//-------------------------------------------------------// Sombra's Ticklish Experiences -by Storm Butt- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Feathery Fun //-------------------------------------------------------// Feathery Fun Royal Advisor Sombra made his way silently down the halls of the crystal castle, which were empty and barren of all life aside from himself. Even now after all of this time he still couldn’t help but recall when he had called these halls his own, and the kingdom his land. He stared at his own reflection in a window as he passed, scarcely recognizing the stallion he had once been. It felt like lifetimes upon lifetimes ago when burning rage and hatred still viciously flowed through his veins. That was an old life of his; one that he had worked tirelessly to redeem himself from. Sombra let out a sigh as he tore his eyes away from his reflection and stared down the vacant hallway. He felt smaller than usual. The royal guards were thinly spread throughout different wings of the castle, with many outside all together in preparation for upcoming events. It led to the usually lively and active home to become quiet and almost lonely. Each step he took echoed louder than usual, even as Sombra tried to lighten his step against the crystal flooring. “Nothing to do,” Sombra let out a weary sigh of boredom as he cast his eyes up and down the halls. There wasn’t much to advise right now, meaning Sombra was left to his own devices. He didn’t like when that was the case. Having nothing to keep his hooves busy usually meant too much thinking about the past, and his mistakes. He liked to keep himself occupied. Shining Armor and Cadance had both told him that he needed more time for himself, and that it was unhealthy for anypony to work as hard as he did. He usually scoffed at them, and told them that he knew his limits better than anypony else. Deep down, he knew they were right. He hated to admit it, though. Sombra stared mindlessly at a large crystal framed mural as he turned a corner. He had been lost in thought, and as such hadn’t seen the large pedestal he was about to ram into. He felt his body crash, and then heard himself gasp loudly in shock as he went tumbling down to the floor. Something crashed beside him, the pedestal most likely, and whatever had been atop of it clanged angrily down the hall. Sombra groaned as he sat up and shook his head. Despite knowing that he was alone his cheeks still flushed pink with embarrassment. “Lousy clutter,” Sombra grumbled with annoyance under his breath. Despite his reformity, his temper still had a way of making itself known. He shoved up the pedestal with his magic and looked down the hall for whatever had rolled away. He eventually spotted a golden royal guard helmet at least ten feet away. It shimmered brightly, catching a ray of sun from the open window and seemed to glimmer with pride. This was clearly no regular helmet, but a decorative one of sorts. At least a dozen feathers, some of the largest Sombra had ever seen, stuck out of the top. Sombra approached the helmet gingerly. He frowned as he picked it up by the golden edge. Some of the feathers had been a bit ruffled up and crumpled. He ran his hoof over them, trying his best to sort them out and return them to how they had looked before his embarrassing blunder. Only… Something happened that Sombra didn’t really expect. He sat himself down, not thinking much about it as he ran his hoof over the dozen or so feathers, and tried to concentrate. The graze of the soft feather bristles as they ran against his hooves caused Sombra’s chest to unexpectedly tighten. The stallion froze, a bit perplexed by the reaction bubbling up in his chest. “What the heck?” Sombra mumbled under his breath. It took Sombra a moment to realize that his own cheeks were growing warm at the simple touch of the feather. The soft and delicate bristles felt tender, and just grazing them over his leg causes his mind to wander and warmth to grow in his chest. He found himself sitting there in the hallway squirming as he mindlessly ran his hoof through the feathers. He silently shut his eyes and drug them against his face. He felt them tickle the underside of his chin and run down his neck, which caused a shiver to attack his whole body at once. He gasped and pulled the feathers away. His face was even redder than before. A strange thought crossed Sombra’s mind. He wanted to feel the feathers touch his body. The desire started out subtle but quickly grew as he imagined running the massive, fluffy feathers over other parts of his body. He imagined them stroking his belly and between his legs. He could only imagine how soft and wonderful they would feel grazing against such sensitive, vulnerable areas of his body. It wasn’t until he was forced to squeeze his own hind legs shut did he realize just how inappropriate this train of thought was to indulge in when simply standing out in the open. Still, despite the logical part of his mind asking him what on earth was wrong with him, he still couldn’t shake the thoughts. He put the helmet back a bit reluctantly and gave it a longing stare. It took him a moment to calm himself down enough to unclench his hind legs, and even then he could feel something bounce between his thighs. He was suddenly very, very glad that the castle was empty. It quickly became apparent to Sombra that he wasn’t going to be able to just wander the halls if his thoughts continued to act up like this. The thought of running into a guard and having to explain why he was half-erect in such a place flustered him just to think about. It seemed that no matter how hard he tried his thoughts just kept wandering back to those soft feathers. He couldn’t stop thinking about how wonderful they felt. “Dammit,” Sombra hissed, growing a bit annoyed now. He shifted back and forth. It seemed the only way he was going to be able to resume his stroll was if he relieved his sudden pent up desires. He was going to have to retreat to the safety of his room and deal with this problem. “Stupid,” Sombra hissed under his breath, a bit annoyed that he had been overpowered by the mere thought of feathers. He took off quickly, hoping that he would be fast enough to make it to his room before anypony else noticed him. In fact, the stallion was in such a rush that he hadn’t been able to notice the watchful eyes of a certain prince staring at him from the end of the hall. As soon as he left, Shining Armor stepped out and made his way over to the helmet which had been placed back in its rightful spot. He reached out a hoof and stroked one of the feathers. “Huh,” Shining Armor said. “Now THATS interesting.” —————————————————————————————————— Sombra entered his room in a huff, shutting the door behind him with a vicious swing of magic. His face was a hot red mess, despite the fact that he was lucky to have nopony spot him nor the problem between his legs in his search for privacy. The fact that he had to find someplace alone at all was humiliating enough. He felt much like a hormonal teenager, something he hadn’t felt like in an unspeakable amount of time. “Blast,” Sombra grumbled under his breath as he made his way over to his bed. He sat down at the end and spread his legs, staring down at his half-hard cock. He grabbed it by the midsection and hoisted it up. He stared for a moment. His original plan had been to relieve himself and go about his day, but he realized he wasn’t quite sure what to think about. After all, what aroused him had been… feathers? The soft touch of feathers? Just as Sombra was about to grumble something else under his breath he was interrupted by a loud knock on his door that caused him to jump. Before