For the past few months I’ve had Hermitcraft rotating in my brain. I have found roughly 4 fanfictions on Hermitcraft with tickling. I’m making it 5.
Fandom: Hermitcraft
Summary: Scar misses Mumbo’s laughter. So he deduces that the only reasonable thing to do is to corner Mumbo in his own workshop and make him giggle.
Warning(s): Intended as platonic but readers can view it however they interpret it.
Disclaimer!! This is a SFW tickle fic!
“Scar.” Mumbo cornered himself against the wall. He was startled at the unexpected contact. He hadn’t realized he had literally backed himself into a corner.
Scar chuckled, his eyes gleaming with mischief as he slowly approached the taller hermit. “Yes, my dear friend, Mumbo?” He sang playfully. “My delightfully ticklish friend.” He added, his mischievousness peaking through his mock-innocent demeanor.
Mumbo pressed his back flat against the wall, his arms nervously raised around his midriff. He was already smiling. “Don’t.” He pleaded with part nervousness and part glee. “Don’t do that.”
“Don’t do what?” Scar impishly inquired. He stopped a few steps away. He had left his cane behind him. At this proximity, he could grab the mustached man if he wanted.
Mumbo’s eyes didn’t dare flit away. He shrunk a few inches as he slid down the wall from nerves. The giddy butterflies felt as if they were eating him alive. “Don’t… give me hope of escape.” He elaborated weakly.
Scar comically paused. “Well,” he made a show of warming up his hands with a quick stretch. “If you insist!” He grinned lop-sidedly.
Mumbo’s eyes widened as Scar’s hands easily slipped past his half-hearted defenses. “Scar!” He squeaked. Scar’s fingers were wiggling into the sides of his button-up.
The redstoner folded immediately. “Sca-hah-r!!” He giggled as he slid down the wall, mentally face-palming at how simple it was to get him to cave in.
He jumped when Scar’s fingers squeezed around the sides of his stomach and back at the same time. He cackled.
Scar’s lop-sidedly grin grew fond. He followed the man to the floor and nudged Mumbo to flop over on the ground. Luckily, this part of Mumbo’s workshop wasn’t lovingly littered with redstone dust and parts.
“How kind of you to make this so easy for me!” He teased, maneuvering his legs over Mumbo and sitting on the man’s thighs. He stretched his legs out by Mumbo’s respective sides - folding them would worsen the soreness later. “Thank you. Now, where was I?”
Mumbo giggled madly, struggling to meet Scar face-to-face when the other man was so confident and smug. His hands flailed uselessly as Scar’s fingers playfully crawled higher up his ribs. “Wait!” He protested suddenly. “Wha-hah-t did I do to deserve thi-hihi-s?”
“You didn’t need to do anything to deserve tickles.” Scar insisted, relishing in Mumbo’s titters as his fingers lightly poked between every other rib. “You’ve helped me so much lately! I’m repaying you for your generosity."
Mumbo peeked an eye open to stare up at Scar incredulously, his face so pink it rivaled the color of dyed wool. “By ti-hihi-ckling me?!” He retorted baffledly.
Scar chose that moment to gently vibrate his thumbs into the hollows of Mumbo’s underarms. Mumbo’s body jolted harshly, his head thrown back as startled, high-pitched laughter escaped him. He wriggled and flopped beneath his friend but did not go particularly anywhere.
The sight gave Scar a good laugh though. “But of course!” He replied theatrically, his warm grin turning sinister once more. “You enjoy being tickled, don’t you?”
Mumbo’s poor face looked like it could not get any more red. He’d probably melt into the floor and disappear if he could. He stuttered and mumbled but pretended that he was too overtaken by giggles to respond. He raised his arms to cover his blushing face in hopes he didn’t look like a total numpty.
“Aw,” Scar crooned. The poor man was too flustered to realize he was exposing himself for more tickles. “No need to be embarrassed. Not in front of your ol’ pal Scar! C’mon, you can admit it.” He lightly swirled his fingertips under Mumbo’s arms.
Mumbo’s arms shot down and pressed tightly to his sides. Scar’s hands barely pulled away in time and remained free.
“Noooo!” Mumbo whined breathlessly. He took the moment to heave and fill his lungs while Scar’s fingers weren’t on him. “My god, Scar.” He’s mortified and Scar’s reaction is to giggle at him. The nerve.
Scar spared some sympathy and patted Mumbo’s belly. He enjoyed the vibration of Mumbo’s leftover laughter through his palm. “You are just adorable,” he commented in equal parts affection and playfulness.
The blush spread to the tips of Mumbo’s ears. He rested his head flat against the cold floor. “Scar.” He groaned exasperatedly this time.
“What? Is that so hard to believe?” Scar retorted, his fingers slowly forming into a claw. Mumbo’s breath hitched. He tensed his stomach prematurely. “You’re a handsome fella, Mumbo.”
There was that tone in Scar’s voice. Mumbo was very well acquainted with it. He tampered down a few anticipatory giggles by covering his mouth.
Scar’s lop-sided grin returning full-force, his eyes shining with mirth. Mumbo knew what was coming and yet was doing nothing to stop it.
“Just say you agree with me and I won’t make you admit to a bunch of other stuff.” He promised innocently. As though it were so easy. Mumbo can’t keep up with this.
Mumbo squeaked as Scar’s fingers finally moved. He rocked back and forth as if that were going to do something. It didn’t. Scar’s hand was barely moving actually. Mumbo was tickling himself at this point by moving.
