#ler!rin

Rin's apartment was quiet that night. The open window let in a warm summer breeze, bringing the distant scent of chlorine from the pool across the street.

Sousuke sat on the couch, his shirt half-open, a cooler bag forgotten beside him, his shoulders tense as ever. His post-surgery recovery was going well, slowly but steadily, and Rin had been following every step, sometimes more closely than Sousuke cared to admit.

Rin emerged from the kitchen with two bottles of water and tossed one to his friend, or rather, boyfriend, though they still stumbled a bit over the words. "You're tense again" He commented, his eyes fixed on his operated shoulder as he sat down beside him. "I bet you didn't do your stretches today"

Sousuke took the bottle, opened it, and took a sip without answering. "I'm fine" He said finally, without much conviction. "You don't have to worry all the time, Rin"

"I don't worry all the time!" Rin retorted, resting his elbows on his knees, leaning forward slightly. "I just think I can help. I can massage it to relieve the tension. It'll help with circulation, right? The physical therapist said that the other day"

Sousuke arched an eyebrow and let out a dry laugh. "You listening to the physical therapist's advice? That's new"

Rin grimaced and punched him lightly in the thigh. "Shut up and turn around"

Sousuke hesitated for a moment, his eyes darting to the side, but finally sighed and complied, pulling his shirt off his shoulders and turning back onto the couch. He leaned forward, resting his forearms on his knees, while Rin positioned himself behind him.

With steady hands, Rin began to gently press the muscles around Sousuke's injured shoulder, avoiding the surgical site. He used his thumbs carefully, feeling the tension building beneath Sousuke's warm, still slightly stiff skin. "You're stiff as a rock, man" He murmured, focused. "You should let me do that more often"

Sousuke didn't respond immediately. His breathing was a little heavier, and the muscles beneath Rin's fingers twitched slightly with each deeper touch.

Rin lessened the pressure, sliding his fingers down to the base of his neck. That's when he noticed something curious. Sousuke gave a slight start, imperceptible to those unfamiliar with him, but he noticed. And most interestingly, he immediately held his breath, as if trying to avoid or disguise any reaction.

"Hm?" Rin narrowed his eyes, repeating the movement with his fingers, this time on purpose. "What was that?"

"Nothing" Sousuke replied, too quickly.

Rin stopped the massage for a moment, leaning in slightly to look sideways at him, the corner of his mouth lifting in a treacherous smile. "Wait a minute, Sousuke... You tensed up in a different way just now, that's not pain..." He tested another touch, very lightly, with his fingertips on his neck and the base of his neck, making Sousuke stiffen again. "That's ticklish"

"Rin..." His voice was low and hard, almost threatening, but the tone was more embarrassed than intimidating.

"I can't believe it..." Rin let out a low, almost incredulous laugh. "You, the guy who faces shoulder pain without complaint, who doesn't even wince with a needle, are sensitive to a touch here?"

Sousuke turned his face slightly, not looking at Rin, his ears starting to turn red. "It's not sensitive, it was just... unexpected" He murmured defensively.

"Oh, sure. Totally unexpected that you turned as red as a bell pepper" Rin gave him a light, teasing touch behind his ear, just to confirm the theory.

Sousuke shrugged and let out a muffled sound, half laughter, half frustration. "Rin, if you keep going, I swear..."

"Swear what? Are you going to threaten me with laughter?" Rin backed away, still smiling. "But I'll stop. I just wanted to confirm a scientific theory"

Sousuke turned back to him slightly, giving him a sharp look. "Scientific, huh?"

"Of course, field research" Rin rested his chin on his crossed arms on the back of the sofa, staring at him with an amused glint in his eyes. "And I discovered that even you have your weaknesses"

Sousuke rolled his eyes, but couldn't hide the small smile that crept into the corner of his mouth. "Just because you're helping me with my shoulder, I'll let this one slide"

Rin leaned in and gave him a quick kiss on the lips, smiling sincerely now. "Oh, okay... So, next time you refuse to rest, I have a secret weapon" He said, a victorious smile on his lips, his face still leaning against the back of the sofa.

