"i said, redfield, i don't think you're that strong."

the two of you held steady eye contact for several seconds, your arms crossed over your puffed out chest. chris had his hands idle on his hips before tilting his head sideways, narrowing his eyes. "would you like to test that?"

without a further word, you were effortlessly thrown over his shoulder. a squeak sounded from your lips, fading into quiet giggles as you hit his upper back with your fists. "hey! puhut me down, redfield!"

the man chuckled, shaking his head and patting the back of your thigh with one hand as he led the two of you down the hall and into the living room. "sure, baby."

you were suddenly thrown onto the soft plush of the couch, having no time to react before chris was straddling your upper thighs. you grunted, pushing at his chest with failed attempts of getting him off of you. "chris! you're h-heavy!"

chris smirked, putting his big hands on the tops of yours and gently pushing them away from his torso. "oh? is that because i'm too strong?"

you shook your head with a puff of exertion, too focused on the immense amount of weight currently sitting on your legs to notice the soldier pinning your arms under his knees. "no! it's because you're too-aha!"

a sudden pinch to both of your sides caught you off guard, interrupting your sentence to prompt a shrill yelp instead. your eyes snapped up to chris, and they went wide at seeing the playfully evil expression on his face.

it was too late when you realized your unfortunate situation. chris redfield had you exactly where he wanted you.

he stared down at you with palms flat on your sides, a gentle smirk gracing his narrowed eyes. "you wanna finish that sentence, honey?"

you stammered over your words, a heat creeping into your cheeks as you shook your head with nervous giggles. your eyes were full of panic, searching his for any means of maybe talking him out of this. he looked settled though, so you let that nervous feeling make your stomach drop.

he left you no time to retort, fingers starting up again as he gently wiggled them all over your sides. you squealed, a bright smile replacing your small nervous one as bubbly giggles sounded into the room around you both. "c-chrihihis!"

he let out a small chuckle, laughing along with you. "yes, giggles?"

the nickname only made you blush more, laughter rising in pitch as those meticulous hands of his crawled to the center of your stomach. he scribbled lightly over your shirt, mixing in a few pokes and squeezes before sliding his hands lower and creeping them underneath your clothing.

you squealed at the increasingly ticklish feeling of his warm hands on your bare skin, sucking in your tummy and squirming as much as the weight on top of you would allow. he used a single finger to wiggle right below your navel.

"aw, you can't get away now, can you?" chris stuck his bottom lip out, teasing you in a mock sympathetic tone. "that wouldn't happen to be because of my tremendous amount of strength, right?"

you shook your head through tiny snickers, stomach trembling under his one digit. "nohoho it's nohot!"

chris hummed, nodding his head at your giggly words. both hands were added back into the mix, ten fingers gliding ever so gently up and down your exposed sides. you sucked in a breath, heavier giggles flowing past your lips like a symphony. "why don't you fight back then?"

if you could growl at him, you would. you were stubborn though, strong-willed and committed to pushing his buttons. which is how you ended up in this situation in the first place...

"l-lehehet my hahands go and i'll shohow YOHOU-"

"wrong answer, baby."

chris' fingers were latched onto your ribs in a matter of seconds, squeezing mercilessly and causing you to throw your head back with boisterous squeals and cackles. he knew this spot always caused a great reaction; he never afraid to go after it if he had to.

"CHRIHIS!"

his calloused fingertips shook in between the divots of your lower ribs, hiking up more and wiggling furiously into your higher ones. he repeated this motion over and over, well after the outer corners of your eyelids crinkled and your heels slammed against the couch underneath you.

chris beamed at your reactions, finding them extremely endearing and snickering a bit when you fell into silent laughter. he eased up, travelling back to your stomach and softly wiggling them all over. "you admit you're wrong, and i'll let you go. that sound fair?"

you giggled madly in between huffs of air, head resting against the soft cushion of the couch and half-glazed eyes peering up at the man above you. your stomach twitched, torso jerking each time he grazed over an extra sensitive spot.

