Archie was bored.

And when Archie gets bored, he gets mischievous.

He just saw his husband resting in their chair, probably reading a book. But the more that Archie watched, the more mischievous he got. He could hear his husband humming, so he knew that he was distracted.

"Mmmm~ mmm mmm~"

*smirk*

Archie slowly crept up closer to the chair. He started singing the Jaws theme.

"Duh dun..."

The peaceful humming came to a halt, and was replaced with a squeak. He saw Maxie sink down into the chair.

"Duh dun..."

"Archie, I can see you. I swear to god.. if you even think of trying anything, I will kill you." He grumbled.

That just made him even more mischievous. He smiled a wide grin, then kept singing with a faster tempo.

"Duh dun duh dun duh dun duh dun duh dun-"

"NO!"

It was too late for Maxie to run away, so he just waited in anticipation for whatever Archie had in store for him. He sunk down the farthest he could into the small chair.

Then it became silent.

Maxie hesitated, but he turned around to see if Archie was still sneaking up on him, but he didn't see him.

Turns out, he was right on other side of the chair.

Maxie let out a sigh of relief, but all that went out the window when Archie jumped up from behind the chair, playfully growled, and grabbed his waist from behind.

"WHAT THE HELL-! A-ARCHIE!!"

They both hit the floor, Archie had his husband pinned down on the floor, grinning ever so big.

"Y-you gave me a heart attack-!" Maxie yelped. "What is the matter with you?"

Archie grinned at him and pecked a kiss on his cheek. "So I scared ye, huh?"

"YES!" He yelped. "Now can you please let me stand up, so I can kill you?"

"Awww.." Archie pinned him closer to the floor. "Not gonna happen, darling."

Maxie covered his face in frustration and tried to wiggle himself out of Archie's grip, but no such luck was found. He got nervous when Archie grinned at him wider.

"Archie.... Wh-What are you going to do?"

A hearty laugh came from the larger man. "Looks like you've been caught by a shark, babe.."

"Oh, haha." He rolled his eyes while still trying to escape. "Very funny. Just because you have teeth like a shark, doesn't mean you are one."

"You're my prey, Max.. and do ye know what sharks do with their prey?"

Maxie got even more nervous, seeing the devious look in Archie's face. Whatever he was about to do, Maxie was not going to be ready for it.

"THEY EAT THEM UP! GRRR!!" He growled, lifting his shirt up and burying his face into his stomach, giving him many nibbles and kisses.

Maxie collapsed into giggly laughter right away, of course Archie would do something this childish.

"W-Wait! A-Archihihihihihihihie!!!" He giggled, trying to cover his wobbly grinning mouth. "St-stop!! Hahahaha- I-I'm ticklish!!!"

"Oh no~" He cooed, pausing his "shark attack" "It seems that my dinner is a little sensitive.. don't worry, Max... this won't hurt a bit! But it's gonna tickle like hell!" He said before he went right back to what he was doing. His scratchy beard, along with the nibbles and kisses, were definitely NOT helping Maxie keep himself from exploding.

"Ahahaharchie stahahahahahop!!!" He squealed, twisting and turning in both directions. "Hahahahaha!! Nohohohohoho!!! Thahahahahahat tihihihihihihihickles!!!"

*growl*

Archie blew a raspberry on his belly. "PFFFFFFFFFT-"

"OH GAHAHAHAHAHAHAD!!!!" The redhead shrieked, giggling even more. "AHAHARCHIE I'M GOING TOHOOHOHOHO KILL YOU!!! AHAHAHA- GEHEHEHET AWAHAHAY!!"

"Sorry, babe.. yer the one that got caught. And now yer getting attacked by a killer shark! No mercy from the fiercest predator of the sea! Grr!" He guffaws as he nibbles at his sides and brushes his beard up against him.

"NOHOHOHOHOHO!!! AHAHAHAHAHA-! PLEHEHEHEASE STAHAHAHAHOP!!!" He shrieked, trying to smack him away.

