I was wondering if you could do a request, Lee Giyuu and lers tengen and rengoku. If not that’s fine.
I made a fic like that before, aaaaah, such a good memories...
Lee: Giyuu Tomioka
Lers: Tengen Uzui and Rengoku Kyojuro
Rengoku: Don't you think it's beautiful to see a person smile?!
Tengen: Of course, there is nothing better than a person with a smile on their face... My wives' smiles are my everything and I feel that if one day I wake up and don't see them smile, my life would be gone.
Rengoku: Mhm! Beautiful words, my friend! Hey, remember when we tried to make Tomioka laugh?!
Tengen: Hah, how could I forget, not even Kocho managed to get a smile out of him. And honestly, I thought Mitsuri and her tickle attack would at least make him smile a little, but that's not the case
Rengoku: Sometimes I feel bad when I see Giyuu not smiling! He sure has a kind smile, after all, he is kind!
Tengen: Well, we couldn't know, I'm rather surprised that he hasn't distanced himself from almost everyone from the first moment we approached, hahahaha
They both looked at the sky, meditated for a moment and then, an idea appeared between them
R and T: Why don't we try to make him laugh?!
Tengen: Oh, we have the same idea, hah, what are you planning this time? Try the glasses trick again?
Rengoku: Hahahahaha! That wouldn't be a bad idea, but I think we can make him laugh in other ways! I have a few ideas on what we can do!
Tengen: I'm listening, friend.
And so began the second part of making Giyuu smile. Rengoku gave some great ideas, from funny-looking foods to pranks.
Tengen: Damn, he's so gloomy...
Rengoku: Hahahaha, he certainly is a bit stubborn to smile!
Tengen: I don't know what else we could do, I think it would be easier to make Shinazugawa smile or Obanai blush
Rengoku: Do you think we should use the old tickling technique?
Tengen: Do you think it will work? Mitsuri tried it, do you think we could pull it off?
Rengoku: Come on, come on, don't get discouraged! We'll manage to put a smile on Tomioka's face! I assure you!
After a few minutes of considering the possibilities, Tengen finally agreed, and the two of them began to "observe" him closely. They also consulted with Kocho, as they knew of her "closeness" to him.
They prepared a lot, confident they would achieve something, even if it was just a tiny smile. It didn't matter if it took all day, the idea was clear: Giyuu Tomioka was going to smile.
Giyuu: (They've been following me almost all day... How strange... Kanzaburo hasn't told me anything about a mission with them... I'd better ask them) hey, Tengen, Rengoku
Rengoku: Well! Hello Tomioka! How have you been?!
Giyuu: Fine, thank you. Can I get you anything?
Tengen: Come on, come on, just stopping by to say hi. Can't you at least try to sound a little excited?
Giyuu: That's my voice
Rengoku: Hahahaha, we know, Tomioka! Don't worry about it! Would you like to come with us?!
Giyuu: You mean... like friends...?
Tengen: Obviously, we're going there.
Giyuu's eyes lit up for a moment, but he didn't have enough time to think. In the first blink he was at the restaurant and the second, at his estate, with both of them in front of him, eating. It seemed they understood that he preferred to be at home rather than in a restaurant...
Rengoku: The seasoning at that restaurant is some of the most delicious I've ever had! What do you think?!
Giyuu: It's... Delicious... It's at its perfect point...
Tengen: Indeed, you see? You need to talk a little more, why don't you?
Giyuu: I just hate talking.
Rengoku: And what do you think about laughing?
That question was... Curious... In Giyuu's words, it left him thinking for a while... What was the reason for the question? He had never smiled, at least not after the incidents... He then assumed that they had returned to their mission where they were going to make him smile, or at least try to.
He wasn't upset. He could have avoided it or managed his reactions well the first time. How different would it be now? A bad joke, a bad prank, he could calculate and avoid it.
Tengen: So Tomioka? What do you have to tell us?
Giyuu: Well, I haven't laughed in a long time, it's hard to do so, so, it's a neutral opinion, I guess... As long as it's within my limits.