he had even a second to react he saw the knob turn. Panic struck him as he reached for the blanket and with force he didn’t know he possessed ripped it from its tucked bedding and cover his lap. He raised his eyes with fury, ill intent on shouting at the stupid pony who had dared come into his chamber without permission. “Who the hec-- ” Sombra found himself cut off as the familiar figure of Shining Armor stepped into the room. Very quickly his anger fizzled out and he was left with a heart pounding and flushed cheeks. “Oh, I thought I’d find you here, Sombra,” Shining Armor said. “Y-Your Majesty,” Sombra said, feeling panic strike him quickly. “What are you… I-Is there an emergency?” “Emergency?” Shining Armor asked. “No. Why?” “Well… Y-You just barged straight into my quarters!” Sombra said defensively. “I thought you’d want some privacy,” Shining Armor said, stepping closer. There was a devious smile on his face as he approached. “After all, don’t you have to deal with that little problem hidden under the blanket there?” Sombra felt his heart skip a beat. “What are you…” “I saw you, Sombra,” Shining Armor said in a teasing tone. He was grinning now as he got closer. “Had a little mishap with the decorative crystal kingdom helmet display?” Not for the first time, and certainly not the last, Shining Armor was able to catch Sombra entirely off guard. The once all powerful dictator of the crystal empire sat there, blushing, at a unicorn who compared to his own age was very young indeed. “Sir, I… I’m sorry for my inappropriate behavior. I know it’s not an excuse but I simply could not control myself.” Sombra said huffily, averting his eyes and frowning. “I just don’t know what came over me.” “Relax, Sombra,” Shining Armor said. He took a step forward, surprising Sombra with the smile and glimmer of a tease behind his eyes. He laid a hoof on the blanket right where Sombra’s leg was. Without missing a beat he continued to catch the already shocked stallion off guard by tugging at the blanket, and pulling it until only the corner covered Sombra’s crotch. The advisor grabbed it and felt himself blush. He became flustered. “What do you think you’re doing?” Sombra asked. “What’s wrong?” Shining Armor asked. “Nervous?” Sombra could feel himself grunt at that. A spark of agitation rose up within him. It was an old, bad habit of his that he had softened over the years but hadn’t entirely kicked. He had a tendency to get caught up in his pride. Shining Armor had a way of putting him in his place, which only made the now reformed Sombra more insistent on fighting back. Shining Armor’s horn began to glow. Sombra felt his eyes widen as it flashed, and suddenly there was a large feather hovering in front of his face. It was long, at least the length of Sombra’s forearm, with purple frilly ends. “Wh-Wha—” Sombra’s confusion was cut short as the feather moved in. It drug itself underneath Sombra’s chin against his neck in a sawing motion. A titillating sensation overwhelmed Sombra for a moment, which was just long enough to catch him off guard and for Shining to tug on the blanket one last time, revealing Sombra’s cock to the world. “Thought so,” Shining Armor said. “You’re still half hard. That’s a strong labido you got there.” “Y-Your majesty,” Sombra said softly before biting his lip. He hated knowing his cheeks were crimson red. He could feel his lips tug into a smile as a tickly sensation nearly overwhelmed him. He grabbed the sheets on either side of his body and dug in. Shining Armor made his move. Once Sombra made it clear he wasn’t going to fight back against Shining Armor’s advances the white unicorn climbed up onto the bed. He pushed Sombra back until the black stallion was lying with his belly facing the ceiling. “You love it, don’t you? You know I’ll go away if you just ask.” Shining Armor said, and then smirked. His eyes dared Sombra to do such a thing, and the black stallion could only huff in response. “You’re awful,” Sombra grumbled. “Ah ah ah!” Shining Armor said. “That’s no good.” The feather began to move as soon as Shining spoke. It drug itself down towards Sombra’s crotch. Soft, feathery bristles glided over the sensitive skin of his cock. A long line of feathery tickles that Shining Armor drug slowly danced down Sombra’s cock. He turned his head and stifled a giggle of his own. As the feather traveled down his shaft it hit his balls. “E-Ehehehe…” Sombra couldn’t stop himself from letting out a squeaking giggle of defeat. His face burned bright. To be pushed into such a humiliating corner from nothing more than the touch of one lousy feather? “Aww, ticklish?” Shining Armor asked. “Want me to stop?” As if threatening to do so, Shining Armor began to slow down the sway of his hoof that held the feather. Sombra felt a brief flash of panic spark in his mind. He glared down at Shining Armor, feeling a bit of his old power come into his tone. “Don’t you dare slow down,” Sombra said. Actually, he sounded a bit more like he was ordering it. “What’s that?” Shining Armor asked. “What did we teach you about ordering others around, Sombra? I thought you got over that a long time ago.” There was a stern tone in Shining Armor’s voice, but as soon as he finished speaking he broke out into a smile and a sly smirk. He was mocking Sombra now, which only made the stallion blush. He had half a mind to snap at the prince, if not for the threat of that feather being taken away. He laid there, squirming, and eventually shut his eyes. “I-I’m sorry,” Sombra said sheepishly. “Please keep… K-Keep brushing me with that feather.” “That’s more like it,” Shining cooed, and began to resume his brushing. Sombra could feel his whole body tingle. He gasped, and felt his back arch in response. He turned his head and focused on the gliding, soft sting of tickles tracing over his balls. He started to giggle again and this time couldn’t keep it contained behind gritted teeth. “A-Ahahaha! Nohohot there! Ehehehe!” Sombra practically squealed in response. He wanted to squirm away but didn’t dare allow his body to move. He raised both of his forelegs and covered his face with them. He bit his lip, hard, and did his best to remain calm as his body trembled. Shining Armor leaned down, allowing his magic to take control of the feather’s course. He laid down on Sombra’s chest and peered down at him with that confident and cocky gaze. Sombra still hated how easy it was for the stallion to make him blush. Now coupled with the fact that he was giggling helplessly made it so the smile felt twice as powerful. All he could do was writhe and squirm and laugh helplessly. “Kitchy kitchy coo,” Shining Armor teased, wrapping the long feather in a spiral going up Sombra’s cock. He drug on it, allowing the strands of soft feather to graze on every inch of Sombra’s sensitive and ticklish cock. “Y’know, I could add so many more feathers. All you have to do is ask.” That bastard. Sombra wanted to scream with annoyance, but he bit it back. He knew he would only sound silly trying to bark while giggling helplessly. “M-More,” Sombra managed to spit out despite his embarrassment beginning to take hold. “What was that?” Shining Armor asked, raising one of his brows. Sombra was almost positive the stallion heard him, and was just trying to further push him into a corner of submissiveness. “I-I said more!” Sombra snapped. “Are you deaf? A-Ahahaha!” “I’ll forgive you snapping at me this once,” Shining Armor said. He reached up his hoof and lightly tapped the black stallion at the end of his nose. “Only cause I think what’s coming up next is punishment enough.” Sombra barely had a chance to so much as blink before he felt Shining Armor’s magic take hold