This is a fluff/tickle fic for Wind Breaker. If either of those aren't your thing, may your journey continue onward! If you're here for them, welcome and I hope you enjoy!

“Is that even an actual thing?”

“How did it even get up there?”

Sakura, Suo and Nirei could hear the confusion before they saw the source. When they rounded the corner they found fellow Furin students gawking at a large, bright green banner with Happy Brother’s Day! hanging across the front of the school. 

Sakura squinted at the fabric. “What’s Brother’s Day?” 

“Umm…I’m not entirely sure,” Nirei frowned, pulling out his phone as they walked. “Let me check.”

“Umemiya-san has referred to the town as his family before,” Suo smiled. “Maybe that’s what he means?”

“Maybe!” Nirei nodded. “Apparently it’s an international holiday celebrated on May 24th. This says the holiday apparently started in America and is a day to cherish and celebrate brothers, wether biological or not.” 

The thought of acknowledging someone as his brother made Sakura’s face warm.

Suo tilted his head in thought. “I don’t recall any events being planned.” 

“And I didn’t get any messages about it this morning,” Nirei added, scrolling through his contacts. “Maybe we’ll find out inside?”

“TODAY IS A SPECIAL DAY!” 

The members of Bofurin cried out, clapping their hands over their ears and jumping in alarm as Umemiya’s voice blared out of the loud speaker. 

“For fuck’s sake!” Hiragi shouted in the background. “Stop yelling into the mic!”

“Sorry! I got too excited!” Umemiya laughed. 

Sakura glared up from where he’d caught himself after Ume’s yelling had caused him to miss his chair. His face flushed at his classmates’ concerned looks as everyone righted themselves.  

“But today is a special day,” Umemiya said. “Today is a day where we appreciate the brothers in our lives. I consider this town my home and everyone in it members of my family. By extension, I consider all of you my brothers!” 

A blush framed Sakura’s face at the notion.

“Brothers are the ones we can count on and the ones we’re always there for,” Umemiya continued. “They are our friends, loved ones and family, and I feel truly in my heart that if you take a second to look around, you will find brothers in each other as well!”

Sakura felt eyes on him, but despite the warmth rising up his neck he chanced a look to see his friends grinning at him. Well, except for Sugishita. The pink on his face flared and he whipped his head back towards the speaker. 

“Today I want you all to do something fun or share a delicious meal together if you can! Know you have everyone here at Furin. You all are amazing and make me proud every day. I am thankful to have you all in my life!” Umemiya cheered.

By the time he’d finished yapping Sakura thought he was going to start sweating he was blushing so hard.

“Told you so,” Suo whispered, smiling at Sakura’s fluster.  

“You okay, Sakura-san?” Nirei asked. 

Sakura nodded, unable to look at them. Having brothers in his friends? The warmth and comfort in his heart at the thought was almost too overwhelming to bear. His friends and the others he knew at Furin, even the friends he’d made in neighboring gangs made his days. But how was he supposed to be brotherly? Was it spouting off his feelings to an audience like Umemiya? The mere thought had him wanting to crawl beneath his desk. Even if he did gather the nerve, he had no idea what to say without making himself sound stupid. And asking how to be brotherly seemed almost worse—the last thing he wanted was to admit how bad he faired to those who meant something to him. 

Why did Umemiya make a whole holiday out of this stuff?

“Sakura-kun?”

If he’d at least mentioned it before, he would’ve had more time to think!

“Sakura-san?” 

Nah, who was he kidding, he’d still be fucked.

“HEY SAKURA!”

He jumped in his seat. “OI! What?” He snapped, rounding on the voice to find Kurita waving a hand in front of his face. 

“You were totally zoned out,” Kiryu replied as Sakura smacked Kurita’s hand away. 

“You looked really worried, too,” Nirei frowned. “Are you okay Sakura-san?”

“If you’re feeling out of it, I can make you a protein shake!“ Tsugeura offered.

“M’ fine!” He grumbled, blushing slightly. “What’re you yelling at me for?”

“Well duh, it’s our patrol day!” Anzai grinned.

“Yeah, you were the one who reminded us this morning,” Kakiuchi added.

“Oh.” Despite himself Sakura’s blush got worse. “Right.”

“Goodness, Sakura-kun, I thought you’d have the routine down by now!” Suo smiled.

“I do!” He glared. 

Suo’s gaze took on a teasing glint. “Then why are you the only one still sitting at your desk?”

Sakura’s eyes widened and he glanced about the room. Everyone else had already left—well, except for his friends waiting for him. 

Pink dusted his cheeks and he jumped to his feet. “I’m not! Let’s go!” He yelled, only for an impossibly firm grip on his shoulder to stop him in his tracks. 

“Ack!” Sakura gasped. “Why?!” 

“Probably because something is still bothering you,” Kiryu said, brushing pink strands of hair into a bobby pin.

Sakura’s face warmed and he looked away from them but didn’t move to free himself. Anzai, Kurita, Takanashi and Kakiuchi looked at each other. Suo tilted his head and Kiryu and Tsugeura frowned.

Nirei’s eyes widened in realization. “Is it about Brother’s Day?”  

The blush spread to Sakura’s ears. Had he been that obvious? 

The knowing and concerned looks on his friends’ faces only made it worse. They exchanged glances as Sakura clenched his fists.

“You guys…are great…” he muttered, his group looking at him in surprise. “But…”

“But?” Suo asked, relaxing his grip. 

“I…don’t know how to be brotherly,” he finished, eyes dropping to avoid their disappointed gazes.

“What the hell are you even talking about!?” Anzai cried.

Sakura looked up just as everyone looked at him in amused bewilderment.

“Sorry,” Takanashi chuckled. “It’s just that you’re the most brotherly person here?”

“He’s right Sakura-chan!” Kiryu beamed. 

“Wuh-HUH?” Sakura cried, turning a bright scarlet. 

Nirei’s eyes glistened with joy. “You worry about us being safe more than we do!” 

“And are always there to have our back,” Suo smiled, patting his shoulder.  

All their happy faces felt like the sun to his soul, but the rate his blush was increasing he was going to catch on fire.

“Yeah! I’ve got to give it everything I’ve got just to keep up with you!” Tsugeura grinned, clapping him on the shoulder. “I want to be there for my little brothers too!” 

Kurita pumped his fist in the air. “Hell yeah to that!”

“Hey, what do you mean little brother?” Sakura said, his eyes narrowing as he batted away Tsugeura and Suo’s hands. “I’m no little brother! Nirei is the youngest!”

Nirei’s eyes widened. “What! No I’m not!” 

All eyes flew to him and he ducked his head under their gaze.

“But…Nirei-kun…you call us all so formally...” Suo frowned. 

“Oh, we-well,” Nirei said, fidgeting with his hands as pink framed his eyes. “It’s just that I look up to you guys a lot and you help me get stronger every day. It means the world to me…” 

Kiryu gave him a shoulder-hug and Anzai and Kurita gave him head pats as he giggled at their antics.

Sakura had almost turned just as pink as he watched the scene. Knowing that his friends and classmates felt the same as he did brought more comfort than he thought he’d known. 

“Awe this is all so sweet!” Kiryu said, patting Nirei’s shoulder. “But now I can’t help but be curious, who is the youngest?”

“Oh! Let’s see!” Nirei cheered, opening his notebook only to stop on the first page. His eyes widened and he looked up at Sakura. 

Everyone followed, making Sakura flush under their combined gaze. 

“…Sakura-kun?” Suo asked. 

“Huh?! No, the cutoff is April 1st!” He shouted, the color in his skin deepening as their surprise turned to awkward smiles and hushed snickers. 

“Is it correct to assume April 1st is your Birthday?” Suo said with his ever peaceful smile. 

Sakura squinted his eyes, flicking between his friends expressions trying to figure out sneakiness in his tone but finding none. 

“Yeah, so?” he grumbled. 

“Then that would make you the youngest,” Kiryu said, looking to Nirei. “Unless someone shares the same day?”

“Umm…I don’t think so,” Nirei frowned, flipping through the pages.

