"Papaaa." Dream whines as he walks into the living room. Karl looks up from his phone with a questioning look.
"I miss you." Dream says, pouting slightly. "We're in the same house." Karl reasons, laughing a bit. "So?"
Dream, being silly, flops back against Karl who's sitting on the couch.
Karl giggles softly and reaches over to tickle Dreams stomach where his hoodie has ridden up slightly from the movement.
Dream flinches at the sudden touch but leaves it alone.
When it doesn't stop, he tries to push the hand away. He laughs a bit, curse his nervous habit.
Karl, assuming that Dream is playing, continues the tickling. Dream whines quietly, his face scrunching up.
"Stop!" Dream gasps out, breathless from his nervous laughter. "No more, off." He squirms away from Karl and rolls off the couch, landing with a hard thump on the ground.
"Ouch." Dream mumbles, his hand cradling his side carefully. "Said to stop." He says, directing the words to Karl who's looking at Dream guiltily.
"I'm sorry prince. I should've stopped, I thought you were playing around." Karl says. "Is that a new boundary?" He asks next, his face suddenly serious.
"Mm, don' like tickles." Dream nods. "Make me feel... trapped 'nd ... ouch." Dream manages to say, his five year old mindset making it hard to form words.
"Okay love, no more tickles." Karl agrees. "Are cuddles still okay?" Dream laughs and nods, standing up on wobbly legs.
He makes his way back onto the couch and falls into Karls arms, sighing with content once he's snuggled up against Karl.
Karl hums and grabs the remote. "Pick a movie." Karl urges while opening Netflix on the tv.
"Uh.. umm, baymax." Dream says, pointing to the screen. "Big hero six? Good choice." Karl clicks on the movie and lays back while the opening plays.
Dream sighs again, his body relaxing against Karls. "T'anks." He mumbles. "For?" Karl asks.
"Not ticklin' me." Dream says, giggling quietly at Karls confused expression.
"You're welcome?"
