obvious. âWhatâs wrong Rudo? Scared Iâm gonna getcha?â He sounded so far now, but Rudo knew the second he turned around, the gap would be closed. He couldnât look back!
âŠ.He dared a peek.
Enjinâs face was a mere centimeters away.
âAHH!â He screamed so loud he threw himself off balance, going tumbling to the ground. He tried to roll, hoping heâd find footing. His high pitched attack seemed to give him just a few moments as Enjin stumbled, a hand on his ear and laughter getting wheezier.
 âN-No! No, get away!â He cried, backing up the best he could as the smiling devil closed in like a predator. âWait! Wait, Enjin please! Iâm not ready!â
âSorry- a little late for that I fear.â Enjin all but purred, grabbing Rudoâs leg and pulling him forward. The teen squealed and tried clawing at the ground. âYou knew exactly what you were doing back there. Donât start acting like none of that was on purpose.â
âI-Iâm sorry!â Enjin had him flipped on his back, capturing his wrists with one hand. Pinned and exposed, he saw his life flash before his eyes; all the things he wished heâd done, things he regretted saying and not saying. âIâm sorry, I'll take it back! I promise I will take it back!â
âSorryâs not gonna cut it, kid.â The blonde pinned his legs with one of his own, voice grim. âSorry doesnât carry much weight around these parts. Youâve wounded me pretty deep. Now you must pay.â
âIâm sorry! Iâm so-ohohhohhoohohhrry!â The teenâs pleas melted into desperate giggles when Enjin dug a single finger into his side, right below his ribcage. He twitched at the feeling, his arms pulling sharply at Enjinâs grip as he tried hiding his growing smile with his arm. âEehehheenjin, Iâm so sohohohohohorry!â
âSo desperate for me to forgive you, eh? Warms my cold dead heart.â Enjin laughed alongside him, bringing a second finger in. Then a third. Before long, he had all five fingers gently digging into his ribs, making his squirms increase and his giggle fits raise in volume. âShame thatâs not enough to save you. Now- who looks like a lizard monster?â
âEhehahahahhahaha! Buhuhut yoohohohu kihihinda dooh-Wahahahait, wahhahit, wahahait I lied! Iâm sohoho-EHEHEHHE!â Rudo all but screamed when Enjin squeezed his side, pressing his thumb in. âWHAHAIT EHEHENJIN LEHEHEMMEE THIHIHINK!â
âNah. Lizards donât have that kind of patience.â Enjin adjusted his pose so he could pin Rudo down with his legs, releasing his hands so he could grab both his ribs. The teen all but howled with laughter at that, arching like a bow as he grasped at Enjinâs wrists. âOr maybe they do- they got to hunt and whatnot. Say, am I a poisonous lizard or just one of those dumb ones? Come on- make your argument!â He snickered as he curled his fingers, spreading them out and leaving not a single spot untouched.
âI cahhahahanât! I cahahhanaât- I cahahhahahanât thihiihhink! Ehehehenji-EHEHEHIN!â Rudo kicked against the ground like a child having a tantrum, squirming about as his face flushed a bright cherry red. âEHEHEHENJIN! EHEHENJIN I CAHHAHANâT BREHAHHAHTHE!â
âWhoa there.â Enjin stopped immediately, hands still on his sides as he let Rudo gasp for air, a touch of concern coloring his smile. âYou good?â
âWhoohohoa..whohohoaa..whooooohohoho..â He nodded, covering his face with his gloved hands. Eventually, he felt himself start to think again, wondering just what to do. He could easily tell Enjin he was done, butâŠ
Making a decision, he peeked up at him through his fingers. âYouâre one of the duhuhmb ones.â He giggled, unable to keep a straight face. Enjinâs expression went from worried to outrage, jaw dropping and brows tilting like a cartoon villain. He was so expressive! âOne that wahahits to get eaten!â
âOh hell no- you mean that?â He grabbed Rudoâs sides again, tickling a little faster and nearly sending him to the galaxy. âThe dumb kind waiting to be eaten! I thought for sure youâd at least say I look like a Charmander, but nooooo!â
âThehehehen fihihihine! Yohohoohuâre chahahahrmahhahander! Eheheha, the lahahahazy one- EHEHEHEHEEE!â He all but wailed when Enjin tickled his armpits, shooting his hands out and pushing on his grinning face. âStahahhaap, stahhahaap, pleahahahse! I thihihink youâre coohohohol! I THIHIHINK YOOHOHUR COOL NOW STHAHAHP!â
âGehehahaha! Thatâs what I thought!â Enjin cackled as he sat back, finally climbing off the giggly teen and stretching his back with a low groan. âUgh, my back. Iâm getting old.â
âRehehal old!â Rudo called out, spasming backwards before Enjin could tickle him again. âEhehe, kidding! Iâm kihihidding..eh. Did I really hurt your feelings when I called you that?â He suddenly asked, looking up at the blonde as he dug for a cigarette. âA lizard, I mean.â
âPfft- please! A grown man like me, being hurt by that?â Enjin wheezed out smoke as he threw an arm around Rudoâs shoulders, giving him a shake. âIâve been called everything under the sun, kid. Being called a dumb lazy lizard is the least of my worries.â
Rudo figured, but it was still reassuring to hear. He lightly shoved at Enjin, laughing through coughs as he fanned away the smoke. âHah, yeah. HeyâŠare you ticklish, Enjin?â He looked up at him curiously, the hand pushing at the blondeâs side curling gently.
