The Ticklish Brotherhood - 1. Unexpected Road Trip

Aiden Giovanni's deep, sapphire blue eyes slowly opened. He yawned and stretched when the soft rays of the rising sun illuminated his fair, creamy skin and made the messy blonde locks shine and look like silky strands of gold sprouting from the crown of his head. The thirty-year-old sat up, hung his legs over the side of the king-size mattress, and slid his size twelve bare feet into the black slippers between the sage-colored bedroom wall and the bed.

All the Giovanni men live in Covington castle, owned by James Covington, boyfriend of Anthony Giovanni, the youngest of the immediate family's four birth children. The space Aiden lived in was shared with his husband, Matthieu Elijah O'Hara, and with no female to barge in, there was never a need to cover himself, which allowed his generous manhood to freely point the way to the attached bathroom.

Despite feeling pressure from the stored-up liquid in his bladder, the Giovanni male took a second to assess his hardon, then chose to turn on the garden tub's faucet and let the piss flow down the drain with the hot water. It hadn't been more than a few seconds before the slender and slightly hairy arms of his husband slid around his naked torso, followed closely by the rest of the warm body as it snuggled into him.

"Good morning, beautiful," Aiden said with a bright smile that rivaled any toothpaste commercial ever aired.

"Morning, babe," Matt responded.

Aiden leaned slightly to the left and gently kissed his husband's cheek before Matt added his golden stream to the mix of his pee and water. When they finished, he stepped over to the four-person, glassed-in shower stall with its trio of ceiling-mounted chrome rain shower heads, punched the buttons on the wall remote beside the glass wall, and set the perfect temperature for their shower.

Once it was ready and the steam coated the frosted glass, Matt followed his six-foot-tall husband into the light blue and white tiled stall. Being five-foot-eight, he was the shortest male in the Giovanni clan, and he had to stand on his tiptoes to plant a loving kiss on his forever love's plump, pinkish lips.

"I love you, Mattie," Aiden whispered.

"Not as much as I love you," Matt said, and because his back was to his husband so he could grab the shampoo they shared, the shorter of the two didn't see the mischievous smirk on his man's face. He yelped and jumped in surprise when five wiggling fingers made contact with his very ticklish sides and hips. "Aiden," he squealed, childishly stretching out the other man's name.

Aiden chuckled and lightly stroked the milky white skin of the only boy he'd ever romantically loved. "What's up, baby boy," he innocently asked as his tickles changed to a firm but gentle shoulder and back massage.

"You're sooo gonna... Fuck, Aid, you're totally cheating... You know how your massages..." Matt couldn't continue as his words changed to low, breathy moans of sheer ecstasy.

The hot water cascaded down onto the men's firm, muscle-toned bodies. Their endowments twitched, and precum leaked from the slits of the darkening mushroom heads. Aiden turned Matt around. He slowly licked along the pale sides of his husband's neck. Matt's head tipped back, and his Adam's apple bobbed up and down as he swallowed. Their torsos pressed together, and they felt the cum rising up their hardened, veiny shafts. "I love you," the pair stated in unison as twenty dum-dum lollipop-like toes curled, a couple seconds before six healthy spurts of Matt's seed coated his husband, followed about fifteen seconds later by Aiden's thick protein-rich semen coating him. Their knees buckled, and the guys had to lean on the walls and each other to keep from sliding down to the hard-tiled floor.

When the husbands recovered enough, they stood up, shampooed, and conditioned each other's hair. For the next task, Aiden and Matt very thoroughly washed each other. Of course, this particular endeavor called for a great deal of specific attention paid to various body parts, which caused each of them to squirm, squeal, laugh, and wriggle while being held in place. Matt's size nine feet and plump toes were given extra special care by Aiden, which brought out a boisterously animated reaction from the slender fella. Then, when it was time to repay the loving kindness shown to him, the brunette didn't disappoint his very ticklish companion and was rewarded with an abundance of squeals and hysterical laughter.

*****

It was busier than usual for twenty-five-year-old Anthony Giovanni. Beads of sweat sparkled on his forehead as he frantically passed through the rays of bright morning sunlight streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows of his and James' space in the castle, packing clothing and triple-checking that he had everything needed for the unexpected trip to reunite with Mikey Dante Carter-Buckingham, his best friend and brother since the day they met in elementary school.