"ohohokay, ihihi wahas-ahaha!"

chris quickened up his pace, spidering them precisely along your lower stomach, just above where your pants clung loosely on your hips. you let out a long squeal, followed by more laughter, louder in volume this time. he travelled his fingers back and forth, nearing your sides and bringing them back whenever you would yelp.

his eyebrows narrowed playfully, his small grin widening into a shit-eating smirk. "well, i'm waiting for your response! don't make me go after your hips..."

the threat loomed over you, making your eyes go wide as you shook your head with a new induced panic. you struggled more, pulling on your arms again. "n-nohoho!"

"hmm, i don't know," chris leaned down more, zoning in on the center of your lower tummy and suddenly shaking his fingers in. you shrieked, bucking your hips up slightly and letting out more cackles. "those giggles just won't go away, you might need some help getting your words out!"

"IHI DOHON'T-"

"don't worry, giggledoll, i'll get all that pretty laughter out first."

without another word, chris' hands latched onto your hips, thumbs rubbing deep circles into the bones and fingers digging into your lower back. intense was an understatement for the feeling of it. chris was well aware this was a death spot, and you really did think this would be the end if he didn't let up soon.

your head banged softly against the couch, feet slamming the same way as you thrashed under him. he chuckled softly, practically cooing at the hysterical mess he was making with just his two hands. "aww, there we go. let it all out, baby."

your laughter echoed around the room, fading in and out of silence as he weakened your entire body. you nodded your head quickly, signaling you were trying to speak. chris stopped entirely, letting those tiny giggles air out before giving an expectant look. "and what would you like to tell me, hmm?"

you blushed slightly, taking in a deep breath of air before grinning up at him. "ihi admit i wahas wrong. you're the strongest man i know, redfield."

chris let out a sharp laugh, nodding his head with a confident smirk. "damn right, i am." he leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss to your lips.

you reciprocated, closing your eyes and melting into it. your own bubbly giggles interrupted though, the feeling of chris' fingers wiggling on your sides breaking the closed distance between your lips. "chrihihihis!"

you looked over to chris beside you on the couch, eyes silently pleading for him to be nice. he smirked, glancing between leon in the doorway and your sudden nervous figure cuddling up to him. the hand around your waist squeezed once and he shook his head at leon.

"they've been a total brat."

leon grinned, eyes narrowing towards you as he took his gear off and stepped forward to set it down. his head titled to the side and he huffed out a small chuckle. "and did you teach them their lesson already?"

chris nodded, letting out a laugh of his own as he turned to you again. your face heated up and you looked away, avoiding the four eyes on you and staring down at the floor with a nervous grin. "oh yes," chris noticed your avoiding gaze and poked your side a couple times, "they fixed that attitude real quick."

your hand landed on top of his, tiny giggles sputtering past your lips as you tried to pull his hand away. "h-hehey-"

"but i think they might need some extra encouragement to keep that good behavior up."

your head shot back to chris, eyes going wide. he stared at you with a sadistic smirk; the same one you saw earlier as he was reducing you to near tears.

leon spoke up, coming closer to the couch with his own shit-eating smirk. "oh really? i'd be glad to help."

it all happened so fast. chris scooped you up from the couch, ignoring your giggly pleas and the swatting on his back. leon followed behind him as he carried you to the bedroom. you met the soft mattress with a squeal, having no time to even attempt to get up before the blonde man sat on top of your upper thighs.

"wahahait! g-guhuys, i lehehearned my lessohohon!"

chris crept up onto the bed behind you, grabbing your arms and pulling them above your head. you only giggled louder, anticipation flooding your stomach as the two of them stared down at you with nasty smirks.

"we know, baby," chris started, putting both your wrists in one of his big hands, "think of this as...an extra precaution."

leon's hands touched down on your sides, making you jerk and yelp while he rested them there idly. "e-ehehextra precaution fohor whahat?"

chris and leon lifted their heads to look at each other, both of their heads wracking for an answer. seconds passed when leon shrugged his shoulders and peered down at you.

