Tickles and Love

Zack sighed. He had tried to impress the cute elf girl during a battle, but failed miserably again. A huge snake demon had attacked the gang again, but when Zack tried to impress Lila by defeating it, he ended up getting flung 2 miles and when he got back, he fainted and Lila had to protect him from the snake demon. He felt so weak, he couldn't even fight a stupid demon! Zack wanted so much to make Lila happy, and to tell her his true feelings. But now, he just made her mad because he got cocky in battle. He apologized at least 100 times, but she still ignored him. Rolf, one of the gang members, noticed his sad look, and walked over.

"Hey, what's with the sad look, Zack?" He asked, concerned.

Zack sighed. "I keep wanting to make Lila happy so I can tell her my feelings, but I always mess up. Now she won't talk to me."

Rolf scratched his chin in thought, then smiled as an idea formed. "Why don't you make her talk to you?"

"Make her talk? How?" Zack asked in surprise.

Rolf grinned, then bent over and whispered his idea to Zack.

Zack slowly grinned. It was perfect.

Zack waited until night before getting ready to begin his plan. As soon as Lila left to take a walk in the woods, Zack followed her, being careful to stay far away enough so she wouldn't hear him, yet close enough to see her. Lila stopped suddenly and whipped around. "Who's there?!" She demanded, drawing her bow. A squirrel ran out of the bushes, and she sighed, putting the bow away. She was about to continue her walk, when something hit the back of her head, and she fell over unconscious. Zack stood behind her with his staff. "Sorry Lila."

When Lila woke up, her vision was fuzzy. She tried to reach her arm up to rub her head, but realized she couldn't move. Gradually her vision cleared up, and Lila realized she was in an old cabin. She was sitting on a couch with her hands tied behind her and her ankles tied together in front of her. Her bow was gone, and someone came in from another room. "About time you woke up." Lila glared. Zack. He walked over and leaned over the edge of the couch. "Hello Lila. Have a nice nap?" She tried to break the ropes, but no luck.

"What's going on Zack?" she asked angrily.

"Oh, now you talk to me. Well, Rolf told me on how to get you to talk to me. Now that that's done, I just have to get your forgiveness." Zack explained with a grin. He walked over to Lila's feet, and removed her boots and socks, revealing her soft feet. Zack grinned. He had a slight foot/tickle fetish, and just the thought of what he was about to do made him drool.

Lila stared at Zack as he goggled at her feet. What was he planning?

Zack tore his eyes away from her feet, and smiled at Lila as he pulled a stool over. "Tell me Lila, are you ticklish?" He asked casually, as if they were having a conversation on the weather.

Lila's breath hitched in her throat. She was indeed, very ticklish. Now she realized why she was tied up and what Zack was planning. However, she quickly lied. "No, I'm not."

Zack smiled. He could tell she actually was, but this just made it all the more fun for him. "Well, I guess you won't mind me having a little fun then."

Lila's eyes widened slightly as Zack grabbed a box from another room and set it's contents on the floor beside the couch. 2 feathers, a paintbrush and paint set, a cloth, and a bottle of chocolate syrup.

Zack grabbed a feather, and began gently stroking the bottom of Lila's left foot. He dragged it from the bottom of her heel to the top, just before reaching her toes, then spiraled it down again.

Lila bit her lip and held back the urge to laugh as the feather sent tickling sensations in her foot. 'God, why do my feet have to be the most ticklish?' She asked herself.

Zack smiled when he saw Lila bite her lip, and knew she was trying to resist. Time to step it up a notch. He grabbed the other feather, and started both of Lila's feet, swirling and twirling over her soles.

Lila couldn't resist the tickling sensation of both her feet, and burst into laughter. "No stahahahahap!!!!"

Zack grinned as Lila laughed. He'd never expected her to have such a cute laugh, considering she was more of the tomboy type. "I thought you said you weren't ticklish." He teased.

Lila could only giggle and laugh. She wasn't about to admit she lied.

Zack decided to move on, and put the feathers away. "You know, I'm getting kind of hungry. But I feel like having dessert." Lila's eyes widened as he grabbed the bottle of chocolate syrup. Zack tipped the bottle of syrup over her foot, and it poured over her toes, some sliding down her soles. This gave her a slight tickle, and she giggled. Then Zack bent forward, and started licking the chocolate off her foot. He dragged his tongue from the bottom of her sole to where her toes were, and kept doing that until only her toes still had chocolate on them. The licking drove Lila wild, and she screamed with laughter.

"NYAHAHAHA!!!! STOP THAHAHAHAT!!!!!" She screamed.

