It was a nice day in the school SEKAI as per-usual, Miku and Luka standing by the window, talking about how good the girls have gotten, KAITO tuning his guitar, and Rin sitting in one of the desks with her head resting on the table.
“Did you hear how good they were while singing ‘Sympathy’??” Luka chimed with a fond smile.
“Yeah! Singing with them was so cool and refreshing and—“
The sound of a certain someone entering the SEKAI and Rin’s squeal of “Sakki—!” Interrupted Miku, and everybody (expect KAITO…) looked up from what they were doing to see their beloved pianist and Rin whispering and giggling to each other, before Rin blurted out:
“Sakki, Hona-Chan and Ichi-Chan are planning a—“
Saki quickly covered Rin’s mouth with her palm with a: “Shh! Rin-Chan, what if Shihoppy hears?!”, to which the two began giggling again, the others quietly staring at them.
Honami and Ichika suddenly both appeared behind Saki and a giggly Rin with a burst of the SEKAI’s vibrant yellow, pink and blue triangle-shaped particles around them.
“Good morning, everyone!” Ichika said with her usual bright tone, Honami following with an excited: “Did Saki tell you all what we’re gonna be doing to Shii soon?”
“Well, we were…” Luka said, crossing her arms over her chest with her usual smile.
“—So, what is it?” Miku asked, blue eyes sparkling with curiosity.
“We’re gonna tickle her!” Saki announced with a grin, earning a collective gasp from the group as Rin bounced in excitement, barely managing to keep her giggles silent.
“Yeah, but we were thinking, maybe we could be alone whilst doing that, you know?” Honami said, concern flickering briefly in her blue eyes.
“Yeah, Shiho did mention she gets uncomfortable being you know what-ed in a room full of people…” Len clarified, and Ichika added with a: “We thought maybe we could do it here —if you guys don’t mind filing out as soon as she comes— or the rooftop, since she’s comfortable there.”
“I’d say the rooftop,” Miku said, pushing herself off the wall to stride over to Ichika, before adding: “The rooftop’s empty, but the classroom here, well.. isn’t. It’ll allow her to have room to squirm as much as she likes.”
“Yeah, I think that’s a good idea…” Honami said, Saki nodding.
“Well, we better get going before she comes!”
And just like that, the three girls departed to the rooftop.
Soon, the three were sitting on the ground, waiting for their bassist to come.
5 minutes later, a familiar silhouette appeared in the distance, and Shiho walked over, confused.
“Hey, why are you all out here? Shouldn’t we be inside to practice with the other— a-ack! Hona—!!” Shiho was suddenly tackled to the ground by Honami, who was grinning as she straddled the bassist’s hips.
“What are you guys doing?!” Shiho squeaked when her arms were ripped above her head suddenly by Saki, who was discussing with Ichika how they were going to well… you-know-what Shiho — as if she wasn’t quite literally laying there listening fully!
“H-hey now— surely you aren’t gonna do all that to me, will you— a-ah!” Shiho shrieked when a scribble was delivered to her awfully ticklish neck.
“Awwh~ she’s ticklish here!” Saki cooed at her, fingers poised, curled and ready, waiting for a command to go on.
“No, I’m n-not!” Shiho denied, cheeks red, shoulders scrunching to prevent any more.. interventions.
“Oh, really~?” Honami drawled in that unbearably teasing, flustering voice.
Shiho grumbled, ears now reddening to match her cheeks.
“Yes, really! Now, get o-off me—“ Shiho was interrupted once more, this time by an embarrassing sound coming out of her own mouth, followed by barely contained giggles when Honami started wiggling two fingers into both her sides EACH. SO UNFAIR.
“Hehehe— Noho—! Honamihi—“ Shiho snickered, still trying to hold the giggles back, which wasn’t very successful.
“Awwh~! Shihoppy’s giggles are so cute!” Saki cooed, leaning down to blow teasingly in Shiho’s ear, whilst Ichika adjusted her grip on both of the shorter girl’s wrists to pin them down with a single hand, just to scratch at Shiho’s neck with one single fingertip, which still tickled unbearably to poor, flustered, adorable, giggly Shiho…
The soft tickles were driving her up the wall! (Or the floor, in that case..) she wasn’t AT ALL used to do this… curtesy to her always tickling instead of actually BEING tickled.
Guess what happened next?
Ichika switched to using ALL her fingers to skitter along the sides of her neck, whilst Saki moved to test how ticklish her legs (technically, her knees, from how much she was prodding there.) are.
“Awwh~ so ticklish everywhere, aren’t you, Shii~?” Honami cooed, ONCE AGAIN. “We should tickle you more, shouldn’t we?”
Shiho immediately shook her head at that, (Saki nodding enthusiastically from behind Honami at the same time) giggles still spilling from her lips as she scrunched her shoulders again, which only stuffed Ichika’s fingers in the crook of her neck and made it tickle more.
This went on for a few seconds before they all eventually stopped, with saki grumbling playfully about “how are her legs not ticklish at all?!”… little did she know, Shiho was hiding her reaction the whole time saki was prodding around her legs.