of his body. He let out a gasp as he was suddenly rolled over onto his belly away from Shining Armor. The feather unraveled from his cock and was pulled away as he was suddenly forced over onto his belly. Just as he looked over his shoulder he could feel the magical grasp of a hand grab the base of his tail and lift it upward, revealing his bare bottom to the world. The fact that it was usually kept below his large, fluffy tail meant that having it so exposed now caused the stallion to blush. “Your Majesty,” Sombra said, gazing over at his prince. “What do you intend to do?” “What’s the fun in telling you?” Shining Armor asked as he slid off the bed and walked over to where Sombra’s hind legs were spread and his butt was in full view. The black stallion squirmed at Shining’s lingering gaze alone, and it only made him realize his balls were also visible and hanging out freely. The only thing hidden was his cock, which pressed down to the silky soft sheets of the bed. Shining Armor’s horn glowed once more. A large feather duster with brown and silver feathers appeared in the air. The feathers were all massive and fluffy. When it pointed in Sombra’s direction a void of feathers greeted him. There had to be at least fifty of them in there. Instantly Sombra’s cheeks flared up and his body tensed. “Oh, Sombra,” Shining Armor said as he approached Sombra’s bare bottom. He waved the duster threateningly, causing the black stallion’s heart rate to skyrocket. “What a large, soft looking butt you have. I wonder how cute that laugh of yours will sound if I just…” Shining Armor lowered the duster without further warning. It wasn’t the touch alone that caused Sombra to suddenly need to bite his lip, but the sudden stroking when the prince began to drag the duster all around his bare exposed butt and balls. “E-Ehehehe!” Sombra whined helplessly. He covered his muzzle with both hooves, whimpering and whining as he squirmed. He instinctively tried to close his legs and free himself from the tickling torment, but Shining had seen to it that the task was near impossible. He restricted Sombra’s hind legs far apart with magical bands that would only break when Shining permitted it, leaving Sombra unable to defend himself in the slightest. The feathers grazed flawlessly over his smooth bottom. Each stroke sent electric pricks of ticklish pleasure throughout Sombra’s body, causing him to burst out in a sudden giggle whenever a feather or two happened to graze against a patictuarly sensitive spot, which his butt seemed properly stock full of. All he could do was bury his face in his hooves and whimper with ticklish glee. “Such a cute butt,” Shining Armor said. He lowered himself down on the bed between Sombra’s spread legs. Now the feathers were focusing on one of his cheeks and the inside of one of his thighs. This caused Sombra to burst out laughing and even squeal some. He didn’t realize Shining Armor was getting closer until he could feel the hot breath run down his non tormented cheek. The last thing Sombra expected to feel happened. He felt teeth sink into his butt. Shining Armor had bit him! “Ahh!” Sombra let out a helpless gasp before devolving into a new batch of giggles he had been desperately trying to hold back. He let out a high-pitched yelp each time Shining Armor’s teeth put the least bit of pressure down. Between the light stroking torment of the feathers and the sudden pinch of teeth poor Sombra had no idea how to react. He was caught between yelping and squealing with laughter, leading to his cries being a mix of the two. “A-Ah! Ehehehe! Ahhh! N-Nohohot there! Ahhh!” Soon Shining had sunk his teeth into every part of Sombra’s meaty and sensitive cheek. It was never enough to leave more than a light imprint that would fade quickly, but it always caught Sombra off guard. His body was on such high alert from the nonstop stroking of feathers that any touch seemed to make him fly through the roof with intensity. “You’ve been an awfully good boy,” Shining Armor said when he finally grew tired of nibbling on Sombra. He pulled the duster away, allowing Sombra a moment to catch his breath as he prepared for whatever sort of torment might come next. He looked over his shoulder to see Shining Armor. “Your Majesty,” Sombra said, softly. “Does tickling me… p-please you?” Sombra didn’t know why he was stuttering. Why did this of all things embarrass him so much? Shining had teased him before but it had never made Sombra feel quite so flustered and sheepish as this had. All he could do was lay there and squirm as he sat under Shining Armor’s watchful gaze. “Does it please me?” Shining Armor asked. He climbed closer to Sombra, and soon the black stallion felt something warm and hard press right up to his butt in the center where his two cheeks met. It was long and hard. Sombra knew immediately that it was Shining Armor’s cock, fully erect and gliding up and down his cheeks. “Does this answer you?” “Y-Yes,” Sombra said, softer than before. He could not for the lift of him stop tripping over his words. Shining Armor had really pushed him to the edge of his embarrassment. “You enjoy making your prince happy, don’t you?” Shining Armor asked. Sombra shut his eyes and bit down a flustered, snappy response. “Yes…” Sombra spoke. “Then you’d best roll over,” Shining said. “If you want to make me happy, that is.” Sombra let out a heavy breath and then nodded his head. He did as Shining Armor asked of him, and rolled over. He was on his back once more, with legs spread and cock pointed straight up. It hadn’t softened in the slightest. He looked down, and saw Shining Armor’s cock as well. It was also rock solid. Sombra gulped at the sight of it, and wondered what fate await him now. “You’re such a good little tickle toy,” Shining Armor said. He reached out a hoof and began to rub Sombra’s belly in small circles. Sombra felt his lower jaw tremble so he bit down and glanced away. He was still blushing. “Do you want more?” “Yes,” Sombra said. He spat out of the word so not to risk stuttering once more. “I can make you lose it,” Shining Armor said with a devious grin. “You’ll have to give me full control, though.” “Full control?” Sombra asked hesitantly. “What do you mean?” “It means,” Shining Armor said. “You’re gonna feel those tickly feathers on every inch of your body. But, I’ll need to bind you a bit so you don’t do anything naughty like try to get away. Is that alright with you?” Sombra could feel the desire to squirm rise up. He forced himself to kick it down and simply gave a curt nod of his head. He didn’t dare speak in case he found a way to embarrass himself even more. All he knew was that Shining was right, and he definitely wanted more. Part of him was convinced he would let Shining Armor do just about anything if it meant more tickling. “Alright,” Shining Armor said, grinning wider now. “You asked for it.” Sombra had hardly a moment to prepare himself before Shining Armor’s horn began to glow once again. Sombra felt the familiar embrace of magic take control over his entire body. He gasped as he was lifted up into the air. He went up and up until he was at least a good five feet off of the bed. He stared down at Shining Armor helplessly, knowing that his entire body was on display. There wasn’t an inch of him he could possibly hope to protect while trapped in Shining’s magic like this. “What now?” Sombra asked. He was almost afraid to know the answer. “Now,” Shining Armor said, grinning. “I get to have some fun.” Shining Armor’s horn flashed. In an instant Sombra was blinded. When he was able to open his eyes again he gasped loudly. Suddenly he couldn’t see Shining Armor. In fact, he couldn’t see much of below him. Just