Person A: You look like you're having fun.

Person B: *Snorts*

Person A: You like that?

Person B: Sh- shut uhup!

Person A: Dude you LITERALLY asked for this. Don't act like you're not loooooving it ♥︎

Person B: N- eEEK!!

“Oh…” “My…” “God…”

Those were the only words you found yourself able to muster when you were looking at the situation in front of you. Ever since you found yourself trapped in The Amazing Digital Circus, you quickly grew to learn to expect the unexpected within this digital world. From the over the top ‘adventures’ and ‘quest’ you go on, the slightly overwhelming scenery and locations around you, and the very…enthusiastic…ideas from the ringleader Caine; it became second nature to always keep your head on a swivel while within this new world. The only reprieve you'd find yourself having would be the downtime you spent with the other troupe members in the circus grounds, well…most of them; and the comfort and quiet of your own room within grounds as well. At least, you had believed that to be true, until a loud crashing sound rang out within the grounds as you were hanging out with some of the other troupe members; a sound that seemed to come directly from…your room?!

The moment you heard the noise; alarm bells were already going off in your head, as you excused yourself from the group before dashing towards your room. Possibilities of what exactly could have caused the noise began to race in your head…and almost all of them weren’t good. At best it was probably something that dropped and caused some sort of chain reaction in your room, a simple cleanup job needing to be done; but at worst, you knew of the chaos that Caine could bring on any day so long as he wishes it…along with some of the more…uncontrollable dangers found within this world. Your thoughts only drove you further to find the source of the noise as you had finally made your way to your door; hoping with everything you got that nothing…abstracted…found its way in there. 

But…as you began to turn the knob on your door, you began to hear a new noise…or rather…a voice…one you recognized all too well.

“Argh, well…ain't this just lovely.”

And as you slowly opened your door to find the answers to your questions, it took every bit of your power to hold back the smile that was forming on your face when you saw what…or rather…who made the noise.

“H-Huh?! O-Oh…well…fancy seeing you…here?~”

That voice would belong to that of another denizen of the circus troupe that you have come to know…in some very mixed ways. This individual was in fact a rabbit-like individual who looked to be fairly tall and lanky for the most part. His fur had a light purple color which looked to match well with the yellow color that both his eyes and mouth had. His ears were fairly tall in height and his three-toed paws were fairly large too; two stark contrasts to the rest of his lanky body shape. As usual, the rabbit had on his signature outfit of red overalls with yellow gloves; two colors that would compliment each other well clothing wise. 

The sight that you would find to welcome you as you opened the door would be the sight of the rascally rabbit you’ve come to know as Jax. The very same rabbit that was currently tangled in your room by a plethora of colorful streamers that looked to be tied up by your room's chandelier. The rabbit’s eyes looked to try to feign innocence as you tried your hardest not to laugh at the current situation…as hints of curiosity, and a bit of annoyance, began to grow.

“J-Jax…” You attempted to state as a giggle almost escaped your lips, trying desperately hard to look upset at the obvious attempt at mischief that the rabbit tried to pull, “I’m only going to ask you this once, what…are you doing…in my room?”

It hadn’t taken long after your arrival into the circus when you had the…pleasure…of being introduced to Jax. That pleasure being that you found yourself running into the wrong room in the circus grounds; the very same moment that when the rabbit stated that signs were swapped “accidentally”. Since that first day, you have been one of Jax's favored targets for his schemes and pranks. You tried to ask just why he pranked you a lot more than the others, he would say—

“—because your a treasure trove of trouble waiting to be made doll~”

However; over time you would begin to see that while you were the rabbits favored victims to prank…he would never go too far or do harm with them. Once more…he would take a moment to show a genuine smile when you had begun to play along with these pranks as well. It was this…severely unexpected turn of events where you two would share this…unique form of friendship. A friendship that entails a good amount of chaotic pranking and ribbing…but one that in truth, was fairly genuine and sweet. 

