Because I love you idiot

A fanfic for Varigo week

As enjoyable as working along side the royal scientist was, it certainly had draw backs. Like deadlines, the spawn of Satan. Hugo loved helping Varian with his job and would take on tasks himself or if requested, but this time he bit of far too much though he would never admit it.

"Honey, dinner's getting cold c'mon" Said Varian hopping down the stairs of the now shared lab.

"I'll be there soon"

"Liar"

"I'm not lying"-he flipped up his goggles with joking disdain- "what are you talking about"

"You say that every time but then you stay here and work until you pass out and then I have to bring you snacks later and drag you to bed and tuck you in cause you'we justa wil idiot bwaby-"

"man shut tf up" he said throwing a book and missing by 10 feet with Varian not even flinching

Picking up the book he flipped through it and sauntered over

"Well either way as the head~ scientist I order you to come eat with ur family"

He tossed the book onto the desk and resting his elbow on it got right up to his partners face

"or else"

"don't care. let me finish, I promise I'll be done soon, save me a plate" and like a bully from a cartoon he shoved him away by the forehead, holding him there at arms reach.

Varian, completely done with his loves' bs suddenly had a wonderfully terrible idea

all at once Hugo was shoved off his high ass horse by a single poke to his side. Varian in an earlier fit of annoyance had similarly figured out this weakness. Hugo was horrifically ticklish.

"Nononononononono plsplsplspls VARIAhahahahn" He yelped desperately while falling out of chair.

"If you were really sorry you'd give up and come eat with us"

"NEHEHEHEHEVER"

He was now lying on his back with Varian on top and despite his attempts at defense, his arms were just a little too thin and his torso a little too large for him to fully protect himself at any given point. His most ticklish areas were around his ribs and under arms so the second he got a chance, Varian immediately his hand under his arm.

"AAAAAHAHAH GEEHHEHEHET OOHOHUT"

"I can't my fingers are stuck"

"FUUHUHUHUCK OHOHHFFF"

"You're not being very nice right now, especially for someone who could be trapped like this all day. Unless you want to admit defeat and come get your food."

"FIHIHINE FIHIHINE PLEAAHAHASSSE"

Still sitting over him Varian watched as Hugo gathered his breath exhaustively. He really was quite adorable this way.

"Are you alright dear?" He said petting his loves' hair

"Yehehes. Oooh why do you always have to be so mean" he sighed

"Because I love you idiot"

They stared at each other a moment, Varian with adoration and Hugo secretly flustered though his partner could tell anyway. And right as Varian started to lean down to his face

"HEY"

Hugo shoved him to the side playfully, quickly got up, and ran upstairs.

"Imma beat you there"

"Nohoho you won't, get back here you bastard!"

But he did.

[fluff-a-nutter]

Empty Stomach

One of Varians' worst habits when it came to his work was remembering to take a minute to eat. He'd randomly forget all day and practically pass out before bed. This was actually a trait that him and Hugo both needed to work on but that didn't stop them from hypocritically harassing each other anyway. Today in particular had Hugo feeling a bit mischievious though.

Hugo and Varian just finished fairly productive day and were ready for bed. It was a welcomely cool evening, and a wonderful way to end a summer day. The typical frogs and nightly insects were going about their songs as all was finally calming. Inside, the two were dressed and groomed all ready for bed, especially Hugo.

"Vaaaariaaan" Hugo whined impatiently, "come to bed, you can do it later"

"I just want to write this down before i forget it"

"we've been doing math and shit all day, get ur ass over here"

A few seconds passed with the only sound besides the outdoor animals being Varians pen writing

"..."

"....."

"......... VARIAN"

"ALRIGHT, damn" he jumped "ur so antsy tonight"

"im just tired, now get over here" as he reached his arms out

Crawling across the bed Varian cuddled up next to his darling and settled into the embrace. They gently wrapped around one another in a great big hug. Hugo brought his hand up to Varians' hair and caressed him lovingly. Varian leaned into his chest, the fabric of his shirt had a comforting softness. As he closed his eyes he thought of his love, his home, some random experiments, and... wait.