Sousuke, despite his usual menacing air, let out a resigned sigh, one that, coming from him, meant something close to "you win for today." "You're insufferable" He murmured, the corner of his mouth still curling up in a rare genuine smile.

Rin straightened, settling behind him. His eyes still held that curious gleam of someone who hasn't finished the experiment. He placed a firm hand on Sousuke's good shoulder, the other slowly sliding down the side of his neck. "Just one more thing, for the sake of science"

Sousuke frowned, but didn't have time to react. Rin let his fingers run from his collarbone to the center of his chest, where they glided lightly, almost as if measuring the terrain.

Sousuke just pressed his lips together firmly. But Rin didn't give up, his fingers traced his chest, stopping at his ribs, and there came the reaction.

Sousuke gave a slight jolt, his back stiffening immediately, as if a shock had run down his spine. A muffled noise escaped his throat, it wasn't exactly a laugh, but a frustrated attempt to stifle one. "Ahh-hahaha! Stop it!"

Rin smiled triumphantly. "I knew it!"

"Rin..." His voice deepened, firmer, but still failed to sound convincing. "J-Just stohohohohohop"

"You can say it's just unexpected," He said, his fingers playing along his ribs and the side of his stomach. "But your body gives you away completely"

Sousuke tried to grab his wrist with both hands, but Rin had already pulled back, just enough to escape, moving nimbly and taking advantage of every hesitation. A hesitation that left his other side free, and in an unexpected movement, Rin's fingers found and plunged into his armpit. "AHAHAHAHAHAHA! NO!"

"Ahh, look, that was a laugh" Rin smiled, moving the fingers of both hands up to there, amused by the way Sousuke flinched and tried to grab them.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHA! PLEASE! ENOUGHAHAHAHAHA!" Sousuke spoke, louder now, finally looking at him with a look of genuine warning, but even that was tinged with embarrassment, both in his expression and in the red on his cheeks.

"Ohh, who knew I'd hear you begging for a little tickling..." Rin scoffed, backing away.

"I just didn't expect you to be so childish" He gasped, trying to regain his composure.

Rin let out a light laugh, leaning back on the couch. "Not childish at all, this is high-level strategy. If you think I'm going to let that kind of information slip by, you're wrong. You'd better sleep with your eyes open"

Sousuke rubbed his face with a hand, as if trying to hide the stubborn blush that still lingered there. "You're a disaster"

"A disaster who knows your weak spot now"

There was a silence, the kind where the laughter has faded, but the heat still lingers in the air. Rin approached again, this time without tricks or provocations. He placed one hand on Sousuke's good shoulder and the other rested lightly on his thigh. His eyes were calm, but still amused. "You know I'm only doing this because you never let me take care of yourself" He said, his tone softer. "You always handle everything on your own, but now you can, I don't know, relax with me"

Sousuke finally turned fully, looking at Rin with a more sincere look. There was gratitude there, hidden beneath the layers of pride and reserve. "I know, I'm just not used to it"

"Then get used to it. Because if it's not a massage, it'll be a tickle" He moved his fingers in the air, as if about to attack him again.

Sousuke took a deep breath and pulled Rin by the collar of his shirt, pressing their foreheads together for a brief, intense second. "Do that again and see what happens"

Oh look at that, two unsuspecting players laying calmly on their beds. Those were Bachira’s thoughts as he peaked his head through the doorframe, observing a sleepy Isagi and Rin-chan cuddling each other. The scene was very adorable, if only it could last longer, but Bachira had other plans. 

Currently, Aryu and Tokimitsu weren’t in the room. Giving Bachira the perfect opportunity to launch his surprise attack. He carefully tiptoed across the room, his footsteps as quiet as… well, everything else here was very loud usually. The brunnette perched his head to looks at the sleeping boys, a warm smile on his face, before being overtaken by his monstrous desires. 

