I am still torn between "I will stop posting my stuff on this site" and "I will keep updating, even if no one cares!".
I think I will give it a last try and see what happens, but if no one cares I will stop posting on here for real and I will stick to my dA account then.
I mean I do all this hard work with translating most of my stories from german into english and yet hardly anyone takes the time to write a small review for me to let me know if they like the stuff I am positing or not and this is really hard for me, you know?
It takes me hours, days and sometimes even weeks to write and finish a piece of mine and no one takes a few little minutes to write a small comment down and let me know what they think?
And IF people write a comment, it's mostly "UPDATE" which isn't a real help for me either, you know?
This is the main reason why I want to quit this site, you know?
I just wanted to say that...
As for this story: This has been a hard one to translate and it took me four days to translate it from german into english.
It's the second part of my story "Little brothers - Sometimes a blessing, sometimes a nightmare" which you can find on this account as well.
My real life best friend requested this from me, since she had the ideas for this fic. I just wrote it down as best as I could...
How to teach your little brother a lesson...
The amused laughter of the other angels followed him into his personal room.
Grumbling and still with a crimson head, he gave his door a good kick and only calmed down when the door was closed and when he was alone.
Gabriel had really done it this time!
Of all the pranks he had played him so far, this was the worst.
And it had not even been a real prank for his father's sake!
Oh no, the little brat had taken revenge on him, for what Lucifer had done to him.
This was nevertheless already an eternity back, but Gabriel was like he himself: A sore loser and so it was only a matter of time until the messenger angel had the courage to get back at him.
And he had also done exceptionally well, since he had never felt so humiliated in his life before!
It was bad enough that Michael and the crowd of little fledglings had seen him as naked as his father had created him, but no, the rest of heaven had also seen him like this and this was just too much for him and he hoped that Gabriel had already begun to pray that he wouldn't get his hands on him, because this time he would know no mercy anymore!
No, this time his little brother would suffer for this nasty prank he had played on him until he had learned his lesson!
But how should he do this?
Lucifer had no answer for this question, had hardly time to think about it, because his brothers and sisters had made fun of him all the way from the lake to his room and he could have only concentrated on that!
The laughter of his family still echoed inside his head and he just knew that Gabriel now sat somewhere and couldn't stop laughing himself and that thought alone made him almost furious.
"You have taken it too far this time, little brother..." he growled as he quickly sought a new robe and to be on the safe side and making sure that Gabriel didn't steal it again, he tied a silk ribbon around his waist, which he knotted before his belly, so that his robe would remain where it belonged to:
On his body!
Then he sat down on his sleeping place and began to think about how he could take revenge on Gabriel.
It had to be something that his little brother would never forget.
Something that would humiliate him so much that he would not even think about playing his big brother such a mean prank ever again!
It should be something that had him so embarrassed that he would wish to sink into the ground and never return, but Gabriel was not a fool. He was careful not to do anything embarrassing in the presence of his brothers and sisters, because Lucifer couldn't remember anything embarrassing his little brother had done in the past and which he could now use against him.
Great!
Maybe he could get back at him by stealing his clothes and let him run through the paradise completely naked?
Nah, that would be childish.
Perhaps he would simply tie him to his bed and pour a whole bag of itching powder over him and see how he would suffer, since he wouldn't be able to scratch himself?
No, that was not a very original plan and it would make Gabriel to play him another nasty prank and that would eventually end up in a prank war and certainly none of them wanted that...and God wouldn't be very fond of that also, because at some point even he would probably fall victim to one of their pranks.
Just the imagination of what would happen if this was the case let Lucifer shudder...
It had to be something that would teach Gabriel the lesson of his life and stop him to mess with him.
A big, wide grin spread suddenly on Lucifer's face when he got an idea.
An idea that would give him his revenge!
And not only him but also his brothers Michael and Raphael, because Gabriel had played some pranks on them also and the two of them were anything but happy about that. But they had never taken revenge on the young messenger, since they didn't know how to do this.
Lucifer would gladly help them and in his head a plan had been forged.
A perfect plan…
A plan he would put into action immediately.