“That’s bullshit!” Sakura glared. “If the year starts on April 1st I have to be the oldest!”

“But it doesn’t,” Nirei blinked, squeaking and hiding behind his notebook when Sakura whipped toward him. “It starts on the 2nd!”

Would the others mess with him? Definitely. But Nirei? 

He turned the information over in his head until he turned his back to them and hid his face in his hands. 

“Awe, it’s okay Sakura-chan,” Kiryu smiled. 

“Yeah!” Tsugeura nodded. “Times and dates and stuff can be super confusing!”

“Is there anyone else even close to mine?” Sakura mumbled. 

“Yes, quite,” Suo said, smiling softly. “We are just days apart.”

“Three days to be exact!” Nirei seemed to sparkle as he flipped through the pages once more. “The rest of us have much larger gaps with me and Kiryu-san in September and August, and then Tsugeura-san being the oldest with a birthday in May!”

“What?!” Tsugeura cried. “When did you all get younger than me?”

Suo failed to stifle an annoyed glare, and Kiryu hid his smile with his sleeve.

“What day in May?” Anzai asked, looking over to Kurita. 

“And which in August?” Kurita squinted.

Takanashi and Kakiuchi grinned at each other as Nirei flipped through his notebook.

“The fifteenth!” Tsugeura cheered.

“Mine’s the nineteenth,” Kiryu replied. 

“Hell yeah! Still the oldest!” Anzai declared, holding up his hand. “I’ve got five days on you, Tsugeura!”

“Nice!” Tsugeura said, high-fiving him.

“And I’ve got–” Kurita squinted in thought before smirking at Kiryu. “Fourteen days!”

“I figured,” Kiryu shrugged. “It was the most likely outcome given the date.”

Sakura’s head span as he tried to keep track of who was older than who only for Nirei to pipe up.

“It looks like Kakiuchi-san and Takanashi-san are between Kurita-san and Anzai-san with birthdays in June and July!” Nirei added.

“What does all this stuff even matter?” Sakura groaned, his head beginning to ache. 

“Hardly at all,” Suo replied. “We’re all in the same class in the end.”

“Though you do have to admit,” Anzai grinned. “It is a crazy coincidence that us four out age you guys.”

“Oh!” Nirei gasped, writing frantically. “You’re right! Well, except for Tsugeura-san.”

“True, true,” Takanashi nodded.

“Well, with birthdays all clustered in late spring, summer and early fall, it’s not that surprising.” Kiryu blinked.

“Sure, but it did get me thinking on the holiday, and while we do a pretty good job of backing each other up, there’s one thing brothers do that we’re slacking on pretty hard,” Anzai said. 

“Uhh…” Sakura hesitated, looking between his friends. “What would that be?”  

A sneaky grin overtook Anzai’s face. “Messing with our little brothers of course!” 

His buddies mirrored his grin and Sakura bristled, narrowing his eyes but his friends only sighed. 

“I thought this is what you were trying to do, Anzai-kun,” Suo said, shaking his head. 

Kiryu put his hands up in a shrug. “Same, I’m not surprised at all.”

“What do you mean ‘try’?” Anzai asked, his smile growing as he crept toward them. “That’s absolutely where this is going!” 

“Watch out,” Kiryu beamed. “There’s not really anything you can do to us that we can’t do to you!”

“Well said, Kiryu-san!” Nirei nodded.

Sakura’s eyes darted around at everyone’s increasingly sneaky expressions as they shifted to ready positions.

“What the hell is going on?!” he shouted, raising his arms in defense. “What are we squaring up for?!”

“Pfft! We’re not squaring up!” Tsugeura grinned, shaking out his wrists. “We’re making up for lost time!”

“Alright, what should we do?” Takanashi grinned, scrunching his face up in an exaggerated thinking expression. 

“What if we catch them all and play with their hair?” Kurita smirked, only for Suo to stifle a laugh. 

“How old did you say you were again, Kurita-kun?” He asked, making the others snicker. 

“Who’s side are you on?!” Kurita cried, whirling on his buddies. 

“Heh, I know what we should do!” Anzai smirked. “How about something you never grow out of?” 

Sakura scrunched his face up in confusion and Suo blinked in curiosity. “And that would be?”

“No matter how grown up you get,” Anzai’s smile became wolfish, hands curling into claws with wiggling fingers. “You’ll always be hella ticklish!” 

Sakura’s face flushed and Tsugeura, Nirei and Kiryu’s eyes widened. 

“Oooh! Good idea, Anzai!” Kakiuchi said, tickling the air and grinning at Nirei and Kiryu’s nervous smiles. 

“Oh, I agree!” Suo replied, the others whipping their heads toward him. “But who’s to say we’re not going to be the ones tickling you instead?” He mused, smirking as Kurita and Kakiuchi shivered.

“Oh! You’re right Suo-san,” Nirei grinned. “We have the numbers!”

Mischievousness shone in Kiryu’s eyes as he wiggled his fingers back. “Come on, Sakura-chan!”

“What?! No!” Sakura cried, his blush growing. “Cut the shit, this is stupid!”

Before anyone could reply Tsugeura fell hard onto his knees. 

Everyone flinched as the ground shook and Nirei jumped in fright. “Ts-Tsugeura-san?” When Tsugeura’s didn’t answer he moved to his friend’s side. “Are you okay?”

Silence lingered and smiles disappeared. 

“Tsuge-chan?” Kiryu asked. 

Tsugeura mumbled something under his breath and he leaned closer. 

“What’d you say?” Takanashi frowned. 

“Yeah, man, you good?” Anzai asked, his hands lowering.

Tsugeura took a deep breath and yanked Nirei and Kiryu into a rough hug. “HA HA!” He cheered, jumping up with one under each arm. “I said: ‘GOT ‘EM!’” 

“Tsuge-chan! Why?!” Kiryu gasped, only for fingers to wiggle into his side. “Ahh! Ahahehehaha!”

“Ehehehe! Oho nohoho!” Nirei laughed, Tsugeura grinning as he gently scratched along his ribs. 

“Nice, Tsugeura!” Takanashi grinned, moving towards the remaining pair. “Looks like we might not be so outnumbered after all!”

“What happened to having each other’s backs and all that shit?” Sakura snapped.

“Oh we have your back all right,” Kakiuchi smiled. 

“Yeah, you guys are missing out on all the fun!” Anzai said, jabbing his thumb at Tsugeura.   

Nirei laughed brightly, kicking and twisting in Tsugeura's hold while Kiryu flopped over and giggled toward the floor. The sound sent butterflies fluttering around Sakura’s insides and he could feel the heat creeping across his skin. 

“That’s quite alright, I’m having plenty of fun spectating,” Suo replied. 

“Uh, oh, is someone nervous?” Kurita grinned, wiggling his fingers at them.

“Don’t–Dohon’t mess with me!” Sakura growled, his face tinting pink. 

“We don’t even have to touch him!” Kakiuchi smiled, repeating the gesture.

A bright blush and ticklish smile took over Sakura’s face. “Ahahassholes!” Sakura snapped, a few nervous giggles bubbling past his lips despite his efforts to look angry. Takanashi and Anzai joined in and he smiled helplessly. “You crehehepy mohotherfuhukers! Dohon’t doho that!”

“To answer your question,” Suo replied, smiling as Sakura clapped his hands over his eyes. “I am not nervous at all.”  

“And why is that?” Takanashi asked. 

“Because you can’t catch us,” Suo smiled. “Right, Sakura-kun?” 

Sakura started, whipping his head toward Suo and blushing furiously in realization. “Ah yeah, r-right.” 

“Awe come on, you guys want to play too!” Tsugeura grinned, speeding up the fingers tickling Nirei and starting to poke at Kiryu’s ribs.

Kiryu kicked in protest and Nirei squealed. 

“Nohohaha! Nahat the pohohokes!” Kiryu giggled, only to squeak as they were replaced with ticklish pinches. “EEK! NOhohoho! Thahahahat’s WOhohorse!”

