Tickle Belt

“This is humiliating,” Sombra muttered under his breath as he looked his body up and down in the full length mirror before him. He frowned as he cocked his head to the side. Most of his body was enveloped in a long flowing red cape that tied around his neck and hung just a few inches off of the floor. He lifted his front left hoof and pushed back part of the cape to reveal a tight band wrapped firmly around his midsection. It was pressed up to both his belly and his ribs. He couldn’t so much as take in a full breath without being annoyingly reminded of its existence.

“It’s not so bad,” Shining Armor said. Sombra resisted the urge to pout like a small colt. He turned his head and glared at Shining Armor, who looked annoyingly full of sunshine and smiles as usual. It bugged him just how carefree the prince was always able to look.

“I feel like a mutt being led around on a leash,” Sombra said with an annoyed grumble before lowering the cape to hide the belt locked around him.

“Well, you did agree to it,” Shining Armor said with a slight shrug. “No time outside of the castle without restrictions in place. At least until you’re fully reformed.”

Reformed. Sombra frowned at his own reflection in the mirror upon hearing that word. He could feel a glimmer of his old self, the hateful and ruthless self, bubble up beneath the surface. It made the fur on the back of his neck stand up on end. He knew that Shining Armor was fully within his rights not to trust him entirely. He had already done more than enough giving him a chance like this. Sombra didn’t know if it was naivete or genuine kindness that prompted both prince and princess to take such a wild chance on Sombra, but he knew he had to do everything in his power to make sure that chance wasn’t wasted.

“I didn’t say I wouldn’t wear it,” Sombra muttered. “But that isn’t going to stop me from complaining.”

“Does anything?” Shining Armor asked.

Sombra glared at Shining Armor, and was met only with an annoyingly bright laugh from the prince.

“You don’t look nearly as menacing as you think when you glare like that,” Shining Armor said. “Oh, and for that evil little glare I might as well give you a taste…”

“W-Wait, what?” Sombra snapped.

However it was too late. Before Sombra had time to process what was going on Shining Armor’s horn lit up. The belt that had been so firmly and carefully secured to his midsection began to emit a tingling sensation. It was light at first, which made Sombra start to squirm in place. He shifted his weight from hoof to hoof erratically. It felt like a deep, pulsating tingle was attacking the nerves on his belly and lower ribcage at once. He bit his lip, and shut his eyes firmly in a vain attempt to keep quiet. However this was a pointless fight, as very quickly noises began to squeak out between his tight-jawed teeth.

“A-Ahahaha! K-Knohohock it off!” Sombra whined loudly. He felt his legs turn to jelly. He tried to take a small step and found himself tumbling over until he was on the floor wrapped helplessly in his overly large cape with hooves tugging at the tight belt tickling him senseless.

“Whose sorry for giving me the death glare?” Shining Armor asked as he approached Sombra.

“A-Ahahaha screw you!” Sombra yelled.

“Oh, that’s not what I wanted to hear,” Shining Armor said with a disappointed shake of his head. “Wanna repeat that?”

Another flash of Shining Armor’s horn and Sombra felt the tingling grow more intense. Now it was more like dozens upon dozens of tiny feathers were stroking every inch the belt covered. The more he laughed the worse the tickling sensation seemed to get. A loud and helpless squeal of agony escaped Sombra’s mouth as he rolled on the floor helplessly.

“I-I’M SOHOHORRY!” Sombra cried out.

Just like that, the tickling stopped. Sombra was left gasping on the floor as he looked up to see Shining Armor clearly fight the urge to smile down at him.

“You’re enjoying this,” Sombra grumbled.

“Maybe a little bit,” Shining Armor said.

“I thought I was the evil king here,” Sombra said as he shakily got up to his hooves. He knew his cheeks were blushing a light pink and felt silly for allowing his emotions to get the best of him. “What would Cadance think of you so gleefully torturing an old stallion?”

“Oh, please,” Shining Armor said before rolling his eyes. He went over to Sombra and made sure he was able to stand on his own. “You’re being dramatic again. Once you compose yourself we’ll head out of the castle. Some fresh air’ll do both you and that nasty mood of yours some good.”

Sombra let out a long and weary sigh. He knew Shining Armor was right. He had been cooped up far too long in this castle. Though its halls were vast Sombra found himself tired of roaming them. There was only so much interest he could pour into books of the history he had missed in his thousand-year absence before wanting to see it for himself. Still, the fact that he was still not permitted to leave without such humiliating means kept him from wanting to venture out all that often. Truthfully today would have been much the same, had it not been for Shining Armor pushing him.