"fuuuck, I haven't eaten yet"

"shit me neither"

"..."

"You should get a snack to split"

"why me, Hugo if ur want it so bad then get ur own food, im not even that hungry anyway"

"when's the last time you ate"

"uuuuuh" Varian paused in thought "like maybe six or seven or eight hours ago, but i feel fine"

"bullshit, c'mon we can get food together"

"its cozy here though, and so are you"

"Varian get off"

"i don't wanna"

As Hugo was trying to sit up Varian was pulling him down in a hug with all his weight, which admittedly wasn't much but still enough to hinder his partner. Varian seemed to enjoy being the annoying one for once. Though had he thought for more than a second about this plan in his tired state he would have remembered the other similar times and their dire consequences.

"AH, Huhuhugo nohohohoo ahaahahhahhaha"

"No what? im confused"

"ibiyboybapqahahaoauiuahahhpowheiunaisuahahahaha"

"hmm, must not be important"

Varian, now curled into a giggly ball, was desprately kicking his legs and swatting at Hugos' hands. Despite this, Hugo still managed to find his tickle spots and since Varian was much too busy squirming it was quite easy to find open points.

"Huuhuhuugohohooho ahahahaaahahhh AAAHHahahahhh"

"heh, Im barely even touching you"

"gehhehhett ohhohoohfff"

"mmmmmmmnah actually, youre too cute, I mean look at you. Cute lil face and ur smile and ur laugh and-"

"HUUUUGOHOOOHHOHO PLEAHAHHHHAHHSSSEHEHEH"

Hugo now had a hand on Varians' tummy, scratching pretty gently but he was much too ticklish there for it to matter.

"hmm"- Hugo thought for a minute- "only if you get up with me"

"FIHHIHIHIHNE FIHHIHIIHIINE"

"alright then"

Hugo moved his hands letting his partner finally gather his breathe, before dragging him into an apologizing hug, rubbing his back lovingly.

"are you ok"

"heheehe yeahaha, your soho mean, i hate u"

"hm, im sure"

They sat there resting for a few more minute before actually gettin up. And all the while Varian plotted revenge.

let me know if any of u want a follow up to this. maybe on the free day >:3

Lee!Varian hcs 🥺

He's so cute and there's not enough tickles for him ;-;

GASP!! YESYESYES THIS!!- Oh my gash you have no idea how excited I was to write these. Varian needs some love and silliness ☹️🩵 It’s a need I fear. But his not means so much to me let me tell ya…

🦝Varian Tkl Headcanons!🧪

80/20 Lee-Leaning Switch!

Ler!🪶

-Look me in the eyes and tell me otherwise that this boy isn’t the giggliest whilst being tickled. -He barley needs a poke to the side and he’s already gonna be red in the ears.

-It’s even worse if you wiggle your fingers at him. Eugene does this rather often just to pick at him sometimes mid conversation. Only if no one else is around of course he wouldn’t do that to him in public and really embarrass him. He’s sometimes a nice big brother.

-In other words, anticipation is killer for him.

-Speaking of Eugene he also flutters his fingers behind Varians ears whilst he least expects it to really get him to squeal.

-Immediately makes an effort to cover his mouth because he’s insecure about his laugh and smile. But it’s literally so cute, like boy stop ☹️💕

-“Hehey nohow we can tahalk about this right?- R-Rihight?- NOHO DONT”-

-Just backs away and hugging himself around his sides.

-He’s so shy he just covers his eyes with his goggles too.

-He’s really squirmy and doesn’t always know what to do with his hands. Will usually just hug onto his Ler and cling to them or something so he doesn’t get overwhelmed.

-HAS THE SILLIEST LAUGH EVER ISTG

-Like he’ll go from straight giggles to silly cackles in a matter of seconds. Lots of little squees and snorts tend to slip as well.

-His sides are his worst spot for him although doesn’t mind it all that much.

