“Yuki, I want to spar!” called Kyo. Yuki put down his book and sighed. “No matter how many times you challenge me, you should know that you’re always going to lose.” “Not this time I won’t!” Kyo retorted. “Fine.” Yuki replied. He stood up…and was completely caught off guard when Kyo tackled him to the ground, bringing out some rope and tying his wrists and ankles. “Hey! What are you doing?” Yuki asked in surprise. He involuntarily shuddered when Kyo brought out a fluffy white feather. Kyo smirked. “I can finally get revenge…” Kyo walked over to Yuki’s feet and started pulling off his shoes. Yuki mentally sighed in relief. Lucky for him, his feet weren’t that ticklish. Once Kyo had relieved Yuki of his shoes, he started flicking the feather around Yuki’s foot. Yuki merely gritted his teeth and turned his head away. Kyo frowned. He’d always anticipated Yuki to be ticklish…but from the lack of reaction he was getting, it didn’t seem likely. Kyo placed the feather to one side, thinking about what to do. Maybe he should try the upper body… He grinned. Yuki didn’t like that look. He managed to loosen the ropes just enough to slip out…then used the ropes to tie Kyo up. “What the?” Kyo struggled, but there was no escape…for now. Yuki smiled at him…not a very nice smile, Kyo thought…then began to take off Kyo’s own shoes and socks. Kyo became nervous. He was insanely ticklish on his feet. Yuki picked up the feather Kyo had been using earlier and traced figure eights on Kyo’s feet, causing the poor boy to throw back his head and laugh helplessly. “Tickle tickle, Kyo.” Yuki taunted, abandoning the feather and picking up a hairbrush. He brushed it up and down Kyo’s soles, relishing in Kyo’s laughter.  “PLEEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHESE! NOHOHOHOHO MOHOHOHOHORE!” Kyo begged. Yuki enjoyed tickling the youth, but didn’t want to hurt him. He untied the boy, allowing him to stand and catch his breath. “So, I’ve found your ticklish spot. I bet you’re wondering where mine is, yes?” Kyo nodded, still catching his breath. “Fine. I’ll give you thirty minutes. I promise not to struggle too much.” “Really?” Kyo asked in surprise. Yuki nodded. Kyo lifted up Yuki’s shirt a little, just enough to reveal his stomach. He looked at Yuki as if asking him a question, and Yuki nodded his assent. Kyo started tickling Yuki’s stomach. Yuki started to laugh, a sweet laughter that Kyo instantly wanted to hear more of. He tickled a bit harder, making Yuki laugh more. Kyo drank it in hungrily. When he looked at Yuki again, tears of laughter were streaming from his eyes. Kyo stopped. Yuki sat up, gasping for air. “That was fun.” he finally said, catching his breath. “It was, wasn’t it? We’ve got to do that again…and soon.” Kyo said with a smile. He got up and left. Yuki watched him walk away. “Oh, it’s going to happen again, Kyo…” he whispered to himself. “Much sooner than you think.”
