Chuuya stood in front of the door, hands spread in a T-position, while Dazai wiggled his fingers at him menacingly.
“Dazai, no!” Chuuya looked at Dazai with a look of horror in his face, yet nothing could stop Dazai, this stupid mackerel, from…
“Ahhh!” Chuuya gasped and jolted when Dazai sneaked a slight poke to Chuuya’s sides, while proceeding to glare at the culprit.
Why, oh why did he even get into this predicament?
Well, a few days ago, Dazai was joking about how beautiful Chuuya’s laugh is, and said something along the lines of tickling Chuuya every morning before he leaves.
Chuuya, who is just engaging in playful banter, only replied with a “yeah, sure”.
It was only playful banter.This stupid mackerel shouldn’t take it seriously.
Yet here Dazai is, fingers wiggling at the shorter guy before him menacingly.
He’s not going to leave until I fulfill his wishes, right? Chuuya sighed, then resigned himself to being tickled.
“Just do it quickly and get it over with.” Chuuya mumbled under his breath. He’s going to die of embarrassment before he could exit this door.
“Well then, raise your hands so I can do it properly.” Dazai said, and watched in amusement as Chuuya’s face turned the same colour as his hair.
“R…raise my hands? Absolutely not, shitty Dazai.”
Coerced into being tickled and then needing to raise his hands willingly for that?
Never in a million years. Chuuya is going to die.
Yet one look at Dazai’s puppy eyes and he couldn’t help but relent.
Damn him and the love for his insufferable boyfriend.
Dazai smirked as Chuuya slowly interlocked his fingers behind his head. Hehe. He knew Chuuya will come to terms with his little prank after all.
And Chuuya looking shy while knowing he is going to be tickled?
Adorable. He’s going to keep this moment in his memory forever.
“Alright.” Dazai placed his hands on Chuuya’s sides, and Chuuya’s breath hitched and body tensed.
What a cutie. Dazai couldn’t help but tease his boyfriend some more.
“What? I’m not doing anything, why so nervous?” Dazai asked, receiving a menacing glare from Chuuya.
“That’s because… that’s because you are going to…” Chuuya stuttered through his words.
What was he even supposed to say? I want you to get it over with and tickle me?
“I am going to what? Use your words, Chuu-yaaaa.” Dazai teased, his fingers digging into Chuuya’s sides slightly, a reminder that he is going to tickle Chuuya, just not yet.
“You’re going to tickle m—EEP!” Chuuya whined, but before he could finish his sentence, Dazai’s fingers brushed over the length of Chuuya’s sides, and Chuuya let out an embarrassing whine.
“D-Dazai, hehe n-noooo.” Chuuya laughed when Dazai started his merciless attack.
Clawing at his stomach, massaging his hip bones, all these made Chuuya laugh and squeal in the most flustering way possible.
Yet all was history when Dazai started the torturous dance in his armpits.
The moment Dazai’s bony fingers dug into Chuuya’s armpits, Chuuya let out the most diabolical screech and slammed his arms down to protect the spot, twisting left and right to fight Dazai’s poking and prodding fingers.
“D-Dazai! Nohohoho!!!” Chuuya spasmed when he felt Dazai’s fingers scratch at the sensitive spot near his upper ribs.
Chuuya is sure he’s going to die. Not only are the ticklish sensation torturous, Dazai’s verbal teasing is totally not helping.
“Chuuya, didn’t I tell you to put them up? Well, put them up again, and I’ll stop the tickling.”
W-what?!! Chuuya’s face burned a darker shade of red at Dazai’s words.
Dazai wanted him to do what now?
Yet, Chuuya needed Dazai to stop, so he tried to raise his hands.Yet he was just too ticklish.
When Dazai switched from tickling his neck to his sides, Chuuya couldn’t help bringing his arms down to swat at Dazai’s hands.
At this rate, the tickling is never going to stop!!!
Luckily, Dazai finally had mercy on Chuuya, lightly tickling his chin while Chuuya attempted to put his hands up.
It still tickled, and Chuuya is positive he is giggling like an idiot, but at least it’s bearable.
As soon as Chuuya put his hands up, Dazai, true to his promise, stopped the tickling and captured his boyfriend’s lips into a kiss.
Heh. His boyfriend is so adorable. His laugh, his blush, his little twitches, his “Dazai, noooo” are all too cute for his heart to handle.
At this rate, he is even tempted to keep tickling him, forever, and ever, and ever…
Yet, Chuuya still needs to work. Giving him a quick kiss, he bid Chuuya farewell. (not without another hug first, of course)
“Oh and Chuuya?” He called out to his partner in the doorway. “This is fun. Can we do that again tomorrow?”
An annoyed grumble can be heard from his cute boyfriend, followed by a semi-reluctant “fine” before the door is closed, and his boyfriend is gone.
Heh. So Chuuya didn’t mind the tickling so much he’s willing to do it again?
This might be a possibility, or it could be Dazai’s wishful thinking, but one thing for sure is that Dazai can’t wait for tomorrow morning.

Writer’s notes:
Another fic ohhh sooo sooo soooo unfortunately inspired by real life events (girlie got lucky again)
Love and Deepspace men when you find out they’re ticklish
( featuring a Ler!reader and five poor men)
⭐️Xavier ⭐️
You first figured out Xavier was ticklish when he was jealous.
And of all living things he could be jealous of, he is jealous of… a dog?
“Who’s a good boy? Who is a good boy?” You coo at your friend’s dog, rubbing its belly affectionately.
You took a sneak peak at Xavier, who has the biggest pout on his face.
Heh, Xavier couldn’t be jealous, could he?
The moment your friend’s dog climbed off your lap, you found a cute white-hair boy staring at your lap.
“You want belly rubs too, cutie?” You teased. Almost immediately,Xavier gave in and climbed into your lap.
Hehe. What a big baby.
While holding him, you mindlessly rubbed his stomach, yet the moment your palm touched his belly, he let out a quiet gasp.
“Oh?” You purred at the interesting discovery, brushing your hands over his stomach again.
This time you’re rewarded with a small laugh, and a whiny ‘hey!’.
Pouty Xavier is back, yet this time, you could see the corners of his mouth threatening to turn upwards.
And you fully intend to see that frown morph into a wide grin.
You gave Xavier a small wink, and without warning, you fingers dove to his sides and gently wiggled against where his sides meet stomach.
“D-don’t!” Xavier gritted his teeth, yet a few soft giggles slipped from his lips while squirming around futilely.
Even when he’s being tickled, he looks like a prince.
You moved your fingers higher to dance at his ribs, and he immediately curled in on himself, trying to block the ticklish sensations.
“No curling up, I need to see your beautiful face.”
With that, you drilled your fingers in his hips, and he immediately bucked up, letting out a boisterous shriek before dissolving into soft cackles.
“You’re hehehe t-tickling m-me!” Xavier whined through giggles.
“I sure am, you sensitive baby.” You smiled at the giggling boy, and was surprised to see a blush dust across his face.
“W-well, d-dont!” Xavier giggled, and your heart swell at the sight of the squirming man before you.
It almost made you want to have mercy on him, but your fingers have a mind of their own as they dance all over Xavier’s ribs and sides and watch in delight as Xavier squirms and whines in your touch.
Forget about the dog, it’s cute, but ticklish Xavier is way cuter.
He’s just too adorable you never want to stop.
“Sorry, Xavier, no can do.”
❄️ Zayne ❄️
You first found out Zayne was ticklish when you popped the dreaded question.
“So, Zayne, are you ticklish?”
Yes? No? What you didn’t expect was for Zayne to choke on his coffee at your question though.
“W-what?!! That’s such a childish question, I refuse to answer it.” Zayne replied, a faint blush appearing on its cheek.
“That’s not an answer.” You teased, and watched as Zayne looked at his very interesting cup.
“Yes it is.” He murmured.
Heh, cute.
You can’t help but tease him further. “Well, since you’re being so uncooperative, I guess you just forced my hand.”
With that, you gently tased his sides.
The reaction you got is instantaneous.
“Ahh!” He gasped, his arms immediately slamming down to protect his sides while he tensed up like a penguin.
Whipping around to look at you, he mustered up his best death glare, but it only seemed to egg you on.
“Zayne,Zayne,Zayne… when can you give me a real answer?”
You asked, and poked his side with each word you said, earning some delightful squeaks.
Heh, who would have thought the usually calm doctor would turn into a blushing mess with each poke?
You’re not complaining though, watching in amusement as Zayne bit on his lip hard, trying (yet failing adorably) to keep his titters in check.
“Cmon, I know you want to laugh, just let those giggles out,” you teased.
Your fingers travelled up to prod at his ribs, and then the dam broke.
Zayne let out boisterous, loud and uncontrollable laughter as he brought his hands up to cover his reddened cheeks. “Nohohoho,” he whined through giggles.
It was so cute you almost ascended. However, teasing is still absolutely necessary.
“No what? No, stop? No, please don’t stop? No, I’m not ticklish? Or no, I am not giving you a real answer?”
“Nohohohoho!” You only got a another screech and you grinned.
Oh well, guess you’re not stopping, not until Zayne learns how to answer a yes or no question!
🐟 Rafayel 🐟
You first learnt Rafayel is ticklish when you were treating his wounds.
“Ow, ow, ow, it hurts, it hurtssss.” He wailed while you were applying cream to his scraped knee.
“Hold still, it’s just a minor injury.” You told the melodramatic fish.
“It still hurts!” He whined, yet that pout morphed into a surprise gasp when you kissed the bandaged knee.
“There. I kissed it better.” You said, and watched Rafayel grin at the small gesture.
“Again.”
So you kissed his knee again and again, while Rafayel kept smiling at you brattily.
You didn’t think much of the smile at first, not until you heard a squeak escaping his lips when you got to the top of his knees.
Looking up, you saw Rafayel looking at you with wide eyes and a huge grin, his hands curled into a fist.
Ticklish, you thought to yourself. You hit the gold mine.
With that, your fingers travelled up to the top of his knees and gave it a firm squeeze.