However…that would not excuse the rabbit of the current situation of being in your room right now! And when the rabbit heard your question laced with growing annoyance; he didn’t waste a second to respond as he tried to untangle himself from the streamers he was trapped in.

“W-Well it’s funny you ask actually,” Jax would begin as he gave a small grunt of effort to bring down one of his arms from the tangled streamers to no avail, “You see, I thought I forgot something in your room the last time I popped in to say hello-”

“-You mean when you wanted to steal one of my pillows because yours weren’t ‘too fluffy enough?’,” You would clarify as you crossed your arms while hearing that rabbits “explanation”

“Eh details, details,” The rabbit would blow off before giving an absolutely innocent smile to you in turn as he finished his explanation, “So I only came in here to get that thing back, but you weren’t in your room so…I let myself in with the keys I got.”

Now at this point you knew for a fact that Jax wasn’t just here cause he “forgot” something. And you had a pretty distinct feeling that due to the current spiderweb of streamers that were now around your room and the rabbit; he had something else in mind. But at the same time; you could not help but find the fact that one of the rabbits' pranks actually backfiring on him absolutely hilarious. This was absolutely an attempt at a prank…but you just had to hear it from the rabbit that it backfired.

“Uh-huuuuh,” you replied with a sarcastically convinced tone as you raised a brow and motioned to the streamers the rabbit was in, “So how did all these streamers get here then huh jax…cause last time I checked I wasn’t planning on throwing a party in here…though, I can’t say I oppose the gift that came with it.”

As you stated the obvious of the current situation before you, you could see that Jax was trying to come up with the perfect excuse for the streamers. You pretty much had his whole idea figured out that these streamers were meant to tangle you…and not him. But now that the rabbit was cornered from his scheme, he’s already trying to worm his way out of it.

“O-Oh this…oh it's nothing really,” Jax tried to play off with another grunt of effort to escape the streamers, “These streamers were the things I forgotten is all and I just-hngng-just tripped on them while trying to–” “You were gonna trap me with those streamers weren’t you?” You asked the question before even letting Jax have the chance to finish the story he was trying to spin to get out of this web he was in…figuratively and literally, “Buuuut…seems as though it backfired on ya didn’t it?”

Jax would in turn give a dramatic gasp of supposed “shock” as he would hear what you said; knowing full well he was caught red handed…but didn’t want to deter his prankful pride. “Me? Trap you? I’m honestly offended, doll,” Jax would declare with a smug smile, “I am much more professional with the pranks I pull…this…this ain’t backfired at all just…all part of the plan.”

You couldn’t help but give a small annoyed pout at the reply from Jax and his dodge of the question. Figures, the rabbit was as stubborn in being wrong as he was prideful in his trickery; so the fact that he wouldn’t admit that this prank backfired on him was honestly expected. But this was a moment that you couldn’t just pass up, it was like catching lightning in a bottle for Pete’s sake! Here he was, tangled up in the trap that he tried to spring on you; and now you had the chance to not only make him admit he isn’t as masterful in pranking as he claims to be, but to also get back at him for even trying to pull this prank in the first place. It was the perfect “two birds with one stone” chance that you couldn’t just pass up! There was only one question that crossed your mind as you looked at the rascally rabbit…just how would you go about your revenge in the first place?

“You know if you keep staring at me like that I might think you like me or something~” Jax would interrupt your train of thought as he would give a smug look in your direction, a clear attempt to throw you off from the idea that the rabbit failed in pranking you as he tugged at the streams he was trapped in. “So how’s about we pretend this never even happened and you can kinda just…help me out, how’s that sound doll?~”

You could practically feel your annoyance flare up the moment that the rabbit made that comment. He’s trying to turn this on you when he’s the one all tied up?! The nerve of this rabbit! Your eyes would shoot back at him as you gave yourself a moment to get a good look at just how tied up the rabbit was at the moment through your annoyed glare. 