underneath him a feather duster nearly the size of the bed itself had appeared. Massive, navy blue feathers all opened up underneath his dangling body. Sombra stared down with wide eyes. The feathers all danced and waved, controlled by a hungry sort of magic that made them seem alive. Sombra pulled away one of his hooves that was close enough for a feather to reach up and lick, but not before he felt the gentle soft touch of its graze and let out a giggling reaction. “Th-This is insane,” Sombra said. “Do you not want it?” Shining Armor asked somewhere below the duster. Sombra bit down hard on his lip. He hated Shining Armor so much right now. “I… I want it,” Sombra said. “Good,” Shining Armor replied. “Cause you’re totally doomed.” With that, Sombra felt himself drop. Not too far, obviously. The magic caught him again once he was thrust into the embrace of the massive duster. He felt his eyes widen, and knew instantly that Shining Armor was not over exaggerating in the least when he said he would be doomed. Before he even had a chance to fully process just how bad this was for him, he started to laugh. “B-Bahahaha! Eehehehee! Nohohooooo!” Despite Sombra’s giggly pleas the feathers continued to attack. He was right to assume that they moved like magic, because as soon as they were dancing across his belly it became clear to him that they were being controlled. Feathers began to twist around his legs and his midsection wrapping his body tightly and then dragging themselves so the poor unicorn would be forced to feel each and every bristle touch his sensitive flesh. They ran up and down his belly, reaching all the way up to his neck. There was hardly an inch on him below his neck that wasn’t being attacked by the vicious and deadly feathers. “You like it up there?” Shining Armor asked. The unicorn was now lounging on Sombra’s bed. He stared up with a satisfied and giddy sort of smile. “You look adorable squirming and giggling.” “Sh-Shuhuhut up!” Sombra snapped. “A-Ahahaha! Nohohot there! Eeeeheheee!” “Yehehehes there!” Shining Armor said back, teasing Sombra further. Sombra felt the feathers grow more feisty. They tightened their grip on his limbs, restraining him even further. He could feel several feather tips all glide and poke his helpless belly as even more feathers moved down to stroke and prod at his cock and balls. When he felt a few of them begin to run up and down his butt he really started to lose it. His giggling quickly devolved into squeals. He tried to kick but the feathers had found a way to restrain him, leaving him entirely exposed. As the feathers continued to saw up and down his butt he felt a few grab hold of his cock. It felt much like feathery fingers, each trying to stroke him all while tickling him senseless. Each little lick and touch of those damn feathers on his sensitive cock made the once great Sombra want to cry with pleasure. Electric-like stings of ticklish pleasure went up his entire body. His cock ached, beginning to wet the feathers stroking him with his excessive amount of pre-cum. “Ahhh! Ahhhahahaha! Ahhh!” “It feels good, doesn’t it?” Shining Armor asked. “Ahh! Y-Yehehes!” Sombra cried out. “You love it, don’t you?” “I dohohooo!” Sombra whined. He was helpless to do anything but agree with Shining Armor. “I-I lohohove being tickled! I love the feathers! Ahahaha! Plehehese don’t stop!” “Didn’t plan on it, silly,” Shining Armor said. It was becoming clear to Sombra that he was perhaps drunk on the ticklish sensations. It was actually becoming a bit difficult to think at all what with him mind so enraptured by the feathers. All he could think of was how much it tickled, and how much his body responded with delightful waves of pleasure. No matter how much he tugged and squirmed the feathers simply continued. It was beginning to feel like he was cocooned in a tomb of feathers that ran over every inch of him. It didn’t matter if they knew his ticklish spots or not, because there were just so many that they were bound to trigger them. “Ahhh! Ahhh!” Sombra began to gasp and whine louder as the feathers squeezed and wrapped around his member. His laughter died down, and more moaning began to pour from his mouth. He was practically dazed from the overwhelming pleasure of the tickle torture that he hadn’t allowed himself to realize just how close the feathers alone had brought him to orgasm. Right now his legs were trembling. His cock was practically spouting cum. Soon his laughter became entirely dominated by loud, lustful moans. “Ahh! C-Can’t take it! E-Ehehehe! Your Majesty I’m gohohona…!” Sombra couldn’t get one more word out before he felt the point of no return hit him full force. He tried to clamp his mouth shut, but the feathers seemed to only get more intense as he was cumming. He burst out laughing as shot after shot of thick, sticky seed burst from his cock. For a moment he was overwhelmed with pleasure. The sensation of soft feathers traveling up and down his shaft and butt was a heaven he didn’t want to end. As soon as the orgasm passed the lightest touch of a feather on his sensitive cock made him whimper helplessly. “That’s a good boy,” Shining Armor said as he unwrapped Sombra’s limbs and lowered both himself and the massive duster to the bed. Sombra collapsed on top of it, burying himself in the bed of massive feathers. He looked up wearily at Shining Armor and smiled. “Thank you,” Sombra said softly. He knew he was blushing, but for the moment he didn’t care. He was far too happy, and exhausted, to bother himself with sheepishness. He did however shut his eyes, only to fling them open when he felt the soft touch of Shining Armor’s lips press down against his own. Shining Armor chuckled as he pulled away. “Wanna do this again sometime?” Shining Armor asked. “I mean… o-only if you want,” Sombra said. “I don’t think I’M the one who just came from a bunch of feathers, now am I?” Shining threw back with a teasing grin before sticking out his tongue. He looked immature, not much like a prince nor somebody Sombra would have respected at all during his time of rule. Yet still, that face made Sombra’s heart melt. He realized that he would have given just about anything to make Shining Armor happy in that moment. “Fine,” Sombra said. “You’re right. I’m the one who wants it again.” “I know,” Shining Armor said before leaning down and pecking Sombra’s cheek. “I just wanted to hear you say it.” “You’re pushing your luck, your Majesty,” Sombra said with a glare directed at his ruler. “If I didn’t know any better I’d say you enjoy tormenting me a bit too much.” “So what if I do?” Shining Armor asked. “I highly doubt somebody who loves it as much as you clearly do will stop me. Am I wrong?” Sombra rolled his eyes and grumbled under his breath. He was far too tired to argue any further. He sat up and grabbed Shining Armor with both forelegs and pulled him close with an impressive display of strength. Shining gasped with surprise as he was pulled into the mess of feathers and forcibly held close to Sombra. “S-Sombra,” Shining said. For the first time he was the one to sound flustered. “I’m tired,” Sombra said. “Let’s just lay here for a bit.” Shining Armor loosened up a bit before giggling and set his head against Sombra’s fluffy chest. The prince curled up close to the black stallion, and suddenly Sombra felt at peace. He let out a resigned sigh and held Shining close to his chest before lying down his own head as well. “Later,” Sombra said, smiling to himself as he spoke. “I’ll be sure to give you some payback for all that teasing.” “I’ll look forward to it,” Shining Armor responded. “Sounds like a date.” With that, the two stallions settled down. Both of them shut