Almost immediately, Rafayel descended into loud laughter, his hands pushing about, trying to grab at your wrists.
Cute.
Alas, even the cutest of fish can’t escape the incoming tickles.
You grabbed his foot into a footlock, and watched as he panics and flails his arm around, trying to get you to stop.
“Y-you’re being m-mean to me,” Rafayel squeaked when you brushed a finger over his arch, and he sucked in his breath, tugging at his feet.
“So you don’t want tickles?” You teased.
He pouted, thinking for a moment.
And then put his foot back in your grip.
Ha, knew it.
You thought to yourself as you smirk at the blushing boy, scratching at the pads of his toe.
Rafayel erupted in laughter and gasped about, occasionally letting out at “No” or “don’t”, and squirmed around like a fish.
Yet every time you stopped, he would pout even more.
Cutie.
Looking at Rafayel’s wide grin and hearing his loud chuckling, you know Rafayel will surely be enjoying a lot more tickle episodes in the future.
But hey, he only has himself to blame for being so tickle-able!
🐦⬛ Sylus 🐦⬛
You first learnt Sylus when you’re trying to help him get to sleep.
This man is a vampire—why doesn’t he sleep at night?!!
Yet no matter how hard you tried, nothing is getting him to sleep.
Calming music? No. Muscle relaxation practices? No. Even the good old newspaper reading practices is not working.
So while you two were cuddled together on the bed, you were still pondering ways to get him to sleep.
“K-kitten…” Sylus called out to you, and you look over, and realise you’re absentmindedly tracing circles on his back.
“Yes?”
“Quit it, it tickles.”
It does? An idea popped into your head and you smiled wickedly.
“Sweetie, I know that smirk, don’t—”
You rub circles on his back again, more deliberately and closer to his sides this time, just to watch his reaction.
And it didn’t disappoint.
He arched his back as boyish giggles escape from his lips, while twisting and turning about to avoid your devious fingers, to no avail.
At this moment, he looked like a cute, ticklish guy instead of a mafia boss.
You planted ticklish kisses all over the back of his neck, just to test the waters.
And almost instantly, he buried his head into the pillow, trying to muffle his squeaks and laughs, yet occasionally a snort can be heard.
“Who would have thought the most dangerous man in the N109 zone would succumb to tickling?” You teased.
Sylus gave no response and only let out a barely audible groan, so you moved the kisses to his waist.
“Stohohop it sweetie, y-you’re not—Ahh! H-helping me slehehep.” He yelped when you pinched one hip.
“Guilty, but you’re not fighting hard to resist the tickles. Care to explain, Mr Sylus?”
You teased, and you could have sworn you saw the tip of his ears turn red.
As much as you wanted to continue, your primary goal is to get him to sleep, not to tickle torture him.
With that, you let up the tickling and resorted to running his hands up and down his back.
“Hehe, we’re done for today, but I’ll continue to explore this knowledge tomorrow.” You teased, and Sylus furrowed his eyebrows at you, yet beneath the pouty face, you know he meant no bite.
“Good night, sweetie.” He said, before drifting off to sleep.
Maybe it’s the exhaustion, maybe it’s the tickles, or maybe it’s the warmth of the intimacy, it was the first time Sylus slept peacefully next to you.
Heh, who would have thought the tough Onychinus leader is an adorable (and ticklish!) softie at heart?
But hey, you’re not complaining!
🍎 Caleb 🍎
You have always known Caleb is ticklish. That has been well-established since you two’s childhood tickle fights.
What you didn’t expect was for him to challenge you to a tickle fight years after.
“Do you want your ass to be kicked ?” You asked him incredulously, and he only shrugged.
“I was letting you win back then, pipsqueak. I won’t relent now, this is a fair fight.” He smirked.
Alright, if he insists.
You two circle each other, your hands poised in front of you to prepare for attack.
He lunged first, hands reaching out for your sides, but too slow—You saw that coming and easily gripped his wrists.
Ha, look who has the upper hand now.
While Caleb was still in shock and trying to grab his arm back, you quickly shoot your hands out to claw at his ribs.
It was an honest to goodness shriek that left his mouth.
He gasped, then dissolved into soft yelps as you repeatedly tased his sides.
“T-hahat’s cheheheating!” He protested, trying to keep his composure.
“No, I won, fair and square. You have just gotten weaker. Need a reminder of who used to be the champion of tickle fights back when we were young?”
With that, you went straight for his worst spot, scratching at his armpits.
“Ahahahaha! N-no— P-pipsqueak! Pipsqueak!“
“Ironic, considering you’re the one squeaking like a mouse.You” You teased.
Caleb was red in the face as he shook his head,trying to push your fingers away from his tickle spots, all while chortling and writhing about.
It was kind of nostalgic to see Caleb laughing, it’s been a while since you two have had carefree moments like these.
“Do you yield?” You tease the blushing man squirming beneath you.
He shook his head. Heh, so stubborn.
You clawed at his armpits with renewed vigour, and smirked to yourself as the pleas of surrender immediately escaped his lips.
“I g-give! I g-give!” He laughed, and you stopped your antics, not before giving him another poke to the side to remind him of who is the winner.
“You’re evil.” He smiled at you, it was a sweet moment, until the competitive glint returned to his eyes.
“But I’ll get you back in the next tickle fight.”
“Pfft, good luck, you’ll need it.”
“Pipsqueak!”
Looks like you two will be having lots of tickle fights to catch up on~
🌼Writer’s notes: I have been procrastinating on this fic for so many months lol forgive me i dont know how to ler.
Arms crossed, cheeks puffed out, lips turned into a pout and turned away from Maomao.
Jinshi looked nothing like the charming man Maomao knew from the first day, instead he looked just like a melodramatic child.
“You…” Maomao started, but Jinshi only turned to face her and pouted.
“Lemme be the one to ask questions. Do you know why I’m frowning?” Jinshi asked.
Because he woke up on the wrong side of bed? Or is it about the hairpin?
Maomao had no idea, so she shrugged.
“You ate poison last night. A lethal amount.”Jinshi replied, still pouting.
“I can take it, I eat poison on a daily—”
“No.” Jinshi cut her off. “You consume poison until your face is pale, you are a shivering mess, and yet your stubborn hand refuses to reach for the antidote, not until I force you to.”
Maomao didn't think that it’d be a big deal, but apparently it was not for Jinshi.
She met Jinshi’s gaze, and when she looked carefully, he had his eyebrows furrowed like a worried lover.
He couldn’t be worried for her, could he…?
“I know you like to taste poison, and that you’d be fine, but for some reason I’m constantly worried for you. And you scared me to death last night.” Jinshi pouted even more.
Is Jinshi caring about her? That’s surprising,but also kind of nice. Maomao thought. A small smile tugged at the corners of her lips.
“Hence, as punishment for making me worried constantly, I am going to punish you.”
And then Jinshi wiggled his fingers menacingly at Maomao.
“One minute. I’m being lenient today.” Jinshi sighed, as if he was oh so reluctant to dish out the punishment.
Maomao’s smile dropped.
“Absolutely not.” Maomao warned, turning to get out of the predicament she’s put in.
Yet the moment she turned, a finger traveled up her spine, causing Maomao to freeze and tense up like a penguin.
“Oh, I forgot that this is a deadly ticklish spot for you. Are there any other spots?”
Curse her unbelievable ticklishness. She could hear the grin plastered across Jinshi’s face.
Turning around to face her tickler, she mustered up her best ‘don’t you dare’ glare at Jinshi.
Yet that didn’t detest Jinshi at all. Without any warning, a devious hand squeezed Maomao’s side.
Maomao immediately cursed herself for the few giggles that slipped out of her lips.
“D-don’t!” Maomao warned, yet surprisingly made no attempt to get away, so Jinshi casually poked her ribs just to mess with her again.
“C’mon, just take your punishment. It’s only one minute? Unless you’re too ticklish?” Jinshi teased, a huge smile placed on his lips.
“T-this isn’t even a p-punishment! You’re hehe just l-looking for an opportunity to—hey! t-tickle mehehe!” Maomao said through gritted teeth.
“Guilty as charged.”
With that, Jinshi poking and prodding became history when his fingers drilled at Maomao’s lower ribs gently but firmly.
Maomao let out a choked gasp before twisting and turning about, trying to wiggle away from the unbearable sensations.
Cute, Jinshi remarked.
Yet it was when Jinshi’s hand moved downward to claw at Maomao’s stomach did Maomao’s tittering turn into steady giggling.
“C-cut it— Ahh! O-out!” Maomao squeaked when Jinshi got too close to her belly button.
Maomao can’t even think, her body shocked with sensations that are weird yet surprisingly pleasant, desperately flailing her hands around trying to push away Jinshi’s intruding hands.
“N-no can do.” Jinshi smirked, that damn smile burning into Maomao’s mind when a finger wiggled in her belly button, causing Maomao to shriek loudly.
Maomao couldn’t even hope to stand up amidst the ticklish sensation travelling through her body. Her knees buckled at the sensation and Maomao’s body slipped to the ground.
Totally unnecessary and absolutely rude.
This punishment is unjust and self-indulgent for Jinshi. Next time, she’s not going to dry Jinshi’s hair as revenge,Maomao thought.
Yet, all anguish had dissipated and gave way to fear as Jinshi picked up Maomao’s foot.
“W-wait! G-gimme back my f-foot! W-wait!!!” Maomao cried helplessly, slapping at Jinshi’s shoulder to make him stop.
Cute, but it won’t work, Jinshi thought to himself.
“Definitely your worst spot.” Jinshi said aloud, taking off one shoe.
The cold air hits Maomao’s feet as Maomao gritted her teeth, shutting her eyes tightly.
It’s fine.
She can take it.
She can take poison, she has survived Jinshi’s annoying charm, she has seen the light and ugly of Verdigris drama.
It’s just a bit tickling, after all?
Yet, the moment Jinshi’s finger traced the arch of her foot, it tickled so bad she thought she might die.
Maomao couldn’t even hope to hold the giggles, loud, boisterous laughter immediately sounded from her lips. She curled her fists, uncurl then to slap at the floor, then curled her fists again.
