Amethyst Cove Chronicles

Kit

The sixteen-year-old licked his lips as he stood outside the Cove's costume shop. He couldn't suppress his child-like giddiness as he envisioned the scene he'd been planning for Ryan. The fact he could keep it a secret from his mate surprised Kit. He lucked out the other night when Ryan got called away before he could tickle it out of him because he thought something was being kept from him. Kit loved the costume shop. One reason, it was one of the few places in town where he could openly display his ears and tail. As soon as he entered the store, that's what the teen did.

He giggled boyishly as he excitedly started looking through the costumes. There was one, in particular, the young wolf was hunting for. Kit was so caught up in the search that he failed to notice someone behind him. The teen had just reached up to pull another stack down when someone's fingers wiggled between his ribs. He squealed and wriggled like a worm as he tried to escape the unexpected tickle attack.

"So, the most adorable wolfboy alive is ticklish." The tickler chuckled as he ceased the tickling. "Really, ticklish judging from the reaction I just got. Good to know these things about such cute guys."

Kit turned, still giggling and lightly rubbing his sides. "You cheated, Prescott Jenkins." He hugged his chuckling tickle attacker.

"So, what ya hunting for?" Prescott asked as he helped his friend pick up the fallen costumes. The six-foot-tall eighteen-year-old smiled and handed them back to the other teen. He playfully ruffled Kit's hair and lightly scratched the teen's ears, then he ran his long slender fingers through his blonde hair streaked with red lightning bolts.

Kit smiled, and his ears twitched. "Thanks, Scott." He turned his attention back to the costumes, and in seconds he started excitedly jumping up and down and wagging his tail. "Oh, yeah, this is what I needed."

Prescott giggled at the adorable teen. He licked his lips as the yearning to have the teen wolf in bed with him grew. "Glad you found what you were looking for, babe." The eighteen-year-old wrapped his arms around Kit, smacked his ass, and passionately kissed him. His tongue slipped between the surprised teen's lips. He gasped when the younger teen gripped his arm, used Preston's weight against him, and threw him over his shoulder. The two-toned-haired teen yelped as he hit the floor.

Kit moved quickly and pinned Preston down. His eyes narrowed and glowed. His voice deepened and rattled the other teen's bones. "You've just gotten a strike against you. I'm being nice and not giving you two. Don't ever touch me like that again or call me babe again. I am not yours. I mate with one man for life, and that man is Ryan Zatara. Do you understand?" Kit growled and tightened his grip on Preston's wrist.

Preston almost cried from the pain as he nodded and gingerly rubbed his reddening skin as soon as Kit released him. "I...I'm sorry for doing that to you. I'll never do that again."

Kit calmed down and wiped the tears that formed in his eyes. "Why did you put me in that situation? I...I thought you were our friend."

"I am, Kit. I..." Prescott sighed and hung his head. "I've been attracted to you ever since the day we met. I guess I just let my desire and lust take over. Can you forgive me?"

"Please, don't ever do that again. I don't like having to use my magic like that. My powers are meant for protection and giving life, not threaten and cause harm." Kit said

Kit shivered when Prescott's arms wrapped around him. Although he didn't see the menacing flash in the older teen's eyes, his wolf felt it. The wolfboy paid for the costume and placed the bag inside his bookbag, then he and Prescott parted ways without saying goodbye. Kit mounted his motorcycle and headed home.

Prescott's eyes narrowed as visions of making Kit sleep with him so he could have the bragging rights swarmed in his head. The plotting teen got into his Ferrari and sped off toward his house to start working on a potion to debilitate the wolf teen.

At The Manor

Johnny walked into the main living space, slipped his shoes off at the door, and placed his books in the library. He smiled when he walked into the new bedroom and saw the picture of him and Felix at the lake. The redhead chuckled, remembering his spell to keep the half-witch in place and tickling his mate's lower back to get the right smile for the photo. He took his shirt and jeans off, then slipped into a pair of athletic shorts and a light blue tank top. Johnny pulled off his white with grey toes and heels Hanes ankle socks and wiggled his bare toes as he relaxed on the bed. He sighed contentedly as his eyes closed and drifted off for a trip into nap world.

