I Counter With Fluffy-Sugary-Goodness!
(OOC: This is pure crack. We got silly one night on IM. Vaati and Aifor played by
sorcerer_vaati .)
______________________________________________________________________________________________
LINKSHA: *is feeling playful, and shows it by moving behind Vaati and trying to stealth-tickle him*
AIFOR: *squeaks* Link~sha, what you doing?
LINKSHA: *continues trying to tickle Vaati, confused as to why it's not working* Um... well, I was TRYING to make a certain purple mage laugh, but...
VAATI: *raises an eyebrow; he's not about to admit that this does tickle a bit*
AIFOR: What is tickle?
LINKSHA: *considers that for a bit, slowing down his attempts on Vaati to idle finger-waggling, but not yet ready to give up, moving around to try new spots* Well, you know that thing I do when play with your feet and you squeak? That's tickling.
AIFOR: *uncurls its feet -- and nearly falls off* Tickling fun~
VAATI: *bites his lip because okay, that's starting to tickle, all right*
LINKSHA: *keeps on trucking, oblivious to Vaati's discomfort because, aww! Aifor just wobbled! He beckons Aifor over with his free hand.* Heheh! You want me to tickle you, Aifor?
AIFOR: Okay~ *it waddles over to Linksha*
VAATI: *bites a little harder, trying to hold the laughter in. he doesn't want to admit that he's ticklish*
LINKSHA: *idly places a kiss to the back of Vaati's head while not ceasing his attempts. With his other hand, he plays with Aifor's feet.*
AIFOR: Wheeeee~!
VAATI: *snickers*
LINKSHA: *Assumes Vaati's laughing about Aifor, and joins in (still tickling Vaati, of course -- it's like an afterthought, now)* He is SO damn CUTE! And see? HE likes tickling! You need to loosen up. *He lightly hip-butts Vaati*
AIFOR: *keeps laughing and squeaking*
VAATI: *wants to say something along the lines of "you two belong together," but as soon as he opens his mouth, he starts laughing. Loudly.*
LINKSHA: *stops moving, except for his head turning to look at Vaati... STUNNED... And then he gets an inkling of what just happened and focuses on tickling that same spot some more, to see if it is indeed what he thinks it is*
VAATI: *squirms and tries to get away from Linksha's hand, still laughing* What are you doing?
LINKSHA: *grins like a kid in a candy store* Forgive me, Aifor, but this bears more thorough exploration... *turns both hands to the task of tickling Vaati* Oh, don't worry, lover! Just getting better-acquainted with your body, is all... *Inspiration strikes* Say, Aifor! You wanna help me tickle Master?
VAATI: Well, st-stop! *he's still laughing, and this isn't exactly a terrible thing; he just isn't fond of being somewhat powerless*
AIFOR: How I do that? *lands on Linksha's wrist*
LINKSHA: *to AIFOR:* Start by lightly scratching that spot riiiight there! -- Gently, now! *to VAATI:* Relax and enjoy it, Love. You need the laugh, and I won't tell a soul.
AIFOR: *clings tighter to Linksha's wrist with one foot, leans way over, and barely brushes Vaati's side with the other little foot* Like this?
VAATI: You're being a bad influence! *well, that's what he tries to say; he's laughing hard enough it's hard to tell, really*
LINKSHA: *laughs and hugs Vaati, reducing the tickle to one hand (and an Aifor claw). His body leans into Vaati's right side, right arm wrapped around Vaati's chest up to the left shoulder and head tucked into the crook of his neck, laying a blitz of little smooches to the delicate neck.* I love hearing you laugh! You should do it more!
VAATI: *Oh, yes, lovely. Now he's trapped. Linksha had better be glad that it's him, because anyone else would be halfway through a wall right now.* I should?
LINKSHA: *kisses his shoulder* Yes! You should! *huggles!* It's a nice sound, and you smile so beautifully when you laugh.
VAATI: There you go with that word again.
AIFOR: *can't keep balancing like that, so it stops tickling Master and just sits on Linksha's wrist for the moment. What are they doing?*
LINKSHA: *brings Aifor up to Vaati's left shoulder, wrapping Vaati in a proper hug and giving him a break from the tickling.* Aifor! You've seen Master laugh, right? Doesn't he have a nice smile? *he pets the top of Aifor's head*
AIFOR: Smile...? I like when Master laugh. That mean we have fun.
LINKSHA: *stands prouder* See? Aifor agrees! Good boy, Aifor! *he redoubles his efforts to make Aifor squeak happily*
AIFOR: *It doesn't take much to make Aifor squeak happily. <3*
VAATI: *catches his breath* I fail to see what that has to do with you tickling me...
