#lee!puffer

Groans erupt from Pezzy, Droid, and Grizzy as Puffer passes the finish line in first place for what felt like the hundredth time that night. “HA! Suck it! I win again.” He smirks as he brags about yet another victory, to the annoyance of everyone else.

They'd been playing Mario Kart for the past few hours and had only gotten a few wins over Puffer, and his ego was starting to get on their nerves. When Puffer leaves to get a drink, they start their plotting. “He's too cocky, Grizzy do something.” Pezzy complains. “Yeah man, you're the one who lives with him.” Droid agrees. “Fine, fine, just give me a second to think.” Grizzy says, leaning back in his chair with a sigh.

A moment later, Grizzy gets an idea. A week prior, he had brushed against Puffers side by accident. Puffer had practically jumped a mile in the air and, despite his attempt to cover it up with a cough, had squeaked a bit. Puffer was ticklish, and that was Grizzys ticket to curbing his ego. He smirks slightly as he relays his plan to Pezzy and Droid, and they grin and wait for Puffer to get back.

Eventually, Puffer returns from the kitchen with a drink. Smirking, he asks, “are you guys ready to lose again?” Pezzy and Droid make a show of groaning and complaining at him, working on keeping him distracted while Grizzy sneaks off towards his room. They hold back laughter as they watch the door to Puffers room slowly creep open, Grizzys head popping around the door as Puffer is none the wiser.

Before Puffer can react, Grizzy slinks forward and wraps his arms around him, trapping him in his chair. “Grizzy?! What the hell!” Puffer shouts, wiggling in an attempt to escape. “You've been too damn cocky Puffer, we're tired of your ego.” Grizzy says, Droid and Pezzy nodding in agreement. “Wait, you two are in on this?!” Puffer yelps, fruitless attempts to escape ceasing momentarily so he can stare in disbelief at his two friends on screen.

The two in question smirk triumphantly, proud to have gotten one over on Puffer for once. “Yup, me and Droid distracted you while Grizzy was sneaking into your room.” Pezzy says with pride. Puffer glares at him and Droid. “I'll get back at all three of you for this shit, I swear.” They share a nervous look at his words.

“I'm sure you will, but for now you're stuck here.” Grizzy says, starting to tap his fingers against Puffers sides. Puffer squirms slightly at the sensation, a wobbly grin growing on his face as he realizes what's about to happen. He attempts to push Grizzy away since his arms are free, but Grizzys hold on him is too strong. “Oooh is that a smile, Puffer? What's funny?” Pezzy taunts with a snicker, making Puffers face go red in embarrassment. “Shuhut the fuck uhuhup!” Puffer shouts, a few giggles making their way out.

“Yeah, what's so funny? I don't remember anyone making any jokes, do you Pezzy?” Droid tilted his head in mock curiosity as Pezzy shook his head with a shit eating grin on his face. “Yohohou asshohohles!” Puffer whined. “Well that's rude.” Grizzy says, unable to hide the amusement lacing his voice. “Could have just asked me to start.”

Puffers blush worsens, covering his face with his hands. “Awww is poor Puffer embarrassed?”. Pezzy coos teasingly, cackling when Puffer shakes his head from behind his hands. “Okay okay, enough teasing. I want my revenge.” Grizzy says with a smirk, hands going from tapping against his sides to tracing up and down, making Puffers giggles kick up a notch.

Puffer's blush steadily grows to the tips of his ears as Grizzy scratches at his sides, and it gives him an idea. Grizzy blows lightly at the back of Puffers left ear, snickering at the squeak it draws forth from Puffer. His hands drift up from Puffer's sides to his ribs, making him wiggle in a valiant attempt at escape. He doesn't succeed.

“Look at him wiggle, he looks like a worm!” Pezzy cackles, making Droid burst into laughter. “He does!” Droid says through giggles. Their words only succeed in making Puffer wiggle and blush harder with an embarrassed whine, which only makes them laugh harder at his misfortune.