Ichika helped Shiho up from the rooftop floor, who was giggling (still) with her cheeks pink, arms wrapped tightly around her waist, and they dragged her along inside.. not with the occasional last few teases.
This is not proofread. I'd say I'm sorry, but I'm not. Have a ^-^ Honami as an apology.
My beloveds.
I don’t think either of them like tickle fights.
Overwhelming for Shiho in a sensory way and overwhelming for Honami in a “oh no what how am I supposed to act? Do they like it? Do I like it? I’m laughing but I’m supposed to be fighting back.” Just too much emotional input at the same time, poor girl.
So instead of a tickle “fight” they have little back and forths. One tickles the other without any resistance and when either one of them wants to flip roles, they’ll say “your turn” and immediately they’ll stop and readjust.
Shiho felt especially silly the first few times they did it and would wait for Honami to flip them. (It was definitely Honami’s idea in the first place) With time though, she came around to it and actually began to really love being able to have an easy way to get a break when the tickling got to be too much and to subtly-not-so-subtly be on the receiving end when she was ready again.
(I actually really love this idea. May or may not end up doing something more with it.)
Mean ler Shiho x Shy lee Hona and Soft ler Hona x Grumpy/Embarrassed lee Shiho. That is the whole dynamic here. End of post. Enough said.
I think it would take a while for Shiho to really warm up to “mean” territory. Saki instigated a lot of tickling when they were little but that was really the last time Shiho or Honami tried tickling each other until they were dating.
It’s not like either of them were uncomfortable with the idea of tickling each other. Quite the contrary actually, but Shiho never knew how to start it and Honami was always too scared of springing it on Shiho and embarrassing her.
It would have to be an accident the first time. I’m thinking along the lines of Honami affectionately stroking Shiho’s back and getting a liiiittle too close to her sides and thinking she’s squirming trying to get comfortable so Honami grabs her sides to help adjust. Shiho’s yelp out of nowhere makes the conversation kind of inevitable.
Shiho is tragically embarrassed with anything affection-wise to begin with. How could anyone expect the same girl who just about combusted the first time Honami held her hand to have a collected reaction to tickling?
Honami, however, is only a little flustered but that all but melts away the moment she sees just how bad Shiho has it. She’s a saint when it comes to getting her girlfriend to calm down. She’s very patient and likes to take everything very slow for her.
Starting with little strokes and pokes and ramping up to more laughter inducing tickles.
While sweet, this drives Shiho absolutely insane. It’s just so much build up, sometimes she’d rather Honami just throw her in the deep end.
To make it worse, Shiho doesn’t really have a “giggle stage.” She’s so ticklish it's either face scrunched and red or loud belly laughs. Very little room for inbetween.
I imagine she has a really high pitched and squeaky tickle laugh. Almost like a continuous voice crack. Honami finds it adorable, of course, and actually gets a little sad when Shiho tries to hide it.
Shiho isn’t much of a squirmer but MAN is she a kicker. To the point either pinning or dodging her is almost a necessity. Apologizes profusely if she ever kicks Honami (and only Honami. Anyone else tickling her deserved it)
Honami loves loves loves getting to kiss Shiho’s stomach.
She always has the best reactions to it too. Jerking her head back and forth and going all red. Sucking in her tummy like that’s going to protect it.
Not even because it tickles all that much (comparatively) but just because the action of her girlfriend having her in such a vulnerable position, flat on her back and kissing her stomach is just so silly and makes her feel so small and cared for is IMMENSELY flustering.
Honami’s sweetness just really gets to her on a psychological level.
Another pairing that is sweet ler x asshole ler
When Shiho gets going on the tickling, she GETS going. The problem is just getting her to that point.
When she’s sure of herself and Honami is clearly VERY happy and eager, Shiho holds nothing back. Full on side splitting laughing and nonstop teases for the lee.
“Aw, going to squirm Hona? That’s so cute watching how helpless and ticklish you are. You wouldn’t stop me even if you could and we both know it.” Type of beat.
Honami likes it far more than she’d like to admit. Shiho just has this tone that even in a completely normal, non tickling context can get her lee.
Honami loves being in a lee mood almost more than any other feeling in the world. It feels so warm and all encompassing.
She can’t think about anything but tickles really. It doesn’t happen often but when it does, it goes all the way.
She used to feel guilty about expressing it to Shiho just how *bad* it is but after many, many, reminders, she finally got it into her brain that her girlfriend finds it absolutely precious.
Shiho can be soft, especially when she knows it’s Honami’s favorite, she just gets impossibly even more shy at it.
Doesn’t tease much when Honami just needs some smiles and relaxation.
Very soft tracing, almost as if she’s scared too much will break her.
Shiho will almost never go for her unprovoked. And is unfortunately absolute garbage at being able to tell when she’s being provoked.
But all Honami has to do is look at her with her blush and shy little smile asking for it and Shiho is all over her.
