Writing requests
Important - I will only be taking request for Genshin Impact
Currently - Open
(Please also keep in mind that when the school season is in progress it will be very difficult for me to respond to any request at all)
"Why are you writing?"
2 big reasons
. I was bored
. I also is loved the Genshin impact tickle docs and wanted to write some of my own
Of course at first I was very nervous with this because putting yourself out into the world of the internet for people to see and judge you at least in concept is scary, however one of my favorite authors and bloggers on this platform @aticklishpercivalwriter was a big inspiration for me not only writing but also when he followed me it gave me the biggest boost in confidence and I suddenly felt like I could write anything as long as I really tried to put my best effort out there. Also please go check out Percival's blog as he makes some really great stuff that I couldn't recommend enogh.
Q/A
For what you can ask me is really entirely up to you, however keep in mind if its weird or gross in any way I won't respond. For the most part though please ask me anything and I will try to respond as fast as I can.

A/N: I came across the light novel a few weeks ago and immediately feel in love with it. Later on, I even found out that there is a manhwa to it, that roughly covers the entire available novel up to now. The relationship between Cale and the Raon is such a cute one and upon reading it, I couldnât help but write a little something with this âfather-sonâ duoâŠ
Summary: Cale just wanted to have a peaceful morning, though Raon had other plans⊠Â
Words: 1,673 words under the cut
It was a quiet, sunny morning in the Henituse Estate. The soft golden light of dawn spilled through the tall windows of Caleâs bedroom, warming the polished wooden floor and lazily stretching across the room until it reached the edge of the bed. On that bed, buried under a luxurious blanket, was the (in)famous lout still sound asleep, peacefully.
Only a mess of red hair stuck out from the top⊠and a single foot was carelessly poking out from under the covers, toes relaxed, heel slightly hanging over the edge. Cale Henituse had declared war against the morning and he was determined to win by doing absolutely nothing. â...Mmph.â Â
He shifted slightly, his foot twitching once as a soft breeze from the cracked window brushed over it. Still half-asleep, he sighed and buried himself deeper into the comfy mattress. The bed was warm. The world outside was full of stress and work and worst of all people. Today, he would stay in bed and rest his âoverworkedâ body. No responsibilities. No plans.
Just ten more minutes - no, thirty - and maybe heâd be a real human again⊠Well, maybe. âHuman! Human!â Cale visibly winced as a bright, cheerful voice pierced through the silence. âItâs time to wake up! Letâs eat! Or play! Or read together!â âRaonâŠâ Cale groaned from beneath the blanket, dragging the name out like an exhausted sigh, âitâs too early.â
The blanket rustled. There was a soft flump as something light landed on the bed. âHuman~â Raon chirped, creeping closer. âAre you hiding from me?â âNo Iâm not.â âBut youâre not even looking at me, human!â Cale didnât respond. He hoped maybe if he stayed silent long enough, Raon would wander off and bother someone else instead.
He did not, instead the little creature tilted his head, his blue eyes narrowing on the foot still sticking out from the end of the blanket, his tail giving one interested twitch. Carefully, he padded forward. His nose crinkled slightly in mischief. âHuman~â he sing-songed, stretching the word in that way only he could manage.
The little dragon was this close to sticking his nose under the blanket when something strange happened. With no real intention, his tail swayed and lightly brushed against the soft skin of Caleâs heel and sole, causing a sudden jolt from under the covers. â-Hhkk!â
The redheadâs foot twitched violently and immediately disappeared under the blanket, like a turtle retracting into its shell, with a sharp hiss that turned into something suspiciously close to a snort. Raon blinked. â...Human?â he said slowly. Silence. âWas that- Did I-?â
Curious, the little dragon backed up, then purposely pushed the - now covered - foot with one of his tiny paws again. This time, the foot twitched even stronger and a muffled groan came from beneath the sheets. âStop that,â Cale muttered, voice gravelly with sleep, âRaon. Go⊠read a book. Or terrorize Vicross. Something quiet.â
âOhhh?~â Raonâs ears perked up. âHuman, are you⊠ticklish?â he asked, having learned about its fundamentals just a few days ago. âNo,â Cale answered a little bit too quickly. Raonâs eyes glinted like a catâs spotting a mouse. âThe great and mighty Raon Miru has discovered another one of your many weaknesses~â he declared proudly.
âIâm not,â the redhead tried to argue, but he could already feel the doom approaching. âYou are ticklish! You just jumped like someone lit a spark under you!â âI was just cold,â Cale insisted, but he could already feel his face heating up - or was it because he was still hidden under his comfy blanket?
Raon let out something like a huff and before Cale could react, he had already dove under the blanket, tail twitching excitedly. âIâm gonna proof your ticklish, weak human~â That caught Caleâs attention. âDoHonât you dare,â he warned, even though he was already starting to snort.
âDoHohonât even think about- hhng! RaHahon st-stoHohop!â he tried to stifle a laugh, but the first chuckles were already escaped him, turning into a sharp inhale when Raonâs little horns gently nudged against his side. Okay, he was ticklish⊠really ticklish, but he couldnât let him find out⊠well it was probably too late for that. âPfftFt⊠NGhghh, noHohot thEhehre!â
Cale tried to curl up tighter, but Raon didnât let that stop him and just nuzzled his snout up into his ribs, brushing against the fabric of Caleâs pajama shirt, as he twisted and wiggled with all the excitement of a child on sugar. âYou lied to me human~â Raon giggled, his front paws wiggling over his upper body, earning more and more laughter from the redhead.
âNoHohoho hahAhahAhah- g-geHeheht off! Thatâs my ribs, Raon! HaHAHAhhahahah! I'm going to- *snrk* throHohow you out the window!â he tried to intimidated him, but the creature bluntly ignored his words - there where bigger fish to catch and more tickle spots to find. After all, he rarely got to hear this human making such funny noises.
So, all Cale could do, was trying to bear with it, while laughing his head off. âSt-Stop! AhAhahHAah! Y-You liHihihittle menace!â he breathed out, already feeling tears of mirth forming in his eyes. Why had this body be so damn sensitive? He hadn't been so ticklish back in his original one and Cale really wondered why it now was.
âTHE GREAT AND MIGHTY RAON MIRU IS NOT A MENACE!â Raon argued playfully, his wings fluttered every time Cale shifted, as he added his tail into the tickle attack as well, dragging it skillfully over his stomach and lower sides, before he sneaked it under his shirt. This made Cale explode and the redhead couldnât believe how sensitive it made him feel.