“…Surprise!” Bachira jumped on top of the two of them, earning startled yelps and curses. Taking advantage of their sleepy state, Bachira managed to pin them down with ease.

“Bachira… I was sleeping…!” Isagi whined out, while Rin could only let out incoherent grumbles of annoyance.

“I know, I know! But trust me, I had good reason to wake you both up” with that, Bachira’s hands latched onto each torso. One hand massaging Isagi’s side, while the other vibrated against Rin’s toned stomach. 

“Wahahait! Bachirahaha..!” Isagi instantly let out a snort of laughter, trying and failing to kick his legs out. His face instantly turning flushed at the sudden attack.

“Mph…!” Rin on the other hand, being as stubborn as he was, tried muffling his sounds with his pillow. Which only caused Bachira to tickle up his ribcage until reaching his armpit. “PFFT! BACHIRA STOAHAHAP!!” the pillow flew out of his hands, revealing Rin’s giddy expression and rosy cheeks.

“Aww! You’re so cute, Rin-chan!” Bachira gave him a teasing scratch under his chin, causing the grennette to turtle up. “And you too, Isagi-kun~” he leaned over, placing a teasing kiss on Isagi’s belly.

“EEP!” Ahahaha… Bachiraaa, plehehease…!” 

The brunnette looked down, deciding to have some mercy on the tired boys. “Oh fine, is this better?~” he had now switched to gentle scratches up and down each of their arms, occassionally reaching up to their neck. It was very endearing watching the way they both purred and giggled quietly. 

“Ehehe yeah… but, why now all of a sudden?” Isagi quirked up a brow. 

“Yeah, usually you don’t attack this late” 

It was true, Bachira wasn’t one to feel to energized at night, much less disturb his loved ones. But tonight, something in him told him to do it. He wasn’t sure how to explain it. It was more than just tickling them for fun, Bachira wanted to show them love, and this was the best way he knew how to. By making them laugh. But how was he supposed to explain all that in mere words?

“Well, uhh…” the brunnette’s voice trailed off as his eyes darted all over the room, trying to find anythint to avert their attention. But before that, he was suddenly pulled down by two pairs of strong arms. Having successfully been squished between the two boys, his back against Rin’s chest and his fron against Isagi’s.

“Since you won’t talk, how about a taste of your own medicine?” Rin whispered against his ear. Even though his voice was usually monotone, there was a slight hint of playfulness behind it that Bachira couldn’t miss. The tease made his cheeks instantly flare up.

“Oh? Is our cute tickle monster flustered at the thought of being tickled?~” Isagi was now overtaken by his confident persona, much to Bachira’s dismay.

Before the brunnette could get a peep out, Rin started working his way around his neck, while Isagi was gently spidering all over his tummy and sides.

“Eep! Ehehehehe! Guhuhuys..!” he squeaked and giggled like a happy child. There wasn’t much room for him to squirm, which made this feel all the more flustering. Bachira did the poor choice of looking up at Isagi’s face. He felt his face turn a deeper crimson at the loving gaze the other was sending. And even though he couldn’t see Rin-chan’s face, the way he was holding him so closely was all that Bachira needed to know that they too loved him back. 

"Rin-Rin!" Bachira called, and that was the only warning Rin had before his boyfriend was barreling towards him, running and jumping onto his back.

"Get off," he hissed, prying at the hands that clung to him like a koala bear.

Slipping off of him, Bachira reattached himself at his side with a wide smile, "Hey."

With a pained sigh, he peered around the hallway to be sure they were alone. They were open about their relationship, but he preferred for them not to be so affectionate in public, not that there was ever much privacy in Blue Lock. 

"What do you want?"

"Let's go on a date!"

That brought the faintest flush to Rin's face as he nodded. "Fine. Where?"

"Come to my room tonight. I got it all to ourselves."

"Alright. I'll see you then," he brushed back Bachira's hair and kissed his forehead. "I have to get back to training."

Bachira wrapped his arms around Rin's neck, pulling him in for a quick kiss, then skipped away with a wave. "Bye Rin-Rin!"

