I immediately thought of the clip where seonghwa said that san and wooyoung always tease him by holding him down and tickling him (I hope you know which one I mean)
Tommy quickly spares a glance at Chanse, who's currently sitting in the TNTL stool and getting his water bottle for the next round.
He turns around and starts digging through the countless boxes of props and costumes along with a couple other cast members. Tommy crouches down and scrounges around in the closest box, only to sigh in disappointment when nothing he found appeared to be that useful.
Angela and Amanda go out first, acting as divorced assassins having the most sexual charged gunfight known to man. Next was Damien, being a clown who's too sensitive. And then there was Courtney, doing some bit of Professor Miller having a midlife crisis after his fifth divorce.
Tommy only went through the boxes faster as Courtney's bit was coming to a close. He's about to give up and just resort to staring at Chanse until he spit.. that is until he spots a small Elmo puppet at the bottom of the box.
A plan quickly formulates in his head as he grabs the little puppet and put it on his hand. Tommy has to admit, this isn't his most thought out bit, far from it, but it's literally the only thing he has when Courtney joins the other cast members after a short applause from the crew.
After the clapping subsided, Tommy struts out in his usual confidence. As soon as Chanse's eyes landed on the red monster he doubles over, but not spitting.
"Hey," Tommy greeted as the puppet in a very un-Elmo-like voice. "You've heard of Tickle-Me-Elmo, now it's time for Tickle-You-Elmo." He makes the puppet point at Chanse, who immediately jolts and wraps his arms around himself. Still, no water came out of his mouth.
Tommy mimes Not Elmo walking over to Chanse made it wiggle it's little, furry hands.
"Now, which tickle spot shall Tickle-You-Elmo go for first, hm?" He asked in a teasing voice, a pink hugh grazes over Chanse's cheeks, and Tommy feels content when a small bit of water dribbles down his chin, which counts as a success. But Tommy wants to know how much he can make Chanse spit just from a poorly put together bit.
"Hmm… say Mr. Chanse, how about that scrumptious looking neck right there?" Tommy makes Not Elmo lean towards the other man's neck as if he was about to give it tickly nibbles, which makes Chanse lean away with barely concealed giggles. Before Not Elmo reaches his neck, he pulls back with a quiet, "on second thought…"
Chanse wipes the water droplets off his chin before giving Tommy an incredulous hand gesture, one that says, "what kind of fucking bit is this?"
Tommy responds with a shrug, because honestly? He has no idea either.
He clears his throat and begins to talk as Not Elmo again. "Ugh, there's just too many tickle spots to choose from! What's a tickle monster to do?" Tommy makes a show of having Not Elmo bow his head in the saddest way possible, earning a couple of sympathetic 'awws' from the crew, who are trying their hardest to keep it together.
That was the last straw from Chanse, however, because he immediately turned his head away and let out the most violent spit take Tommy has ever seen from the other man. The others are having the same thought, because Tommy turns around to see their gobsmacked expressions.
"Are you fucking kidding me right now?" Angela is the first to speak, not taking her eyes off Chanse, who's refusing to make eye contact with anyone in the room. "We go through so many bits everyday, and that's what gets you to spit like that?"
Damien does a slow clap. "I'm honestly impressed more than anything. Who knew you could get such a reaction out of so little?"
Chanse clears his throat, trying to shake off any left over embarrassment from that round. He crosses his arms with his usual confidence. "I only spit 'cause I felt bad for him. I just knew he was scrambling for his life back there!"
Amanda rolls her eyes playfully while Courtney laughed, Angela mmbles something Tommy can't pick up under her breath, but it was loud enough for Damien to hear since he immediately bursted out laughing.
After the outro of that video, the cast diversed before their next videos, Tommy can't help but notice that Chanse was the first and quickest to leave, making him frown.
Tommy fiddles anxiously with the edge of his shirt all the way towards the break room before plopping down onto the couch. Tommy pulls out his phone and begins doomscrolling through TikTok.
Despite the dances, funny animal videos, and the occasional edits (which he definitely does not save to a private account) his mind keeps coming back to Chanse, and he just can't get the thought out of his head that he might've made him uncomfortable.
Shit, he's such a dumbass. He shouldn't have embarrassed Chanse like that. He should probably make it up to him, but how? How can you make it up to someone after fumbling so hard?