Enjin nearly choked on his smoke, jerking away and grabbing Rudoâs hand. âKid, I swear.â He glared down at the widening grey eyes shining with mischief. âYou want me to tickle you, again?â
âMaybe next time!â Rudo quickly shot up, running off and leaving Enjin snickering.
âMaybe next time, then.â Enjin blew a cloud of smoke free, smiling from ear to ear. So the kid wanted to play again. He had something to look forward to, now.
(apologies, I completely missed this in the squealing santa DMs until now)

Prompt: Sakuraâs never played Smash Bros in his life. How did he get so damn good in an hour?!
âAaaaaand this is going to help us bond⊠how?â Sakura mumbled, leaning against his empty kitchen counter.
âEveryone can use company, Sakura!â Nirei cooed, placing down a bag of groceries onto the countertop. âBesides, we all figured that you were super lonely when you were sick, so weâre here to un-lonely you!â He pulled his blonde strands into a teeny-tiny little ponytail at the top of his head.
âSome things just arenât able to be helped, Little Sakura,â Suo hummed, putting a soft hand on his head.
The half-and-half boy, in turn, growled, shaking the redheadâs hand off. âIâm not little! Weâre the same age!â
Hiragi and Umemiya were the next to arrive to Sakuraâs⊠quaint apartment. Hiragi was awkwardly carrying a television through the door? Umemiya held up a Switch, and suddenly things made sense.
They were going to play video games⊠wicked.
âHeyyyyyy, kiddos!â Umemiya chirped, placing the gaming console on the ground next to the TV. One by one, with a very dad-like grunt, he would pick up the boys in a tight hug.
Nirei was mid-slice of carrots when he was hugged from behind and hoisted. He giggled like a child. âUmemiya! Careful!â
âWhatâcha cookinâ, kid?â the older male inquired, setting the boy down and draping himself across his shoulders.
âMaking yakisoba for all of us.â
âOoooh. Sounds yummy,â he hummed. âAnd look at you with your hair up! The ladies would just be all over you!â Umemiya made cooing sounds as he pinched at Nireiâs ears, resulting in flustered giggles from the blonde.
Suo was next. As he helped Hiragi set up the gaming system, he was suddenly scooped like a bride. He subconsciously kicked his feet with a tiny gasp. âHello, Umemiya.â
âSuoooooooo. Youâve been taking care of yourself, right, kid? Not just worried about everyone else, yeah?â
The redhead sighed dismissively. âIâve got to get this hooked up if we want to play games.â
âThatâs not what I asked you.â
âIââ he exhaled with that polite smile of his. âOf course I have; itâs just that sometimes, others need my help more than I need rest.â
âOh! My dear pupil! You wound me so!â The oldest cried out. He cradled Suo to his chest like a baby, gently humming the lullaby song to him.
Sakura scowled. What a dork
That scowl was replaced by a rather manly yelp when he was swept off of his feet and thrown over Umemiyaâs shoulder like a sack of potatoes. âPut me down!â he cried. When the white-haired male began to spin him, he pounded his fists against his back. âUmemiya!â
Hiragi huffed with a grin. âAlright, Umemiya, put the kid down.â
âAwwww! But why?!â
âFirst, he looks nauseous as shit. Second, we got the console set up.â
With a groan from the older male, Sakura was back on his feet. He sat down next to Suo with a huff and crossed his arms. When Suo patted his head, he shot him a glare.
