A short story that was born thanks to an ask over at tumblr, enjoy!
Warnings: M/M-pairing, a kiss, tickling, a bed, no harm done to anyone. Alternate realities?
"Have I entered an alternate universe or did you really just crack a smile for me?"
Emil could see Lalli fighting to hide the smile, turning his face away from Emil when everything else was unsuccessful. Emil sat down on the bed next to Lalli, grinning.
"I never thought I'd live to see the day!"
Lalli hmpfed, but the sound lacked some of its usual harshness and Emil snrkted.
"Come on now, no need to hide it!"
"Not hiding", Lalli said and crossed his arms over his chest. "You're imagining things."
"You say that, but you're wrong."
Emil poked Lalli's side and the Finn twisted in an attempt to get away.
"...you're ticklish."
"Am not."
"You totally are!"
Emil poked Lalli's side again and the Finn moved away. Emil followed. Lalli moved again, but Emil kept following. Then there was no more bed. Lalli fell to the floor and Emil took the opportunity to sit down over him and tickle his sides. Lalli twisted beneath him, tried to kick him off, but Emil grinned.
"I have three younger cousins, there's no way you'll get me off!"
Well, there was one way, he remembered as Lalli's fingers found their way to Emil's sides. Emil gasped, laughed, twisted and fell off Lalli, who quickly took his place on top. Lalli's fingers were determined, knew Emil's weak spots and Emil tried to break free, laughed so hard he could barely breathe.
"Okay, okay! I give! You win!"
Lalli's fingers stopped their dance and Emil panted, watched as Lalli got off him and a new smile decorated his lips. Emil rolled over to his side, looked at Lalli, smiled back.
"I knew you cracked a smile for me."
His arm grabbed around Lalli's waist, pulled him down and closer.
"Don't hide you're smiles."
Lalli blushed and Emil rested his forehead against Lalli's, slowly let their noses touch.
"I love when you smile."
Their lips gently brushed against each other and Lalli's blush deepened as his smile widened.
"I'm not smiling", he whispered as he leaned into the kiss. "You've just entered an alternate universe."
