“If you hug me when we get to the airport, I will kick you in your testicles.” Tubbo says, getting some iron from the cave he put his Minecraft character into.
“Please don’t.” Ranboo replied, holding back a laugh while also mining, but in a different cave.
“I would- I would have to kick so high.”
“You make me seem a lot taller to you than I am irl, like, you would only come… like… Just below my shoulder.”
“So I’m- I’m like armrest height?” Tubbo bit his lip to stop from laughing.
“Yeah, when I get to England, the only physical affection you’re getting from me is me using you as my armrest.”
The bee lover smirked a bit, but not noticeable for chat to see clearly. He then switched tabs to his and Ranboo’s Discord DM’s, and sent them a message. Ranboo stopped his game at the sudden notification. He switched tabs, and looked at the message;
You do that, and I’ll tickle you >:)
The half enderman thanked god that they had their face cam for they blushed a shade of light red. The only way Tubbo could tell it got to his best friend, is the shaky breath he does when he’s flustered.
“Ranboo?” Tubbo asked, still smirking, “You good there?”
“Yes! Yes, I-I am a-okay!” The faceless streamer said quickly. That confirmed to Tubbo that they were flustered.
A few weeks later, Tubbo was bouncing up and down in his seat as his sister drove him to the airport. He was finally gonna see his best friend after only seeing him on Discord and Facetime.
He found his platonic husband coming out of the gate, their luggage being lugged behind them as they looked for the brunette, and Tubbo immediately pounced. He jumped up high enough to land on Ranboo’s back, wrapping his legs around the taller’s waist and locking his arms around his neck, but not tight enough to choke him. Ranboo stumbled back a little with a small squeak, only their friend on their back could hear.
“Tubbo?” Ranboo panicked, but smiled as his friend giggled.
“No! This is… This is Robert!” Tubbo wore a stupid smile on his face, but it was covered by his surgical mask he was required to wear, “Give me all your money right now or… or I shoot!” The bee boy made a finger gun and rested the “point” on Ranboo’s head.
“What? No! Not Robert!” Ranboo smiled behind his grey mask. They suddenly swirled a single finger under Tubby's knee, earning a small squeak from the other, “Give me back Tubbo!” “AH! Ohokay! It’s me! Tuhubbo!” He giggled quietly, as Ranboo stopped his finger, not wanting to embarrass his friend (too much). Tubbo got off his friend’s back so they could hug properly.
“What’s this Mr. “if you hug me in the airport, I’ll kick your testicles”?” Ranboo teased.
“Shut up.”
“Now you’re the one who hugged me!”
“It’s not too late to kick your balls.”
“What balls are we talking about? Volleyball? Soccer?”
“Shut up!”
“Or I’m sorry, football,” they had said the last word with a slight British accent.
The smaller looked up at his friend, “I do not talk like that!”
“I only kid, you know?” Ranboo’s smile got impossibly bigger at his friend’s sigh, which sounded a little like a whine.
“I’m just happy to see you!” Tubbo said, shoving him away, “Is that so bad?”
“No! It’s not bad at all” Ranboo grabbed their suitcase as Tubbo insisted on taking the other one. Once they got through the airport doors, Ranboo met Tubby's sisters in real life for the first time as they drove back to their house. There was some awkward small talk in the car, but when they got to their destination, the Tubbo family was thrilled to see the American, and he fit right in.
“Well, we’ll let you two have a bit of privacy,” Tubbo's mother said, putting on her coat.
“Thanks mom!” Tubbo said, kissing her cheek. They waved goodbye and closed the door. As soon as they were alone, Ranboo took off their mask and glasses and sighed. Tubbo admired Ranboo’s face. Their grey-ish green eyes, and his happy smile.
“So,” Tubbo sighed, trying to break the small, comfortable silence, “what do you wanna do?”
“I’m not too sure,” Ranboo replied, noticing their best friend staring at him and smiled shyly, “Well, we have our stream we have to film.”
The two walked into their bedroom, Ranboo putting a blanket over the pull-out bed, “Right...” Tubbo had forgotten all about the stream they had promised their fans, “Do we have to do that?”
“Tubbo...”
“What? We can do it tomorrow!”
“But we promised-”
“We can even do it near this time, so it’s more believable! Please?”
