Before we get started I’d like to say that as a certified pun hater, the title was not my idea
and now that we’ve gotten that outta the way…
second ever trolls tk fic!! Yippee! Thx again isitwp for the abundance of prompts and patience, i greatly appreciate it
so without further ado…
we got a silly scenario where Viva n Clay are having a sleepover! Viva wants to share all her best jokes, but Clay doesn’t find them funny at all (me core), so since she hasn’t made him let out even the smallest of titters all night, she feels she needs to help him out…
“Wait wait, really, this is a good one! This’ll make you crack wait”
It was nearly 11:30 at night and Viva had been constantly blabbering out the stupidest dad jokes for probably an hour at this point; Clay was honestly impressed at how she could remember so many.
He was not, however, impressed by the puns themselves.
“Why can’t dinosaurs clap their hands?” Viva was sitting cross-legged on the carpeted floor across from Clay, leaning forward in anticipation for his reaction to her next joke.
Clay sighed and rolled his eyes. “I don’t know, Viva.” He groaned, growing tired of all this.
“Because they’re extinct!” She exclaimed, and clapped her hands together, barking out a couple laughs before settling down and looking at Clay’s emotionless face.
“That one’s different,” he stated, earning a disappointed sigh from Viva.
“Not into literal jokes either, huh?” She asked, fidgeting with the fabric of the carpet.
“I already told you, jokes in general just aren’t funny at all to me. I’m more into slapstick humor, or-“
“Can I just try a couple more? Pleasepleasepleaaaase?”
“Fine, but-“
“I gave my handyman a to-do list, but he only did jobs #1, 3, and 5. Turns out he only does odd jobs!”
Clay simply blinked at her, looking as bored as ever.
“Eh? Come on Clay, that was a good one!”
“It really wasn’t, Viva.”
Viva groaned, her ears drooping. “Dude, why do you have to be so serious all the time?”
“I’m not that serious! I agreed to have a sleepover, didn’t I? I’m just not a fan of puns. I know Poppy would love them though, so save em all for her, alright?” He wasn’t entirely upset about Viva’s yapping, though. There was something about seeing that look in her eye when she told a joke she was really proud of that was just so… he couldn’t quite come up with a word to describe it, despite his complex vocabulary.
Viva chewed on a random lollypop she had gotten from fuck knows where (Clay decided not to question it), seemingly deep in thought. Then her eyes lit up, and she slowly looked up at Clay with a mischievous grin. Clay sighed again as she shuffled closer to him.
“Not another joke… can we just find something else to do?”
“Clay, I bet you.. uh… three groan tubes that I will get a laugh outta you from my jokes tonight!” Viva betted, now sitting next to Clay. He almost wanted to fake a reaction, just to make her happy…
Nope. Gotta lock in.
“Groan tubes? Uhh okay, I guess”
Viva giggled with excitement. “Okay! Who won the neck decorating contest? It was a tie!” Before Clay could say anything about how dumb that was, she drilled her fingers into his side, causing him to yelp at the ticklish sensation.
“g-GAHA- Vihiva, what the heck?”
“I’m not done- dogs can’t operate MRI machines, but catscan!” This time she pulled him close and blew a raspberry into Clay’s neck. He cackled as he tried pushing her away. “You thought it was funny! You laughed! You laughed! She teased in a singsong voice. Clay shook his head, still grinning from the raspberry.
“nohoho I didn’t! Cheater-“
“What do you call a dog that meditates? Aware wolf!”
She blew another raspberry against his neck, shoving him to the floor and pinning him down in the process. Now for the grand finale.
“AHAHAHA- Vihihiva! C-cut it ohout!” Clay didn’t put much effort into trying to get up, as he was too flustered.
“I tried to make up a joke about ghosts, but I just couldn’t. It had spirit, but no body!” Viva lifted his shirt and blew the fattest raspberry on the middle of his stomach, and in response got the loudest and most joyous laughter out of him. She loved the sound. She sat beside him and chuckled, waiting as he took a few deep breaths. She was done tormenting him for now.
“That was straight up evil, Viva.” Clay said, but with the tone of his voice Viva knew he was joking. She grinned and leaned over and gave him a small peck on the cheek, his face growing bright red as a response.
“You’re a good sport. Take this groan tube, as a thank you!” She pulled a bright blue plastic stuck from her hair and handed it to him. Clay laughed, a little distracted still by the kiss though.
“th-thanks, heh. You always have one of these on you?”
“Oh, I got a bunch!” She tilted het head to the side and a bunch of OOOOOEEEI EEAAAAOOM sounds came from inside her hair. The two laughed at how whimsical it was.
Clay sat up and Viva hugged him, and, caught off guard (in the best way possible), Clay froze for a second before hugging her back. He loved how she made him more comfortable to loosen up.