"You have messed with the wrong angels, little brother..." he muttered, before he stood up and stepped out of his room.
When he had found Michael and Raphael, they would search for Gabriel and put his plan into action.
His grin widened and he could feel the anticipation spreading through him.
Oh yes, that would teach this little rascal a lesson he would never forgot...
Gabriel didn't know of the sinister plans of his big brother.
Oh no, because his concentration was on a crowd of little angels that stood in front of him, which he desperately tried to teach the song "Gloria", but either they weren't focused or they laughed more than they sang what usually didn't bother him that much, but today everything seemed to be different.
He felt an inner restlessness, as a feeling as if something terrible was about to happen, but he didn't know what and why it would happen, but it was definitely there and hovered over him like a thundercloud; ready to send a flash to him at any time.
A shudder came over the young messenger angel and he quickly shook his head, trying to banish these dark thoughts from his head.
It was such a beautiful day and to waste such a day with such thoughts was almost a sin.
Not that it really was one, but for Gabriel it felt like it was a sin.
But no matter how hard he tried to focus on the angels and the heavenly song, this queasy feeling in his stomach was still there.
And it didn't get better, when a hand was suddenly put on his shoulder and frightened him so much, that the feathers on his wings lined up and he winced.
His students laughed and he blushed, because he never showed weakness in front of them or any other angel in heaven and when he turned around, he was promptly greeted by a grinning Lucifer, who had his hand still on his shoulder and who looked like that he wouldn't let him go anytime soon.
And the unwell feeling in his stomach began to turn somersaults...
But Gabriel tried to hide his panic from his older brother as much as he could.
He even put on a broad grin as well, when he looked at his brother and he even waggled his eyebrows at him.
"Well look at that. My big brother isn't running around totally naked anymore?"
The grin on Lucifer's lips died away for a short moment and a deep growl rose from his throat, from which Gabriel got goosebumps.
But the grin was back in a second and something evil glistened in the eyes of his big brother, and he squeezed his shoulder a little harder to give his next words more power.
"When we are at the topic: I would like to talk with you, little brother. Do you have some time for me?"
The question made the messenger angel shudder again and he broke away from Lucifer's hand and stepped back from him, but he didn't come far, because he ran against another angel, who quickly wrapped his arms around his torso and pressed him against his body.
"And where are you going Gabriel? Don't you want to talk with your big brothers?"
The deep voice of Michael made sure that the grin disappeared from his face and now made place for fear.
And when even Raphael appeared next to Lucifer, Gabriel knew that something was about to happen.
Especially when Raphael turned to the little angels and told them that they should go to Balthazar and play with him, because they had something very important to discuss with Gabriel.
Gabriel could already imagine what it was, especially when he looked at Lucifer, who seemed to be seething inwardly.
No wonder, because who wouldn't react like that, after being stark naked and run through the paradise like that while everyone could see him?
Helplessly, he watched how the crowd of young angels disappeared a little later and left him alone with his big brothers, who eyed him intently and when Michael let him go again, the three Archangels built themselves up in front of him and spread their wings out to their full span to intimidate him even more.
"What is wrong with you Gabe? Don't tell me you're afraid of us?"
Lucifer's teasing words made the whole thing even worse for him and he would have loved to spread his own wings out and fly away, but he knew that he would never escape these three.
"W-what do you want from me?"
His lips were quivering when he asked this question.
"Isn't it obvious?" Lucifer asked the counter-question and his eyes began to glow…literally.
He had to be damn mad at him, for he had not seen this look in his eyes for a very, very long time.
Yes, this time he had really exaggerated it with his pranks...
"I-I can understand that you're mad at me, but why are Raphael and Michael here?"
Again there was the hint of a small grin on Gabriel's lips, but it looked kind of forced.
"Or are you afraid to face me all alone?"
A question which he shouldn't have asked him!
As fast as Lucifer pushed him against the nearest tree and held him pressed against it, the young messenger couldn't look and he felt another shiver crawling down his spine, as the older Archangel growled darkly into his ear.
