Dream really didn't know why he was still editing, Sapnap and George bickering behind him was way too distracting. He was distracted every two seconds.

"George please! Leave Sap alone so I can work." Dream pleaded, pinching the bridge of his nose. George scrunched his face up, turning back to Sapnap, insulting his upset face, saying he 'looks stupid like that'.

"God! You're so mean! Dream! Why do we keep him around?! He's so evil!" Dream finally accepts that he won't get any work done with them in his office with him. He turned to face them, looking exasperated.

"Sure he's a little mean sometimes but George is actually really sweet too Sapnap. That's why we keep him around." Sapnap glared at him for, once again, pandering to George. Refusing to look at George’s undoubtedly smug face.

"Yeah Snapmap~ I'm sweet~! Like candy~" George shimmied his shoulders, leaning towards him, smirking proudly. Sapnap growled in retaliation lunging at him, pinning him by the shoulders. Dream jumped up straight, afraid he might hit him again, this time sober. George looked at him shocked, not used to him being able to physically retaliate yet.

"Sap...?"

"As much as I want to I'm not gonna beat up your boyfriend Dream. I'm just testing his theory~" Dream flushed a soft pink at his comment before making a small sound of confusion.

"He said he's sweet like candy, I wanna test that~ You wanna help~?" Dream took a second to catch on, noticing how George was still confused.

"Of course~ sounds like something you should test out~" Dream jumped up to sit above George’s head, looking down at his upside confusion.

"I'm so confused, what? Are you gonna lick me? Wait no, please don't, you might actually do that." George screamed out in protest when Dream pulled his wrists up, still under the impression Sapnap was gonna lick his face for revenge and Dream was enabling it.

"Will you relax! I'm not gonna fuckin lick you!" Sapnap yelled over him from his place on his thighs, both of them laughing at the thought of it. Sapnap yanked his shirt up, swiftly exposing his ribs, waiting for the realization to wash over his face.

"D-Dream you're not seriously gonna let him do this are you?"

"I honestly think you deserve this considering you also stopped me from being able to edit. This all could have been avoided if you learned when to shut the fuck up." Dream explained slowly, moving to hold his elbows into the bed. George seemed bewildered at the fact that Dream wasn't helping him, jumping at the feeling of Sapnap’s beard scratching the skin of his ribcage.

"Hold still candy boy~" Sapnap purred, turning his Nike cap backwards, grabbing onto his sides to keep him in place.

"NO! GET OFF ME! I DON'T DESERVE THIS!" George screamed out, trying to wriggle himself out of their hold, being entirely unsuccessful.

"Oh bullshit! You've been such a bitch all day, you are well overdue for this actually~" Sapnap refused to wait anymore, not caring about building anticipation. He sunk his teeth his ribs, nibbling at the bones, relishing in the immediate screams.

"Mmmmm... you taste pretty sour to me George~" Sapnap mumbled, snickering at Dream’s giggles. He VERY slowly worked his way up his ribs, feeling George’s rapid breathing, frantic kicking and attempted bucking.

"STOHOHOHOP! YOHOHOU TEHEHEHESTED YOHOHOUR THEHEHEORY! LEHEHET MEHEHEHE GOHOHOHO!" George was sweating, his biceps were getting sore from trying to pull his arms free, his face dark red, tears starting to fall from his eyes.

"Mmmmno, you deserve this you dick. I'll be as mean as I like and don't you do anything in his favor Dream, I can get you in this same position in under 5 seconds~" Sapnap flicked his eyes up to the blonde when he saw his grip falter. Dream stared in disbelief, not expecting to be catching stray teases. He tightened his grip back up, not risking it, unknowingly giving George a small break. Sapnap smoothed his hand over the bright red skin on his ribs, scoffing at his flinch before moving to repeat his journey on the other side, jolting the brit back to life.

"SAHAHAP PLEHEHEASE!" George couldn’t think anymore, all he could feel and think was the sensation on his ribs. Tears streaming down his face, he couldn't move, which in his opinion, made it so much worse.

"OHOHOHOHOKAY! I'M SOHOHOHORRY! PLEHEHEHEHEASE!" Sapnap finally stops, rubbing his ribs firmly after wiping his tears for him.

"Learn from this George, I can retaliate now." Both Sapnap and Dream helped massage the sore muscles in his biceps, letting him breathe.