-His favorite spots gotta be his ears,tummy, and knees.

-He’ll purposefully let Rudiger just nuzzle into his belly or cling onto him and scurry if he’s in a DEEP Lee mood. Or if Rudiger is clearly cold. Varian runs warm and is like a heater. Good for the huggin.

-KISSES MAKE HIM RED AS RED CAN GET

-Tummy kisses and ya boy is squealing into his hands.

-He probably made some sort of tickle device at some point with feathers but will never show it to anyone.

-Nose scrunches and kickies if you get him really good. Could power a house with all that energy/silly. Cassandra definitely takes advantage of it.

-He can’t take it for very long unless he’s really hyper. Needs a lot of breaks to keep enjoying himself.

-Will just curl up into a little ball afterwards in your lap or hug onto you and hide his face.

-“thahank youhu….”

-Secretly loves being told he’s adorable and gets super smiley. His lil dimples show. Rapunzel tells him that a lot cuz she can tell how happy he gets.

Ler!🪶

-It is rather rare for him to get the courage to tickle someone but it does happen! Usually if he’s feeling cheeky or if asked to do so.

-“You want…me to? Ahaw…”

-He’ll ask a lot of questions to make sure his Lee is super comfy and okay with it. He just wants to make them happy. (The sweetie) Unless it’s Eugene. Then he’s “mean”.

-Gets a lot more playful and confident as time goes on.

-“I thought you asked for this, and you’re pushing me away? Come onnnn I see you smilingggg…..”

-LIKE DUDE STOP SMIRKING-

-He’s not big enough to really have someone in his lap but he’ll pull their head up and against his chest.

-He’s super super gentle because he’s afraid of hurting the Lee. Lots of squishes and spidering.

-Does the little keyboard poking thing or acts like he’s running an experiment.

-“Funny…your laughter seems to be going up when I press right here! Gohotta do further testing to see if my theory is correct!”

-Laughs with the Lee a lot because he can’t keep it in no matter how hard he tries. That goes for laughter at all, if he hears it he starts giggling too.

-Sometimes asks Rudiger to help him >:3

-Will give the nicest hugs afterwards and always making sure you’re still happy and enjoying yourself.

-All in all he’s just a sweetheart. That’s all there is to it.

hey I haven’t seen/heard from you lately, r u good?

Hey! Don’t worry I’m doing good! Just busy! :)

I got a lead role in a musical, so that’s been taking a lot of time haha ^^

I do have a couple requests in my asks!

I promise I’ll get to them, I just haven’t had writing time! <33

[fluff-a-nutter]

Uzi’s Cyn tail nibbling on her sides is a fun concept I had. Cyn seems a tad more friendly in that state and I think her and Uzi might start to moderately get along..

ouaggghh yes!

[fluff-a-nutter]

I made a tkl critter!

Tickle sprites are known for their playful and affectionate nature.

They’re very fuzzy and have little fluffy feet like a caterpillar, making them perfect little ticklers!

Sprites loves going after tummies the most, but they will nuzzle against necks too.

If you’re wearing a baggy shirt or sweater, they love crawling in and nuzzling unsuspecting people on their tummy because it’s nice and warm.

they’re also very affectionate and love snuggling.

[fluff-a-nutter]

kinda wanna design some lil tkl monster critters 👀

[fluff-a-nutter]

I am legit starving for some Lee!Varian he’s such a comfort character of mine I love him dearly. I just wanna wreck him silly and give him lots of hugs…GRGGRGEH HE MAKES ME SILLY-

[fluff-a-nutter]

Reblogging for the same reason as prev! Also because I miss Halloween.

“Sorry, sorry, ticklish.” He replied. Sally was more confused than ever. She couldn’t help but blurt out,

“How can a skeleton be ticklish?” Jack paused; Sally perked up. “Wait, you’re ticklish? You?” She watched Jack’s smile drop the moment she said it, as if realizing what he himself had just admitted. The master of fright suddenly looked very, very nervous.