“I can tell by both your smiles that you want some tickles too!” Tsugeura called, taking a sturdy stance and worming his fingers under one of Nirei’s and one of Kiryu’s underarms.

“Sakura~” Anzai taunted, him and his friends smiling at the simultaneous scream and newly hysterical laughter coming from the captured duo. “Time to laugh your head off!” 

Sakura blushed brightly and turned to tell off Anzai but he was already mid-pounce. Air caught in Sakura’s throat and a strangled shout left him as he grabbed Anzai by the shoulders and they crashed to the ground. 

Suo’s eye widened at Sakura’s swift takedown and Anzai laughed maniacally. 

“Can’t catch you my ass!” he snickered, hovering over Sakura and scribbling his fingers into his stomach, making the younger boy yelp and yank the tickling hands from his skin. 

“Neheheh! Noho!” Sakura grunted, trying to push Anzai off only for him to smirk and put his full weight onto Sakura’s legs. “You! Youhou bahahastard!” 

“Come on, I’m only trying to tickle your belly!” Anzai grinned, making Sakura turn as pink as his namesake. 

“Dohohohon’t cahahall it thahahat!” He cried, his strength lessening with each giggle. 

“Awe then what about tummy?” Anzai smirked, inching his fingers closer. “Tickles for your tum tum?” 

“Yohohou fuhuhucking weheheheirdohohAH! AHAHAHA!” Sakura cackled, throwing his head back as Anzai raked his nails down his middle. 

“See? All better!” Anzai teased, laughing at the wobbly half-glare his victim attempted before bursting back into hysterics.

“And then there was one.” 

Suo’s gaze snapped toward the voice to see Takanashi, Kurita and Kakiuchi sneaking toward him. 

“It’s your turn, Suo!” Kakiuchi said, grinning at how his smile became a little strained.

“Don’t think we forgot about you,” Takanashi added.

Suo forced himself to relax. “No need to trouble yourselves.” 

“Awe, but we’re feeling left out!” Kakiuchi replied, him and Kurita circling around to his right and left. 

His leg tensed to step back but that would trap him closer to the wall. He needed to go forward. 

The trio started to close in and he couldn’t help but death-grip his hands behind his back. He needed to wait until the absolute…last…second! 

His assailants hadn’t even finished reaching before Suo cut between Takanashi and Kurita and stood at the center of the room. 

“Oooh!” Kurita grinned. “Looks like Suo wants to play after all!” 

“Only entertaining you and your childish antics,” Suo replied, but he couldn’t tear his eyes from their hands. 

“We’ll see about that!” Kakiuchi snickered, trying a scribble to his neck only for him to duck back and narrowly sidestep Kakiuchi’s pokes. 

Suo chanced a glance toward the door only to yelp. The fingers that prodded his ribs were grabbed and before he could think he’d splayed Kurita flat on his back. 

“OKAY THATS IT!”

Nirei looked up amid his giggles to see Takanashi and Kakiuchi chasing Suo around the room with playful fierceness in their eyes while Anzai continued to tickle the daylights out of Sakura.

“Wait, wait, hold on!” Suo said, his peaceful smile overwritten by a wobbly one. “You were the ones who started this!”

“But you throw your brother to the ground!?” Takanashi asked, throwing his arms wide to block him in while Kakiuchi dodged around the desks Suo tried to put between them.

“Over a little rib tickle?” Kakiuchi smirked, wiggling his fingers. 

“N-Noho!” Suo replied, clapping a hand over his mouth a second too late.

Takanishi’s grin doubled in size. “Uh, oh, Suo! Was that a giggle I just heard?”

With more fluttering around his insides, Suo didn’t dare open his mouth. Until Kurita barreled toward him on all fours. 

“AH! WaHAIT wait wahait!” Suo cried, scrambling around and over furniture. 

“Wow, they’re going crazy!” Tsugeura awed, shifting his hands to Nirei and Kiryu’s sides.

“WAhehehahaha!” Nirei squealed, trying to twist away from Tsugeura’s fingers. 

Kiryu flailed, laughing at tickles and Kurita chasing Suo like a gremlin. “I’m dyhiHIHIHING! I’m dehehehehead I’m dyhyhyhying!” 

Tsugeura chuckled, his grip loosening slightly. “You’re okay!”

Nirei’s eyes widened in realization and he squirmed with purpose.

“I haven’t even gotten your worst spot yet!” Tsugeura snickered.

“Yehehehehet?!” Kiryu cried. “Tsuhugehehe!”

Tsugeura opened his mouth to reply and fingertips suddenly scribbled across his knee. The result was a squawk and a surprised jump. “WAH! Wahahahuh?” He looked down to see Nirei’s hand squeeze above his kneecap. “EEHehehe! Nirehehehei!” 

“Yehe! Yehehes!” Nirei cheered as Tsugeura’s grip loosened further, letting his other arm slip free and using both hands to lightly scribble behind his knee. 

“AHAHEE!” Tsugeura yelped, leaning to the side to pull Nirei up and away from the spot. “NOho! Dohohon’t tickle!”

“Yeheheah rihight!” Kiryu cried, pulling his arms from Tsugeura’s loosened hold and feathering his fingers on the back of his thigh. “Youhou tickled us first!”

“NAHAHE!” He laughed, leaning back the other way only for Nirei’s knee tickles to resume. “GUHUHUYS! NOHO! I’M GOHOHONNA–”

Nirei and Kiryu’s shouts joined his as all three of them crashed to the ground. They all groaned from the impact, Tsugeura just barely catching himself from landing on top of them.

Suo heard the guard drop from the exit and swept back toward it, not daring to turn his back to his assailants. He deflected all their scribbles, pokes and jabs like he would in combat, his smile becoming more confident as their attempts grew desperate. Suo was only one step from freedom when an impossible weight settled above his ankle. He looked down wide-eyed to find Tsugeura grinning up at him, his hand holding his leg in a firm grip. His gaze snapped up to three wickedly smiling faces and six sets of spidering fingers. Suo threw his arms up and his gasp ended in a panicked shriek as Kurita, Kakiuchi and Takanashi tackled him into the hall. 

“GOTCHA!” Kakiuchi yelled, trying to finally tickle Suo’s stomach only to be poked there himself.  “EHE!”

“You’re only making it worse for yourself!” Takanashi grunted, him and Kurita grappling for Suo’s arms as Kakiuchi gently scribbled his middle. 

“EhehEHA! NOHOhoho!” Suo cried, kicking his legs in protest only to loudly squeak when Takahashi spidered his hand up to his neck. “EEHEE! PLEHE! PleheheHEASE!” 

“After talking all that shit?” Kurita snickered.

“And causing all that trouble?” Kakiuchi added, lightly dragging his fingers up Suo’s side and making him hiccup in his laughter. “If you ask me you’re getting off easy!”

Suo laughed in reply, trying to kick at Kurita as he gently scribbled under Suo’s arm. 

“I’ll say! You fucking decked me!” He smirked. 

“Sounds like we got all of you!” Anzai snickered, poking and squeezing any tickle spot he could reach while Sakura just laid there, all energy to fight gone as giggles spilled out of him. 

Anzai looked up as Tsugeura wrapped Kiryu and Nirei into a big bear hug and wiggled his fingers into their necks and shoulders. The air filled with their giggles and Tsugeura’s chuckles added to the mix as they tickled him back in an attempt for release. 

“Well, I’d say it’s time for the big finale!” Anzai stilled his fingers and smiled with glee as he pushed Sakura’s shirt away from his stomach. “Ready?”

“Wuhuhuh? Whuhut thehe hehehell?” Sakura glared, only for Anzai to take a comically large breath and blow the biggest raspberry onto his belly. 

Sakura erupted into loud, desperate cackles as he pushed Anzai’s head away.

“Are you telling me you don’t like raspberries?” Anzai laughed. “You’re turning the same color as them so I figured you would!” 

Sakura clenched his blushing hands into fists and swung at him. “IHIHI’M GONNA KIHIhihill yohohohou!”

“Awe, you can’t do that to your big brother,” Anzai replied, flashing the cheekiest grin as he dug his fingertips under Sakura’s arms. 