”Yes?” Jinshi teased, moving the fingers up to scratch at the digits between her toes.
Maomao’s laughter immediately turned silent, clenching her toes tightly, yet no matter how hard she tried to block the ticklish sensation, it felt way too ticklish.
Maomao had rarely laughed this hard before. It felt weird, but it also felt…quite good?
Jinshi, on the other hand, is enjoying himself way too much.
Maomao’s reaction was priceless. Every squeal, every giggle, every twist and turn is so precious.
And Maomao looked so much like a cat too! Even if she is squirming, she somehow seems to lean into the touch rather than moving away.
Hehe, how cute.
Jinshi felt his cheeks heat up a bit at the sight of Maomao.
Yet as much as Jinshi wanted to tease and torment Maomao more, he knows Maomao is reaching her limit.
Resorting to brushing over the top of her toes, he let Maomao have some reprieve.
A mischievous idea popped into Jinshi’s mind as he put down Maomao’s foot…
… and picked up the other.
“That’s just one foot, lemme tickle the other—”
“NO!”
Pfft. Jinshi laughed at Maomao, who turned into a wide-eyed panicking mess and almost immediately retracted her foot.
“I’m just kidding. I’ve had enough for the day.” Jinshi smiled, and let Maomao just lay on the floor, resting.
“Regardless… tickle attack aside, you did scare me a bit last night. Don’t pull that off again, I’d hate it if I lost my dear apothecary.”
With that, Jinshi patted Maomao’s shoulder gently and left.
For some reason, Maomao felt a flutter on her stomach at Jinshi’s words.
That was probably just the aftermath of a tickle attack, right?
… right?

Writer’s notes:
I binged watched two seasons in one night they’re so dydhbdsjdjendjdkdjdjd
Caelus was just intrigued by the golden opportunity that was presented before him.
Dan Heng was reaching his arms out to reach a high-shelved book, and Caelus just happened to be behind him .
So without a second thought, Caelus drilled two fingers into Dan Heng’s ribs to annoy the dragon.
What he didn’t expect was for Dan Heng to jump five feet into the air and let out a small laugh, before turning around almost immediately to push Caelus’ hands away.
“Ack! Caelus!W-what was that for?”
Dan Heng’s lips formed a scowl as he glared at Caelus, but Caelus’ attention was no longer on the archivist.
“You laughed!” Caelus grinned like a child getting candy. Heck, this is even better than candy.
“It’s nothing special.Don’t make a big deal out of it.” Dan Heng resumed his resting bitch face, that slightest crack in his stoic persona gone as soon as it appeared.
“But it IS special! It’s the first time I have ever heard it laugh!”
Caelus tried to think back to a time when Dan Heng let out a laugh. He remembered none.
Dan Heng only rolled his eyes when Caelus told a joke, kept his stoic face when March took silly photos. He didn’t even let out a puff of laughter when Boothill was doing his so-called “swearing”.
Dan Heng’s stoic persona seemed impenetrable, yet it only took two fingers to make his walls crumble?
Pfft, Dan Heng is too cute.
Caelus had struck gold.
“Cmon, let me hear that laugh again!” Caelus said, wiggling his fingers at a flustered Dan Heng.
Dan Heng only took a step back, but with his back pressing against the bookshelf, there’s not much place to run.
“Caelus—no.” Dan Heng warned as Caelus brought the wiggling fingers closer and closer to his sides.
“Caelus, don’t you dare.” Dan Heng warned again as Caelus’ fingers hoovered millimeters above his sides, his eyes darting between Caelus’ evil grin and his fingers.
“Pfft, Dan Heng, careful now, I might think you want the tickles. Look, you’re not even fighting those fingers that are about to tickle you senseless!”
Then, maybe realising that he could retaliate, Dan Heng pushed weakly at Caelus’ hands.
Only for Caelus to dodge Dan Heng’s moves and latch his hands onto Dan Heng’s sides, squeezing the soft flesh gently.
“Too late!” Caelus sang, giggling to himself when Dan Heng let out a squeak the moment his hand made contact with the dragon’s sides.
“Too ticklish?” Caelus teased when Dan Heng pressed his hands against his sides to block out the tickling, yet his attempts were futile.
Dan Heng looked absolutely adorable.
His wobbly lips pressed together, trying to act if the tickles didn’t affect him, yet the upturned corner on his lips betrayed him.
Plus he was shaking his head rapidly to dislodge the ticklish feeling.
Did it work? No, but it’s a cute attempt.
“Cmon,Dan Heng, let your laugh out!” Caelus said as he sent rapid pokes onto Dan Heng’s underarms, and Dan Heng snorted with watch poke, making Caelus coo at his reaction.
While Caelus was having the time of his life tickling the shit out of Dan Heng, Dan Heng was experiencing the torture of his life.
Every nerve on his body felt like it was on fire, and his ticklish ass can do nothing to stop it.
His flailing arms did nothing to stop the ticklish sensations, and his lips were pressed so tight it hurts, but if Caelus ever heard his laugh, he will never hear the end of the story.
The situation is embarrassing enough for Dan Heng already, and to use tickling to make him laugh?
Absolutely childish. Only children will do that.
Unfortunately, said childish method is working.
“Hmm… What if I oh so casually brush my fingers under your ears? Do Vidyahara dragons have ticklish ears?”
Dan Heng’s eyes widen at those words.
No.
Dan Heng reached his hands out to grab Caelus’ wrists, yet it was too late.
Two fingers gently brush over Dan Heng’s ears, and as a jolt of ticklish sensation rushed through Dan Heng’s body, the first giggle escaped from his traitorous lips.
“You laughed! You laughed! And it’s beautiful!” Caelus commentary only made Dan Heng’s ‘suffering’ worse.
“Hehehe Y-you’re enhahajoying thhehehis w-wayhaha too much!” Dan Heng whined, and Caelus couldn’t deny that fact.
Dan Heng’s laugh was absolutely adorable.
It was high pitch and boyish, and so different from his usual monotonic voice.
And if you throw in a sneak tickle underneath his armpits? He might even let out the cutest squeaks.
It was rare to see Dan Heng making all sorts of squeaky noises and laughing, but Caelus would be lying if he said he doesn’t want the moment to end.
Except it did end when Dan Heng finally overpowered Caelus and grabbed Caelus’ wrists,
Within a few seconds, Dan Heng managed to flip himself on top of Caelus and pin the trailblazer to the bookshelf.
Damn, Dan Heng is strong. He looked at the blushing male before him.
“You… are… so… dead.” Dan Heng panted, glaring at Caelus.
If Caelus is going to be an insufferable tickle monster, then he might as well beat childishness with childishness.
So without wasting another second, he scribbled his fingers over Caelus’ stomach harshly.
Damn, he is cute, Dan Heng thought to himself, smiling a bit.
He could understand why Caelus almost got carried away with the tickling just now.
Caelus’ booming laughter was addictive and the way he squirms is cute.
Dan Heng even dared experiment a poke underneath Caelus’ armpits, and Caelus’ body thrashed and he let out a loud scream.
“Y-YOU WIN! M-mercy!”
Dan Heng knew he needs to end the tickle attack soon to avoid killing the awfully sensitive trailblazer, but he couldn’t help but tease a little more.
“No revenge tickles?”
“P-POSITIVE AHAHAHA!”
“Pinky promise?”
“P-PINKY PROMISE! I d-didn’t even hahahaha cross my f-fingers behind my b-ahahah-back, I swear!” Caelus begged.
Dan Heng let out a snort at that answer before releasing Caelus, and Caelus knees gave in and he sank to the floor while catching his breath.
And all this time, Dan Heng was eyeing the poor trailblazer while smiling.
Smiling.
“Dan Heng.” Caelus called out to the dragon before him.
“You enjoyed the tickling, didn’t you?!! And you laughed,like a real laugh!!! We should do that more often, I need to hear you laugh!!!And you would let me do that, wouldn’t you? Say yes, will you?” Caelus rambled on like a child, while looking at Dan Heng with glistening eyes.
Millions of thoughts raced through Dan Heng’s head.
Yes, I was laughing.
Yes, I enjoyed the tickling, and tickling you in return.
Yes, I like it when I’m laughing with you.
And yes, I wouldn’t mind if you do it again.
Opened his mouth. “Caelus…please, act normal.”
✿✿✿✿
Writer’s notes:
I swear I love the pair, Dan Heng is a cute ass and Caelus is a little shit yet I love both of them so much.
If Nirei is going to say one more word, Sakura is going to explode.
“For the last time, Nirei-kun, I don’t have a melt spot!” Sakura groaned, his ears turning pink.
Melt spot. Sakura didn’t even know how they got to this conversation.
A few minutes ago, Nirei-kun was yapping about how he got intel on everyone’s weaknesses.
Then it was about tickling, then it was about Sakura’s melt spot—his favourite spot to be tickled.
Talk about relevance.
Sakura tried to compose himself while maintaining this absolutely unnecessary conversation.
Yet the moment Suo joined in the conversation, all composure Sakura had was thrown out the window.
The glint in Suo’s eyes spelled mischief, something that made Sakura’s stomach flip.
”Hmm, why is our Sakura-kun blushing?” Suo asked teasingly
“NOTHING! Absolutely nothing.” Sakura cut in, his hands curled into a little fist.
Cutie.
“Oh! Sakura-kun just has a melt spot when it comes to tickling—MMPHHH—”
Sakura held out a hand to cover Nirei’s mouth, but too late, the mischief in Suo’s smile is evident.
“You have a favourite spot to be tickled?”
Suo’s smile was as bright as the sun, and normally Sakura would have enjoyed the sight of it, but not in this context.
Especially not when Suo’s fingers are already poised in front of him, curled into claw shapes and taking a step closer towards Sakura-kun.
“Suo-san. Nirei-kun is lying! I don’t have a melt spot.”
Another step.
“Suo-san. Don’t you dare.” Sakura glared, crossing his arms.
Hehe, Sakura looked just like an angry yet wary kitten, but the blush on his face and the excited glint in his eyes gave him away.
