Mateo Manta Tickle Headcanons
Lee —
— A free-sounding, warm laugh is what Mateo Manta has in store for his ler if they were to tickle him. His cheeks will redden, and the sound of giggles and bright, peals of laughter will sound from him. It could almost be equated to the sun.
— Underarms and knees. Those are his two main, weakest spots. Squeeze the back of his knees? Wiggle your fingers across his kneecap? He’s tittering aloud so happily. So freely. He almost sounds like a bird! Getting his underarms make the sweet boy snort before desolving into a fit of bubbly laughter.
— Some honourable mentions go to Mateo’s belly and sides. They’re not as ticklish as those other parts of him, but they still make him laugh as before. He’s so susceptible to tasers/jumper cables, too.
— Mateo is someone who greatly appreciates and loves the people in his life. And as such, he’s incredibly physically affectionate with them — to the point where he’ll cuddle up with his closest, dearest friends without a second thought. And who can’t resort tickling him?
— He definitely has ticklish ears. When the inanimals nuzzle up against his face, their snouts/fur always ends up tickling his poor, sensitive ears. It’s not like Mateo hides it either, really. He has told the little inanimals what they were doing tickles.
— Dolly and Betty like to give Mateo little prods and pokes here and there, and delight in seeing him giggle and laugh at their advances. Sometimes it’s advanced into full on tickle fights, too.
— I don’t see Mateo as much of a struggler/fighter? Most cases, he’s going to melt in the bliss of this playful, soft form of affection. He’ll definitely grab at his ler’s hands and try to move them to another spot, or away from him as a whole. But, it’s not strong enough to fully move their hands away for long.
— Imagine Realised Mateo coming home after a long, long mission, and falling into the arms of his lover. He missed them greatly, and yearned for their touch for so long . Please, please tickle this sweetheart. Cuddle up with him, and gently scribble his sides, or tummy. He needs it.
Ler —
— What an angel of a ler, let me tell you. Mateo doesn’t have an evil bone in his body when he goes on to tickle you.
— In fact, he’s so flustering? Maybe unintentionally teasing when he’s going after someone. For him, this is a bonding activity! This is something that it meant between close people; for them to show affection.
— I like to think that he’d be cuddly and physically affectionate with his significant other, curled up with them on the couch. Maybe on the grass in a picnic, with the other inanimals. And once his hands are in the area of a tickle spot of theirs, he’d gently scribble his fingers across it.
— Mateo isn’t a rough ler, so to say. I don’t think it’d make sense if he was. Instead, he opts for fast, soft tickles, jumping between your ticklish spots to keep you on your toes at least.
— Part of me thinks that Mateo would enjoy tickle games. Not in a competitive sense, or to entirely exert you, but in a way where he can engage in play, while also being able to see the gift that is your laughing, smiling self.
— He often slips between his own, native tongue and English when speaking to you when he wants to gently tease you. Or, in this case, compliment you.
— “Mi amor, your laugh is adorable! Mind if I hear it some more?”
— “Oh, you’re ticklish here? That’s so cute! You’re like a puppy, my love.”
— “Eres tan linda/lindo. Podría hacerte cosquillas para siempre.” <- (my Spanish is so rusty, I hope this makes sense!)
— As a more joking aspect, or if he’s caught up in his utter endearment for you, he’d bring say “who’s a good human? You are! You are!” And then, most likely apologize.
— He’s super big on cuddling you fully after tickling you. Mateo will lay beside you, and wrap your body closer to his. He’d whisper about how cute you are, compliment you immensely, and absolutely smother you with loving words and affection.