âStoHOhop iHIhit! NoHOhoT thEhehre! RAhHahon!! HAhahAHAHAHha!â Cale laughed, no almost screamed and he wondered why Ron or the twins, hadnât already stormed into his room, though he would prefer if all of them would stay away, not wanting to be seen in this kind of âpredicamentâ. âYouâre so sensitive human~â Raon teased, having the time of his life.
By now, he had robbed high enough so that his nose now poked against Caleâs collarbone. âIâm- ahAHAHAhahh I cahAhhnât!â Every time he tried to trap the tail or push it away, Raon squeaked and flailed and ended up brushing an entirely new ticklish spot.
Cale was now attacked on multiple spots and he had neither the energy nor the desire to do much against it. In fact, despite his protests, his voice was getting lighter with each laugh and his hands, instead of pushing Raon away, ended up gently wrapping around the little dragon in a half-hearted attempt to wrestle him into stillness. âHuman~ Do you want me to tickl-â
âOkay! Okay! Iâm awake, Iâm awake- ahHahahha Raon-!â Cale whined before Raon could continue. He couldnât win a discussion with the four-year-old anyways and he was too exhausted to do so. Raon finally paused, victorious, and popped his head out from under the blanket, his ears perked and eyes bright with joy as he smiled up at his human.
âYou look really happy!â he announced proudly. âYour eyes are sparkling!â âMy eyes have trauma,â Cale corrected, breathless and squinting at the ceiling, arms still loosely wrapped around the squirmy dragon as he caught his breath. âYouâre a rascal,â he muttered, voice soft but fond. Raon blinked. âA great and mighty rascal?â Cale snorted, lips twitching.
â...Sure. That.â There was a long, peaceful pause, then Caleâs fingers twitched. He sucked in a breath, eyes still watery from the ambush. ââŠYouâre going to pay for that,â he whispered darkly, his trademark grin creeping up on his face. Raon blinked, confused, until suddenly strong fingers wiggled along the sides of his belly.
âH-HUUH!?â Raon shrieked, twisting wildly under the blanket. âYOU- YOU SAID YOU WERE TIRED- HAHAHA- HUMAAAN!!â Cale rolled them gently so Raon was tucked into the crook of his arm and proceeded to calmly tickle up and down the dragonâs belly. âH-HUMAN! YOU TRAITOR! I- I AM- HAHAHAHA- THE M-MIGHTY- NOOO- NOHOT THE BELLY!â
The redhead smirked with a satisfying grin on his face. âI warned you,â Cale said, his voice smug, âbut no one ever listens to me~â âTRAITOR! FALSE HUMAN! BETRAYER OF DRAGONS!â Raon squealed, his laughter hiccupping into high-pitched giggles. Though, he made no really attempts to escape it. âI- I SHALL REMEMBER THIS!â
âOf course you will~â he teased as he used one arm to pin the dragon gently against his chest while his other hand sneakily dug into Raonâs soft sides and underarms. His scales felt soft and Cale couldnâtâ help but smile along with him.
âNOHOHOHO H-HUMAHAN! STOHOP!â Raon cried out. Cale chuckled, but he immediately slowed down his assault until he was simply holding Raon close, rubbing small soothing circles along his back. âYouâre warm,â he mumbled, âmaybe youâre useful after all.â Raon panted dramatically and puffed up his chest.
âOf course I am useful! I am always useful. You should keep me as a blanket every morning.â Cale rolled his eyes. âThat was the plan. Until you turned into a tickling weapon of mass destruction.â Raon blinked innocently. â...That was an accident.â âYou did it again on purpose.â â...I was curious.â âHmm.â
They lay there for a moment, enjoying each otherâs company. The redhead sighed. âAlright,â he mumbled, âfive more minutes. But if you tickle me again, Iâm telling the twins about it.â Raon gasped. âYou would not!â âTry me.â A pause. Then a muffled snicker. â...Maybe just a little tail flick?â Cale cracked an eye open. âRaon.â
The little dragon giggled. âOkay, okay! Five minutes. No tickles. Just cuddles.â Cale nodded and pulled him closer, letting the dragon curl up under his chin, as he rubbed his head gently, smiling when Raon leaned into the touch. âGood,â he whispered, âyou're the only one allowed to invade my mornings like this.â Raon smiled, nuzzling into his human. âI shall invade them every day then.â Cale groaned, already regretting his words, but secretly, he didnât mind one bit.
For now Iâm doing ok, but Iâm just gonna place this here again just in case
Had to leave my job due to high stress mixed with moving prep, so if anyone is able to spread the word or have any commissions in mind, theyâll be open.
Even though I lost my 1.1k acc, I already said that the number of followers didn't matter so much to me, because I have so many interactions in silly and random posts rn.