their eyes, and for just a little while began enjoying the warmth of each other’s embrace. //-------------------------------------------------------// Tickle Belt //-------------------------------------------------------// Author's Note Yes this is 100% a reference to the SpongeBob episode 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. //-------------------------------------------------------// Soft Sensations //-------------------------------------------------------// Soft Sensations Sombra couldn’t help but wonder if he had gone too far and let himself get carried away. From the moment one of the royal guards had informed him they ‘finished delivering what he requested’ his heart had been irregularly beating. Entering his room and seeing half a dozen boxes scatter the floor did little to sooth him, even as he made sure to firmly press the door behind him shut. He let out a long winded sigh, and felt a swell of both nerves and excitement flood his chest. It had been a few weeks since the evening he and Shining Armor had spent together. Sombra had been unable to stop thinking about it for what felt like just about every waking moment. When he went to bed at night his mind would swim with thoughts of their time together. The sensation of feathers exploring every inch of his body as Shining Armor stood over him was a memory that was very, very difficult to forget. Often Sombra had to relieve himself if he wished to get to sleep, as his body’s excitement at the memory was too distracting. It had gotten harder and harder for the former King to control both himself and his thoughts. He found them slipping more and more into his everyday life. Passing the halls where he would see some armor decorated with massive feathers caused his thoughts to spiral and make him lose track of whatever he had been doing prior. It had gotten to the point where Sombra shamefully went to the only pony he could talk to, Shining Armor, to try and request help with what he should do. Shining Armor’s advice had been simple. Indulge. What good was there tormenting himself when he could simply relieve what had been plaguing his mind for weeks. The prince had been more than understanding of Sombra’s plight, and today the boxes lining up Sombra’s room were all courtesy of the kind white stallion. Sombra moved away from the door and toward one of the closest boxes. He ripped open the tape with his magic only to find his breath caught in his throat when he saw what was inside. Pink feathers popped out of the box the moment it was opened, as if the tiny cardboard simply wasn’t enough to contain the boisterous volume of feathers. Gingerly the stallion used his magic to lift the item out from it’s box, revealing a long snake-like string of feathers that stretched on for several feet. A feather boa. Sombra felt his cheeks flush, and knew they were likely the same color as the bright pink feathers of his newest gift. He couldn’t help but look around before settling the boa around his neck and wrapping it gently. It draped long, and drug on the floor. Sombra continued to blush as he swayed side to side, and began feeling the soft feathers press up to his neck. They were soft to the touch, far more than Sombra thought possible. He ran his hoof delicately over a section and felt a shudder run up his spine. “The prince is trying to kill me,” Sombra muttered under his breath. As embarrassing as this newfound interest was for Sombra, he was long past the point of denying to himself the pleasure. He wandered over toward his bed and sat himself down. The boa draped down his body and twisted around one of his hind legs. As he moved it ran slowly down between his legs, brushing up against his crotch and causing his already flushed face to darken in color. Sombra bit his lip gently as he squirmed on the bed. It was difficult to resist the urges that grew within him. He laid on his back and felt the boa as it ran down his body from his neck all the way past his hind legs. It lingered on his belly. He gave it the slightest tug and felt his body tremble as dozens upon dozens of feathers ran along his body. A tingly sensation began to stir between his legs, and before he knew it the stallion found himself growing erect. “Dammit,” Sombra hissed under his breath. This reaction was expected, but he had hoped he had SOME self control in commanding his urges. He had only just barely begun to explore what Shining Armor had delivered to his room and already he was turning into a mess of horniness. His mind began to swim with naughty thoughts as he continued to run the boa up and down between his legs. He squeezed his hind legs together, and pulled to feel the feathers graze against his hardening cock. “Nnngh,” Sombra whined softly. As soft and wonderful as the feathers felt grazing the most sensitive parts of his body, Sombra couldn’t help but crave more. What he fantasized about, truly, was the touch of another doing this to him. He closed his eyes, and tried to remember how it had felt when Shining Armor had teased and tormented him. Sombra rolled over onto his belly and used his magic to pull the boa back and forth across his body. “Shining…” Sombra whined as he lowered his hoof and began to rub his quickly stiffening member. It was right then that Sombra was interrupted by a loud, thundering knock upon his door. He was so surprised that in reaction he let out a yelp far more high pitched than he would ever care to admit. He rolled over in a panic, and stared down at the state he was in. His cock was currently wrapped in the boa, with feathers traveling halfway up. He whined as he tried to rip it away and cover himself. “Wh-Who is it?” Sombra called. “Give me a moment!” “It’s just me!” A familiar voice on the other side of the door called. Shining Armor. Speak of the devil. Sombra quickly grabbed a nearby pillow to cover up his embarrassment and tossed the boa aside. He supposed he didn’t exactly have much of a choice. “Alright, come in!” Sombra said. The door cracked open, and the very first thing that Sombra saw was a devious smirk on Shining Armor’s face as he slipped in. He was wearing a big, toothy grin that only prolonged the blush that Sombra knew he was wearing. He turned his head away, knowing it was fruitless to try and hide his sheepishness from the prince. “Looks like the guards were telling the truth,” Shining Armor said as his eyes scanned the boxes before him, examining each and every one of them. He got up to the box that was open, and then raised his eyes to the bed where he spotted the boa. Out of the corner of his eye Sombra saw it begin to glow with a blue aura of magic. What he didn’t expect was to feel it brush up against his cheek and begin to wrap around his neck. “I can’t believe you started the fun without me!” “I’m sorry,” Sombra said, glancing down. It was impossible to keep himself still as the boa continued to brush up against his body. “I was just teasing,” Shining said with a giggle. Shining approached Sombra’s bed with a smile on his face. The prince had a way of commanding Sombra’s emotions while hardly raising a hoof. He got up to the bed and put one hoof on either side of Sombra’s body before raising himself up on his hind legs so he could stare the stallion in the eye. He grabbed one end of the boa with his hoof and tugged gently. Sombra felt it tighten around his neck, much like a leash. His heart began to race. “What’s under the pillow?” Shining Armor asked, raising his brow. “I… Y-You know very well what it is!” Sombra said with a bit of annoyance in his tone. “Did somebody get excited before I even had a chance to get here?” Shining Armor asked with another teasing chuckle. Sombra practically had to bite