Heh. Sakura totally has a favourite tickle spot.
Suo took one more step—
Sakura was already hot on his heels, running away from the two.
“Oh no you don’t!” Suo laughed,and Sakura was vaguely aware of a certain eye-patched guy running after him.
Shoot.
Sakura is definitely not thinking straight while running like a headless chicken.
First of all, having a melt spot is humiliating.
What do you mean people can tickle you on that spot, and you like it?
Second of all, it’s Suo-san, the renowned tickle monster who figured out this information.
He will never let this information up, and tease him about it until he dies.
At this point, Sakura would rather just die than have Suo know his melt spot.
“Sakura-kun, watch out!” A voice called from behind.
Too late, Sakura had lost his balance and fell onto the floor.
The good news? He fell on the grass. Soft landing, so it doesn’t hurt that much
The bad news? Suo was already on him, flipping him over to his back and straddling him.
Sakura’s heart skipped a beat. This is bad. This is so very bad.
“Suo-san! Wait!!!”
“No waiting!” Sakura said in a sing-song voice, poking his stomach teasingly, and Sakura choked out a laugh with each touch.
“In fact, I should be the one asking you.” Suo smiled, pausing the ticking for dramatic effect.
“Where is the melt spot?” Suo asked, scribbling over his stomach suddenly and rapidly, and Sakura couldn’t help but let out a loud gasp before dissolving into belly laughter.
“N-not hehe telling-g you!” Sakura said defiantly, and Suo only raised his eyebrows in response.
“Not telling me?” He smirked. “Then I’ll just have to find out for myself.”
With that, Suo went to town with the ticking.
Pinching at Sakura’s hips (earning some really cute twisting and squirming), clawing at his ribs ( earning a few high pitched squeals) and poking in his belly button (earning Sakura’s signature blush), Suo savoured every reaction of a ticklish Sakura-kun.
“Not here, not here, not here, where could that spot be?” Suo teased, running his hand all over Sakura’s sensitive spots, playing him like a piano.
At one point, Suo reached his hand behind to pinch at Sakura’s kneecap, which had Sakura jumping and gasping with each touch.
“You’re so cute, Sakura-kun. Every time I curl my fingers over your kneecap, you turn into a wide-eye blushing mess. Lemme show you.”
The very next second, Sakura felt an unbearably ticklish sensation in his kneecap, and he gasped like he was electrocuted and looked at Suo in horror.
“Pftttt… there is that reaction again! I could do this forever.” Suo laughed, and Sakura felt his cheeks turn redder.
Suo is merciless! And a tease too!
Yet Sakura couldn’t find it in him to call him off. He didn’t know if it’s because he likes Suo’s attention, or because he secretly doesn’t mind being tickled.
Either way, he’s not going to admit anything, so he only mustered up his best intimidating look, and pouted at Suo.
“Get off of me! Jerk!” Sakura insulted.
For some reason, that only provoked Suo more. “Careful, Sakura-kun, you’re practically asking me to go for your armpits.”
No.
Sakura’s eyes immediately widened with fear.
“Suo-san! No! Don’t you dare! Don’t you-Ahahahaha!”
Oops. Suo’s fingers oh-so-accidentally found Sakura’s armpits in the middle of his apology, scratching and clawing about.
“Ahahaha, Suo-haha, d-don’t! N-not there!”
He relished in Sakura’s laughter, something that although has been more of a common occurrence due to their small tickle fights, remains forever precious to Suo.
Only when Sakura’s laughter turned silent did he remember that he needed to give Sakura a break.
Reluctantly, Suo moved the fingers from under Sakura’s armpits to the side of his neck, gently wiggling about.
“Hehehehe...” Sakura giggled lightly.
Yet amidst Sakura’s tittering, Suo realised something.
All this time Suo was tickling Sakura’s neck,Sakura was leaning into the touch.
He.
Was.
Leaning.
Into.
The.
Touch.
Suo felt as if his heart will explode.
“Your neck is the melt spot, isn’t it?” Suo asked excitedly.
Sakura had no ground to refuse—Suo had already found out his weakness, so he just grunted and turned his head shyly, the colour on his cheek turning red again.
That was the only confirmation Suo needed.
What a cutie.
“So I can continue tickling you?” Suo teased, wiggling the fingers under Sakura’s neck a little harder, causing Sakura to yelp and scrunch up his shoulders.
Sakura frantically shook his head, and Suo laughed and ceased his ministrations.
Yet the moment he retreated his hand, Sakura grabbed his wrists and placed his hand on his neck again, eliciting a laugh from Suo.
“Pfft—Such as tsundere.” He teased, gently tickling Sakura’s neck again, and Sakura only grumbled in response.
Suo’s finding out his melt spot may be killing Sakura’s tough guy persona, but with how Suo is playfully and gently tickling him, he couldn’t say that he isnt craving more and more of those tickle episodes in his future.

Ship: romantic
ꕤꕤꕤ
You’re sitting next to the Onychinus leader, the most feared man in the N109 zone, yet the only thing you could focus on is the TV screen in front of you.
A red balloon pops up from the scene on the TV, and you bury your head in Sylus’ expensive sweater, his familiar cologne calms you down a bit, but not quite when a literal horror movie is played on the TV.
Why did you even choose to watch IT with your boyfriend on a Saturday movie night?
Well, for one, you thought you could stomach it, but as it turns out, it’s… a little scarier than you thought.
Slowly, you turn your gaze back to the TV, yet when Pennywise appeared again, you couldn’t help but let out an uneasy whimper.
Sylus, just shoots you an amused look, yet he gently rubs your back.
He has been trying to calm you down since the beginning of the movie. You appreciate the effort, but it’s not working, not when Pennywise is involved.
“I thought you have faced scarier things than a clown as a hunter.” Sylus mused.
“Well, yes. But… that clown mask on Pennywise is horrifying! He follows children and then preys on their fear! How twisted is that?”
Sylus only tilts his head in response.
“I thought Luke and Kieran wear masks, and Mephisto is a trained stalker too!”
“Well… that’s different! Luke and Kierran aren’t scary, even in their masks. And Mephisto…he isn’t all that bad as Pennywise, though there’s much similarity in terms of its looks.”
Mephisto caws angrily in response, and combined with another jumpscare that appeared on the screen, you jolted a few inches from the couch in shock, causing Sylus to let out a loud laugh.
Pulling you into a hug, Sylus gave you a kiss on the forehead.
“Cmon now, sweetie, you don’t have to be scared of this fictional clown on a small TV screen…I mean, you are currently dating the most wanted man in all of Linkon city and N109 zone.
I would be saying my last words if I were you.” Sylus teased.
You giggled, enjoying the banter a bit too much it almost made you forget about the movie.
Almost.
”That’s different,Sylus. You may look tough and scary, but to me, you are always a smitten small kitten.”
At your response, Sylus widened his eyes, his mouth gaped open.
“Smitten… small… kitten?” The three words fell out of his mouth in shock.
Oops. Wrong answer.
Sylus’ shock was short-lived, as his lips quickly curled into his signature composed smirk, only this time, you could feel malice behind that smile.
“Seems like I have been too soft to you, sweetie. I should remind you how evil I really am.”
With that, your world spun, and the only thing that registered in the brain was Sylus smirking down at you while pinning you to the sofa, both wrists held above your head by Sylus’ hand, the other hand resting at your sides.
“Sweetie, have you, perchance, been visited by a tickle monster?” Sylus asked.
No. Your eyes widened as you realised what Sylus is about to do.
Yet Sylus doesn’t wait for your response, dragging a fingertip along your sides as you stifle a gasp.
Giddy anticipation started to bubble in your chest as laughter as you kicked and squirmed around in Sylus’ grip, trying to break free.
“Nohoho, Sylus, w-we don’t have t-to do this.”
“Do what?”
“Tickle me!”
Oops. It wasn't until those two cursed words slipped out of your mouth did you realize what you just said.
You looked over to Sylus, who was looming over you with the biggest grin on his face.
“With pleasure.” He smirked, and his hands went to work immediately, skittering over your sides slowly but torturously, enough to make you smile helplessly but not huff out laughter.
What a tease.
“S-Sylus!” You whined though titters, and Sylus only raised an eyebrow.
“That’s my name, yes?” He asked, leaning over to press a ticklish kiss on your stomach, causing you to choke on a giggle.
“You’re teasing.”
“Oh, so you don’t want me to tease? Well, it’d be cruel of me not to comply with your orders right?”
“Wait—”
Too late.
Sylus released his grip on your hands, both hands shooting down to knead and claw at your armpits, causing you to let out an embarrassing shriek and arch your back,hands slamming down to protect the sensitive spot.
Torturous electric zaps shocked your body, and you could only focus on how bad it tickles, and futilely kick your legs out in protest.
“N-Not my armpits!” You managed to squeak out, and Sylus huffed a laugh.
“Well, I would have loved to, but my hands are trapped. Maybe you could lift your arms up?”
Sylus. That bastard.
You felt your cheeks blush a crimson red. How are you supposed to lift your hands up when it tickled so bad?!!
“Cmon, sweetie, I know you can do it.” Sylus said, prodding and poking gently at your armpits so it tickles less bad, but still ticklish.
Slowly but surely, it raised your arms, all while giggling softly. Sylus’ gaze softens, planting a kiss on your forehead.
“Good girl.” He said.
And then he plunged his fingers into the armpits again, scribbling widely.
You immediately shot your arms down to your side, letting out boisterous laughter, a snort burning at your nostrils when he hit a particularly sensitive spot, thrashing around like a madman.
“W-wait! W-wait! Sylus! You tricked me!”
Sylus only gave you a look of mock pity.
“Oops. I did tell you I’m evil, did I?”
Bastard. Evil. Cruel. Malicious. One hell of a boyfriend.
You want to throw all those curses at him, but physically you can’t, not when you’re laughing so hard.
And somewhere deep inside your heart, you can’t bring yourself to do so, not when he’s looking at you with eyes full of adoration. (and maybe a hint of amusement)
Yet, as adorably sickening and sweet the situation was, you were approaching your limit, and he could sense it too.