When Shizuku would be clingy/force her sister into a hug as kids, Shiho learned that tasing her sides got her to jump back long enough to push away and developed the unfortunate habit of delivering that treatment to anyone who hugs her out of nowhere. Honami’s sides aren’t bad enough to have that strong of an effect consistently but typically gets her giggly enough to get Shiho in a playful ler mood just watching her. She retaliates from the hug attack with a full strength tickle attack.
Honami wandered around the Yoisaki household, stopping right in front of Kanade's door. She leaned in to take a listen, all that could be heard were the 'clickity clacks' of Kanade's keyboard, pressumably working on her new song.
Honami slowly turned the doorknob and just as she expected, there was her lover working tiredlessly on her song. Honami always admired her hard work and dedication, but she was also aware on how little Kanade took care of herself. It made her sad seeing her girlfriend neglect her health.
"Kanade..." Honami softly whispered as he approached the white haired girl.
Kanade put a stop to what she was doing, turning around to face her "Did you need something?".
"Y-you've just been working hard all day, I thought you could use a break...".
Kanade pondered for a moment, looking between her lover and her song. "In a bit okay?".
Honami gave a slight pout as Kanade turned back around to keep working on her song. "It wasn't up for debate".
The change of tone in her voice sent a chill down Kanade's spine, but before she could turn around, Honami had trapped her in her own chair by wrapping her in a tight hug.
"H-Honami...?!" Kanade's cheeks turned a soft pink color as she slightly squirmed in the brunnette's embrace.
"Yes?" Honami looked at her with an innocent smile.
Suddenly, Kanade let out a high-pitched squeak as she felt Honami's hands wander along her torso "W-wait! Not the ti- Not thahat!".
"Hehe, can't say the word tickle?~" Honami's soft giggle against Kanade's ear made her feel even more flustered. The brunnette kept up her soft ticklish assault, unzipping Kanade's jumpsuit to get better access to her tummy.
"Ah—!" Kanade let out a loud yelp as she then dissolved into soft laughter, wiggling around in Honami's hug. "Ahahaha! Q-quit ihihit!".
"Not until you promise to relax" Honami would then lightly scratch at her sides, making Kanade kick her legs out all comically.
"Gahaha! O-okahahay! You wihihin!" she tittered out through breathless laughter, it was barely audible, but her reactions spoke for her.
At that, Honami slowed her fingers to a stop. She then turned Kanade around, placing a gentle kiss on her forehead. "I'll go make us some tea then" she walked out of the room with a gentle smile, leaving Kanade a blushing, panting mess in her chair.
It's exactly what it says on the tin, folks; A collection of fluffy tickle headcanons all centered around my personal favorite favorite apple pie enthusiast. Enjoy.
She'd definitely be a switch, with a very slight lee lean.
To her, tickling is in an INCREDIBLY vulnerable and personal (but not inherently romantic) thing, so she'd have to be super comfortable with anyone she's doing it with
As a ler, she's an absolute SWEETHEART
She most often tickles the rest of L/n and sometimes her little brother, but will also go for Kanade if she asks, or Emu if she's clearly trying to initiate it.
She would constantly be checking in on the lee and asking to make sure they're still having fun.
Is very gentle and caring, especially with teasing. Her teasing is less intentional teasing, and more so genuine complements and affirmations that can't help fill her head at the moment.
Kind of to the tune of "Goodness honey, your laugh is so pretty. You're doing so well. Keep laughing, just like that for me. Thank you so much for trusting me so much"
Her tickles are just as soft and sweet too.
Unlike her guitarist bandmates, as a drummer, her nails are allowed to get a little long. I like to think she generally keeps them flush with her fingertips, which makes them perfect for scribbling.
Scribbles and kisses are her two favorite methods to use, though she gets a little shy about the second one. She'd have to be really close with the lee to initiate any kind of mouth tickles.
Very very much loves cuddling with lees. Her ideal situation would be spooning up close with them and scribbling and tracing their belly and whispering into their ear about how cute they are.
For this reason: she gives the BEST relaxation/sleepytime tickles.
She doesn’t really actively want or initiate tickle fights. She'll participate if dragged asked, but really she loves giving her entire attention to her lee/receiving a ler's entire attention. She can get overwhelmed pretty easily if she has to focus on both.
Also doesn't really surprise others with tickles. She worries a lot about if the lee really wants it, so she will ALWAYS ask.
It's sweet that she cares, but it gets embarrassing to have to tell her "Yes I would really like to be tickled right now." Every. Single. Time.
This especially bothers Shiho, which Honami finds adorable.
In a bad ler mood, she flusters HERSELF trying to ask for permission.
Saki gets incredibly cocky teasing her because of it; crop tops, feet across Honami's lap, stretching, the whole nine yards until Honami finally breaks and asks because even if blatantly provoked, she refuses without explicit verbal permission.
Flustered ler Honami can be dangerous. All that built up need to make someone laugh tends to come out as swift, unrelenting scribbling.
Her favorite form of aftercare is cuddling her lees and, if available, giving them homemade food and a cold glass of water, no matter if they're completely out of it, or just a little giggly.
At the end of the day, ultimately she's happy with whatever makes the lee happy.