"Don't make the situation worse than it already is Gabriel. I warn you!"
The younger Archangel shuddered heavily.
"All right, all right, I'm quiet."
Lucifer grinned again when he withdrew from him and patted his cheek.
"Good. And to come back to your question: Michael and Raphael need to talk to you too, or don't you remember the pranks you have played them?"
"Oh come on! That was an eternity ago!"
"That may be little brother, but we won't forget something like this and we never made you pay for these pranks," it came from Raphael, whose lips now curved into a small grin as well.
"Until today..." Michael ended his sentence and even in his eyes sparkled mischief.
And Gabriel's belly continued making somersaults...
"I-I'm sorry. I will never play a prank on you ever again. Can't we just leave it at that and just forget the whole thing?" Gabriel tried to save himself, but he quickly realized that he wouldn't be able to negotiate with his brothers.
"It's too late for that little brother. What's done is done and you will pay for it today!"
"Michael's right. Your behavior must have consequences and Lucifer has given us as a brilliant idea."
Even more somersaults!
"Please...don't hurt me..."
Almost immediately the shock was written on the faces of the three Archangels.
Did Gabriel really think they had come to hurt him?
Immediately they moved to his side and Lucifer took him in his arms and pressed his head against his chest and stroked him through his hair to calm him down.
"We would never hurt you Gabriel and you know it. Never!"
The words calmed the young messenger immediately and the Lightbringer noticed this, when he relaxed in his arms.
"But what are you going to do with me then?"
His brothers chuckled and this couldn't mean anything good...
"We thought it would be fun to brush up a few memories."
Gabriel raised his head and gave Lucifer a questioning look.
"What memories?"
"A couple of very special memories," Raphael said, standing now beside Lucifer.
Gabriel didn't like the direction in which this conversation just went.
"Do you remember, when you tried to hold a sword for the first time? You fell on your back and couldn't get up anymore, since it was too heavy for you."
A delicate red appeared on the cheeks of the messenger angel, when he looked at Michael, who grinned at him.
"I was still small and weak back then Michael..." he mumbled embarrassed and he wished he could erase those memories forever.
"Or the time when I have tried to show him a healing spell, which went wrong?"
Lucifer laughed because of Raphael's words as he remembered said spell.
"Your hair stood up, as if you were hit by a lightning strike."
The shade of red on Gabriel's cheeks became even stronger and he wished he would sink into the ground here and now.
He knew what his brothers were doing, because apparently they wanted to humiliate him just the same way as he had done with them, as he had played them all those mean pranks.
Growling he turned to his brother Lucifer and gave him a piercing gaze.
"And what about you Lucifer? With what do you want to humiliate me?" he snapped.
Lucifer was not intimidated by him in the least, ruffled his hair and grinned cheekily.
"I have many memories of embarrassing moments of you Gabe, thanks to Raphael and Michael who helped me remembering them. And here we are at our revenge then."
"What revenge? I thought you're already at it!"
"Oh no Gabe, that was not our revenge, but it comes now."
Another growl and Gabriel didn't let Lucifer out of his eyes.
"What is it?"
"You will try to guess our most favorite memories of you. Can you guess two right, then you've won and we leave you alone and forget about everything."
"And if I lose?"
The three Archangels grinned at him maliciously, which made God's messengers shiver again.
"Can you guess only one right, then you have lost and we will send all these embarrassing memories that we have of you to all the angels of heaven via telepathy. You know yourself how that works."
Gabriel derailed all facial features, but before he even got the chance to protest Michael interjected.
"And as a little bonus we reserve the right to tickle you as long as we want, or until we think that you have learned your lesson and that you never dare to play a prank on us ever again."
"Forget it! I will not do that!"
"If you refuse, then we will send the memories to the angels immediately and tickle you so or so. It's your choice."
"That's not fair!"
"That's the right angel speaking!"
Immediately Gabriel closed his mouth and swallowed the words he had wanted to say.
Raphael was right, because he should keep his mouth shut, since he had started with all of this, when he had played his brothers a mean prank after another and now he would pay for what he had done.