I finally feel not so awkward to post, and I don't feel the urge to please people like before too HAHAHAHAH

Summary: Did you know fennec foxes are playful creatures? Cyno didn't.Â
Words: 1k+
He was not one to take work home, he preferred to finish all those matters at the end of his workday and enjoy his free time with Tighnari at home, however, Cyno had been terribly busy these past couple of days and the paperwork had piled up, (thanks to a certain Acting Grand Sage), so he decided to take just a little bit home, just to lighten the next day's load.Â
It wasn't going to take too long, he had told Tighnari, who was resting on the couch while Cyno read his papers at the Forest Watcher's desk, surrounded by botany books, notes and some ointments that smelled really good. Cyno had barely sat down in front of the desk, if he had to say, he had been at it for about five minutes when he felt something lean against his shoulder from behind; fur tickled his cheek and he smiled as he felt Tighnari's ear twitching against his skin.Â
âMissing me already?â He teased, smiling as he turned a page in the file in front of him. Tighnari did not answer, but his head nudged against Cyno's shoulder again, softly moving from side to side as if he was saying no. âI'll be done in just a few minutes, Nari, you wanna go to bed now- ack!âÂ
A poke to his bare waist made him jump nearly out of the roof. He reached out and captured Tighnariâs hand in his. âN-Nari, I'm really going to be finished in only a few minutes, could youâ n-noho!âÂ
Another poke to his other side had him giggling softly and Cyno quickly caught that hand as well, turning around to look at Tighnari. âWhatâ!âÂ
Tighnari had raised his head, their eyes meeting, and Cyno felt something funny swirling in his chest. Now, that was a look he didn't see often. Tighnari was smiling brightly at him, his toothy grin making Cyno flush a little. His beautiful eyes shone as brightly as the first rays of sunlight filtering through the leaves of the tall forest trees, a spark of playful malice in them. His adorable nose was scrunched up on one side, as if he were daring Cyno to do something. Cyno blinked a few times, slowly letting go of Tighnari's hands.Â
âWhat... do you need, Nari? I- ahahaha!â Tighnariâs hands latched to his waist and squeezed it, making Cyno giggle and rise from his seat like a spring. âNahari, what-âÂ
Turning to face Tighnari, the Forest Watcher quickly walked away, barely able to contain a chuckle as he continued to show his teeth in a wide smile and wrinkle his nose. Cyno didn't understand what was happeningâ he had never actually seen Tighnari behave that way, and for a moment he worried, thinking that maybe some plant spore had done something to him. He opened his mouth to speak again, but the only sound that left his lips was a squeal as Tighnari poked his exposed belly.Â
Cyno caught Tighnari's hand again, and to Cyno's surprise, Tighnari laughed, using his free hand to try to get away while letting out panicked giggles and Cyno understood, or at least he thought he did.Â
âOh? You want to play, Tighnari?â Tighnari's expression seemed to brighten even more and Cyno smiled, although he didn't really understand what was happening, however, who was he to deny something to Tighnari?Â
Cyno smirked and pulled Tighnari against him, his arm wrapping around Tighnari's waist as the other cupped his side. Tighnari jolted and he let out a laugh.Â
âI haven't done anything yet? Why are you giggling so much alreHEhe! Hohold ohon!âÂ
Cyno had to let go of him when his hips got tickled. Tighnari giggled and he quickly backed away, looking back as he slowly walked away. Oh, he wanted Cyno to chase him? How adorable. The Mahamatra chuckled and he faked Tighnari, making him think he was going to start running after him, Tighnari screamed and ran a few steps before realizing that Cyno was not chasing him yet, but then Cyno did it when Tighnari was distracted and in two strides, he almost caught him, but Tighnari was very agile and laughing like a child, he snuck away from Cyno.Â
Cyno chased him throughout the house and almost got dizzy as he circled the couch a thousand times. Tighnari was impossible to catch, moving so quickly from one side to the other that Cyno had tripped over his own feet many times already, but he was the Mahamatra and a very skilful one; he managed to corner Tighnari near the bed with his chasing skills, (and maybe a little luck), and finally trapped him in his arms, both falling to the bed with a soft 'thud'.Â
âGotcha, Nari,â he said and wasted no time. His hands glued to Tighnari's sides and started to squeeze them up and down.Â
Tighnari threw his head back with bright, happy giggles. His hands pawed weakly at Cyno's hands as he barely squirmed under Cyno's weight.Â
âCynohoho!âÂ
âOh, so you can talk, Nari. I thought a little mouse had eaten your tongue,â Cyno said playfully, straddling Tighnari's hips as his fingers climbed up towards his ribs. The fennecâs laughter turned louder and more panicky, but his hands simply wrapped around Cyno's wrists as his ribs were played like a new instrument. Cyno smirked. âLet's play the Nari~âÂ
His fingers ran over each rib and into the spaces between them and Cyno had to laugh as he noticed that Tighnari's laugh changed depending on where his fingers toyed, just like an instrument. The melody of his laughter became more intense and vibrant as Cyno played with his highest ribs, near the hollows of his armpits. If he went to the lowest ones, his almost hysterical laughter turned into frantic giggles that made him snort adorably.Â
âI'm composing a masterpiece," Cyno said, smiling widely. "Who knows, maybe Nilou will want to do a dance to this new melody of mine. What do you say, Nari?â
Tighnari couldn't do anything but laugh, his cheeks were red and Cyno thought they were even a little sore. His long black eyelashes were dampened with tears caused by laughter and glistened in the dim light of the room. Cyno rarely saw Tighnari laughing like that, not even his best jokes could make him laugh that hard, plus he usually didn't tickle him because Tighnari was brutal when he took revenge on him.Â
But Tighnari seemed to be having too much fun and something warm spread across Cyno's chest. Since when did Tighnari behave like this? Was it common for the Valuka Shuna race to be like this? He wondered, and would ask Tighnari about it some other time, right now he was busy making his lover happyâ but perhaps he was a bit too out of breath right now.Â
His hands slowed down until he was simply tracing each bone, so Tighnari could catch his breath. The Forest Watcher giggled sweetly, his hands wrapping around Cyno's wrists moved out of the way, (It wasn't like they were really trying to keep Cyno's hands away, anyway), and he willingly put his arms up by each side of his head.Â
To Cyno's surprise, Tighnari began to make a very peculiar sound. A sound he has never heard before, it was something likeâŠ
âAre you purring, Nari?âÂ
Cyno could definitely describe that sound as a purr, just a bit more squeaky
âHmm~â Tighnari nodded, giggling as Cyno lightly tickled his ribs. âChase me again.â
Cyno raised his brows. âAgain? I have to finish my paperwork, Nari, and-Â
âJust once, yes?â Tighnari begged with a saw expression. âDidn't you have fun?âÂ
Of course Cyno had fun. Tighnari wasn't like this all the time, he really thought this was some kind of wild instinct kicking in, and he definitely loved it, but he really needed to finish his work or else tomorrowâŠÂ
âJust once, yes? Then I'll help you with your w-wohohork- I sahahaid chahasing!âÂ
Cyno giggled, âof course, first try to escape and I'll chase you, how does that sound?â
It seemed like he'll have to worry about that paperwork tomorrow, right now he was very busy playing with his cute Tighnariâ stupid Acting Grand Sage could survive without those documents on time.
Summary: Kael (my persona) x Casper; Kael breaks down and talks with Casper about his life. Being vulnerable, if you will ;)
A/N: This is going to be a serious fic (with some cheer up tickles/tickles to prove a point). I hesitated to post this, but I really want you all to know more about me and what Iâm going through. I would like you to read it since, as Casper said, âWhy not write a fic to show the world how you're feeling? To subtly explain why you couldn't write the fics you wanted to write? To gift? Your writer's block? Your jealousy? And everything else you told me?â And this is what this fic is. Before you read the fic (if you want to), whether you are a new reader stumbling upon my fics or a follower of mine, I want to thank you for reading this far. And specifically to my community of friends and followers here on Tumblr, thank you from the bottom of my heart for making Tumblr, the tickle community, my home. And to my irl friends, if you ever stumble upon this fic, even though we rarely communicate, I am eternally grateful for the friendship we still have and the memories we shared. Without further ado, enjoy reading.

âKael, I heard that a mistletoeâ What's wrong?â
I wiped the tears from my eyes rapidly, giving Casper a smile that didn't quite reach my eyes.