She lives for being able to make the people she loves smile and wind down, it makes her feel so fuzzy and accomplished.
Lee Honami is just as sweet though
Just like the way she gives, she has a major preference for receiving very gentle tickles; doesn't really like being made to laugh to the point of screaming or making it strenuous to talk.
Her most ticklish spot would have to be her feet or her thighs.
As alluded to earlier, she can't handle much on either spot, even one or two fingers can have her brain completely shot.
I also think she's a little chubby and more than a little insecure about it. The obvious solution is cheer up tummy tickles
Cheeks are surprisingly sensitive
Kisses there get her BAD, much to the delight of any romantic partner(s)
If her hair isn't tied out of the way, it can brush up against her cheeks, making her all giggly and smiley for "no reason"
She'd never admit it but she will sometimes leave her hair untied for expressly that purpose.
She's just very ticklish in general.
Doesn't squirm at all when tickled. Her whole body relaxes and she really just sits back and lets herself enjoy it.
She'll kick a little if you get her really bad, but it's more of a result of having too much bubbly energy rather than trying to fight/get away.
If she trusts someone enough to let them tickle her, she knows she won't be pushed past any limits she doesn't want to, so why not let loose?
That does not, however, mean she has an easy time asking for it when she wants it. She's far from Shiho's level of "bad at asking" but it definitely takes some time and coaxing.
Any kind of teasing involving anything like "the tickle monster is gonna get youuu~" makes her absolutely lose her mind in the best way possible. She both loves and is terrified of the tickle monster.
The idea of a being whose sole purpose is to make her lose herself in laughter is so so so flustering to her.
When they were little, Tsukasa used to chase all of Leo/need around the house while making growling monster noises and wiggling his fingers, and Honami would try to hide behind curtains or the couch, but her anticipation giggles would give her away every single time.
Other than Saki herself of course, Honami is secretly his favorite one of his sister's friends, in no small part due to that memory.
Her chin and jaw are probably her favorite spots.
Hold her face and gently tickle and she MELTS.
When she's all happy and melty, she gets very honest and has a very hard time holding back, meaning any thought that goes into her head comes right out her mouth. People who know her well have learned to expect a steady stream of complements and about a thousand "I love you"'s
She is predominantly tickled by Saki, Ichika, and Emu. Shiho gets shy about it, but will if directly asked (by either Honami herself or another L/n member helping out)
Tickling is a good way for the ones she loves to comfort, reassure her, and get her out of her own head and she loves everything about being so helpless and cared for.

I would die for Honami Mochizuki.
Another one coming out of the vault of my Google Drive for a birthday! This I wanna say has been there since April?
Watch as I project my lee mood onto Shiho. Will she get tickled? Well, you'll just have to read and find out (spoiler alert: she does). I hope Honami isn't too out of character but you know, it happens, especially given the HUGE writer's block I got hit with in the middle of this.
----
"Hey, Shiho?" Ichika called from across the room, guitar in hand and sheet music propped on the stand in front of her. "Are you busy? Could you please come help me with something? I'm a bit stuck on this part here."
"Yeah, sure thing." Shiho responded, moving towards her girlfriend to look at the problem. "I'm not in the middle of anything really."
"Is the music alright, Ichi?" Saki piped up from her spot on the floor where she was previously diligently humming some new melody and writing it down as she went "I can simplify it if it's too hard!"
The four girlfriends were lounging around in Saki’s room for an odd sort of impromptu band practice/hang out session. Ichika was practicing her guitar, Saki was working on a new song, Honami doing homework at Saki’s desk, and Shiho was.. bouncing between several activities in an effort to keep herself busy and distracted.
“No it’s not that, Saki. The music’s great,” Ichika responded. “I’m just having trouble switching between these two chords. It’s an issue with my playing, not the music. I’m hoping Shiho can help me find a way around it.”
Shiho stood at Ichika’s side, looking over her shoulder for the problem. “Oh yeah. That’s a common mistake and an easy fix. If you adjust your hands like this-“ Shiho took Ichika’s hand in her own and individually placed her fingers on the right frets, causing Ichika to flush slightly at the unexpected contact, “And keep your second finger grounded here, it’s an easy switch to move your third and fourth fingers like this-“ Shiho, again moved Ichika’s fingers to the corresponding places. “That better?” She asked, retracting her hand.
Ichika briefly played the measures with a smile on her face. “Yeah! That actually helps a lot. Thank you!”
Shiho flashed a small smile back “Anytime.”
Shiho sighed and glanced around idly, looking for something else that needed done to take her mind off of the current…situation, before finally settling her eyes on her girlfriend on the floor.
“Oh, Saki. Your pigtail seems a bit crooked.” Shiho sat next to the blonde girl. “May I fix it real quick?”
“Aw, of course! I was in a bit of a hurry this morning so I may have been a little careless with my hair, hehe- is it that obvious?” Saki giggled.
“No, no it's not bad, just a bit out of line.” Shiho made quick work undoing the band holding the offending pigtail in place, running her hands through her girlfriend’s soft hair, readjusting, and putting the band back in. “There.”