[fluff-a-nutter]

oc doodle bc I’m sick again fhfhfjhg

if I were ever to make a more structured and intentional webtoon, I’d probably go with my lil mermaid’s story

it’s a story abt a mermaid who gets rescued by humans - but it’s a group of goofy ahh frat boys who live in a beach house. She ends up fitting right in and becoming besties with them and they find a way to involve her in their life, but it’s life in the perspective of goofy college guys lolll idk I think it’s a cute concept

"Are You Ticklish?" {Xaden x Violet}

Violet gasped as Xaden pinned her into the dirt once more. She shot him a glare, but he only smirked in response.

“Where’s your spunk, Violence?”

“Up your ass,” Violet hissed. She made a move to knee Xaden square between the legs, but he quickly moved out of the way and turned Violet onto her stomach in one motion.

“Now, now, you wouldn’t want to kick me there, would you? How would I keep you entertained tonight?” Xaden whispered against the shell of her ear, making her cheeks flush with heat.

He released her arms and got off of her. Violet released a breath she did not realize she had been holding and got to her feet. Xaden walked to the edge of the grass and gestured to Violet.

“Let’s try one more time.”

Violet and Xaden had already been training for an hour outside of the academy, and Violet was pissed beyond measure that she was losing more sleep than usual over this man, but she still circled him in the patch of dirt that they had been training on. Her clothes were covered in it, but Xaden did not seem to have even a speck of dirt on him, which only served to fuel Violet’s mood.

Xaden made the first move this time, and Violet made a quick calculation in her head before dodging and aiming her fist toward Xaden’s lower back when he got behind her. Xaden ducked out of the way, grabbed Violet’s leg and pulled her to the ground once more.

“Ow!” She cried when she hit the ground. Xaden was quick to turn his attention away from training to Violet’s wellbeing and he looked down at Violet with worry. Violet took advantage of this and reached under his arms to shove him to the side. She set herself on top of him in a straddle, hands still buried under his arms as she panted heavily. Xaden stared at her with wide eyes before he smirked cockily.

“Little Miss Trickster, huh?”

“More like Little Miss Kicked Your Ass,” Violet chuckled. She went to pull her hands away and Xaden flinched. He was quick to correct his face, but nothing slipped past Violet as she cocked her head to the side.

“Are you okay?”

“I’m fine, Violet.”

Violet raised her eyebrows. She looked at where her hands were and slowly began to connect the dots. A grin began to grow on her face.

“Xaden…”

“Dont.”

“Xaden, are you–”

“Don’t!”

“Ticklish?”

Xaden shook his head, but Violet dug her fingers further in and wiggled them. Xaden’s breath hitched and he froze, staring at Violet with wide eyes.

Violet, I cannot keep my shields up if you do this. Tairn and Sgaeyl will hear, Xaden begged through their mental connection, his eyes pleading. Unfortunately for Xaden, this only piqued Violet’s interest more.

Sounds like it’ll be good practice, then, Violet teased back through the connection. Xaden opened his mouth to protest verbally, but Violet already began to wiggle her fingers again, causing him to gasp before clamping his mouth shut.

“Oh, now you’re gonna be quiet? You weren’t able to keep your mouth shut earlier, why start now?” Violet teased as her fingers traveled down to Xaden’s ribs.

Breathy giggles began to escape Xaden’s lips along with a few huffs as he squirmed under Violet’s touch. Violet began to tease Xaden through their connection as she began to trace the outlines of his stomach.

When were you planning on telling me about this, hmm? If I had known all it would take was a little tickling to take you down, I never would have been as intimidated by you, she taunted as she began to pinch his sides. Xaden arched his back and began to laugh softly, still holding back. He was not saying anything back through the connection, so he must have not been lying about his mental shields.

“I wonder how long until you give in… Is there a particular spot, or do I need to try harder?”

Xaden looked like he wanted to say something back, but he gasped when Violet found his hips. She grinned at his reaction and gave them a firm squeeze, making him bark out a laugh.