Rengoku: So we can say that you like it in some way?!
His face changed, Giyuu's expression was now clearly defensive, he frowned and raised an eyebrow in confusion, what were they implying with that interrogation? If we can call it that.
He remained calm. He had loved laughing as a child, but now he found it strange and preferred not to think about it. So he kept quiet and continued eating.
Rengoku: Well?! We await your response!
Giyuu: No.
Tengen: Oh come on, are you going to say you've never laughed then? I don't think you can't laugh, it's a natural thing. Look at Sanemi and Obanai, for example.
Giyuu: Whether I laugh or not, I think it's not relevant, now, I'd like to finish my lunch, thank you.
They both saw each other, they agreed on something, laughter is something natural for human beings and people can always laugh, they just needed a little push to do it.
They waited expectantly, "admitting" that he was right and continuing with their meal. Little by little, the plates piled up, indicating that they were finished.
Giyuu: Thank you for the food. Let me pay you.
Tengen: Nonsense! It was a gift from us, we don't need your money.
Rengoku: Of course, you could pay with something else...
Giyuu didn't find it strange, perhaps they wanted him to invite them to eat some other day or perhaps buy them some dessert or some drink, so he didn't flinch, he just waited for the answer.
But he was greatly surprised when they both stood in front of him, smiling. Giyuu looked elsewhere, wondering if they were playing a joke on him, but nothing of the sort...
Giyuu: Aaaam... Is something wrong?
Tengen: Oh, not at all, but since you accepted the other payment method, we just want to get a clear picture of how your expressionless face is going to change.
Giyuu: (w-what...?)
As if by a breeze, they both threw themselves at him. Within seconds, Giyuu had his arms tied behind his head, gently of course. Of all the things that could have happened, this wasn't even on the list.
He was confused. What were those two planning to do to him? Then he understood everything. The smile, the "peculiar" way he was tied up, meant only one thing...
Tengen: A question and we hope you will be honest in the answer.
Giyuu: Huh...?
Rengoku: Tomioka, by any chance, are you ticklish?
Giyuu: Me? Ticklish? You saw that Mitsuri tried to tickle me and failed, obviously I'm not.
Rengoku: Of course we saw her attempt! But we were thinking, maybe you're ticklish in other places! And maybe there too, but you're good at controlling your reactions, and vice versa!
He felt trapped, he was ticklish, of course, his happy times with Tsutako and Sabito made that clear, but he hoped that having managed not to laugh at Mitsuri's attacks, earning more and more hatred from Obanai, he would have come away unscathed from the thought that, deep down, he was ticklish.
Tengen: We take your silence as a yes, Rengoku, do you have any suggestions?
Rengoku: We should go slowly until we get the jackpot, what do you think?!
Tengen: You read my mind, we should start like this!
That was unexpected, okay, Giyuu mentally prepared himself, he could handle it, he had to be able to handle it! Only, Tengen and Rengoku really didn't keep their promise...
As stated at the beginning, they were analyzing Giyuu all day, taking into account which spots might not be as ticklish and which ones might be.
Tengen: So... *he said, taking one of his legs* do you think it will work here?
Rengoku: Absolutely! We have nothing to lose by trying either!
Giyuu: Th-th-this is unnecessary...
Rengoku: Hahahaha, calm down Tomioka!*slowly dragged his fingers from his ears to his neck* we've got this all figured out! Just stay still and we'll be done soon!
Giyuu internally struggled to keep his face from blushing, not even a little, but it was impossible when he felt a pair of fingers gently caressing his neck and a few squeezes on his calves.
A somewhat forced smile formed on his face. He didn't want to laugh so easily, but they weren't letting him. At what point did they even manage to make him nervous?!
Rengoku: Hahahaha! Look at that, Tengen! It seems our dear friend here is refusing to give us a smile!
Tengen: I see that, and you saw how his cheeks are turning a little red?
Rengoku: Hahahahahaha you read my mind my friend! I didn't think Tomioka was so easy to tease!