From where you were standing you saw that the streamers had tied up Jax enough to have him hover a bit off the ground. His right arm was tangled up a bit higher than his left arm; but both arms were definitely raised above his head with little room to get pulled down again. The rabbits left leg was also unlucky in being tied up in the streamer; tangling just below the knee so that it was raised up. His right leg however was free and simply hovering just a few inches off the ground; barely touching the floor of your room with his paw. Simply put, he was practically in a colorful spider web of his own creation; and as you walked up to him, your annoyance would resort to you finding the answer you needed…and you wouldn’t even know it…for about a few seconds at least

“Help you out? You’re kidding right, after trying to pull this,” Your retorted, moving a hand over to give a firm but harmless poke to the rabbits side out of annoyance, “I should just leave you here just to see how long it takes you to get yourself out of your own mess.”

Jax was smug when it came to hearing your annoyed reply, which was the typical reaction whenever he pulled a prank on you. But the moment that you had poked him in his side, you could see that the rabbit's expression…changed. What was once a smug smile had slightly shifted, the corners of the rabbit's mouth almost shivering. And…for whatever reason…you could have sworn that you heard him squeak…did he squeak?

“Jax…” you asked with a look of growing curiosity on your face, with hints of that annoyance still evident as you looked at the rabbit, “What was that?”

Jax on the other hand looked as though he was trying to regain his composure. His face still showed that shifting wobbly smile that seemed to grow from his smug one. His eyes also looked a bit…nervous? And as you continued to gaze at the tangled bunny, you started to see hints of a growing blush show on his face as well.

“N-Nothing at all doll, it ain’t the point anyways,” Jax answered as he cleared his throat as he gave another tug to the streams around his arms, “B-Besides…I didn’t pull anything on you, but that ain’t stopping you from pulling me free right?~”

At this point it was apparent that something changed the rabbits tempo from the smugness he was showing before. But you couldn’t for the life of you figure out just why he was acting so…flustered all of a sudden? Why was he blushing? Why was his smile wobbly? All you did was give him a…poke on his…side…

…wait a minute

A realization dawned on you that you had not even considered in all your time knowing the rabbit. A realization that in hindsight would have been so obvious to at least try but had never crossed your mind to do. But that one poke would be all the evidence you needed to confirm the realization you made. At the same time, that one poke would also become the answer you were looking for to get back at the rabbit. As the gears began to turn in your head, your face began to change as well; shifting from a look of annoyance, to one that showed pure…unrestrained…mischief. It was a look that Jax took note of with growing nervousness as you looked to him with your newfound idea.

“H-Hey…w-what’s that look for?” Jax stuttered out as he squirmed a bit in his colorful bindings, “Y-You wouldn’t actually leave me hanging like this would ya doll?~”

As Jax attempted to reason with you, you would begin to take a few slow steps toward the rabbit. You would begin to circle the tangled prankster, walking around him like a shark circling newfound prey. Your face was unchanging as all the fears clicked into place and were ready to enact your revenge.

“Oh not at all Jax, I wouldn’t dream of just leaving you here with no way out,” You began with a mischievous lull in your voice as you circled, “But…that doesn’t mean I’m just gonna let you go without getting something in return~”

“O-Oh yeah?” Jax would reply as he attempted to follow your circling with his head, a shiver coursing through his whole body in anticipation of what you were scheming, “And what exactly would you want from me even?”

“Simple,” You stated as you stopped yourself right behind Jax, out of the rabbits sight and perfectly defenseless, “Admit that your prank failed…and that I’m the better prankster~”

The moment the rabbit heard your terms of setting him free, he would grunt in sarcastic amusement. Though he couldn’t see you, he could feel that you were right behind him, inches away from his back. He would motion his head while rolling his eyes in response to your statement, shaking the streamers a bit doing so.

“In your dreams,” Jax would retort, “You ain’t gonna make me say it doll, might as well just set me free~”

Those words would be exactly what you wanted to hear from the rabbit. As you would give an impish…almost teasing snicker as you stood behind the trapped rabbit. You would begin to raise one hand towards Jax’s right side; utterly defenseless…and now…utterly at your mercy. It was payback time…and you were going to enjoy every minute of it as you said a simple, yet decisive response.