He smiled and took a moment to conjure a mental image of the only man with whom he shared half a heart aside from his husband, James. While sleeping, he and Mikey unknowingly and unconsciously sent each other a text that read, "SM/AB time needed ASAP." As kids, they gave each other and their older brothers superhero names. He was Amazing Antboy, and Super Mikey was bestowed upon Mikey.

Once the packing was done, Anthony walked outside, entered the first of two six-car garages, and placed them into the bed of the Nineteen-Fifty-Six Ford F-One-Hundred pickup truck his twin brothers Aiden and Jordan chose from their Pappy Tony's collection as part of their inheritance. The classic vehicle was once owned by the four Giovanni siblings' late father, Matthew Giovanni, who died in a fire.

*****

Matt and Aiden were drying themselves with matching fluffy, light blue bath sheets when the sound of someone in their room made them jump. They looked at the bathroom door, then at each other, and wrapped the giant towels around their waists.

"Umm, are you expecting anyone, babe?"

"Nope, you, Aid?"

"Not that I can remember," Aiden responded as he looked for something to use as a weapon and grabbed his husband's hairdryer.

Matt shook his head, rolling his eyes, and said, "Babe, it's probably one of our brothers." He paused and pointed at the appliance. "My new hairdryer, really?"

"What?"

Matt giggled. "Isn't it umm kinda...girly to use as a weapon?"

"Dude, it's got a good length of cord that's great for strangling an intruder... or an annoying husband," he giggled when his husband stuck his middle finger up at him, then continued, "and it's heavy enough to knock someone out. Besides, ya got a better idea?"

"Lead on, oh great protector of mine," Matt chuckled as he ducked his mate's attempted head slap, then said, "You're buying me a new one if you break it."

Aiden raised the hairdryer over his head, placed his finger on his lips, and opened the door just enough to peek through the crack. His hand wrapped around the doorknob, and just as he started to open it further, it suddenly flew open the rest of the way and made him and Matt yelp and jump back.

"C'mon, Aiden, hurry up and get some clothes on that flat ass of yours," Anthony excitedly ordered as he rushed into the bathroom, paying no attention to the shocked, mostly nude occupants.

Aiden finally released the breath he was holding while Matt fell back against the wall, hysterically laughing at the scene.

"What are you..." Aiden started to say.

"No time, big bro, we gotta get on the road," Anthony said as he began throwing things into a small suitcase.

Matt hung the bath sheet on the towel rack, then walked past the brothers. "I'm gonna start the coffee. Have you eaten yet, Ant?"

"Nope, been packing, Mattie," Anthony responded as he rushed back into the bedroom and packed his brother's clothes.

"Umm, does Aiden have a say in..." Aiden started to say.

"NO!" Matt and Anthony hollered in unison before giggling when their response made Aiden jump.

"Well, you will sit down to eat with us before you and Aiden leave on this unexpected adventure," Matt stated. He kissed his brother and mate's cheeks as he walked past them, then turned to face the younger brunette and said, "That's an order, by the way. Don't forget, I know Amazing Antboy's weaknesses and am not afraid to use them on him until he bends to my Will. He giggled, looked at his husband, and said, the same goes for Aiden The Mighty."

The Giovanni brothers stared open-mouthed at the shorter man as he walked, totally naked, through the bedroom and into the kitchenette area.

"Bro, your husband's scary when he wants to be," Anthony stated.

Aiden smiled and playfully ruffled his brother's hair. "I know, and he's sooo damn sexy when he's in scary mode."

Anthony rolled his eyes, then tackled his naked older brother.

Aiden grunted as he struggled with his giggling attacker and threatened, "You're sooo askin' for trouble, Antboy."

"Oh, yeah? In that case, I'd better enjoy myself while I can."

Aiden's laughter bounced off the bathroom floor and walls the second his younger brother's fingers dug into and kneaded his rib cage, then up and down the length of his sides. "Not fair, little bro," he expressed between the cackles.

Anthony chuckled, then said, "You'll really think this isn't fair." He slightly turned to the right and caught Aiden's animated ankles in mid-kick.