Sakura didn’t deny it, but only because he was laughing too hard, and definitely not because of how happy it made him that someone wanted to be so silly and gentle with him. 

“WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS DOING?!” 

Before Sakura could process the shout, the underarm tickles stopped and he was pulled up into a hug.

“Senpai!” Anzai cried, patting Sakura’s head. “Our little brothers were bummed out and we were just cheering them up!”

Sakura looked up to see Kaji fuming in the doorway and his face burned. 

“Guys have been worried and looking for you! ” Kaji shouted, making Nirei and Tsugeura flinch as he rounded on the Suo and the others in the hall. “Let him go and get off your asses!”

Sakura blushed down to his neck as he fought out of Anzai’s embrace. Tsugeura finally released Kiryu and Nirei and they helped him up. Anzai snickered in amusement as he stood, offering Sakura a hand. He huffed, but took it anyway. Kaji caught Sakura’s gaze and the slightest blush tinted below Kaji’s eyes as he turned to leave. Everyone moved toward the hall, dusting themselves off as they moved after their senpai to catch up with the rest of their team. 

“So,” Anzai whispered, flashing a grin. “That was fun.”

Heads shook and sighs and huffs filled the space, but it was evident from the smiles on everyone’s faces that they all agreed.

Tickletober Drabble Day 4

(Ler!Kiryu/Lee!Nirei)

