Even the Ultimate Fanfic Creator can feel Doubt

(Note: This is a Tickle Fanfic which also includes a bit of Angst and Hurt/Comfort.)

Summary: Hifumi is doubting his own Title as an Ultimate. Celestia comes up with an unconventional Method in order to cheer him up and bring his Motivation back.

Delicately, Fingers flicked over the next Page of a Fantasy Novel bound in a black Cover. The Ultimate Gambler and the Ultimate Fanfic Creator were currently spending some Time together in the Dorm Room of the latter, each one following after their own Hobbies. As such, the Gambler decided on reading a Novel which told a romantic Story about a Princess getting lost inside a magical Forest only to be saved by a handsome Vampire who invites her back into his Castle while the Fanfic Creator was sketching away on his Graphics Tablet.

However, there was one small Problem - that being Hifumi's constant sighing. The first few Times, Celestia didn't pay any Mind to it, being too engrossed with the Story she is reading. After the fourth and fifth Time, though, her Concentration was pretty much in Shambles as red Eyes repeatedly scanned over the same Lines on the same Page over and over again as a last Ditch Effort to absorb any Type of Information. She contemplated on scolding Hifumi for his Carelessness, though the few Seconds of Silence made her choose otherwise, the Novel in her Hands being considered being much more worthy of her Time-

"Uugh..."

Another exhale from the other Ultimate nearby tore Celestia out of her Focus for the sixth Time in a Row. Annoyance bubbled within the dark-clothed Gambler, red Eyes torn away from the Book in order to glare towards the very Source of the Distraction.

"Hifumi, do pray tell as to why so much senseless Air is escaping past your Lips like a Balloon deflating.", she snapped towards him, though her Voice staying composed and elegant as ever.

"Ah, Ms. Ludenberg! It's a Tragedy, dare I say!", the nerdy Teen rose from his Chair dramatically and headed over towards the large Bed the Gambler was resting on, then let himself drop onto it which caused Celestia to slightly bounce up and down for a Moment, "It seems the Gods have abandoned me! Nay! Snatched my Passion from my very Hands!"

Celestia let her Gaze wander over towards the PC Monitor on Hifumi's Desk and noticed something peculiar. Many Sketches were either hastily skribbled out or had tons of Notes written beside them. On closer Inspection, said Notes included lots of Criticism and negative Descriptions in them. Weird, usually Hifumi tends to be very confident in his Work and not so harsh on himself, she thought to herself. Her Attention snapped back to the Teenage Boy as he continued with his rambling.

"My Inspiration gone! My Fancy not being tickled anymore! My Life Essence drained!", a frustrated Groan left him while he covered his Face with his Hands, "Am I even... still good enough anymore?"

Celestia's Annoyance melted away in an instant as she heard Hifumi's Tone change towards his last Sentence. It didn't sound eccentric and dorky anymore like usual, rather... unsure. Hopeless even.

"... Pardon?", one Hand closed the Novel with a quiet thud as she laid it aside.

"Ah, sorry, sorry!", Hifumi removed his Hands and showed a wobbly Smile, "Nothin' to worry about, Ms. Ludenber-"

"Hifumi."

Her Voice was stern and commanding, yet there was no Hint of Anger in it. As the Queen of Liars, she could pretty much tell that the Ultimate Fanfic Creator was displaying a fake Smile on his Face... not that it really took someone being the Queen of Liars in order to tell that he was putting on a Facade, so obviously forced was his Smile.

"There is definitely something going on here, so how about you spare any pointless Attempts at changing the Topic and just spit it out already?"

Hifumi fidgeted with his Hands, though as soon as his Head turned towards the Ultimate Gambler and his Eyes met hers, his Smile just... broke. Now, an Expression of Sadness presented itself, one that the female Teen has never seen before much to her surprise. His Mouth in the usual Shape of a three hung low and she could swear that she was seeing Tears stinging in the Corners of his Eyes. Celestia didn't want to admit it, but even she felt a Pang of Sympathy in her Heart upon catching that Sight.

"I-it's just... I'm not... What if I don't live up to my Title as an Ultimate anymore?", an audible Hic left his Throat for a Moment before he continued further, "M-my Artworks... Do they even carry the same Worth as my previous ones or have they fallen below Quality?"

Hifumi averted Celestia's Gaze, instead staring down onto the Floor which was littered with empty Bags of Chips and Ramen Noodles Cups. Nonetheless, the latter still intently listened.