With both hands still attacking your armpits, he brought his lips to your stomach, where your shirt has risen up from the squirming.
He started planting ticklish kisses all over your sides and belly button, occasionally nuzzling his head on your tummy, making you shake with silent laughter.
“S-Sylus… enough.” As soon as those words left your mouth, he immediately stopped his antics, cuddling you while running his fingers through your hair to help you calm down.
“You know, you look cute when you’re scared, but even cuter when you’re squirming beneath me. Can’t believe how ticklish you are.” Sylus mused.
“Scared? Of what?” You asked.
Oh. Right. The horror movie. Sylus grinned triumphantly at the success of making you forget about Pennywise.
You looked over to the TV, and credits were already rolling on the screen. Guess you have missed the whole movie.
“Well… we can replay that?” Sylus suggested, yet you shook your head.
“No thanks. I have had enough of a visit from Pennywise.” You said, climbing into Sylus’ lap.
“Mmm, what about the tickle monster?” Sylus teased, poking a finger into your sides, causing you to let out an embarrassing squeak.
“Sylus!” You scolded playfully.
Sylus only let out a snicker in response.
“I hate you.”
“Well, I love you too.” was Sylus’ only response, and he laughed louder when a hand playfully slapped at his arm.
Who would have thought watching horror movies could take such an interesting turn of events? You never would have guessed, but it was certainly time well spent!

Ler Sylus supremacy btw I can’t believe how many times it is hinted that Sylus is a Ler in LADS?!!
Oh and here have a cookie dear anon 🍪 thanks for the request, anyways hope you all enjoyed this fic!!!
A/N: It had been a while, but we're finally back in the game. I'm happy to announce that @lovelynim and I finished our 27th collab today. This time we decided for the trio you can see above. Sakura was just the perfect person to be a lee so we couldn't help ourselves. We you will enjoy this story just as much as we do~
Summary: Sakura learns a new side of himself and his friends decide to mess with him a bit.
Words: 3,856 words under the cut
Sakura hissed slightly as he rubbed his left side. The little clash he had with these damn punks while patrolling the streets had him left with more scratches than expected. He bit his lip as he thought back of their cowardness, attacking a girl that was just passing by, which caused the condition he was in right now.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been hurt by those lowlifes. "Sakura... does it still hurt?" He didn't even have to look up to know who this voice belonged to. Nirei was eying him with a worried expression, holding a little first-aid kit in his hands. Suo was standing behind him, eying him with concern as well. The dual-haired blushed a bit and looked away.
"…‘m fine, it doesn’t hurt at all," he mumbled, feeling a sudden sting again that made him groan. Both Nirei and Suo sighed at the sight, knowing this wasn’t something that could be helped normally. Without saying a word, the two guys approached their class’ leader, with Nirei quickly taking the spot before the chair Sakura was sitting on.
“I told you it doesn’t hurt,” Sakura insisted, but ended up not resisting when Nirei held him by one of his ankles, rolling up the hem of his pants up to his knee and exposing the bruised skin. Sakura clicked his lips, looking away. Suo chuckled, standing next to Sakura and tilting his head a bit as he looked down to the bruised leg.
“There is nothing to be ashamed of~ Didn’t you take those three all by yourself? And you came out of it with just a couple bruises. That’s our captain for you.” "S-S-Shut up..." Sakura mumbled, feeling his face heating up due to the compliment, "of course I did... that's my duty after all."
He had mumbled the second part almost inaudible, but the words didn't go unnoticed by them and Sakura avoided his eyes when he caught Suo smiling at him. "...Anyway, let's go back to-" he wanted to get up but remained seated when Nirei glared up at him.
"We can't do this Sakura, we still need to take care of that..." the blonde insisted and brushed his fingertips carefully over his knee, caressing the wounded skin. "Let me at least disinfect it. The action made the other twitch and a cough-like sound left his lips, that caught his friends' attention. "Sakura...?"
“It’s nothing,” he spoke in a rush, his hands clenching at the edge of his seat while he pressed his back against the chair’s rest, “just- just get over with it.” Nirei nodded, opening the first-aid kit and picking the needed tools and medicine for it.
Sakura would probably have managed to end that conversation at that exact moment, with Nirei soon starting to tend to his wounds with no other pesky question or inconvenient doubts, if it wasn’t for the guy standing next to him.
That sudden flinch and the way Sakura’s lips pressed into a thin line didn’t go unnoticed by such an attentive eye and, just like Nirei, Suo just wished to see their captain well again. “Careful, Nirei,” Suo added, his tone gentle, “Sakura’s knee seems a bit sensitive.”
“I-I told you it doesn’t hurt,” Sakura insisted with a small pout on his lips, looking over his shoulder to give Suo a wary glance. Something about that made shivers go down his spine, but just when he was about to add another comment to that matter, Nirei’s fingers pressed a little too close to the back of his knee, making Sakura jump in his place.
Suo chuckled, placing one hand on Sakura’s shoulder to make him sit back still. “Well, hurting or not, you can’t be moving while Nirei is patching you up.” Sakura stared up at his grinning friend, feeling the pressure of his hand on his shoulder. It wasn't uncomfortable, but strong enough to make it harder for him to get up.
He let out a sigh before he looked back at the blonde, nodding. “I’ll be careful, please relax Sakura…” Nirei had waited for his approval to continue, though he could already guess why he had twitched just now... A lot of the guys in class were ticklish and he even had an extra section in his character profiles for it. Still... Sakura is ticklish?!
The thought alone made Nirei want to explore his new-found information, but he had to hold back... well, just a bit wouldn't hurt, right? He traced a single finger over the back of his calf, before poking it into his knee pit again. The reaction was even stronger this time and Sakura let out a surprised gasp. "WhAHt tehE?! What did you just do?" he asked.
The sensation felt strange and it made his inside tingle. What was wrong with him? Nirei open and closed his mouth a few times, not sure what to say. Doesn’t he know? He wondered. Before he could excuse his doings, Suo gently pushed Sakura back into his chair.
“Sakura, it’s just some medicine. We won’t need to tie you up for that, right?” he teased, making their class leader pout and blush a little. Still, it felt weird, enough to make it impossible for Sakura to just relax.
Stiffening his muscles and filling his body with tension, Sakura watched Nirei’s fingers holding his leg by the calf while his other hand slowly and carefully worked on his bruises. He should be nervous because of the pain, not because… of that weird, funny feeling.
“Sakura,” Suo called, playfully, “if it’s not hurting, why are you so nervous? You look like a scared kitten right now,” he teased, lightly poking at the spot between Sakura’s neck and collarbone, making the guy squeal and jump on his seat again. “Oh, wait, are you ticklish? I had no idea.”
"I'm- nghGh I'm noHot a- Pffft... stoHOp thaHahat!" Sakura stuttered, as he scrunched his shoulders up and bent his head a bit to the side to block his invading finger. Again, he could feel this strange feeling that forced him to giggle. How could a touch feel so gentle? How was a touch aimed not to hurt, but to feel... nice?
He didn't know. It just didn’t make any sense to him and maybe that said more about him than the others. It wouldn’t be the first time that he was an outcast in any context. Sakura shook these thoughts away when he heard Suo's sweet poison-laced voice next to his ear. "...What wrong Sakura, too ticklish to answer?"
"WhahAht... WhAht's thAht eHeven meHean?" he asked, not familiar with the word. Ticklish? What was that supposed to be? An illness? Nirei's ears perked up at his friend's comment and he felt his chest sting a bit. So he was right. His hand gave his knee a gentle squeeze, earning his attention. "...You... You really don't know what tickling is?"
While there was no formal answer to that question, something about Sakura’s confused face must have given it away to Nirei. As expected as something like this would be, it still surprised him to some major degree.
Just as Sakura was about to ask, Suo slid his hands down Sakura’s back and wormed his fingers under both his arms, prodding at the sensitive spot under both sides. “This is tickling, Sakura~” he giggled, amused. “H-HEHey!” Sakura squealed, his free leg kicking up while he pressed his elbows against his side.
“Now, we could give you a proper demonstration, but you’re in so much pain that it’s better to get you treated fir-” Sakura growled, with a wobbly smile on his lips. He looked over his shoulder, even more tense than before. “I-I’m not hurting, dahamn ihit,” he snarled, almost challenging.
“Hmmm, is that so?” Suo chuckled, looking down to Sakura’s crooked expression and then at Nirei’s expectant eyes, as if the latter was just waiting for his words. Their eyes met, and as if they had a sudden, unspoken, mutual agreement, Nirei's eyes began to shine. Yosh!
His hands moved quickly and while one hand was carefully embracing Sakura's leg, his free hand wiggled around his bare knee, beginning to tickle him seriously. Suo followed his friend’s example right away, smir- ahem grinning from ear to ear as he began to squeeze up and down Sakura's sides, wiggling his hands into the sensitive area. This is gonna be fun!
"Since you're not, let us show you what it truly means~" "PffFtt- ehEhhEheheh! WhAhat's h-hahppeHEneniIHhing?!" The dual-haired was at loss of words. He didn't even have time to react before his friends were touching him again. Their fingers pressed and wiggled over his body and he couldn't do anything against it.
His lips trembled and the first bits of laughter came out of them. Was that his laughter? It had been a long time since he heard it... and strange as it was, he didn't hate it. Still… this tickling made it hard to focus on anything else. "AhHahhaahah g-gehEht your h-h-hHAhands off!" He felt his face heating up, a deep blush already spreading over his face.
"You're so ticklish Sakura and your laugh is really adorable~" Nirei commented, sucking up his friend's expression and made mental notes to add all he was witnessing right now in his notebook for future references. Unlike Nirei, Suo didn't seem to be so impressed with this so-called discovery.
Truth to be told, he already had suspected it before and his theory was just proving itself to be right. “So, what do you get it now? We can go on it you need some more help to understand it.” Sakura whined between his giggles.