“Thanks, Shiho! That was really nice of you!” Saki leaned over to plant a soft kiss on Shiho’s cheek, holding onto the bassist's side to steady herself at the odd angle.
Shiho tensed up at the touch, trying her hardest to hold back a giddy smile. Saki was just being so sweet and the slightly ticklish touch on her side was driving her crazy. “Yeah, yeah, no problem.” She looked to the side to hide her pink face and the beginnings of a grin.
Shiho was, as much as she tried to bury it down, in a certain kind of embarrassing mood. She wanted nothing more than for Saki to move from leaning on her side to squeezing it and scribbling all ov- No. She couldn't think like that. That would only make things worse. Because there is no way in the world she would ever actually ask, she wasn’t going to get what she wanted so there was no point in letting herself want it in the first place.
She was pulled out of her thoughts by Saki’s voice right next to her. “Hey, Ichi, can you help me grab some snacks from the kitchen? I’m getting a bit hungry.” She quickly added, addressing the other two, “We’ll bring some for you girls too!”
“Yeah, of course. Let’s go.” Ichika carefully pulled her guitar over her head and placed it on its stand. Saki took her hand and half led, half dragged her out of the room in excitement, leaving Shiho and Honami to their own devices.
Only a minute of silence had passed when one of them spoke up.
“Shiho? Is everything alright? You’ve been acting differently all day but I wanted to wait until we were alone to ask.” Honami seemed concerned and Shiho felt a rather unpleasant pang in her chest.
She had two options here. A: tell Honami what’s actually bothering her (absolutely not) or B: let her girlfriend continue worrying herself sick. She was at an unfortunate standstill with no viable way out. She could feel herself getting atypically nervous at the checkmate Honami didn’t even know she’d put her in.
Well option C was always there: Dodge the question. “I have?” She pretended to look confused as if to say No, Honami. I actually haven't noticed the fact that I’ve only been able to think about being tickled senseless all day.
Honami took a second to think about how to respond, trying to draw to mind specific examples. She was basing her concern more on a general difference in Shiho’s atmosphere rather than concrete observations. “Well you've been kind of tense and antsy-” she trailed off, continuing to collect her thoughts. “And you haven't been able to focus on anything beyond small tasks-” She got up from the desk and sat next to Shiho on the floor. She hovered her hand over Shiho's, a silent offer to which the latter accepted with a nod as Honami took her hand in her own.
How in the world was her girlfriend so perceptive? Shiho loved that about her. She always noticed and cared about everyone so much. Even while distracted with schoolwork, she could notice the little things about her. But in times like this, Shiho found herself slightly resenting this quality. She was nothing more than an open book for Honami to read at will.
“And you've been touchy with all of us. That's not like you. You’d usually just explain where Ichika would need to put her hands, or just tell Saki that her hair needed to be fixed. It's almost as if you've been looking for excuses for contact with us.”
Honami was way closer to the truth than she would ever know and Shiho couldn't decide whether or not that information made her want to bury her face in a pillow and never come out.
“And you nearly jumped about a foot in the air when Saki touched your side like this” She mimicked the touch again, taking immediate notice of her girlfriend’s reaction: a loud, high pitched squeak. “Are you okay? Are you hurt?”
At this point, Shiho was embarrassed beyond words and could only muster a red faced shake of her head and a muttered “N-no.” to ease her girlfriend's worry.
“If it doesn't hurt then wh-”
Oh
Oh
The touchiness, the tension, the lack of focus, and finally the flustered pile of girlfriend in front of her. It all made sense now. Honami smiled fondly. Shiho, always blunt and direct with her words and usually only begrudgingly putting up with the others’ physical affection, was all shy and blushy over wanting a few tickles. “Shiho?”
The girl in question looked Honami in the eyes and then quickly back at the floor, showing she was listening.
“Would you like me to tickle you?” Honami asked gently.
Shiho, impossibly, blushed even darker at the caring tone and the fact that her ruse had been revealed. “I- uh- um-”
Honami knew she had hit the nail right on the head at Shiho’s reaction to the question. As much as she liked to deny her sister's claims about it, Shiho really was adorable. Honami wasn't used to seeing her so nervous, however, and wanted to do something to help. “It's okay. You don't need to be so embarrassed. Take your time.” She squeezed the hand she was holding reassuringly.
Honami’s words were comforting but the fact that she cared that much about her made everything so much more flustering. Shiho, after a while of stammering, was finally able to force out a quiet, “Yes please.”
“Well then, I’d be happy to.” Honami said with a smile. “Come here.” She said, motioning to her lap.
Shiho climbed into her quickly, facing away from her girlfriend not only so she didn't have to look her in the eyes but also to hide her blushing face.
Honami wrapped her arms around the bassist and leaned to whisper reassuringly in her ear “I'll be gentle, okay?” A redundant statement, Shiho barely had the time and clear head to think. Honami was always gentle. “I'm going to start with your sides.”