Kit's mood was still off when he returned home. He looked and saw Johnny's car in the garage and parked his cycle beside it. The teen walked into the house and stripped off his shirt, shorts, and shoes. He carried the clothing and dropped the sneakers off at the front door. Then, Kit walked into the room he shared with Ryan and put the clothes in the hamper. In his Masters Of The Universe briefs and She-Ra, Princess Of Power ankle socks, he sat on the bed, meditating.

Tears streamed down the wolfboy's cheeks as he saw Prescott in his mind and felt the older teen's hands on his skin. The whole ordeal frightened Kit. He wasn't used to someone doing that without it being Ryan. There was something in Prescott's touch that made the teen shiver and curl into himself.

Finally, he couldn't take it anymore and had to talk to someone. Ryan and Felix were too overprotective and would overreact. Kit knew who he could talk to. The wolf teen's sock-clad feet padded down the hallway towards the new bedroom. He paused at the open door and smiled as he watched his older brother resting peacefully.

Kit quietly approached the bed, shifted to his wolf form, and jumped onto the bed at Johnny's bare feet. The white wolf's tongue started licking the top of his brother's feet as his tail tickled his soles. Johnny's feet flexed, and his toes twitched as soft, airy giggles escaped the redhead's lips. Kit telepathically giggled, then continued his tickles and licks. He was about to take another swipe when his body suddenly levitated and hovered over the bed.

"I think my little puppy brother needs some good laughs." Johnny chuckled and rubbed his feet along the bedsheets. "Really, Kitpup, licking and tickling my feet?" The redhead giggled as he conjured feathers that tickled his brother's paws.

"Sooo not fair, John." Kit telepathically squealed as his wolf's body wriggled and pawed in midair.

Johnny smiled and kissed his furry brother. "I love you, Pup." He waved his hand and caught the yelping falling wolf.

Kit shifted to his human form and wrapped his arms around his brother's neck. "Puppy." Kit said, using his code for instant cuddling and loving.

Johnny nodded and cradled the teary-eyed teen. He gasped when he felt the pain and confusion in his wolf brother. "Kit, what's wrong?" The redhead asked as he stared into the younger teen's eyes. Johnny patiently listened with tears in his eyes while Kit told him everything that happened in the costume shop. He was livid that someone would take advantage of Kit's innocence and trust. When Kit finished, Johnny wiped his brother's tears and wrapped his arms protectively around the emotional wolfpup. "I'm sorry you had to go through that, baby pup." The older teen embraced Kit, sending every ounce of love and positivity he had to his brother. "You know you should tell Ry and Lix too."

Kit sniffed and clung to Johnny. "I know, but John, they're so protective of me that they'd overreact. That's why I came to you. You're just as protective, but try to let me handle things before stepping in." Kit looked into Johnny's eyes. "You get it and understand me in a way that Lixie and Ry don't."

Johnny smiled and gently rubbed the other teen's back. "I think I get what you're saying, but what exactly do you mean?"

Kit sighed and lay his head on Johnny's chest. "We're both considered the weaker members of the coven. At least magically, and for now. You have to siphon to activate your active magic, and I'm not fully matured. Because of that, Ry and Lix tend to feel like they're our defenders, in a way." The teen paused and kissed Johnny's cheek. "Bro, I see your strength. At times you're a stronger and more effective protector than Lix and Ryan. I think that sometimes, Ryan gets too caught up, being my hero, and Felix gets too cocky."

Johnny's tears dripped down his cheeks as he listened to his brother's most sincere inner feelings. He knew Kit looked up to him and felt protected by him. However, this was a deeper and more meaningful admittance of his beliefs. For a moment, the redhead froze and got lost in his thoughts. He couldn't fathom being that important and needed by this young wolf. Johnny was so moved by Kit's admission that he communicated his feelings through the most loving embrace the redhead could muster. Time seemed to stop for the teen brothers as they silently held each other and let their energy flow between their bodies. Finally, the duo separated and wiped their tears as their heads leaned against each other. "Do you feel safe around Prescott?" Johnny asked.

"I think so. However, I'm not sure about being alone with Prescott either. My wolf doesn't trust him and felt darkness in him when we had a final hug, but I did tell him I forgave him."