LINKSHA: *shrugs* It's nice to see you drop your guard a little sometimes... I'm probably closer to you than anyone else here, yet... I know there's still a barrier there.
VAATI: ...
LINKSHA: *shrugs, still hugging him* It's okay. I understand a lot of why that is, and you'll trust me when you're ready... It's nice to see you act more natural sometimes, is all. To allow yourself a break... And you ARE incredibly cute when you laugh. *a kiss to the cheek*
VAATI: *sighs* I do act naturally. Just... differently. *He raises an eyebrow at Linksha* Is everything I do "cute"?
LINKSHA: *smirks mischievously* Not everything... sometimes, you're really cool. Sometimes, you're infuriating. And, the rest? I may be biased, but... is it messed up I find you drop-dead sexy even when you ARE infuriating as hell?
VAATI: ...
"Cool?"
And, you like it when I'm angry? You are a very strange man sometimes, Linksha.
LINKSHA: *laughs* Well, I like the occasional challenge! You're a tough nut to crack, but at least with you I know that if I get any sort of compliment, it's legit. Besides, there's too much dullness in the world to bother with a boring relationship.
And by "cool" I mean, "composed and confident". It's a VERY appealing trait.
VAATI: Hmm. *smirks* You sound almost like you're buttering me up.
LINKSHA: *smirks back* Hey, not all of us save our heartfelt compliments for a celebration day. Besides, it feels like ages since I've had you to myself! I feel like being outgoing.
VAATI: Ah, but you don't have me entirely to yourself. Though I suppose I can't complain that you're in a good mood.
LINKSHA: *smiles* Alright, so I technically have to share you with Aifor. That's still better than not having you. ... Besides: look at him! How can I begrudge attention from someone like that, hmm? *leans across and kisses the top of Aifor's head.*
AIFOR: *squeaks* I stay with Master~
LINKSHA: Yes, you do! You're a wonderful guardian! *To VAATI:* Seriously, how DID you manage to make such a lovable ball of warm fuzzies?
VAATI: What do you mean? I merely crafted it.
LINKSHA: So... what about his behavior? He's amazing! I've been dungeon-crawling since I was 14 and I've never seen a guardian with personality, before!
VAATI: I believe it comes down to the difference between the way you humans craft things and the way we Minish craft things.
We put a tiny part of ourselves into everything we create.
LINKSHA: *stares at Aifor, then at Vaati* ... Sooooo... You telling me there's a cute, giggly ball of goodness and sunshine somewhere deep, deep within you? *griiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin!* Because if that's the case, how do I get him to come out and play?!
VAATI: *gives Linksha a pointed look* Aifor is considerably more innocent than I am.
I'm not exactly sure why myself.
LINKSHA: *nods* Maybe it was a happy accident? Honestly, I think he's terrific the way he is... *a kiss to Vaati's cheek* Don't worry: I like you the way you are, too.
VAATI: Perhaps it was... I did the best that I could with the spell, but... this is a different Hyrule than the one I learned magic in. Maybe it's different here.
LINKSHA: *shrugs* In your own words, he's perfect. *he gently picks up Aifor cupped in both hands and lifts him to his eye level.* Ain't that right, Aifor? You're perfect, ain'tcha! *he gently and playfully turns Aifor side-to-side in his hands.*
AIFOR: Yeah, yeah~! Master says I perfect.
VAATI: *smirks* Yes, Aifor is perfect. My little scout.
LINKSHA: He's wonderful. Makes me proud to call him family!
VAATI: Family?
LINKSHA: Sure! I already considered you family, and he's... well, sorta like your kid, in a way. So, I guess that kinda makes me his adoptive dad, or something.
VAATI: I... see.
I've never thought of Aifor as a child, yet... I believe I understand your meaning.
AIFOR: ...Link~sha is master, too?
LINKSHA: *grins fondly* Um... not sure if I'm comfortable being called that, but... *to VAATI:* if it's okay with you? *To AIFOR:* Maybe call me dad? Or... something like that...?
*he thinks it through, for a moment* s Actually... let's have you call me "Amayii“. Means the same, but it's Calatian, so people won't look at us like we're crazy!
AIFOR: *blinkblink* Amayii...?
VAATI: You want Aifor to call you "Dad"?
LINKSHA: *blushes a bit and shrugs* Well... he kinda fits the bill, and... it's not likely we can have one any other way, so... I-I don't mind! ... If it's okay with you, of course.
VAATI: ...
That is... Aifor calls me 'Master', not Father.
LINKSHA: *nods, a little crestfallen, but not so obviously* If you're not comfortable, then...
VAATI: It's merely strange to me, Linksha.
I suppose if that is what you wish to be called...
