Royal punishment in the name of jambalaya

Word Count: 3,356 words. By: Witch Anon

It was late at night in the hotel, most of the residents were asleep or going to.

The king of hell was one of them. During the day he kept an easy-going demeanor for his daughter and everyone else, but at night, specially just before bed and when nobody is watching, his mask fell off.

Ever since his queen disappeared he had to become a rock his daughter could lean on, always reassuring her everything was going to be okay, he had to be strong to rule hell and to be a father... but every night he just missed her, his only rock he could lean onto, his life partner was gone...

The princess of hell, Charlie Morningstar, was taking one last stroll in the hallways of the hotel, getting close to his father's room, to wish him good night, but before she could even say something, she saw him by the barely open door and just watched.

She watched the king walk over his bed and sit on it, with a sad expression on his face. He took his hat off and his boots, and then looked at his hand... and took it to his mouth, in the motion like someone taking a medicine or a pill, and that exactly what the king was doing... next thing Charlie saw was Lucifer gulping down the pill, staring to the space, and smiled softly as que positioned himself better on the bed... and then...

".... Lilith..." he said in soft voice, but loud enough for his daughter to hear him.

Next thing that happened was the king softly falling on his back in the soft bed, starting to softly snore after a few seconds.

Charlie gasped when she saw that, and entered the room, avoiding to step in any of the rubber ducks scattered in the floor until she reached her father's bed, she tried to shake him a bit to see if she could wake him up but nope, he was out like a light... she looked around for a few seconds until she saw a medicine bottle and read it... sleeping pills, from the sloth ring, there was five of them in the bottle... it wasn’t difficult to put two and two together... she already knew he suffered depression, he himself confessed it to her after staying in the hotel, but now seeing he needed pills to sleep, probably because of sleepless nights told her it was worse than she thought... he really missed her mom, his wife.

"Ow... dad..." she whispered, looking at her sleeping father... she thought of at least tucking him in but she didn't want him to know she was there and saw that, so she quietly left the room, closing the door behind her.

She sighed, she wanted to help him, now knowing all the times Lucifer was there with her, he pretended to be all fine and okay, but carrying a really heavy load of negativity on his shoulders... she walked towards her room, maybe she could think in something in the morning.

-------------------------------------

A good night sleep didn't mean he wouldn't feel empty when he woke up.

The king slowly woke up, still being able to remember his blissful dream of his days back in Eden, back when he was an angel just resting his head on Lilith's lap, enjoying her voice, he could still feel her hands petting and combing his hair and wings... but he had to come back to reality.

It always happened, he would dream with her and feel sad in the morning because it was just a dream... but there was no time to feel like that, the day was starting, and as king he had to be ready for the day. He dragged himself to the bathroom to get a shower and get ready, that day deciding to just stay in white pants and a red tank top, Charlie already told him he could be casual at the hotel and be relaxed, he didn't had to be dressed like a king all the time, and he was happy to oblige.

Soon the king exits his room, his hooves tapping softly in the carpet as he made his way towards the lobby to have breakfast. During his walk he took the time to see the details and effort his daughter made to make the hotel look amazing, how her dedication could be seen in every corner, every flowerpot, how clean everything was... and couldn't help to think...

"Lilith would have love to see what our little girl has accomplished..." he said with a small smile.

A loud squealing ripped the king out of his deep thoughts, catching his attention and making him go faster in the hallway towards the source of the noise.

What surprise it was to go into the lobby of the hotel where a squirming Niffty was squealing and giggling up a storm in the claws of the radio demon himself, Alastor. The red deer currently had the maid lifted and secured in his hands and he was nibbling at the smaller demon's tummy, growling playfully. Niffty was giggling madly, her hands grabbing at Alastor's ear and hair but not really pushing him off, meaning she was actually happy and enjoying the moment. Husk was cleaning some cups in his bar nearby, for a moment smiling fondly at the sight, and then continuing to be grumpy as always. Angel was sitting in the other side of the couch, smirking watching the scene.

"Damn smiles, you're going to kill her of laughter if you keep going like that" the porn star said in amusement, actually having fun watching.

"Oh, don't be silly my feminine fellow~ she already dead!" the radio demon laughed.

Lucifer stayed in the door of the lobby, watching the scene, and couldn't help to smile softly watching, remembering how he used to play like that when Charlie was little, the little hell born squealing and giggling in his hands... it was a nice memory.

