“I can’t believe you know how to make chocolate chip cookies from scratch” Archie Andrews pointed out with an impressed laugh as he took one for himself. “I’ve been baking since I was a kid actually; cookies are nothing” Kevin Keller assured with a friendly smile, still trying to find the best way to navigate Archie hanging out at his house for the first time. “You can bring the plate if you want. I figured we could go upstairs and get started on the history project” Kevin suggested. “Probably a good idea…but maybe I won’t take the whole plate” Archie agreed before snagging a couple more cookies and heading up to Kevin’s room.

Kevin toed off his sneakers one at a time before sitting down on his bed and Archie followed him in, “Is it cool if I take my shoes off too?” “Go for it” Kevin answered before Archie ditched his sneakers and took a seat in Kevin’s desk chair next to the bed. “So, our presentation has to be on someone from pop culture we think had a big influence on history…any ideas?” Kevin got down to business with his notebook and pen ready to start writing but his fellow senior was adrift looking around the bedroom. “You alright, Archie?” “Oh, yeah, sorry…I just don’t think I’ve ever seen a bedroom so clean and organized” “Yeah, I like to keep things as neat as I can” “I can tell” Archie laughed, confusing Kevin on if he was making fun of him or not.

“Right, so back to the project; did you have any ideas about who to choose?” Kevin asked. “Uhh…I don’t know, maybe Elvis” “I could see that…I was thinking maybe Madonna or Walt Disney” Kevin explained. “I’ll be honest, I don’t know much about Madonna and I’m not a big Disney person but if you’re willing to lead the charge on this, I can help fill in the gaps. I wanna do my share but I have a feeling you’re gonna know way more about whoever we decide on” Archie admitted. “Yeah, I could go for that” “Cool” Archie smiled, happy to have gotten off to a good start with his former wrestling teammate.

Roughly 30 minutes later, Kevin already had a page full of bullet points for his celebrity biography portion of the project while Archie found articles to use for the historical portion until he turned his chair around to ask Kevin a question. But, he was quickly distracted by Kevin’s socked foot just barely hanging off the corner of the bed as the raven haired 18 year old sat stretched out across it. A curious smirk grew on Archie’s face and he reached out with a quick scratch up Kevin’s unsuspecting foot, getting a giggly yelp from his partner as he yanked his leg back. “Oh shit haha, I didn’t mean to scare you…I couldn’t help myself” Archie confessed with a laugh. “I didn’t peg you for much of a tickle monster” Kevin admitted as he sat up on the bed.

“I have my moments” “Right…” Kevin brushed off as if he wasn’t crazy about staying on the subject but Archie had already forgotten the question he’d planned on asking. “Ya know, I heard about the whole tickling videos thing…with Terry and what happened with Nick St. Clair” Archie explained, figuring the quick diddle up Kevin’s foot had opened the door to the subject too much to ignore it. “Yeah, turns out I could’ve been a big success in the gay tickling world” Kevin admitted, getting another laugh from Archie. “I’m not saying that to rag on you for it…it’s different but everybody’s into something, right? Hell, you seem ticklish enough for it” Archie added with another stolen tease along Kevin’s socked toes before he could pull away.

“If you’re gonna keep tickling me, you’re gonna rack up a tab” Kevin joked as he pulled his foot out of reach this time. “It beats doing research, I’ll tell ya that” Archie admitted. “Maybe we should’ve recruited you for the videos since you’re so interested” “No way haha, that’s all yours” “If I had recruited you, you probably could’ve been the James Dean of tickling or something…that is if you’re actually ticklish” Kevin teased, now with a curious look on his face as he scooted closer to Archie on his knees. “Don’t get any ideas, man!” Archie laughed, trying to halfway defend himself with a playful kick toward his project partner but Kevin caught his ankle.

Kevin flashed a quick smile toward Archie before letting his fingers fly up the socked foot, sending the jock floundering in the chair. “WwoAohAohA OKOOkAOha!” “Yeah, I think they would’ve liked you” Kevin teased as he held on tight and spidered up and down the cotton covered sole while Archie tried to yank it back. “AalLRRiIGHHTtCCoOmMEeoOON!” Archie argued with a charming, warm laugh and a look like he was surprised how ticklish he was. “Damn, here I was thinking I was the most ticklish guy in Riverdale” Kevin laughed as he let go of Archie’s ankle and he regained his composure. “Who says you’re not?” Archie challenged before lunging onto the bed and grabbing Kevin’s right ankle. “NO!” Kevin laughingly objected at the surprise retaliation and managed to force Archie off the bed but he took his foot with him.

