Poke
Cain was reclining on the bed trying to finish reading the last of the reports had brought home. Trying was the operative word here because he was currently being poked. He glanced at Glitch, who appeared to be sleeping peacefully next to him, then shrugged and went back to reading.
Poke
This time the poke was followed by a giggle and this time the finger was not quickly retracted.
"Is there any particular reason why you're doing that, Glitch?" said Cain.
"Doing what?" said Glitch
Cain looked pointedly at the finger on his arm then back at Glitch, waiting for the connection to be made.
"Oh that," said Glitch, "No, no reason"
"Okay"
Glitch made no effort to remove the offending digit, but instead lay there grinning.
"So, you wanna stop now?" said Cain
"Fine" said Glitch and poked him in the chest.
Cain stared at Glitch for a moment, then slowly put down the report he was holding. "Well, you do know what's going to happen now, don't you?" he asked.
"Um, no?" said Glitch.
"You," said Cain "are about to be visited by the tickle monster."
Glitch yelped and tried to dive under the blankets but Cain pounced. He tickled while Glitch shrieked and begged for mercy, though he was secretly pleased that his evil plan had succeeded.