"Dad?"

Charlie's voice snapped him out of his thoughts, and the king looked at his daughter "Ah! Char-Char, sorry heh, good morning!" he said with his usual fake cheery voice.

"Ummm morning... did you sleep well?" Charlie asked casually.

"Like a baby~" he stretched a bit, what's for breakfast?

"Oh! well we're making bacon and eggs, for lunch we will have vegetable stew and at night Alastor said he was going to make jambalaya for everyone" Charlie explained, guiding his father to the kitchen.

"Really? Bambi is going to make dinner?" he said looking at the red demon, who even still playing with the maid gave him a little glare.

"Daaaaaad, i told you to call him by his name, i don't want another fight" Charlie said annoyed.

"Heheh, alright alright... i don't promise anything tho~" Lucifer smirked.

Charlie only rolled her eyes, Alastor and Lucifer always argued, it was an everyday thing now, they always argued about something and it almost always ended in a fight she had to break off.

Alastor scoffed for a moment looking towards the king, but he let it slide before continuing tickling a bit more and then released the little maid. Niffty ended in a giggly puddle sitting by his side.

-------------------------------------

The day continued without so much of a fuss except Lucifer and Alastor's bickering and Angel Dust flirting, before anyone could notice, it was almost night time.

"UFFFF!" Charlie sighed, leaving some papers aside and looking at her girlfriend "Today was surprisingly nice and quiet, there was no explosions or broken walls"

"Well that's true, everyone behaved today--"

BOOM! the whole place trembled a little, both girls looked at each other.

"We spoke too soon" Vaggie growled.

"Now what??" Charlie shouted.

Both went running towards the noise, encountering others who went to check as well, just to see Alastor sending his tentacles everywhere trying to hit or catch a white snake.

"What is going on here!?" exclaimed Charlie.

"Charlie my dear! what happens is that this snake devoured the shrimps i had for today's dinner, i can't make jambalaya anymore!" even if he was smiling, Alastor was pissed as hell, still trying to catch him.

"AWW come on busboy~! they were there and i had to eat them!" the little snake cackled, easily slipping out the tentacles grasp.

But suddenly a hand caught him by the tail and lifted him, Lucifer blinked and grew nervous when he saw a very angry princess of hell up close his face.

"Dad that was not nice, that was for everyone's dinner!" she said sternly.

"I'm pretty sure he already knew that my dear, he just wanted an excuse to mess with me" the red deer growled, his tentacles went away and walked towards the two.

"Wait then what are we going to eat for dinner?" asked Angel.

Charlie sighed, and took out some cash "Angel, Husk, Niffty and Vaggie please go buy some takeout for dinner" Charlie declared.

"Oh! to think we have to replace my jambalaya for takeout!" said a highly offended Alastor.

The designed group left, leaving the princess, the king and the radio host alone in the hotel.

"Weeeeell since it's already solved..." Lucifer started to say, about to slither away, just to have his daughter tighten her grip on his tail "ACK!"

"Oh no mister, you need a punishment alright, messing up with dinner like that?" said Charlie, and she felt a hand on her shoulder "huh?"

"Allow me my dear~" chuckled Alastor, i think i have the perfect punishment for your majesty.

Charlie was curious, and gave the snake to the red deer, Lucifer growled and tried to bite him but a strong grip on the base of his head and his tail rendered immobile.

"R-release me at once busboy!" he tried to command, just to be ignored.

"Charlie, your father seemed eager all day to get on my nerves to have a laugh at my expense, what about we help him?"

"What do you mean?"

"He was watching how i was playing with Niffty in the morning, and so much he wants to have a laugh? we can do the same to him" Alastor smirked.

Oh no, Lucifer gulped, he knew what he meant, and it was no secret for Charlie he was ticklish as hell, she had seen him in the receiving end before, by her mom, the deadly sins, even Razzle and Dazzle.

Charlie understood and brightened, smiling, this could actually be beneficial at the end! knowing how sad her father has been, maybe this was exactly what he needed to cheer up!

"What a great idea Alastor!" she exclaimed, much to Lucifer's dismay "Dad, you have behaved poorly today, so please change back to normal and face the consequences" she said in her best authoritarian voice.

Too bad the only thing she managed is to appear cute in front of his father and the radio demon.

"Like i would! be serious, do you think i would change back knowing you're going to tickle me?" the snake said.