“Dammit, Archie – don’t!” Kevin tried to convince, knowing from his time in front of the camera how bad his feet were but Archie had a firm lock on his ankle and was about to find out for himself. “AhAhANnoOAOAHOHAOH!!” Kevin erupted with the same fantastic laugh that’d made him such a prime tickle star once Archie was scribbling across the foot in his headlock. “You shouldn’t have started this if you didn’t wanna risk it backfiring on you” Archie teased while running up and down the black socked foot, Kevin’s socks even thinner than Archie’s and thusly providing less protection.

“AARrCcHhiIiEESSTTohOhHOPP!” Kevin howled with a wide smile as he writhed around on his bed but Archie quickly realized how much fun it could be to torture your friends. “Now I know why you were making the big bucks” Archie taunted before ripping the sock off and sending a wave of panic up Kevin’s body, “SHIT! NnOOaOOAaOHA!” Kevin had no choice but to fill his bedroom with even wilder laughter as Archie went crazy on the smooth sole, his fingertips moving like lightning in every direction to get the better of his buddy. Kevin’s perfectly maintained and naturally handsome feet were no match for such direct attention and Archie’s fast fingers took him right back to being tickled on camera the first time, only now he wasn’t tied down and could turn the tables.

“AAhAoOkoOHOhOOkKK!” Kevin soon shouted with a focused lurch forward to pry Archie off, forcing him to release his ankle with a quick sneak dip into his pits. “AhAH!” Archie let out with another surprised face and Kevin pulled his bare foot back before acting as fast as he could to regain the upper hand before Archie could. With one quick reach down, Kevin wrangled both of Archie’s legs and pulled them onto the bed where the ankles were quickly locked between Kevin’s own legs. “I thought we were working on the project!” Archie argued like he thought the impromptu tickle fight was over but Kevin proved him wrong by grabbing the toes of his gray and white socks and pulling on them until they slipped off. “Kevin, come on! You’re way more ticklish than me, just let it go, man” Archie tried to persuade just before Kevin went after the now naked pair in his lap.

“AAhAohASShhIIITTAohAOhA!! AhANNOoNNOAOHA!! SSTtoHOHOHOPPP!!” Archie came alive with newfound urgency in his eyes at the vengeful fingers dancing all over his peach soles. “I guess those socks made a big difference” Kevin pointed out while zeroing in on the arches of both macho feet. “GgGEEETTTOOOoOOOfFF!!” Archie shouted while trying to reach up and intervene but Kevin had too firm of a lock to be escaped so easily. “Too bad I didn’t know how ticklish your feet were when we wrestled together; that would’ve made things interesting” Kevin teased as he scratched along the satin middles of both feet and kept Archie laughing his head off on the floor. “CCoOmMEeOOONNN MMmAAaAnNN!” Archie argued the best he could, in disbelief at how ticklish he was turning out to be. He couldn’t remember the last time he’d been tickled but with feet as hot and sensitive as his, Kevin was quickly proving just how right he was about Archie’s lost potential as a tickle star.

“If you like that, you’ll love this” Kevin warned before invading Archie’s lean toes with quick scribbles along the soft undersides. “AhAhaANNoOOO!! LlLEeAAVVEemMyYyTTooOEESSAALLOoONnEEDDuUUDDEE!” Archie objected the best he could while pulling at the duvet on Kevin’s bed for dear life. “Told ya” Kevin teased while keeping his legs locked firmly around Archie’s ankles as he went to town on the taffy pink toes, recalling how lethal his own were and how they’d been the one spot every professional tickler used to go after when they wanted a really big reaction from him. Archie’s cheeks grew red from such extended laughter and Kevin had seemingly embraced his ‘ler’ side, even holding back Archie’s toes to really scratch along them.

“AHahOOOkKOOKAohAOHA!! KkEeVVviINNNCCOOhOOMMMEEoOONN!” Archie roared with sharp outbursts every few seconds but it only got worse when he felt something slip between his toes. “Kevin, what is that?! What are you doing to my toes?!” “Just a trick I learned a while back” Kevin vaguely answered before pulling the discarded crew sock back and forth between two of Archie’s tender toes. “WWOOAohAOhAOhWWHhAATThhHEEHhEELL?!?! SSTTOhOHOPP!! AoAOhasSTToHOOHOPPIIITT!!” Archie raged until he was holding his stomach from the extreme ab workout he was being subjected to but Kevin just kept going and soon threaded the dirty sock between two more toes to wreak just as much havoc once more.

