A win-win date

It seemed like a simple day for Blaze. Another date with his girl Randichu. He was all cleaned up and ready to go out with her to the fancy restaurant on the edge of town. He closed his eyes, felt content, and walked out the door...

Right into a waiting RandiChu, who immediately stopped him in his tracks. "Hey, rusty. Ready for our picnic?" *Picnic?!* Blaze had forgotten that the restaurant was for tomorrow, but he didn't remember anything about a picnic! "Did you forget about it again?" She gave a fake pout and took his hand. "Don't worry; I took care of it for you." And with a yank that almost took Blaze's arm out of its socket, she pulled him off to the picnic, Blaze having no choice but to follow her.

She pulled him off to a little clearing in the middle of the woods, with a plaid blanket, basket, and silverware all set up. Blaze finally got out of Randi's grip and immediately rubbed his shoulder to stop the pain. "Sorry about that. I brought milk, and you know I don't like warm milk." she apologized. Blaze remembered well, especially after their last date. "So, let's start eating. I got all our favorites!" she gestured toward the picnic. Blaze took a look in the basket, took out some apples, and started pigging out. Randi just watched him. When he finished the first 2 apples, she said, "You look so cute when you eat, you know?" she said, making him blush as he started on his third. Randi stood up, walked over to a tree, and picked up a feather, getting some devious thoughts. She kept it hidden until Blaze had eaten all the apples. "Hey Blaze, honey, look what I found!" she called to him as she revealed the feather. This caught Blaze's attention. "Nice feather." he commented. "Thanks. It looks like it's from-whoops!" a gust of wind flew by, knocking the feather out of her hand, where it landed on Blaze's belly. This gave Randi an idea.

As she took the feather back, she asked, "Hey, Blazie, by any chance...are you ticklish at all?" Blaze, a bit astonished by the question, stuttered out "N-n-not that I' know of," and gave an unconvincing smile. "Really?" she asked slyly...then quickly jumped on him, pinned him face-down and pressed his face into the grass. "MMMPH, MMMMMM!!(Randi, what the heck are you doing?!)" She then squeezed her paws under his arms and started wiggling them.

"HEHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Stop that!" Blaze laughed from under her. "Not ticklish, huh rusty?" She said to him, which only made him laugh harder. On the other end, Blaze was starting to enjoy this. He'd never been tickled by Blaze before, and was afraid of what she'd do next. After a few minutes of tickling his underarms, she let him up. "You...you're..sneaky!" Blaze panted as he sat up and caught his breath. "You were so adorable!" she cried out, hugging him and kissing his cheek. "Thanks! Now, can you stop that?" he said in between kisses. She didn't stop. In fact, she kept it up, going to his neck, then to the chest, then to his belly. When she started kissing his belly, he got from irritated to giggly. "Hey, stohohohop! It tickles!" he turned on his side to hide his belly, but she pulled him back and kept him there. "You're really ticklish, aren't you?" she asked. "Will you tickle me if I say no?" She nodded with a grin. "Then...no!" he grinned right back. "Okey-dokey, smoky!" she said, then took a deep breath, and blew a big raspberry right in the middle of his tummy. "EEEEEEEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" Blaze belted out the laughter. It tickled so much he was kicking his feet around fruitlessly. Another deep breath from Randi, and another raspberry came knocking on his tummy. "NOHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!" Blaze kept laughing, unable to do anything about it. Then she got really sneaky. She took a deep breath again, pulled her head to his belly, and...didn't do anything. Blaze had tensed up for the assault, but now he thought it was over. "Phew" he gave an audible sigh of relief, and when he finished...
"PBBBTTT!"
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA NOHAHAT AGAIN!!" It was funny on both sides, Randi laughing at the reaction, Blaze laughing about how sly she was. "Want me to stop?" she asked, and Blaze only had enough energy to nod. So she stopped.

After a while of silence, Randi asked, "Did you like when I-"
"Yes!" Blaze said all too fast, and then blushed. Randi blushed too, especially since she had seen him in his cutest moment ever. *I need to tickle him a lot more often* she said to herself. She then felt something on her lap. She looked down and saw that Blaze had propped his feet on her lap. She looked at him, who gave a sheepish grin and rubbed the back of his head. "May I?" she asked. "Sure, but not so hard. You gave me a workout already." he replied. With that, Randi took up a foot and gave it a little tickle. Blaze giggled softly and laid back. "You didn't trim your nails, I noticed." he said in between giggles. "All the more to humor you with, Blazie-lazie." she said back, giving his toe a ticklish tweak, which made him "eep" a little. She dragged her nails all around his soles, making him paddle them a little. She drummed her nails on the skin under his toes, making him start to laugh. She then picked up her feather from before and started tickling his feet with that. He started laughing loudly, since he couldn't stand feathers, and squealed for a second when it suddenly poked between his toes. It was nice on both sides. Randi loved making Blaze laugh effortlessly, and Blaze liked the tickling and loved the fact Randi was doing it.

It was nearly sundown when the two had to go. The gave each other a hug and a kiss, and walked home, each thinking about the other.
Randichu thought: *I can't believe Blaze is ticklish, of all people! I'll have to do that to him a lot more often.*
Blaze thought: *I can't believe she tickled me. That was so neat! But I wonder if she's ticklish...oh well. I'll get her tomorrow.*

Each went to bed that night thinking about the other. They yearned for each other until the very moment they fell asleep, and still yearned in their dreams, waiting for tomorrow.