"Daaaaaad!" Charlie protested.

"Ah such a shame, seems i'll have to force you to turn back my lord" Alastor said, dropping to sit on the carpet comfortably, still holding Lucifer.

Charlie blinked and followed, sitting beside him "How are you going to do it Alastor?"

"A snake is pretty much sensitive everywhere, though the scales make it a bit more difficult" commented the red deer.

"HAH! guess i win then" Lucifer smirks, sticking his tongue out at the two.

"HOWEVER,~! there's a niiiice little weak spot we can exploit, my dear" Alastor chuckled in amusement seeing the king's smirk drop "And is riiiiiiight..."

"B-busboy i swear to my father, don't you dare! i'm warning YYYAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Lucifer let out an uncharacteristically high-pitched squeal when he felt two fingers pinch repeatedly at the back of his neck. Ok, never in existence has ever tried to tickle him as a snake, so he wasn't at all prepared for the surprisingly strong ticklish sensations that resulted from the attack. Not to mention the deer demon's pointy claws were absolutely devastating and quick to deal the most agonizing session possible.

"A-ALASTOR!" the white snake cried out, his tail lashing out wildly without being able to get free. "HEHEHEHEHAHAHAHAHA! ST-STOP THAHAHAHAHAT!"

"OH HOOOO~! So the king does know my name~! not busboy, nor Bambi, nor bellhop!" he chuckled, turning to look at the princess by his side "Seems his memory is working just fine my dear~"

Charlie giggled a bit, seeing her father in such predicament "I'm sorry dad, but you had this coming, you know there's consequences for bad actions"

"Well said my dear~" Alastor was smirking widely looking at the snake in his hands "Bad luck for you, i used to hunt and eat snakes while alive so i know a lot about them, now behave and turn back to your normal form, or i can stay here aaaaaaall day"

Oh no, Lucifer's eyes widened as he was still laughing and squirming, he couldn't stand even five minutes of being tickled like this, much less could take a whole day before being driven completely insane, he couldn't even concentrate to turn into a different animal. Better just turn back and get the punishment over with.

With a loud POOF of red smoke and glitter, the king of hell laid there across the red deer's lap, taking a breath and a break now that Alastor let him go, but that was his downfall. Alastor snapped his fingers, and Lucifer gasped when a tentacle came out and wrapped itself under his arms, preventing him from protecting his torso. The king looked at his daughter and the radio demon, smiling sheepishly when they smirked at him.

"N-now now, we can talk about this" the king giggled nervously, seeing Alastor giving him a sinister smile and Charlie moving and sitting on his knees facing his hooves, to prevent him from kicking.

"Ohhh no can do your majesty~! specially because we still haven't heard a single "sorry" from you!" the deer wriggled his claws in front of him.

Lucifer gulped, his pride too big to give up just yet, he then tries to get into his demonic form but it was useless, his wings couldn't spread because of the tentacle, and his horns and tail did nothing to help. He then yelped and started giggling when he felt a finger poking around his ribs. But even giggling he looked at the red demon with a challenging look.

"N-nehehehehehever!" he managed to say while giggling.

"Oh well, suit yourself sir, Charlie my dear your father is sooooo stubborn! what do you say if we help him come up with the right words for an apology~?"

"Sounds good to me Alastor" she said in a fake angry tone, making evident how amused she was for the whole ordeal.

"Splendid~!" he looks at the nervous king "Let's start with these cute ribs of your sir~"

Lucifer snickered and squirmed without being able to break free, refusing to keep giving that deer what he wanted, but damn it was HARD! those single pointy claws poking and prodding around his ribs, he started giggling almost inmediatly.

"B-busboy, stohohop!" he giggled. "I-I don't like being tihihihickled!"

"Perhaps I'll stop once you apologize for your behaviour~" the radio demon bargained.

"N-No way," Lucifer blurted out "it's gonna t-tahahake a lot more than a fehehew t-t-tickles to break mehehehe!"

"Very well, your choice sir~!"

Alastor then immediately dug his fingers through Lucifer's shirt into his ribs, causing him to snort and giggle loudly as his senses were overloaded for a split second but still refusing to laugh, his fist hitting a few times against the tentacle. Great day to use clothes that didn't protected him at all, huh?

"Being a stubborn wiggly snake, hmm~? Holding it down will only be worse for you my lord” Alastor chuckled, adoring seeing the king like that “Perhaps I should give you a little incentive?"