LINKSHA: If you'd rather, maybe he can call me Big Brother? Sheiky already does, so it's not unusual to me. *snorts* Or would you rather he call me "Mommy"?
VAATI: *That gets a pointed look.* "Mommy?"
I see no harm in 'brother', but do as you wish.
LINKSHA: *nudges Vaati, smiling* Lighten up, will ya? I was joking with the "mommy" thing. *Turning to AIFOR:* Alright, then! Call me Brother, or "aya-shay", or "Linksha". Can you do that for me, Aifor?
AIFOR: *blinkblink* Aya-shay?
VAATI: You and your love of family... *shakes his head*
AIFOR: I say it right?
LINKSHA: Yes, you said it perfectly!
AIFOR: Yay~!
LINKSHA: *to Vaati:* I know it's hard for you to understand, but for me, my family was... well, as vital to me as the wind is to you. They helped make me what I am, and I'm grateful to them. *He shrugs* The concept of family is ingrained in me, just as the concept of magic is natural to you.
VAATI: Ah, I see. In that case... I suppose I don't mind Aifor calling you brother.
LINKSHA: *chuckles* I seem to be collecting siblings at an alarming rate! *he hugs and pets Aifor, then turns his head to kiss Vaati on the lips* YOU, however, are DEFINITELY not allowed to call me "brother". That'd be creepy.
VAATI: I suppose there are worse things to collect.
That would be quite creepy, in fact.
AIFOR: *sits on Vaati's head* What's a sib~ling?
LINKSHA: *jokingly:* It's what I specialize in collecting!
AIFOR: *blinkblink* Oh, okay.
LINKSHA: *laughs* That was a joke, Aifor! No. Sibling... How would I explain... Ah! If Vaati were to make more scouts like you, then those would be your siblings -- your brothers and sisters. Get it?
AIFOR: Okay! *shifts and looks at Master*
VAATI: Yes?
AIFOR: ...Can I have sibling?
LINKSHA: *laughs* You sure you don't want me to be the daddy, Vaati? Seems like an awful lot of work for a single parent...
VAATI: ...
LINKSHA: *continues cackling*
VAATI: If you're the father...
...that implies I'm the mother.
LINKSHA: *is trying so hard not to laugh at that, he sounds like a tire with a leak*
AIFOR: Link~sha, you hurt?
LINKSHA: *is tearing up. Squeakily:* Nope! Nope. I'm ooooookay! *he says while looking directly at Vaati*
VAATI: You don't look okay.
LINKSHA: *closes his eyes and leans over, very OBVIOUSLY trying not to laugh. He manages for another 20 seconds or so, and then that's it. The mental images are too strong. Mid-guffawing and gasping for breath:* I-- I know y-you're gonna k-kill me fer this... bu-- but you'd look SO-- so CUTE in a housedress! *speech center of the brain has now collapsed into helpless giggles*
VAATI: *narrows his eyes* ...
LINKSHA: *lifts up his head to try to apologize, but bursts out laughing more at the look on Vaati;s face*
VAATI: *just sighs*
AIFOR: ...what so funny?
LINKSHA: *can't help himself:* M-mamma Vaati!
VAATI: No.
AIFOR: Not Mamma... Master.
LINKSHA: *more-or-less regains composure, not counting watery eyes, red face, and the occasional spastic giggle or chuckle. Dead serious: (as much as he can be)* Y-you can be a daddy, too... Don't see why there can't be two. *He nearly looses it again but manages to rein it in for the joke's sake:* And just think of all the fun we'll have working toward giving Aifor siblings!
VAATI: ... *sighs* I don't think it works that way, Linksha.
LINKSHA: *playfully:* Aw, c'mon! We can pretend! *goofy grin*
VAATI: We can, hmm?
LINKSHA: *quirks brows suggestively and smiles*
VAATI: *shakes his head* You'd like that, wouldn't you?
LINKSHA: *grins wider*
VAATI: I don't know if I should make any more. I don't really have need of any...
LINKSHA: *grins* We can still say we're "practicing", should we ever need more.
VAATI: *raises an eyebrow* So I see.
LINKSHA: *holds up Aifor in front of himself, turning Aifor to face Vaati while giving him the ol' puppy eyes* Aw, c'mon. He's so cute! You know you're gonna want another one, some day. Don't you want to stay in shape so you're ready? Hmmmmmm?
VAATI: ...
That involves my magic, Linksha.
...And I highly doubt I could ever get out of shape with you around.
LINKSHA: *bats his eyes a few times and waves Aifor* And just think! He can even keep guard while we "practice" so we don't have any more incidents like with the balloon freak! Isn't he wonderful?
VAATI: ...
AIFOR: Whee~!