Ranboo sighed. They knew they wouldn’t win this augment. “Fine,” he said. They didn’t have time to regret the word that came out of their mouth because of Tobey's happy smile. They could practically see his tail wagging behind him. “Thanks, boo!” the brunette exclaimed, giving the blond a side hug.
“No problem, bee” feeling a bit teasy, Ranboo put their elbow on the bee lover’s head. They laughed at the pout his friend wore. He even re-adjusted himself to almost fully lean on the older.
“Y’know, this armrest is really comfortable,” they said, trying not to laugh at Tubbo’s annoyed expression, “Maybe I should use it oft-EN!”
They squealed at the sudden poke to their armpit, and clamped his elbow to his side immediately.
Tubbo smirked. “How long has it been… what… around three months since we’ve told each other?”
“Tobey…”
“And for those three months, you have been texting me teasy messages, saying things on call-”
“Tubbo- Tobey please!”
“Even on stream once-!”
“You could have just hung up if you didn’t like it!” Ranboo smiled, he knew what he had done, they read too many fanfics for them to be oblivious. So many of them predicted Tubbo would take the provoking bait and give Ranboo what he wanted.
“Why you little-” In an instant, Ranboo was on the ground and Tubbo was straddling their waist, “You see, now I can see your smile riiight here, up close and personal!” The brunette gently spidered his fingers across the other’s belly, enjoying the loud squeal it produced.
“T-Tuhuhubbo!” They giggled, but made no movement in protest. He clenched his fists near his chest.
“That’s my name, boss man!” Tubbo giggled, “You are so giggly! Wow! I was expecting some sort of hold back, little lee~!” “I-Ihi’m nohohohot little! Ohohor a leehehehehehe! NAHahaha! Gehehet ohout of thehehere! Tuhubboho!” Ranboo squealed as Tubbo dipped a finger into their belly button.
“Oh my god! Look at this!” Tubbo gasped dramatically, “I found the Ranboo giggle button! All you have to do is press it, and they giggle!” He further proved his point by gently squishing the area around Ranboo’s belly button, making them squeal and giggle louder.
“W-Wihihihihill yohohohou behehe quihiet- NAHAHA!” Ranboo’s laughter went louder as Tubbo blew a raspberry on the middle of their stomach, followed by smaller ones around it right after, “I’m soHOHORry! I’m sohorry! I’m- NAHAHAHO!”
The boy blew another big raspberry near his lower stomach before looking up at his friend for any signs of discomfort. When he was met with only a bright smile and happy giggles, he continued his attack.
Tubbo squeezed their side, making Ranboo jolt from one side to the other. The bee boy smirked and squeezed his other side.
“Tohobey! No-HO!” Ranboo whined, grabbing Tubbo's wrists, but making no effort to push him away whatsoever. “Stoohoop!”
“Genuinely?” When he got no answer, he continued to quickly squeeze Ranboo’s sides, enjoying the constant squeals and squeaks his friend produced.
Ranboo was having just as much fun as Tubbo was. He threw his head back and laughed to his heart's content. Until, however, they got used to the sensations on their sides after a bit of time, but still pretended like they tickled badly and continued to giggle. Tubbo was so focused on making the American giggle and squeal, that he didn’t realize Ranboo’s hand came out of their fist, until he felt a familiar ticklish feeling on his ribs.
He pulled his hands back with a quiet squeak, but Ranboo heard it perfectly clear.
Ranboo continued to squeeze Tubbo's ribs, their smile so wide it was practically splitting their face. “Rahahahan! Wahahait! Thahahat’s nohohot fahahair!” Tubbo giggled, trying to push Ran’s hands off him.
“How is it not fair if you love it?” Ranboo questioned. They eventually got Their strength back from the tickle attack and pushed Tubbo to the ground and sitting on the smaller boy’s shins. “I remember you telling me this was one of your spots. Better check it out!”
“Wait, wha- AH! WAITWAITWAHAHAHAIT!” Tubbo squealed out when he felt Ranboo squeeze the tops of his knees, “WAHAHAHAIT NOHOHO!”
“No? Ok, I guess I could just get off-” Ranboo said as he halted his attack and started to get off Tubbo.
