Hi, @hakurei-k, I'm your Santa for this year! Sorry this is a little late, but I hope you still enjoy it! It was a challenging prompt since I don't typically write intense stuff with multiple lers, but it was a fun fic to do, and I'm so happy I got you!! I also want to thank @squealing-santa, Hypah, for being such an amazing host!! Couldn't have done it without you, thank you for keeping the tradition alive!

Warnings: pranks, suprise tickles
Summary: Barbatos has a day off but doesn't know how to spend it. How better to than with you? Mediating a prank war wasn't in the plans, though.
Word Count: 1.8k
When Diavolo had first approached Barbatos about taking the day off, he was against the idea. “My Lord, the New Year’s celebration is not far away. The castle must be prepared for guests, there is much work to be done-”
“Exactly my thoughts! You’ve been working tirelessly, my friend, you deserve some time to yourself. It’s my castle, I want to have part in the decorating! Besides, I know you’ve been keeping an eye on that new tea house. Take the day and relax, Barbatos.”
Diavolo patted him on the back and left Barbatos standing in his office, lost for words and with a blank mind for the first time in a while. For anyone else, the opportunity would be a blessing, to leave your duties behind and pay attention to the parts of your life neglected. All Barbatos could think about was the castle in a state of disarray, clashing colors, decorations strewn haphazardly about the place, anything less than perfect was not acceptable.
However, Diavolo’s pout if he figured out Barbatos was still working during his break was too heartbreaking to think about. Barbatos sighed, pulling out his DDD and pulling up his messages with you.
Barbatos
MC, would you like to join me at Witch’s Brew this afternoon? My schedule has been cleared.
MC
Oh? Is that the new tea place across from Majolish? I would love to!
Barbatos
Alright. See you at noon.
Witch’s Brew was a quaint shop that sold both loose leaf teas, tea sets, and delicious desserts. To a demon like Barbatos, it was heaven. The aroma of dried flowers and warmth tickled his nose as he opened the door, sitting down at a small table with a candle in the middle. It was peaceful here, soft music playing over the speakers and setting a light ambience to the space. Ordering some tea for the both of you would be his first order of business. The fragrant notes of hibiscus and lemon called to him from behind the counter, he would bring it back to the table piping hot and waiting.
A smile came across his lips as he imagined you taking the first sip, your eyes lighting up at the sweet flavor- rich and floral with a hint of tart to balance it. The thought was almost as sweet as you were. The tinkling of the doorbell made Barbatos glance up hopefully from his cup, eyes alight when he saw you. But you weren’t carefree and jubilant as usual. He picked up on the nervous glances you were sending around the room, your hesitant steps towards the table, and most of all, you hadn’t greeted him with so much as a smile yet. Quite unusual.
“Ah, hello Barbatos! Sorry I’m late,” you whispered, smoothing your clothes and sitting in the chair he pulled out for you. The demon cocked an eyebrow at your behavior, instantly analyzing your expression. He knew something was up.
“Would you like to tell me what is obviously bothering you? You look like someone is out to get you.”
“Ahaha… well…” You scratched your arm, averting your gaze and peering down into the teacup. “You could say that.”
You chose to elaborate on the prank war currently going on in Purgatory Hall, the one you had started a week ago. Luke had voted on staying out of things, which meant you, Solomon, and Simeon would have to prank amongst yourselves.
Pulling out all the stops this morning, you had set up several pillows to fall onto Simeon’s head, covering him in feathers. You had swiped one of Solomon’s singing potions earlier in the week and mixed it into a batch of cookies, which had him singing curses for the next hour. You had found these harmless pranks extremely funny, but both Solomon and Simeon were sure to get you back.
“So that’s why I have to stay vigilant! They could be anywhere, Barbatos, I have to keep a lookout,” you explained, taking a sip of your tea. The flavor was complex and delicate, a nice reprieve from the chaos going on with your friends. You melted into the warm drink, nodding at the teapot, “This was a good pick, thank you for letting me try it!”
Barbatos shook his head with a fond smile. He knew you were “I believe tea is better when shared in good company, so it’s my pleasure.” Pouring you two another cup, he thought on your predicament. If Solomon and Simeon were working together, it could spell disaster for everyone in Purgatory Hall.
Humming in thought, Barbatos finished his tea and set the cup down gently onto a saucer. “Can I escort you back? Like I said, my schedule is clear for the day, so it would be no trouble. That way, you won’t have to worry about anything on your way,” he offered. Barbatos knew they would never do anything to harm you, but if it would make you feel better, it was worth it.
You perked up, relief washing over your face. “I would appreciate it, those two like to scare me as much as it is.”