"S-shuhuhuhuhut up!" Lucifer managed to say between giggles, not knowing it was about to get worse.

Alastor leaned his face a bit closer to Lucifer, without warning him before hand, his claws went to scribble over the king's soft belly.

"Coochie coochie coo~” Alastor cooed at him.

That did it, in no time at all, he burst out laughing and thrashing, his belly being too sensitive to stand the deer demon's claws, trying desperately to reach his arms down to protect himself but the tentacle prevented him to do so.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! ST-STAHAHAHAP THAT! N-NOT THEHEHEHERE" he cackled, hearing his daughter giggle at his predicament "C-CHARLIE HELP MEHEHEHEHE!"

"No can-do dad, you just have to apologize" Charlie said, giggling softly.

"NEHEHEHEHEVEEEEER!" he was still acting stubborn, but what the hell, this was actually fun! to just laugh and let go, it felt good!

Alastor growled, smiling evilly "Charlie my dear, what do you say if we take it up a notch~?"

Charlie then gasped, giggly, knowing what he meant "Of course my good sir!"

Lucifer didn't even had time to ask what they were planning, but the moment he felt a devious claw plunge into his belly button and wiggle, and his hooves being held down while fingers started scritching up and down, he lost it.

"NOHOHOHOHOHOOO! OHOHOHOHOHO MY GAHAHAHAHAHAD, STAHAHAHAHAHAHAP! WAHA-AAAIIEEE- WAHAHAAAAA- AHAHAHAHA!!" the king cackled and screeched at the intense ticklish sensation, trying to fight with everything he had to free himself from his bonds, but it was no use, he quickly was getting low on stamina.

"Ohhhh hoho! seems like a found a magic button that makes you laugh like a maniac~!" Alastor chuckled, his finger wiggling mercilessly in Lucifer's navel, while his other hand was alternating between scribbling and pinching all over his belly.

Charlie then heard something else in between her father's shrill laughter, she looked back and almost squealed from what she saw: her father's tail was thumping against the carpet vigorously. So, despite his protests, he was really enjoying himself!

But even Lucifer had a limit, and as much fun it was. His hands slapped weakly against the tentacle as tears began swelling up on the corners of his tightly-shut eyes. It was when Alastor leaned down and blew a giant raspberry over his navel and then started nibbling and growling playfully all over his belly that he decided to surrender.

He gave a high pitched squeal, "AHAHAHAHAHA! PLEASE STAHAHAHAHAP! I'M SORRY! I'M SO SAHAHAHAHARRY! MERCY, PLEHEHEHEHEASE, PLEEEEEASE!"

"Hmm~" Alastor mused, pinching all over the soft and sensitive belly, he turns to see the princess "Do you think is enough apology dear~?"

Charlie giggled, stopping her attack and leaving her dad's poor hooves alone "Yes Alastor, cease fire, he's had enough~" she declared.

The radio demon complied, stopping himself and snapping his fingers, the tentacle ceasing from existence and leaving the king in the carpet, Lucifer was giggling softly, his hands trying to rub away the ghost of the tickles. His hair was messy, he was tired and a mess, but... he looked genuinely happy.

"There your majesty, was that so hard~?" Alastor chuckled.

"Sorry dad, but you had it coming~" Charlie said, smiling.

"Y-you two are evil" Lucifer managed to say between giggles and panting.

"Why thank you my good sir! that's a compliment for me~" the radio demon laughed.

-------------------------------------

Again, in the dead of the night, the princess was taking her nightly stroll, and curiously went to check on her father. He was already asleep, but Charlie still was careful to not disturb him as she checked on him... she saw the medicine bottle in the night stand, and took it... her smile and joy could barely be contained when she saw the five pills were still there, meaning her father didn't take any of them that night. And the king was asleep, with a happy smile on his face, looking so peaceful.

Charlie left the bottle, this time putting a blanket over her sleeping father and went out, shutting the door quietly behind her. She maybe couldn't bring her mother back, but she was going to make sure her father gets better, and not leave him alone again.

Reploids having some fun

By Witch Anon

Summary: Axl drags X into making the stoic bot called Zero to laugh and have fun.

Warnings: This is a tickling fanfic, nothing sexual, tickle and fluff, if you don't like, don't read.