“You’re right,” Sombra said. “I have been cooped up too long. I… I shouldn’t be so ungrateful. I apologize.”

Much to Sombra’s surprise, Shining Armor laughed.

“Wh-What’s so funny?” Sombra snapped with a glare.

“Nothing,” Shining Armor said. “You just look like a foal with its tail between its legs when you apologize. It’s awfully cute, you know.”

“Mmm… Stupid Prince,” Sombra muttered under his breath.

————————————

The fresh air was something Sombra didn’t realize he would cherish so much until he was fully out of the castle grounds. He had been of course permitted to go outside on his own plenty, but never past the castle walls without supervision. Most of his fresh air since his redemption had been confined to balconies overlooking the Crystal Kingdom, and something about the air up there didn’t feel nearly as refreshing as what was in town.

“You look happy,” Shining Armor said. “For a change.”

Sombra glared over at Shining Armor, who proceeded to chuckle.

“I didn’t realize I was the embodiment of doom and gloom,” Sombra said.

“That’s not what I mean,” Shining Armor said before rolling his eyes. “Just that you don’t look like you’re thinking too hard. I can’t remember the last time I saw you relaxed like this.”

“It’s not like I’ve been stressed or anything,” Sombra muttered softly, suddenly feeling a bit sheepish. “I guess I’ve just been cooped up for too long.”

Shining Armor smiled, and proceeded to bump his body lightly into Sombra’s side. Sombra jumped a bit, not expecting the touch, but looked over to see a warm and inviting smile on Shining Armor’s lips. He hated how fast his cheeks grew warm at the sight of it.

“So where are we headed?” Sombra asked in his best attempt to change the subject.

“I have some small errands to run,” Shining Armor said. “Princely stuff. It shouldn’t take too long. After that we can do whatever you like.”

“Prince, I…”

“Ah ah ah, no complaining,” Shining Armor said. “You said yourself you’ve been cooped up.”

Sombra shut his mouth. He sometimes hated just how kind and thoughtful Shining Armor was. It reminded him all too much of the work he still needed to do on himself.

“First,” Shining Armor said. “We should head on over to the…”

Before Shining Armor could finish talking, he was interrupted by the sound of a loud and frightful gasp. Sombra turned his attention to the sight of a mare who was staring straight at him with a horrified look. She looked petrified to the point Sombra wondered if she had turned to stone. A moment later she reached down and snatched the hoof of a young filly who was beside her.

“We’re leaving,” The pony said. “Now!”

“H-Hold on!” Sombra said, stepping forward and trying to stop the mare. She let out a shrill squeal of fear as she ran. “Stop right there you stupid mare!”

There was a vile tone in his voice as he shouted, which only made the mare seem to run quicker.

Sombra felt panic twist in his guts. Just the sight of him had caused this mare to run. No, this wasn’t right. He had to stop her. Had to explain that he wasn’t going to do anything bad. Without thinking he felt his magic start up and a faint glow began to wrap around one of the mare’s hind legs. His only thought was to stop her, and try to talk and say he wasn’t going to do anything awful.

The mare running didn’t even have time to notice Sombra had grabbed her leg before his magic was cut off. Suddenly his panic and desire to stop this mare was replaced with the reminder of the belt tightly wrapped around his midsection. It began to tingle again. His legs turned to jelly as the overpowering sensation of tickling enveloped his mind.

That damn tune began to play in his mind again. It was maddening to hear his thoughts be drowned out by it. By the time the mare was out of sight Sombra had fallen to the ground and was desperately covering his muzzle to keep from squealing with laughter.

“D-Dahahamn thing!” Sombra cried out in anger at the belt.

“I hope you know why I did that,” Shining Armor said.

“J-Just make it st-tohohop!” Sombra whined.

“We’ve talked about using magic on my citizens,” Shining Armor said. “Even if you didn’t mean any harm.”

“I-I’m sohohorry!” Sombra whined. “Plehehese stop tickling!”

By the time the tingling tickling stopped Sombra was out of breath. He looked up to see Shining Armor look down at him with a sympathetic smile.

“Don’t say anything,” Sombra grumbled. He ignored Shining Armor reaching out his hoof to help him up and got up to his own four legs. “I don’t need a lesson right now. I know what I did wrong.”