Wordcount: 337

~~~

"Wait.. That tickled?"

Kiryu couldn't help but to snicker at the startled look on Nirei's face, eyes blown wide and a wobbly little grin on his lips as he straightened and whipped around to look at the pink haired boy, startled after he'd playfully snuck up and blew on the base of his neck while he'd been absorbed in his notebook.

He'd only meant to spook Nirei a little, a playful way of getting his attention after calling out to him had failed, but instead, the shorter boy had almost immediately let out a shriek, giggling brightly as he brought his hands up to cover his neck protectively.

"Ehehehe.. Kiryu-san, you scared me!" He gasped, seeming relieved when he realized it was only Kiryu messing with him, and not some creepy bug or something crawling down his shirt. He shuddered at the mere thought.

Kiryu smiled apologetically at him, feeling a bit bad to have made him jump so badly, but at the same time, he couldn't help but to give into the urge to mess with him a little more anyway, snickering as he easily tugged Nirei's hands back out of the way and nuzzled his face into the base of his neck, blowing on his ears and scribbling at his shoulders playfully as Nirei burst into renewed giggles.

"Ehehehe!! Kiryu-sahahahaan!" Nirei whined, caught off guard for a whole other reason now, though he really didn't do much to actually try and escape at all, allowing Kiryu to continue his playful assault with very little resistance.

"Nirei-kuhuhuhun~!" Kiryu sing songed back mockingly, snickering as he hovered over the blonde mischievously, switching to dig his fingers into his sides instead as he blew a raspberry into the crook of his neck and making him squeal.

He never did end up remembering why he'd been trying to get Nirei's attention in the first place, but at the end of the day, he supposed it didn't matter that much, so long as they both had fun in the end!

Poker and flush

"Grrr..."

"Sakura-kun..."

Gold and black eyes glared up, almost sending chills down anyone's spine.

"What?"

Tsugeura gives a smile, holding his poker cards for implication, not shaken by that glare, "when ya play poker, you need a poker face..."

"Shut up, I know that!" He muttered now keeping the cards closed to his flustered face.

Why? Why his boring place -to play games and hang out? Honestly... these guys are weird. That's what Sakura would say though he never understood the warmth inside him.

Nirei and Suo exchanged amused glances with each other while Kiryu smirks, his cards neatly splayed with his long fingers. He displayed, "Three of a kind..." then eyes Sakura who literally winced.

"You're so bad at this Sakura-chan" his voice hints playfulness.

Sakura just grits his teeth, grumbling, "Shut it! This game sucks..."

Suo sighs, feigning exasperation though he has a teasing smile, leaning a bit closer to Sakura, "That's what you said when we played Uno and Mario kart"

"Well they all suck!"

Suo grins, letting his hands glide and neatly sprawl the cards on the floor they played on. "Full House..."

Tsugeura whistled, "wow again?"

Sakura already placed his hands down to fold his arms and everyone could see he had a terrible deck at hand... Suo laughs.

"Well I thought I'd be a royal flush... sadly not..."

"Quiet!" He blushed.

Nirei wonders now, seeing Sakura turn redder by each second, "Sakura-san, why's your face so red?"

Tsugeura laughs, his head tilted back for volume, "Haha! Suo-kun guessed it right, that is a royal flush indeed" and then added, "or a straight flush?"

He gestured to Sakura's face, who huffs, looking sideways and folding his arms more reservedly, but his flushed face getting brighter.

Such a tsundere... Nirei chuckles to himself.

"Sakura-kuuun~" Suo sang now wiggling his fingers towards him.

"Oi! Suo s-stop!" Sakura defensively slaps the sneaking hand that attempts to tickle him. Though another hand snuck from the opposite side to poke Sakura in the ribs.

"Ack -hey!" Sakura slips on his back, now stumbling backwards, embracing his ribs with a scowl. Kiryu who's behind Sakura looks interested as his eyes perked up, "Oya?"

Tsugeura looked up in a similar gesture, his cards which are three of a kind, dropped, "Oya, Oya?"

"Ehh..." Sakura noticed many stares, all interested and keen. He slowly attempts to back away but Suo grabs his ankle to pull him back, "Oopse! Almost let you get away there, Sakura-kun"

Tsugeura noticed Suo's action and swiftly joined in with a childisly excited expression, "Haha! I'm loving this, I'll grab him for you"

Sakura sputtered, legs kicking madly now when Suo tried to restrain his legs and Tsuge looming over him, "H-ha? W-w-what the -no!"

Without any difficulty, the muscular guy grabbed his wrists and easily had them above his head, "Gosh Sakura, I expected you to have more violent struggles... plus you seem smaller than i imagineu were"

"Shut up! I-I I'm nohoOHOt!" He arched his back when Suo slides a finger up his side to silence his retorts.

Kiryu looks blissfully at the display where Sakura gets mobbed by Suo and Tsuge.

"Sakura-chan looks so cute... and he's blushing like the royal flush he wishes he had -or a straighr flush at least..."

"Oh!" Nirei grinned with agreement, "yes, Sakura is the royal blush!"

"D-dohohont fuhuhucking mehehess wihihith mehehehe -ahahaha shit!" He had been fighting Suo to free his legs but Tsuge instantly scribbled his fingers under his arms to make him buck and squirm. His head pulled back, his limbs less accurate in trying to escape and cackling loud... a sight no one has ever seen.

Nirei looks with awe, "I feel like Sakura-san's laughter is actually cooler than his usual angry grunts..."

Suo grins, nodding as he gives random pokes on Sakura's stomach and even crawling under his shirt to torment the sensitive skin to make him jolt and shriek.

"Yes Nirei-kun, even if his little temper tantrums are endearing than anything, his giggling is much more amusing to me" he gently tickles his bare sides under the shirt knowing how bad it gets the guy.

"Gaahahaha shihit cohohohome ohohon!" He tries to lower his arms but failed miserable as he felt his neck being targeted, he scrunchedhis neck with a squeak. Despite his large body he's surprisingly gentle and that's not helping poor Sakura at all.

"Aww that was cute!" Tsuge cooed, still running his fingers gently on his neck.

"I wonder what will happen if I do this?" Kiryu abruptly stepped in, and wiggled his fingers teasingly over Sakura's kneecap but that made his foot jerk and nearly hitting Suo's jaw who expertly dodged.

"Whoa now we can't have that..." Suo captures his leg and gave his calf a good squeeze.

"EHHH! WAIT!" His cry got loud and he broke free from Tsuge but couldn't do anything when Kiryu continued his little torture on his knee and Suo carefully strumming his fingers over his soles now after targeting his calf.

"AHAHA SHIT NOT THEHEHEHERE!" He exclaimed with a shrilled high-pitched laugh, Tsuge laughed along as he tried to grab his shoulders for perfect restrain.

"Nice his knees are as bad as his feet... perhapshis calf muscles are more sensitive than his knees..." Nirei jotting down notes and that made Sakura snap with loud giggles, "HEHEHELL HAHA NOHOHO WAY YOU RIIHIHIGHTING THAHAHAT CRAHAHAP!"

"I sure hell am!" Nirei sticks his tongue, then watched how Sakura gets slugged with tickles.

"Ahhhh~ Sakura-chan is so cute, it's so wrong to be that adorable!" Kiryu sang.

And the teasing began...

"Yes Kiryu-kun, his poker face always falls and its too adorable!" Suo joins, sliding a finger up Sakura's arc, that made him squeak and squirm more -oh and his blush.

Tsugeura chuckled as he snapped a few pics of them on his phone. since Sakura's restrains are lowered he takes this chance to weakly tackle Kiryu to the ground. His face as bright as cherries.

"Hahha dahahamn it eehehehenough!"

"Nope not yet..." Suo teased, stepping forward to tase his hips with his finger, which made him jump a bit and crumble side away from straddling the pink haired guy.

"EE!"

"Oh wow its like a weapon" Suo mischievously began using his two fingers like guns to prod his sides and hips.

Kiryu laughs menacingly, raising his hands like gun symbols as well, "That makes four guns! Attack!"

They 'attacked' Sakura's stomach knowing how the tingly touches drives him into mad giggles. Sakura wished he was attacked by real guns tho...

Yet... he can't deny that he didn't mind these funny little games they played with him... even if they are embarassing as heck...

Its not bad...

Sakura however might consider revenge someday... he's not one to forget that easily... till then he might enjoy this...

Tsuge continued recording this messy play fight -well two against one fight at least. His cries of laughter and endless blushes continue a few more minutes.

Nirei loved to see more shades of Sakura, he's just like the cherry blossoms that bloom brightly every spring.

Hope it never ends.

Sore Loser

Sooooo I decided to write another Wind Breaker fic lmao. I kinda like this one? Maybe. Idk lmfao. Ending felt kinda rushed to me only because I wasn’t sure how to finish it off, but anyway I hope you guys like it! Kiryu is such a soft boy and I love him. ❤️

Warnings: None aside from tickling and mild profanity, also there aren’t really any manga spoilers aside from the fact that Kiryu isn’t really known in the anime yet so that’s all really.

Summery: Kiryu invites the trio over for video games, but it quickly turns into something else instead.

“Isn’t it great that Kiryu invited us over? I wonder what his room is like!” Nirei exclaimed with excitement.

Suo chuckled. “Now, now. You better be on your best behavior Nirei.”

Sakura rolled his eyes. “Sheesh it’s just video games.”

Nireis eyes widened. “J-Just video games?! Sakura we’ll be playing video games against Kiryu! That’s such a great honor!”

Suo chuckled. “Relax. It was nice of him to invite us over, so please behave nicely, okay?”

