Work Can Be Hard, But You'll Smile In The End

Smile!

Thomas Was Being Grumpy, As Usual. Though, Wally Rarely Ever Being Able To See His Smile, Wanted To Change That. It Was A Horrible Monday Morning, In December, And On Top Of That, It Snowed. Meaning Thomas And Wally, Would Have To Shovel It.

"Stupid Joey...Making Me...Shovel The Darn, Snow..." Thomas Grumbled.

Wally Was Just as Angry, But He Wasn't Going To Let This Opportunity Go. Thomas Kept Grumbling To Himself, But He Felt Something Hit His Back. He Turned Around With A Very Frustrated Look. It Spooked Wally At First As He Was Teasingly Throwing A Snowball Up and Down, In His Hand.

"Get Back To Work. Wally" Thomas Demanded, Even Though He Wanted Nothing More, Than To Play In The Snow With His Lover. He Really Didn't Want To Get Yelled At By Joey.

"Fine. Time For Plan Two" Wally Quietly Stated, He Crept Up Behind Thomas.

Though Thomas Knew Wally, So As Soon As Wally Launched Forwards, Thomas Dodged. Making Wally Face Flat In The Snow, What Thomas Didn't Know, Was Wally Had His Hand On The Back Of His Ankle, Ready To Pull. Him. Down.

"Ha! You Really Thou-!" Thomas's Victory Was Cut Short, As Wally Pulled Him Down, While He Was Off Guard, And Quickly Straddled Him. Wally Dug His Hands Into Thomas's Armpits. Thomas Howled With Laughter.

"Wahahahahally!!! Staahhahahap It!! Please!!" Thomas Kicked, And Tried To Buck, Wally Off. He Failed.

"Aww~ Your Laugh Is So Cute~ I Wish I Could Hear It More Often~" Wally Cooed, As He Let One Hand Keep Tickling Under Thomas's Arm, The Other On His Thigh, Squeezing Playfully.

"S-Shuhuhut Up!! S-Stahahahahap It!" Thomas Thrashed, And Blushed A Bit By Wally's Teasing.

"Hmm, Maybe Later" Wally Smirked. As He Kept Tickling, Enjoying The Sight Of Thomas's Smile.

"Nohohohoho!! Stahahahap Now!!" Thomas Shrieked.

Couple Seconds Later, The Door To The Studio Opened, And Out Came Ms. Campbell And Ms. Pendle. They Stopped And Looked Over At Wally And Thomas.

"Did We Interrupt Something, Fellas?" Allison Asked.

"Nah Your Fine, I Was Just Getting Tom Here To Smile." Wally Smiled, And Gestured To His Hands, Then To A Still Slightly Giggling And Out Of Breath Thomas.

"Hehe, Well Don't Forget To Keep Warm." Susie Giggled At The Sight, And Hooked Her Arm Around Allison's. As They Walked To Their Car.

"She's Right, Let's Get Ourselves Warmed Up." Wally Helped Thomas Up, And Gave Him A Quick Peck On The Lips.

They Walked To Their Car, Drove Home, And Laid Down Together In Bed.

"Wally, Thank You. I Really Needed That." Thomas Smiled Warmly At Wally.

"Anytime, Tommy" Wally Smiled Back, And Closed His Eyes. Soon Thomas Did Too, And They Fell Asleep Feeling Glad To Have Each Other.