“I’m glad,” Shining Armor said. “Don’t worry. I’m not mad. I just wanted to stop you before you did anything stupid.”

Sombra remained silent. It wasn’t until Shining Armor nodded for them to get moving again that he walked forward with a heavy sigh. The two walked in silence for some time. Sombra kept his head down to avoid the gazes of the crystal ponies they passed, as he knew they would only upset him more. It was always strange to walk the town and see ponies mixed reactions of joy for Shining Armor and horror for Sombra. Though it was rare these days to have ponies scream at the sight of him as that mare did just now, he knew they all were wary.

“This is why I don’t like leaving the castle,” Sombra said.

“I know,” Shining Armor said with a sigh of admittance and understanding. “But fresh air is good for you. Besides, I can’t exactly go into town without my number one bodyguard by my side, can I?”

Sombra fought the urge to smile at that compliment, but Shining Armor seemed to catch the slight tug on the black pony’s lips.

“C’mon, don’t fight it!” Shining Armor said.

“Screw you,” Sombra grumbled.

Out of the corner of his eye, Sombra saw Shining Armor’s horn light up again.

“W-Wait wait wait hohohold on!”

Before Sombra could argue the tickling sensation started up again. His lips clamped shut but instantly Sombra stopped in his tracks. His jaw began to tremble so he held it shut. It was like dozens upon dozens of feathers were all stroking his belly with relentless accuracy to his weak spots. He managed to keep his legs steady this time, but they were stiff as stone to prevent him from crumbling to the ground.

“Coochie coochie coo,” Shining Armor’s voice rang in Sombra’s head without Shining Armor needing so much as to open his mouth. Another perk of this damned belt. “Tickle tickle tickle! You know you wanna smile, Sombra~”

“J-Jeheherk…” Sombra spat out behind helplessly curling lips which eventually did form a smile against his will. Only when Sombra’s face was flushed with embarrassment did Shining Armor let up.

Shining Armor let up the teasing as the two continued out to their destination. Sombra walked a full hoofstep behind to hide his blush, and found himself thankful for the long cape which covered his flank. It seemed that the tingling tickles had another effect on him that he was unable to control, and with each movement his hind legs made he was reminded of it. Shining hadn’t seemed to notice, and with Sombra able to easily hide it he didn’t feel like bringing it up quite yet.

A few more ponies gave him strange glances as they made their way through town. Sombra fought his instinctual urge to glare at them and instead kept his head either down or focused on Shining Armor. Trying to bite back those old habits of snarling anger were harder than he liked to admit.

They finally reached their destination. It was a small building tucked in between two larger ones.

“Wait out here,” Shining said before giving Sombra a playful wink. “I’ll only be a sec.”

“As you wish,” Sombra said with a nod of his head.

As soon as Shining Armor was inside Sombra let out a long sigh. He glanced back to the ponies on the streets who couldn’t seem to keep their watchful eyes to themselves. Sombra bit his cheek to keep from growling at them. It was nearly impossible to ignore the fact that ponies were going to the opposite side of the street just to avoid walking near him. He stared at the ground, hoping that his bubbling frustration would subside. The last thing he needed was to cause any sort of incident and prove all these ponies right on who he truly was.

Shining Armor was out of the building in under ten minutes. They were on their way quickly, much to Sombra’s relief. The rest of their duties followed a similar pattern of making quick stops where Sombra waited outside and tried to ignore the way citizens looked at him. He felt relief when it was just him and Shining Armor walking and making small talk between stops. It was almost enough for Sombra to feel normal, and like he was just having a day out with a friend.

“Alright, that’s it,” Shining Armor said upon exiting their fourth and final stop.

Sombra looked up. He had been tracing meaningless patterns in the dirt with a stick to keep his thoughts occupied.

“Back to the castle?” Sombra asked.

“Oh, heck no,” Shining Armor said while shaking his head. “I told you, remember, we can do whatever YOU want to do now.”

Sombra looked out to the crowds of ponies who kept turning their gazes. It wasn’t exactly inspiring him to think outside the box. He glanced to the ground with a frown and shook his head slowly.

Shining Armor seemed to sense Sombra’s discomfort. When he glanced up the white stallion was frowning with a look Sombra knew all too well as him thinking. Eventually his eyes widened and his frown turned into a smile, like some kind of lightbulb had just lit up inside of his head. He reached his foreleg out and grabbed Sombra by his hoof.