âHey, Sakura,â Hiragi hummed, âYâever play Smash Bros?â
âHeard of it,â he replied. âNever actually played it.â The boys turned to look at him as if he were a space alien. Even Nirei looked up from his vegetable chopping to gape at him. âWhat?â he asked, confused by their incredulous looks. His patience shortly wore thin. âOkay, what?! Is it like some rite-of-passage game? I bet youâll shit yourselves when I tell you that I canât play chess either!â
Suo turned to him with a Cheshire grin. âNow, young Sakura, we are going to teach you the ways of the gamer.â
The boy snorted. âOh yeah, sure. Like I need to know how to wear the same hoodie for five days straight and shower once every two months.â
Hiragi snorted at that, clapping a heavy hand on Sakuraâs shoulder. âNah, kid. This is just like the party game ever.â
âWrong,â Nirei called from the kitchen; he hadnât even turned to look at them, as he was caramelizing onions on the stove. âThe party game ever is Mario Party.â
âWrong again,â Umemiya chimed. âWii Sports is the way to go.â
âAbsolutely not,â argued Suo. âThe best one is totally Carnival Games.â
There was a collective groan from all of the boys except Sakura. Hiragi scoffed. âDo you want someone to throw a book at you?â
âBarker is SUCH a bitch, dude!â Nirei cried. There was a subsequent, loud sizzle from the pan in the kitchen.
âCareful now, donât singe your eyebrows off,â Suo hummed.
Sakura felt like he was missing something againâŠ
A small controller was put into his hand. It was blue, and it had four buttons and a joystick. How simpleâŠ
âSo, first, you pick who you want to be,â Umemiya hummed, taking a seat next to the boy. âMy favorite to play is Kirby. Heâs a little hard to get used to because of the timing.â
âTeach him to play Pikachu. Heâs like the easiest,â Hiragi mused.
âNo way! Teach him to be Lucas! Thatâs my main!â Nirei chirped. Sakura couldnât help but grin when the blonde sneezed. At least the food was getting seasoned.
âOf course you play Lucas,â Suo grumbled.
âAnd who do you two main?â Nirei huffed, stirring the contents of the pan.
âPalutena, duh,â Hiragi reported proudly.
Suo sat next to Umemiya, putting the oldest male in the middle. âSora main here.â
âBooooo DLC player!â the silver-haired male chided, wrapping his arm around the boyâs neck. âPay-to-win, Pay-to-win!â he cooed.
Suoâs visible eye rolled, and he snorted. âPaying only gets me the character. Itâs the skill that sells it.â
âI wanna be this guy!â Sakura interrupted. âHe looks cool.â Hovering his âP2â icon over the character, the boy looked at the rest of the group.
Hiragi gaped at him. âYou wanna beâŠâ
âMister Game and WatchâŠ?â Suo asked.
âWhatâs wrong with him?!â The half-and-half boy barked, a blush creeping onto his face. âHeâs so cool! Heâs old-fashioned gaming!â
Umemiya grinned at him. âYouâre right. Heâs based off of the first ever Nintendo console, the Game and Watch. He was the first video game character to ever exist.â
Sakuraâs eyes lit up. âI wanna play him!â
âGame and Watch it is,â Umemiya hummed.
The boys showed Sakura the ropes, and as expected, the young man greatly enjoyed himself. What they were not expecting was how fast he excelled.
âHow the hell did you take two stock already?!â Hiragi yelped, fiddling with his joystick in a panic.
âHis down smash demolishes. And I can edgeguard with neutral B,â the boy chimed.
âYou talk like youâve been playing this game for years,â Nirei noted.
âYour noodles are boiling over,â Hiragi grumbled at the sound of the bubbling pot.
Game after game, Sakura continued to absolutely destroy his friends in the game. Not a single one of them could defeat him. Even after changing characters, the half-and-half male still managed to steal stock after stock from them.
Now, it was him against Suo for a final deathmatch. Infinite stocks, 10 minutes time, total chaos.
Umemiya watched the screen with a delighted, soft smile. His baby brothers were really getting along, and it warmed his heart to see Sakura enjoying himself.
Delighted and frantic war cries filled the room. They were neck and neck. When one person would take a stock, the other would match it. Each boy was giving it his all, and both were at a stalemate within the first minute.
Soon, Sakura had the up on Suo, and Umemiya was truthfully getting tired of the same narrative over and over again.