his tongue to resist the urge to let out a whine. He was going to be driven insane with teasing today, he could feel it. “How about you let me help out a little bit.” “Oh, I’m very sure you plan to help,” Sombra said with a roll of his eyes. “Help drive me insane with your torment, more like it.” “Isn’t that what you want?” Shining asked. The white surprised Sombra by leaning forward and pushing hard. Sombra gasped as he was forced onto his back and felt Shining Armor topple over with him. The stallion was rather assertive today, and for once Sombra saw a bit of what made him once a captain of the royal guards. “Well?” Shining Armor asked, tugging on the boa again. “Y-Yes,” Sombra said, turning his head. “You know very well it is.” “I know,” Shining Armor said. “I just like making you squirm.” Before Sombra could allow himself to become flustered he was distracted by the sight of Shining Armor’s horn glowing. The pillow that was between the two of them and covering up Sombra’s crotch was quickly torn away. “Hey!” Sombra snapped. “It was in the way,” Shining Armor said. “Don’t worry, I’ll cover you up with something way more fun.” “Don’t you dare…” Sombra began. “I dare,” Shining Armor said with a grin. The prince’s horn continued to glow, and Sombra felt the boa around his neck begin to unravel. He had almost no time to prepare before it slid down his body and began to twist its way around his cock. On instinct Sombra bit his lip, but not before a burst of giggles managed to escape. “A-Ahaha pppfffffftttt!” “Oh, so sensitive,” Shining Armor teased. “You got yourself all worked up. That deserves some real tickly punishment!” “Sh-Shining,” Sombra whimpered helplessly as his body squirmed against his will. It wasn’t until he tried to do so that he realized his front legs had been bound to his sides. He glanced down, and saw magical strands of rope-magic binding him up in a net pattern. “Is this necessary?” “Hey, I don’t wanna lose an eye from a stray kick,” Shining said with a grin. “Besides, it makes it way easier to do THIS!” Shining Armor attacked Sombra without warning. Not only did he begin to slither the fluffy boa in a spiral around his cock, but he also threw his face down upon Sombra’s soft fluffy belly and blew the loudest raspberry Sombra had heard in his life. There was no way Sombra stood a chance of holding that back. “Nohohohoho fahahair!” Sombra whined helplessly through his laughter. “E-Ehehehe! Stohohop it stohohop it that tickles!” Shining Armor had gone from blowing raspberries on Sombra’s belly to instead dragging his tongue upward in a slow, and sensual stroke. This combined with the stimulating torment of the spiraling boa sent the poor advisor into hysteria. He started to squeal and kick his hind legs the best he could, but Shining was holding them apart for full access to both his cock and belly. “You’re so cute when you giggle,” Shining said with a grin when he finally lifted up his head from Sombra’s belly. “What’s that blush for?” “It’s not a blush!” Sombra snapped. “You’re just giving me a complete workout! Of course my face is red!” “Uh-huh,” Shining Armor replied before rolling his eyes. “I’ll teach you what I do to liars, Sombra.” Shining Armor pulled away from Sombra’s body, and with it he yanked away the feather boa. Sombra bit his lip as it unwound itself from his cock, stroking with it’s soft path the whole way. Once It was free Sombra had to resist the urge to whine at his needy cock not getting enough attention. Shining moved to one of the other boxes Sombra had nearly forgotten about. He ripped it open and dug his hoof around inside. Sombra couldn’t make out the contents, but he saw a wide grin appear on Shining Armor’s face. “What?” Sombra asked. “What is it?” “You’ll see,” Shining said before chuckling. He turned his back to Sombra and drug the box in front of him. He then began to fiddle with something that Sombra couldn’t make out. It wasn’t until Shining Armor kicked the box aside and got up to his hooves did Sombra see the newest tool. Long stockings with soft tufts of fur were covering Shining Armor’s front legs. They were bright blue, and were so fluffy they swayed a bit when he walked forward. “What in Equestria…” Shining Armor didn’t let Sombra finish before he got up to the bed and settled both of his fluffy forelegs down against Sombra’s spread inner thighs. Sombra felt his eyes widen. All it took was Shining moving his arms an inch up and down in a slow, methodical rhythm to make the former king feel giggles bubble up within. “Oh, oh gosh,” Sombra gasped. He tugged at his bound arms and arched his back. The stockings were somehow even softer than they looked. Softer than a well groomed pegasus' feathers. They grinded so tauntingly close to his cock. Sombra knew he was done for when he was forced to take a gasping breath of air and was unable to control his giggling. “A-Ahahaha! Eheheheeeee!” “You like them?” Shining Armor asked. He climbed up onto the bed and ran his hooves up Sombra’s body, dragging the soft stockings against Sombra’s sides. Shining Armor got down until he was lying on Sombra’s chest. His stocking covered hooves were on either of Sombra’s sides against his ribs and gliding up and down now. Shining was practically cuddling him. “A-Ahahahaa my rihihhihiiibs!” Sombra whined. “N-Nohohohoooo!” “You’re so cute when you whine like that,” Shining Armor said. “I almost forgot just how soft and ticklish the fearful king was!” “A-Ahahaha! Shhuhut up!” Sombra whined. “You are in NO position to be making demands,” Shining Armor said, and smiled. “Squirmy little king! I could sit here all day just grinding and cuddling you!” “Mmmmphphpp!” Sombra was helpless to do anything but whine and whimper at Shining Armor’s endless torment. Just when he thought it couldn’t possibly get any worse he happened to glance upward, and noticed that a massive feather was dangling just above his head. Sombra’s eyes widened in shock only for Shining to grin. The feather lowered to Sombra’s neck where it draped. The thing was massive, perhaps the length of Sombra’s entire body. The strands of feather were several inches in length, and ran up under his chin all the way down to his collarbone. Sombra bit his lip and whimpered softly. He felt the feather slither down his neck and against his sides around Shining’s fluffy stockings. It ran lower and lower until it was pressing up to his flank and trying to work itself up against his inner thigh. Sombra turned his head, but could not ignore the tickly feeling of the soft feather as it ran up his leg. He giggled helplessly as Shining continued to straddle him. He was made all the more flustered by the fact that his cock was hard, and pressing itself right into Shining Armor’s belly. Somehow the fact that Shining had yet to acknowledge it made it even more embarrassing. “Ahhh… Nnnngh… Mhmhmm, Shining,” Sombra gasped softly. “Poor little you,” Shining Armor taunted with a giggle before rolling his eyes. “You love it, don’t you? You love being my little tickle toy!” “Dammit,” Sombra hissed. He shut his eyes and turned his head, only to fall back into a pit of giggling as the feather slithered closer and closer to his cock and balls. He let out a squeaky gasp and kicked out one of his legs helplessly as he felt the long strands magically brush up to his balls. “I-I do! I love it when you tickle me!” “So cute when you admit it,” Shining Armor said with a loving sounding sigh. He pulled himself back so he was sitting on Sombra’s lower half. The stallion’s long hard cock was pressing right up to Shining Armor’s bottom. Sombra however was much more occupied by the sight of Shining’s own member poking out and draping over his