Let's get a little day drunk

[moneymatters]

Scrooge crossed the grass with a rather decided march, though careful of the cargo he carried. Rather longer than he would've liked- even though it was only a few minutes of a walk at the most -he descended down the steps and to the cottage-looking door that'd been set in a hill, open to the sky. This was the ground-access passage to the Fraggle home beneath Duckburg, and it was on this door he pounded his spare fist twice. While he waited, what he held in his other hand giggled twice, and Scrooge rolled his eyes.

"Sure, Gobo. Anytime." The reply was made in earnest, but also in a gentle and matter-of-fact sort of way. They were always ready to help one another, after all. He continued to rub Gobo's stomach, humming a tune - or rather, a medley of a few different old Fraggle songs.

He closed his eyes, breathing out a soft sigh. He snuggled the blanket up some more, turned his head toward Wembley, and it wasn't long before he was asleep.

It wasn't long before he returned, pausing to look at the scene on the couch and nodding to himself. Looking up at Wembley, he waved and then signed. "I guess Gobo must be starting to feel better. I could hear you two flirting all the way back in the laundry room."

[forachange]

Wembley smiled widely, the top of his snout crinkling some, too, and he signed back, "I think he is, it's good. And we could've gotten you, but you flirt different than Gobo does."

There were benefits to being so indecisive; to often going along with others. One of them was that the very different people in Wembley's life brought out different sides of him - and that was perhaps best exemplified with his boyfriends and his flirtatious exchanges with each of them. With Gobo, there was a focus on goofing around, and on physical playfulness, while with Boober, flirting was more subtle, and mostly verbal.

[scaredsilly]

He laughed softly, in his way, and walked over to the couch. "That and Gobo was on your lap. I'd rather he stay there than be dragged in to a little flirting."

All the same, a gentle touch to the end of Wembley's nose, before he focused on making sure Gobo was completely covered by the blanket.

"There. A little Fraggle burrito."

[forachange]

Wembley nodded his agreement, then looked down to admire Boober's handiwork with the blanket. "That's so cute - he looks peaceful." A pause as he glanced at the spot he'd left behind on the couch when he'd scooted over. "Sit with us?"

[scaredsilly]

He nodded, then glanced down when he noticed Gobo watching him through a slitted eye. When Gobo then shifted, Boober smiled with a small "Ah" and sat on the couch, not in the spare spot but where Gobo had briefly lifted his legs from. The re-settling of his body got a small "Oof", but then he settled quite happily across both their laps.

[forachange]

"Aww," Wembley sighed happily. He was just... So happy to be there with them. He reached over to hold Boober's hand, and smiled from him over to Gobo and back. "This is good."

[scaredsilly]

"And all it took was for Gobo to have no self-control and get so drunk he didn't know his own name-" The rest of the sentence ended in a sputter when a fuschia puffball boofed him across the nose.

[forachange]

His free hand covered his mouth to stifle laughter. "You guys," he chided teasingly. "Play nice."

[gobetween]

"No-" Then it was his turn for a wordless exclamation when Boober yanked the blanket down over his face.

[forachange]

It was a good thing Gobo was partially on his lap as an anchor, because Wembley laughed so hard at that he might have otherwise slipped right off the couch.

Yeah, this was good, too, Wembley decided. He proceeded to pick up a small decorative pillow and toss it at Boober.

[scaredsilly]

He caught the pillow full on in the face, spitting for a moment after and giving it a toss right back.

"This isn't exactly conducive to helping Gobo feel better, you know."

Said in a highly amused tone of voice, mind.

[gobetween]

"Yes it is!" He snickered, headache be damned. "Laughter is the best medicine, right?"

And any reply of Boober's was caught off by another faceful of tail.

[forachange]

"It sure is!" Wembley exclaimed, after the pillow bopped his nose. He then brought it down - still gently enough, of course - on Gobo's legs, as best he could reach.

[gobetween]

He grunted at that, laughing some. Hands out from the blanket he pushed up some, until he could blow a hearty raspberry against Wembley's exposed stomach.

[forachange]

"No fair tickling, no fair tickling!" Wembley gasped, wiggling happily as he giggled. He tossed the pillow at Boober again, with a plea of "Help!" that was probably more than a little hard to take seriously.

[scaredsilly]

He actually caught the pillow this time, carefully set it down where it went against the arm of the couch, then feigned hands on hips.

"I think if Gobo is going to bring tickling into this," he paused until he noticed Gobo was looking at him even against Wembley's stomach, "then he should be prepared to get it from other sides!"

Since Gobo's arms were exposed now that's where Boober's fingers went, all up and down and under until the prone Fraggle was squirming and laughing.

[forachange]

"Ooh-ho, yeah!" Wembley grinned and tickled his fingers along the bottom of Gobo's snout, and under his chin. Then, a bit of slyness to that smile for a moment, as he glanced over at Boober. His tail snaked its way to the arm of the hand Wembley still held, the poof of it tickling that wrist.

[scaredsilly]

Though it didn't impede further tickling of Gobo, Boober did gigglesnort at that. "Wembley~!"

2/2

[gobetween]

He was laughing harder now, keeping his arms tucked up close to him, shoulders bunched against Boober, and now with Wembley he practically buried his chin in his chest.

"Alright I give, eh? I give!"

[forachange]

Wembley's tickling fingers and tail both retreated as he smiled up at the ceiling. "And you thought you were gonna get me," he teased, smoothing Gobo's hair with one hand, while his other squeezed Boober's. Yesterday had been an awful day, but today? Today was looking pretty good.

[gobetween]

"Ohhh, I'll get you alright." Still giggling but calming down now, he pulled the blanket up a bit, leaving arms and up free. "Soon as I'm feelin' 100%, I'll get you good."

[forachange]

Wembley just grinned at that - and a quick wink Gobo's way - then he looked back up at the ceiling before he closed his eyes entirely. "I love you guys... Also, I might just- Take a little nap here."

[gobetween]

"Love you too." That wink got a grin, then he yaawwned, and rested his hands on his chest, lacing his fingers.

"But yeah, a nap sounds good."