“Suit Yourself Bunny Boy~”

Without another second wasted, you would go on and execute your little…revenge plan. With that raised hand now at the rabbits side, you’d lift a lone finger that would touch down on the lower base of the spot. You’d see the initial touch send a small visual shiver through the rabbits, just as you wanted it to, let him realize what’s about to happen. You would then direct that finger to begin slowly tracing from the base up to the bottom rib. It would be that slow teasing motion that would elicit the sound you wanted to hear from the rabbit.

“Gy-Gyehehehe h-hey!” The rabbit would stutter out as a giggle looked to escape his mouth, trying to look over to you from the side of his head in almost flustered fear, “W-What do you thihihink you're doing back thehehere?!”

Giving a little hum of amusement at the rabbits initial reaction, you’d then decide to kick it up a notch. As the lone finger finished its ascent up the Jax’s right side, you’d move your other hand towards the rabbits left side as well. With both hands now primed to attack, you’d extend two fingers out towards their desired targets. Those fingers would then start to slowly flutter right on the middle of the rabbits sides, gently pressing into the soft skin under the fur.

“Just getting some well deserved payback for all the times you pulled something on me,” you’d answer with a impish tone as you’d flutter your fingers directly on the rabbits defenseless sides, “I mean if you aren’t going to admit your prank failed, I can always just make you admit it. After all, I think that’d be much more fun too, don’t you think?~”

It didn’t take long for the Jax to put the pieces together as to what you intended to do, and for a split second you could see a blush forming on the rabbit’s face before he turned his head away to hide it. Though it didn’t help that most of his strength was being used to hide the growing smile on his face and to squirm out of the fluttering fingers that were now attacking his sides. The rabbit attempted to shimmy between the attacking hands, however, for each time he’d squirm he’d only be met by the gentle but unbearable touch of your fingers wiggling on his soft fur. Once more, the sputtering giggles that were coming from the rabbit also looked to grow as well, it seemed like someone’s got a sweet spot on his sides. 

“M-Mghghghghgh I-I swehehehehear when ihihihih g-get outtahahahaha here–,” The rascally rabbit attempted to threaten before sputter of giggles escaped from him as your fingers moved up to gently skitter on his upper sides, “G-GYEhehehehemph! I-Ihihihif yohohou think th-this is gohohohohonna wohohork, thehehen yohohohu’re just as gullihihihihible as yohohou ahaha-are ohohoblivious.”

That little jab would make you glare at the rabbit; both out of sheer disbelief of his resilience, but also out of a growing surprise at his stubbornness. He was in the midst of being tickled and he was still trying to find ways to get at you; you were supposed to get him riled up, not the other way around! Though that little jab wouldn’t deter you from your revenge against the rabbit, if anything it would only drive you to up the ante on him because of it. And as you would continue to flutter your two fingers on each of Jax’s sides, you could only wonder if there were other sweet spots that you could discover, or even better…a death spot.

“Well then, I guess I'm just gonna have to try harder, won't I?” You’d retort with a glaring smirk as you began to move your hands from the rabbit’s sides. Thoughts of where to strike next circling your mind before you finally decide on your next target.

Moving your hands upwards, you’d begin making the journey up from the rabbit’s sides and towards his raised arms, much to the rabbits lack of realization. Just before Jax could even ask where you were going; you’d proceed to hook your hands into the rabbit’s underarms, letting all your fingers touch down on the defenseless area’s. Once hooked on, you’d begin to rapidly skitter your fingers into the fur of your temporary prisoner, pressing your digits into the soft fur as if you were typing out an essay. Attacking this spot also allowed you to get closer to the rabbit's large ears, a perfect opportunity to whisper into them just to add on to the rabbit’s situation.