âI must be an ugly mess to you, huh?â I joked, trying to downplay everything.
âKael, I know what you're doing, and it isn't going to work on me.â
âDo what?â I say, masking my panic and fear with a smile. He's going to find out. âI'm okay now, now that you're here,â I choke out, heart hammering in my chest and my surroundings suddenly going quiet. It's cold. All I can hear is just Casperâs voice and the voices in my head.
I'm just a burden to him. He won't love me anymore.
âTrying to hide your feelings from me.â
I'm going to be left behind, like what everyone did to me.
He squeezed my hand, and I looked up at him. He squeezed again, his eyes gleaming with concern, patient and reassuring.
âKael, you can always tell me anything.â
The dam broke right then, and there, harsh sobs ripped through me as I leaned into Casper, hugging him tightly.
He widened his eyes in surprise, pulling me towards him and rubbing soothing circles on my back.
âIt's okay. It's okay. I'm here, Sunshine. I'm here. I'm not going anywhere,â he softly spoke, making me cry even harder.
It was only after a few minutes that the waterworks started to lessen, and my breathing started to settle down, that Casper spoke up.
âAre you feeling better?â
âsniffles Yeah, I-I'm feeling better.â
âDeep breaths, okay?â
âO-Okay.â
I took in a few deep breaths, trying to calm down as Casper waited.
âI'm sorry you have to see me like thisâŠI'm just a worthless person.â
âKael, you aren't worthless or any of the negative things you say about yourself. You're the rays of sunlight that filter into my life. You're my whole world. Nothing about you is worthless.â
I nod, though his words didn't really reach me, and he could tell.
âWhat made you cry when I walked in?â he tried instead.
I tensed up at the question, scared of answering. I hated the feeling of confronting my problems and voicing them out loud. I'm the stable pillar that everyone relies on. That everyone expects to be perfect. I shouldn't have any problems.
I clenched at my chest, bunching up my clothing, wanting to make a smart remark, tell him to leave me alone. But then I look into his eyes, and the building rage in me suddenly vanished and was replaced with guilt.
He's only trying to help, and I'm getting mad at him. He's my lover too. It's unfair to him if I unleash my anger at him.
âCasper, I'm sorry. I'm so very sorry,â I start to cry again, tears forming. âI'm such a bad person. I-I shouldn't be this way.â
âBe what way, Kael?â He asked, knowing that trying to say everything's okay when it's not okay is not gonna help, as he gently combed my hair.
âThis,â I gesture to myself as if he could understand. âThis cycle of mine. I get triggered, feel pain and anger, and then clarity, which is where the logical part of my mind turns on and I realize how stupid, how-how terrible of a person I am, causing me to feel guilty before repeating all over again. That's why I avoided getting close to anyone; I knew that this was going to happen eventually. That doesn't mean I hated the times I spent with you! I didn't mean it to come out like that. If you want to break up with me, that's fiââ
âKaelron, get a hold of yourself. I told you, I'm not going anywhere.â
He hugged me close, rubbing my head soothingly.
âI feel like I lost the creative part of my life, Grimmy,â I started once I felt ready to speak again. He nodded to let me know he was listening. âThat spark. I feel that I have to please everyone now. Actually, itâs been that way for a while now, but it has been more apparent since Iâve been on Tumblr and in college. I feelâŠpressured to try to make something that everyone will enjoy, and if I don't get X amount of notes, it's a failure.â
ââŠHave youâŠever thought back on why you wanted to write tickling in the first place?â
ââŠI...I wanted to write because it was fun. IâŠenjoyed it. It was a way to convey my own yearning, my desires.â
âWhat's stopping you from doing that now compared to before?â
I relaxed into Casperâs hold, getting more comfortable as I thought.
âAs a writer starting out before, I had nothing to lose. I could write whatever I wanted, and I don't have to worry about whether or not people liked it or disliked it because it was what I wanted to write, and I'm in my own corner of the internet.â
âSo, what changed?â
I think for a moment before replying.
ââŠThere are just many people seeing my works now. And I justâŠI just don't want to scare them away. Or give them a reason to leave me when I explore new ideas.â
âIs that why you care so much about notes now?â
I look away shamefully and nod.
âIt's like a measure of my skill to me now. I know it's not accurate, but what else can I go on? How do I know I'm doing well?â
âDo you like what you write?â
âYeah, I love all my works IâŠwrite.â
âThere was hesitation in your voice.â
âItâs that I've been trying to be more joking, teasing. Trying so hard to make sure tickle spots, techniques, wordings, etc., are not repetitive.â
âWhy are you putting so many constraints on yourself?â
âWell, for one, it proved it works. You saw my work with My Honey, My Bee, and the fics that followed during that year. And reason two is, because writing characters like Xiao, Aether, Sethos, Scara, and the othersâŠthey're special to me. I want people to understand the universe I created in my head for them. It'sâŠreally all I haveâŠto be able to be seen and recognized. For being lonely in real life, besides you, of course, and just having no one to talk to and keeping my ideas locked away, Tumblr became my outlet. It became my world for these ideas. And when I can't convey those ideas properly, I'm worthless. When people don't understand, I'm a failure. And the notes on my fics reflect that. How can I call myself a writer when I can't translate the chaos of thoughts in my mind into a readable sentence, much less a fic? And three, although not as direct but still related, is time. I'm scared of being irrelevant, to be forgotten as a creator when I don't post for a while. And right now, I feel like I already have fallen off.â
âKaelâŠâ
âI justâŠI just want to create the best fics possible. I see all these great ideas in the world and great works from Mochii, Val, ppy, Ginny, Elian, Max, ticklygiggles, lovelynim, and more, and I feel terrible for not knowing ticklygiggles (Mia, I believe?) or lovelynim's (And is it Nim??) nicknames right now. But I just don't feel I can reach their level consistently. The detail they put into their work and the way that their work makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. Seeing characters come to life and their own individual styles is awesome. I justâŠdon't think I invoke that same feeling in others with my work.â
âKaelron, in my immortal life as a Grim Reaper, there was one saying that I always encountered. âThe creator will always be their own harshest critic.â Or something along those lines. And you're being very harsh with yourself.â
âBut it's justifiââ
âHave you seen your AO3 comments? What people say on Tumblr?â
âI do, and it's all positive, and I do believe it for a time, but then I just don'tâŠbelieve my work is that good.â
âKael, you put passion and love into your fics, and you thinking your ideas or latest fic is terrible doesn't change the fact that people like it in the long run. Sure, you don't have many notes when you just posted a fic, but that's supposed to happen. It doesn't make it terrible just because there are only one or two notes. You have to let it age like fine wine. And heck, you don't even need to look at the notes. You need to believe in yourself more. Trust in your own abilities. In my opinion, you create works that are on par with the creators you look up to. You,â he taps on my chest where my heart is, âhaven't realized it yet. You're trying too hard to be like them and relying too much on what people think when you're great as you are already.â
âI get what you're saying, Caspy, but I just feel like I got lucky andâ Wha!â
âNine Hells,â Casper muttered as he flipped me onto my back, pinning my arms to my sides. âFuck your imposter syndrome or whatever the hell is making you think this way. I want you to describe what you're feeling, right now, as you're pinned beneath me.â
âIâŠI,â I feel my mouth run dry as I stare up into his deep, majestic scarlet eyes, as I try to rack my brain for words. âI feelâŠanticipation, wanting to squirm and crawl away, but⊠gulp, the way you look at me gives me an excited feeling. I feel flustered beyond beliefâŠb-but I love every second of it.â
âGood. And now this.â
He begins to trace random outlines over my belly, and I burst into giggles.