"i don't know. i just wanna tickle you."

the next sound out of your mouth was a squeak as the hands on your sides crept under your shirt and scribbled on your bare skin. giggles poured out in airy peals, body twitching as leon's calloused fingers skittered up and down your sides in quick motions.

chris spoke up from his place above you, gazing down at you with a softer grin. "aw, he's going easy on you."

leon chuckled at his comment. "how bad did you get them earlier, huh?"

"they were near tears by the time i was through with them," he narrowed his eyes at you with a smirk, "happy tears of course. isn't that right?"

your face heated up at that, head shaking in protest at both his statement and leon's fingers making their way up to your ribs. "nohoho!"

"no?" chris questioned, "but what about that huge smile on your face, huh?"

you shrieked and fell into bubbly laughter, pulling on your arms when leon dug into your lower ribs.

chris smiled widly, "just like that one!"

"they're definitely enjoying this."

you couldn't even meet leon's eyes after that, settling for squeezing them shut in mirth. his thumbs dug in, switching between squeezing your ribs and shaking his fingers into the divots.

that made your legs kick out, along with your head being thrown back as an ear-piercing shriek rang out around the large bedroom. they were both partially taken aback, and only grinned down at you further.

"aww, is this too much for you already? leon has hardly done anything!"

leon chuckled before dropping and slowing his fingers down to light scribbles over your tummy. your heavy laughter switched to those airy giggles again, your squirming slowing to little jerks and twitches.

"they're never able to endure much when we're both tickling them," leon grinned.

chris huffed out a laugh above you, squeezing your wrists in his hand once. "hell, i haven't even joined in yet!"

your eyes shot open at his words, head shaking as titters poured out of you. "y-yehehehet?!"

chris cheesed at you, using his free hand to move your hair neatly out of your face. "yes, sweetheart! leon, where do you think i should start?"

"wai-"

leon hummed, squeezing your side a few times to silence any pleads for squeals instead. "well, chris, anywhere you want. they love it all, really."

"NOHOT TRUE!"

chris' idle hand on your head landed on your neck, making your shoulders scrunch up as he skittered them gently all across the sides. when you move your head to cover one side, he would simply move to the other area.

"chrihihihis!"

"what is it, honey? you want me to keep going?"

you shook your head wildly with a big grin. "noho!"

leon spoke up, both his hands trailing down to your hips. "you're lying to us now?"

the hands on your hips squeezed once and you shrieked, bucking up. "NAHAHA-"

"ohh," chris started, clicking his tongue with a shake of his head, "i think they are. this whole thing is to help them learn their lesson after all!"

chris' hand found your underarm, lightly digging in with his thumb and ripping another shriek from your chest.

the two of them continued their attack until you were near silent hysterics. leon let up on your hips first, his deadly squeezes easing up to gentle rubs with his thumbs. chris took his hand away from your underarm, putting it on top of your head to stroke your hair gently.

you laid in between them as tiny giggles poured out in random intervals, chest heaving as you caught your breath. the two men stared down at you with soft grins, their eyes on you making your cheeks heat up.

"you gonna keep acting like a brat while i'm gone?" leon questioned.

you shook your head, giving him a nervous smile. he took it as an answer, leaning down to press a soft kiss to your lips before getting off your waist with a grunt.

chris let go of your wrists, letting you lay there for a moment before scooping you up and adjusting your position on the bed. the two of them lied on either side of you, resting their head on one of their elbows and grinning at you.

you peered between them, raising an eyebrow in confusion. "why are you guys looking at me like that?"

chris spoke up first. "we both know why you act like that."

your eyebrows narrowed. "huh?"

"cause you love it when we tickle you."

your head snapped to leon, who had a smirk on his face. "what?" he questioned.

