Laughing With A Girl

You awoke much earlier than the two ladies that slept at your side and instead went to wander around in the castle. You were correct in that it was the next morning but it definitely didn't feel that way with how dark it still was outside. The storm itself was still going on in full **** and you kept wondering for the longest time just how long a storm of this magnitude can really last.

Deciding you'd like to go to that same balcony you were at earlier when you all watched the storm roll in just to take a look outside and see how the Syndicate is holding up. With a glass of water in your hand and a giant piece of bread in the other you make your way through the castle. Stepping over many pillows, blankets and bodies from the thousands of people that have swarmed to the castle for extra safety from the storm.

"Hi Darien!" a voice from a different hallway lets out as you turn to see your black haired High Commander.

"Good morning, Zoe." you give her a smile as you wave her over "Going to the balcony to see what's happened outside, care to join?"

"Of of of coooursseee!" she is full of so much more energy this morning.

"Well you're much more chipper this morning, it seems you got a good nights sleep?"

"Yup yup! No drinking last night and never again!" she sticks her tongue out at you "It makes you do funny things and makes you feel bad the next day. Yuck! No fun!" she steps to your side and throws her arm around yours causing you to stumble a bit and spill a bit of your water "Oopsie!" she smiles.

The two of you walk back towards the balcony that you all sat at the other night and when you make it to the door you slowly push it open. Lucky for you it appears the wind has died down quite a lot but the sky was still as dark as could be while rain was still blanketing down from the skies. "Wow, still going hard..." you grumble out as the two of you walk out on the covered balcony to take a better look into the Syndicate.

Side by side you walk up to the balcony and look down into the Syndicate and see a layer of water coating the entire streets. Many of the houses that are on ground level most likely have a sheet of water through out their entire main floor and you could only imagine how much stuff is going to be destroyed or too waterlogged to save. "This is a disaster..." you mumble out, barely audible over the heavy downpour "It's going to take so much to clean and fix all this up."

"And it's still going!" Zoe remarks "What if he doesn't end for a loooong time!"

You finish your piece of bread before you then just rub your hand all over your face and look off into the Syndicate "I hope this ends soon...this is ridiculous." you grumble out.

"Oh cheer up, Darien! It's just a little bit of rain! It'll be okay." she smiles at you.

"I know but...If we have to stay cooped up in this castle for much longer I"m going to go crazy." you retort "I want to train!"

Zoe just looks at you as you stare off into the Syndicate. "Hmmm." you hear her ponder before you feel both her hands on your forearm and she pushes you really hard to the side.

"Whoaaaaa!" you yelp as you step to the side and almost topple over onto the ground "What the hell, Zoe?!" you turn and look at her with big eyes.

"Stop being such a downer!" she sticks her tongue out at you before almost dancing on her feet to hop over to you again. "Stop stop stop!" she taps your chest with her index finger before placing both her hands on your chest and pushing you backwards.

It actually causes you to lose your balance and fall backwards on your butt "Ouch! ZOE!" you scream at her as you immediately push yourself up to your feet again.

She just closes her eyes, gives you the biggest toothy smile she can muster and shakes her head back and forth.

"What's wrong with you." you jest "You're so annoying."

"And you're so depressing!" she hops back over to you and goes to push you again.

This time you only take a step back to regain your balance. "Stop!"

Again, she playfully moves up to you and goes up with her arms towards your chest to push you one more time. But you've had enough, with your right hand you grip her wrist and twirl Zoe around on her feet until her back is facing you. You lunge your body forward and wrap your arms around her torso, giving her a giant bear hug and holding her arms locked into her body.

"EEEkkk!" she squeals as she tries her best to break free of your grab "Ahhh!!"

She's so small compared to you that you are able to hold her entire body wrapped up with your left arm while you slowly snake your right hand down her side. Once you get just below her rib cage you start to poke and prod your fingers into her body, quickly brushing them against her rib cage which causes the Sunrider to burst out in laughter.

"Ah hahaha!" she laughs uncontrollably "S-S-Stooppp!!" she tries to move and twist her body but your grasp is too strong.

"How's this for depressing!?!?" you push your fingers in a little harder, continuing your tickle **** on the black haired woman.

"Darien!! Hahaha Darien! No N-Hahaha!!" she's gasping for breaths now in between her shouting "Noo..haha Noo ahaha!"

"Just teaching you a lesson!" you plan to have no end in sight.

Then Zoe does something unexpected, she bends over at the waist and throws her body forward, causing you to tumble over top of her. The two of you roll on the ground and it allows Zoe to break free from your grasp. You're now on your back on the stone floored balcony as Zoe quickly spins and lunges on top of your body, straddling you on your waist "TAKE THIS!" her smile is so bright as both her hands go down to your rib cage and begin to poke, prod and dance on your bones.

"Z-Z-Zoe!!" you burst out in laughter. "Hahaha!" you could easily overpower the girl straddling on top of you but you decide to play around with her and have some fun. "No no no!!!" you squeal out as you gasp for breath.

"Taaaake Thissssss Darien!!!!!" Zoe howls as her **** on your body continues.

After giving full blown belly laughs from the onslaught of tickles you eventually bring both your arms up and grip each wrist of Zoe and pull them away from your body. You're panting hard as you lost your breath but your eyes are sparkling with satisfaction and you have the biggest dumbest grin on your face now. As you look up at Zoe who is the same way, her hair flayed all around her head, her chest heaving up and down from the energy she's exerted and her playful smile back at you. "Thanks Zoe." you eventually let out as you look at her memorizing ashen eyes "I needed that."

She just sticks her tongue out once more at you "I'm on top! I win again!" her cheeks bunch up with glee as she bounces on your waist in a nonerotic way.

It wasn't until the door to the balcony flies open with an extremely loud crash that causes both of you to look over at the door. A random Sicilian Warrior is out of breath as he looks at the two of you "Darien, thank the Syndicate I found you. You have to follow me, come quick, it's Lexie!" his voice has a sense of bothersome to it.

"What? What's wrong?" you question as Zoe pushes herself up off your body allowing the both of you to stand up with quizzical looks in your faces.

"No time to explain, just come quick!" he waves the two of you in and rapidly jogs back into the castle with you and Zoe right on his heels.