Zack smiled, then started sucking on her big toe, his tongue teasing the bottom as he licked the chocolate syrup, moaning in pleasure at the flavor. He nibbled her toe, and licked the space between her big toe and the next toe.

Lila was laughing very hard as he licked the sticky syrup from her feet, and she could hear Zack enjoying the taste of her feet and the syrup. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!"

Zack sucked and licked her toes until all the syrup was gone and replaced with his saliva. He smiled at Lila, who was trying to catch her breath. "Well that was yummy. Unfortunately, I'm still hungry." He moved onto her other foot, and this time started licking without the syrup. "Hmm, this is great." He murmured, savoring the taste of Lila's feet as he licked her soles and toes.

"NO NOT AGAHAHAHAIN!!!!" Lila yelled, the ticklish sensations driving her mad. However, somewhere deeply inside her, she felt as if she might be enjoying this.

Once Zack finished licking Lila's soles, he grabbed the cloth and wiped her feet clean. Then he grabbed a small cup of water, the paint, and the soft bristled paintbrush.

Lila's eyes widened at the sight of the paintbrush. This was going to last a while.

Zack wet the paintbrush in the cup of water, and smiled as he grabbed the toes of her right foot, emitting a squeal from Lila. Zack held them back so her sole was smooth, and dipped the brush into some paint. Lila started laughing and squealing as soon as the brush touched her foot. Zack smiled, and asked "Can you read what I'm writing, Lila?" Zack wrote a 'Z', then an A-C-K. He grinned, and wrote I-S. Finally he wrote beneath that, C-O-O-L. "Zack is cool." Zack said with a cheeky smile. He no longer cared about getting forgiveness, he was having too much fun. Zack couldn't think of what to write on her other foot, so he just drew spirals, lines, and dots.

Lila squealed and begged Zack to stop, but the look on his face told her he wasn't planning on stopping anytime soon. Part of her was panicked at that thought, but another part of her was secretly glad. The part that made her feel that this was the most fun she'd had in a long time.

Zack smiled as he finished, and pretended to frown. "Why, Lila, your feet are filthy with all that paint! I guess we'll have to clean them." He said with a wink. Zack went into another room while Lila attempted to catch her breath, and came back with a bucket of warm soapy water, and a scrub brush.

Lila gulped, but was secretly glad Zack had gotten a little creative.

He dipped the brush into the water, then put his arm around her ankles, holding them tight. "Ready?"

Lila shook her head, but Zack just smiled and started scrubbing the brush along her soles. She burst into hysterical laughter, tears running down her cheeks as Zack scrubbed the paint from her feet. At one point he got a little cheeky, and held back her toes, scrubbing beneath them although no paint was there. Lila squealed, and told him to knock it off.

Zack finished cleaning her feet, and after wiping them off with the cloth, he untied her ankles and hands. "I'm sorry Lila. I just wanted to impress you, but I made you mad. Do you forgive me?" He asked, kneeling on his knees.

Lila stared at him, then smiled a small smile. "Yes, I forgive you. But why do you keep wanting to impress me so much?" She asked.

Zack blushed slightly, then took a deep breath. This was it. He was going to tell her his true feelings. "Lila, I want to impress you because...... because I.... I really.......really like you. I love you, Lila." He told her.

Lila blushed as Zack made his confession. She had always liked him. The way he acted like a dork, always helpful, she had no idea he felt the same way. Lila smiled, and got on her knees in front of him as she took Zack by the shoulders. "I love you too Zack." Then she leaned forward, and kissed him.  

Zack was in shock as Lila kissed him, then slowly kissed back. His arms went around her waist, and hers snaked around his neck. When they finally broke away for air, they gazed into each other's eyes lovingly.

"We better get back to the others. they might be worried." Lila finally said.

Zack was slightly saddened. He wanted to stay alone with Lila forever. However, he knew she was right and nodded, helping her up. "Let's go." The two of them walked back to the campsite, where the rest of the gang was waiting with Rolf. They were holding hands with laced fingers, and the others immediately noticed, whistling and clapping.

"Did you to have a nice walk?" Rolf asked, as if he had no idea what they had been up to.

"Yes, very." Lila replied, retrieving her bow from beside her tent.

Zack watched her, then caught eyes with Rolf, who smiled and winked at him. He grinned, and nodded.

Later that night, as the rest of the gang went into their tents for bed, Lila laid on Zack's lap with her head resting on his chest. The two of them watched the stars as Zack wrapped his arms around Lila's waist, and he smiled as he whispered in her ear. "Did you have fun today?"

Lila smiled. "Yeah. I don't think I would mind doing it again, either." She told him, a slight twinkle in her eyes.

Zack smiled, and hugged the elf girl that was now his.