"t-that is not true!"

chris appeared closer to your ear, whispering into it and purposely rubbing his stubble into the back of your neck. "sure it isn't, honey."

you giggled a few times, ducking your head closer to leon. "ehehenough!"

leon chuckled, moving a strand of hair out of your face and pressing a kiss to your temple. "that's alright. you don't have to admit anything, sweetheart."

you and him both knew that, and as eddie's teasing voice rang out from the other room, your stomach grew more nerved with anticipation. the wide smile on your face betrayed this feeling though; it was obvious how excited you were to be found.

"i'm gonna find you, darling!"

the tiniest of a panicked giggle slipped out and you continued running, coming across a small room piled with crates and boxes full of who knows what. time was dwindling, so you settled for crouching behind one of the tall containers.

"ready or not, doll, here i come!"

he sounded far away, but these halls liked to echo. you stayed quiet and still, save for your light breathing. the smile on your face threatened to split, and his playful teasing only made it wider. you had to put a hand over your mouth to stifle a nervous giggle. his voice rang out a minute later.

"where are you? i know my darling wants to be tickled!"

somehow, someway, he sounded right outside the room. there was no way he'd find you so quickly?! your stomach dropped as you waited, and it dropped even more when you heard the door creak open.

his footsteps grew louder as he slowly walked inside. thankfully, he couldn't see you from his position. you held your breath.

"is my ticklish little darling hiding in here?"

his voice was low and playful, the hint of devilry revealing itself as he chuckled. you didn't dare peek out from behind the crate.

eddie hummed deeply. you heard his footing subdue, quieting as he walked back towards the door. it creaked again, shutting with a gentle slam. you sighed, whether with relief or disappointment, you weren't sure. maybe you could switch spots?

you debated with yourself in your head. he knows you couldn't have gone far. maybe he'd come check again? leaving the room could be risky if he were to-

"gotcha!"

your shriek rang out through the room as his voice sounded right beside your ear. you had no time to spin around before his strong arms wrapped around your waist. he chuckled, lifting you off your feet and carrying you out towards the middle of the room.

your giggles started up before you could even think, head shaking with pleas stuttering out as you struggled to escape his grip. he gently laid you on the floor, taking your fighting hands in one of his and raising them above your head.

"wait wait wahahait! eddie!"

"shh, darling. you knew this would happen. you want this, right?"

more giggles bubbled out of you as you pulled on your arms. you watched as he straddled your lap, rendering you immobile as your legs kicked out behind him. "n-nohoho!"

he feigned a gasp, putting his hand over his heart. "no? you pain me, sweetheart. you wouldn't like it if i did this?"

his hand touched down on your tummy, fingers crawling under your shirt. you shivered at the coldness of them, stomach sucking in as he slowly started wiggling his fingers on your bare skin.

"a-aha! eheheddie!"

"how kind of you to let me warm my fingers up, dear! tell me, does this tickle?"

you nodded your head through a squeal, giggles becoming squeaky and high-pitched as he trailed them on the center of your tummy. his grin was soft, eyes full of awe and adoration as he basked in your titters like the sunlight itself.

"aww, how wonderful!"

his fingers dug in slightly, shaking your tummy for just a moment before slowing to skitters again. you jerked at the touch, a deep squeal emitting past your lips. your arms tugged down, but found eddie's strength to outmatch theirs.

"ihihi cahahan't!"

he titled his head. "you can't? can't what, my dear? take your tickles?"

he leaned down slightly, his smile widening into a sneer. "you must though! i found you in our little game. you didn't run very far though. perhaps you wanted to be found?"

your cheeks heated at his accusation and you shook your head. he hummed in response, raising a questioning brow. his hand trailed to your side, giving a few squeezes before switching to light scribbles. "is that so? you didn't want me to catch you and tickle you to pieces?"

you squealed, throwing your head back in giddy laughter. "noho!"

eddie chuckled softly. "oh, i think those pretty giggles are giving you away, darling!"

his hand found your other side, making your torso jump slightly as he squeezed up and down the length of your waist. your feet hit against the floor, echoing throughout the small space.