"Wiggly prey makes it so difficult to eat~" Archie purred, using his hands to spider up his sides while his beard continued to tickle his stomach.

"YOHOHOHOHOHOU AHAHAHARE SOHOHOHO DEHEHEHEAD WHEHEHEHEN I GEHEHEHET UHUHUPAHAHAHAHA!!!"

"Awww, m' so scared... yer in no position to make threats, me adorable, ticklish prey..."

"HAHAHA- *snort* AHAHAHAHAHA!!! I'M- I'M GOING TOHOOHOO MUHUHURDER YOU!!!"

The pirate started nuzzling his belly with his beard, enjoying every squeal, laugh, and giggle come out of Maxie's mouth.

"It's not nice to make threats, me love." He kissed literally all over him, loving every second of his husband's beautiful smile and laugh. "Yer such a grump butt, so it's only natural fer me to do this! *inhale* PFFFFFFFFFT-"

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA- NO!! AAAAAAAH!!! STAHAHAHAHP!! IHIHIHIT FEHEHEHEELS SO WEHEHEHEIRD!" Finally, he gave up trying to escape, he let himself fall back in defeat, and continued his giggle fit. "AHAHAHARCHIE I GIHIHIHIHIVE UHUHUHUP!! PLEASE STAHAP YOU'RE KIHIHILLING MEEHEHEE!"

Archie put his shirt back down, but he went over to his husband's neck and nuzzled into it, giving it tickly kisses.

"C'mon~ I know ye love me kissies!"

"Hahahahahahaha- Ahahahaaheeheheehee!! ARCHIE!!! Plehehehehehehease!" Tears of mirth flew from his eyes. Then he started to hiccup. *HIC* Stahahahop! *HIC* I'm behehehegging you!"

Archie, satisfied, sat up and released Maxie's arms, he gasped for air and rolled over to his side, trying to stop his residue giggles.

"Have I ever told ye how cute ye are?" He winked, laughing when Maxie glared at him.

Maxie grabbed his shirt and pulled him closer. "Have I ever told you how dead you're going to be when I get up?" He snapped back, still trying to stop giggling.

He chuckled at him. "Bwahahahaha! Well, I didn't finish all me meal, looks like I'm having leftovers later~" He said, snickering.

"You are impossible!" Maxie told him, rising up from the floor. "Why in the world would you torture me like that?" He kept his arms wrapped around his sides for protection.

Archie gave him a kiss, a passionate one. Maxie at first tried to struggle away, but he gave in and kissed him back.

"Because, Max.. I love ye and I also love hearing yer adorable laugh~" He put an arm around him, chuckling when the redhead hid his face in his shirt. "Come on... yer not really mad at me.."

"Mmph..." He crossed his arms, huffing and turning himself around, back facing Archie. He saw his glasses on the floor and put them back on, since they fell off during the scuffle.

*smirk*

"Well fine then, ye stubborn little shit.." He gently spidered his fingers up his sides, making Maxie squeak, jump and fall backwards into Archie's arms. "Ye can't stay mad at me, babe. Ye love me too much."

Maxie looked up at him and lifted his head to kiss the bottom of Archie's jaw. Flustered, the other man giggled at the kiss and held him.

"I do love you, you big goof." Maxie said, but then brought his finger up to his neck. "But if you ever... EVER.. speak a word about this to anyone else, I will bury you in the backyard...."

"Bwahahahahaha! What's the matter, Max? Ye can't be embarrassed, can ye? Yer giggling was probably the cutest thing I've ever heard in me entire- Li-FAHAHAHA! Hehehehehehey!!!"

Maxie scribbled his fingers at Archie's neck.

"What was that?"

Archie chuckled nervously. "B-babe... no."

>:)

:|

"I'll give you 5 seconds to run~" Maxie purred, getting closer to Archie with his fingers wiggling. "Five.."

"OH SHIT- NO! NO NO NO NO NO NO-"

Archie fucking RAN. He knew he was in trouble.

"Four three two one!!!" He counted faster and bolted after him at full speed. "Get back here!" The redhead chuckled evilly. "You're not getting away from the great Maxie! I will have my revenge, damn it!"