He was totally gonna get her back for the tickling, though.
I’m 11 minutes late but here’s a cute Claypollo hurt/comfort that doubles as a cope fic for me since I broke up with my SO on Vday
Enjoy!

Apollo Justice had a new mystery to solve. One that fortunately didn’t include murder, but nonetheless gave him a fair amount of grief.
The mystery involved his closest friend and most intimate companion: Clay Terran. After being friends for more than a decade, the two of them knew each other like the back of their hands. Or at least, that’s what Apollo had thought until Clay had shown up at his apartment on Saturday morning acting like a completely different person. He knew something was up immediately; his attitude was piss poor, and nothing seemed to pull him out of it. He had moped around all morning, barely saying a word and preferring to grunt as his chosen form of communication. It was the first time he’d ever seen Clay so down and lethargic since the death of his mother. And despite Apollo’s attempts to reach out, he refused to talk about it.
By late afternoon, the budding lawyer had grown tired of Clay’s crabbiness. He realized he would have to take drastic measures to find the truth.
It started off innocently enough. The two friends were sprawled out across Apollo’s gigantic brown leather couch in the living room; Clay laying against the pillows on one side with his arms crossed, and Apollo leaning against the back of the couch next to him. He flipped through the channels mindlessly as Clay stared blankly at the changing screen.
“Law and Order’s on.”
“Eh.”
“Okay… what about SVU? That one’s got better cases, anyway.”
“Sure.”
“So is that a yes?”
“Whatever.”
Apollo paused for a moment, looking over at his friend who had a sullen look on his face. He pointed the remote at the TV and pressed a button, sliding the remote on the coffee table as he turned to face Clay. The dialogue murmured in the background as he spoke.
“Alright, time to fess up.”
“Hm?”
“Don’t ‘hmm’ me. You’ve been acting weird all day. Tell me what happened.”
Clay just pouted.
“Nothin. Just in a bad mood.”
Ba-dump.
…Oh! Apollo felt his bracelet tighten around his wrist. Although he didn’t need to use his perceive ability to know that Clay was lying, he decided to use it anyway.
“Clay,” he started, hoping to prod a confession out of him. “This isn’t like you. I know something’s wrong. Why can’t you just tell me?”
Clay shifted a little in his seat, but his expression didn’t change much.
“I’m fine! Really! Just drop it.”
Ba-dump. There it was again. Apollo could’ve sworn he saw his lower lip quiver when he said the first part.
“Your frown is giving you away. Your lip trembled when you said ‘I’m fine.’”
Clay shot a glare at him.
“Get out of my head with your lawyer stuff! If I say I’m fine, I’m fine!!”
He said those last words quite loudly, and they had Apollo at a loss. There had to be something he could do. Even if he couldn’t get him to confess, he could at least try to cheer him up.
After pondering his options, he eventually slid off the couch and walked around back, feigning defeat.
“Alright… if you say so…”
Clay paid no mind to his friend as he snuck behind him, unaware of what he was planning next. He suddenly shot up when he felt a pair of hands squeeze in between two sensitive spots on his shoulders.
“AAAH!”
He tried to worm away, but Apollo had a strong grip. He could hear him snickering behind him.
“Relax! You’re so jumpy.”
“Ngggh! Stop!!”
Apollo laughed out loud, rolling his thumbs into his skin to add to his torment. He relished in the sight of Clay squirming so aggressively under his touch.
“Don’t tell me you’re still ticklish?”
“Nnnnnh, no!”
Finally, Clay managed to shake him off. He twisted around, taking a swing at him but missing by a long shot.
“Seriously, stop! Don’t touch me there.”
“Alright… I won’t touch you there…”
Apollo walked into the kitchen, and when Clay was certain he was gone, he turned back to face the TV. A few minutes passed by uneventfully, and he started actually paying attention to the episode of SVU. Unfortunately, this meant he was caught off guard again when Apollo suddenly body slammed him from behind the couch, pinning him down on his stomach and shoving his hands under his arms.
“AAAAAAAAH! Ahahahaaaaa-HAHAHA! Dude, stop!!”
“Stop what? What’s wrong?”
Clay was alternating between keeping his arms at his sides and attempting to elbow Apollo’s hands away. His frustrations only amplified when his efforts to fight him off ended in vain. Despite kicking his legs and twisting his body from side to side, he could not escape and resigned himself to laughter.
“AHAHAHA – Apollo!! – GAAAAAH! Don’t!!”
Apollo grinned. He could tell the tickling was starting to get to him.
“Remember when I used to pin you down and tickle you like this when we were kids? You loved it.”
“NAAAOOO! I dihihihidn’t!”
“Are your ribs still ticklish?”
“NOOOOOO!”