It was a fine day in the Maverick Hunter Head Quarters (MHHQ), patrols were deployed like always on the lookout for mavericks or to assist humans in different tasks, training sessions were taking place in the several training rooms, lots and lots of paperwork, it was a normal day. Even though for anyone would be a boring day, for the reploids was good enough, normal days like these were signal that no mavericks were causing trouble or anything more serious or dangerous was going on, days like these were just peaceful.

In the training room things were active as usual, several junior hunters were in target practice, others in close combat, each team following the instructions of their superiors. Certain blue bot named X was doing just that, supervising his team while they were shooting targets with their busters.

"Alright team, cease fire!" orders X, the team instantly obeyed and looked at their superior "You're doing just great, we can take a 10-minute break"

The reploids answered with a loud "Yes sir!", glad to have a little break to recharge and talk among themselves. X exchanged a few words with them, answering a couple of questions and suggesting one to re-calibrate their buster. But something caught his eye.

Axl, the junior hunter was there, he was supposed to be in the next training room with his team, what was he doing there? He looked like was concentrated looking at something in the room, while drinking water from a bottle. X walked over, noticing how Axl was so concentrated in whatever he was looking that he didn't even notice the elder hunter approaching. The blue hunter just chuckled, shaking his head softly as he approached.

"If you keep concentrating like that you're going to overheat" he warned once he was really close.

The young reploid gave a shriek and a little jump, clearly not expecting anyone.

"Holy motherboard, X! why don't you wear a bell or something?" said Axl mildly annoyed, with a hand over his chest plate like if he was having a heart attack, making X chuckle a bit more.

"Care to explain why are you here and not in training?" said X, crossing his arms.

"They gave us a 15 minute break" answered Axl "And I wanted to see how you guys were doing over here"

"Yeah well, you sure were concentrated over here, what were you watching?"

"Hm? oh! I was looking at Zero" Axl points to the other end of the room.

X looks over were Axl is pointing, and sure enough, there was Zero, the crimson hunter, moving his Z Saber with expertise, teaching his own team the movements, the young reploids using simple metal bars to train, not being mature enough to own their sabers yet.

"Oh yeah" said X after a minute of watching "He asked me if it was okay if we shared the room today… but I doubt that's the only reason you were looking at him so intensely, what, are you planning on joining his team or something? you know he is pretty strict"

"Do I look like a kamikaze bot? of course not, besides, you know my only weapon of choice are these beauties~" he smirks, pulling out his twin pistols, making them spin and putting them away like if he was a cowboy "Nah, I was looking at him because… well… "

"Yes?"

"Well… be honest with me X, have you ever seen Zero happy? he is always too serious, too strict, scary even when he is angry… have you ever seen him you know, laugh or something?" asked the young reploid, looking over to the blue hunter.

X blinked, looking at Axl, actually having a bit of trouble to remember if he ever saw Zero actually laughing or easy going.

"I…. don't really remember, i mean, he has his moments like any other bot here of course" said X, not really sure.

"But moments were he wasn’t teasing others or being polite laughing at Lifesaver's bad jokes" said Axl.

"… alright you have a point there" said X with a sigh "but what about it?"

"Well that can't be good, maybe he just needs a little push? you know, have fun? like laughing for real" explained the young reploid.

"Well… ok, but how do you plan to do that" asked X.

Axl actually smirked, in a way that told X that whatever he was thinking was a bad idea and he should run.

"I might have a good idea, we can just…" and he gets closer to X to whisper to his ear.

X listened for a second and then looked at the young reploid with a surprised face, he couldn't be serious.

"Ok I’ve heard several bad ideas from you with this takes the energy tank" said X.

"Aww come on X! it could work!"

"Axl you're only going to manage to make him angry at us for daring to do that stunt on him"

"You don't know that! I’m sure it's a great idea and it could work!"

"And why are you so sure? Remember that he is not a reploid like you Axl, what if he is built a different way?"

"I already thought on that! and the answer is simple hehehe, you're not a reploid either, and it works with you, am i right?"

X was going to reply but he couldn't, he had nothing to counter, the junior reploid was right. He let out a sigh and placed a hand over his face.

"Soooooo are you going to help me? pweeeeease?" asked Axl, doing the puppy eyes thing, and it melted the elder bot.

"…. I am going to regret this" groaned X "Alright alright I’ll help you"

"AWESOME!" Axl threw a fist on the air.

"When are you planning to do it? i hope you don't say right now, in front of everyone he is going to murder us" warned the blue bot.