Taking a dessert to go, you and Barbatos left the teahouse and started the journey back to the House of Lamentation. On the way, you talked about everything from next year’s classes to Satan’s newest cat adoption antics. Barbatos felt at ease talking to you, as he always did. His worries for the celebration faded with every step as he let you take the wheel of the conversation. Before you knew it, you two were on the doorstep.
“Thank you for walking me here, Barbs. We need to do this again sometime!” You opened the door and were about to wave goodbye when two arms pulled you into the foyer. Barbatos quickly moved inside, surprised by the sight that greeted him.
Solomon and Simeon had trapped you in their arms, encircling you like twin felines playing a game of cat and mouse. Solomon’s deadly smirk was something you knew all too well, paired with Simeon’s laughing eyes, they had been out to get you from the start. “You fell right into our trap, MC~” Simeon purred in your ear, watching your eyes flit between the trio of people in the room. Well, one human, one angel, and one demon. The mischievous fire in Solomon’s eyes appeared anything *but* human to you in this moment.
Solomon looked to the demon at the door, “What do you think is a fitting punishment for our friend here, Barbatos?”
Barbatos slowly stepped forward until he was in front of you three, assessing the situation. “Seeing as they’ve confessed their transgressions to me already, I believe something… like this will suffice,” Barbatos reasoned, grinning at your shocked face.
“Barbatos! You’re supposed to be on my side- HEY!” Barbatos wormed his hand between you and Simeon to give your side a squeeze, making you curl into Solomon. Simeon started to snicker at the idea, using his free hand to scribble around your neck while Solomon’s smile grew wolfish. “I think that’s a great idea, don’t you think so, MC?”
You were trying not to react to Simeon’s gentle scribbles, your cheeks puffing out and your lips pouting to hide your smile. “N-no! Not a great idea! Barbatos- help me!”
Raising an eyebrow, the demon tilted his head to the side, “You want me to help? Alright, I can manage that. After all, I have no obligations today, I can spend as much time as I want here.”
Barbatos latched onto your sides, kneading into them with sudden speed and vigor that you weren’t prepared for. Your straight faced facade went flying out the window as you tried to wiggle away from the tickles to no avail. Solomon and Simeon seemed to have the same idea, the angel’s fingers finding a home in your armpits and Solomon’s squeezing at your hipbones. “WHAHAHAIT! NOhOHoO!”
You had endured tickle attacks from all three of them separately, but together, the trio was insufferably good at reducing you to a laughing fit. They continued to scribble and poke all over your worst spots, Simeon finding a good spot on your lower tummy that almost sent you backwards. Every time you got used to something, one of them would move, sending you into giggles all over again.
“I almost forgot how ticklish they are! Solomon, keep that up,” Simeon laughed with delight at how you squirmed away from Solomon’s evil hands that were currently chasing your ribs. “If I were you, I would stay still- it would be done a looooot faster!” Solomon chirped from your left, tazing your ribs and making you fall into Barbatos’s waiting arms.
“Your laugh is almost as sweet as the tea, you know,” Barbatos whispered quietly, kneading into your lower back and sides, chuckling when you tried to pull away with a blush. Simeon gasped and excitedly pulled you away, hugging you tight against his chest.
“Theres this thing I used to do to Luci when he would misbehave, let me show you!” He closed his eyes and you felt invisible feathers gliding across your ears and neck, making you scrunch up. The feathers seemed to reach all of your worst spots, soft but they tickled like hell. When you felt one graze the bottom of your foot, you squeaked in surprise, how was this even possible? Simeon’s laugh sounded like bells, contrasting with your loud and squealy one. “I cAhAHaAHaN’t! PlEHehAHeaSe!”
He slowed down the feathers of his wings to softly stroke up and down your arms, letting you collapse into him. Solomon ruffled your hair, “You all tired out? I think it’s payback for making me sing through all of breakfast. Simeon looked like a fancy chicken this morning,” he laughed. Simeon rolled his eyes, “Did you learn your lesson, MC? Never mess with Purgatory Hall, or you’ll awaken the tickle monsters that live there!” He tapped your nose, taking note of your lingering smile and flushed cheeks. He grinned and gave you a hug, releasing you.
Barbatos had his hands behind his back, almost like he hadn’t contributed to your ticklish demise. “The cake is still outside, would you like me to bring it in?” His sly smirk didn’t go unnoticed, you nodded, rolling your eyes. “You were supposed to help me!”
“I never said I would help you. Besides, I think you deserved a little prank back for the ones you performed,” he noted, bringing the slice of matcha cake inside.
With a sigh, you took the bag, holding out the delectable sweet. “How about a truce? Do you guys wanna split this?” All three of them nodded, causing you to smile. As you made your way towards the den, Barbatos concluded that his day off was a day well spent.
