Clewy is happily walking in the grass, thinking about what he and Picture could do after lunch, since there's no challenge. He spots Lightbolb sitting alone on a patch of grass, watching a flower grow.
"Eh.. Lightbolb? Are you alright?" Clewy asks, stepping closer.
Lightbolb nods her head, smiling. She doesn't seem to notice the flower isn't moving much. She stands up, reaching down to give Clewy a hug. Clewy happily accepts, hugging her back. Clewy may not have arms, but his legs are perfectly fine.
"Hey Lightbolb, I have a question for you." Clewy looks up into her eyes.
"What's up?" She smiles, looking down at Clewy.
"Has someone ever given you affection first? Like, initiated a hug, or tried to tickle you, before? Because I've never seen it." Clewy asks.
"No, actually. But that's fine with me! Sometimes objects can be unpredictable! Also, no, I've never been tickled. People usually just assume that because I'm made of glass, it wouldn't tickle." She sort of smiles, looking a bit down.
"Oh! Well, that's not right. You deserve affection too! And plus, Yigoroish Bottle and Picture, for example, are ticklish, and their made of all or some glass!" Clewy seems to kind of smirk, glancing up at Lightbolb, "Maybe you'd like it!"
"Hmm.. you can try if you want!" Lightbolb offers, smiling.
"Alrighty! Sit down, then" Clewy smiles.
Lightbolb sits down, waiting. She seems excited. Clewy uses the end of his string, which Picture calls his tail, to tickle Lightbolb's foot. Lightbolb doesn't immediately react, but after a few seconds, she starts to giggle. She pulls her foot back, out of her own control, and sits on it. Clewy has an idea. He is made of string, so he'll just wait for Lightbolb to put her other foot back out, and he could just tie them together!
"That felt super weird!" Lightbolb smiles.
She sticks her foot back out, and Clewy wastes no time tying her feet together. He cuts off the end of the string he used, and makes a new tail. It's designed like a feather, with wavy cuts. He tries to tickle her foot again, and to his surprise, she starts trying to pull her feet under herself while laughing.
"Haha! That feels funny but weird at the same time!" She giggles, trying to get her feet away from the tickly-ness of Clewy's tail.
Clewy moves on, starting to tickle her sides. This causes her to burst out laughing. Clewy smiles, knowing that everyone else was horribly mistaken. He continues to tickle her sides, causing loud laughter. Clewy doesn't bother trying to tickle her underarms, cause he can already tell they wouldn't be ticklish, because literally nobody else's are. He goes to tickle the backs of her knees, which causes her to kick hard enough to break the knot holding her feet together. She smirks, looking at Clewy. He looks at her, his smirk going to a semi-nervous smile. Lightbolb pushes him over and grabs his foot. Clewy looks at her, knowing he's about to laugh for a while. She's great at tickling, but just had her first time being tickled. Now she's really determined. She immediately attacks his foot, causing him to burst out laughing and to starts trying to kick.
"L-LIGHTBOHOLLB!! NHAHAAHAHOOO!! PLEAHHAHAHASSEE!!" Clewy begs, kicking and laughing.
She tickles him for ten minutes non-stop, then lets him go. Clewy hugs Lightbolb after, smiling. She smiles so widely. This was her first hug from another person. She hugs him back, smiling. Today was a good day for them both, and as Picture walks over, they both stare at him.
"Hey, guys, it's time for lunch!" Picture grins, waiting for them to start walking before walking beside Clewy.