"Of course not, we can do it tonight, if I’m not mistaken, he often comes to the training rooms past midnight while everyone else is sleeping so he can train alone and without distractions, we can do it then" explained the young reploid, already a bit giddy for what was coming.

"Alright, tonight past midnight, got it" sighed the elder bot, already regretting his life decisions "Now go back to training, the break i gave is almost over"

"Right right" Axl waved a hand, walking to the exit "See ya tonight partner" he smirked, going out.

X just stood there, looking at the door the young reploid went through, wondering if he was going to get out alive that night.

As the day went by, training sessions came and went, reports were made, patrols were deployed and arrived without mayor incident, until as the moon was rising, the day reploids were retiring to their rooms to rest for the night, and the MHHQ was slowly getting void of movement, only the night guards reploids who were on alert in case of any emergency, but they were a few, asides from that, the place was in sleep mode.

However, back in the training room area, inside one of the rooms could be heard some intense battle, it was none other than Zero, the sword wielding reploid, who was fighting holographic enemies, swinging his beam sword with such skill, not missing any targets, counterattacking when was right and overall just destroying his targets. The simulation comes to an end, Zero sighed and went to check his score.

“Tsk, 98% accuracy… I can do better than that” he said more to himself, putting his Z saber away.

“Again training late Zero?”

The crimson hunter turned to see X and Axl who just entered the room, the sliding door closing behind them.

“Heh, you know me, is never too much training for me” said Zero, turning off the program and fully turning to see them “But what are you two doing here? I thought you both were sleeping by now”

“Well uhhh” X started saying, not really knowing what excuse to tell, he then felt Axl giving him a little hit with his elbow “I-I needed to fill some more reports, and I got too caught up into them hehe”

“And I didn’t want to go to sleep yet” smiled Axl “I was walking in the hallways when I saw X and just went along with him, we just happen to walk by and heard you”

Zero raised an eyebrow, not entirely believing them but, he just nodded.

“So how much was your score?” asked Axl casually.

“Well… 98%, I still have to work on it” sighed Zero, closing his eyes.

“HA, I bet I can beat that~” replied the young hunter, very smug.

Zero actually gave him an incredulous look “Yeah right, Axl do I have to remind you your previous score? It was 70%”

Axl pouted “That was forever ago”

“It was last week” said X, smirking at the kid.

“ACK! X! what side are you?” cried Axl.

Both elder bots chuckled.

“Look Axl, no offense but nor you or X could get more than a 50% on this training session, it’s aimed only to close combat hunters, and everyone knows shooting type hunters can’t do well in close combat” Zero said in a matter-of-fact voice, shrugging.

“Oh wait excuse me Zero? You know I can do well” X said, like taking offense but it was obvious he was just pretending and more in a playful manner.

“Yeah but no better than me” smirked Zero.

“Ok old man, you’re asking for it!” said Axl, smirking “I bet me and X can take you down without buster or guns”

“HAH! And how are you planning to do that?” asked Zero, not taking it seriously.

Axl exchanged a knowing look with X, he gulped, knowing it was time.

“Weeeeeeell now that you ask” started Axl but suddenly he cried out “NOW X”

Everything went too fast, and the fact that the crimson hunter didn't expect it played in the favor of the other two bots. When he was able to comprehend what just happened, he was laying on the training room's floor, face up, without being able to lower his hands and his head resting on something soft, X used the abilities in close combat the red hunter taught him to catch him, he was on the floor too, with his arms hugging Zero's right arm and with his legs hugging his left arm in a lock, Zero was resting his head on the blue bot's stomach. Axl was sitting on his legs, smirking at the red hunter, it worked! Zero was helpless.

"Sooooo you were saying that reploids build for shooting can't perform well in close combat?" taunted the young reploid.

Zero groaned a bit, trying to get free, but X's hold was solid, he wasn’t going to get away so easily "Alright alright, you guys win, now let me up!"

"Nuh uh!" giggled Axl, catching Zero's attention "You see, now that we're here, there's something i wanted to test about you"

"Huh? what is it? and is necessary to hold me here?" asked the red bot, annoyed.

"We don't know, depends on how much you squirm after i do this" giggled Axl, reaching with his hand forward.

Before Zero could ask Axl what did he meant, he felt something that made him go frozen, Axel was oh so slowly dragging a finger in circles around the red hunter's stomach. Zero twitched a bit, a very silent snicker escaping his throat, that he tried to silence, but too bad, it didn't go unnoticed by the other two bots.