"What if People don't find my Creations inspirational? Have they been hating it all along? What if... What if I suddenly don't know what to create anymore and run out of Motivation completely forever? Wouldn't that mean the End of my Career?... What if... ᴵ ʷᵃˢⁿ'ᵗ ʷᵒʳᵗʰʸ ᵃˡˡ ᵃˡᵒⁿᵍ ᵃⁿᵈ ᵈᵒⁿ'ᵗ ᶜᵃʳʳʸ ᵃⁿʸ ᵂᵒʳᵗʰ ᵃˢ ᵃ ᴴᵘᵐᵃⁿ ᴮᵉᶦⁿᵍˀ…", towards the end, Hifumi's Voice went quiet after revealing the Thought Spiral clawing inside his Head for quite a while now.

The Ultimate Gambler... was speechless and caught off-guard, to say the least. Out of all People, she expected the Teen Boy the least to carry such deep Worries within him considering his boastful and confident Nature. As Silence took over the Room, Tears threatened to spill from Hifumi's Eyes. Seeing that, she decided to do something she thought she would never do in her Life for once - actually console Hifumi.

"Hifumi.", Celestia cautiously took one of his Hands into her own, "Why do you doubt your own Title as an Ultimate in such manner?"

The Ultimate Fanfic Creator stared at her with Bewilderment as he was not used to receiving Compassion from her.

"If you were chosen as an Ultimate, then there was definitely no mistake in that. You should carry your Title with Pride instead of questioning it. Even if you tend to often create... rather questionable Stuff, there is no denying your Level in Skill... and Talent..."

Slowly, the Ultimate Gambler stopped in her Words as a Tear was rolling down Hifumi's Cheek.

"Ah! Sorry! Sorry!", he hastily wiped it away with his Sleeve, "I-it's just-... I didn't know I really needed to hear that... Thank you, Ms. Ludenberg."

Indeed, the Teen Boy appeared to be in higher Spirits compared to before, however there was still a Hint of Doubt audible in his Voice. Celestia was not really satisfied with that Result yet. Suddenly, an Idea sprung into her Head as she recalled one Word the Ultimate Fanfic Creator just uttered mere Minutes ago.

"You mentioned that you lost your Motivation-", she put on a sweet Smile on her Face which hid her mischievous Intention, "- so how about I help you by tickling your Fancy, hmm?"

"W-what do you mea-eEK!", before Hifumi could finish his Sentence, however, a ticklish Jolt ran through his Body as a Hand grabbed his Side and squeezed it.

"M-Ms. Ludenbeheherg, whahat are youhu-"

Black Nails dug into his Pudge, a sudden Snort emitting from him while his left Hand flailed lightly around, though it made sure to avoid accidentally hitting the Ultimate Gambler.

"Are you deaf? I said that I am helping you, so you are better grateful for me providing such a gracious Offer."

In a way, Celestia determined that this was a suitable Punishment for the Ultimate Fanfic Writer for his great Offence of repeatedly disrupting her during her precious reading Time. Even so, the Queen of Liars had to admit that messing with him in such a way was quite a lot of Fun, though she would vehemently deny that very Fact if asked, of course.

"Ohoffeher? I-ahah-Ihi wahasn't infohormed about ahany Offehe-HEHEHAHA, NOT THEHERE! NAHAHAT THEREHEHE!!"

Hifumi's Laughter pretty much jumped up three Octaves higher as Celestia's Fingers swiftly spidered along from his Side towards his chubby Belly, Nails scritching away at an especially sensitive Spot through his white Shirt there. His left Hand slammed across his Mouth out of Reflex, Warmth radiating from his Cheeks while a pastel pink Hue gradually spread across them.

"Ah ah ah~. If you want that Passion of yours to return to you, then you are not allowed to muffle your Laughter. You need to let it all out~."

Removing her Fingers for a Moment, Celestia guided Hifumi's Arm away from his flustered Face only to promptly poke and prod around his Stomach once more, resulting in him letting out a girly Screech followed by tons of high-pitched cackling.

"T-thaHAHat's naHAHAahat fahaHAHAIhihIHIhir!! I caHAHAhan feheheel m-my MaHAHANAha depleheHEHEhetiHIHIhing!!"

"Not everything can be fair. Such is Life as it tends to play cruel Jokes on us."

The Ultimate Fanfic Creator just about felt his Soul leaving his Body when Fingernails traced various Shapes into his Belly and he erupted into loud guffawing, even letting out a few funny Snorts here and there.

