You'd think that someone as cute as Marshall is ticklish. And he is! In fact, if you just squeeze his sides, his defense mechanism is falling onto the ground. On a scale from one to ten, he's about an eight when it comes to being ticklish, but he just overreacts for the most part. It's not hard to get him either. If you tell him to look over there, he will and you can surprise him. Yes, he may be an extremely smart man, but when he's a little tired and with someone he trusts a lot, he becomes a little gullible. And once he's on the ground? He goes "Ah ah - no! Don't do that!" He knows what's coming, that's why he's trying to give orders again. Don't listen to him and just have fun instead, he's not going to punish you or anything.
Teases work on him. They work very well on him too. Wiggle your fingers in his direction, tell him about how adorable he is and how he should laugh a little more. Tell him about how you're going to make him laugh while giving him a smirk. He'll excuse himself just about everytime since he doesn't want to be seen as this weak. Tickling flusters him a lot, even if he doesn't really know why. Tease him an entire day and at some point he'll ask you to get it over with while you're alone. It's really cute. If you trap him between yourself and a wall, teasing him even more, he tries his hardest to bite back a flustered smile. But he won't take the initiative and tickle you first. In fact, he's not vengeful with that sort of thing either. If you're close to him. Anyone else gets an earful, will be punished and might get tickles back.
Put your hands in his armpits. Even if you don't do anything yet, he'll almost shriek and trap your hands there. And yes, he does whine. Stop teasing him and just do it already! Poor guy!! He does flail a little, but not as much as one might think. Though, it needs to be said that he'll try to crawl away. Also, he's going to seem a little more intimidating by barking out orders, but alas, none of it really keeps him from getting wrecked. You could also try to go for his hips, he's going to try to dart as quickly as he can. It's kind of funny what kinds of noises you can draw from him just by tickling him a little. He even snorts! Overall it' very fun to tickle him.
But you better stay with him afterwards! While I don't think he'll need too much time to recover, he certainly wouldn't mind if you stayed with him a little afterwards. Hold him close to you, let him catch his breath a little, let him hide his face. You might be told about how unprofessional all of this is, but he's probably not going to do too much about all of it as long as you don't do it during critical points in time. You can tickle him while he's staying up late at night to get him to go to sleep, maybe even while he's having bad thoughts about Harrow's betrayal, but don't do it on a mission, for example. Yes, he'll tell you that what you did was not cool, but he's not out for blood and not too much of a ler either, unless asked or pushed. So you're safe, as long as you don't overdo it.