“Awwww, look at you trying so hard to keep those giggles in,” You’d coo out impishly as you skittered your fingers around the rabbit’s hollows, the quick but gentle pace almost unrelenting as you teased, “What? Can’t the funny bunny handle a few tickles, you were soooooo certain of that earlier so why not find out?~”

The moment your hands hooked onto Jax’s underarms was the same moment you heard a squeak escape from his mouth. But it was the moment you began to skitter around his underarms where you saw, and heard, the walls start to come down around the rabbit. At first, the rascal was able to keep his composure from the initial skittering touch on his fur; but when you began to type around his hollows, he wasn’t able to hold the dam back any longer. The stutters Jax elicited before would begin to grow into steady giggles as he would squirm in the tangled binds around him, sometimes attempting  to arch away from the attacking hands for a few seconds before falling back into their relentlessly soft touch. His smile would also start to wobble and grow as the ticklish attack would begin to crumble his defenses, 

“Gyehehehehehmhmhmhmhph I-I cahahahahahan hahahandle ahaha-anythihihihihihing yahaha-ya throw at myehehehehehehehe!” Jax would declare before falling into a giggle fit as your fingers started to skitter directly on the rabbits hollows, making him squeak out and arch away from the playful hands, “Yohohoh-You ahahahahain’t gehehehetting ahahaha-anything ohohohohoutta-Ohohohohoho gahahahahahawd c-cuhuhuhuhuhut ihihihihihi-ehehehehe-it ohohohohohohout.”

As you heard the rabbit start to crumble under your playful touch, you began to notice something….awfully peculiar the rabbits reactions. Specifically, the moment you had peered down towards the rabbit's small tail as you continued to skitter along his underarms. As the tickling continued, you would start to see that Jax’s tail was…moving…albeit it was in small bouts but it was…wagging? Such a discovery would prompt you to look back at the smiling and giggling rascal and prompt another new realization about him. Could it be that the rabbit was…actually enjoying this?

Oh…Ohohoho now you just had to be certain if this little discovery was true. To think that the rabbit would actually enjoy this form of attention despite his outward protest and resistance. Such curiosity would lead you taking your playful attack another step further as you showed mercy to the rabbits underarms. You would hear Jax huff out a sigh of possible relief;  unaware that your mercy would only last a few seconds as you walked over and knelt down next to his raised left leg. Jax would turn his head to see where you were; the blush on his face now openly visible as a look of nervousness met your look of mischievous intent.

“H-Hey now,” Jax would stutter out as he squirmed his leg a bit out of instinctive anticipation, “Y-You back away frohohom there right now and get me outta he-GYEHAHAHAMP!”

The rabbit wouldn’t be able to finish his sentence as you quickly raised a hand towards his large paw; a paw utterly exposed with the help of the streamers that raised his leg…a perfect target. You had quickly directed your fingers to begin skittering right on the middle of the rabbits sole to test your hypothesis. You would skitter your five fingers along the soft but squishy surface; crawling along the defenseless spot like a spider trying to make a web. A web that was now squealing out in a newfound giggle fit, attempting to shake away the attacking spider that was your playful hand.

“Yohohoho-OHOHOHOHO JEHEHEH-EYAHAHAhahahaha-Jeheheheheheherk!” Jax would blurt as his giggles would turn into bouts of loud laughter for a few seconds at a time, his paw shaking and twitching in vain against your skittering fingers, “Geheheh-GEHEHEHEHET OHOHOHOFF’AHAHAHA TH-TheheheheheheHEHEHERE FAHAHAHAHA-#%@&!”

While you continued to skitter your fingers along the plushy sole of the squeaking rabbit; you’d take the time to look back over to his tail just to see if anything changed. Sure enough, the newfound tickling on Jax’s paw has sent a shockwave through his body, including that small adorable cotton ball behind him. The rabbit's tail was wagging almost a mile a minute, definitely much faster and prolonged than the original small bouts of movement that you saw beforehand. Regardless, that would give you more than enough proof to confirm your suspicions; which would only help in growing that impish smile on your face as you continued to skitter along the rabbit's paw.

