There's no better gift than a nearly-naked stallion perfectly prepared for a long, loving tickle session.

Shut up I know Christmas was a full month ago I was on my burnout recovery period.

It's Hearth's Warming in Canterlot, and Princess Celestia has a very special gift wrapped up for Dreamy Daze. How Celestia managed to convince Shining Armor to get tied up for the holidays is anypony's guess, but there's no time to question or complain when there's a stallion to tickle.

Incredibly self-indulgent work for myself to get back into writing to try and shake off the burnout and anxieties.

Story contains: Tickling, bondage, OC x Canon, foot fetish, kissing, the morality of thirsting over a married stallion and the acceptance that I don't care because he's hot

Shining in the Stockings by the Chimney with Care

Right after Princess Celestia raised the sun over Equestria, she returned back to her bedroom. Not to immediately go back to sleep, though she had found herself quite tired after the work she had done prior, but to rouse somepony that was still fast asleep in her bed.

“Oh Dreamy, it’s time to wake up…” she gently sang.

“Nnnn…Already said I’d do the snow inabit…” the pegasus muttered, still having a dream about the work he was forced to do all season.

“Come on, sleepyhead. There’s quite a lot to do today…” Celestia kept up her chipper, upbeat tone as she threw open the curtains, letting the sunlight shine into the room.

The brightness of the morning sun intensified as it bounced off all the fresh snow and onto Dreamy Daze’s face. It threw him into the waking world, but his eyes still remained shut. “Rrrgh…can’t I just get like five more…hours…?” he grumbled, blindly reaching for a pillow to shield his eyes with.

“Maybe, but I doubt your presents will want to wait that long for you…” Celestia giggled.

Dreamy’s ears perked up, his half-awake brain slowly processing what his partner had just said. “It’s Hearth’s Warming!” he exclaimed as he sat straight up in an instant.

Celestia couldn’t help but giggle at the sudden burst of energy that came from the normally sleepy stallion. “It certainly is.”

Dreamy excitedly flew out of bed, tugging on Celestia’s arm to try and take her out the door. “What are we waiting for? There’s stuff we have to open!”

Celestia playfully rolled her eyes and started walking, letting Dreamy lead the way.

As Dreamy and Celestia walked down the halls to the presents, the stallion tried to get an early preview of what was to come. “Sooooo, what’d you get me?”

“Now Dreamy, what fun would it be to spoil the surprise?” Celestia softly smiled. “But if you really want a hint, it’s something I know you’ve wanted for a long, long time…”

Dreamy took a moment to go through all the things he’s openly wished for to Celestia, before letting out a loud gasp. “IS IT-”

“I’m not turning you into an alicorn for Hearth’s Warming,” Celestia preemptively cut him off.

“...For my birthday, then?”

“Cute. No.”

“Aww…”

“Still, you might want to hold your enthusiasm for a bit, dear. I doubt you’ll want to unwrap your gifts so quickly…”

Celestia’s apparent little joke to herself only made Dreamy more confused, trying to figure out the riddle of a present he wasn’t meant to unwrap.

He’d soon get his answer as the doors opened.

The room was decorated brightly with candy canes and stars and ribbons of all sorts. The massive tree glistening with ornaments had tons of presents underneath. And the most prominent gift of all was quite possibly the biggest: Shining Armor in a pair of stocks, hands tied behind his head, wearing nothing but his underwear, trying to keep himself warm by the lit hearth.

Pomf!

“Hawawawawa…Buh!” Dreamy could not get a coherent word out. He sprinted over to the stocked Shining, just to double-check that he was the real deal.

“Hey Dreamy, happy Hearth’s Warming…” Shining said, one look into his eyes indicated that he also woke up pretty recently.

Dreamy looked back up at Celestia. “T-This is for me?”

“Well, I didn’t get him for myself!” Celestia smirked. “Besides, I think you deserve it since you’ve been such a good pony this year.”

“Funny, I remember him being naughty on several occasions…” Shining muttered under his breath.