“AhAhAHANNOOnNAohAOHA!! NNoOOmMmoOoORREE!!” Archie shouted through his own overflowing laughter as he continued pulling at the duvet until it finally paid off, taking Kevin down with it onto the floor and freeing Archie’s bare feet from Kevin’s surprisingly vicious hold. Kevin tried to scramble to his feet but was quickly tackled back onto the carpeted floor by Archie, obviously out for his own revenge this time. “Truce! I shouldn’t have used your sock like that! I’m sorry!” Kevin laughingly tried to diffuse in hopes of deterring Archie but the former wrestler proved he still had some moves by forcing Kevin onto his stomach, sitting across his back, and locking his knees around Kevin’s arms so he couldn’t fight back.

Archie took full advantage of his position and sank into the back of Kevin’s thighs with powerful squeezes, “AAhAoAOANOOnNOoAOhAOhAOhA!!” Archie laughed at how much heavier the bubbly laughter was coming from Kevin now and continued chomping up and down his legs for a few minutes until he reached down and grabbed both ankles to bring the bare feet up to him and peeled the last sock clean off. “Archie, no! This isn’t fair!” “Come on, Kev, don’t be a sore loser” Archie teased before holding the ankles with one hand and going straight for Kevin’s naked toes with the other. “AAhAOhAOHAOAHSSShHiIiIITT! aAohAOHSStTohOOPP!” came gushing out of Kevin as he fought against the impressive pin but Archie just held on tight and concentrated on spidering along his toes, drifting back and forth across both soft rows.

“I’d probably tap out if I were you right now” Archie encouraged while watching the helpless toes wiggling in front of him with hopeless attempts to avoid his fingers. “AAhAohDDAAmMMIiITTAARRcCChHiIIEE JjUUUSSTTGGEETToOOFf!” “Nah, that’s not it” Archie pointed out before grabbing Kevin’s big toes in his hand and forcing them back to make the rest of his soles taut and his smaller toes less mobile. He couldn’t see the horrified look on Kevin’s face at the development but soon heard him freak out when his knees locked around the legs and his free hand unleashed on the terrifyingly vulnerable feet. “AAAHAHAHAaAAoAOAHACCoOOMMEEOOONN!!” Kevin shook his room with forced laughter as Archie alternated between scribbling on his soles and clawing along the pads of his toes, subjecting Kevin to a combo attack he didn’t know Archie was capable of.

“Ready to give up now?” “AhAohAOhOOKOOkAOhAOHAA JJuuUUSSTtSSSTtOhoHOpPP!” Kevin gave in with borderline begging, knowing he could probably last longer due to his experience but he hated the idea of enduring anymore than he had to, especially for some petty tickle wrestling match. “What was that?” Archie questioned as if he hadn’t heard him clearly, even jumping back to his toes with tight, evil rakes along the tender undersides to make sure Kevin didn’t backtrack.

“IiIGGiIiVVEEUuUPPPP!! AAlLLRIIIGGHHTT!! EenNNnOUUuGGHH!!” “That’s what I thought” Archie answered with a smirk on his face before letting the legs go and standing up to free Kevin from the hold. “That was bullshit” Kevin added as he caught his breath and sat up. “I guess all those wrestling practices paid off, huh?” Archie teased as he helped Kevin up. “Part of me would be interested to see somebody pull that in an actual match” “Coach would probably have a stroke” Archie laughed before they headed to the kitchen for a snack, both of them now in need of some more fuel after the draining tickle fight.

The next day in history class, a movie was shown on the projector, a film about various historical figures of pop culture like the ones they were doing projects on. Archie sat behind Kevin per usual in the vertical row of desks but as the documentary played, Archie couldn’t resist teasing his partner. The studious Kevin sat fully attentive to the movie on screen, always prepared for a pop quiz or assessment on days like this but Archie wasn’t nearly as concerned. With their seats toward the side of the room and the movie showing up front, nobody really paid much attention to them, allowing Archie to reach down and grab the heel of Kevin’s sneaker and tug the shoe off undetected.

A surprised Kevin had to stop himself from reacting like he wanted, silencing his demand for his shoe back out of fear of drawing all the class’s attention to him. His dark blue socked foot retreated under his other foot to avoid anyone noticing he was only wearing one shoe and he began to blush with a bit of nerves. “Give me back my shoe…” he whispered as quietly as he could toward the window but Archie just snickered to himself at how funny it was to toy with his always perfectly put together classmate. Kevin sighed at the lack of response and tried to focus on the movie while hiding his shoeless foot but a few minutes later, he felt the edge of his sock being pulled and before he could retract his leg, Archie yanked the sock right off.

