sad bad end s5 jon and tim on a monster road trip



[Algric had given the trio a fair warning of what was happening. Not the specific details of what he was coming from, but he was from a little further along Algric's timeline, and came through Hilltop Road. Never pleasant, but he's here now. IT took a few days of settling, readjusting, and putting some firm self-imposed boundaries on himself before Jon felt comfortable enough to see the others.

After a few minutes of surprise and staring, Jon ends up sitting alone with Tim for a few minutes; the others having some things to take care of themselves. He sits there, fiddling a bit with his fingers, trying not to be self conscious. He can't do anything about the myriad of different, newer scars, nor about his black sclera or so many other things about himself now.

But god... Tim. Alive and not shouting at him right this second. How novel.]

Tim... I.. [Where does he even start.]

[ Another laugh. ]

Okay, okay, you've made your point.

[eyediot]

Have I? I'm not entirely sure yet....

[He does look downright devious though.

Does Algric dare, y/n]

[curriculum_fictae]

[ He is deeply uncertain, yes. ]

Oh? What aren't you sure about?

[eyediot]

If I've really made my point.

[He's smaller. He could tickle so much.]

[curriculum_fictae]

[ He really could. There's so much more of Algric to tickle. ]

Mm, I don't think you have.

[eyediot]

Then I suppose I should try.

[Starting with just barely dragging fingertips along the skin at the back of Algric's neck. Right where his hair starts.]

[curriculum_fictae]

[ Oh god okay, that already gets Algric to stifle a laugh. ]

[eyediot]

[Oh, that grin is downright devilish now. He leans in and just. Lets those tickles move down to Martin's sides.]

[curriculum_fictae]

H-hey! Hey! That's - u-unfair!

[ Yeah he's laughing helplessly now, swatting at Jon. ]

[eyediot]

Oh? Is it?

[Even with the swatting, he only stops for a moment before finding somewhere else to tickle. This is adorable, Algric is adorable.]

[curriculum_fictae]

[ RUDE JON. Algric can't even respond, he's laughing too hard. ]

[eyediot]

[It's all right, he stops after a moment, holding Algric's sides.]

Adorable.

[curriculum_fictae]

O-out of your system yet?

[eyediot]

Is what out of my system?

[curriculum_fictae]

Tickling me, Jon.

[eyediot]

[Jonah rests his chin on Algric, smiling up at him.]

For now.

[curriculum_fictae]

[ Algric just tugs him in closer with a smile. ]

You know this means I need to get revenge.

[eyediot]

OH, do you? And what does revenge look like?

[curriculum_fictae]

Not sure just yet. I'll have to figure that out first.

[eyediot]

Let me know when you do.

[For now, he's quite pleased to be using Algric as his pillow.]

[curriculum_fictae]

[ And Algric just ... curls in that much closer. Watching the snow fall. ]

If - if you'd told me a year ago I'd be here, like this, with you, I'd have laughed in your face.

[eyediot]

[He smiles at that, pulling him in nuzzling at his curls.]

If you'd told me a year ago, I probably wouldn't have reacted.

[Get it. He was dead a year ago.]

[curriculum_fictae]

[ Ow, Jon. He does, but he doesn't like it. ]

Really ...

[eyediot]

It's the truth.

[He squeezes his sides again.]

I-i know what you meant.

[curriculum_fictae]

... I know what you meant too. But I hate thinking about it. Worst - worst time of my life.