âIhihit r-reheheally tihihickles andâ Ahahaha! Grihihimmy! Hmm? Your t-tohohouches ahahare so sohoft and lihihight. Iâm q-quivehehering just from yohohour fihihingeheherâ ehehe, Cahahasper!â
âBetter. How about what you want now?â he continues, adding another finger.
âGrihihim! Thihis ihihis embahaharrassing!â I try to tell him.
âI'm not going to stop until you tell me~â
I whine at that, opening my eyes that I didn't know I squeezed shut, and seeing Grimmy smiling down at me made me even more ticklish.
âI-I gehehet morehe t-tihicklish ahahas tihihime passes. Ahahaha! I wahahant mohohore tihihickles a-and tohoho be teheheased. I feel my heheheart skihihip a beheat as you cohohontinue. Ihihitâs an addihihictive feelihihing.â
âWonderful. Or should I say,â he leans downward whispering into my ear. âGood boy~â
I squeak at that, giggling some more before I yelp, and laughter starts pouring out of me.
âCAHAHASââ
âYou're such an adorable little thing~ Look at you squirm and melt into my touch~â
âTHAHAHAT'S NOHOHOT FAHAHAIR!â I cry out, feeling more flustered.
âI'll stop once you tell me what you're feeling one more time.â
âIHIHITâS A MADDENING SEHEHENSATION! P-PLEHEHEHEASE! GRIHIHIM!â
âGo on, Kael~ I know thereâs more than that. I'll even help you, coochie coochie coo~â
âBWAHAHAHAHA! THEHEHE TEHEHEASES AREHEHE EHEHEVIL BUHUHUT MAHAKE MEHEHE HAHAHAPPY! I-IHIHITâS LIHIHIKE TIHIHIHICKLISH SPAHAHARKS ARE GOHOHOING TO MY BRAHAIN! IHIHI WAHANT MOREHEHE BUHUT I AHAHALSO WAHAHANT IHIHIT TO STOHOHOHOP!â
âAhh, you're so cute, my mortal.â
Casper eventually stops, but not without a few more squeezes to my side and whispered teases.
âThahahat wahahas mehehehean!â I whine, covering my face with my hands now that he let me go.
âYou liked it though~â
To that, I responded with another whine.
âBut in all seriousness, though,â he continued. âDo you see it now? You were able to describe the feelings you were having while being tickled, the sensations, everything. You are capable of making a fantastic fic, you always have been.â
I think for a moment and nod, âYouâre rightâŠâ
âYou donât sound sure. Do I need to tickle you some more?â
âNo! I-I got it!â I giggled, putting my hands up defensively. âIâll try to believe in myself more.â
âGood boy.â
âC-Casper! Stop saying thattttt!â I whine, covering my face.
âYou are so weak to teases, itâs so adorable.â
âCasssss.â
âThough mortal,â Casper goes all serious once more. âI sense that thereâs one more thing plaguing your mind.â
The smile on my face falls away before looking to the side and at our center table in the living room.
âHow do you know?â
âJust call it a Grim Reaper sense.â
I chuckle before turning back to him and pulling him into my arms, cuddling him.
âYou remember I talked about Mochii and the others, right?â
âMhmm.â
âYeah, so, even though I admire and look up to them, I sometimes, actually most of the time, getâŠjealous.â
âJealous? Why?â
I curl further into Casperâs warmth, my voice getting muffled.
âI havenât posted a lot since I started my third year of college, and just seeing them post things makes me feel like Iâm falling behind or being forgotten. And I getâŠangry. More at myself, but I will admit a sliver is at them, but they never did anything wrong, and that makes me feel guiltier. They donât deserve that. Like how I just got mad at you initially before it fell away. It was unfair to you, as it is unfair to them. That's why I don't hop on Tumblr a lot anymore because it hurts to see others doing what I love better than I could.â
Kael got mad at me? When? When we were talking earlier? How did I not notice? Heâs really a master at hiding his emotions.
Casper thought to himself as he patted my back to calm me.
âHave you ever talked to anyone about this besides me?â
ââŠâ
âKael?â
ââŠn-no.â
âWhy not?â
âIt's because I donât want to lash out in rage. SoâŠI keep my feelings buried. I avoidâŠtalking about myself to anyone. Especially the ones closest to me. Itâs also because Iâm scared of what theyâll think of me. The ones I look up to and loveâŠturning their back on me and n-never looking back⊠ThatâsâŠwhat scares meâŠlike I mentioned before. Being left alone. Left behind. AbandonedâŠâ
I lightly cry into his chest as he hugs me tighter and kisses my forehead.
âI just want to talk to my friends either irl or on Tumblr, but sometimes they donât end up responding, and that makes me anxious. Logically, I know theyâre busy, but the other side of my brain goes thinking that theyâre ignoring me or Iâm being annoying, so I just never reach out or follow up. And then when they do reach out, I feel guilty, and itâs just this cycle all over again.â
âKael.â
âYeahâahahaha!? Cahahahsper?!â
âYou really need to stop overthinking, and we need to work on your self-confidence.â
âHehehey! Lehehet mehehe behehehe sahahahad!â I tried to protest, only to cackle when Grimmy hit a sensitive spot.
âI'm not letting you stay sad. You've been suffering long enough.â
âYou'rehehe mahaking mehe sufferer moreheheâEYAHAHAHA! WAIT! GAHAHAHA!â
âYou are a stubborn brat, you know.â
Casper stopped after a while as I took in gulps of air.