Kevin looked instantly more uncomfortable and quietly flustered at being barefoot in class. His feet weren’t anything to be shy about, in fact they were gorgeous but it made him feel very out of place and vulnerable in a way, almost as if it hindered his ability to perform well in class. “Give me back my damn sock!” Kevin demanded with a stronger whisper this time but Archie didn’t reply, too humored by watching Kevin squirm, knowing he was probably praying nobody realized he’d suddenly lost a shoe and sock. Kevin’s supple pink sole and perfectly kept tops were on full display for any wandering eye to see and he was on edge because of it but Archie’s mischievous side wouldn’t rest, soon stretching his leg up closest to the wall to dig into Kevin’s side a bit but to his surprise, Kevin caught his ankle like he had the day before.

Archie’s confident grin quickly melted into anxious anticipation as he tried to kick his foot free but he’d given Kevin a reason to fuck with him right back. Without ever even looking away from the screen, Kevin unlaced Archie’s shoe and soon popped it off while holding on tight to prevent losing his target. Archie tried to control himself the best he could as his leg writhed around and tried to get away but Kevin wasn’t budging, shocking Archie again when he peeled the sock from his foot and left him just as vulnerable as Kevin was. “Give my foot back!” Archie whispered as casually as he could. “You started it” Kevin reminded before doing the exact thing Archie hoped wouldn’t happen. A single finger started running up and down his bare foot, forcing Archie to clench his jaw and grab his desk.

The rest of Kevin’s body didn’t even move as he held the ankle in place and strummed along the smooth, warm sole but Archie couldn’t help but fidget in his desk, struggling to keep his mouth shut with the retaliatory tickling. Kevin could hear Archie straining to not laugh and his other foot trying to kick his trapped one free but nothing worked and after about a minute, Kevin let the rest of his fingers join in for a full-blown raking. Archie’s eyes looked like they’d pop out his head and he squirmed in the desk with laughter bubbling up in his throat, unable to even open his mouth to tell Kevin to stop out of fear of exploding. Kevin looked back just once as if he’d seen something through the window to see Archie red-faced and tight-lipped as he kept tickling, putting a smile on the straight-A student’s face.

Everyone’s attention was either on the movie or they were asleep but all it took was Kevin exploring Archie’s toes to get all eyes on him. “AhAHANnOOO!” Archie let out in an embarrassing outburst and the whole class looked over at him, some laughing and others trying to figure out what’d caused him to laugh like such a maniac out of nowhere. Kevin casually dropped his foot and Archie sat up straight in his desk to try and act like nothing happened, even attempting to fake clear his throat to explain the outburst. “Mr. Andrews, are you ok?” the teacher asked. “I’m fine, just got choked up for a second” Archie tried to assure with a quick smile and Kevin slipped on his sock and shoe while everyone was too busy watching Archie, blushing and trying to hide the fact that he too was strangely missing a shoe and sock for no apparent reason.

That afternoon, Kevin and Archie were back at the Keller house working on their project, mostly just putting the finishing touches on their PowerPoint and figuring out who was going to read what for their presentation. “So are you cool with just going back and forth on the historical points? Or we can divide it up if you want” Kevin asked from his desk. “I’m fine with going back and forth; if I keep talking for too long I’ll start reading the same line over and over” Archie admitted as he relaxed back onto his elbows on Kevin’s bed. “Alright, great” “We should be fine as long as you don’t tickle me in class again” Archie pointed out with a playful kick to Kevin’s chair.

“You started with me; don’t be mad I turned it on you” Kevin reminded with a flashy smile as he turned his attention away from his computer. “Yeah and I had to act like it wasn’t weird that I was randomly only wearing one shoe and sock” Archie complained. “Who knows, maybe somebody in class has a thing for feet and you made their day” Kevin teased, earning him another kick of the desk chair but Kevin reminded him how quick he was by grabbing his ankle. “No way! You’re not pulling that shit again!” Archie refused as he yanked his leg back and Kevin tried to hold on but was only able to catch his sock, ripping it off in the process.

Accidentally pulling the sock off made Kevin lose his balance and land back in his desk chair but unlike before, Archie got the jump on him and quickly lunged forward to grab Kevin’s legs and drag them onto the bed before wrapping his arm around the ankles. “NO! Archie, come on!” Kevin objected as he writhed around on the floor, trying to scramble and stop his partner before he could prey on his socked feet but he was too late. “AhAhAhAHGgHOhAohAoAhAOH!” Kevin couldn’t help but spew with charismatically raucous laughter thanks to Archie unleashing on the feet trapped in his headlock.