belly already half hard. The feather still wrapped around his balls, keeping him from sitting entirely still. Shining Armor glanced over his shoulder and lifted up the third box with his magic. It levitated over toward the two of them, already being ripped open before it reached them. Shining put his hoof inside and moments later pulled out a large wand-looking device. Sombra must have been staring with a wide eyed awe because when the prince looked down he was smiling. “What in Equestria is THAT thing?” Sombra asked. “This here?” Shining Armor asked, rolling the long looking wand between his two hands. “Just a little toy I had specifically made to hear you squeal.” Shining Armor raised his other hoof and pressed a switch that resided on the middle of the wand. Suddenly, the white head began to let out a loud buzzing sound. It was about the size of a baseball, and the more violently it vibrated the more uncomfortable Sombra became. He began to squirm, though it was pretty useless given Shining Armor was still sitting on top of him. When Shining Armor turned the wand over and held the buzzing end overtop of Sombra’s exposed belly the former king bit his lip and sucked in, much to Shining Armor’s amusement. The moment the wand pressed down to the center of his belly and on top of his belly button, Sombra lost it. The soft sensation of tickly feathers and stockings was one thing, but this was on an entirely new level. The head of the wand buzzed and sent ripples of ticklish torment throughout Sombra’s entire belly. When he tried in desperation to suck his belly in Shining Armor only pressed down harder. “A-Ahahahaha! Nohohohoooo it’s tohohohooo much!” “Too much?” Shining Armor asked and raised one of his brows. “C’mon, a big strong guy like you can handle a little more!” “Nohohohoooo! EEEEEHEHEEEEE NOT THEEEEHEHEHEHHEEERE!” Sombra felt instinct kick in as he flailed helplessly. With his front legs bound all he could do was shake his head and wave his spread hind legs. He must have looked silly, but right now the buzzing wand was causing him such panic that he didn’t even have the headspace to care how he looked. All he felt was the wand dragging itself up his belly and pressing to the bottoms of his ribs where it proceeded to drag left and right along his body. Sombra squealed like a filly, growing louder and more hysterical. Shining was being ruthless. All while this was happening Sombra was more than aware how aroused he had become. His cock still pressed up to Shining Armor’s backside, and all his squirming only caused it to receive more stimulation. Shining Armor’s back must have been soaked with his pre by now. Shining Armor finally pulled the wand away after he had run over Sombra’s ribs enough to make the former king’s voice grow hoarse. He lay there with his head turned to the side, unable to do much more than pant. “Y-You’re evil,” Sombra gasped out. “Truly, truly evil…” “That’s rich from you,” Shining Armor said. “But really, how evil could I be when you’re THIS happy about the torment?” Shining reached a hoof behind and grabbed Sombra’s cock. Sombra bit his lip, and shut his eyes tightly. He heard Shining Armor’s teasing giggle and felt his face turn a light shade of pink. Slowly, Shining Armor slid off of Sombra’s body and left his legs spread and exposed. He crawled down to the end of the bed and snatched up the wand once more with his hoof. “Now what?” Sombra asked, practically unable to put on a brave face. “Now I’m gonna make you feel good,” Shining Armor said with a smile. He reached out his free hoof and grabbed Sombra’s cock. Then, he turned on the buzzing wand once more. Sombra’s eyes widened, and then promptly slammed shut the moment the head of the wand touched down to his cock. He let out a gasp unlike anything he had ever released and felt himself involuntarily tug at his magical bindings. “O-Oh gosh!” Sombra cried out as the buzzing, tingling sensation shot up through his cock. He threw his head back and found himself gasping and crying out. Though he tried to force his mouth shut, Shining Armor’s insistence on dragging the wand head up and down made it impossible for Sombra to keep silent. The burning pleasure was running up through Sombra’s entire body. He was practically humping the air. All of the feathery, tickly touches that had molested his entire body had made him near inconceivably horny. He was so pent up he was shocked that a minute of the wand buzzing over his needy cock didn’t make him blow. Shining Armor, however, seemed very aware of Sombra’s limit. He pulled the wand away just a few moments before Sombra might have hit his point of no return. The former king bit his lip hard, and whimpered as the sensation of relief faded and left him stiff and needy. “Wh-Why?” Sombra nearly whimpered. “We’re not gonna end it yet, silly,” Shining Armor said with a dastardly roll of his eyes. “After all, we still have more boxes to open.” Sombra felt his body tingle at the mention of that. Though what REALLY made him tremble with fear was the sight of Shining Armor lifting up the wand once more and lowering it until it was between Sombra’s legs right under his balls. “A-Ahahaha! Eehehehee stop that! E-Eheheheeee!” “I’m just making sure the little king won’t get bored while I decide how to torment him next,” Shining Armor said with a teasing tone. He turned his head away, and let his magic press and run the wand against Sombra’s sensitive taint. The poor black stallion was left a giggling mess, unable to do anything but writhe side to side in his bindings. He could see just out of the corner of his eye that Shining was taking his sweet time in picking up one of the final few boxes and opening it by hoof instead of magic. “Holding up there, buddy?” Shining Armor called, raising the vibrating wand until it was touching Sombra’s hanging balls. This unleashed a new volume of laughter that Sombra didn’t know he had within him. “EEEEHEHEHEEE STOHOHOOOP!” Shining of course ignored Sombra’s pleas and simply walked back over to the bed. Sombra was too busy flailing and attempting to get his cock and balls far away from that wand to notice what he had pulled out of the box. He only felt relief when Shining Armor snatched up the wand and finally pulled it away from his balls, which still felt tingly seconds after the vibrating toy had been removed. “Having fun?” Shining Armor asked. “Y-You’re evil,” Sombra snapped. “So, so evil.” “I’ll take that as a yes,” Shining Armor giggled before putting his hoof up to Sombra’s cock where he proceeded to start stroking again. “You know, you’re so adorable when you let me take control. Not so big and tough when I let these feathers run allll over your cute little body, huh?” Shining Armor put his hoof into the box, and pulled out a long wooden handle followed by a poofy, large assortment of feathers. A feather duster. Sombra stared for a moment before realizing just how off the duster looked. The feathers were swaying back and forth in random directions in a way that reminded Sombra much more of a sea anemone than anything else. He blinked, and realized that the feathers were glistening with a faint aura of magic. “Is that thing… enchanted?” Sombra asked. “Good eye,” Shining Armor said before turning the duster over in his hoof. “I enchanted it myself, actually. Now each and every feather on this duster is a wiggly little beast hell bent on tickling whatever soft kingly flesh I let in sight.” “Just where do these depraved ways of torment come from?” Sombra groaned, turning his head away as his cheeks began to blush. The longer he stared at the wiggly dancing feathers the more excited he became. He wanted to feel them on his body more than he would