“Wait!” Tubbo said, grabbing Ranboo’s wrist. Ranboo raised his brow at Tubbo, knowing how mean they are.
“What? You told me no and sounded like you wanted me to get off so I got off, now you're looking at me with your sad puppy eyes –don’t think that I don't see them– when I listen?” The faceless streamer chuckled, “Make up your mind, Toby!”
“FINE! Ok, can you… please?” Tubbo asked, covering his face.
Knowing and appreciating how hard Tubbo was trying to ask, Ranboo smiled. “Ok!” was all the dirty-blond said before doing the exploding-spider trick on his friend's knees.
Tubbo screamed. He wasn’t expecting that to tickle so much!
“AH! AHAHAHA! WHYHEHEHE DOHOSE THAT TIHIHICKLE SO BAHAHAHAHAD?!” Tubby's face was bright red as he shook his head back and forth as a way to deal with the sensations around his knees.
“Wow, Tubs, I think you’re more ticklish than me!” Ranboo laughed, moving their hands below Tubbo's knees to test the sensitivity, “tickle, tickle, tickle~!” “AHH! WAHAHAHAIT! AHAHAHA THAHAHAT TIHIHIHICKLES MOHOHOHOHRE!” the brunette shrieked and squealed with laughter, the hands around his mouth barely hiding his hysterics, “GOHOHOHO SOHOHOMEWHERE EHEHEHEHEHELSE!! PLEHEHEHEAHASE!”
Ranboo heard the desperation in the shorter’s voice and immediately went to Tubbo's sides, not wanting to completely stop yet.
Tubbo giggled happily and took in grateful breaths. He can’t remember last time he had this much fun, other than with Tommy, of course. It’s always a fun adventure with that kid.
Tubbo let his hands fall from his face to weakly grab onto Ranboo’s wrists. Ranboo even let out a giggle at how small the brunette’s hands were in comparison to their overly large ones. “Y-Yohour hahands are tiny!”
“Ehexcuse mehehe?” Tubbo giggled, grabbing onto Ranboo’s wrist tighter and flipping it over, “mine aren’t small, yours are just fucking giant!” Tubbo then ran his blunt nails along his friend’s palm.
Ranboo giggled and pulled their hand away, but Tub’s grip was too strong. “Tuhuhubbo- *snort* Tuhuhubbo nohoho!” “WAS THAT A SNORT?!” Tubbo yelled, sitting up while Ranboo was still in his lap, “Aww, you snort when your hand is tickled?” Ranboo proved his point further by snorting again when Tubbo moved to their wrist. “Oh, it’s your whole arm, isn’t it?”
Tubbo was thrilled with his discovery. Just another cute trait about his taller friend. “By your lack of response, I’m going to assume that’s a yes.” Toby smiled, “You know, I’m starting to think that the taller you are, the more ticklish you are!” (a/n: ok, I just flustered myself by saying that asdkwehfk)
The brunette’s smile grew wider as he saw how effective his statement was. Ranboo’s face immediately grew redder, they had to use their free hand to cover their cheeks to save at least a little embarrassment. “Whahahat mahahahakes yohohou- *snort* think thahahat?” Ranboo would have loved to say that they hated how teasy Tubbo was being with him, however, both of them knew that was a lie.
“Cause, there’s more of you to tickle, duh!” Tubbo said as he reached up to Ranboo’s neck. The dirty blond snorted again before a shriek left their mouth.
“AH! TOHOHOBY! WAHAHAHAHAHAIT! NOHOHOHOT THEHEHEHEHEHERE! OHOHO GOHOHOD!” Ranboo scrunched his head to the side Tubbo was tickling, while leaning back, trying to escape the intense sensations on his neck.
They ended up leaning a little bit too far back, and ended up falling backwards. Big mistake. Tubbo smiled and sat on Ranboo’s hips. He then immediately resumed tickling the sides of their neck. The poor dirty-blond was cackling, throwing his head around. Even when they tried to cover their neck with their hands, Tubbo just moved to their ears, which in Ranboo’s most humble opinion, was so much worse.