Whether he liked it or not, but he had to go through this now and perhaps he would even win this little game…
He had to guess only two memories correctly and that couldn't be that hard!
"Well, fine. I'm doing it," he muttered and his eyes focused on Raphael.
"I am sure that your favorite memory is when this spell has gone wrong, right?"
"No, little brother. That was amusing, but I still found it super funny when father has ordered you to come to him and when you ran against the door of the throne room, because you thought it was open. Even Father couldn't keep from laughing. And that's saying something."
Gabriel's face looked as if it would explode at any moment; so red it was.
He had almost forgotten this memory!
That had been so damn embarrassing...
His brothers laughed of his mishap and Lucifer grinned at him again.
"You have guessed wrong. The other two must be correct. You know what will happen otherwise."
Oh yes, Gabriel knew exactly what would happen and he wasn't looking forward to it!
He knew how bad it had been when Lucifer had caught him the last time and had tickled him until he had cried and until Michael had "saved" him. But now Michael was not on his side and even from Raphael he couldn't expect any help.
With another murmur on his lips, Gabriel turned his golden eyes to Michael, who grinned at him knowingly.
"Let me guess: Your favorite memory is when I had to save myself on a tree, as I have been followed by a group of young angels who had your sword in hands that they had taken from me a short time before, when I wanted to look at it."
Lucifer and Raphael roared with laughter and even Michael chuckled and nodded his head.
"Correct. This was by far the funniest thing I had seen at the time. The great and powerful Archangel Gabriel chased up a tree by some young fledglings. Gorgeous!"
Well at least that was right and he didn't want to wait any longer and he looked at Lucifer.
He needed to think a bit longer this time, because if he would now guess wrong...he didn't want to think about what would await him then...
"I can still remember very well how much you have laughed at me when a few young angels had managed to tie me to a tree upside down."
Lucifer laughed at the memory, but when he turned his eyes back to his little brother, he grinned so wide that his face must have hurt by now and he could see how Gabriel trembled with tension.
"That was very amusing to look at I have to admit, but unfortunately that is not my favorite memory of you."
"WHAT?! That can't be!"
"Oh, but it can. My favorite memory of you is, when you had gone to sleep, because you have been so exhausted by Michael's workout. Don't you remember how you have looked like when you have woken up again? A couple of young angels found it funny to paint your face and wings, while you were sleeping soundly and you did only notice it when I told you."
By his father!
He had completely forgotten about that!
And that meant...that he had lost!
And he would have to face his punishment now...
Before even one of them could react, Gabriel was already in motion, trying to run away from his brothers.
However, he didn't get that far, because he had to no chances to escape from them.
A loud squeal broke away from his throat, when two strong arms wrapped around his waist and lifted him up and Lucifer's cheerful laughter soon filled the air, when he pressed his little brother tightly against his chest to make sure that he wouldn't escape.
"Gotcha!" he teased, smirking.
His little brother squealed and wriggled around in his grasp and tried to free himself, but Lucifer was too strong for him and he would not let him go.
But Gabriel still fought with all his might against his big brother and even managed to cling to his hair and pull on it, which made the Lightbringer groan in pain.
"Ouch! Gabriel, stop it! That hurts!"
Gabriel laughed maliciously and pulled on his dark, curly hair again.
"Michael, Raphael...HELP!"
The other two Archangels laughed, but decided to come to their brother's rescue and soon they had managed to grab Gabriel's arms and together they dragged the messenger angel away from Lucifer and into the direction of his room.
Gabriel tried to defend himself as best as he could, flapped his golden wings wildly, tried to kick at his brothers, but nothing was working.
A few angels crossed their path and looked at them with big eyes.
"NAOMI! HELP ME!" Gabriel shouted shrilly and said angel looked at him and she shook her head, before she turned around and walked away, while muttering a "how old are these angels?" to herself.
Only a few steps separated Gabriel from his fate and before his brothers could drag him into his room, he spread his wings out, tensed the muscles in them and thus prevented that he was dragged into his room.