“Come with me,” Shining Armor said.

Not having the energy nor patience to argue, Sombra let out a groan and simply obeyed his prince’s instructions. He let Shining Armor drag him through town for quite awhile until the buildings and homes became more sparse and nature began to look more lively.

“Where are you taking me?” Sombra asked.

“Nowhere special,” Shining Armor said with a shrug and a wink as he looked over his shoulder.

Sombra resisted the urge to complain. He hated surprises. However, he thought he might as well humor the prince to see where he was going with all of this. Once they were out of the town and into a small grassy field Sombra looked over his shoulder to see none of the citizens ventured out this far from the town. The buildings were beginning to look small.

“We’re awfully far from the castle,” Sombra said.

“I know,” Shining Armor said as they made their way up a small yet steep hill. “But we’re also far from the citizens.”

They made their way over the hill until Sombra looked back and saw that it shielded their view from the town. While still well within the limits of the Crystal Empire, it was rare for ponies to travel this far into the fields away from the roads that led out of town. The two were entirely alone now.

Just when Sombra was about to turn his head and ask Shining Armor why he had brought him all the way out here, he heard something in his head. That damned tune began to act up again. On top of that, he heard the faintest teasing tone of the prince’s voice linger inside of his head.

“Tickle tickle tickle~” Shining Armor’s voice seemed to echo.

“P-Prince!” Sombra snapped as he looked over to see Shining Armor’s horn glowing at full force. His eyes were wide as he realized the belt around his body was beginning to activate. Suddenly it was like a dozen tiny dragon claws were all digging into him at once. A silly yet terrifying sound emitted from the belt as it began to buzz. This wasn’t the light teasing from before, but a full out attack from Shining Armor. Suddenly Sombra’s legs turned to jelly and he collapsed to the ground and fell onto the grass.

“A-Ahahahaha! It tickles! Ehehehee! Ohohohooo!”

Sombra began to not only laugh, but squeal as the belt grew ruthless. He rolled on the grass back and forth letting out laughter he couldn’t control. When he cracked his eyes open he saw Shining Armor walk up to him with a devious smile on his face.

“Wh-Whahahahat are you DOING?” Sombra cried out.

“Nothing,” Shining Armor said out loud as he crouched down and put his weight on Sombra’s body to keep him from rolling back and forth. “I just got so tired of seeing you all gloom and doom. I thought you needed a good laugh.”

Without warning Shining Armor lowered his head down and nipped at Sombra’s exposed neck. This sensation on top of the belt’s caused Sombra to let out a yelp in a pitch he didn’t know his tone could reach.

“I-I hahahaate you!” Sombra cried out. He kicked his hind legs helplessly trying to squirm and writhe his way out from under Shining Armor’s weight. He soon found out this was a pointless endeavor when Shining Armor’s horn flashed once more and the belt’s tickling changed.

Instead of it feeling like dozens of tiny dragon claws against his ribs, now the belt pulsated. It would vibrate with such intensity that Sombra’s mind became flooded with nothing more than the desire to squeal with laughter. Then it would die down just long enough for him to catch his breath and whine as that damned tune rang in his head.

“Coochie coochie coo~” Shining Armor’s voice teased despite the fact his mouth was occupied with nibbling and kissing his neck. “Whose a ticklish pony? Who loves to laugh and squirm all night long?”

“S-Scheheherew you!” Sombra cried out.

The belt continued to pulse. The tickling would ramp up to such intensity that his loudest most passionate squeals weren’t loud enough to convey how much it tickled. Then, moments later it would return to a dull teasing that merely made him giggle. This mix of intensity and teasing was driving him mad in record time.

“That’s right,” Shining Armor said aloud as he lifted his head from Sombra’s neck at last. He placed a hoof flat against Sombra’s fluffy chest and ran it in light, teasing circles. “Let all that laughter out. Feels good, doesn’t it?”

“E-Ehehehee!” Sombra could do little more than giggle helplessly for a response. “Y-You’re a bahahahastard!”

“You’re awfully daring to insult me when I have this much power over you,” Shining Armor said. “You must like it when I ramp up the intensity if you’re still willing to insult me, huh?”

“A-Ahahahaha nohohohoo!”

“Yehehehes?” Shining Armor asked in a tone meant to mock Sombra’s laughter. “Okay, we’ll ramp it up!”

“Eeeeeheheheee!”