“Sounds like it was a particular spot, then.”

As Violet began to squeeze his hips, Xaden began to buck under her as he finally broke into peals of laughter. He shook his head back and forth, trying to pull his hands away from his sides, but Violet had him firmly pinned.

“Violet!! Plehehehease, don’t! Not thehehere!”

“Oh? Why not?” Violet taunted. “Are you too ticklish?”

Xaden shook his head and Violet rolled her eyes, switching back and forth between teasing him through the connection and verbally. The combination seemed to drive Xaden up the wall in a very satisfying way, so as Violet continued to poke and prod at his hips, she kept up her persistent teasing.

“Ooh, you’re even more ticklish here! I’ll keep this in mind for later when we’re in the bedroom,” she cooed when she began to squeeze between his hips and thighs. Xaden flushed.

“Dohohon’t you dahare!!”

You mean you don’t want my hands all over your body? I thought you loved that, Violet teased over the connection. Xaden threw his head back and whined, unable to stop Violet as she persisted in her teases.

As she scribbled her fingers along his inner thighs he howled. She began to laugh along with him, entranced by his fluster and his intoxicating laugh.

Sgaeyl and I would appreciate it if you two could keep it down, came Tairn’s voice. Violet stopped immediately and her face began to flush while Xaden wheezed beneath her.

And I would appreciate it if you could mind your business, Violet shot back. She heard a grunt of disapproval from Tairn, but nothing was said in response.

She waited a few moments and then looked down at Xaden. A smile was plastered on his face and his chest heaved up and down. Violet smirked.

“I don’t know if you heard, but Tairn didn’t technically tell me to stop.”

Xaden’s eyes widened and he shook his head. “Violet, I swear to the gods—“

Xaden could not even finish his sentence before Violet was back to squeezing his hips.

Not funny, Bunny!

After their adventure in the candy canyon kingdom, the crew walked back through the fractal noise and into the circus. As they have done day in and day out every waking minute since they arrived. After Caines greeting and Kaufmos funeral, everyone went their separate ways for the night.

Jax was already gone before the funeral started. For reasons he refuses to state openly, he never attended those. The only one he ever went to was Queenies to support Kinger. After that, he never went to another one. That's besides the point. The purple rabbit was in his room skimming through a comic he's read about a million times now. He was trying to do anything to stimulate his mind while he waited for the funeral to end.

After some time, they finished their ceremony, and it didn't take long before the redheaded ragdoll came knocking on his door.

"Jax?!" Three knocks in a row "I know you're in there! We gotta talk!" The rabbit let out an exaggerated sigh rolling over in his bed to get up, unlocking the door as he opened it looking down at her. "What?" He raised an eyebrow as Ragatha crossed her arms, looking up at him with her typical mad face.

"Are you gonna let me in? We have to talk" Jax rolled his eyes and moved aside to let her in. The door shut behind them gently as he sighed "listen if this is about the funeral, you know I don't go to those anymore" she shook her head no as they sat together on his bed.

"No...this is about what happened during today's adventure..." she continued, not once looking away from him "not only did you push my buttons again, you could've seriously hurt pomni! I heard that you blackmailed Gangle to ram them, and that stunt you pulled with the key!-"

Jax snickered at that "What?! I granted him freedom, I did a good deed. You should be proud of me licorice hair!"

"Jax!" She held her hair again out of instinct which only caused the bunny to laugh more.

"Haha! You're so easy to tease! It's fun!" He smirked as Ragatha exhaled in a huff. He drove her so insane she's surprised she hadn't abstracted yet because of it.