"God... my face hurts... and I'm so tired now. You have to cuddle me now, that's the rules. We're even now you hold me while I take a nap." Sapnap rolled his eyes at the demand, but complied, wrapping him up entirely like a weighted blanket. Dream smiled at them fondly, giving them a small head pat before going back to his video, figuring he can finally get some work done while they nap.

yes yes yes yes yes yes

because Karl makes Sapnap so so sooooo soft, he feels so safe and comfy with karl, he knows karl would never do anything he doesn't want and trusts karl with his life

so when karl comes to him with this pout and the biggest puppy dog eyes sap has ever seen (yes, even bigger than dreams), and says "sap...darling...do you think I could maybe tickle you a bit? it would make me really happy, and it's my birthday, so..." HOW is he supposed to say no to that?

of course he agrees, and he doesn't hesitate at all when karl tells sap to follow him onto the couch. he does, however, hesitate when karl simply says "ankles up" and taps his own thighs, because...no no no, they're too sensitive, they're too much, karl just can't!!!!

...but he does anyway, because he loves the shit out of karl and he's a sucker for praise. so sap just struggles to keep his squirming at a minimum with his feet in karl's lap, laughing himself silly as karl traces lil circles around his ankle bones with his bright colored nails, telling him how amazing he is, and how this is the best present he could've ever asked for 🥺

do they tickle fight often - oh my GOD yes!!! of course!!!

they are absolutely inseparable, pretty much attached at the hip, and they can never ever keep their hands off each other to save their own lives. that combined with their playful bickering and how much they love making the other laugh?? they absolutely absoLUTELY tickle fight often. it’s practically a daily occurrence for dream to hear screaming from one of them and then walk past and see the other on top of them, digging his evil little fingers into the other boy’s ribs or sides or tummy or wherever he can reach just to get the best reaction

who usually wins - i think it’s pretty 50/50 honestly??? they both pounce on each other like kittens and attack wherever they can/want, and i feel like they’re both pretty determined to win until they’re rendered completely helpless by the other. plus they’re both equally wild and untamed when they need to be

i think it depends on who’s able to get the upper hand and then keep it– like who’s able to get the other pinned the best way to render them useless, or who’s able to get to a spot on the other that does the same thing

however, i do think they both have sure fire ways to take them down, which they both know perfectly well.

for george: getting his wrists pinned really does a lot to get him down for the count. he does a lot with his hands during tickles in general, but especially while playfighting, always pushing and hitting and jabbing and poking, and when sap gets his wrists pinned down secure enough? he loses a lot of his fight and coordination focusing on trying to get them free instead of fighting back, it’s all he can think to do. he does kick a lot, but they’re weaker bc he’s less coordinated :))) poor thing

also stuff that gets him down pretty quickly, grabbing at his thighs/knees, grabbing at his ribs, and grabbing at his hips. any spot that makes him panic like that when it’s grabbed so suddenly helps, because it kinda makes his brain short circuit and all he can do is squeal and shoot his hands down there, and it’s pretty easy for sap to get him all pliant and pinned after that.

for sapnap: getting him pinned on his tummy makes it WAY harder for him to recover and win the fight. similar to george with his wrists, getting pinned face down like that makes it way harder for sap to get his coordination back, and he’s usually too focused on trying to turn back around to escape properly. he tried his hardest to twist around, to kick, to flip his hips over, to reach behind him aimlessly to grab at george and yank him down, and sometimes it works!!! really it does!!! but most times all it takes is george digging in once and that takes him out fully

as for spots, grabbing at his hips and calves/ankles always makes him panic a bit and lose composure, as does shoving into his underarms, even if george doesn’t do anything yet <3

(also, most of the time george turns him back over anyway after he’s fully incapacitated. sometimes he gets right into it, but he likes to see sapnap’s face while he wrecks him, partially bc he’s adorable and partially to tease the life out of him <333)

george gets all mad and growls and yells when sapnap wins, but eventually devolves into giggles bc he loves the silly fighting so much that it just makes him really happy. sapnap gets growly too, but he gets more embarrassed when george wins, because no matter HOW many times he and george have tickle fights, he’s still convinced he’ll win every time because he’s “soooo much stronger than george so it’ll be so easy to destroy him”, which george teases him about each time he wins

is it different from how they are with dream - i think so!! i think it’s a little different tbh

i think with dream they can both be either really soft or really rough, but i think there’s less of an actual fight when dream is involved. don’t get me wrong, tickle fight DEFINITELY still happen with dream, just less often, and they usually happen more when dream is the lee in that situation, seeing as he’s so much bigger and stronger and more tactical with it. obviously there’s more nuance to it than that, but this is already so damn long of a response, so i think that is generally true whether it’s dreamnap, dnf, or all three of them, ler!dream or lee!dream alike