The pulsing rhythm of the belt died down. It fell into a more consistent middle ground between the light teasing and the hellish intensity, which left Sombra a laughing mess as he writhed on the grass.

“Whose a little adorable tickle toy?” Shining Armor spoke directly into his head once more. The teasing tickling was enough to drive anypony mad, but Shining’s verbal torment on top of it was making poor Sombra lose his mind. He let out a loud and helpless squeal of shrill laughter which was so high pitched his face instantly lit up bright pink to match his embarrassment for emitting such a noise.

Shining Armor sat up and stared down at Sombra, who could do little more than writhe and laugh as the agonizing tickling continued. He cracked open his eyes to see Shining’s devious smile. He lifted a hoof and stroked Sombra’s face to brush away his wild mane which had become a mess during all of the struggling.

It didn’t take long for Shining Armor to discover Sombra’s dirty little secret. A hoof lowered itself between Sombra’s legs and gently clasped over his quickly hardening member. Sombra paused his laughter for only a moment to let out a gasp of surprise at the hoof suddenly touching the sensitive area.

“This belt really was an awful idea to punish you, in retrospect,” Shining Armor said with a smile that could make Sombra melt into a blushing puddle all on its own. “Cause clearly you love to be tickled senseless by it.”

“S-Screw yohohohu!” Sombra cried out.

“Aww, I know you don’t mean that,” Shining Armor cooed as he lowered his face again and planted a kiss on Sombra’s cheek. “Why don’t you just admit you’re a cute little tickle slut?”

“E-Eheheheheeeee nohohoo!”

This seemed to be the answer Shining Armor was after, ironically enough. This gave the prince the perfect excuse to activate his magic once more, and turn up the intensity of the belt. Sombra’s eyes could only widen in horror as he realized what Shining was doing before the belt kicked up a notch. It began to buzz and vibrate with such intensity that Sombra practically felt his heart burst right out of his chest.

Suddenly it was like dozens upon dozens of feathers were all running over Sombra’s midsection. Their soft and tender touch was complete and utter torture, as if they were running over Sombra’s ticklish nerves. He could feel every touch of their fluffy tips as they grazed over his body. It was like hundreds if not thousands of feathers were running over him and clawing desperately at his sides to rip laughter out of him.

“AAAHAHAHAHAAAA TOHOHOHOOO MUCH!” Sombra cried out. He was practically screaming now. “PLEHEHEHEEEEESE!”

“Oooh, please?” Shining Armor said. “That’s a new one. The big bad king is pleading with me! That’s not what I wanna hear, though!”

Sombra thought he was indeed going to lose his mind. He felt his back arch as invisible feathers under the belt continued to swarm his body.

“I-I’M AHAHAHAHAA TICKLE SLUT! AHAHAHAAA! HAHAHAPPY YOU AHAHAHASSS?”

“What was that?” Shining Armor asked. “Can’t quite hear you over all that girlish squealing!”

“I’M A TICKLE SLUT AHAHAAAAA!”

“One more time?”

“I’M GOHOHOHNA KILL YOHOHOU!”

Shining Armor chuckled, though Sombra was squealing so loud he didn’t exactly hear it and only saw it, then he decided to lighten up the teasing. The buzzing sensation of the belt died down, and the touch of feathers was replaced by a constant yet manageable tingling throughout the entirety of the belt. Sombra was left with tears in his eyes and gasping for air. Though his body wanted to relax the tickling was still just intense enough where he couldn’t quite ignore it, which kept him giggling despite his aching chest.

“This blasted belt is the worst thing ever invented,” Sombra said wearily between giggles.

“Oh, I know you don’t mean that,” Shining Armor said as his hoof returned to between Sombra’s hind legs once more and touched the cock which had become fully erect during the last bout of intensity.

Sombra felt his cheeks glow as he glanced away and frowned. Shining was pushing all of his buttons again. He shut his eyes as he felt a hoof travel up and down the length of his member. It was hard to decide if the tickling or the stroking was more distracting.

“Mhmmhmhm,” Sombra giggled behind closed lips. His jaw trembled trying to contain his laughter, but this entire time it felt like tiny buzzing brushes were running along his belly and over his ribs. No amount of squirming lessened the sensation, but Sombra’s body moved against his better judgement.

“You know you look adorable right now,” Shining Armor said. “I can’t believe those silly ponies are scared of you. Maybe if they knew how to make you blush and whine like I do.”

“S-Shuhuhut up!” Sombra whined.