"I need you to tone it down a little...pomni already had a really rough first day yesterday and I don't want her to keep-"

The purple character cut her off with a groan "why are you so obsessed with this?! You seriously want the newbie to like you that much, you really are a hopeless people pleaser"

Ragatha gave him the blank, annoyed, stare again. "I- look! I just want her to have a good time while she's adjusting! Her first day was awful, and I don't want that to be her only experience here. If she's stuck here for life like the rest of us, I at least want to make sure she's comfortable!" She exhaled "It took us all a long time to adjust, but no one had to deal with an abstraction on the first day! That's a lot for anyone. Poor thing is probably traumatized, and I just... I want to help...so please, for my sake, just ease up a bit on her for a few days while she settles in"

Jax gave her a 'tsk' and rolled his eyes "whatever...I'll still do what I want, but I'll make sure it's fully directed at you now. Happy?"

Ragatha took a deep breath and looked away "Alright. Thank you." Jax hummed "You're welcome, Licorice Hair" she rolled her eyes again looking back at him. "You're not funny, bunny"

"I think I'm hilarious!" Jax said with some laughter in his voice. Ragatha smiled getting an idea. "I think you need an attitude adjustment"

Jax gave her a face. That the red head laughed at gently. "Seriously you've been a pain, someone's gotta teach you a lesson"

Jax smirked "I'm soooo scared" he layed back nonchalantly, throwing his arms up and behind his head without a care in the world. "Are we done here?" He said closing his eyes "your looming presence is ruining my nap"

Ragatha smirked at this seeing her opportunity. "Not quite~" she moved her ragdoll hands under Jaxs arms. It didn't take long for Jax's eyes to snap open and his arms came right down.

"HEY! no!-" He stuttered and rolled around, trying to get away. "Rahagatha!" He tried to keep his laughter in, but it didn't last long.

The older one hummed and acted like nothing was happening "Hmm? What's going on Jax, why are you laughing? That's not like you, is there some secret prank going on that I don't know of? Or did you just think of something funny?" She wiggled her fingers further into his underarms as he laughed harder thrashing around a bit.

"RaHaHAHAGaTHA! YOHOU B!&$%CH- HAHahaha!" He tried to curse through his laughter but we all know that's not allowed in the circus.

"Oh Jaxy, this isn't even your worst spot, what's going on buddy? Are we just extra ticklish today? Maybe this is why you've been acting up! You needed my help, you could've just asked! Silly rabbit!" She teased as she moved to tickle his sides and ribs, finally getting her fingers away from his underarms.

Embarrassed, his cheeks turned a little darker shade of purple. Squeaking gently as she switched spots. His kicks got greater as he tried to escape, but they both knew that he wasn't actually trying.

"YOhohou Don't know wHaHAHA-" he threw his head back laughing. "You don't know what your tahahalking abohohohout!!"

She hummed again "Mhm sure~" she continued gently squeezing around his stomach above his overalls. That caused another loud squeak from him. "Are you sure Caine didn't accidentally make you a squeaky rabbit toy when you got here?"

"SHUHhuhut UHUhup!" He groaned through his laughter "You! SUHU%$@CK!"

She smirked "You don't mean that~"

"YEhes I dOHO!"

"Oh really?~"

"YEhEhah!"

"Wanna say that one more time?"

"BiHIte Mehe!- nononono- RAGATHA!-"

She swiftly moved her fingers to the back of his tall rabbit ears, wiggling them against the base. Jax wheezed out in laughter.

"AHH HAHAHAHAHA!" He snorted as his leg kicked against the bed like a bunny does or a dog does when they get scratches behind the ears. It was unconscious, it just happened which made ragatha laugh along with him.

"That's adorable!"

"FUHU&%$#CK OHOHOHOFFF!! HAHAHAHA!" His face was the deepest shade of purple now. "RAHAHAHAGATHA"

"Whaaat?" She teased in a sing-song voice

"IHIHIT TIHIHICKLES-"

"That's the point!" She smiled at how happy he looked.

"PLEHEHEASE!!"

"Pleaseee? Hmm? please what! Use your words Jax" she smirked having fun with this.

"PLEHEHEASE STOHOHOP! I CAHAHAN'T-"

She smiled and rolled her eyes, stopping like he asked "There"

He panted, catching his breath.