He only just rounded the corner when Isagi's teasing voice rang out, "You two are cute."

"Huh? How long have you been here?"

"Well," Isagi rubbed the back of his neck, laughing awkwardly. "I was coming by, but I didn't want to interrupt you guys, so…"

"That's okay. Thanks for letting us have the room."

"Of course, what are you guys doing anyway?"

"Hmm…" Bachira shrugged. There wasn't really anything romantic to do in Blue Lock if they didn't pay for a day out. "I don't know. Watch a movie, maybe?"

"Oh, Rin likes horror movies doesn't he?"

"He does?" He had never mentioned that to Bachira before.

"I think so. He got excited when we were talking about the new Earthworm Man movie."

"Thanks Isagi, but I have to go get everything ready now!"

—

Rin couldn't help the small smile that graced his face when he entered the room.

Bachira, bright-eyed and messy haired, peeked out from beneath his makeshift blanket fort, waving animatedly. 

"What's all this?" 

"The perfect setting for our date!" He grinned, reaching into his pocket to pull out a cellphone. "I even bought this!"

"Why do we need that?"

"To watch a movie. I found an American one I think you'll like."

Walking closer, Rin squinted at the screen, smile widening at his choice. "That sounds good."

It was awkward, getting onto his knees and shuffling into Bachira's fort, but it was worth it when he was greeted by a loving embrace and sweet kiss. 

Bachira's hands wrapped around his waist, pressing his body against Rin's, who ran his hands through Bachira's hair, pulling at the strands that were soft and lovely and smelled like vanilla. 

Bachira's lips were pillowy against his own, and Rin found himself sinking deeper and deeper, breathing the same breath, skin moulding into each other as his hands cupped his cheeks, so soft and warm that Rin felt the heat pooling into his palms.

Breathless, Bachira finally pulled back, tired and smiling, laughter on his tongue. "Wanna watch?"

"Yeah," he was fully smiling now, "Yeah. I guess we should."

They cuddled up together, Rin laid against Bachira's chest, haphazardly balancing the phone on his stomach as the movie began. 

It wasn't… that bad. At least, it was better than Bachira thought it would be.

He never watched any horror movies, not since the ones he saw as a child that gave him nightmares. But that was years ago. He thought he'd outgrown those childish fears, and, just in case, he'd even picked a movie that sounded more funny than scary. After all, who would be scared of a haunted VHS tape?

Bachira. Bachira was scared.

But he was doing a fairly good job at hiding how every second of this film made his skin crawl and how badly he was waiting for a, hopefully peaceful, end. Except for flinching at the occasional jumpscare, he'd smile whenever Rin glanced up at him and nod along to his commentary—Rin-Rin always took everything so seriously. 

Eventually, it seemed he couldn't stop his nerves from getting the best of him.

"Bachira," Rin spoke up, voice uncharacteristically soft as he looked up at him with those big, beautiful, concerned eyes. "Are you alright?"

Just as he was about to open his mouth and say something to reassure his boyfriend, he realized that he was shaking.

Oh. That wasn't good.

"Bachira," Rin repeated, sitting up and twisting to face Bachira as the forgotten phone fell to the floor, discarded. Gently, he reached out and squeezed Bachira's hand, a heavy frown etched into his face.

"I… I'm okay. Just got a little spooked."

"Are you sure?"

Bachira could still hear the movie playing, not that he could understand it without the Japanese subtitles. "The movie, you should—"

"We don't have to watch anymore."

"Didn't you like it?"

"Yes, but you clearly didn't," Rin's frown deepened, and he pulled Bachira into a tight embrace, holding him until his racing heartbeat settled.

"Sorry," Bachira mumbled, face pressed against Rin's chest. "I ruined our date."

"No you didn't," he looked almost offended as he shook his head, pressing a kiss to Bachira's forehead. "I'm content as long as I'm with you."

"Wow, even you can be sappy, Rin-Rin."

"Shut up," he lightly scolded without any of the usual bite to his words. "Now are you feeling better?"