Dreamy took a long look at Shining’s nearly naked body, trying to figure out what he wanted to do first. There were so many options to take, and all of them were good.

Shining nervously squirmed around, he knew what was coming, and like Dreamy, he was also wondering what spot would be tickled first.

Meanwhile, as Dreamy was about to get ready to enjoy his gift, Celestia took the time to start opening up her own presents.

It was a tough choice. Nearly all of Shining’s good spots were exposed and on display. But what was currently calling to him the loudest was his upper body, especially those firm abs. His arms reached forward to give them a squeeze.

Shining’s reaction was instant, breaking out into a fit of laughter as soon as those hands started touching his stomach. “Gah! Ahahahahahaaaaa!”

“Hmm, thought he’d go for the feet first,” Celestia noted before going back to admiring the industrial-sized bottle of mane conditioner.

Shining’s laughter was music to Dreamy’s ears. Easily the second-most wonderful sound he’s ever heard. He never got to hear it enough throughout the year, partially due to the distance between Ponyville and the Crystal Empire and mostly due to the “hard crushing on a happily married stallion while being taken himself” thing. Perhaps one of his New Year’s resolutions should be to travel more often…

Another thing he missed was being able to touch Shining’s muscular body. Dreamy envied the firm abs Shining had, and envied Cadence for having access to it almost 24/7.

Dreamy quickly pushed those thoughts to the side. Celestia had given him this gift of Shining Armor for Hearth’s Warming, and he was going to enjoy it for all it was worth without any twinges of guilt or jealousy.

Shining Armor was certainly feeling that enthusiasm from Dreamy. He felt the pegasus’s fingers skitter all over his stomach, tracing across the grooves of his abs. “Nnnnf! Ahaaaa! Eeheeheeheehee!”

Every time Dreamy got the opportunity, he’d always take the time to squeeze and toy with Shining’s abs. There was just something about how they were simultaneously firm and ticklish at the same time that got the pegasus curious. Sure, he could theoretically get more information from the local athletes in Ponyville, but Rainbow Dash would certainly give him more weather work to do, and Applejack would hospitalize him with one accidental kick.

Not that there weren’t consequences to spontaneously tickling Shining’s stomach, it was just more worth it in his case.

“Nnnngh! Mmmph! Hehehehahaha!” Shining’s body tensed up and jolted with each squeeze, just barely unable to hold back the stream of giggles from leaving his lips.

“Aww, c’mon, Shiny! I know you can laugh louder than that…” Dreamy teased, wriggling his fingers up and down Shining’s sides.

“Aaaahahaaa! T-Then you gotta t-tihihickle me hahaharder!” Shining fired back.

That was enough to give the pegasus pause. Hearing Shining actively ask to be tickled was so rare that it caught Dreamy off-guard. He looked up and noticed that there was nothing on Shining’s horn to suppress his magic. He could easily teleport out. Even if it was just for the moment, Shining Armor wanted to be here.

Shining shimmied his body from side to side as Dreamy just stood there with his mouth open. “Well? Don’t keep me waiting…”

“Hnnnhhh…” Dreamy shuddered as his cheeks turned red. Whenever Shining did ask to be tickled, it was mostly used as a way to rile Dreamy up rather than be an earnest request. It’d be so infuriating if it didn’t work on him every single time.

“C’mon, is my ticklish body too distracting for YAHAHAHAHAHA!?”

Dreamy finally took action, his hands shot straight to Shining’s armpits, scribbling his fingers into his exposed pits. “Not distracting enough!”

“EEEK! AHAHAHAHAHAAAAHA! NOHOHOHOHAHAHAHA!” Caught by surprise, Shining was finally giving Dreamy those big squeals that he was craving. His thrashing shook the stocks as he tried desperately to lower his arms.

“Yeah, not so tough when I’ve got full access to your armpits, huh?” Dreamy chuckled, making sure to dig into the taut hollows of the other stallion.

Shining Armor arched his back as a few tears started to form in his eyes. “OKAY! OKAYOKAYOKAY I’M SOHOHOHOHORRY!”

