Oh my, that's a lot of tickly hands to deal with. How could he possibly defend Earth from demons now that they know his secret?? ( ￣▽￣) Womp womp.

“Will you stop fidgeting so much? It’s starting to annoy me!” Yukio snapped, but Rin still seemed distracted…flat out ignoring Yukio. Yukio had decided he’d had enough and dug his fingers into his brother’s sides from behind. Rin let out a bark of laughter, trying to squirm away, but to no avail. “Y-YUHUHUKIOHOHO! STOHOHOHOP IHIHIT! IHIHIT TIHIHICKLES!” Yukio sported an angry smile, “Will you stop fidgeting if I stop?” Rin didn’t answer, only able to get out goofy sounding laughs and snorts.

“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.

“Rin”, he tries it a little nicer, “don't be like that! I'm sure you look great, now come out!”

“No one looks good in that shit!” Ouch. Rude.

“Well, I”, the red head responds and puts extra attention into the I, “rocked it the last two years. Sure, you can't be as stunning as me, but no one can and you have at least some female attributes that match the outfit!”

“Go fuck yourself, Mikoshiba!”

Seijuro inhales sharply and by the sudden silence he can tell that Rin already realized his terrible mistake. He steps closer to the door and gives it a gentle knock, then he says in the most sweet voice he can manage: “I for sure am going to fuck someone up and that someone will be you if you don't get out here and apologize to me within the next three seconds, understood? One. Two.”

The door opens and Seijuro holds back a triumphant grin, giving Rin a scolding look instead. “Well well well, look who we have here.”

He examines the second year's appearance. “I don't see any problem with that, now say Sorry and come with me, we'll be late for the opening!”

Rin makes a little bow and mutters a quick Sorry Senpai, but Seijuro accepts it nevertheless – it would take ages to wait for that brat to give him an appropriate apology and they really don't have much time left! However, when he attempts to finally leave the changing room, Rin stays right where he is, grasping onto his skirt and trying to pull it down desperately. Seijuro sighs. Great, now he has to solve a self esteem crisis on top of it all.

“Goddamn kid, I told you it's okay! You'll be the hottest maid out there, don't worry!”

Abort mission, entirely wrong thing so say! Rin blushes to infinity, his hands tensing up and scaring Seijuro he might rip the dress in half. Okay, start all over.

“It's not like you're the only one! Almost everyone else wears one and even those who don't know what it's like! I wore that dress too and think positive: it's only for today and next year you'll get one of these fancy suits!”

“Not everyone”, Rin presses out through gritted teeth. Ah, so that's the snag.

“Come on, you out of all people care about what some random stranger thinks?”

“I care about what some random other students and teachers think!”

“But you never do! At least not about what I think, you just do what you want!”

Rin just mutters something unintelligible, probably about stupid captains and fucking assholes and Seijuro is this close to smack him in the face, honestly! With three quick steps he approaches his kouhai and pokes the rock hard muscles hiding where normal people have some sort of tummy fat with every word he says.

“You – look – absolutely – gorgeous – now – don't – be – a – pussy!”

Rin grabs his wrists, frantically pushing his hands away and fighting the smile spreading across his face. “S-stop that, Mikoshiba!”

Seijuro throws him a wicked grin and frees his hands, then pushes Rin further back so he's now trapped between his captain and the wall. “Why? A little ticklish, Matsuoka?”

Rin stares up at him furiously. “I'm not fucking ticklish, you're just invading my personal space!” He straightens his back to appear taller. “Stop invading my personal space!”, he barks into his senpai's face and tries to stare him down – normally, the mad expression makes everyone falter.

Apparently, Seijuro Mikoshiba is the exception and even before the captain regains his grin, Rin knows that he is about to find that out the hard way.

“So cocky, Matsuoka. You know what? To get you to do something embarrassing, I'll just blackmail you with something that's even more embarrassing!”

“What the hell do you mean with blackma-ah stop!” A hand sneaked past his defense and now squeezes his side, drawing a giggle out of him.

“Aw, was that a giggle? You're damn cute, ya know that, brat?” Rin's blush intensifies, but he doesn't have the time to think about Seijuro Mikoshiba calling him cute because suddenly his arms are stretched out above his head and both of his wrists are in an iron-like grip.