Agh why can't I tag you (Yeah I'm fairly certain I know who you are 😆) For some reason it locked me out and I couldn't edit the draft so I had to screenshot it T-T
After this I'll be changing the rules so it's just 1 lee and 1 ler cause I forgot to mention that. I'll still do this one cause if I refused it wouldn't be fair to you.

You were in trouble. All three of your boyfriends had been struck with a playful mood, and now they were taking turns tickling the fluff out of you. Simeon's fingers lightly grazed over your sides as he held you in a hug. So gentle, but it drove you mad. "Mpfhehehe nohohohoho!" You squirmed in the angel's grasp, but the voice of your favourite human caught both you and Simeon's attention.
"Hey, at least share a little," Solomon scooped you out of Simeon's arms and proceeded to place you in his own only to start tickling your sides again, making you squirm and laugh some more. Solomon used a mixture of rough and light touches that kept you on edge, not knowing what to expect. "AEEhehehaha Sohohohohol!"
"My my, I do believe it is time for a switch, wouldn't you say?" Barbatos stood with his arms crossed before sitting down next to the sorcerer, and joining him and spidering his fingers around your sides and tummy. It was going to be a long evening, one filled with laughter.
Just a short lil drabble with Ler!Barbatos, Lee!MC
Warnings: teasy barbatos 🙄, tickles
(a fellow tea enthusiast card, divider by @/cafekitsune)
“Wait wait! Waitwaitwaitwahahahahait!”
You opened your eyes cautiously, seeing a smiling demon above you, wiggling his fingers. Yes, you had asked for this. But were you ready for it? Pfff- never!
“Hmmm? Why am I waiting again?” Barbatos asks dryly, his apathetic drawl couldn’t hide his playfulness. He makes a show of twitching his hands right above your worst spot, making you squeak.
“Becauseeee! I just…” And suddenly, the amazing excuse you were about to tell him disappeared. He couldn’t help himself from grinning wide, “Yeeees?”
All he got from you was a giggly whine, eliciting a deep chuckle from him.
“Darling, we can wait as long as you need. I can make us all the time in the world.”
He snaps his fingers, a blue sheen takes over the room for a few moments before settling down into its natural state.
No way. Did he just..
“Stop time? Yes, I did. Now I have you all to myself, how wonderful,” he purrs, scratching under your chin teasingly.
“Bahaharbatohos! Stop teheheasihihing!” You batted at his hands, scrunching your shoulders up.
“Of course. Since you would prefer to wait, we’ll start when you ask me to.” Oh he was evil, and he knew it.
You cover your face and groan into your hands, the demon butler’s smirk never fading. “You’re insufferable,” you grumble, peeking through your fingers to see his forming claws near your sides.
“I won’t start without the magic words, MC,” he challenges. Barbatos would be the death of you.
You sigh, resigning to your fate.
“Go ahead, t-tickle me alreadahAhaHAHA!”
hey guys!! I’m super excited about tickletober, although I can’t promise many fics (；v；)
I have some pre-written, but most of them will be short drabbles with headcanons or just headcanons, or even short imagines! I’m just very busy with school, work, and life, but you all are so supportive!!! I want to write, so if you have any more suggestions for the remaining tickletober days, please drop them in my askbox! There are many that don’t have a prompt yet :3
Anyway, thank you all for being patient and I’m excited to see what everyone else has in store for this event! May your October be silly, fluffy, and fun!
Helloo, I’m back with more letters, this time for Barbatos from Obey Me ^^ may I request letters E, H, and K (and W & Q if you’re interested and it’s not too much)? As always though, feel free to skip any of them if you’re not interested ^^
Have a wonderous day/night <33
Tickly Alphabet here!
(Can you tell I’m obsessed with their cards lol this is A Butler’s Private Lesson)
E: Expression | How do they express their wish to tickle/be tickled?
Tbh I feel like Barbatos doesn’t often express what he wants, which is sad :((
Because he’s a butler, and right hand man to the Demon Prince, most of his time and energy is put into making sure Diavolo has everything he needs. But when he becomes closer with you and the rest of the cast, he does come out of his shell a bit. I don’t think he would ever ask on his own? He likes to plan activities and stuff for you guys to do, but with that specifically he wont do on his own. But, if you provoke him? You are getting wrecked 100%
H: Habits | As a lee/ler or both, do they have specific habits when it comes to tickling?
Sort of like Solomon in the way that he points out your reactions or things he notices, but he’s a lot more subtle. He doesn’t talk much, but his eyes do all the teasing. He loves to use his tail if his hands are occupied! Doesn’t use nicknames, only uses your own name.