“And have you stop looking so cute when I tease you?” Shining Armor asked. “Not a chance.”

Sombra hated Shining Armor with every fiber of his being right now. This was especially confusing, as he also adored Shining Armor with equal intensity. Tickling really did put him in a headspace difficult to describe. He despised it yet his body craved it beyond reason. It made him feel pathetic and weak while also pushing so many buttons he did not know existed previously. Perhaps the humiliation that came from being broken by such simple means was what came off as so erotic to the once powerful king. He hated to admit it, but he truly did adore being pushed to such limits. He loved being submissive for Shining Armor.

“What’s wrong?” Shining Armor asked. “You look more embarrassed than usual.”

“N-Nothing,” Sombra spat out. “A-Are you going to turn up the intensity again or what?”

Shining Armor grinned.

“You really are a tickle slut,” Shining said.

“Mmmm,” Sombra whined. He didn’t have the energy to deny it or snap back any longer. He just wanted to feel the tickle belt wreck his senses again. This entire time Shining Armor had been stroking his cock, and more and more naughty thoughts about tickling flooded his mind. It was getting harder and harder for Sombra to hold back loud moans between his laughter, as Shining had done a good job of teasing him into a state of near absolute submission.

Shining Armor upped the intensity bit by bit. Every few moments his horn would give a brief yet bright flash and it was like another tickling tool was added against Sombra’s body. Each crank of the belt’s power made Sombra want to whine louder and louder. As he shut his eyes he could focus on nothing but the sensation of his cock being pleasured and the every more noticeable torture.

“You wanna be tortured,” Shining Armor continued to press. He was essentially teasing a bear with a stick at this point. “You love how it feels having your body absolutely WRECKED by my tickling, huh?”

“A-Ahahahaa! Sh-Shining! Ehehehee!”

“It must be humiliating,” Shining Armor said. He leaned down close to Sombra’s cock. “Loving how it feels to be made to scream and cry like this. You love me having so much control. You want me to tickle you more and more.”

“Ahahahahaha! Shhuhuhut up!”

That laugh brought such a genuine smile to Shining Armor’s face. He was enjoying himself almost as much as Sombra. The former king had to wonder if it was the power that entertained Shining Armor so much, or the fact that he was unleashing torment on Sombra specifically.

It was right as that thought crossed Sombra’s mind did it begin to feel like the belt’s vibrations changed again. A slow steady tingle that traveled along Sombra’s body like a snake leaving a trail of ticklish agony in its wake. It ran over his ribs and belly with more desperation to rip ticklish screams out of him than anything that had come before. His eyes shot wide open, and that was the only reaction he could give before letting out a squeal at the top of his lungs.

“AAAAHAHAHA NOHOHOH IT TICKLES TOHOHOHO MUCH!” Sombra squealed. He grabbed the belt and tugged, but it only seemed to worsen the feeling the more he fought.

It was at this point where Shining Armor’s verbal torment could no longer be heard above Sombra’s squeals of ticklish agony. Shining began to once more speak directly inside of Sombra’s head with his magic.

“Coochie coochie coo. Ticklish little Sombra. It won’t stop till you cum, I hope you know!”

“L-LEHEHEHET ME CUM, THEHEHEN!” Sombra cried out. “EHEHEHEEEE!”

“You gotta say it out loud, silly~” Shining Armor’s taunting voice continued. “Say you’re my little tickle toy! Tickle tickle tickle!”

“I-I’M AHAHAHA TICKLE TOY!” Sombra screamed. “I’M SHIHIHING ARMOR’S TOHOHOHOY!”

Shining Armor grinned. There was a flash behind his eyes that Sombra recgonized all too well as a pony who was close to mad with power. Sombra realized just how much control Shining Armor had over him in that moment. If he truly didn’t want to stop, then that meant Sombra couldn’t make him. He would simply laugh and squeal and scream here for hours without anypony finding them until Shining Armor grew bored.

“You’re lucky I’m so nice,” Shining Armor said. His tone was seductive enough to make Sombra shudder.

Not daring to turn down the intensity of the belt, Shining Armor opted instead to put both his hooves right up against the squirming stallion’s cock. Sombra, who was already laughing, let out a high pitched yelp. His cock was so close to cumming it had become near unbearably sensitive in a way that both overwhelmed yet excited Sombra.