“How’s it going down there, buddy?” Archie mocked while scribbling as viciously as he could across the cotton covered soles, just as barely protected as they had been earlier that week by another pair of thin socks. “SSTToOhoHPPPP!” “Stop? That doesn’t sound like a submission to me” Archie answered with a delightfully devilish grin before grabbing the edge of both socks and peeling them off before Kevin could even try and hold on with his toes. “Shit! Come on! We have to finish the project!” “It seemed pretty finished to me” Archie countered before going straight for his toes this time and shocking the preppy senior. “AAhAHAHANNOOOO!” Kevin’s reaction came roaring out with panic on his handsome face as Archie scratched along the undersides and even the bubbly ends of his creamy pink toes.

“Damn, these are some ticklish toes!” Archie taunted while dominating both rows and forcing out some wonderfully desperate laughter from Kevin as he writhed around on the floor against the bed. “AhAohaFFuUuCCkKKYYOOUU! aohAohAohAAGGEEtTtoOOOFFF!” Archie laughed at Kevin’s usual composure being so unraveled by tickling of all things and pushed deeper to get at the parts of his toes where they met the balls before giving that spot his full attention. “NNooAOhAOhAOhAOHAOhSSHHIiIITT!” Kevin raged with cartoonishly frantic laughter, still trying his best to fight back or escape but the tickling was proving incredibly difficult to power through.

“Just tap out…I don’t want you to start crying on me” Archie teased while tormenting the almost squishy toes. “OoKOOKK! AohAOhaYyOooUuWWIIINN! IiIGGiIiVVEeUUUPP!” Kevin shouted like he couldn’t take anymore and Archie let his ankles go with a triumphant smile before sitting up on his knees and looking over the bed to see how bad he’d gotten Kevin. But by the time he went to admire his damage, Kevin wasn’t there. “What the hell…? Kevin?” Archie asked as he looked around moments before Kevin sprang up from the opposite side of the bed and snagged Kevin’s legs to pull them to him.

“What?! Where did you come from??” Archie laughingly asked as he tried to wriggle away. “You’re just too slow!” Kevin teased while sitting across the back of Archie’s ankles on the edge of the bed but Archie proved he in fact wasn’t too slow, quickly grabbing one of Kevin’s own ankles and securing the left bare foot as his target again in his go-to headlock. Kevin looked back with an understanding of his advantage slipping away and practically tore off Archie’s dirty socks to strike first but by the time he had the pair of athletic bare feet in front of him, Archie was making contact with Kevin’s stolen foot and they attacked at the same time.

“AAhAOhAOHAFFuUuCCKK!” rang out of Archie harder than he would’ve liked as Kevin showed no mercy on his lean soles but Kevin was already letting out full-body laughter from Archie returning to Kevin’s delectable toes. “CCoOMMmEEOOONN!! GGIIIvVEIiITTuUPP!” Kevin tried to convince with his efforts far messier than usual but Archie wasn’t prepared to surrender after already earning a submission. “AhAohAAIIiAALLRREAADDyYWWOOONN!” Archie reminded through his forced smile but Kevin was more seasoned as a ticklee and could handle it better than Archie, allowing the clean-cut 18 year old to launch a fresh assault on the fleshy toes sitting in front of him.

“NNOOAoOAHAOHA!! SSHIiITTkKEEVViIINN!!” Archie couldn’t help but howl with new intensity as Kevin focused on the undersides of both sets as brutally as he could, even getting between random neighboring toes every few seconds to make the Riverdale ‘it’ boy yelp with sudden overload each time. Archie’s prowess as a tickler was just as muddled as Kevin’s during the standoff but he held his own with just half of the target Kevin had, grabbing Kevin’s comb from his desk with a devious smile and sawing the plastic bristles across the bubbly toes. “AAAHAHaHWWhAATTHHEEFFuUUCCCkK?!” Kevin sprang up off the bed with a violent eruption and Archie took the opportunity to yank one of his feet free, evening the playing field. “WWhhAATTiiISsTtHhHAAT?!” Kevin tried to figure out with confused desperation in his voice but Archie didn’t answer, content on letting him suffer and try to guess what was wrecking his perfect toes so well.

Kevin floundered and could hardly get back to his prior standing with the comb’s teeth brushing back and forth across his poor toes but he hated the idea of Archie out-tickling him twice in one day, motivating Kevin to pull the one trick he hated more than anything during his tickle shoots. He moved back on Archie’s leg so he was sitting on the back of his knee and bent his leg so the foot was closer to his face and secured in his arm before leaning forward and snaking his tongue between Archie’s savory toes. “AAHAHAHAhAAkKKEEVViINN!” Archie squealed with unique shock and dropped the comb as he lost his ability to tickle all together. He looked back with wild eyes to see Kevin licking between his toes and along the bottoms like he’d skipped lunch and it tickled worse than anything Archie could’ve imagined, a complete virgin to having a mouth anywhere near his toes.