“Wa-wait!”, he shrieks, bursting into bubbly laughter when the captain uses his free hand to scribble all over his abs and sides. “Fucking let gohoNO FUCK!”

Seijuro chuckles, his quiet amusement drowned out by the hysterical cackles him tickling Rin's ribs draws out of the younger one. “Careful, you'll wrinkle your dress.”

“FUCK YOU!”

“Language, Matsuoka.”

The silk fabrics of Rin's dress do nothing to protect him from Seijuro's dancing fingers that glide over his ribs and thoroughly tickle the spaces in between, making Rin squeak among his ugly cackles. Well, ugly for him because Seijuro seems to enjoy the sound, judging by his enthusiasm and wide smile.

“Look, that's better, isn't it? You're not so tensed anymore.” Seijuro says that like it's something good to be tickled to death in a cramped cubicle and even though he can't really talk right now, it's obvious that Rin does absolutely not agree on this one. “Ya know, I really didn't want to do this, but you left me no choice!”

The tickling slows down a little and Rin gasps for air. “Like... like hell I did...”

Seijuro shrugs. “You didn't listen to me and this always works on my brother to make him listen. Also you were totally pouting over there.”

“Were nAHAT, fuckingbullshityoudickheadstopit, MIKOSHIBA!”

“You swear a lot, huh? Am I getting somewhere?”

Seijuro curiously flutters his fingers over his kouhai's exposed armpit, earning a shriek and a desperate attempt to squirm away, but with the captain tightly holding his arms stretched out and his body pressed against the wall, Rin isn't going anywhere. Tears of laughter prick out of his squeezed eyes and his flushed cheeks almost match his hair.

Seijuro has to admit to himself that he really enjoys this. He knew before that Rin is exceptionally beautiful, but having him here right in front of him in a maid dress, feeling him squirm underneath him and getting to enjoy his helpless laugh combined with this slightly pleading undertone... that's something else, far better than pretty and aesthetically pleasing. That's hot. Seijuro grins as Rin opens his teary, shimmering eyes and their gazes lock. Really hot.

“So, you're gonna go out there and make them lose their minds over how stunning you are? Or would you rather have another round of this here?”

Rin tries to answer but he can barely talk through his wild laughter, nevertheless he stares right into Seijuro's eyes and provocatively shakes his head.

Seijuro grins widely. “Oi, brat, I'm starting to get the impression you like getting wrecked like this! But okay, I don't mind.”

Suddenly, without a warning, his hands dart down to Rin's hips and the younger one's arms immediately clasp to his sides but that doesn't save him either and Seijuro has to stabilize him to make sure the boy doesn't just topple over.

“Jackpot~”, he singsongs. It was a lucky guess – a good guess. If Rin wasn't hysterical before, he now definitely is.

“O-OKAY SHIT I GIHIVE! FUHUCK STOP, PLEASE!”

It's the Please that makes Seijuro finally let go off Rin. He'd never say that word unless it would get really serious. Seijuro catches the younger one when he collapses onto the floor and helps him sit down. “You okay? Sorry, that got a bit out of hand...”

“I'm fine”, Rin interrupts him and huffs, then looks to the ground and rubs his neck. “It's fine, I mean, uh... yeah. No bad blood. But next time I want a safe word!”

“Next time?” Seijuro's heart makes a little hop and Rin blushes even more.

“Uh... maybe, if you want to... in a little more comfortable place?”

Seijuro can't help but chuckle. “Are you trying to ask me out on a tickling session? I'll have to take money for that, y'know? But you'd get 50% off because I like you.”

“Actually I thought more of something like... a date.” Rin clears his throat and smirks to cover up his embarrassment. “We can talk about stuff like that later.”

“A... a date?” Now it's Seijuro's turn to be startled but he quickly gets it together again. “Yeah, sure! I'd love to!”

Rin smiles widely but the smile falters when Seijuro adds: “But only if you come with me now. We already missed the opening and we still have to work in the cafe!”

The younger one bites his lip then nods and gets up on shaky legs. “Did you... mean that? That I'm gorgeous and cute and whatnot?”

Seijuro stands up as well and gently grabs Rin by his shoulders. “I did. Matsuoka, I don't know if you realize it but you're really beautiful and I love that dress on you! I'm telling you, you were born to blow their minds with this outfit! So?” He smirks and takes his kouhai's hand, pressing a shy kiss to his forehead. “You pretty?”