Dreamy leaned forward, grinning as his fingers only went faster. “Oh, that’s not gonna save you now, Shiny. You can’t sweet talk your way out of this one!”

Once Dreamy leaned in closer, Shining’s eyes briefly flashed with inspiration. He managed to restrain the laughter long enough to pucker his lips and plant a kiss right on Dreamy’s lips, holding it as long as he was able to.

Shining’s gamble paid off, as Dreamy was too stunned to keep tickling the moment Shining locked lips with him. He stood still in the same position, hands still hovering above Shining’s armpits as he found himself conflicted. He didn’t want to stop tickling Shining, but he didn’t want to do anything to interrupt the kiss, either.

Celestia let out a small scoff to chuckle at the situation and to admire Shining’s cunning. She fully intended for Dreamy to play with Shining Armor, not to be the one toyed with.

With a little muffled murmur of joy, Dreamy reached his hands forward once more, not to get his fingers back in Shining’s armpits, but to put his hands on his shoulders. Dreamy closed his eyes, fully accepting the blissful moment that Shining pulled him into.

After a few seconds, Shining finally broke away, stifling a laugh as he noticed that Dreamy was more red in the face than he was. “No, but I can still smooch you into submission.”

“...Fuck me sideways, that was hot…” Dreamy grumbled, quietly being thankful for being the most teased dom ever.

“And there’s more where that came from if you’d just…unwrap the rest of your present…” Shining suggested, shimmying his hips around.

“Yeah, nice try,” Dreamy scoffed, immediately giving Shining’s sides a squeeze.

“Ahahaha! C-Come ohohohohon!” Shining giggled, making little hops on the floor each time Dreamy squeezed him.

Dreamy was determined to retake control of the situation, no matter how alluring Shining’s shirtless body was. Maybe if he just tickled harder, Shining wouldn’t have the chance to say anything so seductively distracting…

“EEEEEEE!” Shining felt a sudden spike of intensity in Dreamy’s tickling. He could feel the pegasus’s fingers digging into his sides and abs just a little bit harder, squeezing his hips just a little bit faster… “Hold on, I-GAHAHAHA! W-Wai-AAAHAHAA! Hey, Dream-EEEEEHEEHEE!”

Dreamy smirked in satisfaction. His plan was working beautifully so far if Shining couldn’t finish a sentence without bursting into laughter.

Shining continued to try and get a word in, but Dreamy was just as persistent in giving him a good squeeze every time he spoke. “Wait, not THEHEHEHEHERE! S-SLOHOHOHOW DOHOHOHOHOWAHAHAHAHA! IT TIHIHICKLES SOHOHOHO MUHUHUHUCH!”

“Aw, it’s just your sides and your hips!” Dreamy taunted. “I could always just go back to your pits…” To demonstrate, Dreamy brought his fingers back up to his taut underarms.

“Waitwaitwait not ag-AAAIIINHAHAHAHAHAHA!” Even though Dreamy was only lightly wiggling his fingers in his armpits, Shining threw his head back with helpless laughter as he started to struggle harder.

Fortunately for Shining, the armpit tickling lasted only a few moments. Unfortunately, Dreamy was far from done.

“Of course, I could give those abs of yours some more love…”

Shining Armor felt Dreamy’s index fingers trace along the grooves made by his stomach. They were much slower and more deliberate motions, tickling less, but still enough to make Shining squirm and giggle.

Dreamy’s gaze slowly drifted down. “Or maybe you want me to go a little bit further…”

Shining briefly shuddered trying to imagine what Dreamy was talking about, until he felt those hands start to grab and squeeze at his butt. “AAAAHAHAHACK!”

But Dreamy didn’t stop at just his flank, he kept tickling Shining through his boxers, including his inner thighs. His fingers were getting dangerously close to what Dreamy was keeping a close eye on.

“Ohhh, you’re getting as excited as I am, huh…” Dreamy said with a low growl, slowly inching his fingers higher and higher up those inner thighs towards the bulge in Shining’s shorts.

