*rams through door* sO BAD WRECKING RAN WHEN THEY WHERE STILL IN THE CASTLE. like maybe ran isnt following orders or smthing so instead of punishing him he just,,,,,wrecks the poor boy. And ran legit melts because he hasn’t been tkled before that maybe??
OH MY GOD Y E S
Ran never being tked before because being ticklish is seen as weakness and vulnerability. Weakness and vulnerability is not allowed in the Nether and will definitely cause someone to be kicked out and left alone in the overworld. Bad just bringing Ran to a more private area that people don't usually walk past and then just goes down town
revenge is a dish best served gay or something like that
Summary: Jackie can be very mean when getting revenge and Ran knows this better than anyone.
A/N: might change the title later who knows. i’m not Super confident in this one so i’m sorry if it’s not as good as my drabbles.
Ran has been in his fair share of frightening situations, due to his whole assassin thing in the past, and has undergone thorough training to prepare himself for them. To keep a level head, to not let his fear show.
This one has to be the most nerve-wracking of them all, he’s sure.
He’d never been very good at keeping himself still in these kinds of situations, so he can’t help but shift nervously under Jackie’s stare. His hands remain unmoving on his sides, except for his thumbs slightly rubbing up and down just to feel Ran tense up.
“What?” Jackie grins, and Ran finds just enough confidence in himself to glare at him, even when his face starts to burn. “I’m hardly doing anything.”
“But yohou’re-“ A giggle slips out through his words, and Ran cuts himself off to compose himself for a moment. “You’re going to.”
Jackie giggles, like a little bitch. “Yeah, i am.” His tone is sugary sweet despite the way he lifts his hands to curl his fingertips into Ran’s sides ever so slowly, grinning wider at the way Ran jumps and his breath hitches. “But i did tell you i’d get you back eventually to be fair.”
He did in fact tell him that, as he always does after their positions are the reverse of what they are right now, but Ran usually doesn’t take it too seriously. You can’t blame him when Jackie is cuddled into his chest, with his hair all messy and cheeks flushed red as he threatens him with revenge. But he’s learned by now that Jackie always gets revenge.
But that’s never stopped him before, being able to revel in his boyfriend’s laughter makes it a bearable price to pay. He’s still gonna complain about it though.
His thinking makes it easier for Jackie to catch him off guard, and Ran lets out a squeak and jerks away from his touch as he starts walking his fingers up his ribs. “Yohou’re so mehean.” He whines.
“You like it when i’m mean.” Jackie points out, rather rudely if you ask Ran, even if he is right. Jackie knows that if Ran wasn’t enjoying it, he wouldn’t be going along with what he says. “And be careful, you know what’ll happen if those arms come down.” There’s an even more teasy lilt to Jackie’s voice towards the end of his sentence, making the butterflies in Ran’s stomach flutter even more.
Ran whines again and turns his head away, avoiding looking at Jackie’s smug expression and holds his hands together even tighter from where they lay over his head. You suck, he wants to say.
Jackie’s fingers continue their trek up his ribs, taking their sweet time with it too, Ran having to hold himself back from arching right into them. He expects him to continue up under his arms, an easy spot to get him to bring them down for sure, but he instead moves right past them and up to his neck, making Ran bring his chin down to try and protect himself.
The action forces him to meet Jackie’s eyes, lit up with mischief and a touch of fondness that makes his ears feel warm. Jackie’s just prolonging his torment at this point, his fingers reaching the back of his neck before dragging his nails lightly over the sides again. Each time Ran tilts his head to one shoulder to block out his fingers, he just focuses more on the other side to get him to move back, the process repeating over and over.
Keeping his laughter in is something Ran is typically good at, but with all the anticipation Jackie is building up, it’s becoming much harder than usual, unable to stop the small giggles and trills from flowing through.
Jackie coos at each little noise, fingers trailing up to trace over his chin before making their way to his ears, the featherlight touch making Ran’s giggling grow louder and higher in pitch. A pretty funny change from his usual deep and smooth voice. “Aren’t you just the cutest thing?”
“I am nohohot!” Ran protests through his giggles and squeezes his eyes shut so he once again didn’t have to look at Jackie, and maybe it’ll help him get some of his composure back. Spoiler alert: it did not. It did quite the opposite of that.
The fingers finally moved off of his ears after a little while of tracing, Ran taking a second to relax his shoulders and slump into the bed. It’s short lived when that same gentle touch moves to his stomach, Ran yelping in surprise and his legs shooting up almost violently, his knees knocking into Jackie’s back.
In any other circumstances he probably would have apologized for that. But when Jackie simply giggles and coos out an “I know you have a very ticklish tummy, but you don’t have to hit me,” Ran decides that he no longer deserves one.
A snarky comment about how Jackie is certainly one to talk dies on his tongue at the feeling of blunt nails raking up the length of his stomach, before making their way back down once they reach his bottom ribs. He keeps it so slow and torturously light that it has Ran arching his back into it, a drawn out trill escaping from his throat.
He remembers Jackie’s giggly whines that light tickles are so much worse, and he has never understood more than he does right now. He’s barely touching him and yet it has Ran hiccuping into his arm at the way it lights up his nerves.
And because Ran is a fool he believes that Jackie decides to have mercy on him when his hands drift over his sides and sneak around towards his back, repeating the same up and down pattern on each side of his spine. It gets a wary mrrp out of him at first at how nice it suddenly feels, despite how slightly unbearable it was just a second ago.
Ran’s arms had already been tired from fighting to keep them up, so the very pleasant tickly feeling practically turns them into goo, his muscles all relaxing except to keep himself arched and give Jackie more access. Jackie smiles at him softly when he starts to hear Ran purr a little.
It almost makes him feel bad for what he’s about to do.
The fool in question nearly jumps two feet in the air with a loud squeal when a big raspberry is suddenly placed in the center of his stomach, and to make it worse Jackie now was using his arms to prop up his back, making him unable to curl up and try to escape the sensation, only pulling him further into it. It’s really no surprise when Ran’s arms come crushing down to lightly push at Jackie’s head, his defeat at that point already inevitable.
“Jahahackie!” Ran cackles and kicks his feet against the bed, his laughter being accompanied by a few snorts as Jackie peppers a few smaller raspberries around his stomach. “Okahahay! Yohou wihihin!”
Jackie finally lets up and pulls away, Ran almost becoming one with the bedsheets once his arms slipped out from under him. Jackie looks far too smug above him, but Ran loses the will to complain when Jackie starts rubbing over his stomach to help get rid of any lingering tickles.
After taking a moment to catch his breath, Ran opens his eyes and immediately glares at Jackie with all of the anger of a disgruntled kitten. “That was definitely an illegal move.”
“The only rule we made is that you couldn’t put your arms down, which you broke by the way,” Jackie points out, only slightly rubbing it in Ran’s face. “So since you lost, you know what that means, don’t you?”
Ran only remembers what he’s talking about when Jackie raises his hands to teasingly wiggle his fingers at him, clamping his hands over his mouth to keep himself from bursting into anticipatory giggles again. But since they both agreed on this, the only complaint he makes is a long, muffled whine, even while his tail starts wagging in excitement.
They’re definitely still gonna be here a while. Ran only has a little bit of regret.