Shiho giggled in anticipation but quickly covered her mouth with her hand. Her giggles only grew more intense as she felt gentle, loving fingers dancing across her side and more still when she heard cooing next to her ear.
“Your giggles are so sweet, honey, it would be nice if you'd let me hear them better. They seem to be a bit muffled.” Homani teased, mixing small pokes and ticklish pinches in with her scribbles.
Shiho only grew more giddy and shook her head at the words.
“No? They’re not sweet?” Honami moved her ticklish attack to target the tummy of the girl in front of her. “I don’t think that’s correct.”
“Nohoho! Nahahat what I meant!” Shiho finally spoke as she squirmed backwards, braced her hands on the floor, and leaned her back to Honami’s front, putting her full weight onto her and losing herself in giggles.
“Then what did you mean?”
“I- heheh! I- um, I dohohon’t knowhow!” Shiho was having trouble thinking past the ticklish touch, the most obvious result of which seemed to be her difficulty holding a conversation. Honestly, she couldn’t recall what had even prompted the question in the first place.
“You're so cute.” Honami whispered sweetly. She was well acquainted with the effect tickling had on Shiho, and was absolutely love-struck with it. “Your smile really suits you, you know.”
Shiho hoped she didn't notice the squeal she made at the feeling of Honami’s warm breath over her ear. Her hopes were soon demolished as she heard a giggle from behind her.
“Wait. Do you have ticklish ears?” Honami allowed herself an experimental puff of air across the aforementioned spot. To her delight, she received a loud and uncontrolled squeak in return. “How did none of us notice?”
“Hehehe! Sahaki actually fohound out lihike a yehear ago- I thought shehe wohould have tohold you by nohohow.”
“Oh well, I guess there’s no beating our tickle monster of a girlfriend.” Honami smiled at the fond feeling in her chest that blossomed at both the thought of Saki and the adorable, smiling Shiho in her lap. “I hope I’m at least getting close though.” Shiho’s reactions made the fond feeling turn warm and loving. She was doing a good job and Shiho’s giggly babbling only reminded her of it. It made her feel content and confident. So confident in fact, Honami placed a playful nibble to the lobe of Shiho’s ear.
If Shiho had thought the giggling was embarrassing, it had nothing on the squeal that could have shattered glass that left her lips at that moment. “EEEEE! Plehehase, Hohonami!” She shook her head back and forth, not truly trying to escape.
“Please what, dear? I just want to make sure you’re comfortable.” Out of sight from her girlfriend, she gave a soft smile. “Please more tickles or please less tickles?”
Shiho’s brain, fuzzy with tickles, didn’t even process the answer leaving her mouth. An answer that under normal circumstances, she wouldn’t be caught dead saying. Now though, weakened and carefree, pure unfiltered honesty flooded through her. “Plehease more tihickles!’ Her mind briskly caught up though and following it, a mortified expression took over her face. Her hands jumped back to her mouth to prevent it from betraying her inner desires once more.
“Hehe- More tickles for you, then. You really love this, don't you?” Honami punctuated her sentence with another nibble to her girlfriend's ear.
She didn’t get a verbal response but the only slightly muffled squeals she heard in return were more than enough of an affirmative. She continued to give light nibbles back and forth between ears as she added small pokes and prods to her ribs.
Shiho jerked back and forth, trapped in her ticklish ecstasy. A poke to the left was met with a movement to the right, where another playful hand was waiting for her in a cycle completely out of her control. Honami was always so loving and delicate with her and she couldn't find it in her to even pretend to complain. She was right when she said that she loved it. She felt fingers poking between each and every one of her ribs, occasionally interrupted by quick scribble to the bones. Each poke, touch, and tickle made her feel all the more ticklish, all the more vulnerable, and most importantly, all the more happy and loved. Other than the tickles, the only thought in her head was how lucky she was to have her girlfriend. These situations tended to bring out the soft, silly side of her that only three special individuals got the honor of seeing so freely.
Eventually, her face grew too hot and the laughter too much. She was about to tell Honami to stop when the nibbles turned to kisses and the pokes to firm rubs. She didn't get the opportunity to tell Honami that she was all done because she already knew without a single word spoken. Weak and tired, she couldn't help but lean into the comforting touch. Moments like these, Shiho being so relaxed and worn out, were rare. She didn’t usually let other people take care of her like this, and having the privilege of being not only able to see it, but also being the one to cause it, only made Honami fall a thousand times more in love with the silver haired girl curled up in her lap.
“Hey Shiho, can you turn towards me please?” Honami asked quietly. “I want to rub your back if that's alright.”
Shiho let out a happy hum and did as the drummer requested, wrapping her arms tightly around her for support as Honami began to firmly stroke her back up and down and rock the two of them back and forth. Shiho felt her eyelids grow heavy and was soon fast asleep in her girlfriend’s embrace. They could have stayed there forever, both feeling like the happiest girl in the world at that moment. She kissed her cheek and murmured a delicate “I love you” into her ear, and in Honami’s opinion, truer words had never been spoken.