"You're awful" He hissed as she smiled more

"I love you too, buddy"

He rolled his eyes but smiled when she turned around to leave. Once the door was shut, he exhaled, still smiling. Collecting himself, he went over to his desk and lit a candle for Kaufmo. He was gonna miss that clown.

"Thanks Ragdoll..." he spoke under his breath.

"You're welcome!" She said through the door

"YOU HEARD NOTHING!" Damnit!

I hope you guys enjoyed! <3

hi :3

idk if ur still doing varigo stuff but if you are do you think you could do a fic where one catches the other cheating in a game and tickles them for it

if you can't that's fine too :)

Yes of course!! I love my lil gay scientist boys :3

Varian and Hugo were playing an intense match of go fish and so far, Hugo was winning.

“Got any eights?”

Hugo smirked at Varian’s question.

“Go fish, Sweet Cheeks.”

Varian huffed and picked up another card.

Hugo grinned and put down another set of cards- all 6 of spades.

“What- but- how??”

Varian spluttered indignantly, looking at his growing hand. Somehow, there wasn’t a single set of cards he could play. Something fishy was going on.

“Hugo, show me your cards.”

“Sweetheart, that’s against the rules.”

Varian glared at the snarky ex-con.

“Hugo, let me see your cards.”

Hugo sighed dramatically, but revealed his hand. A couple pairs, but no sets.

“See, I’ve got nothing to hide. May we continue now?”

Varian nodded.

“Fine, you go ahead.”

Grinning, Hugo reached into his sleeve under the table and pulled out two more matching cards, completing another set of 4. To Varian, it just looked like he was scratching an itch.

That was, until, Hugo raises the wrong hand and the hidden cards came tumbling out of his sleeve.

Fuck.

For a moment, neither of them spoke. They just stared at the cards that were now scattered on the table.

Slowly, Varian looked at Hugo.

“You dirty little cheater! You’re so gonna pay for that!”

Hugo was up in an instant, game and cards now forgotten in favor of running from his 5’7, but still very strong and very fast boyfriend.

“Get back here you little shit!”

Hugo squawked as Varian jumped on him from behind and tackled him before pinning him down.

“What do you have to say for yourself?”

Hugo gulped. He was in trouble.

“Ah, Sweet Cheeks-“

“Don’t ’Sweet Cheeks’ me! You’re in so much trouble! I’m not letting you off the hook with a few sweet words.”

Hugo swallowed.

“What’re you going to do about it?”

Varian narrowed his eyes. Then he smirked, a mischievous glint in his eyes.

“I could tell you. But I think I’d rather show you.”

Before Hugo could ask any questions, he felt fingers dig into his ribs and he let out a very undignified screech of laughter.

“shIHIHIHIHT! Bahahahaby NoOHOHOHOHO!”

Varian grinned, scribbling his fingers across Hugo’s torso before leaning down and blowing raspberries against the crook of Hugo’s neck.

“Well? Are you sorry?”

“Sohohorry for what?”

Varian blew a few more raspberries against the crook of Hugo’s neck, eliciting loud squeals.

“Don’t play dumb with me. You know what I’m talking about, you dirty cheat.”

Hugo cackled, writhing useless under Varian’s attack.

“Is it really cheating if it I use it to wIHIHIHIN- OKAY OKAY! I’m sohorry! Not my armpits, not my armpits!!”

Satisfied, Varian released Hugo, but not before giving him one more neck raspberry for good measure.

“That’s what I thought! Next time play fair or I won’t be so merciful.”

Varian snickers as Hugo scurries backwards, his shoulders scrunching up to his ears.

He really was adorable when he was flustered.

“Understood. Next time I’ll play fair.”

Varian snorted and shook his head.

“I’ll believe it when I see it. Now, come here, you big baby.”

Once Hugo came to him, Varian wrapped his arms around him and gently stroked his hair. The taller man almost instantly melted against him.

“Mmmph. Love you, Goggles.”

Varian chuckled at Hugo’s sleepy, mumbled words.

“I love you too, Four Eyes.”