Grizzy frowns at his wildly wriggling friend, it was a lot harder to hold someone in place when they won't stay still. Grizzy smirks as he gets a truly evil idea. Puffer's going to kill him but it will be so worth it. He grabs both of Puffer's hands and pulls them up into one hand, making puffer yelp in surprise. He looks up at Grizzy, gulping at the mischievous look on his face.

“Alright Puffer, if you manage to keep your hands up for 5 minutes while you're tickled, then I'll let you go. If you don't, I get to tickle you for 10 minutes. Deal?” Grizzy says, making Droid and Pezzys eyes go wide with sympathy. They'd been on the receiving end of that particular game of Grizzys before, and so far neither of them have won. Puffer stands no chance.

Puffers eyes narrow at the challenge. He knows logically that it's a trap and that there's no way he can win, but his ego is too strong to make him choose any other option. “Do your worst.” He says, confidently smirking up at Grizzy, whose own eyes narrow at his attitude. Pezzy and Droid look at each other nervously. They know that Puffers fucked himself over, but does he know that?

Puffer sits up straight when Grizzy leys his hands go, crossing them behind the head of his chair, gripping the back to keep his hands in place and squeezing his eyes shut. He cant see it but he knows Grizzy is smirking down at him. It sends a shiver of anticipation down his spine, but he stays confident and collected and doesn't show his nerves too obviously. By this point he'd forgotten almost entirely about the presence of Droid and Pezzy, his focus taken up by the challenge and the flustering nature of what was about to happen.

He's so deep in his thoughts that he jumps slightly when Grizzys fingers graze his underarms, swallowing nervously. It's bold of Grizzy to go for one of his worst spots this early, but it makes sense when his goal is to tire Puffer out and make him drop his arms. He tightens his grip on the back of the chair, now it's a battle of willpower. The question is, who wins?

Grizzy starts off with lightly scratching at his underarms, making Puffer bite his lip to hold back giggles. He can't hold back the wobbly grin as easily. Pezzys voice makes his eyes snap open and towards the still active discord call. “Awww Grizzy, he's smiling so wide! Man if only you could see it from where you are.” Pezzy says with an exaggerated sigh with Droid joining him in his laughter.

Puffers eyes narrow and, despite how badly he knew it would backfire on him, he sticks his tongue out at his two friends. He's truly a beacon of maturity. Pezzy and Droid gasp in surprise. “PUFFER! That's so rude, Grizzy do something!” Pezzy shouts as Droid nods with a mock angry look, making Grizzy look up with a confused look from where he's still tickling Puffer. “What did he do?” He says in confusion.

“He stuck his tongue out at me and Pezzy!” Droid complains with a pout. Grizzy hums to himself as Puffer starts stammering out excuses, considering his options. He had been planning on keeping the game going until Puffers arms dropped, but clearly his ego is still very intact. This changes things. Looks like they'll have to shelve the game for next time.

While Grizzy was thinking, he subconsciously loosened his grip on Puffer. Seeing his chance to run, he wiggles out of Grizzys hold and sprints out of the room. Grizzy freezes in shock for a moment, processing what just happened as he hears Pezzy and Droid shout for him to chase after Puffer in the background. Blinking, he stands up and bolts after his friend, aware of the head start he has on him.

Grizzy doesn't see Puffer out in the hallway, but knowing him he probably hid somewhere nearby in the hopes that he wouldn't be found. Unfortunately for him he's a very predictable hider, and Grizzy has a hunch on where he hid. Grizzy peeks his his head into his room, silently making his way to the closet.

Even if Puffer wasn't predictable, the quiet giggles from the closet would have given him away almost immediately. He puts his hand on the doorknob, preparing to pounce if Puffer tries to make a run for it. He quickly twists the knob and yanks open the door, catching Puffer in his arms when he tries to bolt.

Grizzy easily wrestles Puffer down, tasering him in the side to get him to drop to the ground. He pins him in place with his knees pinning Puffers hands, sat on his thighs, cracking his knuckles to drive up the anticipation. It works judging by the bright blush on Puffers face as he watches him. He sighs, tapping his fingers against Puffers hips ominously, a promise of what's to come.