âI know it's going to take a lot of change to get into that thick skull of yours,â Casper started. âto get you to stop overthinking and have more self-confidence, to be able to enjoy your friendsâ work. And you opening up after all these years is a big step.â
He paused, rubbing our noses together and giving me a kiss before continuing.
âJust keep talking with Mochii, Val, Cardd, and reach out to other members of the tickle community when you're ready, or they might reach out to you too. And try to go back on Tumblr and look at your favorite blogs again. Don't overthink, though, Kael. Just enjoy what you see.â
I nod, âOkayyy.â
We cuddled some more until a ding from my phone interrupted us.
âI'll get it,â Casper says, and I run my hands over his muscles and abs as he reaches over to the nearby table.
âWhere do you think you're touching?â he asks, amused and handing me my phone.
âYou're just so sexy, and I can't get enough of you.â
âHeh, I know~ You do moan my name every time weââ
âCasper!â I pout, slapping his chest.
He just giggles softly, putting his head on my shoulder as he watches me navigate my phone.
âIt's Cardd, Mochii, Val, andâŠppy?â I murmur.
As I read through the messages, Casper can see a soft smile spreading across my face.
(Thanks for the birthday gift my friend...)
(Your fic also made my morning, so cute. Thank you again đ„ș)
(if you really plan to write this, that's amazing! and please, don't rush)
(Thank you so much for the mimo â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž)
âSee, Kael?â he spoke gently. âYou didn't have to worry about anything. They're still your friends, and they havenât abandoned you, and youâre making new ones too. Your followers are right by your side, too, no matter how long you're gone for.â
âYeah, you're right,â I look back at Casper with a gleeful smile that showed in my eyes. Something that catches Grimmy off guard. It was a smile that he hadn't seen in a while, but heâs glad it's back.
âWhy don't you write a fic about everything we talked about?â
âAre you sure? It's something that I don't think people wouldââ
âDo you want people to understand how you're feeling?â
ââŠI do butââ
âKael, you put so much pressure on yourself to craft the perfect and bestest fic to please others. But no one knows that pressure besides me. Why not write a fic to show the world how you're feeling? To subtly explain why you couldn't write the fics you wanted to write? To gift? Your writer's block? Your jealousy? And everything else you told me? Put it down into words and have people read them. So, they can understand you. So you don't feel alone.â
He rubs reassuringly on my back.
âSometimes, you need to express the hurt coming from here,â he rubs the spot where my heart is. âTo be able to move forward.â
I let his words sink in before letting out a soft smile.
âIâŠI will write that fic.â
âThat's my Sunshine.â
He ruffles my hair lovingly, giving me a kiss on the cheek before heading to the kitchen.
âOh, by the way. Make sure to add me as the sexiest Grim Reaper that you are so down bad for~,â he teases, shooting me a wink.
âShut up,â I laugh, giving him a playful glare before writing only two words when my brain finally clicks that Casper is in the kitchen.
âCasper!â
As I sprinted to the kitchen and giggles and squeaks filtered into the living room, my cursor was left flashing after the words I had written:
Being Vulnerable
â
Bonus:
âAbout that mistletoe thingââ
âLetâs do it.â
âI didnât even complete my sentence!â
âI know all about the mistletoe things and kissing and all that, and I want it all, with you.â
âYou are a greedy mortal, you know that?â
âIâve probably been told that one or two times by a certain reaper~â
Casper shook his head fondly before hanging a mistletoe on the kitchen doorway.
âNowââ
I didnât even let him finish his sentence before I jumped at him and wrapped my legs around him as he held me from the butt.
âMmn~â
âMmmm~â
We shared a passionate kiss for a few moments before we had to break apart for air, a line of spit connecting each of our lips before breaking.
[Notes: HAII @supersleepydreams, youâre my squealing santa this year!!! ahhh i love the pretty pink yuri, sorry this came late i was super busy with studying cuz i have mock exams rn ;-;;;]
Pairing: Ler!Yae, Lee!Kokomi (Romantic)
Word count: 600~
Summary: Kokomi is curious about the culture of kitsunes, and she visits the only person, or kitsune, she knows who could fulfil her curiosities. Little did she know, Yae Mikoâs way of teaching might be a little more âticklishâ than she thought.
------------------
âM-mistress Yae Miko⊠Letâs keep this professional, please?â Kokomi flinched as the Head Shrine Maiden stepped closer, her fingers wiggling in front of Kokomi as she slowly approached the Priestess.
Kokomi felt her blood rush into her head, the butterflies in her stomach only grew with each step Yae Miko took towards her.
She took a few steps back, hoping to maintain a distance between her and the approaching fox-lady. She took another few steps back, until her back hit the wall of the shrineâs meeting room.
The devilish grin on Yae Mikoâs face only grew widerâŠ
-------- A few moments earlier --------
âIâm honoured to have this meeting with you, Mistress Yae Miko.â Kokomi spoke. Her tone was professional and masterly, honed by the years of experience being the priestess of Watatsumi Island.
She had decided to seek Yae Miko to learn more about the cultures of kitsunes. A meeting was quickly organised between the two. A few days had passed since her request for a meeting, and now she found herself visiting the Grand Narukami Shrine, sitting in a well-decorated room across from the pink-haired shrine maiden.
The room had a comfortable atmosphere; the tatami mats underneath were warm to the touch, in contrast to the colder climate outside.
Kokomi had her hands placed on her knees âAs I have said before, I would like to learn more about the modern Kitsune culture local to Inazuma.â she started. âSince the both the sakoku and the vision hunt decree have halted, I believe it would be of my interest to learn more of Inazumaâs traditions.â
âWellâŠâ Yae Miko started, bringing her finger to her chin as she ponders, a smirk appears on her face, âFirstly, I think itâs well known that kitsunes are rather⊠playfulâ
Kokomi felt her stomach drop at the tease. She nodded, hinting to Yae Miko to continue. âAnd when kitsunes are in a rather playful mood, they tend to do⊠thisâ
Yae Mikoâs fingers were currently scribbling all around the soft skin of Kokomiâs exposed stomach, occasionally dipping her fingernails into her navel, earning her a high-pitched squeak from the hydro user.
âAwww, isnât this adorable?â Yae Miko cooed out from on top of Kokomi, who was currently pinned under the shrine maiden on the floor. âThe well-respected priestess of Watatsumi Island is, in fact, ticklish!â
The tickling was driving Kokomi to melt into a puddle of laughter, and the baby talk from Miko wasnât helping. The blush on her face grew pinker, almost matching the light shade of pink of her hair.
âNahahahHAHa!â Laughter poured out of Kokomiâs mouth. Her arms flaied around, like a fish out of water.