His arms pressed shut against his sides, trying to stop Suo's hands from exploring and torturing his nerves, while he kicked his feet around Nirei, trying to dislodge Nirei's hands from his sensitive knees. The tickling made it hard to think, to know how to react. Somehow, fighting seemed to be easier, to be something more controllable than being tickled.
Sakura shook his head, these thoughts leaving his mind almost at the same pace as giggles left his mouth. “E-EHEHehnohough!! AhHAHAh, yohohou two cahahn stohohop!”
"But I don't want to! I've never seen you smile yet alone laugh before, Sakura..." Suo teased, not even thinking about stopping it. "Besides, I can't move my hands away when you clench your arms like this. Say, Sakura, do you really want us to stop?" he wondered out aloud.
His hands, still being "trapped" wiggled upwards and Sakura could suddenly feel ten fingers attacking his armpits. A new wave of tingles flooded his body and he laid his head back, pressing it against Suo's chest while loud chortles left his mouth. "HahAhhhahahHAHH! N-NoOHohohho thAht’s- waAhahhAhH!"
Nirei was watching the playful back and forth between his friends and decided to switch spots as well, his curiosity getting the better of him. Carefully pulling down Sakura's rolled up trouser leg, he moved his potion a bit. Squatting in front of him, he began to poke his belly, using both hands to keep both himself and Sakura in position.
"AhHhAhahahhA! WhAhHAt, noOHhohot thEhehre!" The dual-haired’s reaction followed right away and Nirei felt how he tried to suck in his stomach, which only made the tickling more effective. Should he do it? His cheeks turned a bit red as well as he thought about it. He really wanted to tease him as well.
The blonde watched Sakura’s smile, his happy expression, unusual but not unwelcomed. He knew that if Sakura really wanted to, he could break free any time, but seeing him accepting it, letting them see this side of him, trusting them… it made Nirei truly happy and feel warm inside and he came to a conclusion. Yes, he should do it.
He took a deep breath before he began to chant "Coochie coochie coo~" while squeezing his lower sides playfully. “Pfft…” Suo scoffed quietly from behind, unable to hold back his reaction and keep his facade. For a moment, he even forgot to keep tickling Sakura under his arms, making him squeal loudly when the tickling suddenly resumed with full strength.
“S-Suo?” Nirei chirped, digging into Sakura's sides as he looked past the laughing mess between him and Suo. “Don't worry, I just found it really cute! You sounded adorable just now,” Suo nodded, resisting the urge to laugh again when Nirei's brain seemed to short circuit for a moment, “can you do it again?”
“N-No!” He pouted, taking out his frustration on Sakura's stomach. “It- It was for Sakura! Not you! And I-” “GUHUHUYS!! AHAHhaha, plehEHEHEASE!!” Sakura shrieked, surprised with his own reactions, but unable to help it as being tickled while being ignored was proving to be worse than having his friends’ attention.
It was as if the sensations felt more intensive, more ticklish and Sakura wished that they would've just continued to talk to him instead of just tickling him while casually talking with each other. Wait... why didn't he want them to stop? The dual-haired shook his head. The sensations were giving him strange ideas and he didn't know why.
He hadn't even realized that Nirei had stopped the tickling upon hearing the word "please". However, his hands still remained where they were and were now gently rubbing over his belly which still tickled a bit but was much better than before. He could handle that much.
"Ohh sorry, Sakura. Are you alright? We didn't go overbo-" "SuHush iHit!" Sakura panted, taking in some well-needed breaths of air. His mind was still clouded from all the laughter but he could slowly focus on the blonde in front of him who was giving him a sheepish smile.
A sudden squeeze on his upper flanks made him gasp again and he could hear Suo's voice. "Don't worry about it Nirei, if he can still talk back to us, he should be fine~" he suggested, tilting his head to the side so he could have a look at Sakura’s flustered expression, with cheeks flushed to the brightest shade of pink in the market. “Right, Sakura?”
“I- hnghaha, thahAhat’s not- agh, I dohohon’t know, d-damn it!” Sakura whined, already feeling his friends’ fingers picking it up from where they left it, making him squirm left and right in his seat, trying to find a way to pry them off his body or stop them in their tracks. “I-It’s wehEHeheird!”
Nirei giggled, leaning a little closer as he poked Sakura’s stomach over and over, changing his attention over the guy’s hips from time to time, just to come back seconds later and catch him by surprise. “Sakura, it’s okay to say if you are having fun! Everyone should have fun with their friends, right?”
“Exactly,” Suo nodded from behind, trying to get his hands under Sakura’s arms again, tickling the highest ribs he could reach while he was at it, “I can grant you we are having a lot of fun.”
“Y-YOHOhohou two suhUHUck!! AHAhaha, t-thiHIhis is hehEHEhell!” Sakura laughed helplessly, his body telling the opposite of his words as he shook his head back against Suo’s body as the tickling emptied his hand again, making it almost impossible for him to think of anything else.
Suo giggled at his honest reply, smiling down at him. He was just too fun to tease. "Then why are you laughing so much Sakura? If it's really like hell, you surely wouldn't, right?" Suo teased before he let out a fake gasp. "...But did I hear you right? We... We suck... did you hear that Nirei? Are we so bad at it?"
He locked as with the blonde who decided to play along. "He- Pfft He did say that... mhm I didn't think I would be so baHad at it either," he said, trying to sound hurt, whereas you could clearly see him biting on the lip so that he wouldn't giggle. "NooHOh t-thaht's noHot-" Sakura wanted to say, but was interrupted when Suo spoke up again.
"Do you know what that means, Nirei?" "H-Hehy doHon't iHignore meHEh?" "What does it mean, Suo?" he asked, already guessing what the brunette would say. "We should spice things up a bit~" Spice things up a bit!
"NohoHOho!" Sakura's eyes shot open and he began to buck a bit stronger, his legs were kicking out and he accidently kicked the blonde lightly, who caught the foot in his arms. It all happened fast enough to take any chance of reacting from him.
Before Sakura realized it, Nirei was pulling at his leg, tickling and digging into the back of his knee and the bottom of his thigh, while Suo shoved his hands under both his arms at once. He cackled like a madman, shaking his head left and right as he uselessly thrashing inside his friends’ grip. “GUHUHUYS!! AHAhahah, t-tooho muhuHUHUCH!!”
Sakura stomped his free foot on the ground and rocked his body back and forth, trying to find a way to escape those tickly touches that seemed to follow him everywhere no matter what. He felt tears forming on the corner of his eyes and clinging to his lashes, his face warm and burning in a now even brighter shade of red.
Was being tickled always this intense, Sakura thought - but only for a moment as all he could focus on was the ticklish sensation overwhelming his nerves. "You brought this upon yourself Sakura..." Suo teased, his fingers wiggling even more eagerly into his armpits, "and now you have to take the consequences for it. Nirei get his shoe off~" he ordered, feeling him flinch.
Sakura didn’t like where this was going. Were feet supposed to be ticklish as well? He didn’t know, but if Suo even asked for said spot, then it must be a pretty sensitive area as well. This was bad. He couldn’t even handle the current stimulations of his nerves… he had to do something, anything.
"NoOHoho doOhn't you dAhahre ahAhah f-fuHuhuck oHOhoff," Sakura cursed and tried to pull his foot out of Nirei's hold, but the blonde had him in a surprisingly-strong armlock, making it hard to pull him off, especially if you had to deal with these damn sensations under your arms at the same time, sucking up all your energy.
"Don’t worry Sakura, I’ll be gentle~" Nirei encouraged, which wasn’t helping. Damn it, damn it, damn it! Sakura cursed innerly, but no matter what he tried, he couldn’t stop it. Nirei chuckled as his free hand began to work, opening the shoelaces before pulling it off his foot.
He could see his toes wiggle once they were freed, curling as if it could protect them from being tickled. His fingers brushed slowly over his arch, testing the waters, and once again, he wasn’t disappointed. "StoOHohop p-pleHEehse ahHgh damnh iHit!"
“Just a bit more, yes? We are almost done with you,” Suo explained as if this all was part of some medical examination or work in progress. How could he tell Sakura to wait when he could barely form a proper sentence?!
“Right, we still have to report about your patrolling and probably check the week's schedule with the class,” Nirei said, one grip closed around Sakura’s ankle while he tickled the trapped foot with the other, “there also might be a meeting at the rooftop later… We should spare some time just in case.”
“Ahh, such a busy schedule, right? That's our captain for you!” Suo added, his voice sweet and almost convincing if it wasn't for his hands tickling Sakura under his arms.
Sakura felt his head getting light and the sentences becoming harder to form. His cheeks and stomach felt sore after smiling and laughing for so long, making him wonder if tickling could also be a bit painful like that.
“S-SUHUHUOHOH!! AHAhah, I caHAHAhan't- N-NihiHIREHEHEI, S-STOHOHOP IT YOU TWOHO!!~” he whined, feeling like he had reached his limit of what he could handle. "PleHehehase noHOho moOHhore," he said, his voice sounding a bit hoarse. The smile on Nirei's face disappeared right away, turning into a light frown.
His fingers slowed down a bit before he stopped his tickling, letting his foot rest in his lap. "S-Suo, I think he had enough..." he said, looking at his friend. Suo didn’t seem to have heard the change in his voice as he continued to wreck his poor armpits. "SUO! Let's stop for a second!" Nirei said a bit louder.
That caught the other's attention and he gave Sakura’s armpits one last wiggle before her removed his hands as well. When he felt or rather saw Sakura exhausted state, his usually teasing mimic switched one similar to Nirei.
He laid a hand on Sakura's shoulder and gave it a light squeeze. "…You're okay, there Sakura?" "We didn't overdo it, did we?" Nirei asked, a bit worried as he watched the dual-haired taking in some much-needed breaths, his chest moving up and down as he tried to regain his senses and calm down form their combined tickle attack.
However, those worries didn't seem to reach Sakura. With a dazed, blank look in his face, Sakura took a moment to rest by himself. He wheezed, taking deep breaths while feeling his whole body tingle.
