Edmond Gets Got Drabble + Headcanons
Edmond was fun to mess with.
Eiden couldn't help but grin as he cornered the knight against a wall in the mansion, already noticing the pretty blush spreading across those pale cheeks. "Already?" He giggled, watching it grow in intensity, "I've not even said anything yet."
He watched Edmond flounder for a moment, hearing a 'scoundrel' or two gritted out through his teeth, before speaking again. "Don't worry, don't worry, I'm not doing that this time."
If he read too deep into it, he'd almost think Edmond was disappointed, but he didn't give the blue-haired man any time to speak. He dug his fingers into Edmond's sides, feeling hard muscle tense beneath his fingers and quiver. "D-don't!" Edmond's gritted teeth barely let the word pass through his mouth, too busy fighting the urge to burst out laughing.
"Why not?" Eiden whined, ignoring Edmond's attempts to push his hands away and starting to tickle his ribs instead. "I never get to see you laugh! I love your cute little smile but I want to see you properly smiling and laughing! It's necessary! Soul food! Heart fuel! Where was I going with this..."
It didn't matter anyway. As soon as Eiden's hands dropped to Edmond's hips, the man froze beneath him. He hadn't even started doing anything yet.
"Oh." Eiden muttered, before grinning wickedly.
"No!" Edmond tried to push Eiden's hands away, but Eiden was too quick for him.
"Yes!" He yelled, digging into his hipbones, and Edmond lost it. Squealing laughter erupted out of him, the man doubling over from the force of it and slapping at whatever part of Eiden he could in a weak attempt at fighting.
"STOP!" He begged between breaths, "Mercy, please!"
"Oh hell no!" Eiden cackled above him, "Now I know how to make you give me a break in sword practice!"
Edmond squeaked - actually squeaked - when Eiden moved to squeeze his thighs, and they froze for a second. The knight had one hand clasped to his mouth, as if in horror that he'd actually made that noise, while Eiden's face was slowly grinning in realisation.
"No way!" He began tickling Edmond's thighs with more enthusiasm, causing the man to fall to the floor in an attempt to escape. "That was the cutest shit I ever heard! Again, again!"
Edmond tried to reach for his blade - whether to whack Eiden across the ass or to actually kill the man he didn't know - but a sneaky hand working it's way into his armpit caused him to shriek and slam his arms down.
Yeah, he wasn't getting away from this that easily.
🩵 Oh Edmond. My angel. My boy. My precious. I love him. Therefore I must conclude that he is horrendously ticklish and he is incredibly embarrassed by that fact.
🩵 Oh also he's 100% a lee. Even the mention of the dreaded t-word gets him flustered, so actually doing it to someone else? Out of the question.
🩵 Weakest spots are his tummy and thighs, with a bonus point for his ears because they're not too sensitive but it triggers a really pretty blush that spreads all the way from there to his nose to his collarbones it's AMAZING
🩵 Doesn't fight, his senses are too overloaded for that. He merely collapses to the ground. That's his defence mechanism.
🩵 You can pry the headcanon of Edmond having a squeaky squealy laugh out of my cold dead hands it is in such contrast to his stoic knight demeanor that it instantly makes him 1000x cuter
🩵 You'd kill him by doing it, but if you could get him to ask for tickles, you'd be rewarded with a red-faced Edmond very quietly asking for you to tickle him and it's adorable. And kind of sad...
🩵 You can't just stop tickles abruptly with Edmond because he expects to be attacked again. You have to wind them down, until eventually the pads of your fingers are just gently stroking his skin, and then you must cuddle him until he kicks you out of the room because otherwise he's too on edge and he'll be jumpy and that's just no fun.
🩵 Please tickle hug him. Not in public and definitely not if you don't know him, but when you're close to him and he's stressed or sad just pull him into a hug and lightly tickle him and it helps him relax.