Between Scar’s relentless teasing and the tickling itself, Mumbo gave in.
“I agree!” Mumbo hiccuped, his giggles soft and breathy as he kicked his shoes helplessly against the ground. “I a-hah-gree, Sca-hah-r. Have mercy!” He repeated pleadingly, properly flustered out of his mind.
Scar hummed as pondered. “Since you’ve been such a good sport,” he reluctantly wavered. He let out a long, drawn out sigh. “Fine. If I must.” He sniffled dramatically.
Mumbo laughed just from Scar’s attitude alone. However his words failed him as the phantom tingles set in.
Scar’s legs swung off him and the man sat patiently by his side. Mumbo swiftly curled into a ball, his hair dishevelled and his smile still stupidly big.
“Oh my goodness.” He breathed out, feeling loopy and elated. His hair was a mess and his suit was dishevelled - least he was only in his button-up and not his suit jacket. “Why. Why are you like this?”
Scar reached out. He hovered his hand over Mumbo questioningly. Mumbo nodded wordlessly to permit his touch. Scar’s fingers descended and gently carded through the mustached man’s hair. Mumbo sighed blissfully. He felt like soup.
“The world may never know.” Scar mused mysteriously. Mumbo rolled his eyes. He lazily poked Scar in the side and grinned a little when he heard Scar yelped.
Dude I am literally in love with your headcanons and little scenarios 😭 /pos
May I request headcanons or maybe a scenario with Mumbo? :O -🐾
My first asker!! Thank you so much, I'm very glad you like my little posts :3
[this is SFW tickle content]
T-Word Mumbo Headcanons!!
• lee-leaning switch
Ler:
- he normally keeps to himself and doesn't go after just ANYONE for no reason
- definitely likes tickles on both the giving and receiving end, but is a little shy about the whole thing (awww)
- main lees: Grian, Iskall, Scar
- tickles Grian the most because he's more outspoken about it, and how else is he gonna get him back for all those pranks??
- he almost looks forward to Grian's pranks, purely so he can get him back with ticklish revenge hehe
- will only initiate tickles with people he's closer to, mainly because he doesn't want to accidentally cross any boundaries
- he will 100% tickle someone if they ask for it though ;]
- is the kind of guy to laugh along with the lee and make sure they're having fun
- will also stop tickling them the second they say "stop," even if they don't mean it (especially if they don't mean it ;])
- I mean, he just wants to make sure they're comfortable!! Even if it means they'll have to admit they want him to keep going every. single. time.
- it drives lees crazy, and it's one of the teases Mumbo enjoys doing the most, watching them get all red and pouty
Very tiny scenario, let's say... Mumbo and Grian:
Mumbo starts tickling Grian's sides and he curls up a little, laughter echoing throughout the house.
He instinctively says "stohop!!" and suddenly Mumbo's hands retract.
"why did you stop..?"
"Well, because you told me too!"
"I didn't mean it.." >:T
"Oh? Well how was I supposed to know!"
Grian makes a face and squints at him >:[
Mumbo "innocently" smiles back :>
"Mumboooo!" Grian yells in frustration.
"Whaaat!" He copies the other's tone.
"Keep going!!"
"Oh! You want me to keep tickling you?"
"YES"
"Well if you insist~"
- it's all very playful and cute and aaaaaa teasy Mumbo <3
- he's very sweet the whole time, calling him cute and going "awww!" when he makes a new reaction :3
Lee:
- a very giggly boy
- a big blusher, his ears go pink at the tips when he's flustered too
- very weak to teases of any kind
- main lers: Grian, Scar, Iskall, Impulse, Pearl
- they all love to hear him yelp and squeak when they sneak up on him with surprise tickles
- Boatem has definitely conducted a competition to see who can surprise attack him the most
- Mumbo would be so giggly and in constant anticipation for DAYS. Every interaction he'd think 'is this an attempt to get me again??'
- In Secret Life, him and Pearl keep poking each other when they walk by and pretent like they had nothing to do with it
- (they both knew)
- top spots: tummy, ears
- he has a very ticklish tummy and literally does not stop giggling when it's tickled
- his pointed vampire ears are sensitive to soft things like feathers (especially right behind the ear)
Another scenario, because I NEED lee Mumbo: Ft. ler!Scar 😏
- during the competition mentioned above, Mumbo's working on his mountain when Scar creeps up on him from behind
- Scar grabs him from the back and tackles him to the floor (apologizing if Mumbo got hurt at all)
"S- Scar?!" Mumbo stutters, but is immediately taken over by his own giggling. Scar's hands gently dig into his sensitive tummy and sides, giggling himself. At this point, Mumbo's head is too full of 'it tickles it tickles it tickles' to question what just happened any further.
His head tilts back and his face turns a pretty pink color. He does nothing to stop Scar, no pushing or squirming to get away whatsoever! He just lays back and enjoys the tingly feeling.
Scar teases, "awww! do you like that, hm?~ you're not fighting back or anything! You're so adorable Mumbo!"
Mumbo sinks his head into his shoulders and tries to cover his face with his hands.
"Ah ah ah~ none of that now! let me see that handsome face of yours~" Scar continues.
Mumbo slowly moves his hands from his face (which is much redder now), struggling a little bit from the gentle squeezes Scar was still giving his tummy.
"There we go! Perfect~"
- and they continue like that for a while :]
- I see Scar as a very teasy ler hehe
Let me know if you want a specific hermit of Life Series member to be done next! (🐾 anon, I hope this was up to your standards 👍)