To Honami or Shiho, it could have been minutes, hours, or even days before Ichika and Saki re-entered the room, a bowl of popcorn, four water bottles, and a plate of freshly peeled orange slices in hand.
“We’re baaack!” Saki called, but was quickly silenced by one look at Honami, finger pressed to her lips with an expression of pure enamorment adorning her features. The expression was quickly mirrored by the other two as they all took a moment to adore their sleeping girlfriend.
Saki set the food down on her nightstand and Ichika stepped forward to place a kiss on top of the bassist's head, “I thought we could hear laughter coming from up here. You two have fun?” She whispered, careful not to disturb Shiho’s rest. She already knew the answer of course but enjoyed seeing Honami’s nod of approval nonetheless.
Saki quickly sat down to join the cuddly pair, holding both of them from the side, and motioning Ichika to do the same on their opposite.
Shiho wouldn’t wake up from her well deserved slumber for a while, but when she did, her girlfriends knew she’d be surrounded with nothing but the warm affection they were more than happy to give her.

Anyone who was slightly familiar with Saki Tenma knew just how playful and chaotic she could be. Especially her girlfriends, who constantly endured all of the blonde's shenanigans. Saki constantly messed with them and as much as they all liked her playful side, they felt a bit frustrated that they couldn't get back at her in some way.
One day, the girlfriends were hanging out at the Tenma household. They were all cuddled up on the couch, the topic of discussion being Saki herself.
"Saki...do you have any weaknesses?" asked Honami with her typical gentle tone.
"Hehe wouldn't you like to know~ But seriously, why do you ask?".
"You constantly mess with us, always pulling off some sort of prank on us. And we've wanted to get back at you but you're always so hard to catch off guard..." interjected Ichika, a soft pout adorning her lips as she finished her statement.
"Aww isn't that adorable~" Saki teased as she playfully pinched her cheek.
"S-stop it..!" Ichika gently swatted her hand away, a soft blush covering her cheeks.
"Sorry to inform but I don't have any weaknesses~" she said cockily as she folded her arms behind her head. The other three sighed in defeat, there had to be something they could do...right?
While they were all sulking (except Saki), Tsukasa happened to pass by them, stopping in his track "Hm? Why the long faces??".
"Saki is being teasy again..." Ichika huffed as she crossed her arms, earning a giggle from Saki. Tsukasa smiled in endearment at the scene.
Before he could make his way out, Shiho spoke up "Actually Tsukasa, can we ask you something?".
"Sure".
"Do you know if Saki has any weaknesses?".
Tsukasa perked an eyebrow at the question.
"It's just that...she's always messing with us! And we don't know how to get back at her..." spoke up Honami in a slightly flustered tone.
"Ohh I see hehe, let me think..." he got lost in thought, trying to come up with an answer for the girls.
"See? Even Tsukasa doesn't know of any weakness-" Saki was suddenly interrupted by her brother, who had remembered something particular about his sister.
"Actually...there is one weakness I can think of".
"What..." Saki's cocky expression quickly faded away as she was met with her brother's teasy smirk.
"Please tell us!" the other three yelled in unison.
"Haha okay! Saki happens to be very ticklish-" before he could finish his statement, Saki had sprung up from her seat to cover up his mouth.
"Nothing! He said nothing!" she tried to defend herself, but her flushed cheeks quickly gave her away.
"Was he about to say that you're ticklish?" asked Ichika with her own teasy smirk starting to form.
"Whaaaat? Pfft no! He didn't say thaHAHAT!" suddenly the blonde squeaked and jumped 10ft in the air when she felt a squeeze to her sides, curtesy of her brother.
"Y'know, it's pretty rude to interrupt someone while they're talking~" he playfully wiggled his fingers at her.
"D-don't you dare!" she tried to sound threatening but she could already feel giggles starting to bubble up in her chest.
Without saying anything, Tsukasa playfully pinned her down on the ground (keeping it gentle ofc), keeping her arms above her head "Hehe gotcha~".
"L-let me go you jerk!" Saki spat out as she struggled in his grasp, but she had to admit, she was feeling very giddy at the moment.
Tsukasa mocked gasped "How dare you insult your own brother!".
The girls watched in endearment the playful scene between the siblings, until Tsukasa called out to them "Hey! This is your chance to get some sweet revenge~".
The girls quickly got up from their seats, already feeling all excited. They all had the goofiest smiles plastered on their faces it's so cute! Shiho sat down by Saki's feet, Honami straddled her waist (being careful not to hurt her), and Ichika took Tsukasa's place pinning her arms up.
"G-girls we can tahalk about thihis!".
"Aww, she's already giggling and we haven't even started~" Honami couldn't help but tease her, enjoying how the blonde's face quickly turned red.
"She must be very ticklish then" teased Shiho as she slipped off her girlfriend's shoes.
"Get ready~" was the only warning Ichika gave her as she softly scribbled at her armpits. Honami gently tickled up and down her sides while Shiho playfully scribbled her nails over her socked soles.
"PFFT! AHAHAHAHAHA! NOHOHO!" Saki squealed and bucked so hard Honami almost fell off, but that didn't stop her ticklish torment.