Axl smiled wide "Ohhhhh what's this?? Zero are you ticklish by any chance?" he asked in amusement.

Zero then realized what was going on and tried his best to control himself and not laugh, but damn! more of those blasted snickers escaped when he felt the young reploid poking all around his stomach, he squirmed a bit against X's hold, but to no avail, said bot in question couldn't believe it, his best friend was ticklish! he was just holding back.

"Come ooooon~ we know you want to lauuuuugh~ just let it out!" said Axl in an almost sing-a-song voice.

He was poking all around the older bot's stomach, smirking as he watched him twitch, jump and squirm in his place. Zero let out a few more snickers, he bit his lip and tried to hold his breath to not make any more sounds, but it was obvious he was close to break.

"Pffft! D-don't!" the red hunter managed to say in his effort to not laugh, of course he was ticklish! it was just nobody ever dared to do it at all, and he was too proud to show it, but his pride was going to a drain right now, his lips were starting to curl into an involuntary grin.

"There's no use in hiding it anymore Zero! just laugh, you know you wanna" giggled the young reploid "You need it anyways, you're always so serious, just have fun for once in a while!"

Zero was going to say something in reply, but at that moment, Axl decided to take him by surprise and started scribbling all ten fingers on his sides and his lower ribs that weren't covered by his chest plate. It was all that was needed, that overloaded Zero's senses for a split second and he exploded in loud belly laughter, surprising both bots there with him.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA NOHOHOHOHO!!" shrieked Zero, squirming in his place and trying hard to get free.

"HAH! i told you X! he is ticklish!" Axl said triumphantly at the blue bot, who couldn't help to be amused by the sight of his best friend just laughing that loud.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA NAHAHAT THERE!" Zero mentally thanked that no one else was there to see him in that predicament, such sigh would be embarrassing to explain “AXL!! P-PLEASE! I-IT TICKLES TOO MUHUHUHUHUHUHUCH!!”

"Ohhh i found a good spot huh?" Axl taunted, focusing on scribbling over Zero's lower ribs, it seemed like that was his weak spot since he squirmed and laughed like crazy, kicking at the air behind the young reploid "OH yeeees is a fun spot hereeee~!" he taunted in a fake evil voice.

X couldn't help to giggle a little, Zero's laughter was as rare as contagious "Now Axl play nice, don't be mean with him" warned the blue bot.

“BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! OH, STOP!! I-IT TICKLES SO MUCH!!” Zero howled, thrashing around in X grip, he shook his head from side to side and squirmed as hard as he could to try to buck off Axl, without success "Y-YOU TWO ARE SO DEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEAD!"

"Ohhhh how scary! Nah, you know you're not easily taken seriously when you're laughing like that" Axl stuck out his tongue at the elder hunter, who in growing desperation started to stomp his feet behind the younger one "But look at the bright side! you're having fun! can't deny it, now admit it!"

"N-NEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEVER!" crackled Zero, still howling with laughter.

Axl let out a playful growl "Oh yeah? we will see now" he stopped the tickling.

Zero laid there, panting softly and giggling, still feeling the tingling sensation over his midsection, too busy recovering to notice what Axl was doing. Said reploid turned around, taking advantage of Zero catching his breath, sat on his legs with his back turned to him, with one arm holding the top of Zero's feet to prevent them from moving too much, Axl smirked as he held his free hand and wiggled his fingers so Zero could watch him.

Zero gasped "N-no no no no don't you dare!" he panicked, knowing full well what was going to happen.

Axl giggled "Yes i dare! unless you admit you're having fun!"

Zero growled at him "NEVER!"

Axl shrugged "Your funeral then"

The young reploid didn't wanted any more time and started scribbling his fingers all over the elder reploid's foot, and the result was priceless.

"AAAIIIIIIEEEEEEAHAHAHAHA!" it sounded like a shriek and a cackle, which surprised Axl and X, but continued attacking "NOHOHOHOHOHOHO! NAHAHAT THEHEHEHEHEHEHERE!" Zero howled, his squirming so bad that it was starting to slip X's grip, but he couldn't help it as Axl attacked his death spot.