"eheheddie!"

"yes, my pretty darling?"

"ihihit...ihit-ahaha!"

those fingers of his skittered up towards your ribs, settling nicely on the lower divots and raking up and down them. you shrieked before falling into louder, airy laughter.

"it what, sweetheart? use your words! or am i tickling you too much?"

you nodded again and eddie laughed along with you. "oh dear. you poor, ticklish thing. i'm sorry, darling." he gave you a fake sympathy frown.

you hiccuped between stutters. "y-you're nohohot sohohorry!"

his frown quickly changed into a bright grin, fingers climbing higher to your upper ribs and skittering quickly. "you're right, dear. i'm not. i know how much you just absolutely love this!"

he kept up with his scribbling for a minute longer, drawing squeals and snickers and squeaky giggles out of you before slowing his fingers to a halt. he peered down at you with a gentle grin.

"aww, look at that gorgeous smile."

your cheeks grew pinker, eyes evading his as a few more giggles slipped out. he leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss to your cheek, bringing his hand up to move some stray hairs out of your face.

"i have just one more thing, darling."

he let go of your wrists and scooted down your waist, settling atop your thighs. you watched him in confusion, bringing your arms down to protectively cover your torso. eddie shook his head.

"no no, dear. we need these out of the way."

he grabbed your hands and gently put them on either side of you. his own hands found your sides and gripped them softly, keeping your waist in place as he slowly leaned down. he slowly lifted your shirt up more to reveal the whole of your tummy.

your eyes went wide at the realization, panicked giggles spewing past your lips as your squirming doubled. your hands flew up to his shoulders, trying their best and failing at pushing him away.

"eddie! nohohot thahat, plehehease!"

"oh, darling. but this is my favorite part!"

his head was right above your tummy, eyes staring up at your nervous face with a mischievous gleam. he sucked in a large breath and you sucked in your stomach. "EDDIE!"

his lips touched down on your warmed skin, blowing a raspberry on the very center of your waist. you screamed, head instantly thrown back in mirth as your hands found the top of his head and pushed. of course, it didn't affect him and he quickly blew another one.

"aww. this poor, quivering little tummy is all mine! how delightful!"

he nuzzled his head further into the plush, only making your laughter increase in volume. you slapped against his shoulders, his head, his arms; just about anywhere in response to his playful assault.

"PLEHEASE!"

"please what, darling? tickle you more? of course!"

the hands on your waist started up, gently fluttering against your sides and making your writhe underneath him. his lips kissed your tummy, leaving no spot untouched as he cooed at you.

"such a-mwah! beautiful tummy-mwah! and it's all for me-mwah! to play with!"

your face absolutely burned at his teasing, laughter dying down to bubbly giggles once again. you brought your hands up to cover your face, snickering into your palms and shaking under his soft touches.

eddie cooed, finally letting up on his attack and gently rubbing his hands along your sides. "i'm all done now, my darling. wasn't that fun?"

you giggled out some more, chest rising and falling as you regained your breath. you felt his hand stroking your hair and you uncovered your reddened face, peeking up at him with a wide, bashful smile.

"you're mehean."

he gasped, tilting his head in confusion. "mean?! how could something you love be mean, sweetheart?"

he had you there, although you'd never admit it out loud. you chose not to respond, instead pretending like you were still getting your stamina back. eddie rose from your thighs, standing tall over you and leaning down to give you a hand.

"up you get now, darling!"

you took his hand with a giggle, getting to your feet and wiping off the back of your clothes. he grinned down at you, adjusting his bowtie before pressing a chaste kiss to your knuckles.

"are you ready for round two now?"

you stared at him in shock, eyes going wide as you backed up slightly. "what?! it's supposed to be my turn to seek!"

eddie chuckled, that devilish glint appearing in his eyes once more. "i fear you're mistaken, darling. it's always my turn to find you."

