Mr. Hand rested his hands against Gold ingots sides, looking at the ingot with his common wide grin. It was off putting. Gold ingot didn't meet his eyes, looking down while holding a tight grip on Mr. Hands wrists, as if he didn't trust him.
Mr. Hand hummed, rubbing his thumb against Gold ingot side. It gave Gold ingot unpleasant goosebumps.
He wasn't used to Mr. Hands touch after everything, yet still agreed to do this.
It's not like Mr. Hand pressured him. He simply offered it as some sort of stress relief. Gold ingot answered "yea, sure," in some fuzzy haze. He hasn't felt the best, recently. He still couldn't forget about his other two lost co-hosts. He was pretty sure the rest of the contestants are starting to dislike him, too. He had the idea Mr. Hand could tell that he wasn't in the best state, as well.
Even though Gold ingot wasn't looking at Mr. Hands face, he could see his smile falter slightly in the corner of his eye.
"Why so hesitant?" Mr. Hand asked, now petting his side. His voice was weirdly soft. "Hhn," Gold ingot just let out a grunt sound, shifting to look away even more.
"We do not... have to do this, you know?" Mr. Hands tone changed now; he seemed slightly more irritated by Gold ingots lack of a clear reply, but kept speaking gently to him.
"N-No, it's fine." Gold ingot huffed turning back to Mr. Hand and finally making eye contact. Mr. Hands expression was much softer. Gold ingot tried not to focus on that much. "We can do it, its just.. I- I don't know, come on, just- start however you want." Gold ingot said, removing his hands from Mr. Hands wrists and instead gripping his shoulders and shoving himself further into Mr. Hands arms.
They froze for a moment. Gold ingot felt Mr. Hands breathing pause, while his only got quicker.
Eventually, Mr. Hand wrapped his arms around Gold ingot and pulled him into more of a hug, lightly rubbing his back. "Not if you aren't up to it," Mr. Hand murmured. Gold ingot stayed frozen, before dropping his weight against Mr. Hand fully and sighing into his "chest." "Sorry," He mumbled. Mr. Hand didn't reply. He just sat silently and focused on how Gold ingots breathing slowed until he seemed much more calm.
After a few long moments, Mr. Hand began shifting, putting his hands on Gold ingots sides again. Gold ingot flinched. Soon, he felt Mr. Hand lift him by under his arms, sitting him against the pillow. "Woah, hey- what are you doing?-" Gold ingot asked, his voice wobbly.
Mr. Hand let go of him once he was leaned up by the pillow, looking at him with wide eyes. He wasn't smiling at all, now. His mouth was just an emotionless line while he seemed to study Gold ingot with his large eyes.
Gold ingot stayed still, breathing harder. "..Mr. Hand?.." He whispered.
Suddenly, Mr. Hand lifted his hand and lightly traced a finger against Gold ingots side
It gave a bit of a tickly sensation, Gold ingot subconsciously noted. Gold ingot twitched, eyeing his hand. "Wh- What are you doing?" Gold ingot blinked.
Mr. Hand just continued, his lips twitching into a small smile.
He shaped his hand to be more claw-like after a moments, gently twitching his fingertips into Gold ingots side. That got a bigger reaction than the tracing, resulting in Gold ingot quickly gripping his wrist with both hands. "Mr. Hand- don't do that." He said, his voice going shakier. A hum noise came from Mr. Hand. "Do what?" He replied playfully. "What you're doing now!" Gold ingot said more sternly- failing slightly. The wobbliness of his voice making him sound less serious.
"Ohh. This?"
Mr. Hand used his other hand to do the same to his other side, earning a shocked squeak from the ingot. He gripped both Mr. Hands wrists weakly. "Stop that!-"
"Why?" Mr. Hand replied quickly, and a little sarcastically.
"What do you mean "why!?"" Gold ingot huffed. He tried to keep his expression irritated-looking, but he couldn't prevent the small smile fighting its way onto his face. "I mean why." The larger replied blankly, shifting Gold ingot. Has he always been able to move him around like this? "Because it tickles-" Gold ingot got quieted as Mr. Hand turned him around, and began lightly tracing a finger around his back. Gold ingot immediately felt himself melt into it. It was oddly soothing. He would have let Mr. Hand continue- if it didn't tickle as much as it did.
"No!-" He blurted out, immediately trying to turn around and stop the other by instinct. Mr. Hand didn't prevent the action, he just continued tracing Gold ingots stomach once he was facing him. The ore almost immediately faltered and fell into quiet giggles despite his attempts not to.
"Why are you doing this!?" Gold ingot asked dramatically through his small snickers, keeping a tight grip on Mr. Hands wrist again. Mr. Hand took a mental note on the fact Gold ingot wasn't attempting to push him away. "I offered you stress relief. If I can't give it to you the way I planned, this is the next best option." Mr. Hand answered. His pointer finger twitched downward slightly.
"Thihis- is NOT gonna help me!" Gold ingot squeaked out. He almost seemed to be trying to curl up into a ball to protect his stomach. He was failing.
"What makes you say that?" The paw tilted his "head," using his other hand to gently pinch Gold ingots side. It earned a kick from the shorter. "Hohow would tickling help anyohone!?" Gold ingot let go of Mr. Hands arms, instead covering his red face to save himself from even more embarrassment.
"Tickling helps release endorphins!" Mr. Hand exclaimed quickly in reply. Gold ingot shook his head. "Snrrk- Whahat?"
"As well as dopamine." He smiled, looking a little proud of himself "Oh, and oxytocin." He added after a moment.
"Whyhy are you- hohow-"
"I'm a scientist, Goldie."
"Neherd!"
"Oh, thats just rude."
Mr. Hand stopped for a moment, allowing Gold ingot to catch his breath after he let out all the leftover giggles.
"You alright?" Mr. Hand asked. Gold ingot shut his eyes, resting against the pillow again. "Yea.." Gold ingot murmured.
Almost immediately after answering, Mr. Hand gently dug his fingers against his ribs. Gold ingot flinched, squeaking before falling into louder laughter. It only lasted a second or two before Mr. Hand stopped, letting him drop against the pillow again. Gold ingot immediately snuggled against it, breathing deeply.
Mr. Hand snickered. "Am I still a nerd?" He asked snarkily. Nonetheless, he moved towards the ingot and rubbed his back, trying to help him catch his breath.
"Yehea." Gold ingot mumbled, giggling after at his own words. Mr. Hand playfully rolled his eyes. "Whatever.."
It was a few silent minutes before either of them spoke again.
"You feel any better?" Mr. Hand tapped Gold ingots head. Gold ingot looked up at Mr. Hand, blinking. He gave a small smile to him. "Yyea..." Gold ingot stuffed his face back against the pillow. "..Thanks." He murmured.
Mr. Hand grinned and hummed in acknowledgment.