“AOHAoAHOOKOoOHKKK!!” Archie shouted with heightened desperation and unhinged laughter but Kevin wasn’t accepting his victory just yet, instead using his knees to lock around the leg and spread his toes with his hands to better lick between them. “AAHAHAOHAASSTTOHOOHOHPPP!!” Archie came unglued until he was pounding on the bed and flailing around like he belonged in a straitjacket. “IIiGGIIiVVEEuUPPP!! PPLLlEEAAASEE SSTTOhOHPPP!!” The surrender was sincere and a last resort for him and Kevin could tell, convincing him to relinquish Archie’s foot.

“Fuck…” was all Archie said as he rolled onto his back on the bed and Kevin stood up to grab a piece of gum from his dresser, “I didn’t think I’d be doing that today” Kevin admitted with a light laugh. “Where did that come from? That’s some kinky shit, man” Archie asked in disbelief. “You think fingers and feathers are the only thing professional ticklers use on people? But you used what, a comb on me?” Kevin answered while looking down to see it lying on the floor. “A comb and a tongue are two very different things” “You have a point there” Kevin agreed before sitting down at his desk and Archie sat up on the bed catching his breath.

“Is this kind of thing going to happen every time we hang out now?” Archie asked. “Well we’re basically finished with the project…” “You’ve licked my toes, man, I think we’re more than project partners by now” Archie added with a laugh as he went around to grab his discarded socks. “Yeah, I would be alright with hanging out again without having to use my special skills haha. Besides, after going through all the people we could’ve done for our report, there are a lot of movies I need to catch you up on” “Haha deal” Archie agreed before they looked over their presentation one last time to assure it was as good as it could be.

Roughly a week later Kevin and his cousin, Lenny were enjoying some mediocre cherry pie at a diner just outside of Riverdale. Lenny, Kevin’s older cousin by a few years worked at a hotel in town at the front desk, often giving him discounts on rooms whenever Kevin and his boyfriend needed a getaway. “So how’s work been? I know that’s a boring question but I like hearing your guest horror stories” Kevin asked. “Well I’ve got one for you” “Tell me everything” “There’s this kid that’s been staying there the past couple days, around your age I’d say and it’s weird; I’ve never seen his parents but he has a platinum credit card he puts everything on. There’s no way it’s his but he walks around like he owns the hotel” Lenny explained, humoring Kevin.

“What do you mean?” “He called down to the front desk his first night and wanted a bottle of Grey Goose and a pair of warmed slippers” “Warmed slippers?” Kevin laughed. “Right? Where the hell does he think he is? We don’t have that top shelf kind of liquor and I don’t even know what warmed slippers means; am I supposed to put them on and warm them up for him?” Lenny continued, making Kevin nearly choke on his pie. “But the worse part is that when I told him I didn’t have either one of those, I got a call from my boss about a half hour later saying there’d been a complaint against me” “Really??” “Really. That little shit got me in trouble over a bottle of vodka and some slippers” “Man, he does sound awful” “He also asked if we had any more attractive maids that could clean his room instead of our usual ones” “What? The hell is his problem?” “I don’t know but thankfully I think he’s leaving by the end of the weekend.”

“Did you catch his name? Maybe I know him from around town or something” Kevin asked. “St. Cloud…or St.Clark, something like that” “St. Clair?” “Yeah! That’s it” “No way. Does he have kind of wavy black hair and look like he might’ve bullied you in high school?” “Sounds like you do know him” Lenny realized. “It’s Nick St. Clair! Oh, I hate that guy” “You two have history or something? Bad hookup?” “No, it wasn’t like that but yeah, he’s a dick” Kevin explained. “A dick who likes his slippers warmed up apparently” “Maybe I could help you get back at him a little for being such a jerk to you guys” “What are you talking about?” Lenny asked. “If you let me borrow a key to his room, I know a way to take him down a peg” “How so?” “Consider it a sort of prank; the only thing it’d hurt would be his ego” Kevin explained as Lenny contemplated the idea. “I think that could be arranged…”

Friday night, around 11 p.m., Kevin and Archie made their way down to the 4th floor of the hotel as casually as they could. They knew Nick’s room was 408 and stopped just short of his door, both of them a bit anxious about such a bold move despite their enthusiasm. “I’m starting to second guess this thing, man” Archie admitted. “Maybe you’re right…this was a crazy idea” Kevin agreed as he lost his nerve just before a woman walked out of 408, clearly upset and with her heels in her hand. “Are you ok?” Kevin asked. “No, that asshole in there humiliated me!” she explained. “What do you mean?” “Forget it, I should’ve known better...everybody knows Nick’s a bastard anyway” she added before walking past them toward the elevator.