K: Killer Move | As a ler, do they have special skills to use against their lees and drive them crazy with?
“Stay still for me, will you? You’re proving to be a bit difficult. If I have to help you, it will be a lot worse.”
Loves using tools! He has you pick out your favorites before you start, and if you don’t like using them, that’s okay too!
Q: Question | Their response to the question ‘are you ticklish’?
“An interesting question. What do you think? I’m curious to know what your thoughts are. It has never been of importance to me. I suppose I’m not sure.”
W: Word | What is their reaction to the T-word? Can they say it out loud or do they get embarrassed?
He thinks the word itself is odd. He can say it but it feels weird on his tongue, the first time you mentioned it to him, he scrunched up his face and tried pronouncing it several times. He knew what it was, but not the word for it. Diavolo and you had to teach him a little lesson :3
Hihi, may I request Solomon & Barbatos hcs for if you tell them you’re part of the tk community? (preferably as a lee but up to you ^^ ) I love your hcs dhshjsbssksm
If you’re not interested though I totally get it ^^ have a nice day :DD
YESSSSS OF COURSE
and you might be aware of this but I also did hcs for the seven brothers for this on my previous blog (linked here and here)
I’m going to expand your request to do the rest of the dateables :3
How the Dateables would React to you Being in the Community
Solomon
you already know he is going to be so smug
I have a fic planned out for this sorcerer along the lines of this heheheeee
Now that he knows he can test potions out on you? He will add more tickle ones to the mix
And of course, he has to teach you tickle spells as his apprentice in nightbringer
He will totally embarrass you in front of the brothers and during class
Loves to hold it over your head
“I’ll tickle you if you don’t. Oh wait! You wouldn’t mind that, would you? Treat it as an incentive, hm?”
will make you ask
Hes not one to give gentle or soft tickles unless you ask for them
Prefers to wreck you
I can see him being a lee? But not for long
if you want to tickle him you have to catch him in a good mood
You’re getting got either way but he will be less mean
Barbatos
ohohoho
now this one is interesting :)
you see barbatos has an interesting little power that allows him to see and transport himself into different timelines
Which I think is very interesting hmmm yes
And through extensive talking with a certain someone I love to bully (you know who you are)
I think he would use this to his advantage
you see
He sees many outcomes of situations
One day when diavolo and you get in a tickle fight at the castle and he is quietly observing
he sees avenues of the future, many of which include you not telling him to stop, and one where you tell him that you don’t mind the tickles, you actually like them
this puts a smile on his face, the sweet human just got even sweeter
but he’ll keep this to himself for now
Until you two are alone, perhaps strolling through the gardens or having afternoon tea
he won’t talk to you about it, just teasingly poke you or run his tail up your spine while you’re sitting next to him
And when you finally tell him
“I already know, MC, no need to be embarrased”
also there is definitely some freaking dungeon in the castle, if ever you are in the mood for intense tks (but you won’t have to tell him, he’ll just know :3)
and so the rest of the devildom won’t hear you cackling
because barbatos loves to keep you all to himself, his precious little human <3
Diavolo
“Oh my god, you too?”
listen
he’s so touch starved okay
like
Everyone is always either intimidated, afraid, or think they aren’t on the same level as him
And he didn’t have the most caring childhood
his closest friends are barbatos and lucifer, and he practically has to force lucifer to call him by his first name
so when you come around? All smiles and hugs and affection
He can’t get enough
And one day you are having a sleepover and a tickle fight turns one sided and you aren’t fighting back
he’s just tickling your favorite spot with one hand and you’re dying and melting on the floor
and he lets up, but you don’t exactly want him to
and his heart breaks because you are just the cutest little thing in the universe and he’s so lucky you were the one that he picked for the exchange program and-
he gives you the biggest hug and gives you gentle tickles, right before you pinch his hips and get him back
and he loves it just as much as you do
Simeon
SWITCH CODED
OML
personally I see lee leaning switch
But he is a surprisingly good ler
Has had lots of practice with his brothers
and you cannot tell me
His little outfit
with his hips exposed
solomon and luke take advantage of that so much
also writing a fic ab him because he’s so CUTE
he is LITERALLY an angel his laugh is so pretty
when you get ler moods
and he sees that little look in your eye and your fingers twitch
he gets the dumbest grin on his face and bolts
he is so fun to tickle you cannot change my mind and he lets you do it because you love it so much
sorry brainrot ahem
as a ler he finds it absolutely adorable that you love being tickled
so teasy
but in the kindest way possible
sooooooooooo many compliments
“You’re doing so good! Can you handle it if I get youuuuuu here? What sweet sounds! You must be having so much fun, Angel!”
and also he gives you lots of cuddles and hugs after of course