Miko immediately grabbed one of her hands, pulling them up and over her head, giving Miko full access to her torso. She wasted no time greedily digging into her most ticklish spots.Â
Snorts and squeals escaped Kokomi as she felt Mikoâs devilish fingers scratch around her ribs. She used her other hand and swatted at Miko as an attempt to fight back from the tickles. âWahaHAHAHAiT! Ihihi- *hiccup* Itâs soHOhooh tihihIHicklish!â
âMy, my, I had no idea, miss Sanganomiya! I just thought you found me hilariously humorous!â Miko teased. Kokomi whined through her laughter in response to the sarcasm.
Small sparks of electro energy left Mikoâs long-nailed fingers, the ticklish sensation from it drove Kokomi to hysterical cackles, to which the smirk on Yae Mikoâs face grew.
A/N: I saw this scene in the new âanecdotes eventâ in Genshin and this story immediately popped up in my mind. So here we are, back with another story ft. lee!Aether~
Summary: Upon Aetherâs return to Inazuma, he has a fateful encounter at the Grand Narukami Shrine.
Words: 1,154 words under the cut
The late evening air in Inazuma was peaceful, tinged with the warm scent of sakura and faint incense lingering from the Grand Narukami Shrine. Pale moonlight filtered through the trees, casting dappled shadows across the worn stone path leading to the top of Mt. Yougou.
Aether's boots clicked softly against the stone as he ascended the final steps, a nostalgic flutter rising in his chest. It had been so long since he'd been here, too long. Sumeru, Fontaine, Natlan⊠the nations had pulled him far from Inazuma, and although the adventures there had been thrilling, nothing compared to the calming elegance of this place.
Strangely, the shrine was quiet. No Miko in sight, no offerings being placed, not even a trace of Yae Mikoâs usual playful aura in the air. That absence made his chest feel hollow for a moment. He had hoped to see her again. So much had changed since he last stood here.
The energy of the Archons, the new memories he carried, and most of all⊠the warmth he secretly missed. Just as he passed the crimson torii gate, soft wind whispered past his ears and suddenly, a hand covered his eyes from behind. Aether froze. âWhat the-!?â How could some sneak up on him with him noticing?
Before he could spin around, he felt another hand slipping through his off-guard defenses, starting to brush directly across his bare stomach. âW-Wai- ahhH! AH-haha! N-NoHOho! WHahAHat?!â The gentle yet precise wiggle of nimble fingers danced right across his soft skin, teasing the sensitive area just above his navel.
Aether doubled over immediately, a burst of helpless giggles tearing from his lips. His knees buckled, and he squirmed in the grasp. âHaHAHAHHA! Wha-HAHA! No nohoho, stahap thahahat! P-PleheHEhehease!â From behind him, a silken giggle curled around his ear like warm mist, followed by a teasing purr: âGuess who, Little One~?â
Aetherâs laughter only intensified at the sound of her voice. Her fingers didnât pause, no, they only grew more confident, fluttering gently over the hollow of his tummy, circling his belly button, then gliding sideways with light, feathery strokes. His muscles clenched in response, but there was nowhere to escape.
âY-Yae! HahAhahAh! Yae M-Mihihiko! Itâs Yaehehehe!â the blodne laughed, relaxing a bit now that he knew who it was. âCorrect~â she sang with smug satisfaction, removing the hand that still covered his eyes, only for it to start tickling him as well. âAhAhah plEhehase iHihit tiHickles sohOho much!â
At that, she let her fingers slow down a bit⊠but not stop. Now they drifted teasingly, tracing slow, maddening spirals over the sides of his stomach, brushing right over the skin with the tips of her nails. Aether let out a squeaky giggle, grabbing her wrists but unable to do much more than wriggle helplessly in her arms.
âYae! Th-This is soHo meHean! Y-You sneak attackehed me!â âMmm, and here I thought youâd be more alert after your time abroad. But no, youâre still as deliciously ticklish as I remember~â she purred, her breath ghosting over his ear. Her fingers began to explore again, this time targeting his hips, pressing them softly.
The touch made the blonde yelp and break into full-blown laughter. âNOHOHO! Not thehehere! Wahahait! Y-Yae- aHAhAhah!â âOh? Here?â she asked innocently, her voice full of mischief as she pressed two fingers into the spot just below his lowest ribs and wiggled them firmly. âNAHAHA! I CAHANâT! Y-Yaehehe! coOHohme oHOon!â
His entire body jerked at the sensation as he collapsed into a squirming heap, still half trapped in her arms, his face flushed crimson and his golden hair sticking to his damp forehead. âOh, my~â Yae Miko chuckled. âStill so hopelessly ticklish on your sides. And here I was worried youâd toughened up during your travels.â
Aether tried to speak, but another giggle bubbled up, and she struck again - her hands now darting beneath his arms to tickle around his ribs from behind, forcing a high-pitched squeal from the blonde Traveler when she pressed them in-between. âYAE! WAHAHAHA! NOHOHO MOHOHORE! I GIHIVEHEHE!â
âOh, donât be so dramatic, Little One. Iâve barely even started,â she cooed. Her fingers slowed only to trace long, lazy shapes up and down his sides, her nails drawing invisible lines that sent shivers racing through him. Aether tried to twist away, but his body was far too busy twitching and laughing to escape properly.
His bare skin was so damn sensitive, every grazing touch from her fingers felt electric. âYouâre so reactive,â Yae mused, her voice low and delighted, âlook at you, blushing and laughing like a child. You mustâve missed me terribly.â Aether, barely able to breathe through his laughter, wheezed: âI-I did! I-I missed yohohou but not thihihis!â
âOh, donât lie. You know you enjoy it; you couldâve escaped any time~â Her hands moved again, this time skimming back down to his belly, drawing teasing loops around his navel, occasionally darting a finger right into it, which made him jerk and squeal uncontrollably.
âYAE! S-STOHOHOP! I- AHAHAHA I CAHAHAHNâT!â âHmhmhm~ But youâre smiling, arenât you?â His knees gave out completely as her tickling intensified just for a moment, sending him into one last helpless flurry of laughter before she finally let him go.
Aether crumpled to the ground with a dramatic sigh, his arms flopping over his stomach as he gasped for breath. He was beet red, giggling softly even after sheâd stopped. âYou *huff* Youâre so cruel,â he panted, looking up at her with wide, watery eyes and a dazed, lopsided grin.
Yae Miko stood tall and graceful above him, the soft glow of the shrineâs lanterns illuminating her pink hair and serene smile. She knelt beside him and brushed a bit of hair from his damp forehead with surprisingly gentle fingers.