It was an elegant switch; Apollo simply drifted his hands downwards and began clawing at his ribs. His wide hands fit perfectly around Clay’s athletic midsection; one finger rested upon each rib. He knew this spot wasn’t as bad as his underarms, but for Clay it was torture nonetheless.
“Ahahahaha - AHAHAHAHAHA! Apolloooooo!”
“Why are you laughing so much, huh? What’s wrong?”
“It TIHIHIHICKLES!! Pleeeeease!”
“Please what? Tickle you more? Oookay~”
“NOOOO! You assHOHOHOLE!!”
Clay’s laughter pitched higher when Apollo’s fingers reached his sides, as it did whenever he touched another ticklish spot. He made things ten times worse by poking all over at random. His ribs, stomach, and underarms were no match, and as he was already quite weak he could barely flail his arms at this point. He shrieked every time Apollo touched him, jolting into the air as if he was bouncing on a trampoline.
“AAH! NO! GOD! STAHAHP! NOOO!”
Apollo relented at last, allowing his breathless friend to regain his senses. Clay lay limp for a moment and breathed deeply between flipping over onto his back, still too worn out to think of a witty comeback.
“Don’tcha feel a little better now?” the lawyer asked with a shit-eating grin.
Clay’s smile soon faded once his breathing returned to normal. A melancholy expression washed over his face as he turned away, eyes slightly wet and reflecting the ceiling lights. He almost looked worse than before. It broke Apollo’s heart to see him like that.
“Clay… I know that look. What’s eatin’ you? I’m your best friend. You can tell me.”
Clay sighed, fighting back tears as he spoke his next words.
“I got dumped…”
Apollo’s mouth fell open in shock.
“Wait, seriously? She broke up with you?”
“Yeah…”
Neither one of them spoke for a while. The only sound coming from the television and Clay’s still staggered breaths. Apollo was the once to finally break the silence.
“I’m so sorry,” he whispered.
Clay just shook his head.
“It was a long time coming. I thought I’d be fine, but honestly… I’m not.”
Apollo sat there for a moment, puzzling over the situation in his head.
“Well, what do you wanna do? Or I guess, what do you need me to do to help you feel better?”
Clay gave him a bizarre look, a mix of confusion and embarrassment. Apollo watched as his already pinkish face blossomed into a deep shade of ruby. He mumbled something, looking away in shame, then quickly shook his head. Apollo pressed him for more info.
“What? What is it?”
Clay returned his gaze, and took a deep breath with cheeks aflame.
“You could… uh… do that again.”
“… What? Do what?”
“You know… what you were just doing…”
Apollo put two and two together, and finally realized what his friend was asking. A wide smile spread across his face that he couldn’t suppress even if he tried.
“Oohhh… you want me to do this?”
He scribbled his fingers across Clay’s stomach and laughed along with him as he cackled and squealed, this time a little more jubilant than before.
Im only doing Brozone rn because thats all I feel like but send an ask or smth to request other characters if you’d like
golly gee here we go (im going in age order ((oldest to youngest)) because organization🔥🔥)
⭐️⭐️⭐️
John Dory:
90% ler, 10% lee
definitely used to wreck his brothers before the band broke up when they were younger
Used to embarrass his brothers in public by poking their sides or something and found it hilarious
the rest of Brozone definitely all ganged up on him for revenge
he isnt really a lee but doesn’t hate being tickled
still ticklish af though 💀
worst spot is his ribs
whenever one of his siblings starts a tickle fight, he usually wins
Always tells Poppy all of Branch’s worst tickle spots
He would sometimes tickle his brothers before a show to get them energized/in a good mood. Especially Clay, since he was supposed to have a silly attitude
(the following hcs are yanked from isitwp)❤️
- will purposely always pin his lees down, no matter who or what, he will always pin them down, even if it’s at the beginning, middle or end, somewhat he will pin them. (But sometimes he likes watching their limbs flail in desperate attempts to escape)
- when branch was younger, he would 100% hold him upside down and tickle his stomach as branch went crazy, desperately trying to get away.
- was known by his brothers as the “big tickle monster” considering he was the oldest, he was more stronger and he would chase them around the house and would not stop until he eventually got atleast one of them or until he just got tired.
- JD will in fact blow raspberries and to just make it worse, he would shake his head while blowing one to make it EVEN worse.
- definitely goes “nom nom nom!” When blowing raspberries and tickling his brothers, however he only does the nom nom nom thing on his brothers, he gets embarrassed if someone else knew that.
- definitely uses his hair to give a small sneak tickle attack to the side of his lee’s then acts like he didn’t he didn’t do anything.
- this bro used to actually tickle his brothers if they weren’t in the mood to practice, feel like it would go something like this: clay- dude, I’m not in the mood! JD- yeah yeah sure okay. *tickles clay’s armpits* clay- DUHUDEHE NOHOHO!