Shining’s cheeks and ears started to get redder the further Dreamy was pushing it. There were faint moans amidst his squeaking laughter as he watched intently where those hands would go next.

It was so tempting to grab that waistband and pull Shining’s boxers down, but Dreamy had to restrain himself and save it for a little bit later. There was something else that required his attention first.

Shining blinked in confusion as Dreamy seemingly halted all momentum for no reason, until he saw the pegasus shuffling backwards towards the stocks. “Oh no…”

“You didn’t think I forgot about these, did you?” Dreamy patted on the wooden frame that kept Shining’s ankles secured. “Ooh, this is nice!” he said, complimenting the stocks now that he got a closer look.

“Why, thank you, Dreamy! I just knew you’d like them!” Celestia said.

“Wow, not a lot of noise when it shakes, that’s impressive! I get to keep these too, right?”

“Are you sure you want to? It’s not my size…” Celestia teased, knowing full-well that most of the bondage furniture that Dreamy wanted had to accommodate for taller proportions.

“Yeah, but it’s his size.” Dreamy looked lovingly into Shining’s eyes before looking back down, sliding a few fingers across his bare feet. “Which is perfectly fine by me.”

“Gah!” Shining’s body tensed up as he curled his feet. His breathing got significantly heavier knowing that Dreamy was just getting started with the toe-tickling torment.

“Still as soft and smooth as ever, I see,” Dreamy cooed, letting his fingers sink into Shining’s soles.

This was the one comment that actually got Shining Armor flustered. It was no secret that Shining treated himself to regular pedicures that left his feet far more tender than what would be expected from a captain of the royal guard. Dreamy thirsting over his muscles was one thing, but to fawn over the smoothness of his feet left the stallion with red cheeks every time.

Much like with the abs, touching Shining’s feet filled Dreamy with delight. Tender feet and toned abs were a wonderful combination on a pony, and Shining Armor’s were no exception, especially with how ticklish his feet were.

But he wasn’t going to get Shining squealing just by staring at his feet. With a mischievous glint in his eyes, Dreamy started scribbling his fingers against his soles.

While the break from being tickled was a relief for Shining, with Dreamy eagerly staring at his feet, the prince couldn’t rest easy knowing it’d just be back in full force at any second. Though the second he felt Dreamy’s fingers start to move, he burst out with a fit of laughter. “Nahahahahaha! Nohohohohoho! Stahahahahahap!”

“What do you mean ‘stop’? I just started tickling your feet!” Dreamy said, chuckling in disbelief as his fingers danced up and down his feet. “I should be able to play with my Hearth’s Warming toy all I want!”

“Ahahahahaa! Ohohohoho gosh! S-Slohohohow dohohown!” The only bondage on Shining’s feet so far was the stocks, they were able to wiggle and curl as much as he was able to. Not that Dreamy was going to let his feet slip away, though he could at least try.

Dreamy didn’t mind all the wild foot flailing. Having Shining’s arch flinch away a couple of inches was a mild inconvenience at worst. If anything, he loved watching how helplessly he squirmed around. “But Shiny, if I slow down, then you wouldn’t be able to wiggle your toes in such an adorable way!”

“Nononono! I-I’ll do ihihihit! J-Just wahahahatch!” Shining begged, hoping that it’d give his feet just a few precious seconds more of reprieve.

Dreamy could hear the desperation in Shining’s voice, but it was a fairly interesting proposal. He stopped the tickling, drumming his fingers against his own lap. “Alright, I’m watching,” he said with an amused smirk.

Deep down, Shining knew that this would only stall the inevitable, but if this is what it took…

Shining started the foot show by wiggling his toes, hoping that Dreamy would be appeased. He carefully watched the pegasus’s expression as his toes curled and uncurled.

Dreamy watched with an almost bored expression on his face. Shining’s soles were a delight to watch, but he’d much rather have his hands on them instead. In his mind, he was already back to scribbling his fingers all over those sole to make them blush.

