“Oh Ruuuuuui, where are yoooou?” Douma called out sweetly in a sing-song voice, grinning as he wandered infinity castle halls. His footsteps echoed with each pass he made, and he made it a point to run his hands against the thin material of each door connecting the rooms. If the tiny spider demon was in them, he’d see his hand, fingers wiggling in threat.

Oh how he loved this part of the hunt; the anticipation!

“Little bug, I know you’re around here somewhere! You can’t hide from Big Brother Douma!” He sang, spinning on his heels as he took in the room. Around him, the sound of his own feet echoed off the walls- but among them; the pitter patter of bare feet running against wood. Ah- there he was. “If you come out now, I’ll give you a present!”

A weak offer- Rui already knew just what he was getting if he did come out.

The small pats stopped; a whisper of a door shutting. Ah, so he found a room to hide in. Douma pretended to search longer, even as he slowly began his ascent towards the door in question. “Oh where, oh where did my little bug go? Oh where oh where could he beee?” He sang, spinning with his arms behind his back until he came before one particular door.

A door with the thinnest of webbing on it.

“Could he be in…here?” He slid it open, finding the room empty. Not even the dust was disturbed.

“Ah…so I was wrong.” He tittered, standing back. Then he suddenly shot his hand out, grasping white fabric. Rui squeaked, eyes widening when Douma looked at him.

“Trying to run away, little bug?” He asked, grinning at Rui’s panicked expression. He raised a claw, fingers glinting in the light. “Come here~”

~~~

“You’ll play with me?” Rui sounded surprised, eyes wide behind his fringe of hair as Douma made his offer.

“Why act shocked? An Upper Moon can play every once and awhile.” Douma shrugged, leaning into his hands. Really- he was bored. The cult proved to be less than stellar as of late; two of his followers just ended their secret relationship, meaning his well of gossip had dried up. Daki had already given him all the latest tea about the Entertainment District, but now it was old news. Even his assignment for Muzan proved boring- Douma found the whole search for this rare spider lily tiresome and lacking of any real enjoyment. Better to leave that to Akaza.

So he once again found himself at Infinity Castle, where Rui had just finished reporting to Muzan alongside the rest of the lower moons. Enmu had already disappeared- saying something about trains and whatnot, and the rest…Douma didn’t really care either way- he found them dry.

That left only the Spider Demon.

Perfect.

“I just…I didn’t think you’d want to play with me. I didn’t think any of the Upper Moons did- well; besides Lord Akaza.” Rui tugged on his sleeves, his childlike eagerness showing even when he tried to keep his expression neutral. “What do you want to play?”

“Oo, I get to pick? Excellent!” Douma thought about it, making a big show as he hummed. Really- he already knew what game to play. “Kakurenbo!”

Hide and Seek. Rui’s eyes lit up.

“Okay! I’ll be it first, and you go and hide.” Douma nodded towards the castle. “Pick wherever- I’ll find you, Little Bug! And when I do…” The ice demon smirked, hands raised and fingers curling. Rui’s expression grew from excited to nervous- though Douma suspected there was something else there. “I’m gonna getcha!”

~~~

“N-No! Nohohoho no, nooo!” Rui giggled out, trying in vain to wiggle away from Douma’s grip. He could easily use his threads to cut off Douma’s hand- it was probably out of respect for their ranks he didn’t; but Douma liked to think it was because he really wasn’t trying that hard to get away. “Whahahhait!”

“I haven’t even touched you yet, Little Bug!” Douma laughed, Pulling Rui up so he hovered off the ground. The spider ran anyway- little feet kicking up air as he scrambled. When he looked down and saw his predicament, he dared a peek at Douma.

The ice demon gave him a little wave.

“Oohohoho dear-” Rui squeaked before he was pulled into Douma’s chest, bursting into giggles almost immediately when bony fingers attacked his sides. “Ahehahahhahhaha, Lord Dohoohohoohohuma!!!”

“Now now- I’m not “Lord” Douma- I’m just Douma! I told you that!” Douma grinned, taking a seat on the floor with Rui still in his lap, tapping his fingers along his ribs and making him squeal and cackle. “I’m not gonna stop tickling you until we can break that habit!”

“Buuhuhuhuuht Lohohoohhoohrd Dohoohohohohuma- Ahehahahhhahahaha!” Rui arched with a shriek when Douma’s hands found his belly, drilling in against the thick kimono. His feet kicked around sporadically, covering his face with his sleeves in an attempt to muffle the sound. “Whahahhahahait, whahhahhahahait not thehehehhehehhere!”

“Ah ah ah.” Douma drilled into a soft spot, earning a fresh squeal. “What did I say about the ���Lord’ thing? Dou-ma!” He wiggled a finger up into Rui’s armpit, making him shriek. “Wanna try again?”

“GEHAHHAHAHAHHAHA! FIHIHIHINE FIHIHIHIHINE, DOHOOHOHOUMA!” Rui howled. The hands stopped, and Rui let out a tired sigh through a string of giggles as Douma pulled his hands back, holding him up and against his chest. “Aheehhhehe..hehehehe…” His soft giggles slowly shifted to a yawn, little tears filling the corner of his eyes.

“Aww, is someone tuckered out?” Douma teased, running a hand through Rui’s hair as the spider blinked sleepily. “Wanna nap, Little Bug?”

“Mm..No, I’m alright.” Rui stretched, standing on his feet. A new look entered his gaze, something determined entering his expression. “Looks like I’m it this time!”

“Oh no! How scary!” Douma held his face in mock shock, making Rui giggle. He jumped to his feet, starting to run. “Count to ten, Little Bug!”

It was only after he thought he found the perfect hiding spot when he saw the thin string of thread tied around his ankle.

Well played, Rui. Well played.

Thanks for reading! :D