“My My, I didn’t know that your tail could wag that quickly bunny boy~” You’d tease as your fingers began moving up from the rabbit’s sole and towards his toes, rapidly poking at each of the beans in rhythmic succession, “If I didn’t know any better…i'd say that you’re enjoying this~” You could practically see the moment that the rabbit's blush shifted to a deeper crimson when you teased out his secret enjoyment of the situation he was stuck in. It didn’t help that his laughter would become more bubbly and squeaky as his toes were now the victim of your ticklish scribbling. His paw would squirm from side to side in unavoidable vain while his head would twist and turn in flustered feedback from the ticklish onslaught. Jax would try to muster up a glare in response to your teasing proclamation; which had only lasted a few seconds before that wobbly smile returned on his face.

“MMMHMHMHMHMH-AHAHAHAHAHAHA IHIHIHIH-ITS NOHOHOHOHOHOHOT,” Jax shouted through his laughter while he continued to writhe in ticklish recoil, the blush on his face showing an almost comical amount of heated steam, “YOHOHO-YOU SEHEHEHEHEHEHE NOHOHOHOHOHAHAHAHAHAHATHIHIHIHIHING!” “Uhhhhh-huh, so you’re telling me that you would want me to continue tickling you then,” You’d respond as you with skitter your fingers on each of the rabbits toe pads in kind, “If you aren’t going to admit that i’m a better prankster than you should be able to take a whole lot more~” “SHUHUHUHUHUHU-EHEHEHEHEEK-SHUHUHUHUT UHUHUHUHUP, G-GEHEHEHEHET AHAHAHAWAY FR-ohohoho-FROHOHOM MIHIHIH-MY FOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOOT!”

“Nooooot really helping your case here bunny boy, though you are pretty adorable when you’re laughing like that~” “IHIHIHIHIHIHI SAHAHA-SAID SHUHUHUHUHUHUT UHUHUHUHUHUP!”

You’d give off a playful snicker while relenting from the skittering onslaught that you subjected to the rabbit's foot; standing back up as you moved your hand away from his leg. That brief moment of reprieve allows you to hear the rabbit take a few short huffs of breath, giggles still lingering from his wobbly and unchanging smile. Hearing the rabbit’s genuine pure laughter was something you never thought you needed to hear, but it was an experience that you had to admit was downright adorable. But you decided that it was time to finish off your revenge; and you were gonna finish it with a bang that you knew the rabbit wouldn’t be able to handle.

From where you stood up, you’d begin to slowly walk around the rabbit once more, all the while letting a single finger take a gentle trace on the rabbit's ribs. That little motion would earn you a squeak from the trapped rascal as you finally stood a few inches in front of him; his bright blushing face and nervous wobbly smile now in full view for you. An almost devilish smile would beam on your face as you raised both of your hands so that Jax could see them, shaping your fingers into claws before scrunching and grabbing at the air just to rile him up. The action alone would send a visible shiver down the rabbit's body, but what you’d say next would be the real kicker to his already unbearable fluster.

“Last Chance Bunny Boy,” You began as you continued to claw and grab at the air inches away from the rabbits defenseless body, “Admit that you failed at being this big bad master prankster…or else you’re really gonna start squealing~”

You could tell that the threat left a potent effect on the rabbit’s nervousness; but at the same time you had begun to notice that the rabbit…wasn’t…squirming so much? Curiosity couldn’t help but brim in your mind as you tilted your head, still keeping that clawing teasing motion in the rabbit's view to keep him riled up. As you teasingly threatened him…you would see that Jax wasn’t…really trying to escape anymore; so much so that you had to question to yourself if you had already worn out the rabbit to exhaustion. But as you looked closer at his reactions, you would see that his blush was just as prominent…if not more so…as it was before; and that he wasn’t…stopping his tail from wagging. His wobbly smile would look up to you in turn after your threat, the fluster on his face showing as clear as day; but that face would also share another reaction, one that would show challenge…or rather…enjoyment. 