Sakura, Suo, and Nirei soon stood before the door as Suo knocked. Kiryu answered to let them in. “Welcome everyone! I’m so glad my fellow first years could make it!” He gave his usual soft feline-like smile.

Suo smiled politely. “Of course. Even Sakura here was stoked to pay a visit.”

Sakuras face flared up beet red as Kiryu directed his smile at him. “Sh-Shaddup! I-I was not!” He protested. Nirei just laughed nervously and Suo chuckled with amusement.

Kiryu led them inside to his room, where they got situated on the floor.

“Alright, let’s start. Nirei would you like to go first?” The pink haired boy offered the younger one.

Nirei vigorously nodded, making Kiryu laugh. They began taking turns playing rounds against each other. It turned out that Suo was good at Mario Kart, as was Nirei.

But unfortunately Sakura was the one who held the most losses.

Suo chuckled as Sakura lost yet another round, sending him into a fit of his famous growls.

“It’s nothing to get upset about Sakura. You just need practice. Nirei and I have played this many times. Don’t be such a sore loser.”

“Sh-Shut it! I-I am not a damn sore loser!” Sakura glared as he blushed a bit.

Kiryu just chuckled as well. “That doesn’t seem to be the case. You seem quite sore really.”

They all laughed playfully as Sakura went more red.

Suo then started poking the dual haired boy. “No need to frown. Show us your sweet smile!”

Sakuras eyes widened, and he cried out in protest as he tried to get away from Suos hands, but it didn’t do much as Suo began wiggling his fingers up and down his sides.

“W-Wahait!!” Sakura struggled against him, trying to force the laughter down.

“Stop being such a sore loser Sakura~ I said for you to be in your best behavior didnt I~?” Suo teased. He found his ribs and gently prodded into them, making Sakura finally burst into laughter as he struggled and squirmed helplessly.

Kiryu and Nirei watched as Suo took him down instantly. Nirei sighed. “Sorry about this. They get like this sometimes.”

Kiryu smiled. “No, it’s no problem.” He watched as Sakura was struggling against Suo, and in fits of laughter. “It’s rather adorable if anything.”

“Hey Nirei, can I have some help here?” Suo asked the blonde boy. It seemed that Sakura was putting up a good fighting, trying to trap Suos hands.

“Oh boy…” Nirei breathed out nervously. But just as he was about to jump in and assist, Kiryu moved in.

With very delicate moves, Kiryu added in his own hands, tickling any unguarded spots he could reach. With two people tickling him, Sakura was twice as screwed.

“W-WAHahahait!!! Sh-Shihihit!!! Nohohoho!!!”

Sakura thrashed under them as Suo dug at his lower ribs, and Kiryu found his tummy, tickling gently at the soft skin under his shirt. The skin to skin contact to his tummy lit his face on fire.

“You’re so cute Sakura. You’re like a little puppy.” Kiryu teased with a grin. This did not help Sakuras facial color in the slightest.

Nirei watched as the two of them wrecked Sakura with some pity. He wasn’t sure if he should save him or just let it pass.

“D-DAhHamihihit THihIhihis IhIhiHihisnt fAhAHAhahair…” Sakura protested. He squealed when Kiryu found his hips, and thrashed more. It was beyond difficult just trying to fend off all four hands.

“Stop moving so much Sakura~” Suo teased as he started straddling his hips to further pin him down. Then Suo moved a hand back and started squeezing gently at one of his knees.

Sakura squealed and bursted into loud cackles as he kicked desperately, his arms flying to reach helplessly for his hands.

“SHIHIHIT NOHOHOT THEHEHERE!!!”

“Where? Here?” Suo teased, making sure to spider his fingernails gently at the tender underside of his knee as well, making the poor victim weaken with more laughter.

Kiryu went for his armpits next and Sakura clamped his arms down tightly to his sides.

Kiryu pulled at his arms but Sakura was stubborn not to let them tickle him there. Soon however he had both Kiryu and Suo on his arms trying to force them over his head.

With how weak Sakura was already from laughter, as well as having two people on him, the othello boy had no hope.

Now Kiryu had his hands pinned above his head, and Suo grinned evilly down at him.

Sakuras eyes were widened and he struggled harder.

“N-No! S-stop!!! S-Suo I-I’ll kihihilll yohohu!! D-dohohont you dahahare!!!” Sakura had no hope to escape no matter how hard he pulled at Kiryus grip.

Soon Suo descended, but instead of directly attacking, much to Sakuras shock, he went under his shirt to tickle directly.

Sakura screeched as if he was just stabbed. He then proceeded to fall into hysterical cackles as Suo gently dug his fingers into his armpits.

Sup was surprised how soft the skin was there. Almost like a babies. He grinned as the boy was slowly losing himself in laughter.

“NOHOHOHOHO MOhOhOHOrE PLEHEHEHAHASE!!!” Sakura cried out, his legs kicking out from behind Suo.

Kiryu took pity and decided to let Sakuras arms go, while Suo finally took his hands away, getting off him.

Sakura curled up in a protective ball, still in a slight giggle high. Sakura felt completely humiliated. He felt vulnerable and weak. However, for some reason he wasn’t sure if he hated it.

Suo smiled at him. “You alright Sakura?”

Sakura shakily sat up a bit, red in the face from embarrassment and laughter.

“Y-you… yohohuu dahamn bahastard…”

Kiryu laughed. “Sorry about that Sakura.”

Sakura glared, blushing madly.

“U-Um… so how about the game guys?” Nirei asked nervously.

Suo and Kiryu slowly turned to him, and just as soon as they had, Nirei was being tackled as he squealed.

Very soon the room was filled with Nireis laughter.

“G-GUHUHUHUYS WAHAHAHAIT!!!”

It took a while before they started playing Mario Kart again.

Sakura found himself not being all that upset about how things turned out. Maybe this was nice also.

Scares Fail

A/N: Here's another fic for intheticklecloset's Tickleween event! This one is for prompt: #28 Haunted House and #9 Owl

Word count: 2,105

Read on Ao3

This is a fluff/tickle fic for Wind Breaker. If either of those aren't your thing, may your journey continue onward! If you're here for them, welcome and I hope you enjoy!

The Furin Spooktacular was almost at hand. Costumes had been made, the grounds decorated, and the school transformed into a three-level haunted house. Each grade decided on a theme and each class decorated a section of the hallway. With staging and preparation complete, members of each class who’d been assisting with other aspects of the event were to walk through the halls for a dress rehearsal. This was mostly to make sure everything worked smoothly, but also as a point of encouragement to make a scary experience for their classmates or, as some put it, victims. 

For class 1-1, those victims included Sakura and Tsugeura who’d been helping with the fairgrounds in the school yard and Suo and Kiryu, who were helping with the hay ride. Nirei had also helped with the fairgrounds, but upon hearing the conditions of the haunted house volunteers he had turned white as a sheet. His class immediately decided to spare him, as none of them wanted to put him through something he found unpleasant. 

While Nirei waited for his friends at the end, the remaining four stepped into their class’ hallway. It was immediately dark, the only light being the frankly weak flashlight that the group had been given. The feint golden beam scanned the hall. Cobwebs, knocked over furniture, red splotches and large scratch marks covered the walls. The overall effect was that the school had been abandoned and empty, and that something—something HUGE—had made it that way.

“Wow,” Tsugeura whistled, making Kiryu and Sakura jump. “This place looks crazy.”

“I know!” Kiryu whispered. “If we didn’t have class today it would be hard to believe the school wasn’t closed down!”

“I have to agree,” Suo called, taking a few steps toward a scratch mark. “I just hope these scratches are vanity and actual damage to the wall hasn’t incurred!”

The four of them listened for movement but only received silence. 

“Damn, nothing,” Sakura whispered. 

“Yes, it seems they’ve all been working hard,” Suo agreed, moving deeper into the hall. “Best not keep them waiting, shall we?”

The other three nodded with varying degrees of reluctance as they followed after him. They walked slowly, trying to take in all their and the other classes’ work and keep an eye out for any props that might be too dangerous. Unfortunately, looking at all the unknown figures in the darkness of the classrooms they passed and the distant sounds of something sharp dragging across the tile floor put them on edge. 

Kiryu swept the beam of the flashlight rapidly between props. 

“You’re moving the light too damn fast!” Sakura hissed. 

“I’m trying to find them! Doesn’t it bother you that we haven’t seen a single person?” Kiryu whispered.

“Well…” Suo frowned. “Someone has to be making those noises.” 

“Yeah, and it’s our classmates,” Tsugeura swallowed. “We’ll be alright.”

“Maybe, but they’re pulling some serious horror game stuff right now,” Kiryu replied.

“They’re playing it up, that’s for sure,” Sakura muttered. His three friends continued as he swept the darkness. A pair of eyes stared back at him and he froze.  Not only did he not recognize them, but something was wrong. They looked off…like they weren’t entirely human. He waited for them so move, shift, even blink. But they just sat there, peering into his soul and making goosebumps flash across his skin until he couldn’t take it anymore. 

“Goddamn it, BLINK, motherfucker!” Sakura yelled.

Suo, Kiryu and Tsugeura whirled around in alarm. 

The feint light of the flashlight fell on Sakura before shifting to where his gaze fell…onto a plastic owl. 

His face twisted in confusion and a strangled laugh sounded from behind him. Sakura turned to see a figure barely crouched down behind a desk. He spluttered with the effort to keep quiet only to look up at Sakura’s bewildered face and fully lose it. 