Johnny nodded and lay against the headboard. He pulled Kit against his chest and cuddled him. "Well, try limiting being with Prescott to places that are populated and safe." He paused and stared directly into Kit's eyes. "Kitanyon, I'm happy you feel safe enough to confide in me. However, just to cover your bases, I'd suggest you at least mention the incident to at the least Ry. I can justify me knowing and Felix not knowing about what happened, But I can't justify knowing when Ry doesn't. Does that make sense?" Johnny asked.

"It does, and I will tell Ry this evening." Kit's tail mindlessly swished across Johnny's toes. The wolf teen giggled when he felt his older brother's body squirm and heard his light boyish giggling.

Johnny smiled and lightly drew circles around Kit's belly button rim. He snickered when his brother jumped and squealed. "Do you feel like you need me to say something to Prescott?"

Kit lay his head on the crook of Johnny's shoulder. "No, I think I made my position and expectations clear. I could feel the fear when my voice rattled his bones, and my eyes glowed." Kit chuckled.

Johnny kissed Kit's cheek. "Good, you know I'll let you handle this on your own unless I see that you can't."

"That's why you're an awesome big brother." Kit giggled as his eyes flashed.

Johnny started to hug Kit but found his arms pinned to the headboard. Of course, this left his upper body exposed. The redhead squirmed as he began reciting a spell, but halfway through, his words turned to boisterous laughter when Kit's fingers explored and exploited his pit hollow's ticklishness. "Shit, not the pits." Johnny hollered.

Kit snickered. "Something wrong, tickly big brother?" The tip of the wolfboy's tail swirled in the deep crevice of Johnny's navel.

As soon as he felt the soft fur in his belly button's cave, Johnny's eyes widened, and his laughter rose in pitch. His legs and arms furiously pulled against his brother's magical hold. "I'm soo gonna get you, wolfy."

Kit's tail switched to flossing between his brother's toes. Of course, this also made the younger teen squeal and giggle cause Johnny's toes clenched, which tickled the wolf's tail. He managed to work through the ticklish feeling and leaned over. Kit blew raspberries on the bare stomach while kneading and wiggling his fingers in the center of his brother's dampening pits.

Johnny got a surge of power and broke Kit's spell. His eyes glowed a brilliant light purple.

Kit yelped as his body was suspended in midair, spread eagle. The teen giggled and tried to look cute and innocent. "Is that a new eye color? It looks great on you." He licked Johnny's nose.

Johnny giggled and shook his head at the teen's cuteness. He conjured two electric toothbrushes. They turned on and brushed Kit's exposed and almost hairless armpit hollows. Kit's shrieks echoed off the walls as his body remained stationary and unmoving. Johnny made sure his hold would keep the other teen completely immobile. He even went so far as to keep Kit's toes from curling and closing. Kit gulped as he laughed like crazy when he realized how trapped he was. Johnny waved his hand, and twenty feathers appeared. They stroked between and along the bases of Kit's toes. This caused the wolfboy's laughter to become shrill and even louder. Johnny's final act was his slender nimble fingers kneading the trapped teen's taut muscled abs, then he blew raspberries on Kit's stomach while tickling his sides and hips. Kit's laughter became silent and raspy. Despite that, he was having a blast.

Johnny carefully monitored his brother's feelings. He didn't want to take the tickles too far. "Ya give, tickly puppy boy?" Johnny giggled. He didn't usually use a Ryanism nickname, but he felt it'd be cute in this situation.

Kit nodded his head. The teen smiled as he floated down onto Johnny's lap and felt his brother's arms around his panting body. "I love you, John. That was freakin' amazing."

"I love you too, baby bro." Both teens yawned and closed their eyes as they took a nap together.

Felix came home and made his way to the new bedroom. When he got there, the half-tickle monster smiled at the sight of Johnny holding Kit as they rested. He took his phone out, snapped a picture, and sent it to Ryan. The twenty-two-year-old licked his lips and smiled as his eyes flashed. The bedsheets magically wrapped around the two teens, binding them together. He walked up to his mate's and brother's bare feet, then softly giggled as he started tickling the helpless soles. It only took a second before the room filled with teenage laughter and threats of revenge.

