Tickle One Shots

Phil and Maddie

Anyone seen the show StartUp? This is a fanfic for the side characters Phil Rask and his colleague Maddie Pierce, and it completely disregards the plot of the show because I shipped them and they didn't exactly have a good ending... No spoilers, though.

Phil traced one finger down Maddie's soft side, making a breath catch in her throat. She is a determined girl, and she was promising to herself that she needed her ticklishness to be a secret from Phil, otherwise it's probably gonna be hell for her every time they were in a good mood.

A tiny smile formed on Phil's face, noticing the little hitch in Maddie's breath. He spidered a few fingers down both Maddie's sides, enjoying immensely the widening of her eyes and short gasp for air.

"So, you don't feel anything at all Maddie?" Phil asked with the corners of his mouth rising.

"Nope." The stubborn girl managed.

"Well, that's cool." Phil said as he started slowly circling the poor girl's tummy with fingertips from both hands. The occasional up and down spidering motion and constant switching of direction made Maddie shut her eyes and pray it would be over soon. She was quivering and twitching but still held an impressive control, but she was giving it all her might because god knows her tummy and sides were actually one of her worst spots.

"Am I giving you a good massage here?" Phil smiled gently, awaiting response, but none came from Maddie who was now red in the face and desperately holding her breath at the slow fingertips. Each trace made her scream inside, her limits closer and closer.

The hellish sensation stopped for a moment. Maddie opened her eyes to see a puppy-eyed Phil blinking at her. Not him acting all cute after bullying me. Maddie thought.

"So you're not ticklish at all?" Phil asked innocently.

"No, and let me go!" She struggled against the yoga ropes that tied her wrists and ankles to the corners of their bed. Truth be told, she didn't fight back all that much when he tied her down, partly due to her curiosity of how fun and arousing it could be to let him torture her a little like that.

He bent over her and gave her a soft peck to the lips with the gentlest look in his eyes. "We both know that's not happening, baby girl."

"Pfft."

"What?" He looked at her in confusion.

"Baby girl," she mimicked. "Whoever says 'baby girl' these days."

"Oh no you didn't," still bending over her, he started tracing both his hands down the inner side of her arms, from her wrists all the way till just before her armpits. This got her to suck in short breaths again, and he looked at her in amusement and said, "you did not just laugh at my cute nicknames for you. You know I pick those with care."

"Ye-yeah." She choked a little trying to hold back the laughter.

"Yeah what?" He continued, with his fingers a bit faster and doing the spider motion when they reached her armpits this time. "Yeah you sure did make fun of me, or yeah you think the nickname is cute, or," his smile turned devilish, "yeah this tickles?"

"Mmm!" Was all she could make out.

"Maybe I'll find out for myself then." He started spidering all up and down her torso, making her eyes absolutely expand with fear, still pursing her lips shut with the last bit of control over her body, Maddie held onto her dear dignity, though it was crumbling by the second.

The cunning man's fingers found their way to the poor girl's butt, though she was on her back so her butt is pressed against the bed, but the sides of it was good enough to get him started with, and he traced both hands' fingers down there.
