Pointing at you to talk about all of them for Aki and Daichi -bats my eyelashes at u cutely-
HEHE YES GLADLY thank you for the chance to babble about Aki and Daiki, i love my boys aewsdrtfgy <'3
1) who has the cutest tickle laugh?
... I'm gonna be biased and say Aki LMAO BUT HONESTLY both of them have really cute tickle laughs! Daiki's is very frantic--squeaky, hiccupy, lots of snorts and shrieks when he's getting got good. But Aki's laughter is so surprisingly bubbly and sweet and just not what you would expect from him
2) what are their tickle spots?
Gosh what aren't their tickle spots LOL They both have quite a few because I'm weak-willed and impulsive, but let's see
Daiki's notable tickle spots are his stomach, his knees, his feet, his underarms, with their worst spots being their ears, the backs of their thighs, and their hips.
As for Aki, you could honestly get a reaction just about anywhere you tickled him (with the exception of his hands), but some of his better spots are his sides and waist, his stomach, and his thighs, with his worst spots being his feet, his inner thighs, and his ribs.
3) who is ticklish in unusual places and where would that be?
Daiki's got pretty ticklish ankles, not one of their worst spots, but definitely an odd spot that gets him laughing. Aki's face is also sensitive to softer tickling--his jaw and cheeks especially--and any sort of light tickling there will get him shivering and sputtering in giggles.
4) who gets cheer-up tickles?
Aki is horrifically touch-starved for positive physical contact and tickling is part of Daiki's love language, so he gets cheer-up tickles A LOT. He's still working on accepting that he's allowed to enjoy being tickled, but Daiki has no qualms about wrecking him until that mean part of his brain turns to mush for a bit.
5) do either of them try to hide their ticklishness?
Aki tries to, but the keyword there is tries. Meanwhile Daiki is absolutely shameless about being ticklish, there's no reason for him to hide it.
6) who takes advantage of the other one getting their arms stuck while taking off their shirt?
DAIKI 100% LMAO. Oh they are such a menace with it too, especially since Aki getting his arms stuck would mean his ribs are easy access.
7) how did they discover each other’s ticklishness?
For Daiki, they found out Aki was ticklish by being a gremlin about it, as per usual. Being silly and playful with his friends is pretty common for him, especially tickle fights, so after a while of hanging out with Aki, Daiki probably tickled him for the first time without thinking much of it. Maybe Aki was being a little too sassy one day, so Daiki just reached over and tased his ribs as a playful attitude adjustment. When Aki shrieked and nearly toppled over in response, well, of course Daiki had to test it out further, because what do you mean their loveable jackass is this ticklish? That's adorable--
For Aki, he likely found out right after, since Daiki would not have escaped that without retaliation.
8) who can’t take tickle bites/raspberries?
I think they'd both be pretty weak to it tbh. I could imagine they would both tap out pretty fast from tickle bites to their worst spots, but if I had to pick, Aki would probably cave quicker, if only because he'd get way too flustered receiving raspberries or tickle bites.
9) who has to be tickle-forced out of bed in the morning?
I'd say probably Daiki? Neither one is really a heavy sleeper, but Aki does still get up earlier than Daiki, and Daiki tends to octopus onto him on the occasions when they sleep next to each other. When that happens, it's usually Aki having to tickle-force Daiki to let go of him so he can get up for the day.
10) who initiates tickle fights?
Oh it's Daiki starting the tickle fights 11 times out of 10 lmao.
Aki only initiates as revenge if he was tickled until he tapped out during the previous tickle fight, and then it's not a fight--that implies Daiki has a chance to fight back /lh
11) Who gives up in tickle fights?
Pretty even split, I'd say? Depends on how quickly they manage to get to the other's worst spots.
12) who is in danger of getting hurt when attacking the other?
Daiki, probably. Usually, Aki will try really hard not to flail and hurt him when getting tickled, but sometimes his reflexes are a bitch. Daiki has learned that if he wants to go after Aki's worst spots for too long, he has to either pin his arms or have him pinned on his stomach.
13) who always provokes the other into tickling them and how?
Usually it's Aki. He can't bring himself to ask for it, so sometimes he'll just egg Daiki on until he gets jumped. Honestly, Daiki is pretty good at reading Aki's moods after all this time--especially when he's in need of physical touch or some comfort--so they can usually tell when Aki is trying to rile them up. Daiki normally doesn't need an excuse to tickle his friends, but sometimes he'll make Aki work for it if Aki really wants to get wrecked.