Experimentally, he poked a single finger against Sakuraâs foot. The boy merely twitched, curling his toes up. When they un-scrunched, he waited for Sakura to charge up a strong attack before he skittered his fingers over it.
âWhat are youâ ngh! D-Doing?!â he yelped, jerking his foot away.
âNothinâ!â chirped the older boy.
âDonât screw with me. Iâm about to beat Suoâs ass!â
âHardly! Weâre one stock apart from each other!â the redhead argued.
âBoys! Donât argue,â the white-haired male chided. âYouâre both the winners in my heart!â
Sakura made a gagging noise, and Suoâs visible eye rolled. Umemiya glared at the two before sneaking a pinch to Suoâs side and a squeeze to Sakuraâs kneecap.
For Suo, his response was a small jolt and a death glare.
Sakura on the other handâŠ
âDONâT!â he exploded, yanking his knee away. His features softened when he realized everyone stopped to stare at him. âSâjust a sensitive part of me⊠Donât touch it; thatâs all.â
Sensitive, hm? Heâs sensitive there⊠Now, Umemiya was not born last night. What Sakura needed to say, but was unable to, is that he was ticklish there. His knees are not sensitive; theyâre ticklish.
âAh, I see,â Umemiya hummed. âYouâre ticklish,â he informed bluntly.
Sakura let out a strangled squeak when he was pinched again. âIâ I am not!â
âAre.â
âNot!â
âAaaaare!â
âNohohohohot!â
Suo grinned evilly when the oldestâs fingers continuously prodded around the half-and-half boyâs right knee.
âDohohohonât tihihihickle mehehehehe!â
âDonât tickle you? But Sakura, you just said you werenât ticklish! Why would you mind?â
Despite the handicap of his knee being squeezed, Sakura still managed to keep his lead through giggles and jolts of his body. He couldnât help but blush deeper when he noticed Hiragi watching him with a sweet grin. He was down to the final minute; he could do this!
âStay on it, kid! It would be a cryinâ shame if you were to⊠lose focus.â Umemiyaâs hands traveled up to squeeze at Sakuraâs thighs, his touch unrelenting. âDonât lose it!â
âGnghâ bahahahastahahahard! Nohohohoho!â he squealed, squirming.
âHmmm⊠I thought you werenât ticklish, Sakura?â the oldest cooed. âThis is such an oddity. I wonder whatâs happening.â
âDohohohohonât! Stahahahahap!â
âDonât stop? Oh, so you want to lose? Is this like a⊠giving up control thing? Yâknow, my therapist saysââ
âNohohohoho!â Sakuraâs character splatted against the screen, and a pillar of lightning followed. He had lost a stock, damn it! âStohohohop dihihihistrahahahactihihihing mehehehe! Bahahahastard!â
âSounds like a skill issue, Little Sakura,â Suo cooed, poking the boy in the side.
âUghhhhh! Stahahahap ihihihit! Yohohohou two suhuhuhuck!â Sakura whined. His laughter grew in pitch when he felt skittering fingers on his foot
Hiragi was grinning evilly, his free hand around the half-and-half boyâs ankle, his other hand tickling his foot with precision. Now within the final seconds of the match, the boys were tied. Suo had the upper hand because of this cheating! But Sakura was determined to keep his streak alive. He focused his attention into a down smash slam⊠followed by a side Bâ
âNAHAHAHAHA! DOHOHOHOHONâT!â he cried. Umemiyaâs squeezing hands traveled up to his ribs and prodded around. âNONONONONOHOHOHOHOHO!â
The oldest smiled beamingly. âDonât lose, kid! Keep it going!â
âThat little shit.â Suo grumbled. He tossed his controller to the side and tackled the giggling Sakura to the floorâthough, there wasnât very far for him to travel. Umemiya and Hiragi let go with surprised chuckles. âSo, Little Sakura, howâd you manage to cheat?â
âCheat?! It was you three cheating! I couldâve easily whooped your ass into next Sunday if you werenât t-tick⊠t-ticklâdistracting me!â
âOhhhh, distracting you, hm?â the redhead teased. âDonât you mean tickling you?â
âI see; I see,â Hiragi hummed. âHe was mad that we tickled him.â
âOohoohoo!â Umemiya cooed. âLittle Sakura canât handle the word tickle!â
âI guess so. Look at how red he gets when we say the world tickle around him,â Suo observed.
The white-haired male couldnât help but giggle at Sakuraâs increasing blush. âMhm. Mhm. How curious⊠Iâm just tickled by this information.