Archie and Kevin exchanged a look of understanding after being reminded just how much Nick deserved to be fucked with. “Let’s get him” Archie decided and Kevin put his ear against the door, hearing the shower running. He used the room key Lenny had given him and the pair slipped in before putting a ‘do not disturb’ sign on the door. After a few minutes, they both hid outside the bathroom door, waiting as he turned the water off and walked out in just a towel around his waist. “NOW!” Kevin shouted the moment he stepped back into the main part of the room and they pounced on him with the duvet they’d stolen off the bed.

“What the fuck!?! Get off me!! What the hell is this!?!” Nick demanded to know as he struggled against them but was quickly wrapped up in the thick blanket and taken to the carpeted floor. “Let me go, assholes!” St. Clair shouted before Archie and Kevin moved into his line of sight, looking down on him on either side. “You guys?! The hell are you doing?!? Are you trying to get sued??” “No, we just figured we’d pay you a visit while you were in town” Archie answered with a smirk. “Yeah, and make sure you never come back” Kevin added before they both moved into position.

“HEY! What are you talking about?? Let me outta this shit NOW!” the spoiled 18 year old demanded with steady jerks to free himself but they’d tucked the ends in tight to prevent any premature escape. Archie straddled his stomach to face him and immediately snuck a few fingers into the very top of his armpits left open by the duvet, shocking St. Clair. “AoOAohAWWhhAATThHeEEfFFuUUCKK!?! NnNoOTTAAAGGAAIINN!!” Nick raged with a surprised horror on his face at the realization of what they had planned. “I heard you were pretty ticklish…I guess that’s right” Archie teased while digging into his underarms with just a couple fingers on each side and already forcing explosive outbursts out of Nick.

Kevin straddled his ankles to face Nick’s exposed bare feet, fresh and clean straight out of the shower. “Yeah he’s super ticklish but his feet were always the worst” Kevin pointed out as he started raking up from the heels and shooting Nick’s laughter up a few notches. “AAAHAhAHAFFuuUCCCkkoOOoOFFF!! IIMmGGoONNnKKIlLYYOouUGGUUYyySS!!” St. Clair howled with sudden, reluctant panic in his voice as Kevin clawed along his admittedly nice feet, with Nick’s lush soles unable to stand the short nails working them over. The notorious womanizer shook and bucked in the wrap but all he could do was squirm in place and laugh, already getting red in the face as they punished his incredibly ticklish body.

“Maybe you should’ve gone into the tickle video business, Nick…you’re certainly ticklish enough and you even laugh like a little girl” Archie taunted, recalling how he’d treated Veronica. “AOHAFFuUuCCkKyYOOUU!!” was all Nick could think to say as they undermined his superior attitude and cocky mouth, forcing him to endure the one weakness he couldn’t throw money at or threaten his way out of. Archie’s tight fingers almost curled around the sides of Nick’s pale chest to really get him going crazy but it was Kevin that was really burning him up, now scratching with short intervals up and down the soft pink soles as they wrinkled and fought to get away.

“He actually may be too ticklish for the tickle videos…most customers want somebody who can take it; not act like a pussy” Kevin rubbed in while focusing on his arches. “AAOhAOHAMMmOOOTThHHEERfFFuUUCCkKEERR!! GGEETTooOOFFmMMMEE!!!” Nick shouted with fiery frustration but his anger just fueled the duo’s tickle attack, knowing that the madder he got, the better of a job they were doing. Kevin’s short, maddening strokes quickly became an all-out scribbling assault on the pale feet and Nick erupted with volcanic laughter. “AAAHAHAHAHANNOONNOOO! AohAOhAAFFuUUCCkKIiiNNnGGSSTTOHOHOPPP!!” His wild reaction and the hilarious look on Nick’s face distracted Archie from his own tickling, seriously entertained by how severely ticklish St. Clair continued to be. “Oh my God, dude…this is insane” Archie laughed as he watched Nick’s head bob around and his wavy hair fly back and forth.

“Hey, Archie, come help me with something down here” Kevin suggested and Archie left the upper body to join his partner. “NnOOOO!! LlLEETMMmeEgGGOHOHO!!” St. Clair argued but of course didn’t deter the Riverdale boys. Archie sat next to Kevin just in time to see him tied Nick’s big toes together with a tie he’d found in the closet, “Wow, I guess you learned a few things during your time as a tickle star” “You could say that” Kevin answered after finished up and grabbing the belt he’d stolen from the other complimentary robe that came with the room. “What’s the belt for?” “You’ll see; just get his soles for me” Kevin instructed as he moved his legs around so they were crossed under Nick’s ankles, leaving his naked feet up off the floor a little.