“So, anything to say for yourself?” Grizzy says with a raised eyebrow. Puffer wiggles experimentally, internally swearing when he realizes he doesn't have a single chance to escape. He gives Grizzy a smug smile though. “Nah, I don't take back anything.” He says, knowing that he's only digging his grave further. Grizzys eyebrow raises further, and he shrugs. “Suit yourself, don't say I didn't warn you.” He replies.

Rather than go for Puffers hips immediately, Grizzys hands jump upwards to his underarms, then to his ribs, then to his sides, then his hips. He proceeds to repeat this, switching it up periodically to keep him guessing. Puffer yelps and breaks out into cackles with no chance of holding back his laughter. He's unable to kick his legs or cover his blushing face, all he can do is laugh. Or he could tap out and give Grizzy what he wants. He's still too proud for that.

Grizzys hands move from their, frankly evil, position tormenting Puffer, to his worst spot, his stomach. He lightly spiders his fingers over his tummy, making Puffer laughter go lighter and more giggly. Puffer closes his eyes in embarrassment, blush traveling to his ears at the flusteringly light tickles. “Aww can poor Puffer not take the tickle tickle tickles?” Grizzy coos teasingly at him, making him whine and shake his head.

“Stahahahap teasihihing me you bihihitch!” Puffer giggles out, half heartedly trying to wiggle out from under his friend. Grizzys eyes narrow playfully, and Puffers own eyes go wide as he realizes the mistake he made. “Wahahait waihahait, I dihihidn't mean ihihit!” Puffer says through his giggles. Grizzy shakes his head, “No, no, I see how it is Puffer, we're name calling now.”

Puffer giggles in anticipation, face scrunched up from how widely he's smiling. The hands on his stomach, which had paused while Grizzy was talking, slide under his shirt to scribble at bare skin. Puffer bursts out into loud cackles, tears forming at the corners of his eyes.

Grizzy continues tickling Puffers stomach for a moment, before slowing down to periodic tapping to keep him on his toes. Puffers laughter dies down into quiet giggles, face damp from the laughter induced tears. Grizzy looks at him with a stern stare. “So, you gonna apologize for your ego? Or do you need a round two? Because I wouldn’t be opposed.” He asks with a mischievous smile.

Puffer giggles, shaking his head. “Ihihih’ll apohohologize!” He yelps when Grizzys hands scratch slightly harder at his stomach. Grizzy smiles fondly at him, sliding off from where he had him pinned and helping him up. He leads him back to Puffers room, grabbing a water bottle on the way. Before they enter the room, Grizzy takes a moment to turn Puffer around and gently wipe the tear streaks off his face, lightly shoving him away when Puffer rolls his eyes, making Puffer chuckle.

Puffer flops down in his chair when they enter the room, breathing out a sigh of exhaustion. “That took that much out of you? What else did you two do?” Pezzys voice makes Puffer sit up quickly, having forgotten that Pezzy and Droid had been in call. He huffs a quiet laugh at the suggestive faces they're making. Leave it to them to make things freaky.

Grizzy rolls his eyes, setting the water bottle in front of Puffer on the desk, smiling in return when he gives him a grateful smile. “Get your head out of the gutter, we didn't do anything. Anyway, Puffer you have an apology to give.” Grizzy says, unable to hold back the fond smile as he shakes his head, leaning against the back of Puffers chair.

Puffer groans in mock annoyance, leaning back in his chair and staring up at Grizzy with a pout, who in turn raises an expectant eyebrow at him. Puffer sits up, meeting the equally as expectant faces of his other two friends. “Sorry for being egotistical.” He mutters with an eye roll, kicking at the ground with a foot.

“Nah don't be, it was funny.” Pezzy says. “Yeah it was.” Droid says with a chuckle. Puffers head snaps up. “What.” He says, staring in disbelief at the two. “Yeahhh this was in the plans for a while, we just used that game of Mario Kart as an excuse.” Grizzy says, a slightly embarrassed smile on his face. “I will be getting you back.” Puffer tells him with a glare. He turns around at the snickering coming from his computer. “That goes for you two also.” He says with a raised eyebrow, delighting in the nervous looks from all three of them.