âShut up; shut up; shut up!â The boy whined. âYou three are terrible! Nireiâs my only friend now!â
The blonde let out a little cheer from the kitchen.
âWhat I think is that you need to tell us how you managed to get so good in only an hour,â Hiragi said with a death glare.
Suoâs hold on him got a bit tighter. âWe have our ways.â
Hold on⊠Were they gonna hurt himâŠ?! They were just having fun and beingâ
âRelax,â the redhead whispered as he held Sakuraâs arms over his head. He shifted to sit on his hands. âWe would never hurt yaâ, Little Sakura.â
Before he could relax, Suo dug into his underarms without mercy. âWAITWAITWAIT NAHAHAHAHAO! NOHOHOHOT THEHEHEHERERE!â he squealed, kicking his legs.
Umemiya grabbed onto his knees and squeezed both of them, cooing at him. âOoooh tickle tickle tickle, kiddo! Youâre so precious!â
As if he couldnât have been more embarrassed! A blush formed at his neck as he screamed in laughter.
âGUHUHUHUYS!â
Suo smiled sweetly at him: a rare, genuine sight. âHmm?â
âIHIHIHIT TIHIHIHICKLEHEHEHES!â
âIâm sure it does,â the redhead chimed. âWhy, Iâd be down for the count if I was being tickled riiiiight here!â Giving the half-and-half boy a break by moving his fingers to his neck.
In turn, Sakuraâs laughter died to gentle giggling once more, as Umemiya had picked up on the signal and moved down to run his fingers up and down the boyâs calf. He wriggled slightly, his body merely twitching in response.
âYouâve been carrying so much on your shoulders⊠Why donât you just lay back and laugh for a while?â Suoâs whispered voice in his ear caused a warm vibration to spread from his head to his toes. His blush spread to his ears and face now.
He nodded.
The redhead shot Hiragi a knowing look, and soon enough, there were skittering fingers on Sakuraâs feet again.
The half-and-half boy lay there giggling like a child. His eyes were squeezed shut in mirth, and his body jittered from the tickly feeling. Daresay, he was⊠enjoying it. The gentle treatment went on for minutes, and his giggling was rather cheerful.
At least, until Umemiya decided that he had had enough of a break.
Sakura felt Suo getting off of his wrists, the other murmuring something about ânot wanting to trap him.â As he went to sit up, to curse out his friends, he was pushed back to the floor with a heavy weight on his hips.
âSo⊠you gonna tell us how you did it?â asked the eldest, a terrifying calmness on his face.
Giggles started flooding out of him like routine. His hands, now freeâalbeit tremblingâshot up to grip his seniorâs wrists.
The two held intense eye contact until Umemiyaâs lips curled into a sweet smile. âOh, kid. Youâre just too cute.â
And then, Sakura felt two hands on his sides and tummy like lightning. He didnât even get a chance to react! His hips bucked upward as a strangled yelp left his lips, all before he dissolved into sweet laughter. âNohohohoho!â
âOh, yes. See, when the head of Bofurin asks you a question, Sakura, itâd be wise of you to answer,â Suo chirped, sitting cross-legged with that patient, polite smile of his.
The half-and-half boy couldnât even keep his grip on Umemiyaâs wrists, especially not when they traveled up to his ribs. Sakuraâs laughter grew in volume, his tummy quivering in the cold air as his shirt rode up.
Innocently, Suoâs two fingers crept up his side like walking limbs. They strolled along his sides and traced torturous circles along the bare skin before pinching around his belly button. The boy tossed his head back and cackled loudly when a finger dipped inside.
âSuch stamina,â Hiragi praised. âI wonder whatâll make you crack.â
âI know,â Umemiya chirped, âbut our little friend here is enjoying himself; I can tell; best not to tucker him out so fast!â
And all good things, as beautiful and sweet; as torturous and breath-stealing; as giddy and exciting as they may be, must come to an end. Despite his enjoyment, it would be Haruka Sakura who would end his own merriment.
âIhihihi cahahahan tahahahake ihihihit!â
Tsk tsk tsk⊠poor baby.
So confidentâŠ
All of that confidence melted away when Umemiyaâs hands shot up under Sakuraâs arms without warning. His back arched off the ground and thrashed madly, trying to escape. The white-haired maleâs fingers followed wherever he would attempt, leaving no opportunity for escape.