It wasn't until he saw Nirei waving his hand before him that Sakura understood that there was something else happening around him. Shaking his head, he blinked a few times before getting back into his right mind. “H-Huh?” Suo chuckled, now placing both his hands on Sakura's shoulders. “He is fine, we didn't break him.”
Nirei nodded, letting a little sigh of relief while Sakura only seemed to grow more confused by the second, looking back and forth between his friends in the vain hope of figuring the scene out. “W-What are you two about?!” “Hahah, don't worry, Sakura,” Nirei smiled, brighter this time, “let's just get you patched up and go back, ok?~”
He grumbled a bit, but didn't complain much as he watched Nirei finishing his treatment. Seeing his smile calmed him down a bit and he rubbed over his sides, to get right of the ghostly tingles that were still lingering on them. The events came back to his mind and he suddenly wondered if the other two were ticklish themselves.
"... I want to tickle you too..." he mumbled more to himself then the others. "You said anything?" Nirei asked looking up at him and Sakura felt himself flush again. "O-O-Of course not... give me that..." he stuttered, grabbing his shoe and yanking it on, before he stomped away, stopping after a few meters before looking back. "C-Come on, let's go back..."
Nirei smiled as he got up. "Right away, Sakura~" he said chuckling. Suo looked after them, feeling a light tingle on his neck, as he repeated the words in his mind. ‘…tickle you too…’ ehh? Sakura has really grown up, he thought and couldn’t help but smile. Things are gonna get interesting from now…
Another smile hushed over his lips and he shook his head before he caught up to them. "Coming~" Yes, he was definitely looking forward to see Sakura grow even further…
A/N: It's been a while since I posted one my tickle headcanons but I really wanted to write a little something for the three of them. Sakura is such a precious and cute character and his reactions are the best. This show makes me always so excited and seeing the three of them getting closer with Sakura opening up to them more and more throughout the series makes me really happy~
Sakura, Nirei and Suo
Furin High School is a place that had many firsts for Sakura. It was the first place where he found people, friends that really cared for him. It was the first place where people accepted him for who he was. It was the first place where he could breathe freely and wanted to stay. And it was also the first place where he experienced being tickled and tickling someone else.
Sakura didn’t know before what tickling was. In his past, a lot of things had happened and he never really received physical affectionateness, neither from his family or from friends he didn't have then. Sure, he had seen others getting tickled before - parents tickling their children our friends tickling each other in a playful manner, and he had always wondered why they had to laugh when the others were just putting their hands on them. Of course he had tried it out himself at home, standing in front of a mirror and mimicking what he had seen: Wiggling one hand under his armpit or poking his stomach, feeling embarrassed when he didn’t show a reaction, believing that he wasn’t sensitive at all. He didn't know back than that you couldn't tickle yourself... nor did he know how wrong he was with his assumption. Sakura was ticklish, very ticklish to be exact, although he wasn't aware of it until he came to Furin. So, he was both confused and curious when he found out that he actually was. It had happened by accident when Nirei had poked his side to get his attention. This feeling when his hand touched his side... it didn't hurt, it was different from an attack...it felt...strange. Not the uncomfy way of strange, more like a tingle that made his body feel warm and belonging. The touch was gentle, soothing even, and Sakura didn't know how to react to it. He didn't need to, since his body’s reactions spoke for themselves. He had flinched, letting out a surprised squeak that got him the attention of the whole class. Closing his eyes, he waited for them to make fun of him for making such a sound and was surprised when this didn’t happen. Instead, they all cooed and laughed (in a good way) at him, teasing him with things like "What, our class captain is ticklish", "So you're ticklish too" or "Did our Sakura really just laugh". Even Suo had a happy smile on his face which only confused Sakura even more.
From this day onwards he was tickled almost every day by his classmates. Sometimes it was just a poke to the side when they walked by, wishing him a ‘good morning’, other times his seatmate would tickle him during class breaks, teasingly dragging down a pen over his back or poking it in-between his ribs, he would get tickled by them when they were treating him after a fight and sometimes, he got even pulled into so-called tickle fights. The term alone was new to Sakura - a "fight" where you didn't get hurt but laugh and goof around. Some might call it childish, but for Sakura, who never really had friends before or know of skinship, it was a new experience that even made kinda fun. He had always been competitive, wanting to be the strongest, and this competitiveness also didn’t make a stop when it came to the class’s internal tickle fights. Of course he was still inexperienced at first, new to the field, not knowing where- and how to strike, to get the best reactions out of his "opponents" so that even someone like Nirei could’ve beaten him, if latter wouldn’t be so ticklish himself. But he learned quickly, got better at it, and even became to enjoy those "fights" just as much as the real ones, especially with those he was very close with (read: Nirei, Suo and Uenomiya).
He has an incredible endurance and a stubborn refusal to lose or give up. That personality feature often clashed with his body’s ticklishness. Even though he's sensitive as hell, he wouldn't even move a millimeter towards giving up. One time, about a week after he got involved with tickling, it had gotten so far that five people had to team up to make him admit defeat. Attacking his sides, tickling his armpits, wiggling their hands behind his knees... they had even taken off his shoes, tickling his bare soles. Still… Sakura was shaking his head; face beat red and tears of mirth streaming down his flustered face as his laughter had filled the room, not wanting to admit defeat. I would like to put on record, that even then it was only duo to Nirei’s intervention that the tickling came to an end, because he got worried that Sakura might actually pass out from laughing so much. To be honest, it wasn’t that bad, but seeing Sakura gasping for air, his hair disheveled, face all blushy with his cloth sticking to his sweaty body, Nirei got worried about his friend, for whom everything was still new. In the end Sakura, was glad that the blonde had stopped the others, though he would never tell them that, stubborn and easily embarrassed as he was. An interesting fact I would like to mention here, is that Nirei is the only one who still has a puppy license when it comes to tickling him - even Suo doesn't have one and oh boy, the fact that Sakura never really gets him back as bad as with the other is both a blessing and curse at the same time.
Despite his lack of ability of admitting defeat, Sakura's body is a completely different story. His face flushes as soon as the tickling begins and creeps further and further until it covers his entire face up to the tip of his ears. His arms squirmy uncontrollably towards the tickling hands and his legs start to kick out, while his toes curling in excitement. At the beginning he still tried to suppress his laughter, worried the others might hate it or maybe just because he was not used to hear it. However, after he had grown closer to them, he soon began to drop the walls he had built around himself, letting out his giggles and later on his actual laughter - much to the delight of the whole class. Sakura's laughter is surprisingly childish and very contagious. It even includes some light snorts and chortles, though you only get this when tickling him on his feet, riiight under the vulnerable area of his toes. The dual-haired is also weak to verbal teasing and it makes the tickling for him almost double as bad. He still can’t handle it well, but upon seeing his happy expressions his classmates still use it whenever they can to get to hear (and) their favorite class captain’s joy.
Sakura isn't much of a ler, which doesn’t mean that he doesn’t tickle others at all. He just isn't used to it yet. The dual-haired usually likes to "tickle" Nirei, just giving him a light squeeze to the side, before withdrawing his hand, and mumbling some inaudible words, his face already flushed as red as a tomato. Besides that, he had one tickly wrestling fight with Sugishita, which he surprisingly won, and a few light tickly interactions with some of his classmates, involving Suo, Anzai and Kiryu. Though, he still has to try climbing the ladder to graduate before becoming a fully-fletched ler. But with the help of his classmates and the notes of a certain blonde, he’ll surely master all of it very soon.
Nirei - matter of factly - is pretty ticklish himself. Though, besides Kiryu, he's the only one in the whole class who actually enjoys it. I'm deliberately not going further and mention a certain whitehead - ahem Umemiya - here, since this boy is on a whole different level when it comes to "enjoy being tickled" but let's go back to Class 1-1 for now. As just stated, the blonde loves to be tickled and be close to the people he cares about. Tickling him is very easy, since he's neither a squirmer, like a certain dual-haired, nor is he missing many tickle spots. It usually just takes a poke to his side or a wiggle on his stomach to have him lying on the ground, radiating this cheerful laughter without even trying to hold it back. Sakura got actually a bit scared the first time he had built up the courage to tickle him, aka squeezing his side, not expecting this kind of strong reaction from his friend, but was soon drawn to it. The freckled teen is also a clinger that holds onto those that tickle him, sometimes even telling them where and how they should tickle him to get a better reaction out of him. He just loves the sensation and the feeling that made his insides tingle. He enjoys tickles from Suo and Sakura the most, since he knows that both of them have a soft spot for him.
The blonde also meticulously takes notes, collecting all kinds of useful information that might come to handy one day. His database - which he cherishes like life itself by the way - doesn't stop by a person's height or their food preferences...no, it also includes stuff like tickle spots, which techniques work better and much more. He also isn't embarrassed the slightest to ask his classmates just like that about it, his eyes sparkling when he looks at them, waiting for an answer. It happened the first time when meeting Sakura as well and Nirei was overjoyed to bombard him with a surge of questions like "Are you ticklish by the way?" , "Tell me, where are your tickle spots if you are?" , "Do you prefer… mhm soft tickles or more rougher ones?" , "Any tools you like to use by chance?" I could continue this list endlessly but I think you get what I mean.
As a ler, Nirei acts very methodically. He's like a walking database and remembers each and everyone's tickle spots, just like the names of the entire student body. So, when he's tickling someone, mostly with the help of his classmates, since he’s not so physically strong, he's always mumbling to himself, reassuring what he had learned in the past. "Anzai likes soft tickles, he's especially sensitive on his armpits, so if I just wiggle here, it should be the most effective." , "Tsugeura is sensitive on his neck and feet. Slow tickles proofed to be more effective, but he tends to kick out when being tickled on his soles so I'll go for his neck..." Because of that, he had gained the nickname "Tickle King" among his friends in class and even those stronger as him, try to be careful around him to not reveal another spot that they might've been able to hide so far. Nirei, obviously, doesn't know about it, and sometimes feels their eyes on his back, wondering what’s going on.