"Gabriel, stop that! You only hurt yourself!" Lucifer warned him and concern was audible in his voice, as he looked at the pained face of his little brother, when he tried to fight against Raphael and Michael, who still pulled relentlessly on his arms and tried to get him into the room.
A sigh rose from Lucifer's throat, followed by a roll of his eyes.
Gabriel could really be damned stubborn when he wanted to!
But he knew how he could change this...
A mischievous smile appeared on his face and he only needed to brush his fingertips over Gabriel's sides, before the Archangel flinched and laughed out loud, while he lost the strength in his wings, which Michael and Raphael used immediately to their advantage and pulled him into the room.
When Lucifer closed the door behind him, his brothers had already thrown Gabriel onto his bed and were now trying to hold him down, but the messenger still fought with all his might against them.
He kicked with his legs, flapped his wings wildly, tried to push them away with his arms, tried to get up and run away, but over and over again he was grabbed and thrown back into the sheets and eventually Raphael had managed to grab his legs and to push them down. He sat down on his shins to keep them on the bed, and before Gabriel managed to sit up and to push his big brother off of him, Michael had grabbed his wrists and pulled them now over his head and held them there.
The blonde archangel continued to fight against his brothers, but he quickly realized that he was too weak to win against them. He wouldn't be able to win, no matter how hard he tried it and it was this certainty that gave him an unpleasant tingle in his stomach, which became not better when he saw Lucifer, who looked at him with sparkling eyes and a wicked grin on lips.
"He's all yours, brother," Michael sneered with an eyebrow waggle and a smirk on his own lips.
Like a predator the Morningstar came slowly closer and closer and when he sat down at Gabriel's side, his little brother was already grinning like a Cheshire cat, when he looked up at him.
"What is wrong with you Gabriel? Did I do something funny or why are you grinning at me like that?" he teased and the grin on the face of the young messenger grew wider, if this was still in the realm of possibility.
He knew what would happen to him, knew that he couldn't free himself and he knew he had to get through this now somehow.
Just like the last time Lucifer had grabbed him and had made him pay for his pranks!
But this time it would be much, much worse, because this time it were three Archangels against one.
How unfair…
He couldn't think about it for too long, because Lucifer scooted closer to him and when he raised his hands, it broke out of Gabriel like a volcano, which also made his brothers laugh along with him.
"I haven't done anything to you yet Gabe!" Lucifer said laughing, when he looked down at this laughing and squirming mess, which was his little brother.
"Let me go!" the young messenger demanded, laughing and he gathered all his remaining strength and braced himself against Michaels and Raphael's grips, trying to free himself, but the two Archangels didn't give him free. He tried scooting away, when Lucifer stretched his hands out to him and the closer they got, the louder he laughed and the more he fidgeted.
Lucifer himself could hardly stop his own laughter and his brothers fared no differently and he was teasing Gabriel a little longer, by wiggling his fingers at him and slowly his hands approached the wriggling and writhing body in front of him. Shortly they hovered above his stomach, before they jumped up to his armpits, which frightened Gabriel so much that he winced and laughed even louder at that and he was tugging like mad at Michael's grip and tried to free his arms, but he just couldn't do it!
His big brother played this mean game a few moments longer with him, before he became serious, because he suddenly grabbed the silk belt, which was wrapped around his waist and loosened it to move up the upper part of his white angel robe, to be able to expose his upper body. Of course, he did it very slowly and not a single second he broke the eye contact to his little brother, who was already in tears; so much he laughed, while none of his brothers had touched him yet!
"Okay, okay! I got it!" he yelled, laughing, when Lucifer pulled his robe over his head and then put his fingertips on his bare arms and began to brush them down slowly.
"What did you get?" he asked teasingly and his fingertips lingered right over his armpits.
"N-no more pranks! NEVER AGAIN!"
Gabriel's last words ended in a loud squeal, when the mean fingertips stroked the tender skin under his hairless arms and stayed there.
"No more pranks you say? Well that was fast. Should we believe him?"
Raphael and Michael laughed.
"I don't believe a word of him," Raphael said with a broad grin on his lips as he turned his head and looked over his shoulder and he waggled his eyebrows, when Lucifer returned his grin.