ever admit out loud. “Don’t act like you don’t love it,” Shining Armor said back. “I haven’t heard the safe word from you yet, cutie.” Shining Armor seemed just as eager to subject Sombra to more torment as the former king was to receive it. He held the dancing feather duster just above Sombra’s round and quivering belly. The feathers were reaching out, and some of the tips began to gently graze and stroke at his stomach. Sombra let out a giggle and then bit his lip. “E-Ehehee!” Shining pressed the feather duster down. The sensation was unlike anything Sombra had felt before. It was like each and every feather had a dastardly, evil mind of its own. They ran against each other, each one hungry for its own bit of bare sensitive flesh to attack. The louder Sombra cried out with high-pitched laughter the more hungry the feathers seemed to become. They spread out their ends as far as they would go, managing to run themselves up and down Sombra’s ribs as well as his belly and chest. The king began to feel himself go mad, and began shaking his head back and forth in desperation. “A-Ahahahahaaaa! Nohohohoo it’s tohohoohooo much!” Sombra cried out. He sounded so adorably helpless that Shining simply beamed down. The prince released his hoof from the handle, and held it up with the magic of his horn. He climbed up to the end of the bed where Sombra’s head was flailing. Sombra hardly noticed Shining grow so close, as he was far too busy trying to cling to his sanity as laughter was ripped without mercy from his lungs. He was forced to finally take proper note of the prince’s presence when he felt the sensation of Shining Armor’s lower legs grab the sides of his head. Sombra felt himself forced up until his head was pressed back against Shining Armor’s belly. He gazed up, looking through teary-eyes caused by hysterical laughter. “S-Sheheheining!” Sombra whined. “I-I ahahahahaaaaaa! Ehehehee! The feathers! Ahahahaa!” Sombra was to the point he could hardly form a proper sentence. This seemed to please Shining Armor as he brushed aside the king’s fluffy mane from covering his face and smiled down. “Well, I guess you have been a pretty good boy today,” Shining Armor said with a regretful sigh. “Guess I should give you a bit of reward for being such a good tickle toy.” Sombra saw Shining Armor’s horn glow, and then felt the feathers that still squirmed against his belly be drug downward. Sombra could only widen his eyes as the feathers were thrust upon a new, far more sensitive location to explore. “EEEEHEHEHEEEE!” Sombra cried out. The feathers slapped down to his inner thighs and just under his belly. What the majority of them were after through were his rock-solid cock which still stood tall. Sombra could feel the feathers reach out and latch like tiny straps to his cock. They all began to wave up and down and around. Soon Sombra’s entire cock from his base all the way up to his cockhead was encased in a feathery tomb. Sombra felt his eyes bulge and he began to fight his bindings with newfound fury. “A-Ahahahaaaa! It tickles! Eheeheheee it’s so soft! I-I can’t tahahake it, Shining! Pleheheeeese!” Despite his pleas, Shining Armor refused to relent. He kept the feather duster firmly held against Sombra’s crotch. The poor black stallion knew that he was putty in the prince’s hands. He thought about the great power he had once wielded, and now he was the giggling tickle toy of the one who had helped defeat him. He would have once been beyond humiliated to find himself in a situation like this, however right now was different. Right now his desires were strong, and he knew he WANTED this. He wanted to be toyed with and teased and feathered until he was driven half insane. He liked being putty. “Sh-Shining!” Sombra whined, kicking and squirming his legs helplessly. “A-Ahahaha! I-If you don’t stop I’ll cum! Eheheheeee!” “That’s the intention, silly,” Shining Armor said. “C’mon, I know you wanna get those feathers nice and wet with your cum.” “Ahhh! Ahahahaa! Eheheeehehee P-Pleheheese I can’t stop it!” Sombra cried out helplessly, sure that he was going to lose himself in a blinding daze of either pleasure or torment. He could feel his orgasm quickly approaching. The feathers gripped his cock and ran up and down in a stroking motion. The grip was tight and tender and soft all at once. Sombra bit down on his lip as his hind legs began to tremble and let out a high-pitched moan of pleasure. When the orgasm came his body became overwhelmed with pleasure, and for just a moment he stopped feeling the tickly sensations that had driven him half mad. All he could focus on was the touch of the feathers as he burst with cum and soaked them. Sombra cried out and felt his whole body tense. The feathers made sure to tease and beckon every last drop of cum he had left inside of him. As Sombra’s sensations returned to normal he began to giggle once more. Luckily for him, Shining Armor relented and pulled away the now sticky feathers. “Well that’s gonna need cleaning,” Shining Armor said with a feigned sigh of disappointment. “And it was brand new, too!” “Y-You act like I had any choice there!” Sombra threw back. He let out an exasperated groan. “I’ll tell you one thing, you might have given my once evil self a run for his money when it comes to torment.” Moments later the bindings, and Sombra was free to rest his arms beside him and roll over onto his side to face the prince. Shining Armor rolled his eyes and glanced back to the empty boxes behind them. There was still one large box left that was unopened. He lifted it up with his magic, and when Sombra glanced down he let out a groan. “More?” Sombra asked. “Don’t worry,” Shining Armor said, and opened up the box and ripped its contents free. Sombra saw a flash of bright colors. Pink and grey and blue and white all mixed together. It took him a moment to realize what he was seeing was the soft, fluffy looking fabric of a set of robes. The fur looked just as soft as the boa. Without warning Shining brought one down on top of Sombra and let it fall. “What’s this for?” Sombra asked. “I know how much you adore soft things,” Shining Armor said. Sombra felt his eyes widen. It still never ceased to woo him when Shining did something so nice. Without another word he moved to slip the robe on. He could feel his body tingle as he was embraced with soft feathery fur. He wrapped the robe around himself and smiled before lying back down in his newfound cocoon. “Comfy?” Shining Armor asked. “Delightfully so,” Sombra replied. “Oh, now this is wonderful.” “Hehe, glad you like it,” Shining Armor said. He pulled down the other robpe and hastily slipped it on himself. He scooted closer to Sombra until he was spooning up to the black stallion’s back where he proceeded to spoon. Sombra didn’t fight the affection, but rather let himself melt into it. “I do adore these sessions of ours,” Sombra admitted, and felt his cheeks grow warm in accompaniment to his words. “When do you think we could do it again?” “Still hoarse from all that cute laughter and you’re all riled up for more?” Shining Armor asked. “You truly are insatiable, you know that?” “Quiet,” Sombra said, and nuzzled himself closer to Shining Armor. “As if you aren’t just as eager.” “You see right through me,” Shining Armor said, and pressed his lips down against the fluffy fabric where Sombra’s neck was. Sombra smiled, and felt his eyes drift shut. With the warm embrace of both Shining Armor and the cocoon of warmth the new robe provided him, he felt more comfortable than he had in ages. “Let’s just rest for now,” Sombra said. “I like… having you here.” “I like being here,” Shining Armor said, and planted a kiss once more upon Sombra’s neck.