"Fuck! Not the feet," the writhing, bucking thirty-year-old hollered. In mere seconds, wild, high-pitched howls and screeches flowed from the ticklish man's lips because five fingernails were slowly and lightly dragging up and down his soft, bare soles. Aiden tried to keep the invading fingertips from accessing the base of his toes by curling them. However, that proved unsuccessful because the fingers slowly worked under them, tickling the plump toe pads. Another minute later, the tickle attack ceased, and his brother wrapped his arms around him.

"I love you, Aiden The Mighty," Anthony said as he kissed his brother's cheek.

Aiden returned the affection, "I love you too, Amazing Antboy," he said as they helped each other off the floor.

The brothers continued their banter while the eldest of the pair dressed, and the younger resumed packing his brother's things. It wasn't long before they heard Matt calling them to come eat.

"So, brother of mine, what's up with the sudden idea for a road trip," Aiden asked after sipping his coffee.

"Yeah, Ant, this is unusual even for you," Mattie stated with a boyish grin.

Anthony glared menacingly at his brother-in-law and started giggling despite his best effort to keep it up. His family always loved how easy it was to get giggles out of him. Rather than tell the older men, he pulled his phone from his pocket, showed them the text exchange with Mikey, and then explained that they'd sent the message to each other in their sleep. Aiden and Matt looked at the phone and were still amazed at how truly connected Anthony and Mikey remained.

"Oh, we're taking the F100," Anthony said with an innocent grin.

"When was this decided without my knowledge," Aiden asked.

"You do know," Anthony replied, "I just told you."

Matt shook his head and giggled. "Good luck, babe," he said while gathering the dishes, taking them into the kitchenette, and loading them into the dishwasher.

Anthony tried to run but wasn't quick enough to avoid being tackled by his older brother. He giggled and writhed from the tickle attack that his hips and stomach were under. "C'mon, bro," he shrieked.

"C'mon, what," Aiden asked. He chuckled and continued tickling his younger sibling. "You barge in here, order me to go on a mysterious road trip, then have the nerve to tell me we're taking my truck, and you don't expect any consequences?"

The tickles moved to Anthony's upper thighs and just above his knees. His body thrashed, and the volume and pitch of the twenty-five-year-old's laughter rose almost an octave. The soles of his feet slid back and forth along the hardwood floor as they flattened and arched inside the gray and white heart-decorated ankle socks covering them.

"I know you want to go with me to see Mikey, meet his boy, and make sure his husband is his perfect match," the ticklish male hollered.

Aiden ended the tickling, kissed his brother's sweaty forehead, and firmly massaged the sock-clad feet. "You're right, I do want to see my Mikey. It's been way too long," he admitted.

Anthony sighed as he separated his brother's legs, sat between them with his back against the older blonde's chest, and wrapped Aiden's arms around him. "I knew that if I went alone or waited for James and left without you, you'd feel left out. As much as Mikey and I love Jordan and know he loves us, you've always been closest to us, Aiden."

"That's true, and I've never actually thought about why that was. It's not like Jordan loves you guys any less or more than the rest of us. He just kinda gravitated more towards Jayce and Adam."

"I think that was so Jayce and Adam would have an older brother that, in a way, belonged to only them, like you belong to me and Mikey."

"Oh, I belong to you and Mikey, huh?"

Anthony giggled and nodded as he leaned his head to the side and kissed Aiden's nose.

"You're lucky you're sooo damn cute and that I love you, Antboy."

"I know, but I love you more, Aiden The Mighty."

Tears welled in the siblings' eyes as they cuddled each other, rocking back and forth, with Aiden's chin resting on Anthony's shoulder.

Matt stood silently in the doorway of the kitchenette, smiling, and snapped a picture of them with his phone, then asked, "Hey, don't I get to go test the new husband and meet my nephew?"

Anthony gave his best "I'm adorable" look and responded, "Of course you do, Mattie. You'll be going to Mikey's tomorrow morning with James."

"I will?"

"Yep, your suitcase and James' suitcase are all packed, and I'm throwing them in the back of the truck before Aiden and I leave."

Aiden's head flew back as he laughed. He turned to gaze at his open-mouthed husband and said, "Apparently, I'm not the only one being told what to do by this little man."

Before he could move, Aiden tightened his hold on him. "Oh, shit," Anthony exclaimed just before his laughter filled the living area from Matt's tickle assault on his feet and toes.

I really hope everyone enjoys this new story and looks forward to seeing Mikey and Dakota again and meeting the Giovanni side of the Carter/Knight/Buckingham blended family.