Archie took off upstairs and looked desperately for a place to hide.

"Oh shit oh shit oh shit-" He was actually panicking, he ran into the closet and shut the door, not even thinking that Maxie would hear it shut.

Maxie reached their bedroom and looked around for him. "Oh, Archieeeee~" He sang, complete playfulness in his voice.

"Hehe, I'm in danger..." He whispered to himself, knowing good and well how Maxie knew all of his tickle spots. "I am so fucked.."

He opened the closet door. "Gotcha!"

"Ah, SHIT!" Archie lunged forward to get away from his husband, but Maxie grabbed him from behind and pinned him to the floor, back facing up. "Max, baby... c-c'mon-! Y-ye know that I was just teasin'!"

*smirk* "Time for my revenge~" He wrapped his arms around Archie's waist and attacked the man's sides with his fingers.

"BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" He roared in laughter, trying to buck Maxie off of him. "W-WAHAIT!! M-MAHAHAHAHAXIE!! AHAHAHA!!!! *wheeze* ST-STAHAHAHAHAP!!"

"Not going to happen, darling." He chuckled, mocking Archie for what he said earlier. "Hehehe. Suffer."

Tears already dotted his blue eyes. "AHAHAHAHAHAEHEHEHEHE! MAX NO!!!" His laugh's octave rises when he finds his armpits. "NOHOHOHOT THEHEHEHEHERE!!!"

Maxie found this adorable and mildly amusing. He loved his big dorky husband more than anything, but he was also bloodthirsty for revenge. He lifted his arms away and grabbed one of Archie's ankles.

"N-Nohohohohoho!!" Archie gasped, trying so hard to crawl away. "Hehehehehe- b-babe no! Not there!"

He had absolutely no hesitation to his husband's pleas and dug his fingers into Archie's bare foot.

"OH FUHAHAHAHAHAHACK- HAHAHAHA MAHAHAHAXIHIHIHIHIEEEE!!" He squealed, thrashing around on the floor.

"Awww~ I'm sorry, is someone too ticklish here?" Maxie teased. "Well, that's too bad, isn't it? Tickle tickle tickle.."

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA- *wheeze* MAHAHAHA- MAXIEHEHEHEHEHE!! AHAHAHA- I GIVE!! I GIHIHIHIVE!!!"

"Are you going to sneak up on me like that again?" He asked.

"HEHEHEHEHEHELL YEHEHEHEAH I AM!!!" He barked out laughing.

"Wrong answer." Maxie dropped his feet and ran over to tickle his armpits again. "Let's try that again."

"BWAHAHAHAHA-! M-MAX!!! STOP IHIHIT!!!"

He repeated his question. "Are you going to sneak up on me like that again?"

"NAHAHAHAHOHOHO!! I WOHOHOHN'T BABE I PROHOHOHOMISE!!! STAHAHAHAHAP BEHEHEHEFORE IHIHIHI DIHIHIHIE!!!"

Maxie finally let him breathe and stood up, Archie laid on the floor, still giggling.

"That'll teach you." He smirked, glasses shining.

Archie sat up, still laughing. But his grin came back. He grabbed Maxie's ankles and pulled him into the floor.

"What the- AAAAAHH!"

The pirate caught him before he hit the floor. "I gotcha, babe.. now.. I think it's time that I finished eating.." Playfully growling, he pinned Maxie back down to the floor and attacked his stomach once more.

"NOOOOOO AHAHAHAHA- AHAHARCHIE!!!! NO NO NONONONOONAHAHAHAHA!!!"

He paused, picking him up and laying him on their bed. Then he restarted his shenanigans. Making Maxie laugh was now his favorite thing to do.