Shining Armor put his mouth right over Sombra’s cockhead. As he pressed his tongue down to the very top Sombra couldn’t help but feel like the belt was stroking him with a million soft, fluffy feathers at once. They trailed over his body like skates along ice ripping laughter from him with their deadly soft touch. He arched his back and let out a sound that intermingled his moans and laughter into a cry unlike anything he had unleashed yet.

Sombra knew that he wasn’t going to last long once Shining Armor started using his mouth. He had been teased into an unbearably horny state since the moment he laid down on this hill. Right now he was like a bottle of soda that had been shaken, or in this case tickled, until he was ready to explode.

“Cum for me, my little tickle toy~” Shining Armor’s teasing returned. It whispered into Sombra’s ear, nearly hypnotizing the former king into complete submission.

“C-Cum… Hehehehe!” Sombra whined. “G-Gonna… C-Caaaaahhh!”

Before Sombra could get it out, it was already too late. All Shining Armor had to do was push his mouth down the length of his shaft and suddenly Sombra hit the point of no return. It felt like the world momentarily silenced as pleasure spiked. The sensation alone shattered his senses as he burst hot sticky seed into Shining Armor’s mouth. He let out a cry, and for a moment was unable to laugh due to the sheer intensity of the orgasm.

It wasn’t until Shining Armor’s lips left his still throbbing cock did Sombra realize the belt had been shut off. His body still tingled along its constraints, and the memory was enough to make Sombra shudder.

“Feeling better?” Shining Armor asked. He approached Sombra and laid down right beside him before nuzzling up close.

“I am,” Sombra said, putting on a smile just for Shining Armor.

“Good,” Shining said. “You certainly don’t look as tense anymore. You haven’t glared at me in like ten whole minutes.”

Sombra rectified this with a glance to Shining Armor who rolled his eyes and began to giggle himself.

————————————————

The two ponies took the long way back to the castle on the outskirts of the town, where they hardly ran into anypony. Sombra was mostly quiet as they journied back, but Shining Armor no longer felt worried about his friend’s wellbeing. Sombra’s tension truly had melted after their time together on the hill.

The guards greeted the two ponies warmly as they approached the entrance to the castle. By then twilight was setting in, and the sky was turning a hazy shade of orange and purple. It seems they had spent more time in the hills than Shining had thought. He could only feel glad that he got his duties done before his time with Sombra.

It wasn’t until the two were alone again deep in the halls of the castle did Shining Armor pause to notice the belt still on Sombra’s body. He chuckled to himself, which caused Sombra to pause and turn.

“What is it?” Sombra asked.

“Nothing,” Shining Armor said. “It’s just normally you ask to have that thing taken off the moment we get home.”

“I…!” Sombra was taken aback at this. He was forced to glance away with an annoyed expression on his face. He squirmed in place.

“I-I am your… tickle toy, after all,” Sombra said with a sheepish tone of voice. “I’m not the one who gets to decide when it comes off, am I?”

Shining Armor blinked. He hadn’t expected such a flirtatious response to the light jab. Though it took him aback, the white stallion was able to recover quickly by walking forward and lifting his tail to brush against the underside of Sombra’s chin. Sombra’s face was already flushed, but that touch alone made him shut his eyes firmly. This gave Shining Armor the perfect chance to use his magic and crank up the belt’s magical tickling by the tiniest bit. Even that was enough for Sombra to gasp, and for his eyes to snap open.

“Sh-Shining!” Sombra gasped.

“You should know flirting like that’ll get me in the mood,” Shining Armor said with a smile. “Better hurry to your room, Sombra. If you don’t some poor guard might find you collapsed giggling like a little foal somewhere!”

“Y-Youhohou’re so evil!” Sombra whined.

Shining Armor responded by upping the intensity a little bit more. This practically made Sombra squeal with fear and excitement alone. With a fully flushed face Sombra began to move with an awkward pace as he fought an oncoming giggle attack and hurried in the direction of his room.

“I’ll be right behind you,” Shining Armor called sweetly, only to hear a loud outburst that was too masked by a laugh to make out. It made the prince grin.

Was he a little mad with the power of the tickle belt? Perhaps. Though it seemed to Shining Armor that Sombra enjoyed a little madness with his tickling.

Shining Armor began to walk, slowly, down the hall where Sombra had just ran. Silently he hummed to himself and upped the intensity of the magic just a little bit more. Somewhere in the castle Sombra surely just bit back an unexpected squeal. He was going to have a fun night, it seemed.
