☕️ 🍮 Tickletober: Death Spot 🍮☕️ - You Stopped at Red, and that’s Enough
Tokoyami had a habit of getting too absorbed in his work. This wasn’t all bad, for him. But it was bad, sometimes, for Dark Shadow.
Hence why during this particular afternoon - as he was attempting to finish his homework - Dark Shadow decided to be a nuisance.
Tomoyami huffed as the creature nudged at him and purred and tried to snuggle with him.
It cooed and purred happily, whining when Tokoyami tensed up and glared at his paper.
“Not now, Dark Shadow!” The boy scolded.
Dark Shadow huffed. “How much longer do you have left on your homework?”
“I just this last essay. Why?”
“Good! Because it means I can do this!”
Dark Shadow grabbed his wrists but Tokoyami knew what was coming and tried to push back against him. The two wrestled for a while, rolling around on the carpet, until Dark Shadow got Tokoyami sitting with his back against the couch again. The entity wrapped itself around him and lifted the boy’s arms above his head, then sprouted two other arms to tickle Tokoyami’s armpits, his very worst spot.
Tokoyami broke immediately, not even attempting to be stoic. “GAHAHAHAHAHAAA! DAHAHAHAHARK SHAHAHAHADOW NOHOHOHOHOHO!”
“Tickle, tickle!” It teased.
“WHY AHAHAHAHARE YOU DOHOHOHOING THIHIHIHIS?”
“Because you’ve been ignoring me! Squawk!”
Tokoyami shrieked with laughter, kicking his legs in ticklish glee at the flurry of soft tickly fingers and gentle claws scribbling all over his armpits.
“AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA! I’M SOHOHOHOHORRY!”
Dark Shadow nipped at him, albeit gently. “You’d better be!”
“I AHAHAHAHAM! I AHAHAHAHAM! I PROHOHOHOMISE! I *CHIRP* AHAHAM!”
Tears of laughter started to form in his eyes and his hysterical laughter started blend into loud chirps and chortles.
Uraraka and Izuku walked by, wondering what all the noise was about, then laughed to see such a sight.
“HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHELP!” Tokoyami shrieked, almost at his limit.
“Dark Shadow! Stop it!” Uraraka said, rushing over and kneeling next to her cackling crush. “Can’t you see he’s had enough?”
As if to emphasize her point, Tokoyami managed to get a, “REHEHEHEHEHED!” out through his laughter as a last resort, his giddy giggle fueled brain completely forgetting that was an option at this point.
Dark Shadow stopped and retracted himself into Tokoyami immediately, feeling guilty.
Uraraka gently pet Tokoyami’s face and rubbed his back, comforting him, while Izuku rushed to get him some water.
“Now what on earth was all that about?” she asked. “Why did Dark Shadow tickle you so hard?”
“Are you okay Tokoyami?” Izuku asked, handing him the water.
Tokoyami caught his breath, still chuckling a bit. “Quite ahahahalright,” he managed to say, then took a big deep breath in, and out.
“I believe Dark Shadow was extracting his revenge on me for ignoring him. I have been rather absorbed in my work lately.”
“Oh man,” Izuku said. “And when he tried to get your attention you pushed him away or ignored him even further?”
“Yes, I’m afraid so. Dark Shadow? Would you come out here please?”
“No!” The entity said, muffled. “You’ll yell at me!”
“Dark Shadow, sweetie, I promise, no one’s going to yell at you.”
The entity slowly came out, it’s ears down and it’s eyes sad. Looking like a puppy with it’s tail between it’s legs.
Tokoyami reached out and petted it gently. “I’m sorry I’ve been ignoring you and neglecting you lately. Forgive me?”
The entity nodded and made a sad little noise. “I’m sorry I went too far…” it murmured.
“While some communication beforehand would have been nice, you didn’t go too far. You stopped when I said Red, and that’s enough. I promise. Shadow,” he cooed, scratching under his chin and making it giggle. “Don’t look so sad now, everything’s alright, and there’s nothing to be sad about.”
Despite it’s giggling it still looked a little sad. Tokoyami glanced at the others. “I think Dark Shadow could use some cheering up, don’t you?”
They nodded in agreement - and Dark Shadow hid it’s face behind his hands, though it was smiling.
A few moments later, Dark Shadow was smiling, laughing, chirping and purring as it was gently and lovingly tickled by it’s friends. And then when they stopped it rushed at Tokoyami and gave him a big hug.
Tokoyami chuckled and hugged the entity back. “I do care for you, you know,” he said. “Even if I get distracted sometimes.”
Dark Shadow purred in response and nuzzled his neck. “Love Fumi~” it cooed.
Tokoyami chuckled again at the childhood nickname it had given him. “I love you too, Dark Shadow,” he whispered, and hugged him all the more.