“Stop it you idiot!” Someone else hissed. 

“Ihihi! I cahahahan’t!” They hiccuped. “Hehehe! He yehehelled at a fuhuhukin ohohowl!” 

Sakura’s face warmed and he turned back to the others to get the rest of the thing over with. He looked up and Tsugeura was snickering into his arm like he was trying to hide a sneeze, Kiryu was halfway to the floor with a huge smile on his face, and Suo had turned his back to him, shaking as he tried to fight down giggles. 

“Oh come on!” Sakura shouted, throwing his arms up as his blush worsened. “I thought it was a guy!”

At that his three friends lost their battles, dissolving into laughter. 

“ANZAI-KUN!” Someone roared. Shouts of frustration and expletives filled the space as lights turned on in the classrooms.  

“OH HELL NO!” Anzai fired back, an all-black figure stepping out into the far end of the hall. “I’m all the way over here, it was NOT me this time! ”

“This time,” a few voices muttered, while a few more joined the laughing fit. 

“Who the fuck started yelling!?” 

“You can’t do that if there’s actually an audience in here, dumbass!”

“Yeah, we could’ve kept going, we almost had it!”

Sakura strode past everyone, his blush making it’s way down his neck as he exited the hall and nearly tripped over a crouching Nirei. 

“What the?!” Sakura cried, barely recovering as Nirei yelped at the impact. “What’re you doing?!” 

“Sorry!” He groaned, getting to his feet. “I was curious so I tried to listen to what was happening under the door. Was somebody laughing?”

When the door opened and his still snickering friends joined them he got his answer.

Nirei frowned. “I’m super confused, was it not scary?”

“No, it was,” Suo replied, grinning at Sakura. “What about you, Sakura-kun? Do you have any particular notes?”

Sakura crossed his arms and glared at Kiryu and Tsugeura when they snickered at Suo’s comment. “They did a good job,” he grumbled. 

“Nohohothing else to say?” Kiryu giggled. 

His blush returned. “You guys suck,” he muttered. 

“Hey, don’t feel bad, Sakura!” Tsugeura smiled. “Owls can be huge and we were looking for our guys anyway!” he added, patting him on the shoulder. “Easy mistake to make!”

If it weren’t for the honest sympathy in Tsugeura’s expression Sakura would’ve punched him. 

“Oh, yeah! Uhhuh…that’s an eheheasy mix-up!” Nirei said, putting a hand over his mouth to prevent any more giggles from slipping. 

Sakura crossed his arms and turned away to hide the beet-red color on his face. “Will you just let it go?!” 

“But it was one of my favorite parts!” Kiryu beamed. 

He only glared at the wall in response. 

“There’s no need to be so upset over such a silly little blunder, Sakura-kun,” Suo smiled. “It’s good to laugh at yourself every once and awhile.”

“Yeah, this is supposed to be fun!” Tsugeura added, earning leveled eyes from Suo. “You gotta let go and relax!” He smiled. 

Sakura scowled. “Maybe I would if you’d shut up about it already.” 

“Oh dear, this seems like a pretty serious case of grumpiness,” Kiryu sighed. 

“Now what are you on about?” Sakura huffed, looking back at his friends. 

“Hmm, I think you might be right, Kiryu-san,” Nirei nodded, looking between Suo and Kiryu. “Tsugeura-san, will help us help Sakura-san feel better?” 

“I see what you’re putting down!” He nodded, cracking his knuckles. “Absolutely, I’ll help!”

In one swift motion Tsugeura had hooked his arms under Sakura’s, pulled him off his feet, turned him away from the wall and sat him down facing the others. 

“Wh-! Hey!” Sakura snapped, trying to pull his arms free only to freeze at three suspicious smiles and six sets of fingers slowly moving towards him. “Shit! No!” he yelled. “Don’t you dare!” 

“Oh, we dare,” Suo smirked, gently scratching at his upper ribs while Kiryu feathered his fingers along his sides and Nirei squeezed above his knees. 

“AHHAHAHA! Nohohohahaha! NahAHAHAHA! NAHAT ALL THREEheheeh of YOUHOU!” Sakura cried, only to scream and laugh even harder when Tsugeura shifted his grip under his arms and wiggled two fingers into each of his armpits. 

“You think I’m going to sit by and let a friend get taken out by the grumpies?” Tsugeura grinned. “No way!”

“I’m glad! Though I was trying to stay away from his bad spots since he’s so outnumbered,” Nirei chuckled nervously, scribbling at his kneecaps. 

“Awe it’s just four more fingers,” Kiryu smiled, switching to poking up and down both his sides. “Surely our super strong grade captain can handle it!”

“EHEHEHE! THIhihISS AIHIHAIN’T SHIHihihihit!” 

“See?” Kiryu giggled. “Though it’s funny you say that after threatening us not to!”

Despite all the ticklishness dancing across Sakura’s skin he could still feel his blush spreading down his neck. 

“Then the treatment is working?” Tsugeura asked. 

“I don’t know, maybe we should check,” Nirei said, stilling his fingers. 

“Alright,” Suo nodded, pausing along with the others. “Sakura-kun?”

“Whahahahat?” Sakura chuckled, his friends smiling at his after giggles. “Whahat the fuhuhuck?”

“Are you still mad about the owl incident?” Suo asked. 

“Yohohu mean about you guys lahahaughing at me?” He breathed. 

“What? I wasn’t laughing at you! I was laughing at the scenario!” Tsugeura said.

“Yeah, you got to admit, it was rather silly,” Nirei smiled. 

Sakura huffed. “Yohou weren’t even there!”  

“But that just proves the point,” Suo said, watching him closely. “If Nirei-kun had done the same thing, are you sure you wouldn’t have laughed?”

Sakura hesitated before pouting. “Maybe. If it was actually funny.”

“Hmm…results are inconclusive…I think he might need another round,” Suo hummed. “Just to be sure we got it all.”

“Huh?!” Sakura cried, a nervous smile on his face as his friends scooted closer. “Got all of what?!”

“The grumpiness, obviously!” Kiryu mused, wiggling his fingers at him. “Got to make sure you’re all better!”

His face warmed once again and he uselessly tried to backpedal as hands began spidering up his midsection. 

“Wahahait wahahaHAIT WHAHAHEHE!” He cried, pulling his legs up to block only for their fingers to descend on and under his knees until he laid them flat again. “THIHIHIS IHIHIhihisn’t fahahaHAHAIR!”

Suo laughed, his fingers faltering for a moment before resuming soft pinches and squeezes along his hips and sides. “You’re just now realizing?”

“And despite that he hasn’t said stop the entire time!” Nirei grinned, mentally keeping track of which of his ribs was most susceptible to tickly scratches. 

“IHIHIHI CAHAhahahan handlEHEHE IHIHIHIT!”

“Umm, I dunno,” Tsugeura said, poking his underarms with each of pair of fingers and making him squeal. “I’m not using my entire hands.”

“And we haven’t even touched your tummy,” Kiryu mused, inching a finger above his stomach for Sakura to arch away. “But you know what? What if that’s where the grumpiness is hiding?” 

Sakura groaned through his laughter and his friends all grinned at each other. 

“I think you might be on to something,” Suo smiled, looking up at Sakura as he hovered a hand over his stomach. “Ready, Sakura-kun?”

Kiryu and Nirei followed his lead and though there were less hands tormenting him, Sakura began giggling harder. 

“Wahahahait! Wait wahahait!” he tried, only to erupt with loud cackles when Suo did the exact opposite, skittering his fingers across his stomach. Kiryu added long, gentle scratches, and Nirei pressed ticklishly into his his muscles with familiar and horribly tickly accuracy. 

Tears of laughter trailed down his face and with the addition of the rest of Tsugeura’s fingers in his armpits, his laughter went silent. All four of them looked up in surprise and ceased their attack. 

Sakura took a large breath only to start cackling again, shaking as residual laughter left his body. Tsugeura released his grip in favor of supporting him as he recovered. Nirei patted his knee and Sakura jumped.

“Nahahaha! Hehe! Shihihihit! Nohoho! Nohoho mohohohore!” 

“Don’t worry, I won’t,” Nirei giggled. “Not for now at least.”

Sakura nodded, still snickering as he wiped his eyes with his sleeve.

Suo beamed. “Seems Kiryu-kun was right. You seem to have made a full recovery!”

“Yup! That looks like a happy Sakura to me!” Tsugeura grinned.

“Mhm!” Kiryu smiled. “Glad I could help!”

“Now that that’s been resolved, I suppose our test of our grade’s hall is over.” Suo said, standing up.”

“Oh right!” Nirei clapped a hand to his forehead. “I was supposed to have you guys take the flashlight back to the entrance! You all came through the exit all smiles and I completely forgot,” he winced. 

“I was wondering what we were supposed to do with this,” Kiryu said, holding up the object in question as they got to their feet. 

“Wehe…we betteher go tahake it to them,” Sakura smiled, a blush dusting his cheeks at the beaming faces his friends gave him in return.

Be-leaf in Your Smile

A/N: Here's the first fic for @intheticklecloset's Tickleween event! This one is for prompts: #1 First Frost & #7 Fall Leaves

This is a fluff/tickle fic for Wind Breaker. If either of those aren't your thing, may your journey continue onward! If you're here for them, welcome and I hope you enjoy!

They’d known since lunch break it had come early. The trees outside the classroom windows swayed with each chilled gust of wind and fallen leaves span and twirled throughout the schoolyard. At the school day’s end, members of Furin stepped out into the brisk air. Most tried to brace themselves against the cold while others seemed to dance with the leaves. One of those few being Kiryu, who smiled brightly as his sleeves fluttered in the wind. 

“Someone sure looks happy,” Suo mused, his tassel earrings blowing about him as Kiryu beamed. 

“Cute cozy clothes, warm tasty treats and no more sweaty days!” Kiryu smiled, hugging his shoulders. “It’s just the best!” 

“I–I could go for some-something co-cozy right now,” Nirei shivered, his arms wrapped tightly around himself. 