Before he can get too far into his spiral, the break room door opens to reveal none other than Chanse. He walks on over to the couch and sits next to Tommy and pulls out his phone.
To any person, it might just look like Chanse being Chanse, no matter how embarrassed he might he he always bounces back with twice as much charisma and confidence as before. To some, it might look like that Chanse has completely forgotten about the ordeal that happened only five minutes ago, either that or he just doesn't care.
But not to Tommy.
It might look like Chanse is all calm and collected on the outside, but people close to him can tell when he's got something on his mind. By the way his breath shudders ever so slightly or his leg bouncing. Sure, Chanse is a good actor and can hide when something's on his mind, but Tommy is also a good reader of people.
"I'm sorry!" Tommy blurts out before he can stop himself.
Chanse raises an eyebrow, clearly shocked from the outburst, and puts down his phone. "What?"
"About earlier." Tommy clarifies, fiddling with the hem of his shirt again. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable, I just didn't have anything planned, and before I knew it Courtney was just finishing up their bit and—"
"Tommy."
"-the only thing that really caught my attention was this little Elmo puppet that I didn't even know we had and the first thing that came to mind was Tickle-You-Elmo which I know is stupid but I literally didn't have anything else—"
"Tommy!"
"—so I went out there and I just started talking before my mind could catch up but you and everyone else was laughing so I thought you were okay with it but I guess I was wrong and I'm so sorry I wouldn't really blame you if you just flatout strangled me right now—"
"Tommy!" Chanse managed to interrupt his anxiety-fueled ramble, grabbing his face and giving him no choice but to look at him. "You have nothing to apologize for. I actually came in here to tell you the… opposite."
The other man trailed off into a bashful whispering, letting go of Tommy's face and averting eye contact like he did at the end of TNTL.
Tommy could only tilt his head in confusion at what Chanse just admitted. This was not how he expected his Friday to go. "What do you mean?"
Chanse buries his face into his hands with a groan, a noticeable blush rising onto his face. "I mean it was the opposite of uncomfortable. I… kind of, didn't mind it." He admits, taking a shaky breath. "I was actually wondering if you could…" He trails off into a mumble that Tommy can't quite hear.
"Sorry— what?"
"… finish what you started? You know, the idea of the bit." Chanse emphasized his point by wiggling his fingers, still not looking at Tommy.
And just like that, a lightbulb turned on in Tommy's mind and he can't help but grin "Oh. You want me to tickle you?"
The shorter man flinches as if he's been shot, his eyes are wide and he begins to stutter. "W-Well, you don't have to be so blunt about it! And I-I don't want to force you or anything so we can just forget this whole thing happened—"
Now it was Tommy's turn to cut off Chanse, pulling him into his lap as he let out a noise of surprise. "You know, I wasn't lying when I said there were too many tickle spots to choose from."
"Tohommy…"
"In fact, I better go through all of your tickle spots just so I can know where's the best spot to tickle you!" In just a couple sentences, Tommy's anxious thoughts got replaced by playful and mischievous ones.
"How about yooouuurrr… belly!" Tommy exclaims in a silly voice as he quickly scribbled all over Chanse's midsection, causing him to squeal and kick his legs.
He immediately lets up and darts his hands into Chanse's armpits, earning some boisterous laughter from him.
"Pffffft— hahaha Tommehehehe!"
"Hm, not quite right either." Tommy muses to himself as if another person isn't currently giggling his head off right beneath him.
Then, Tommy squeezes Chanse's sides, causing him to flail his his limbs all over the place.
"Woah! Guess I ended up finding the jackpot, huh?"
"TOM— TOMMEHEHEHE! PL-PLEHEHEHEASE! NOHOHOHOHO! NOHOHOT THEHEHEHERE!" Chanse basically begs, which is very un-Chanse-like.
Tommy stays in that spot for a little bit longer, making sure to go up and down which elicits many different sounds out of him.
He only stops when tears of mirth threaten to slide down his face. He ceases his tickling and gently rubs at the spots that he had tickled Chanse, he can't help but smile at the man on his lap, content with the fact that he trusted Tommy enough to do this.
Although it might not be a big deal to some, that meant the world to him.