Surprisingly, Suo isn't ticklish at all - or that's what he wants others to believe. It is true that there aren't many spots that would cause a reaction from him, he had learned to hide them quite well. Still, if you know where to strike you could even get a giggle out of him. Though, there is only one spot that would cause such a reaction from the mysterious teen. As one say, sometimes making things too obvious is the best way to hide them. The brunette's sole weak spot are his ears. Brushing a finger against them already makes him flinch and when you would be brave enough to use a feather, you would be rewarded with light snickers from him that would jiggle along with his earrings.
However, afterwards you would be in for a lot of trouble. He always makes sure to pay you back, often double as bad. To top it all, he's a teaser and actually enjoys seeing his lee blush and stutter when he leans over them, smirking down at them with his trademark grin, wiggling his hands midair before he strikes. Therefore, he loves to tickle Sakura the most, because he has the best reactions and is also quite easy to fluster. He prefers to use slow tickles since it not only builds up the anticipation, it also makes the teasing more fun.
The word of their class's tickle fights had spread out through the school and had also reached the ears of Furin's leader, which would lead to a few interesting events and happenings in the future. Also, the members of Shishitoren whom they would befriend would play a role in this. But all of this, the involvements of Umemiya and the events he would plan as well as the tickle fights with the members of Shishitoren, above all Choji and Togame, who both were much of big lers as well, is another story, saved for the bright future ahead of us…
I love your fanfics, and I'd like to suggest some Lee!Sylus Ler!Mc from Love&Deepspace with prompt #104 since there are like two small moments of his neck being canonically ticklish- (secret times, and with the wolfcut)
Anyways, thank you for being an awesome writer and have a amazing day✨
May Drabbles - #2 - Requests Open!
Note: Aww thank you so much!!! I hope your little remark was free pass for me to focus on his ticklish neck because I actually did.
“What, did you think you were just going to get away with that?”
Your teasing words were barely audible with the amount of giggles that filled the room. Not yours. Onychinus' Leader Sylus, of all people, was the one giggling.
And no, he wasn't getting away with that; being the cutest giggly squeaker in the world, and you were not going to stop teasing him until he was out of breath.
"Kihitten. C-cohome ohon nohohow."
It was pretty cute how much he let you take advantage of this newly found weakness. You had known his neck was ticklish before. A quick tickle, a kiss, and a nibble was all it took to make him squeak.
But now that Sylus was surrendering himself to you, resting with his head in your lap as if he was the kitten, while you caressed his hair, his cheeks, his ears and his neck, you couldn't help but indulge in those sweet sounds he made when you focused on his ticklish spots.
One giggle was all it took for you to unleash your merciless attack on him, and no, he wasn't going to get away now.
"So ticklish you are," you sang, scribbling your fingers against his neck and ears while he squirmed and writhed.
"Y-you're beheheing vehehery- ahhahah!"
Your smile of your own only grew. He was so cute.
"Very what? Do speak in full sentences, darling," you taunted. You knew what you were getting yourself into, and you didn't care. His revenge after this was going to be sweet, but sweeter than his revenge was the sound of his voice.
Now that you wiggled your fingers up and down his neck, his reactions had gone from cute and restrained giggles to surprising bursts of laughter.
Your entire body tingled at the mere sound of it. It wasn't just cute, but beautiful as well.
"Kihihitten! Okahahay! Okay- ahahah!" Okay what, Sylus? You were too busy grinning to add some more verbal teases, but you took in each and every twitch and reaction as if they could feed you for several winters.
"Ehehenough!" His half-hearted pleas did not convince you to stop and you proudly kept up your tickle attack on him. He had only himself to thank for this; for being so cute!
What do you mean they text each other even though they are in the same room? Have weird nicknames for each other? Have physical touch non-stop?
Kaveh could never imagine himself living that life.
He and Alhaitham are different. They’re just roommates. A friend in need. His landlord. Nothing more.
Yet he found the lines of their relationship blurring when a sudden message popped up on his phone.
From Alhaitham, too.
He looked over to Alhaitham, who was leaning on the other arm of the couch. They are literally living under the same roof, in the same room, on the same couch. There is no reason to text.
Alhaitham only shot the confused Kaveh a “just look at the message” look.
Weird… Kaveh thought to himself as he clicked onto the message anyway.
That ‘message’, as it turns out, is an Instagram reel.
And the Instagram reel features a cat getting tickled by its owner and squirming adorably.
Kaveh felt his cheeks get hot as he watched onwards. Why, out of the thousand reels Alhaitham had watched, would he send him this particular reel?
The last thing he needed to be reminded of was his terrible defeat in the tickle fight he had with Alhaitham last week.
Ping. Another message. Still from Alhaitham. Kaveh braced himself as he opened that message.
There were only two words— “that’s you~ ”
That was the last straw for Kaveh.
Whipping around, still blushing like an idiot, he hurled the phone in Alhaitham’s face and asked, “What is the meaning of this?”
Alhaitham only shrugged nonchalantly. “I said what I said. The cat looks just like you when you lost that tickle fight last week.”
“I do not—“
“The cat even has the same tickle spots as you do, look at how ticklish its sides are!”
Alhaitham exclaimed, and any words that could have left Kaveh’s lips got stuck in his throat.
“Look at the way it squirms! You also do this kind of shimmying when I get you good, won’t you agree?”
Kaveh only cursed under his breath, his face burning off. He had no ground to stand on— Alhaitham was not wrong in his commentary.
The only thing wrong about his commentary was that it messed up Kaveh’s thoughts.
On one hand, it made him tingly all over and he wanted Alhaitham to tickle him.
On the other hand, he wanted to punch Alhaitham and tell him to shut up, and he can’t decide which one to do first.
Eventually, Kaveh settled for covering his face with his hands, mumbling, “Don’t tease me. I’m not like that.”
“Are you sure you’re ‘not like that’? Don’t lie to me, Kaveh. I know you well enough to know you’re very very wrong. In fact…”
Alhaitham paused mid sentence, allowing Kaveh to peek at Alhaitham’s face through the cracks of his fingers.
Alhaitham was grinning sinisterly to himself. Not a good sign.
Suddenly, Alhaitham lunged himself across the other side of the couch, successfully straddling Kaveh, fingers poised at the side of Kaveh’s tummy.
“…In fact, how about I do a little demonstration?”
Without another warning, Alhaitham’s fingers started to dance a ticklish path across Kaveh’s stomach, causing Kaveh to bring his arms down to latch onto Alhaitham’s wrists.
“N-no! Alhaitham, hehe this is not necessary hehe , d-don’t!” Kaveh said through giggles.
“Oh, you’re a squirmer. That’s really really cute. “ Alhaitham noted, and Kaveh knew he could never live this comment down.
This whole situation was extremely embarrassing.
He was squirming exactly the way the cat did when one hand circled his belly button and the other hand clawed at his ribs.
Not helping with denying the “that’s you ~” claims.
And to make matters worse, Alhaitham’s fingers moved downwards, rubbing circles on Kaveh’s hips, causing Kaveh to let out loud snorts in between giggles.
”A-Alhaitham, n-not hahah there!” Kaveh squealed, thrashing wildly like a child.
“Where? You mean your hips? I mean… if you insist. ” was Alhaitham’s only response. The two hands that were squeezing and pinching Kaveh’s hips came to a halt, leaving a panting mess of a Kaveh on the floor.
“Gosh… I never thought you’d let up, you’re truly cruel and merciless—”
Yet before Kaveh could utter another word, the soft drumming at Kaveh’s armpits made Kaveh choke out a loud gasp, eyes tracking every move of Alhaitham’s devious hands.
“Ah I said I’d stop tickling your armpits, not cease my tickle attack.” Alhaitham mused, watching in amusement as Kaveh’s eyes grew as wide as saucers.
Alhaitham was having the time of his life watching Kaveh squirm beneath him.
Kaveh’s mouth was slightly gaped open in shock, his cheeks rosy, and he kept staring at Alhaitham with that excited yet anticipatory glint.
Truly beautiful.
Yet, Alhaitham’s laughter is what he truly desired. Plunging his fingers in Kaveh’s armpits, Kaveh’s arms immediately clamped down to his sides to protect his armpits, jolting forward with a loud gasp, before dissolving into loud squeaky laughter, his body trembling from the ticklish touch.
All while squirming, Kaveh let out occasional ‘please’, ‘no, not there’ and ‘Alhaitham, you menace’ (in which Alhaitham punished him with more tickles), all very cute and melodious to Alhaitham’s ears.
Yet, when Kaveh’s laughter went silent, it was a signal for Alhaitham to stop.
Scratching at Kaveh’s armpits one last time (and earning a cute mewl), Alhaitham resorted to tickling under Kaveh’s chin lightly, helping Kaveh calm down from the tickle attack while still giggling lightly.
“I… you… you’re evil, Alhaitham. To compare me to a cat and then tickle torture me? You are heartless. I’m taking away your roomie privileges, which means no more touching and tickling. At all.” Kaveh fake pouted, warning a chuckle from Alhaitham.
“Pfft. Don’t worry,I’ll earn it back. Plus, you can always get me back, if you can win the next tickle fight, that is.” Alhaitham teased, and Kaveh let out a scoff.
“Oh, I could definitely win, you see, the last two times are just a mistake,I— ahhh! “
Kaveh’s words were cut off when Alhaitham poked him in the side playfully, and Kaveh immediately rolled onto his side, blushing furiously at his roommate.
“We’ll see about that, giggles.” Alhaitham smirked.
Giggles??!!! Kaveh was left in utter shock, yet before he could playfully punch Alhaitham, the scholar had already left, walking back into his room, leaving Kaveh a blabbering mess on the couch.
That was not fair. Totally not fair. Kaveh thought, blushing to himself and hugging his knees. He's so going to get back at Alhaitham for those two tickle attacks.
After all, this is what just platonic roommates do— have veryyyyy platonic tickle fights and tease each other non-stop. Right?
… right?

Writer’s notes:
anyways if anyone is interested, this is the instagram reel about the cat my friend sent me. ( to translate the Chinese caption, it means this is what your ticklish friend looks like) It is pretty flustering I swear.
Anywayssss hope you all enjoyed this fic. I’m going back to cramming for exam season (sobs)