"Mhm. Thanks," he tilted his head upwards, pecking his cheek.

"I hope you aren't still feeling bad about this."

"I'm not," he lied.

Rin sighed, pinching his cheek and lightly pulling it until Bachira whined.

"Listen, you are very thoughtful. It was very nice of you to do this. I was having a great time, and I still am. Understand?"

Bachira smiled faintly. "You know… I really, really like you, Rin-Rin."

He smiled back. "I like you too, but…" his smile turned mischievous as his fingers curled around Bachira's sides, lightly squeezing, "I like your laugh more."

"Do yohohou?" He asked, giggling softly.

"Yeah. And I think I'd really like to hear it some more."

It wasn't unusual for them. Ever since Bachira decided to randomly start poking his sides during practice, tickling had become relatively commonplace. He knew that Bachira was prone to tickling all of his other friends, but Rin once again preferred for it to be something private, something intimate to be enjoyed by them.

There was an odd satisfaction that accompanied getting Bachira to squeal when Rin tickled him just so or in seeing how quickly he could get him to beg for mercy, but now wasn't one of those times.

Now, he only wanted to see Bachira smile, carefree as usual.

Still hugging him, Rin tilted his head to nuzzle into his neck, bringing up a hand to skitter his nails across the base of his neck. Immediately, it produced a series of quiet, breathy giggles that warmed his heart.

"Is this okay?" He asked, because while they were prone to these playful interactions, he'd never tried using it to cheer up Bachira. Hopefully it'd work, especially considering how much he seemed to love it.

"Yehehes!" 

Rin smiled. His boyfriend really was adorable. 

"Okay, I hope you don't regret that."

Despite his words, his touches remained gentle, light prodding and squeezing that kept Bachira giggling and smiling without ever wanting to stop, intermingled with sweet, soft kisses that Bachira really didn't want to stop.

"I love you," he murmured after they has finished, Bachira a tired, loved, giggly pile of goo in his lap.

"Love you tohohoo," he answered, grinning and pecking his lips again.

“That’s probably because he hasn’t come by in a while. He’s been occupying most of his time in the WxS Sekai.” Meiko told them, as Len made a sound of understanding.

“That’s right! I don’t even think we’ve been there yet!” Rin’s eyes widened and she slapped her hands on the table as she stood up. The table shook and Len scrambled to pick up their drinks so they wouldn’t spill.

“Careful, you idiot! You almost knocked our drinks over!” Len shouted in a panic.

“Let’s visit Kaito!” Rin exclaimed, pointedly ignoring her twin brother and his sigh of annoyance.

After a moment, he spoke up too, his annoyance forgotten as he processed what she said. “Wait, yeah! Let’s visit him!”

Meiko chuckled, putting a hand up to her mouth fondly. “Don’t bother him too much, you too.” She walked away, leaving them to their drinks. Now, they tried to finish them as quickly as possible, bouncing on their seats with excitement.

“I bet I can finish this faster than you!” Len laughed, suddenly competitive. In response, Rin shook her head and took a large slurp of her lemonade.

Within minutes, they were both finished. Len had won, to Rin’s disdain. She shrugged, in attempt to play it off. They brought their drinks to the counter for Meiko to take away.

“Bye Meiko!” Rin called for the cafe owner, rushing out the door after she took their beverages.

“Thank you for the drinks!” Len said shortly after, following after her. They didn’t have any time to hear Meiko’s response.

••••

“Where’s Kaito?” Len asked upon entering the Sekai. He looked around, only seeing stuffed animals. No sign of Kaito, or even Miku around anywhere.

“We just got here, dimwit. Of course he’s not just gonna be at the entrance.” Rin rolled her eyes. Len just shoved her and walked ahead pretending he didn’t hear her indignant gasp.

“Kaito!” Len called, cupping his hands so his voice would echo. After a moment, Rin joined in too. But even after shouted for what seemed like hours (it was only five minutes), where Kaito was was still unknown.