"but-"

"thirty...twenty-nine..."

moira had visibly tensed under your touch, not daring to look away from her laptop screen as she desperately tried to not let even a single twitch show. “i….i highly advise you drop... whatever dull idea you might have.”

you remained quiet, letting the anticipation build, along with the rigidness in moira’s muscles before you finally unlatched your fingers.

she visibly relaxed, letting out a sigh of relief that she tried so hard to hide, but you noticed it anyway. you giggled, standing up straight again and walking away with a proud grin.

now, the roles had switched. several days later, when you had halfway forgotten about that moment, you found yourself jerking under her slim fingers on your ribs.

those damned nails dragged ever so slowly as she loomed over you with a greater threatening presence than you had seen in a while. “oh dear. this is quite the predicament you’ve found yourself in. is this…distracting?”

you gritted your teeth, arms screaming to crash onto your sides, but you held strong, not wanting to give her what she was seeking for. she knew she would break you though, leaning in to softly speak into your ear. her breath was warm on your ear, making you shiver.

"i will say, you've earned yourself the slightest of lenience for stopping when you did. that head of yours isn't that foolish."

you tilted your head away with a tiny squeak when she gently blew into your ear.

"although, you know better than to test me at all."

her nails scraped down your ribs and to your sides, gliding lower until they reached your hips and trailed back up again. there was more purpose to it this time. it made your back arch as an unusual screech spewed past your lips.

your arms did crash down now, straight to your sides and trapping her hands between them and your torso. unfortunately, it did little to deter her movements. her delicate tracing turned sinister, long nails replaced by fingers as she squeezed mercilessly at your sides instead.

"m-moir-ah! noho, plehease!"

heavy laughter rushed out of you, echoing off the thin walls and making moira smirk. you couldn't see the look on her face, but you could definitely hear it in the way she whispered against your neck.

"such a ridiculous amount of sensitivity. you'd make quite the experiment."

your face heated at that, head dropping lower as you stared holes into the desk below you. you writhed under her grueling touch, nerves lit on fire as she seemed to know just where to prod to get another shriek out of you.

you doubled over, head almost lying against the table now when she stepped closer against the back of your chair. she practically had you trapped between the desk and her. there was no room to get up unless she moved away, which didn't seem plausible any time soon.

her hands escaped their narrow enclosure, and you took the opportunity to wrap your arms around yourself, fully blocking any spots she might try to pursue. moira only hummed confidently though, like she had something else planned.

and she did. those long nails trailed down the center of your back in a tauntingly slow motion. you squealed loudly, snapping up and arching your back as far as it would allow. you sucked in a harsh breath before falling into titters and bubbly giggles.

"moirahaha!"

"hold still, dear."

one hand held onto your shoulder, slightly pushing you forward and bringing your back closer to her again. you shook your head, finding her grip to be quite strong as you made the futile effort of pulling away from her.

she grinned behind you, thoroughly amused at your failed attempt of escape. her free hand found your back once more, trailing towards one of your shoulder blades until her thumb reached the bone. she dug in meticulously, taking one of her educated guesses and being thrilled as she got the reaction she hoped for.

you jerked under her touch, twisting left and right and spewing more hearty laughter as she made you crumble under her touch. your arms were still hugging yourself, unsure of what to do and unable to reach for her hand behind you.

"what a peculiar spot to be ticklish. where else might they hide, hmm?"

before you could plead, the hand on your shoulder squeezed into the muscle repeatedly. you twitched with a new bout of laughter, your shoulder scrunching up towards your head in an attempt to alleviate the sensation.

"plehease, d-dohoctor! a-ah!"

moira hummed in thought, yet not stopping her squeezing or digging. you sat there rigidly and in peals of mirth as she debated with herself in her head.

"now, now, pet. your hypersensitivity is questionable, and all those miniscule spots that make you beg must be uncovered and answered."

the faintest sound of a whine unveiled in between your shrieks and cackles. moira's downright entertained voice spoke out next to your ear.