-if in a ler mood, JD will and I repeat will aim for these spots first, stomach, sides or ribs when he first attacks.
- acts like such a dad when tickling, he will go something like: JD- just checking on you! Respect your elders you rascal!
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Bruce:
100% ler
he doesn’t exactly hate being tickled either, but when he was younger and JD would poke him to get him to laugh (he always did it when they were interacting with fans too) he would get pretty mad so now he just gets embarrassed when he’s tickled
buuuuut since he’s a dad now he probably tickles his kids a lot so he does the same to his brothers. Especially Branch, since he’s kinda still considered the baby of the family
as adults he and JD sometimes team up during tickle fights, but when they were younger they went after each other the most
death spot is his stomach/sides
sometimes when he’s tickling his brothers, he’ll tell a dad joke, and when they laugh (bc they’re being tickled, not bc of the joke) he says something like “I knew you liked dad jokes!” Or “you really thought that was funny?” And they always get pissed
doesnt wreck people often, usually he prefers to briefly tickle people to cheer them up/ surprise them or something
his laugh gets really high pitched when he’s being tickled and he hates it
as an adult, any time JD tries to poke him he INSTANTLY gets revenge and wrecks him no matter where he is
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Clay:
70% ler, 30% lee
ALWAYS the one to start tickle fights
loves to sneak up on his brothers and surprise them with a tickle attack
sometimes will intentionally bother his brothers just to get them to tickle him. Would never admit that was his intention though
after the band was reunited and stuff, he tickles Branch all the time since Branch gets annoyed so easily now and he wants to cheer him up
has a really squeaky laugh when he’s tickled
he gets surprised easily so whenever someone tickles him he fucking screams
Clay is literally the kind if dude to lie and say he isn’t ticklish when in reality he is
His underarms are his worst spot but his ears are pretty sensitive too
such an evil ler and always knows exactly what teases will fluster his lee the most
when someone tickles him he says every swear word (minus slurs of course 💀) like it’s insane
“FUHUHUHUHUCK YOU HAHAHAH GOHOD D-DAMN BIHIHIHIHITCH AHAHAHAHA-“
he never means any if it though dw
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Floyd:
40% ler, 60% lee
Floyd is the kind of dude to shyly ask his brothers to tickle him
SUCH a fucking sweetheart as both a lee and a ler
has a habit of hugging himself or his ler when he’s being tickled, but if he’s pinned then he’ll stim in some way, maybe by kicking his legs or something. He does this because he doesn’t want to fight the tickles but its hard to stay still
He would always team up with Branch when they were younger during tickle fights so that Bitty B wouldn’t be all alone/overwhelmed
LOVES soft/cuddly tickles
feathers make him WEAK (he’s hella feather ticklish)
has literally the sweetest sounding laugh
his back/shoulders/neck are his worst spots but he’s super ticklish everywhere else
when he’s the ler, he always gives raspberries
Don’t let his adorable appearance fool you, though- he can and will fucking wreck people. He just doesn’t do it often
best at giving cheer up tickles
loves to compliment people while he tickles them
(more stolen from isitwp because rawr)
has moments where he checks if the lee is fine before going back to mercilessly tickle them.
- 100% gave branch cheer up tickles and still does, YOU WILL NEVER CONVINCE ME HE DOES NOT.
- definitely tickled branch most when they were kids, he also tickled his older brothers to save branch from their tickles.
- gave branch the tickle of his lifetime after they returned, he would tease him like: Floyd- sorry branchie, gotta tickle you for all the years I’ve missed!
- calls branch “branchie” to tease him during tickling which branch HATES.
- pulls Lee into his lap so he can nibble on their neck, most likely going “nom nom nom!” Just like JD.
- like JD, he also used to hold branch upside down and tickle him.
- yells “here comes the spiders!” And begins spidering all over his lee just to hear them scream HEIWNWHDIDJS.
- just the look in his eyes before he tickles the lee is already enough to make the lee giggle, HE AHS SUCH A DEVIOUS LOOK.
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Branch:
50% ler, 50% lee
Super duper shy about tickles though
whenever he’s in a ler mood, he usually goes after Poppy because he’s used to it (started tickling her more often when they started dating bc he knew that she was comfortable with it and also bc he knows that she’ll most likely get him back and he loves it). Doesn’t even know why he’s so nervous to tickle people, especially his brothers because they tickle each other all the time
when it comes to being tickled though…
Branch is easily the most ticklish out of all his brothers 😭
He would literally rather eat a spider than ask for tickles because it’s so embarrassing to him
he loves it when his brothers tickle him without him having to ask
at this point Poppy knows that he secretly loves tickles, and since he would never ask, she asks him if he wants to be tickled
he usually replies with a shy little nod
always covers his face to hide his goofy giddy smile when he’s being tickled
⭐️⭐️⭐️