"LUHUHUDENBEHERG!! I-AHAHAHA- IHIT TICKLEHEHES TOHOHOHOO MUHUHUCH!!! EHEHEHAHAHAHA!!!", at this point, it would be no Surprise if the People from the Dorm Rooms next Door heard Hifumi's hysterical Laughter bouncing off of the Walls, that's how noisy it was.

Smiling sickly sweet as ever, a Feeling of evil Playfulness materialized within Celestia, choosing to tease Hifumi further so that his pastel-pink Cheeks would change into a bright red Colour.

"I sincerely hope that this tickles, else the entire Point in this would have been severely missed. Or did you genuinely expect to receive a Massage from a Noblewoman like me, hmm~?"

"PLEHEHEAHAHASEHEHEHE, BWAHAHAHAHA!!!"

Meanwhile, it was finally then that Celestia took Note of something: She was still weakly holding onto Hifumi's right Hand. This entire Time, he had not yanked it away from her, probably too busy with laughing and squirming his Torso around to fend off the devilish Nails tickling him. Come to think of it, he sounded like he was slowly running out of Breath, too. Well, he did kindly say please, now didn't he? Rewarding him with a small Break is the least the Ultimate Gambler could do for him. She removed her Nails from Hifumi's Stomach, allowing him to take in large Gulps of Air for a few Seconds. Then, Curiosity struck her and she placed her Nails onto his right open Palm, lightly scritching away at the Skin there in a circular Motion. Honestly, Celestia would have expected anything. Loud Pig-like Snorts. High-pitched girly Squeals. Nerdy and goofy chortling. Anything that basically screamed "Hifumi Yamada" or "The Alpha and the Omega" as he likes to proudly call himself. In her entire Existence, the very last Thing the Queen of Liars would have ever expected coming from him was the most innocent, most precious, most carefree and most lighthearted giggling she has ever had the Pleasure of listening to in her whole Life.

And yet that is what her Ears were hearing at this very Moment.

"Ms. Ludenbeheheherg, I-Ihi wahahasn't reheheahahady yehehet!", Hifumi squeezed his Eyes shut while his Face scrunched up into a bashful Expression. Because of that, he couldn't see Celestia staring at him with wide Eyes.

"M-Ms. Ludehehenbeheherg?" When he didn't receive an Answer from her like usually, he cracked one Eyelid open to look at her. Quickly, Celestia shook her Head to regain her Composure.

"The Turmoils of Life can take us such by Surprise, yes?"

She softly let her Fingers dance across his open Palm thus eliciting even more wholesome giggling from him.

"I suppohohosehehehe! Ahahahahaha!"

Unlike before, Hifumi was not flailing around anymore, instead sitting still on the Bed with his free left Hand placed on his Lap.

"May Ihi ihihinquihire for hohohow lohohong you ahare gohohoihing to-ahahaha-to keep tihihicklihihing mehe fohor?"

"Until that burning Motivation of yours returns to its rightful Place, that being your Mind. Has it done so yet?"

"I-I thihihink so, yeheahaha."

"You think?"

Celestia took the Opportunity of Hifumi's Uncertainty in order to increase the Pace of her Fingers spidering across his Palm.

"W-wahahaihihit! I'm certahahain! Ihihi am cehehertain nohohow!"

"There we go."

Truthfully, she was a bit disappointed that she had to stop tickling him, but her Objective in the first Place was to cheer the other Ultimate up, not outright kill him with Laughter. Thus, she finally let go of his Wrist, the latter rubbing the ghostly Tickles away with his Thumb as he regained his Breath in the meantime, his Chest rising and sinking with each Intake of Air.

"Yes... yeees! I think I can finally see it! The Glimmer of Passion is once more being ignited within me! I am blessed by the Kiss of the Muse!", Hifumi's Mouth quirked up in the three-Shape that everyone was so accustomed to, Glee radiating from him, "The Gods are passing down such marvelous Concepts into my Head! The Colours! So bright and emotional! I must capture it on my Canvas this instant!"

Hifumi excitedly jumped up from the Bed, though not before turning back towards Celestia. "Ms. Ludenberg, I must thank you for helping me out of this Predicament, even with such an, err-... unconventional Method. I do hope you understand that I must return to my artistic World this once!"

"I won't hold you up any longer. After all, I have my own important Matters to attend to.", Celestia referred to her Fantasy Novel which she picked back up.

Nodding, the Ultimate Fanfic Creator hurried back to his PC and immediately began sketching away on his Graphics Tablet, the Passion indeed having returned to him by the Sounds of it.

Before Celestia settled back into reading, she flashed one last Glance towards her Friend, a small genuine Smile hidden behind the Book.
