"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA OKAY OKAHAHAY YOHOHOHOHOU WIHIHIN NOHOW STAHAHAHAP IHIHIT!!" Sakuya's howls were filling Mahiru's living room, while the latter was gleefully tickling his feet.
The vampire was lying on the couch being grumpy about something he didn't even remember, when his friend decided it was time for him to smile, so he sat on the couch as well, hosted the other's feet in his lap and began his assault without even a warning.
His attack had continued for five minutes before he stopped. The brunette always found it amusing how some soft touches in the right spot managed to weaken and exhaust the vampire in so little time. "Are you okay?" He asked with a big smile that made it obvious that he wasn't feeling even the slightest bit of guilt.
"That... was totally un... uncalled for..." the green-haired guy replied while still panting, "but I... kinda needed that maybe... thank you..." he hesitate a little, suddenly feeling bashful, but he managed to say everything out loud. He also got up and tried to ruffle Mahiru's hair, but his hand slipped and accidentally brushed his neck, which made the shorter guy flinch and cover his mouth whith his hand.
Sakuya was perplexed and looked at his friend with a worried expression. "Mahiru? Are you okay? Did I hurt you? I thought I wasn't using that much stren-" then realization hit him all of a sudden.
"So you're ticklish and never thought of telling me?"
As soon as he heard the 't-word', the brunette jumped up and tried to get away from the couch, but he should've known better than to challenge a vampire in speed. Before he could even take his first step, a strong pair of arms captuded him and he found himself lying on the couch with his arms pinned down by Sakuya's legs.
"Nononono wait stop- I'm serious, don't." The shorter boy said with wide eyes before his firend even touched him. "Ummm..." Mahiru knew he needed an excuse as quick as possible "I have an ugly laugh..." He ended up saying. It wasn't even a lie, he didn't really like his laughter... not to the point that he wouldn't sleep at night or get paranoid over it, but he would've gladly changed it.
However, someone seemed to disagree and he made it pretty clear with a dramatic and disdained gasp. "First of all, how dare you. Secondly, I will now proceed to show you, in excruciating detail, how wrong you are." He concluded with a mischievous smirk while pondering on where to start.
"In detail? What do you me- pfft... hohohold ohon!!" It was to late to ask for clarifications. Apparently Sakuya had decided on a spot and the attack had already begun. The surprise effect made the brunette unable to hold back his laughter, so a stream of squeaky giggles started pouting out as soon as the vampire's fingers found his underarms.
He wanted to be ruthless from the very beginning, but Mahiru could feel some hesitation in how the fingers poked and drilled in his armpits, probably because he didn't want to hurt him with his vampiric strength. The Eve couldn't help but be endeared at the thought, but he had no time to show that emotion... in fact he was too busy laughing and kicking his legs when the green-haired guy switched to his thighs.
"SahahakuyaHAHA I deheHEHEmahand yohohou toho stOHohop thihis ihihinstAHAHant!!" He attempted to sound firm, but with his laughter going up and down with every squeeze he only got a hilarious effect. "Aaaww I can't decide if I like this change of pitch or your giggles... but they both sound so sweet!! I'll say it's a tie." The taller guy decided, while making sure his friend wasn't showing any real signs of discomfort. To his relief and joy, he wasn't, which meant that despite his demands, he could have his fun at least for a little more.
"Shuhut uHUHUhup ahaHAnd stohop lyihIHIhing ahalreahahady!!" Mahiru yelled while laughing his head off. He couldn't deny he was having fun, but things would've probably been funnier if his laughter wasn't so high-pitched and loud... or at least he thought it was the case. The green-haired guy seemed to have the time of his life.
"First you insult your laughter and now you accuse me of being a liar?!" Sakuya used again his overly dramatic tone, "You really do need a change in your attitude, don't you?" He teased once more before going for the Eve's tummy and bellybutton with one hand and ribs with the other. He could've watched Mahiru buck his hips up and down and squirm left and right depending on which side of his ribcage was being targeted forever.
"What's going on here?" A sleepy and lowkey annoyed voice startled both of them.
"Oh Kuro," the green-haired guy mused "we were just having some fun here. Laugh if you agree, Mahiru." He said without stopping his tickle attack.
"Just get his ears already and get this over with... and be quiet. I'm trying to sleep." Sleepy Ash demanded before disappearing again in his human's bedroom for and cat nap.
Sakuya stopped tickling his friend and let him breathe for a second. "So, your ears huh?" He asked without letting him go, and given how much Mahiru was struggling to break free, he knew Kuro was telling the truth.
With a swift movement, he hosted the shorter guy on his lap, his back pressed against his chest. He hugged the poor brunette from behind and blowed experimentally on his left ear. The shriek he elicited was something else.
"NOHOHOHOHO PLEHEHEAHAHSE THAHAHAT'S TOOHOHO MUHUHUCH!!" Mahiru begged, but Sakuya knew he could handle some more. After all, he was carefully observing him and he was ready to stop at any time.
However, it wasn't that time just yet. He kept blowing left and right, admiring his friend scrunching his neck to protect one side only to leave the other one open. He was so precious... the vampire wished he could see it as well. But it wasn't the time to get soft, he needed to deal the final blow.
He nibbled on Mahiru's right earlobe, letting his pointy canines graze lightly over his skin.
With that, he hit the jackpot. Mahiru started squirming and howling more than ever and gave up in thirty seconds or even less. "MY LAHAUHUHUGHTER IHIHISN'T UGLYEHEHEHE PFFT- HAHAHAHAHAHAHA STOHOHOHOP IHIHIHIT PLEHEAHAHAHSE!!" He admitted to stop that torture.
After some minutes of deserved rest, Sakuya asked "Do you still think your laughter is ugly? After everything I did to keep hearing it?" The brunette frowned, but his friend knew he was seriously considering what he had told him, and it was enough for a first step.
That night, after Sakuya had gone home, Mahiru got a voice message from him. He opened it to listen to whatever he had to tell him, but he froze on the spot.
It was a recording of his own laughter.
Sakuya was so dead.
But that recording didn't sound that bad after all...
