NEED A HAND ? (Science party + Pyro)
Engineer pushed the door forward , it's paint and acrylic varnish scratched off. They squeaked strongly as they opened. The sound dug into the man's inner ears and it made him grimace.
-*Oof* I'll have to give them hinges some good oili'n later. - he murmured.
The workshop of his needed some cleaning up overall. Tools and spare parts and scrap metal littered the big , ebony worktable. Dell pulled the curtains apart in order to let some daylight in. He smiled , feeling the rays of orangey sunlight hit his face. Maybe the mess should really be referred to as an artistic disarray ?
It could be inspirational.
Engie hummed something while digging through the contents of the wooden chest , which is where he kept all different kinds of gizmos and doodads. He took out some blueprints , old ones that he didn't have much of an opportunity to figure out , finalize and bring to life. His mind trailed off into the land of wonders and notions. Dell got so engrosed in his work that he failed to hear the *creak* of the opening door. With how jaded those hinges were , it was surprising he didn't catch it. Somebody's hand rested on his shoulder and by the way it was tender and chilly to the touch , the Texan didn't need to hear the voice of it's owner.
-Howdy , Sawbones. - Engineer greeted the fellow scientist.
Herbert smiled softly at the familiar nickname.
-Hello , Cowboy. I scared you , didn't I ?
Engineer rose from his seat , which was a small , wheeled stool. He got rewarded with a smooch from his partner.
-Of course , Luddy. You are the most terrifyin' fella around these parts. - the bald man giggled.
-I beg to differ. Have you seen yourself without your morning coffee , mein Lieber ? - Ludwig shot straight back.
-Touché - Dell bit down on his lip to that.
Medic nuzzled closely into the crook of Engineer's neck. The tip of his nose teasingly traced around it's side. The sensation caused the breath to get caught in Engie's throat.
-*He-Heh !* Careful there . doctor. - he cackled with that familiar southern twang.
-Vhat was that , Sweetheart ? - Medic hummed.
-Da *han't* pretend you don't know. - Dell covered his mouth with his hand.
Ludwig rested his chin on his partner's shoulder and pretended to think about his answer. Oh , he was "thinking" HARD.
-Nnnein , Engineer ~ I have no idea , vhat I might be doing. - the german smiled , looking at his lover's increasingly shakier grin.- Would you kindly elaborate ?
Meem allowed his arms to loosely wrap around Engie's frame and the Laborer wasn't complaining about the attention. Be that as it may , soon he found it more and more difficult. Medic's hands just couldn't be kept away from his midsection. Engineer jolted at the quickly strengthening , tickly sensation.
-*Hehehe-ha !* *Heherb !* *Ehehe-haa !*
-You are laughing. Zhat likely means you like it , Ja ?
-*Gahahahad-dahahamihit !*
He kind of hated that Ludwig was right about that. His legs gave out underneath him and he let himself fall to the floor. Lu grinned at the realization , that now , he had much better access to Dell's most "devastating" spot.
-C-Cahamon , doc. Truce ? - Engie pleaded seconds before his boyfriend followed up with his plan.
-Mmm ... Ja. Truce. - Medic beamed , his expression shifted to a playfully wicked one in the blink of an eye.- Right after that , that is.
To Dell's horror (or delight) , his lover pulled up his flannel to have better access to his stomach. If the Texan thought previous sensations were intense , he was in for a rodeo. The raspberry he received from medic was horrifically precise.
-*AA-AHAHAHAHAHA !* *YEE-HAHAHAHAW !* *SQUEAK*
Ludwig halted his tickly attack at the adorable sound.
-Oh , you are so niedlich. - he complimented , honestly enamored.
Engineer couldn't stop the flow of heat and blood to his face. The blushing only mad Medic want to flatter Dell more.
-Now you look just like a fabulous rose. - the doctor snickered , giving him a peck on the cheek.
Having noticed the chance to turn the table , Engie gently grasped Ludwig's side.
-Alrighty. That's plenty enough. - he said , breathless giggles escaping through his teeth.
Medic got the idea to get some water for the tuckered out Conagher. He wiped the drops of tears from the corners of his eyes. It had been a while since he got such a hearty laugh. What it gave him was a great mood and plenty of energy and it would be a shame to not take advantage of that.
Not long after , Medic returned with a glass of cold water in hand.
-Here you go , Liebe. - he hummed , stopping in his tracks when he noticed the lack of Engineer.
Uh-oh.
Ludwig quickly left the room and was determined to find Dell. It ended up being much easier than expected. That sly dog slinked into hiding and he was eager to pounce at his boyfriend at the right moment.
Luddy peaked into the living room but only found Pyro , who was busying themselves with torching pieces of paper. Whatever floats their boat , I guess.
-Pyro ! Have you seen Engineer ? - Ludwig toyed with the glass before setting it down on the table.
Pyro shook their head. Of course they would cover for their father figure. Medic took a second to look around , he made the mistake of looking behind the sofa.
-* GOT'CHA ! * - Dell dashed out from his hiding spot , wrapping his arms around Medic's legs.
*THUD !*
The doctor fell down like a tree , that has been chopped down. Medic quickly shook off the dizyness , caused by the fall.
-Firefly , vat was zhat for ? - he questioned , with more confusion than anger.
Suddenly , a different voice came to Ludwig's ears.
-It was my idea , Lu. - Engineer laughed heartily. - I thought , it would be fitting to thank ya for earlier.
-A simple zhank you vould have been fine with me - Medic smiled brazenly.
-Well , I have a different idea to repay the favor. And I asked Pyro for help. - Dell answered.
Firefly took their mention as permission to start their revenge. Their fingers acted quickly and dug into the back of Ludwig's knee.
-*OHO-HO !* *PY-HY-HY !* - he squeaked in surprise.
-What ? We are just checking for busted bones. - Engie sat on the floor , he situated himself right around Medic's torso.
The Texan raked his fingers across his lover's ribcage , which caused Ludwig to choke down a SNORT.
-But , to be frank , ah could use a new guitar ~
Medic didn't even try to protect himself.
-*OHOHO-HAHAHAHAHA !* *HOO !*
-Bloody hell ! It sure needs some tuning up. - Dell pretended to grimace at the sweet sound that was Ludwig's laugh. - Let's see here...
His gun-slinger might have been hefty and a powerful weapon but it was also delicate enough to "strum the strings". He poked around the gap in-between Medic's ribs.
-*MHHM !* *HAHAHAHAHA !* *DEHEHEHELL !*
-Hmm ... Not quite. Let's try again. - Engie smiled.
Dell scribbled all across Ludwig's midsection.
-*BWAHAHAHAHA-HEE !* *SNORT*
-Dang-nabbit ! That guitar is tough to crack. - the Texan smiled slyly and turned to face Pyro. - Hey , Firefly !
Pyro's head shot up to look at Engineer.
-Will you help me tune that guitar ? It could take a whiiiile. - he emphasized the last word.
How would Firefly refuse such an offer ?