Ryan was so excited and dying to share his findings that he almost ran into the living space's door. The redhaired teen stopped to calm down a little, then chuckled at himself for acting like his younger mate. He loved Kit's ever-present puppy/child-like excitement and happiness when he discovered something new or, in his opinion, earth-shattering. The seventeen-year-old opened the door, slipped his sneakers off, and waved his hand, making the footwear place themselves by the other's shoes. Ryan's pink and green striped ankle sock-clad feet slightly pounded on the steps as he rushed upstairs. The first place he stopped was his and Kit's bedroom. The teen was a little confused when he didn't find his mate there. He closed his eyes and followed his bond to Kit. As he got nearer to his brother's newly created bedroom, boyish giggles escaped Ryan's lips. He could hear Johnny's laughter mixing with Felix's and Kit's.

When he opened the door, Ryan doubled over, convulsing with laughter. His mate and older brothers were in the room, playing a game of pool. However, this was a tickle version the coven created. Kit was the pool table, and the balls were covered with little feathers and brushes that tickled body parts the players called out. They never really kept score. It was just something fun to do to keep Kit entertained and giggling. None of the guys noticed Ryan, so he plotted his grand entrance. The teen's eyes glowed as he recited a spell. Suddenly, Felix, Kit, and Johnny screeched as they were held down and tickled by hands coming from the walls and ceiling.

"Who the fuck?" Johnny screeched as five fingers tickled his deep armpit hollows on both sides. The redhead tried to break free, but the plaster hands kept him down.

"Lixie, you're not playing fair." Kit squealed when fingers tickled his lower back and tail.

"Not me," Felix yelled before hysterically cackling as ten fingernails tickled his size twelve bare feet.

The three tickled men finally heard someone else's laughter and looked up to see Ryan's body slumped against the wall as he boisterously laughed at his prank. Johnny's eyes narrowed and glowed when his magic surge hit. He broke free and sent ten fingers with ten tinier fingers, flying at Ryan.

The cackling teen hadn't realized he'd been discovered. That is until he felt his arms pulled over his head and glued to the wall. The fingers with fingers split apart and headed for the exposed armpits. Ryan shrieked and howled with laughter as he was tickled into hysterical oblivion. His legs kicked, and sock-clad heels dug into the carpet. This made the redhead laugh even more because Kit cast a tickle spell on the floor covering. Felix sent lightning bolts infused with tickle magic at Ryan's belly button.

"I give...Uncle, Uncle...you guys win." The tickled teen screeched. Instantly, the tickles ceased, and before the redhead knew what happened, he was pinned to the floor by a telepathically giggling white wolf. Ryan's giggles and squeals returned the minute Kit's tongue lapped all over the squirming teen's face, ears, and neck. "Pup, not the lickles." The writhing teen squealed as he turned his head side to side, attempting to escape his mate's tongue.

Kit pinned Ryan's arms under his front paws, lifted his head, and howled in triumph. Ryan, Felix, and Johnny chuckled when they heard the younger teen's telepathic celebratory chants. The teen shifted back to his human form and wrapped his arms around his lover's neck.

"I love you, Ry."

"I love you too, my adorable puppy boy."

Ryan stood up, picked up his folders, then turned to face his coven. "Guys, I found something totally epic. I mean, it's like the first discovery of fire and magic kits epic." The teen jumped up and down on the balls of his feet in an animated display of excitement. However, he suddenly stopped when he saw the trio of amused expressions. "Umm, I mean, I found something of great historical value and importance to the Cove, and more importantly, this coven." Ryan sheepishly grinned and blushed. His blush became deeper when Kit giggled and kissed his nose.

Felix and Johnny shook their heads as they initiated a brother's hug with the younger teens. "Sit down and collect your thoughts before you have a stroke, baby bro." The half element witch said as he went and got sodas from the minifridge for everyone. He shot the bottles with a short blast of arctic air to make them extra cold. Then, he joined his brothers and mate on the bed, waiting for Ryan to tell them about his discovery.