But what would surprise you the most…would be the words you’d hear from the rabbits mouth, showing nothing but…enjoyable defiance.

“Not…A…Chance…Dollface~”

It had taken a few seconds for you to register exactly what the rabbit said before you settled on the truth that the rabbit…really did enjoy this. It may have been an unexpected turn of fate for the both of you, yes; but it also seemed to be one that, while he looked peeved by, Jax actually didn’t mind much. In honesty you’d think he rather liked egging you on to get as mischievous as he does…and it looks as though he just found another way to do it…and one that he genuinely found fun. 

Though…it wouldn’t take long for that surprise to slowly shift into a more wickedly playful grin. Well…if the rabbit was so defiant as to want to be wrecked more…who were you not to oblige and give him what he wanted. 

“Fine then,” You declared with a impish snicker towards the bunny, your claws primed to strike at their prey, “Just know…I gave you a chance~”

With that declaration, you wasted no time in diving your hands right at the rabbits upper body before he could even register where you were targeting. 

You directed your left hand back towards the rabbits left side, a spot you had already attacked before sure, but you were banking on a new method in order to wreck the rabbit. With fingers already shaped into claws, you’d begin to squish and squeeze along the rabbits open side with devilish speed. To make it worse for the rabbit, you made sure that the squeezes would never stick to one place at a time; as you would move your clawing hand up and down the rabbits side at different intervals, just to keep the rascal guessing as to where you were gonna squeeze next.

While your left hand would attack and tend to the rabbits side, you would direct your right hand towards a spot that hadn’t been given any attention as of yet…and that would be the rabbits overall-covered belly. Once your hand touched down on the rabbits belly, you would begin to rapidly poke and prod at the cloth-covered spot, not showing an ounce of reprieve or mercy. Your movements were practically unpredictable as you skittered and spidered up and down along Jax’s stomach, never keeping that hand still as it circled almost every part of the spot. And while his stomach was indeed covered up by a piece of clothing, you had a feeling that the cloth would help in making that merciless skittering ever worse against the rabbit's soft fur just as the squeezing at his side was…

…And you were right.

“GYEEEEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Y-YOHOHOHU LIHIHIHIHIHITTLE SHIHIHIHI-@%#$@%-IHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHAHAHAHA!!!!”

The reaction was instant the moment you heard the resounding squeal echo around the walls of your room. Almost a second after your hands touched down on the rabbits torso he was already squirming and wiggling as a means to dodge the attacking hands before they struck. But his escapes would be in vain as the skittering and squeezing sent him into a full blown laughing fit. Jax would shake frivolously under your merciless touch, finding no amount of mercy through your attack, bucking and arching with every ticklish touch on his torso. Each squeeze up and down the rabbit’s side would result in a short squeal that would both grow his laughter and blush an octave before it goes back to its steady yet manic rhythm. The Skittering along his belly would make Jax keep that stream of laughter going the saw no true end, as the cloth that would brush with the help of your devilish fingers would send shivers along his once defended stomach.

And the only thing that made it much more merciless…was when you began to tease him. “Kitchie Kitchie koo bunny boy, I warned you i’d get you squealing~” You began as you rapidly squeezed the middle of Jax’s side while skittering his belly, “You know, I might just wanna keep you like this for a while, if you aren’t gonna give it up might as well right? Besides…I know you like this~”

“EEYEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OHOHOHO F-FAHAHAH-@&@*&#%-GEHEHEHEHEHET OHOHOHOHOHOFF,” Jax squealed out as he bucked from the squeezing as small tears started to form on the corners of his eyes, “P-PLEHEHEHEHEHAHAHAHAHAHA PLEHEHEHEHEHEASE IHIHIHIHIHHIHIH-I EHEHEHEHEHEHEAHAHAHA CAHAHAHAHAHAHAHANT.”