Even covered in armor, his feet were quite sensitive, normally his systems (and all reploids') had sensors that turned off the sensitivity when stepping on something dangerous, like lava, ice, broken glass, etc, but since Zero wasn’t in real danger, he could feel everything, each cursed digits of Axl's scribbling and scratching all over his feet, starting to drive him crazy, but he would die first before admitting defeat.

"Admit it Zeroooo~!" taunted Axl, focusing on a particularly sensitive spot over the soles, making Zero squeal "Admit you're having fun, we can do this all night!"

“AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAXL!!” Zero screamed, throwing his head back with crackles “I-I CAN’T TAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAKE IT!!” Axl shook his head no, smirking "Coochie, coochie, coo~!" he teased, as Zero continued to squirm and scream with laughter "Say it!"

Zero was about to hit his breaking point, he couldn't give up! his pride was too big.

He then did the unthinkable.

He took all the strength that was left on him to make a sudden movement, jerking his right arm out of X grip, who was weakened by Zero's constant struggles, managing to set his arm free, and before the blue hunter could even process what was happening, Zero turned as much as he could, taking a deep breath and blowing the biggest raspberry right in the center of the bot's belly.

“EEEYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!" X let out an unholy squeal followed by a high-pitched laughter, letting go of Zero right that instant, setting him free.

Axl stopped and turned to see what was going on, but the red hunter was fast, and at the same time Axl realized what was happening, he was grabbed and tossed gently right along X, who was still giggling and clutching his belly. Both bots were trapped by a very angry crimson hunter, who held them down with both hands. X and Axl gulped, knowing by Zero's evil smirk that they were pretty much dead.

"W-wait Zero, i-it was a joke! a light hearted joke!" said Axl very nervous and trying to squirm away, but Zero help down tightly.

"C-come on Zero it w-was all in good fun you know?" tried to say X, nervous as well.

"Ohhh it was so funny for you two huh?" Zero said with a predatory glint, smirking at the two "Sooo much funny huh?" he cracked his knuckles, making the other two shiver "But you know, it's selfish of me to be the only one laughing, so let's fix that"

"N-now now, there's no need foHOHOHOHOHO NAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!" X let out a crackle when he felt Zero's hand starting to scribble all over his belly.

Axl didn't had time to even say anything either as the other hand of the red hunter attacked him in the same way, now both bots laughing hard and squirming like fishes out of the water, Zero just chuckled evilly, sitting on them to not let them escape and keeping up the attack, scribbling, squeezing and poking all over, keeping the two in stitches.

"Z-ZERO WE'RE SOHOHOHOHORRYYYYYY!" screamed Axl between fits of laughter, feeling zero wiggle his fingers over his lower ribs "NAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!"

"Better save your breaths" Zero chuckled "You're going to need it"

For at least 20 minutes the sounds of hysterical laughter boomed in the training room, squeals and child-like giggling, pleads and cries for mercy, until after a long while, it stopped.

X and Axl were reduced to a giggling pile on the floor of the training room, Zero was sitting on the floor, dusting his hands.

"Now let's hope you kids learned your lesson" said Zero, smirking and crossing his arms, looking at the two.

"N-never pulling that stunt on you again" giggled X, slowly recovering his breath.

"E-ever again" giggled Axl, in the same state as X.

"You know" Zero offered a hand over to X, who took it to start to sit "I believe Axl would dare to do such thing, but you X? this is new"

X, slowly sitting with the help of Zero "Yeah well, Axl was right in one thing tho, you always seem so serious and angry, i guess i just wanted to see you happy?" X rubbed the back of his neck, sheepishly.

"I appreciate the thought and the concern, but there are better ways" sighed Zero… and then smirked, pulling X in a headlock and giving him a noogie "AND next time you try to do that again, i won't be as merciful!" he smirked.

Axl smiled seeing the blue reploid laugh and squirm on Zero's grip "Oh come on! Zero you have to admit, it was fun! i know you at least had a bit of fun"

Zero stopped and released a giggling X, crossing his arms "…" he groans "fineee fine fine ok!… it was childish… but it was fun" he stated "There, you happy?"

Axl threw his fist up in victory with a loud “YEAH”, so fast that he lost balance a couple of seconds later and fell sitting between the X and Zero, making the two elder bots chuckle a bit. Axl could be reckless and crazy sometimes but he was a good kid, and both bots knew it.

“One of these days those crazy ideas of yours will get us in trouble Axl” smirked X as he put his hand over Axl helmet as if he was ruffling his hair.