“TUHUHUBO! WAHAHAHA!” The taller streamer had his eyes scrunched so much that they were practically shut. Their cheeks were so red, embarrassed that he was laughing so much at such a small place, “NOHOHOHOHO!” “What’s wrong, Ran? You stuck?” Growing kinda concerned at the redness of his friend’s face, Tubbo moved down to their sides, mindlessly tracing stars and hearts on their waist. “You’re lucky I don’t wanna kill you right now, or else I would have gone for longer-”
“Whahat, yohohou a puhuhssy or sohomething?” Ranboo smirked up at Tubbo before he sat up, grabbing the smaller streamer’s wrist and stretching it into the air. They then drilled into their friend’s armpits, twisting their thumb in circles just to drive Tubbo up the wall.
“AH! AHAHAHAHAHA! Rahahaha- AHAHAH STAHAHAHAP! NOHOHOHOTTHERENOTTHEHEHEHERE!” Tubbo shook his head and slammed his free arm against his side, the other one twisting and turning in his friend’s tight grip.
“Admit it! I won~! Also, that you’re a lee!” Ranboo was having fun being on the giving end. Victory was so close he could taste it. When Tubbo didn’t give up, they let go of his hand and started vibrating a clawed hand onto his stomach.
Tubbo screamed as his two worst spots were tickled. “RAHAHAHAHAHAN! WAHAHAHAIT HAHAHANG OHOHON! NOHOHOHAHAHAHA!” He yelled. In panic, he reached his hand out and grabbed onto the first tickle spot he could grab. It happened to be Ranboo’s hip.
Well, there went their chance of winning.
His hands shot to the smaller streamer’s wrist, all of their strength being zapped away within 5 seconds. They fell back, Tubbo looming over them as he giggled away.
“Aww, Ran! I think you’re a little mistaken!” The brunette boy smirked, “You’re the lee here. You’re so tickle- tickle- ticklish! I’m barely even touching you, and you're here, giggling away like a tiny, wittle baby! How adorable! What’s wrong Ran? Are the ticklish and funny sensations too much for you? Aww, poor wittle wanboo, too ticklish to even respond!” “AHHAHAHAHA OHOHOHOHOKAHAHAHAY! OHOKAY! STAHAHAHAP! IHIHI’LL- AHAHAH!” Ranboo shook his head back and forth, “SEHEHEHERIOUSLY!”
Finally, Tubbo stopped squeezing his American friend’s hips, smiling at how the streamer was still giggling when he went over to the kitchen to grab himself and his friend a glass of water. “Wow, it wasn’t that bad, was it?”
“Fuhuck ohoff, Tobey,” Ranboo glared and took the water.
“Gasp! Ranboo! Such foul language!”
“Oho I know you’re nohot talking right now!” The American winced as Tubbo nudged their hand that was holding the drink, causing it to spill on the teen’s hoodie.
“Well go on then,” Tubbo smiled, “Admit that you’re the lee!” “No!”
“What, do you want round two~?” Tubbo set his glass on his desk, wiggling his fingers at the dirty-blond on the floor. Ranboo’s eyes widened at the threat, “NO! Fihine, I’m… a lee.”
Deciding to be nice tonight, Tubbo smiled and sat in his gaming chair, “Awww! Only the cutest wittle lee I’ve ever seen!”
“I swear to god, Tobey, say “wittle” one more time, and I’ll tickle you until you cry.”
“Fine! Fine!” Tubbo surrendered, knowing that wasn’t an empty threat, “how about this, we stream tomorrow. You’re probably jet-lagged and-”
“I don’t get jet-lagged tubs. We’ve been over this.”
“Sure, that’s why you look like you’re going to pass out.” Tubbo smirked again as he helped Ranboo up, the pair walking into the living room.
“That’s because you- … y’know...”
“Tickled you?” Tobey smiled even wider as he put the two glasses in the sink, “Wow, such a lee you can’t even say it?”
“I- shut up!” Ranboo covered their slowly growing red face as they sat on the couch, Tubbo following after.
“Anyways, as I was saying, why don’t we just watch the office?” Ranboo’s eyes lit up. The fact that his best friend wanted to watch his favourite show made him feel good. “I… That would be very nice, actually.”Tubbo smiled as he played the TV show, watching as Ranboo’s eyes lit up. The boy sighed. Wow, he thought, this is about to be the best 4 months of my life.