"What about you, Michael?"
Even the warrior among them shook his head, grinning gleefully.
Lucifer turned his eyes back to his little brother's face and his grin was malicious, which made Gabriel shiver.
"Well little brother. Looks like you have to go through this now. I hope you will think twice about with whom you want to mess with in the future... "
Before Gabriel got the chance to say something, he started laughing, when those skillful fingers began to move under his arms. Only slowly, teasingly and then faster and when they moved down and started playing his ribs like an instrument, the young messenger angel arched his back, while laughing loudly and he squeezed his eyes shut so much that two little tears ran down his already pink cheeks, which made his three brothers laugh again.
"I'm sorry, what was that? I can't understand you Gabe," Lucifer said, smirking when his little brother tried to say something between his laughing fits and he bent his head down far enough that his dark, chin-length, curly hair tickled his brother's face.
"Can't you repeat your words? Or how about you stop cackling like that? Then I could understand you at least."
Gabriel replied by using his wings to hit him with them, which made Michael and Raphael laugh even louder.
This sight was simply divine!
Even Michael had to lean back a bit, to avoid being hit by those wild flapping wings, because Lucifer looked like it would hurt pretty much whenever he got hit by one of them. He had taken his hands from Gabriel's body, trying to protect himself with them now, because his little brother still attacked him and didn't want to stop.
"I-I told you to stop..." Gabriel gasped completely finished, but still with a slight grin on his lips, since he now had gotten the upper hand in this small battle.
His big brother growled, when a wing collided with his head and Lucifer did the only thing that came to his mind at that moment: He placed his palms on each wing and pushed them back down on the bed with all his strength and held them there firmly, for which he needed his full body weight. Gabriel was in spite of everything still strong and made it not easy for him to fully enjoy his revenge.
But he still had his other two brothers by his sides...
"Michael? Raphael? A little help would be nice..." he muttered.
"With the greatest pleasure," it came from Raphael and he positioned himself on Gabriel's shins that he couldn't free his legs anymore and he still had both hands free, which he immediately used to his advantage.
"NO!" his younger brother shrieked, when he realized what he was about to do, but it was already too late.
Raphael had him where he wanted him and he started to stroke his fingertips over the soft, slightly pink soles of his little brother, which made him almost jump through the roof, if they wouldn't have held him down.
Ohhh, sweet, sweet revenge...
Gabriel's slightly hysterical laughter was like music to his ears and soon he and his brothers were laughing along with him again.
The young Archangel squirmed wildly under the skilled fingers of his big brother, laughed and squealed, throwing his head back and forth, trying to pull his legs out from under him, clenched his toes, but nothing could stop Raphael. He always found ways to tease and tickle him and soon God's messenger had tears of pure joy in his eyes and he laughed so loud that his brothers were already afraid that his lungs would jump out of his throat at any moment, but fortunately this didn't happen.
"R-RAPHAEL PLEAHAHAHASE!" he pressed out between his fits of laughter and he continued trying to free himself, but he didn't make it.
"Please what?"
"S-STOP IT!"
The Healer Angel grinned and chuckled when his little brother started to squeal, when he took care of his wiggling toes in the most ticklish way possible.
"How can I stop when you are sooo cute when you are laughing like that Gabriel? You're such a cute, ticklish little angel, aren't you? You ever was and you will ever be. Coochie, coochie, coo~."
And the teasing did it now: Gabriel full on screamed!
He could never stand being tickled on his feet for too long.
Something Raphael had found out, when they had played together.
Back, when Gabriel had been a young fledgling…
While Raphael was caught in his memories of long gone times, Gabriel got more and more lost in his loud, wild laughter, which was also noted by Lucifer and Michael, who were highly amused by their little brother's cute, funny reactions.
The two Archangels looked at each other and Michael waggled his eyebrows and that was all Lucifer needed to know.
He remembered how Michael had teased him, when he had found out about his own ticklishness.
And he remembered that one of the methods Michael has used on him had also worked very well on Gabriel when he was younger.