“LET ME GO! I swear to God you two are fucked when I get out of hereeRAaohAOhAohAohAOAH!!” Nick shrieked with audible horror as Kevin started flossing the white robe belt between a set of toes from each foot and Archie scratched along the heels and sides of his feet at the same time, shocking the entitled troublemaker. “Holy shit! He’s going nuts back there” Archie laughed as he concentrated on the pampered soles in front of him, now unable to even try and protect each other thanks to the tie around his plump big toes. “That’s the point” Kevin answered as they both let their devious sides run wild.

Kevin pulled the cloth belt back and forth between the middle sets of toes with quick and yet somehow patient back and forths after picking up on just the right rhythm to get the loudest laughter possible. But after a few minutes, Kevin stuck it between another four toes and started back sawing again, pumping out another marathon of distraught laughter and threats of ass-kickings and jail time. “GGGGEETTOOoOFFMMMEE!! AOhAoAOhAOOhAOhAGGOoODDAAMMmiiITT!!” St. Clair yelled with more desperation than he had when he’d been tickled and blackmailed; that paled in comparison to this. “The people in the other rooms are gonna think the worst if they hear him squawking like that” Archie pointed out. “Don’t worry, my cousin took care of it” Kevin assured as he finessed the belt between Nick’s buttery toes and Archie started raking along the top halves of his soles to really give the rich balls some quality attention.

Archie seemed to really lean into his tickler side the longer they tormented Nick, scratching along his supple soles with a sinister glee in his eye like he’d found his new favorite thing. “Maybe we should see how he likes getting his feet licked?” Archie soon suggested with an eager smirk. “Good idea” Kevin agreed and moved around so he was facing the trapped feet. “What are you doing?! Undo this shit NOW!” Nick demanded like he couldn’t stand being in the same ticklish position again but he got the shock of his privileged life when Kevin started flicking his tongue along the left foot. “AAAH! WWHAATTIIiSSTTHHAAT!?!? WWWhhAATTiIISSSTThhAATT?!” Nick shrieked with confused panic, unable to tell it was Kevin licking all over his feet but for a pair as sensitive as his, the sensation was ungodly. “Oh yeah, he loves it” Archie pointed out with a laugh at Nick’s wild reaction and watched Kevin’s enthusiastic tongue slip and slide with quick swivels back and forth between both picturesque soles.

“How do they taste?” Archie asked. “Not as good as yours” Kevin answered, getting a somewhat proud grin from his partner as he enjoyed his front row seat to Nick’s first lickling. “Here, you have a go at it” Kevin soon suggested after leaving the feet nice and glossy. “Me? I don’t know…this is more your territory than mine” Archie pointed out. “Come on, they’re even all cleaned up for you, fresh out the shower” Kevin insisted while Archie eyed the inviting feet in front of him. “NO! Motherfucker! Leave my feet alone!” St. Clair forbid with fiery outbursts but knowing how much he hated getting his feet licked only persuaded Archie to give it a shot.

“Well, there’s a first time for everything” Archie concluded before taking the ankles in his hands and leaning forward to start slinking his tongue across the right toes and even dipping between them. “OOoaohAohANNOOnNOO!! FFuUuCCkKIiNNGSSTTHOHOP!” “You’re a natural” Kevin encouraged while Archie grew increasingly more comfortable, licking the right row clean only to move onto the left ones with a heightened appetite. His tongue seemed to be even meaner than Kevin’s as it slurped up the bubblegum pink toes and snaked between them and Nick screamed with heated, angry laughter while Kevin started teasing the pale tops with spidering fingertips at the same time. “AhAOhAOHAGGEETTOOOOFFmmYYyYFFEEETT FFRREEEAAKK!!” St. Clair shouted as he shook in place and fought his duvet prison but Archie was shaping up to be a serous tickle monster, embracing that part of him he’d never really let loose until hanging out with Kevin.

Nick St. Clair was used to getting his way, having everyone agree with im or answer to him but Kevin and Archie couldn’t be ordered around or manipulated. The first time he’d been tricked and tickled had left him with a bad taste for pedicures or even a back massage so to have his toes tied up in a bow with his own tie, being wrapped up totally defenseless, and Archie Andrews of all people now licking all over his helpless feet was one of the worst scenarios he could’ve ever dreamed of. “Hey, why don’t we both take a foot?” Archie suggested a few minutes later, the sound of which nearly stopped Nick’s heart. “Hell yeah!” Kevin happily obliged and they sat next to each other before their tongues went to town on the velvet soles juicy toes like their own personal buffet, making their arrogant hostage scream with ticklish overload and giving him a lasting reminder of why he should never set foot in Riverdale again.
