Work Text:
It was late afternoon, and Bowser and Luigi had been in their bedroom for hours. Luigi was laid on Bowser's chest, his eyes drooping. As he laid there, he began to draw lazy, mindless shapes and squiggles on Bowser’s stomach with his finger. Suddenly he felt the bed shake below him. He peered down, and saw Bowser’s leg kick. He experimented with the light touches again, and sure enough, Bowser’s leg started hitting the bed like a puppy. He chuckled at this new discovery. Meanwhile, Bowser was fighting the strong urge to giggle, or throw Luigi off of him.
“H-hey.. Luigi, s-stahap,” Bowser said, a small giggle escaping. Luigi looked up at him, smiling, now changing his fingers’ motions from dragging to skittering and poking.
“Does that tickle, Bowser? Hm? Is a certain king a little ticklish?” Luigi teased.
Bowser grabbed hold of Luigi’s wrists. Luigi tried to wiggle his arms away, but failed miserably as he was suddenly flipped over on his back. Bowser quickly pinned his arms above his head, his legs trapping Luigi’s between them. Luigi was startled at how quickly the tables had turned, and now he knew there was no escape.
“You made a big mistake, greenie.. and now you’re trapped by me..or should I say, a monster..” Bowser teased.
He playfully wiggled his fingers at Luigi.
Oh no, not that.
Luigi began struggling a bit, but clearly not to the point of really wanting to escape.
“W-wait, Bowser, I- I’m sorry, I- I wohon’t do it again,” Luigi giggled nervously.
Laughter was bubbling inside him making his tummy feel tingly like butterflies.
“No no, darling, you’ve already awaken him..” Bowser said.
“A-awaken who..” Luigi asked, fearing he knew the answer.
Bowser hovered his fingers over Luigi’s ribs.
“A monster who is not so merciful..” Bowser whispered teasingly.
Luigi couldn’t help but grin ear to ear. Anticipation was absolutely driving him crazy.
“Oh nohoho!” he giggled.
“Ooohhh yes… it’s a certain monster that absolutely loves to make. You. Laugh.”
Bowser punctuated the last three words with his hand inching closer and closer to Luigi’s skin.
Luigi couldn’t hold it in anymore, Bowser was just way too good at teasing.
He burst into light, high pitched giggles. Goddamnit he was so sensitive. Bowser wasn’t even touching him, and he was already cracking up.
“I’d say to watch out, but it seems that you can’t move.. oh well, hope you’re prepared for what the tickle monster has in store!” Bowser exclaimed as he lightly pinched Luigi’s ribs rapidly.
Luigi absolutely hit the roof screeching, “AAAA NAHAHAHAHAHA P-PLEHEHEASE HAHAHA!!”
His sensitivity had increased drastically because of all the teasing and anticipation. Bowser let go of his arms to use both of his hands to lift his shirt up to his neck. Luigi could now flail his arms to try to shield himself but Bowser, obviously being much stronger and bigger, just simply continued to dig into his ribs with no issue. Bowser soon got bored of Luigi’s ribs, and moved on to his stomach. Specifically focusing his skittering fingers around his bellybutton. Luigi snorted loudly, and tried to twist away, kick his legs, grab Bowser’s wrists, anything to stop him. But alas, there was absolutely no stopping the playful monster above him. Once Luigi fully realized how stuck and helpless he was to the situation, his laughter increased tenfold. All he could do was throw his head back, cackling and screaming away. Bowser reveled in his lover’s laughing and shrieking.
“Aww seems that the tickle monster caught a particularly ticklish boy today!~” Bowser sang.
Luigi hated (loved) Bowser’s taunts and teases.
“BOWSER PLEHEHEASE!! N-NAHAT MY TUMMY-EEE!!” Luigi laughed.
“Ahh yes this little tummy right here, does that tickle..tickle..tickle?!” Bowser cooed.
Luigi could only nod in response.
“You know.. this is making the tickle monster pretty hungry… I think I need a little snack, don’t you think?” he smiled.
Luigi shook his head frantically, pushing his shirt down, trying his hardest to hold it down knowing exactly what Bowser was planning. Bowser grabbed Luigi by the hips, and pushed him up higher on the bed to position his stomach right below his head.