Shining could tell that Dreamy was already reconsidering his mercy, but with his feet stuck in the stocks, he wasn’t granted much flexibility in terms of movement. He used the big toe on his right foot to slowly stroke up his left foot to tickle himself. It didn’t cause any giggling, but it did make his foot twitch and his toes splay out.

Dreamy’s expression softened as he saw Shining’s toes move across his own sole. Just watching his toes flinch like that made him realize just how sensitive the prince’s feet were, and how lucky Dreamy was to be able to have them in front of him. The more he watched, the more his body loosened up. His thoughts drifted towards how plush they looked rather than how they felt.

Noticing that Dreamy was getting distracted, Shining turned up the charm. “Yeah, you like that? You love how big and soft they are, right, Dreamy?” he teased, rocking his feet from side to side.

“Mmhm…” Dreamy slowly nodded, his head rocking back and forth with the same cadence that Shining’s feet moved, completely entranced by the sole show.

“Nice and smooth and lotioned, just the way you like them, see? Look how sexy it is when I wiggle my toes…”

“Yeah, I could just stare at them all…” Dreamy blinked, realizing he’d been had by the footy equivalent of dangling keys. “Damnit!”

Shining’s expression was a mix between a wince and a grin. He knew the trick wasn’t going to work on him for much longer, but it was nice while it lasted, plus it was totally worth it to practically hypnotize him with his toes.

Dreamy let out a resigned sigh. “Fine, if you wanna play games…”

The pegasus stood up and walked over to the fireplace, plucking some of the mistletoe that was strung on top of it, and placing the plucked plant between Shining’s big toes. “Alright, Shiny, here’s how this’ll work: so long as that mistletoe stays between your toes, I’ll continue being gentle with your feet.”

Shining gulped and clenched his toes, Dreamy didn’t have to tell him what the penalty would be if the mistletoe dropped…

Dreamy smiled and leaned back down. Following pony tradition, he started peppering Shining’s soles with kisses, especially focusing on the balls of his feet and the arches, right below where the mistletoe was.

“Mmmh…” Shining stifled a little giggle as Dreamy planted kiss after kiss on his feet. Thankfully it didn’t tickle as much, but each kiss did manage to make his toes twitch a little bit.

Dreamy wasn’t intending to try and make the mistletoe drop, at least not yet. This was a more self-indulgent way of showing mercy for that lovely foot show that Shining did. He pressed his muzzle into his soles, adding in nuzzles with his kisses.

“Ahh…hehehehe…” Dreamy’s eager muzzle movements got a few chuckles out of Shining Armor. It was enough to get his feet to wiggle a bit whenever he felt the other stallion’s face press against his soles, but his toes still held firmly onto the mistletoe.

Dreamy let out a little sigh of happiness as he continued to kiss all over Shining’s feet. He placed his nose right underneath Shining’s toes, giving a kiss to the ball of his foot.

It was unbelievably tempting for Shining to curl his toes over Dreamy’s muzzle, but the pegasus looked like he was enjoying himself so much, and he was keeping his promise of being gentle…

After the kissing and the nuzzling, Dreamy slowly stuck out his tongue and started licking. Sitting by the fireplace for a while made Shining’s soles a bit sweaty, but Dreamy was still eager to lap at his feet.

“Eeeheehee! Aaahaha!” The quick licking was enough to get Shining’s feet to move a bit more. Enough to make Shining think he almost spread his toes out too wide to drop the mistletoe.

Hearing Shining crack was a delight for Dreamy to hear, but it wasn’t the main goal, just a side effect of licking the sensitive soles of his favorite prince. He gave his feet a mix of kisses, nuzzles, and licks, never staying with the same technique for long.

Shining’s laughter and squirming fluctuated as Dreamy kept swapping between kissing his toes and licking his arches and rubbing his heels. It definitely tickled, but it felt nice to have the pegasus at his feet. Surely he wasn’t just going to be pampering his feet the entire time, right?