"Wow Tsukasa was right, she's very ticklish" Shiho spoke nonchalantly through Saki's boisterous laughter.
"Hehe yeah, I wonder where else she's ticklish".
"STAHAP TALKING AS IF I'M NAHAT HEHEHERE!" squeaked out the ticklish blonde through all her laughter.
"Oops sorry" Honami 'apologized' as she started to poke and prod at her ribs. She noticed how Saki's laughter died down a bit, maybe she wasn't so ticklish there?
"Are her ribs not as ticklish, Tsukasa?" Honami halted her fingers for a moment as she looked over at Tsukasa, who had been watching the scene in ammusement from the sidelines.
"Of course they are! But if you wanna get her to really laugh you have to tickle like this" Tsukasa took a seat next to them and gently dug his fingers in between the ticklish bones, making Saki's laugh raise in octave.
"GYAA! TSUKASA DOHOAHAHAN'T!".
"Ooh I see, thanks!" Honami then mimicked the same technique Tsukasa did on her ribs, earning the same response.
"Hmm...are you tiiicklish here? Or maybe here~?!" asked Ichika in a teasy tone as she alternated between her neck and ears.
"OH YOU SHUHUHUSH!" Saki shook her head around as Ichika giggled along with her.
"Hey Tsukasa, any good spots down here?" asked Shiho in her usual stoic expression, but her girlfriends could see the slightest twitch at the corner of her mouth.
"Oh yeah, her toes are pretty bad. And so are her knees~" he teased as he gave her kneecaps a light squeeze.
Saki's legs wildly kicked out, almost hitting them both. "STAHAP THAHAHAT!".
Shiho wrapped her ankled around her arm, and with her free hand she went to town on her toes. While Tsukasa remained tickling her knees.
"PFFT! AHAHAHAHA! SHIHO DOHOHON'T!" Saki squealed and tried curling up her toes, but they were so ticklish it didn't serve as much protection.
"You're lucky I don't pull these socks off" said Shiho in a slightly teasy tone as she kept tickling her toes.
"I HAHAHATE ALL OF YOHOHOU!" Saki managed to say through her hystetical laughter.
Her girlfriends quickly cooed at her in unison "Aww, we love you too!" causing poor Saki to let out ticklish squeals.
After a bit more tickling, they all slowed down to a stop as to not wanting to take it too far. Saki instantly slumped, taking in deep breaths. Her face was fully flushed, her eyes were all sparkly with tears, and her smile was so big and pure. The girlfriends could feel themselves falling in love even deeper with their favorite blonde troublemaker.
"Are you doing okay?" Honami was the first to speak up, she was always the more concerned one of the group.
"Y-yeheheah..." Saki spoke through leftover giggles.
"I'll go get you some water" Tsukasa stepped out into the kitched, giving the girls a moment alone.
"So...are you all done taking your revenge?".
"Are you kidding? This is just the beginning~" said Shiho with a sly smirk. Saki instantly blushed at the statement.
"We still have to find all your other tickle spots after all~" teased Honami as she playfully poked her tummy, eliciting a squeak.
"But for now we'll just stick to cuddles. I'm sure you must be tired" said Ichika as she and the others dragged Saki back into the couch, the four of them cuddling up closely to each other.
When Tsukasa came back with the drink in hand, he stopped in awe as he observed the four girlfriends passed out asleep on the couch. While wrapped around each other closely. He was glad Saki was surrounded by people who loved her dearly.

The idea of Tsukasa telling the girls exactly how to tickle/tease Saki is so funny and cute to me lolol

It was after school, the girls were making their way over to a small shop nearby to buy some apple pies to celebrate Emu's birthday.
"I'll have a million apple pies!" cheered out Emu with her usual happy expresion.
"A-a million?! I'm sorry but we just sold the last one" said the shopkeeper.
"Oh..." Emu's happyness quickly got sucked away by the sadenning news, she had been looking forward to sharing that special treat with her girlfriend. Honami apologized to the worker and grabbed Emu's hand, continuing on their walk back home.
"C'mon Emu, cheer up. We can buy apple pies some other time" Honami tried to cheer her up but Emu could only muster up a sad smile. "Emu... give me a real smile~" she playfully teased as she gently ran her nails up and down her girlfriend's sides.
"WAH! H-Honamihihi!" Emu instantly dissolved into bubbly giggles as she tried curling up on herself.
"Yeah that's my name~" Honami giggled as she wrapped the shorter one in a hug, moving her hands to her tummy, gently pinching at the soft flesh.
"EEK! Ahahahaha! T-thahat tihihickles!" Emu squirmed in her grasp while clutching her tummy. Her smile looked much brighter and more genuine now. Honami slowed her fingers down to a stop, giving Emu a soft kiss at the top of her head.
"Feeling better?" she looked down at her with a soft, gentle smile.
"Hehe yeah!" Emu practically yelled out as she playfully dragged Honami back home. "Let's make our own apple pie!". It might be fun, Honami thought. Hopefully the kitchen doesn't burn down.