Whether it still worked today?
There was only one way to find out...
Since Lucifer still couldn't use his arms, he left them where they were: On Gabriel's wings in order to push them down.
Slowly he bent his head down to his little brother, who was busy with hiding his red face in the crook of his arm and therefore hardly noticed anything of his surroundings.
At least not until Lucifer buried his face in the crook of his neck and growled playfully.
The loud scream, which pierced the air then, let not only Lucifer's ears ring...
"What in our Father's name was that?" Raphael wanted to know who had stopped to tickle his brother silly and had turned around to look at the other Archangels, who couldn't stop laughing anymore.
"You want to know what that was?" Lucifer asked him and his grin was about to split his face in half.
Raphael nodded with his head and he grinned as well, when Gabriel looked at Lucifer and could see how his eyes were rigid with (fake) fear, when his big brother bent his head down to him again.
"NO! Nononono pleahahahase! Not thahahat!"
Lucifer simply ignored his begging…
This time he attacked his bare belly, buried his face in the soft skin and growled like a wild animal again and when he shook his head slightly, rubbing his nose over the quivering belly underneath, the young messenger angel shrieked loudly and snorted. And again his scream echoed through the small room and he squirmed around and laughed heartily, when Lucifer didn't stop.
"L-LUCY! NOHOHOHO! STOHOHOHOP THAHAHAT PLEAHAHASE!" he begged, laughing loudly and full of joy, but his brother seemed to be deaf to his pleas.
In response Lucifer blew a fat raspberry right into his belly button and Gabriel fought so fiercely against this mean attack that he managed to free his arms from Michaels grip.
Immediately he pressed his hands against his brother's head, when he had freed his arms from his robe, which was still wrapped around his arms and tried to push him away, but Lucifer didn't move an inch. He continued blowing his evil raspberries, laughing against the skin of his brother when he screamed and snorted with laughter, while vigorously pulling on his hair and he kicked his legs so much that even Raphael had to flee to safety.
But his freedom was short-lived, when Raphael and Michael decided to help Lucifer and together they grabbed Gabriel's arms, pulled them back over his head and held them there with one hand. With their free hands they started tickling him as well.
With a knowledge only a big brother could have, they attacked every little tickle spot they could find on him. While Lucifer continued to take care of his stomach, Raphael and Michael tickled his ears and armpits, which were one of his most ticklish places, right after his stomach and his feet and soon his laughter went silent and the three had to stop their playful torture.
Completely finished with the world and still giggling cutely, Gabriel fell back and he had to take a deep breath before he was responsive again.
When he opened his eyes, he was immediately greeted by three grinning faces and he couldn't help but grin back.
"You...you are so...mean..." he gasped, totally exhausted.
"You call us mean? Really Gabriel? And what are you then?" Lucifer asked and he emphasized his words by poking his index finger into Gabriel's belly.
The young Archangel jumped, his wings twitched and he squealed again and his eyes widened when Lucifer put his hand on his stomach and was about to move his fingers.
"Okay, okay, I admit it: I was mean to you, when I have played all these pranks on you and I understood it that I should never do that ever again. Please! I won't do it ever again! I swear!"
The other three angels laughed and mischief sparkled in their eyes again and Gabriel felt how Michael and Raphael tightened their grips around his wrists.
Not a good sign!
"Oh really? So you promise us that you'll never play a prank on us ever again?"
Gabriel felt another shiver, but he nodded his head to answer Raphael's question.
"I don't know how you two see it, but I don't believe him..."
A nod from his big brothers was the answer Raphael got and Gabriel already opened his mouth and wanted to protest, when he already felt wiggling fingers under his arms and soft lips on his belly again and soon his angelic laughter echoed through the room once again.
And it would be heard for a long, long time on this day, for he knew his brothers too well and he knew how mean they could be and maybe, just maybe, he deserved this tickle attack.
Fact was certainly that he would never play his three brothers any more pranks in the future, because now he knew how this would end and he sure had learned his lesson on this day.
Especially when he suddenly felt wiggling fingers under the feathers of his wings….
The End