“Mmmh…I missed being able to kiss and lick your feet…” Dreamy said as he stood back up.

“Y-Yeah?” Shining clenched his toes a little tighter, wondering where the pegasus was walking off to next.

Dreamy walked over and sat behind Shining Armor. “Buuuut I also missed getting my hands on your abs…” he whispered into Shining’s ear before digging his fingers in.

“GYAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!?” Shining’s whole body jolted and twitched, including his toes, which immediately dropped the mistletoe as they spread wide.

“Aww, ya dropped them!” Dreamy teased, raking his fingers across the grooves of Shining’s abs. “You know what that means…”

“NOHOHOHO FAHAHAHAIR!” Shining protested. “YOU SAID YOU’D BEHEEHEEHEE GENTLE!”

“Ah ah, I said I’d only be gentle with your feet…” Dreamy softly chuckled. “But now I get to be as mean as I want to them…”

“Ah, before you do that, Dreamy,” Celestia interrupted as Dreamy walked back to the front of the stocks. “Why don’t you open some of your other presents?”

Dreamy turned his head, raising an eyebrow at Celestia’s curious request. But she must have had a reason to even bring up the other gifts by the tree right now. Maybe she just wanted to make sure Shining didn’t pass out.

With a fair amount of small presents on the floor, Dreamy picked up the nearest box and started pulling at the ribbons. Once he opened up the box, he found a hairbrush and a comb inside.

Dreamy chuckled as a wave of deja vu hit, but at least he knew what the intent was behind the gift this time. “Well, I think I know how to put these to good use!”

Shining’s feet curled as Dreamy took the mane-care items out of the box.

Dreamy reached for another box, eager to see what else he had gotten for Hearth’s Warming. The next gift he received was a hefty bottle of massage oil. “For me?” he said with a big dramatic gasp, pulling the bottle out. “You shouldn’t have!”

“You really shouldn’t have…” Shining whimpered as his pupils shrunk.

“You’ll notice that’s a deluxe bottle,” Celestia pointed out, urging Dreamy to look at the label. “Guaranteed to soothe and soften those tense and sensitive areas…”

“Oooh, bold claim!” Dreamy exclaimed as he examined the label. He unscrewed the bottle top to break the seal, pouring a hefty amount onto his hands before slathering it onto Shining’s feet.

Shining shuddered as the cold massage oil started dribbling down his soles. It only took a few seconds before Dreamy had fully coated his feet.

With Shining’s feet now dripping with the massage oil, now it was time to work it in. Dreamy pressed his thumbs into his arches and started rubbing in circles.

“Nnngh…” Shining let out a reluctant growl of pleasure. It felt nice and soothing, but he couldn’t fully relax knowing what was going to happen next at any moment.

As Dreamy tenderly rubbed the oil into Shining’s soles, he mentally reminded himself to not get too into rubbing his feet, lest Shining try something that would get him distracted all over again.

“Aaah! Nnnf…oooh…” Even though he was anticipating the incoming tickles, Shining couldn’t help but let out a few moans of pleasure whenever Dreamy’s thumbs pressed into his feet just right, causing his toes to spread out just for a moment.

Despite lacking any professional training, Dreamy still had plenty of experience giving foot rubs, but given the massive bottle he was gifted and how often he’d love to be at the feet of Shining and Celestia, the pegasus was considering learning some pointers from Aloe and Lotus back in Ponyville. It would certainly be worth it if it led to more moans like the ones Shining was currently making.

“Mmmh! Ohhh right there…” Shining moaned as he felt Dreamy rubbing his toes. All the tension from the tickling started to fade the longer Dreamy kept rubbing his feet. It was still there, but it was taking a comfortable seat in the back of Shining’s mind.

Dreamy decided to oblige, staying at his toes just for a little while longer. It didn’t hurt to make sure that the oil got between his toes, after all.

Shining let out a pleasured shudder. Dreamy was hitting just the right spots to make his stress melt away. He gradually gave into the soothing attention and closed his eyes, his toes twitching in Dreamy’s grasp.