Suo continued his soft treatment of the boyâs stomach, utilizing gentle prods and tracing over anything else. As the tummy beneath his fingers would jolt and twitch, heâd only smile, resting his cheek on Sakuraâs lower ribs. One finger turned to two hands raking around the sensitive skin.
âUuuup, and dooooown, and aaaaalll arooooound. Only the softest touch for my Little Sakura.~â he cooed.
Meanwhile, Sakura could barely think. The back of his head was glued to the floor while his back arched up. Umemiyaâs weight on his hips rendered him immobile, with his arms free but just shy of stopping Suoâs torturous caresses. He could form no thoughts in his mind; he could move no limb to protest. He could scream his head off as his blush swallowed his whole face.
âHmm⊠That redness looks quite serious, Suo, my friend. What are your thoughts?â inquired Umemiya, not ceasing his tickling for a second.
âMhm, I agree⊠heâs far too flushed to continue for long,â mused the redhead. âSay, Umemiya, would you arch your back upward for me? Make a little room, please.â When his senior obliged, Suo smiled that calm, patient grin. âNow, Sakura, I know you canât hear me right now, as youâre being far too noisyâfor reasons Iâm totally unsure ofâbut I think itâs time for myself to show our upperclassmen how to solve a problem. Donât you?â
Belly laughter was the answer he received.
âNow⊠what to doâŠâ he drummed his fingers along the warm, bare skin of the boyâs tummy. âAh! Yes, naturally. Here we go!â With a deep breath, Suo ducked his head down and blew a raspberry onto Sakuraâs skin.
âOHOHOHOHO SHIHIHIHIHIHIT! NOHOHOHOHOHO!â
âAh! Umemiya, he seemed to enjoy it. Please arch upward once again!â Another breath, another raspberry.
âSHITSHITSHITSHIT! SHIHIHIHIT! FUHUHUHUCK!â
âSuch a rotten mouth!â Umemiya cried out, honing in on Sakuraâs underarms with a bit more fervor. He looked down evilly at the boyâa side which Sakura had seen only once before. A simple command was given to him; one that he would be able to ignore for a few good minutes. âCrack.â
And yet, nothing. Sakuraâs screams of laughter were merely background noise for the tiny apartment.
âOHOHOHOHO MY GOHOHOHOHOD! SHIHIHIHIT!â Accompanied Hiragiâs attempt to study the controllers better.
âNOHOHOHOHO! BAHAHAHASTARDS! HYEAHAHAHAHAHA!â Was a sweet symphony to join Nireiâs plating of their meal.
The two continued their ruthless attack on the younger boy. Despite his hot blush, the intensity of their tickling, and the duration, Sakura still was going on strong. Umemiya ought to be the one to put his baby brother to bed after as an apology.
Raspberry after raspberry, Suo continued without mercy. His repetition led him to an experiment of sorts: berries toward the sides and hips were less ticklish, while berries toward the ribs and atop of the belly button were the most. He breathed in heavy for another one until he heard a frantic plea.
When Umemiyaâs fingers came to a halt, and Sakuraâs upper body fell backwards, Suo was there to catch him. He gently pat the boyâs back as he caught his breath, subsequently snaking his hand under Sakuraâs white top to rub the warm skin of his back.
âJust breathe, Sakura. Donât speak; just breathe,â Suo soothed in a whisper.â
Umemiyaâs fingers started to gently brush through his hair. âShit, kidâ Haruka, Iâm so sorry.â
âSâokay⊠had⊠lotsâa⊠funâŠâ rasped the boy.
A delicious smell of meat and veggies entered their noses, and a huge bowl of Yakisoba was soon prepared on the counter.
âEat up,â Nirei hummed. âGet his strength back up.â
The half-and-half boy was gently shook, but he only groaned, clinging onto Suoâs free arm. Hiragi huffed with a fond grin, bringing back an extra plate for Suo, while Umemiya did the same for Sakura.
The five boys shared their meal in total delight. Sakura stayed glued to Suo for a good five minutes, eyes shutâat least until he realized that he was snuggled up to the redhead, then he promptly shot up like a spring, his blush creeping back. It was at this point where he would begin his meal.
After food was shared, Hiragi offered to clean up, while Umemiya offered to wash the dishes. While the two older men completed their cleaning, the Switch was booted back up. Nirei quickly loaded into the game and selected his main fighter. He took his hair out of the ring ponytail⊠BusinessâŠ
And finally, throughout a day full of losses and revenge, Haruka Sakura was at last defeated.