âIâm happy youâre alright,â she said softly, a more tender smile gracing her lips, âand even happier to find you still just as ticklish as you were when you left.â Aether laughed breathlessly, covering his flushed face with both hands. âI come back hoping for a peaceful reunion and get ambushed like thisâŠâ
âOh, donât be so pouty, Little One. I had to welcome you back properly. And besidesâŠâ she leaned closer, whispering playfully, âyou laughed so beautifully.â Aether peeked through his fingers at her, a shy smile tugging at the corners of his lips. âYeah⊠I missed that too. The teasing. Your voice. Even your wicked fingersâŠâ âOh? Do I hear an invitation for round two?â
His eyes went wide. âNOPE! No no! Iâm good, perfectly good. No more tickling!â Yae chuckled, resting her chin on her hand as she watched him scramble slightly away, still giggling under his breath.
The sound, the warmth, the comfort - it was all back, just as it should be. âWelcome home, Little One,â she said softly. Aether smiled up at her, cheeks still pink but eyes shining. âThanks⊠itâs good to be back.â
A/N: Originally for TickleTober 2025, Day 5, (not much sorcery, if u count a tiny bit of magic as sorcery) Nonetheless, hope you enjoy and happy reading!! For my good friend, @blankcarddâs birthday back in October! Sorry it's late đđ

âEarl Grey is the best.â
âWhat are you talking about?! Itâs definitely barley tea.â
Loud voices rang out from within the Dukeâs office where Lyney was standing in front of Wriothesleyâs desk, and Wrio himself was sitting in his chair behind it. Both of them were arguing about teas of all things.
âIâll have you know that the taste of Earl Grey is bold and slightly bitter with a citrusy taste. Better than your earthy-tasting barley tea.â
âExcuse me? Thatâs what makes barley tea, barley tea! Along with that toasty and nutty flavor.â
âYouâre so wrong, it is laughable.â
âOh yeah, let me give you something else to laugh at.â
Lyney snapped his fingers, and two feathers materialized out of thin air and darted towards Wrio's neck, dusting the sensitive skin there.
âWait, whahahat? Nohoho stahahap!â he was interrupted by his own giggles, making the magician smirk smugly.
âAbra-feather-cadabra.â
Lyney walked up to Wrio, taking pride in making him squirm as he lifted his front and joined in, fluttering his fingers against his abdomen, making the other squeal and swat at his arms.
âLyney, nohoho! Nohohot therehehe! â
"Not here, hmm?â Lyney teases, his fingers leaving featherlight touches in their wake, making Wrio shake his head in ticklish mirth.
"Tehehell your feheheathers to stohohop theirâ EYAHAHA!â
The feathers slipped down his neck and beneath his clothing and started softly swiping along his armpits, making him cackle and whine. The soft touches were driving him up the wall, and he wasn't sure if he could take anymore.
"You being so sensitive to soft touches is so adorable~â Lyney cooed, pinning his arms above his head so he doesn't squish the feathers. âIf I just wiggle my fingers like thisâŠNOHOHOHO PLEHEASEHE! You laugh so cutely! And if I spider my fingers over your ribsâŠGAHAHA! You squirm like crazy~â
Lyney then placed a chaste kiss on his lips, making Wrio let out a surprised noise. Lyney pulled away just as quick as he came, giving him a cheeky grin before removing Wrio's coat and pulling the feathers away.
"Took your breath away, didn't I?â
âNot pant ihin the slihightest.â
âWell, good thing that was only part one then, huh?â
âWhat do you meheâhuhâhaHAHAHA!â
Lyney straddled his thighs, sticking out his tongue before diving back into his ribs with minimal pressure.
âNow that pesky coat of yours is gone, I have free rein on allllll of your spots. And for part two, you have to admit Barley tea is the best.â
âIHIHI WIHIHILL NEHEHEVER CONCEHEHEDE TO THAHAHT!â
Lyney rolled his eyes.
âYouâre all bark and no bite, but Iâll entertain your little fantasy because thatâs what a magician does~â
He started to trail his fingers towards Wrioâs belly button before being stopped by shaking arms.
âD-Dohohonât youhu daharehe,â Wrio threatened weakly, giving him a teary-eyed glare, but Lyney just giggled in response.
âI dare~ But first, this.â
In the blink of an eye, Wrioâs wrists were bound with his own handcuffs and raised above his head once again.
âYou sneakyâ AHAHAHA! LYNEHEHEY!â
Lyney didnât give him enough time to respond as he tickled his sides and used his thumbs to massage the ends of his ribs. His touches were gentle and deadly accurate, wringing laugh after laugh out of Wrio. He thrashed against him, trying to buck him off to no avail, shaking his head from side to side and adamant about not giving in.
âYou are one tough nut to crack. Very fitting for earning the title of Duke, but letâs head back to your navel~â
Lyney ceased his current tickling to then circle around Wrioâs belly button, slowly closing in. Wriothesley trembled beneath him, biting his lips to prevent any giggles from bursting forth. But even a great wolf such as himself can cave. Helplessness was starting to settle in, along with exhaustion. He strained against his restraints and twitched when Lyneyâs fingers strayed too close to dipping inside.
âAny last words?â
Wrio gave him a defiant glare.
âDo your worst.â
âI will~â
One of the feathers from earlier appeared again right into Lyneyâs hand, who smirked, and Wrio felt his heart drop.
âIs the mighty wolf gonna crumble to just a feather in his navel?~â
âPLEHEHEHASE!â
Tears of ticklish mirth were falling from his eyes, and that incessant cooing of his lover, You know how to make this stop~, was starting to become unbearable.
âL-Lynehey IHIHI G-giHiHIve!â
âThatâs not the surrender Iâm looking for~â
Lyney quickly pulled away, giving him a peck on the cheek and looking innocently at him.
âSee? That wasnât so hard, was it?â
âYouârehe pant thehe worhohorst.â
âHeh, who has the last laugh, Duke?â Lyney chuckled, removing the handcuffs before yelping when he felt his back hit the table and Wrio towering over him with a glint of mischief in his eyes.
âI think Iâll be having the last laugh, kitty~â
âIâm NOT a kitty. Iâ ACK! Wrio! We can talk over some Chai tea! What did you say!? Wait! I meanâ NOHOHOHO! BWAHAHAHA! IâM SOHOHORRY!!â
Safe to say that Wrio got his revenge and taught him a lesson of saying Chai and not Chai tea in front of a tea connoisseur such as himself~