“Are we even sure Kaito is here..?” Rin sighed, slightly disheartened.

“I’m sure he is! We just gotta look a little longer!” Len reassured her, a determined smile planted on his face. Just then, they heard a small voice shout from behind the large stage. Was that Miku?

Len wasn’t sure why the two of them suddenly became quiet. But Len put his fingers up to his lips to signal to his twin sister to stay silent. She nodded, as they both creeped up to peek from behind to corner of the stage.

“Mommy! Mom!” Miku giggled, excitedly as she ran up to.. Kaito! They found him! Then they took a moment to comprehend what just happened before they gasped in sync.

“Did Miku call..” Rin started.

“She did.” Len interrupt, as they looked at each other with wide eyes. Then Len smirked, and Rin immediately knew what he was thinking.

“Miku, you don’t need to keep calling me that…” Kaito chuckled, embarrassed as the stuffed animals began to chant ‘Mommy’ over and over again. He cleared his throat. “Anyway.. Tsukasa and the others are supposed to visit us this afternoon. Why don’t you get ready?”

Miku nodded in affirmation before running off. Time for the Kagamine Twins to make their move! Kaito sighed, wiping his brow from what was probably sweat.

“Mommy, huh?” Len asked out loud, popping up behind Kaito’s shoulder. The man in question jumped, startled.

“Oh! Len! It’s been a while! And about that…” Kaito stammered, looking at the virtual singer.

“That’s so sweet!” Rin cooed from the other shoulder. While Kaito hadn’t been as startled this time, he flinched slightly.

“Oh, hi Rin..! What are you two doing here?” Kaito turned to them, a soft but pleasant smile on his face.

“We just wanted to visit you! We missed you!” Rin threw her arms in the air happily. Kaito just laughed before he opening his mouth to speak. He never got to, though, because Len interrupted him.

“But we didn’t expect for Miku and the others to be calling you ‘Mommy’! Why is that?” Len laughed, as Kaito sighed. He seemed calm, but the twins could sense he was a little flustered.

“It’s just what they’ve been calling me, since I apparently act like a mom.” Kaito explained, as they listened.

“Oh! That makes sense! I always thought of you as ‘Big Brother Kaito’ but ‘Mommy’ totally works too!” Rin touched her finger to her chin. Kaito laughed at that.

“We’ll call you that too!” Len announced, as Rin agreed. Kaito shook his head, a nervous expression taking over his face.

“Now you don’t need to do all that..”

“Of course we do! You’re so caring and nice and helpful… just like a mom!” Rin said, as she pounced on him with a giant hug.

“Mommy Kaito always knows how to make people happy!” Len laughed at the slight redness on Kaito’s face before jumping on him too. “We missed you!”

“I missed you both too, but you really don’t need to call me that..! I’ll come by more oft-EN?!” The twins paused. What was that? Rin looked at Len and he shrugged.

“Kaito?” Rin was slightly concerned. Had they hurt him? She looked at what she was doing and Len did the same. That’s when Len gasped. When Rin sent him a questioning look, he directed his eyes to his fingers where they were squeezing Kaito’s side. A mischievous look fell onto Rin’s face.

“Are you ticklish?” Rin asked, though both her and her brother knew the answer. They continued to hold Kaito in a bear hug, despite him squirming slightly on reflex. Kaito stilled.

“I’m not! I have to help Miku prepare the stage. Would you like to join?” Kaito coughed to hide a giggle, when Rin ran a finger down his side curiously.

“No, I think we would rather do this instead!” Len shouted, before he started to knead at Kaito’s side. Rin did the same, scribbling at Kaito’s neck and back.

Kaito, unable to help himself, burst into soft giggles that caused a bright smile to appear on the twins faces.

“You’re ticklish!” Rin gasped excitedly, poking at the top of his back as Kaito squirmed. Len laughed, using one hand to scribble at Kaito’s tummy and the other to squeeze his sides.