This was Dreamy’s chance. He continued the massage for a few seconds longer after Shining closed his eyes, then started reaching for the comb and brush.

By the time Shining cracked his eyes open, it was already too late. Dreamy already had his tools in hand and they were sliding down his soles. “No-NOHOHOHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!”

Dreamy was absolutely elated with Shining’s explosive reaction. With the help of all the massage oil, the plastic of the comb’s teeth and brush’s bristles had no problem gliding up and down his slathered soles.

“AAAAAIIIIEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEE STAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!” Shining’s feet curled and flailed in a desperate attempt to try and get his feet away, but it was no use. His shiny soles gave practically no resistance to Dreamy’s tickle tools.

“Oh, this is fantastic!” Dreamy beamed. He listened to the little scritches from the brush bristles, and the little ticks from each individual tooth of the comb, and the wild peals of laughter from Shining as he tickled him.

“I CAHAHAHAHAN’T! NOHOHOHO MOHOHOHOHORE!” Shining pleaded, rocking back and forth in the stocks, trying to pull his legs away.

“The massage oil really does wonders!” Dreamy marveled. “These things just glide across the soles, no problem!”

Shining shut his eyes as tears started to flow down his cheeks. “D-DREAMY PLEHEHEHEEAAASE! I-IT TIHIHIHICKLES SOHOHOHO MUHUHUHUCH!”

Dreamy continued to ignore Shining’s pleas, paying more attention to the laughter than what he was trying to say through it. “And given how much, I think this bottle can get me through…mmm, a few dozen sessions or so?” he mused, dragging the comb between Shining’s toes.

“EEEEEEEEEEEEE! NONONOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!” Shining’s squealing hit a much higher pitch than usual once the comb started sawing in between his toes. He tried to grab onto it, but his oiled-up toes were too slippery.

“But these two babies are gonna last a hundred at least! A shame I still can’t do a thing about my bedmane, though…” he chuckled to himself.

Shining was starting to get lightheaded, the constant scrubbing and sawing was pushing the poor stallion to his limit. “STAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA! STAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAP I’LL DO ANYTHIHIHIHIIIING!”

That was enough to finally catch Dreamy’s attention. “Anything, huh? You know ‘anything’ is a dangerously bold claim to make, Shiny…” He teetered the comb between Shining’s toes, threatening to move it again if he didn’t make good on his word.

Shining gulped, knowing he had to commit or face Dreamy’s tickly wrath once more. “Y-Yes! I promise, anything you want!”

“Hmm…” Dreamy clicked his tongue as he pondered the possibilities. There were so many things he could demand of him. Cast a tickle hex on Cadence and make it last a whole day, substitute for him and be Trixie’s assistant while he got the pay and some well-deserved sleep, on-demand foot rubs for a whole month…

Dreamy leaned forward, having decided on his demands. “I want…you to give me another one of those kisses.”

Shining blinked in surprise, but was relieved that Dreamy was actually showing him some mercy. He happily leaned forward, pursing his lips to meet the other stallion’s.

Dreamy’s heart started racing once more as he closed his eyes, being taken away in the tenderness of Shining’s touch. His wings slowly extended behind his back and fluttered as he let out little moans of excitement.

Shining smiled to himself, taking some much-needed breaths through his nostrils, letting Dreamy be the one to decide when the kiss ended. He could feel Dreamy’s hands resting on his thighs, and the subtle trembling on his fingertips, unsure if it was excitement from the kiss, or a subconscious eagerness for more.

Dreamy eventually pulled back, before going back in to give Shining a hug. “Thanks for the wonderful Hearth’s Warming gift…!”

“Hehe, you’re welcome,” Shining chuckled. “So, uh…are you gonna let me out, now?”

“I will.” Dreamy giggled, slyly tugging at the waistband on Shining’s underwear. “Just let me open one more package…”

Author's Note

I'm sorry for everyone that follows me for No Clop November that realizes I'm a horny tickle freak for the other 11 months of the year.