"Rrrr!! M' sorry Max, but all that laughing got me hungry again~ Now... gimme that belly~!" He chuckled, raising his hands up to his armpits while he nibbles at his belly. He made it worse with his sound effects. "Nom nom nom nom nom-"

"AHAHAHAHA- N-NOHOHOHOHO!!! HAHAHEHEEHEHEE!! AAAAAHAHAHA WHY DOHOHOHOES THAHAHAT TICKLE SOHOHOHO MUHUHUCH?! AHAHA- LET MEEHEEHEE GO! YOU AHAHARE SUCH AAHAHAHA JAHAHAHACKASS!!!"

"Mmm~ But ye love me anyway, sugar bear~" He nibbled at his stomach more, sending him back into a bigger giggle fit. "Let's hear that giggle of yers some more."

"NOOOOOOHOHOHOHOHOHO!!!!"

"Whaddya mean no?" Smirking, his arms went underneath the back of Maxie's shirt and hands clawed gently at his upper back. "No is not an answer, baby. C'mon, laugh some more for me, handsome man.."

"AAAAHHHEEEE!!" He screeched, writhing underneath Archie. "NOT THEHEHEHERE!!! NOHOHOT THERE NOT THEHEHERE!! PLEHEHEHEHEHEASE!!! HEHEHEHEHEEHEE!!"

"Mm?" He kept running a hand along his spinal cord, the other scratching his side. "Ohoho, so.. yer back is ticklish, eh? Hehehe..."

"No plehehehease Archie!! Don-AHAHAHA!!!!! *SNORT* Nohohohohahahaheheeheehee!!! ARCHIHIHIHIE!!! STAAAAP! HAHAHAHA- I'M GOHOHONNA DIHIHIHIE!!"

"Are ye ticklish here?"

His fingers rose up to right under Maxie's shoulder blades. That's when the smaller man began cackling.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA- *SNOOORT* ST-STAHAHAHAHA- HAHAHAHAHA!!! NO- AHAHAHEEHEHEHEHEEHEEHEE!! NOHOHOHOHOHO- PL-PLEHEHEHEHEASE-"

"Ye are ticklish there! I found the killer spot!" Archie cooed, enjoying his husband's sensitivity. "Gitchi gitchi goo! Tickle tickle tickle!"

His face was as red as his hair. And his laughter became silent. Tears soaked his red face, and his smile wide and bright.

"Whoa.." Archie blushed, watching Maxie writhe and try to squirm away from his clutches. "Y-yer so fucking cute..." He stopped tickling his back, but then went right back to his stomach.

"AHAHA- I- I- CAN'T- BREHEHEHEHEEATHE!! *HIC* AHAHAHARCHIE!!!!! PLEHEHEHEASE!!"

The pirate finally stopped, he constricted his arms around Maxie and his hands slipped under his shirt again.

"D-Dohohohon't you dahahare.." He warned him with a stream of giggles.

"M' just gonna rub yer back, babe.. don't worry."

Archie didn't really got the hint when he was tickling Maxie's back. Because when those fingers swept over his spine, he burst into hysterical laughter again.

"Ahahahahaha- Archie wait-! Ihihihi'm really ticklihihihish thehehere!!!!" He squeaked, falling back onto the bed. "Wahahahait-! Stooooooop!"

"Haha. Okay okay, babe." He restricted his hands away from his back and hugged him to his broad chest. "Yer a little bundle of nerves, ain't ye? So cute."

Maxie didn't respond, he just kept his giggles up, he couldn't stop. It's like he still felt Archie's fingers dancing on his tickle spots.

"Are ye ok, hun?" He opened his arms and helped him sit up. "Hehe, sorry I went overboard. Yer just so cute. Here..." He gently rubbed at the spots he tickled, getting rid of any phantom tickles Maxie was still feeling. "I'm so sorry, babe..."

*blush* "A-Archie... it's okay. I, um..."

"Mm?"

His face get even more red. "I... really enjoyed this. I'm very lucky to have you in my life.. please.." He chuckled. "Never change."

He hugged him. "Awwwwwww... babe, I'm never gonna change. *kiss* Yer so sweet.. *kiss* "I love ye, Maxie.." He pressed their lips together.

"Mmm... I love you, too." Maxie hummed, snuggling against his chest.