“Begging Already? Awwwww I thought you were too proud for it~” You sang while moved both of your hands to claw feverishly along the rabbits belly, earning a little shriek from Jax as he arched and squirmed to see your teasing face, “Well you know what I wanna hear if you want this to end~”

“GYEHEHEEHEHEAHAHAHAHAHAHA Y-YOU LIHIHIHI-AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA PLEHEHEHEHEAHAHAHAHAHA I-IHIHIHI WOHOHOHOHONT—!!!”

“Sayyyyyyyy iiiiiiiiiit~” You would coo out as your hands began squeezing up and down the rabbits sides, its pace feverish and unpredictable, “coochie coochie coochie cooooooo~”

It would be that final tease and attack that would at long last break the camel's back. And despite his attempt to hold on as long as he could, the rabbit had no choice but to cut his losses.

“OHOHOHOHOH-OKAHAHAHAHAHAY OKAHAHAHAHAHAHAY,” Jax yelped out through echoing laughter and fluster, “THEHEHE-THE PRAHAHAHAHANK FAHAHAHAHAILED YOHOHOURE BEHEHEHEHETTER, YOHOHOHURE BEHEHEHEHETTER PLEHEHEHEHEHEHEAHAHAHAHAHA!!!”

At the sound of the words you wanted to hear, you’d give off a satisfied giggle of your own as you finally showed the trapped rabbit mercy. You’d move your hands away from the rabbits torso and take a few steps back as you looked at your handiwork once the wrecking subsided. Said handiwork resulted in a huffing and giggle-drunk rabbit that sat limp and exhausted in the tangle of streamers that kept him above the ground; a wobbly smile practically glued to his face, and a bright red blush to match it. All in all…not a bad job you did in getting your revenge; though there was still that part of you that wanted to make sure that you didn’t overdo it…just in case.

“You still alive there Jax?” You’d ask gently, empathy beginning to show through your impish expression as you looked towards the huffing and blushing rabbit.

A few seconds would pass without any response from the rabbit, which would begin to slightly worry you from the idea that you may have overdone it. However, those fears would soon be quelled when Jax would huff out a big sigh of air before flopping his head towards you. You’d be able to see that despite the exhausted and practically glowing blush on his face; that Jax wore a genuine, and rather satisfied, smile as he breathed out another giggle. “Yohohoho-you’re suhuhuch a jerk you know that?” The rabbit would respond with a rather smug tone despite the lingering giggle fit that elicited from his mouth.

You’d breathe an internal sigh of relief from hearing that signature smugness from the rabbit, absolutely relieved that you hadn’t gone too far with your own mischievous antics. That comment alone would also prove that…despite the ribbing that either of you pulled on each other…you still held a genuine connection of care, one that showed true when there were times those walls were able to come down. You would give an impish grunt and smirk towards Jax, crossing your arms in mock annoyance at the rabbits smugness. “Well it definitely doesn’t help that you’re around to influence it,” You responded before raising a brow to get one last rib on the rabbit, “Though it looks like you don’t really mind it now do you huh?~”

Jax would in turn squeak as his blush would give off a little glow of warmth, turning his head away in an attempt to hide the obvious truth of what you said. “We never speak of this to any of the others you hear me? Or else i’ll start planning my payback a little early~”

Hearing that little threat would make you blush a little, knowing well that the rabbit was always true to his word when it comes to pranking. However…despite it you couldn’t help but feel a bit…comfortable about it. You had never expected that a little slip up would turn into a discovery about the rabbit that proved to be rather enjoyable for the both of you. And while you two may still share in that impishness towards each other, you’d come to see that…through it…there can be a true friendship that can be born from it. Perhaps it was these very moments that made you realize that being in this digital plane…wouldn’t be as bad as you thought it was. “I make no promises on if they heard anything or not…but,” You’d give a gentle smile to the rabbit as you uncrossed your arms and a nod of agreement, “I won’t say a word bunny boy~” The rabbit would give a little sigh of relief as he looked back up to you, giving a small smile of his own…knowing that his secret was safe with you. “Good…now…with all that said and done–” Jax would motion to the streamers that he was tangled in, that smug smile returning after the fun that ensued from a bit of strung up luck.
