Snippet #1698739

James bent as Gepetto pushed him back, off his lap and onto the bed. For a second James wondered if Gepetto was angry with him, but then he realized that it was meant playfully, especially when he felt slender fingers spider across his rib cage. His lips parted in a little 'o' of surprise, then a giggle bubbled from his lips. the sound was odd, but there was no doubt that it was laughter. When was the last time James had actually laughed? His body stretched as he tried to escape the heady feeling of being tickled, but he couldn't manage to get quite enough away. Maybe he didn't really want to evade Gepetto's touch.

The butler found that he was trapped under the warm body above him, golden eyes and grinning lips and more gold. So much gold. A precious metal. A precious man. James pulled his other glove off with his teeth, it was so much quicker that way, tossing it aside. He could feel his body growing warmer, almost unbearably so, in the heavy black suit.

James's wide green eyes glittered with mirth as he wiggled underneath Gepetto. He tipped his head back, shaking with laughter. His face was till tear stained, but such feelings were long forgotten. He reached out and danced his fingers across the side of the doll's neck. Let's see how he liked being tickled.