Ryan smiled and sipped his drink as he soaked up all the love and devotion he felt from his family. There was so much love surrounding the teen that his tears shined like diamonds as they beaded on his cheeks. He took a moment and gazed into the three pairs of eyes that watched him. "I love this family more than anything." Ryan softly whispered. He deeply inhaled and sniffed back the falling tears. He opened his arms and legs, giving Kit room to sit in front of him.

"Before you start, I...I need to tell you and Lixie something that happened today." Kit paused. He looked up into Ryan's eyes and wiped his tears. "I wasn't going to tell you or Lix just yet, cause I didn't want you two to overreact. However, I needed to tell someone and confided in Johnny. He did tell me I needed to tell you guys, especially you, Ry."

Felix smiled and kissed Johnny. "Thanks for loving my little brother so much, babe. You're an amazing big brother for the guys."

Ryan hugged his cousin/brother. "You really are a kickass brother. Both you and Lix are."

Johnny blushed, and Kit giggled as he kissed the older teen's nose. "Hey, the Puppyboy's my kid brother too. I gotta protect and tickle him whenever possible." He giggled and quickly retracted his feet when Kit's tail tickled them.

After everyone settled down, Kit began his tale. As expected, Felix's and Ryan's eyes widened and then darkened. The two older guys were about to say something, but Johnny's whistling brought their attention to him. He looked his mate and brother in the eyes. Johnny told them they were to watch from the sidelines and only react if Kit was in trouble he couldn't get out of. He reminded them that their youngest coven brother needed to feel like he could look after himself but also know that his family has his back. Ryan and Felix looked at one another, then at the other two guys. They sighed and nodded their heads in sync.

Ryan buried his face in Kit's shoulder and pulled the teen's body against his. He wrapped his arms protectively around the wolfboy's chest. "I love you so much, Kitpup. I just want you to be safe, loved, and happy."

Kit smiled and lay his head against his mate's chest. "I am, my sweet Ry. You and my brothers always make sure of that."

Felix gently smoothed Ryan's and Kit's hair. "I can't help or stop wanting to be the protector of you guys." He wiped his tears. "Kit, I promise, I'm not gonna say or do anything to Prescott till there's a reason to do so."

"Pup, I promise the same thing," Ryan said as he kissed Kit's forehead.

"Okay, before we drown in the river of tears, what's this big news you have, little bro?" Felix asked as he held Johnny in his arms.

"You know I've been working on deciphering the diaries we found hidden in the tree when we created this room, right?" He paused as everyone else nodded. "I finally found a decoding spell and cast it. The diaries make sense now." He looked at Felix and Kit. "Johnny, can you come over with me?" Ryan kissed Kit. "Go over and sit with your brother for a minute. You're both gonna need each other." The older teen smiled as he got confused expressions when his mate and cousin did as requested. "These are the last accounts of one of the most trusted friends to the Mistress of the Elements, KaTanya. This woman's diaries go back to just after the war, one hundred years ago." Ryan paused and looked at Kit and Felix. "In one of them, she talks about Mistress KaTanya giving birth to a beautiful baby boy named, Felixion. His father's name was Lix. He was her husband and got killed during a battle with a demon sent to kill the Mistress. The woman states that this baby was born half tickle monster and half element witch." He paused as Felix and Kit's eyes widened, and their jaws dropped. "There's more. She then talks about the Mistress's second child, born six years later. Another beautiful boy named Kitanyon Blu. His father's name was Kitahney Blu. He was the Mistress's mate, a rare light wolf, and was the only one to ever guard the Mistress, before and after her first husband." Johnny, Kit and Felix were stunned and speechless.

Johnny was the first to speak. "That means Kit and Lix are over one hundred years old." He smirked. "I think I need a younger model." The second the words were out of the redhead's mouth, he was pinned to the bed by Kit and Felix. The pair used their tails to tickle the eighteen-year-old male's feet while they each chose a side to attack and took turns blowing raspberries on his stomach until he surrendered. They pulled the giggling teen into a hug and kissed him.

Kit and Felix suddenly stopped smiling and stared at each other and then at Ryan. In unison, they said. "Our Mom was the Mistress of the Elements, and we're half brothers?"

Ryan and Johnny cracked up laughing at the delayed realization. "I was wondering when they'd come to that part," Ryan said as he giggled.