Giyuu: T-th-thahat's n-nohohot tr-true...!
Tengen: Come on, you know very well that liars win. Why don't you accept reality? You're so ticklish and perhaps quite
Giyuu: G-gu-guhuhuys... P-ple-pleheasehe...
Both of their eyes widened. Had he just said "please"? In just the first few minutes of tickling? Oh man, this would be fun...
Tengen: Well, well, well... Who would have thought it? Now it's clear to us that you're pretty strong. Imagine handling your reactions the same way you did before!
Rengoku: You can say that! Oh my, why did you keep this from us, Tomioka? Just think what would have happened if you had told us earlier!
Just thinking about it made him even more nervous, his face flushed with embarrassment, his blush spreading from his cheeks to his ears and neck.
He wanted to try to think of something else, but they kept reminding him of every time they could have made him smile before.
Tengen: Hey, no need to be shy! Or is it that you just don't like accepting the fact that you're a ticklish kid?
That was the final blow, despite his will, Giyuu squeal and immediately regretted it. How could he not? Uzui has excellent hearing, and Rengoku was one of those people who wouldn't let details like that slip by so easily.
Rengoku: How adorable! So it's also confirmed that you're very easy to tease! Should we tell that to the others?
Tengen: Mmmm, I don't know, maybe he doesn't want it... Also, if he wanted to, would we do it before or after?
Giyuu: B-behehefohohore o-o-or ahahafteheheher whahahahat?!
Oh, damn, he fell for it again, giving them free rein to do whatever they wanted. He mentally slapped himself, but that was the least of his problems.
Soon, a pair of fingers slid down to his ribs and another pair straight to his hips. He screamed, but no matter how hard he tried to squirm to escape, the alien fingers seemed to be stuck to him, even if they went up or down, or went to other places, they seemed to be stuck to his body.
Giyuu: STOHOHOHOHOP!!! N-NO MOHOHOREHEHE!! I-I SUHUHURREHEHENDEHEHEHER!!!
Rengoku: Tomioka, you need to be more specific! What exactly are you looking for? To stop the teasing? To stop us from attacking those spots?
Tengen: I don't think he wants us to stop, he doesn't even seem to put the slightest effort into getting us away from him, hah
Giyuu: SHUHUHUHUT!!! FUHUHUHUHUCK GUHUHUHUYS I-IT'S SO BAHAHAHAHAHAHAD!!!
They both let out an "innocent" giggle, but they didn't stop, there was something that told them that Giyuu really didn't want them to stop. Maybe it was that he didn't specify that they wanted him to stop? Maybe he seemed to enjoy it instead of hating it? They couldn't explain.
They were only right about one thing, Giyuu's "attempts" to "escape" weren't even close to desperate. He just squirmed, laughed freely, as if none of it really mattered to him, as if he felt liberated from something and, mainly, safe.
Rengoku: You know? There's only one way to-...
Giyuu: FIHIHIHIHINE!!! I-I AHAHACCEHEHEPT IT!!! I'M TIHIHIHICKIHIHIHISH!!! V-... R-REHEHEHEALLY TI-TIHIHICKLISH!!! PLEHEHEHEASEHEHEHEHEHE!!!
Surprising, huh? They both immediately stopped, letting him catch his breath as they analyzed what had happened. Rengoku hadn't finished the sentence and he immediately knew what he was going to ask him for.
Tengen: Wow, looks like someone has tickled you before, mmm?
Rengoku: Hahahaha, come on Tengen, let him rest a little, he's done a very good job and above all! He has an adorable smile on his face!
Tengen: You're right, that's the important thing. But tell us how you feel, Tomioka?
To be honest, Giyuu didn't even want to look at them, he felt ashamed of having given in to them so easily, and if he had to be terribly honest, he liked it...
Giyuu: Just... Don't tell anyone...
Tengen: Mmm, promised, but with one condition
Giyuu: What would it be...?
Rengoku: If you ever feel bad, need a laugh, or want some company, come to us! No one else will know if you do that!
Giyuu: .... Fine...