“Stahahap ihihit!” Kaito laughed, trying to push them off before he tripped. He almost fell to the ground but the twins carefully made sure that he wouldn’t hurt himself, instead guiding him to the ground slowly. Still, they didn’t stop tickling him.

“So ticklish~ You might be even more ticklish that Rin!”

“Hey!” Rin scoffed, almost putting a halt to her tickling, distracted. Unfortunately for Kaito, she remembered what she was doing quickly.

“It’s true, isn’t it?” Len rolled his eyes, jokingly.

“W-well yeah! But-“

“Come on, less talking, more tickling!” Len said, as Rin grumbled, used to her brothers antics. Kaito seemed panicky in laughter, his eyes squeezed shut.

“W-wahahaha guhuyuyus!” Kaito flailed his arms to no avail. He was truly stuck.

“Let’s try new places!” Rin chirped. Len made a noise of agreement as they switched spots, trying to look for the best places to get the virtual singer.

“Nohoho youhuhu really dohont hahahave to!” Kaito screeched, a nervous tone in his voice.

“Of course we do! You should laugh!” Len insisted, before turning to look at Rin. “You lift his arms and I’ll tickle him.”

“But I wanna tickle him!” Rin pouted, but she did it anyway, using her knees to hold him down. She was sure that Kaito was stronger than her, so he could escape if she just used her hands. Len stopped as she did so, giving Len a little bit of a break to catch his breath.

When Rin was ready, Len immediately went for Kaito’s underarms. That got a reaction.

“N-nAHAha! P-pleheheASE!” Kaito arched his back, trying to force the two off of him on reflex.

“Please what? Please keep going? Okay!” Len beamed, scribbling at the sensitive spot. He could tell Kaito had a little protection from the clothing, but he was still ticklish so it didn’t matter to him.

“All you had to do was ask!” Rin added, a hint of teasing in her voice.

“T-thahahat’s nahahat what I meheANT!” Just then, Rin had taken her hand away from his arm, to skitter her fingers along his sides as Len continued tickling his underarms.

“Oh? Seems we misunderstood then..” Len sighed, rejectly before perking up again. “You’ve got a nice smile, you know! We need to see it more!”

“Agreed!” Rin hummed, as the twins smiled at each other.

“T-TheHEHERE’S OHOHOTHER WAHAHAYS TO MAHAKE ME SMI-“ Kaito could barely finish his sentences from all the laughter that was forced out of him. He wasn’t sure how long it had been but he was starting to feel tired.

“Mommy Kaito is so sweet!” Rin chanted.

“Are we tickling Mommy?!” A voice picked up from behind the three of them. Rin had stopped tickling Kaito in surprise. Len hadn’t, while it significantly lessened, leaving Kaito giggling softly compared to the boisterous laughter he emitted seconds earlier.

“Miku!” Rin called, as the blue haired singer ran over to them in excitement. Len looked back at the virtual singer, who seemed exhausted.

“Not anymore. It looks like he had enough.” He retracted his hands from Kaito’s underarms, nudging Rin with his elbow, so she did the same.

“Hehe~ Mom is super ticklish~” Miku giggled and the twins couldn’t help but agree, as Kaito just stared at them, his face slightly flushed.

“Yeah, you got me good, didn’t you two?” He sighed, relenting because he could tell the twins were happy to get to tickle him.

“We definitely did!” Len exclaimed, as he high fived Rin. After a moment, they all burst out in laughter. When they finally gathered their wits, Rin was the first to speak up.

“I think I like ‘Big Brother Kaito’ better.” Len hummed, feeling as if it had a better ring to it.

“You’re still on that? Well, you know what I would like better?” Kaito asked, and both the twins made a sound which made it obvious they wanted to know. “The sound of the laughter of the Kagamine Twins instead of the laughter of Big Brother Kaito!”

He pounced on them, as they gasped in surprise.

“W-wahahahait!” Len shrieked.

“WhAGAHAt?!” Rin squealed, twisting her body back and forth. Kaito sent a look to Miku who watched in excitement and amusement. Miku understanding, jumped on Rin while Kaito got Len.