“N-noho nononono!!” Luigi pleaded.
His pleas fell on deaf ears as Bowser very easily rolled up the shirt again, wrapped his strong arms around his torso, and shoved his nose into Luigi’s stomach, planting small kisses and nibbles all over. Luigi squealed, and threw his arms around Bowser’s head trying to hold onto something. This only forced Bowser to stay exactly where he was to continue his onslaught of ticklish kisses. Finally, he took a deep breath, and blew a raspberry on Luigi’s soft, sensitive tummy.
Luigi felt tears prick up as he screamed, “AHAHAHAHA NONONONO NOT THAHAHAT!! IT- IT TIHIHICKLES SO BAD!”
Bowser giggled against his stomach blowing a few more sloppy raspberries. He leaned his head up to look at Luigi’s red, tear stained, smiling face. Bowser smiled back at him, and kissed him sweetly. He teasingly skittered his fingers down his ribs. Luigi’s giggling increased once again.
“B-Bowser stahahap,” he snorted.
Bowser sat up, and got off of him. Luigi finally felt like he could put his guard down. He scooted back down on the bed, starting to get comfortable. That’s when Bowser turned around to get comfy, too, and Luigi saw an opportunity he couldn’t resist. He knew damn well what would happen if he did this, but honestly, he didn’t mind. In only one second, he reached his arms over, and put one around Bowser’s ankle, now skittering his nails on his sole. Bowser jumped, and reached his hand back in record speed to grab the hands tormenting him. Luigi jumped back just in time to not get caught, but Bowser quickly spun around. Without a second thought, he grabbed Luigi’s legs, and held his ankles together with one hand.
“You little bastard..” Bowser growled, “you just want to get tickled more, don’t you?! Remember what I told you?..”
Luigi had no chance of pulling his legs away. He shook his head, praying that Bowser would just attack and not tease him. Of course that wouldn’t be the case.
Bowser grinned devilishly, “I said that the tickle monster gives no mercy to the ones caught in his grasp… now let’s see just how ticklish these little feet are..”
With that, his fingers descended onto Luigi’s helpless feet, wasting no time with slow tickles. He quickly fluttered his fingers all over his soft soles making Luigi scream. He beat his fists on the bed while trying to squirm away, but nothing worked.
“You’re such a ticklish little cutie! Aww I think you’re the tickle monster’s favorite victim.. look at you all giggly, and helpless! I could just tickle tickle tickle you for hours!! Kitchy kitchy coo!!” Bowser’s teasing kicked up a notch as his fingers made their way under Luigi’s toes earning him a loud screech, and high pitched loud laughter.
“PLEASE NOT THE TOHOHOES WAHAHAHA B-BOW- NA-,” Luigi cackled.
His laughter went silent except for the strangled hiccups, and shallow squeaky breaths. Bowser slowed his attack, letting Luigi catch his breath. His fingers never left Luigi’s skin as to keep him giggling. When Luigi calmed down, he quickly (but very lightly) scribbled his poked out claws on his arches. Luigi squealed once again. He couldn’t think about anything else other than the constant threat of tickling leering over him as he caught his breath. He finally felt Bowser release his ankles, and he quickly pulled his feet close to him, curling in on himself. Bowser crawled over, and picked him up, laying him back on the pillows. He laid down next to him, spooning him. Bowser absolutely adored hearing the residue giggles, and quiet snorts that escaped Luigi occasionally.
“See what happens when you mess with the tickle monster..” Bowser whispered teasingly in Luigi’s ear.
Hell, even that tickled.
Luigi could only muster up a head nod in response.
“I know you like it, though. Why else would you have tried to get me a second time when you knew what was in store? I know that you absolutely love being tickled.. and I love that you love being tickled,” Bowser teased.
Luigi covered his now red ears.
“You’re the most adorable boy ever, you know that, Luigi?”
“S-stop..” Luigi giggled out. Bowser chuckled and kissed the back of his head.
“Alright I’ll stop.. goodnight, my love,” he said.
Luigi replied, and soon fell asleep. As he fell asleep, he thought about how he was dating a literal tickle monster whilst Bowser thought about how lucky he was to have such an adorable, amazing, ticklish boy as his boyfriend.