“You going to be alright?” Sakura frowned. 

“Yeah,” Nirei nodded, smiling slightly. “I’ll ma-make it home, but I’ll de-definitely dress warmer to-tomorrow.”

“I can’t believe it’s already over,” Tsugeura wilted. “No more bright morning runs, refreshing swims or heated workouts.”

“You can still do all those things indoors,” Suo said.

Tsugeura sighed. “I guess, but it’s not the same.”

Kiryu frowned at his sadness and someone screeched. 

All five of them whipped around to see Kurita flailing wildly and grabbing at his middle.

“Get your cold as FUCK hands OFF ME!” he yelled, jabbing his elbow at Anzai, who’s wolfish grin only grew as he shoved his arms further up his shirt. 

Kurita screamed again, wrenching to the side and taking Anzai to the ground with him. Takanashi and Kakiuchi shook their heads in amusement as the two fought on the pavement. 

Kiryu’s expression brightened, and he rubbed his hands together vigorously and sidling over to Tsugeura. “It’s alright, Tsuge-chan! I thought of something that doesn’t change no matter the season.” 

“Yeah?” he asked, looking confusedly at Kiryu’s hands. “What is it?”

“Your smile!” Kiryu beamed, ducking behind him and dragging his fingers ticklishly around his side. 

“Hehehe! Hehey!” Tsugeura snickered, trying to turn and catch his friend’s hands only for Kiryu to circle him again and again. “Whahaha! Why are yohohou tihihickling mehehehe?”

“Why not?” Kiryu grinned, switching to gentle squeezes along the sides of his belly.

Tsugeura gave up trying to catch him, leaning on his knees to brace himself as he laughed towards the ground. 

“You look so much happier than you did a minute ago!” Kiryu smiled, taking advantage and fluttering his fingers up from his sides and under his arms, making his friend wheeze in his laughter.

Sakura, Suo and a still shivering Nirei looked on at the silly display, Anzai’s loud laughter joining Tsugeura’s as Kurita roughly dug into his assailant’s armpits.

Nirei shakily reached for his notebook to write down his observations when fingers scribbled into his side. 

“EEEhehehe! Nohohahahaha!” he giggled, recoiling from Suo only for Sakura to catch him around his shoulders. “Whahahy mehehehe?!” 

“Well I was watching our friends here,” Suo smiled, gently scratching up his ribs with his second hand. “And I had the idea that getting you all worked up would help you not be so cold.”

Nirei squealed in his laughter, pushing against Sakura’s arms. “OKAHEHAHA! Okay! Ihihits wohohorking! Hehehe! Youhohou can stahahahaha!”

“Then why’re you still shaking?” Sakura asked, trying and failing to hide his grin. 

“Behecause Suohoho-sahahahan is tihihihickling mehehehe!” He cried, wiggling his fingers into Sakura’s stomach. 

A startled laugh left Sakura’s lips and his hands flew to his middle. Nirei took his chance and leapt away from the pair, turning around and putting his hands up as he caught his breath. 

“Better?” Suo asked, smirking at a blushing Sakura behind him. 

Admittedly he did feel better, but Nirei hesitated, trying to think of a response that wouldn’t provoke any more tickles. 

Before he could think of one, a pink blur cut between them followed quickly by a wildly grinning Tsugeura. He took a few strong strides before stopping short as Kiryu ran ahead. 

“You’re just going to let him get away?” Sakura asked. 

“Nah, I’ll get him later,” Tsugeura shrugged with a smile. “Ain’t no way I’m catching that man while he has the zoomies.”

Hay Hilarity

A/N: Here's another fic for intheticklecloset's Tickleween event! This one is for prompt: #8 Hayride

Word count: 1,095

Read on Ao3

This is a fluff/tickle fic for Wind Breaker. If either of those aren't your thing, may your journey continue onward! If you're here for them, welcome and I hope you enjoy!

Furin’s halloween festival was in full swing. What had at first been idle musings, Umemiya had turned into a full-blown event dubbed “Furin's Spooktacular.” Though it didn’t quite roll off the tongue, someone at least got to him before he’d locked in the name “Spooky School Celebration.” The event included a halloween-themed fair out front, a multi-layered haunted house inside and hayrides around the school grounds. 

The hayrides were closer to an adventure attraction. Students of Furin waited in the shadows along the grounds, and depending on those on board would create a mystical or terrifying experience. One of the more frightening variations involved a barely successful escape from soul-eating specters. Individuals who moved quickly were asked to help, Suo and Kiryu being among them. 

The pair slowed, disappearing behind the designated blind spot as the ride rounded the corner. They waited until the passengers’ screams were a little further before stepping out of their hiding place. 

“Well…that was effective it seems,” Suo said, trying to brush hay from the robes he wore. 

“Mmm,” Kiryu nodded. “I didn’t think it was scary enough to get so much hay thrown at us though.” He coughed and stuck his tongue out. “Think ah gah some in mah mouth.”

“We might have the groups that came before us to thank for that,” Suo sighed, looking himself over. “As nice as these costumes are, the fibers take hold of the hay too easily. And the sudden appearance effect won’t work if they see floating hay before we even move.”

Kiryu waved his sleeves experimentally, but he was right: most of the straw pieces stayed stuck in the opaque and slightly shimmery fabric. “We might need to help each other get it off then,” Kiryu said, turning to Suo and gesturing to the hidden chairs for them to rest on during less scary runs. “May I?”

“That’s very kind,” Suo nodded, taking a seat. “I’ll help you nex–” Words died on his tongue and he closed his mouth as Kiryu gingerly began pulling out the hay. His touch was gentle—too gentle—sending ticklish sparks across his skin as his nimble fingers lightly plucked at his shoulders and back.

As casually as possible Suo raised his hand to his mouth to hide the smile slowly growing as Kiryu neared his ribs. To his relief he went about pulling pieces off his sleeves before politely tapping his elbow. 

“There’s still some caught between your arms and sides, Suo-chan,” Kiryu said softly. “Can you move your arms up a little?”

“…You’re kidding.”

“No,” Kiryu smiled, wincing. “I’m not trying to, I swear.”

At the realization he’d noticed his ticklish predicament Suo turned away to hide the tint on his cheeks and reluctantly raised his hands to be level with his head. 

Kiryu tried his hardest to pull pieces free of the fabric without touching Suo, but the ghost touches made it worse, snickers bubbling past his lips as he did everything in his power to keep still. 

“Sorry, sorry,” Kiryu said, gently moving Suo’s elbow away when a particularly tickly touch made him pull it down. “But gosh, I didn’t know you were this bad!”

Suo’s face flushed scarlet and he hid behind his hands as a steady stream of jumpy giggles left him. “Juhuhust! Hehe! Get it oveheher wihith!”

“Trying,” Kiryu smiled softly, moving to his front and increasing in speed at his request only for him to giggle harder. “Still trying not to, but you sure are making it hard not to just go ham.” 

“Juhuhust fihihinihisheheHEEP!” Suo squealed at fingers gently poking at his neck. Before either of them could think he was on his feet with both of Kiryu’s wrists in his hands. 

“I-knew-it-would-be-bad-so-I-saved-it-for-last!” Kiryu rushed out, staring at him wide-eyed. 

Suo looked down and, true to his word, there were hay fibers gripped in his fingertips. His costume was also miraculously free of hay. 

Suo hummed in thought before his serene smile returned. “That it was,” he nodded. “Sorry about that!”

He released his wrists and Kiryu sighed in relief only to freeze when Suo motioned to the chair.

“Now I can help you,” Suo smiled, almost too innocently. “Why don’t you take a seat?”

“Aha, right,” Kiryu nodded, sitting down and tensing up as Suo walked behind him. 

Suo clicked his tongue and placed two fingers on each of his elbows. “Arms away please.”

Kiryu shivered, but obliged. “You’re really going to milk this, aren’t you?”

“I haven’t the slightest clue what you’re talking about!”

“Suo-chan I was really trying not to!” 

“Maybe, but you did tease me though. But don’t worry! I won’t return the favor.”

Before Kiryu could answer Suo’s blunt fingernails glided over his back like a comb. He jumped harshly, giggles erupting from his chest at the sensation. 

“Wahahahahait! Nohohoho!” Kiryu tried to pull forward but Suo firmly gripped his shoulder to keep him in place. “Whahahahat thehe!?  Suohoho-chahahan!” 

“I’m trying to be more efficient so you don’t have to suffer as long!” Suo beamed. “Each spot only needs one pass so it’ll be over quick!” 

The long ticklish strokes had already gone over the entirety of his back, but were nearing his sides. Kiryu giggled harder at the realization, pulling his arms in tighter. Suo shook his head and took one of Kiryu’s elbows to raise his arm and rake from his underarm to his hip. 

A snort left him and Kiryu tried to stifle his laughter in his free hand only for Suo to take it from him and repeat the pass on his other side. 

“Hohoholy crAHAHAHAP! STAHA!” Kiryu cried, trying so hard to lean back from Suo he had to step on the chair’s leg to keep it from tipping. “STAHAHahaha! SUOAHA-CHAHAHA! PleHEHE! PLEHEHEHASE!"

“There you go!” Suo grinned, removing his hands and stepping back from him. “All done!”

Kiryu gasped for air, after-giggles leaving him as he looked down at his outfit. Though torturous, the method was effective. 

“What do you think?” Suo asked with the smallest glint of mischief.

“I think,” Kiryu breathed, smirking as he stood. “That if you get more hay on you I’m going to use your method instead.”

“Hmm,” Suo smiled, his gaze narrowing. “I don’t think that will be necessary.”

“Better not get hit with hay then,” Kiryu sang. His phone buzzed and he took it into his hand. “Got another scary one coming.”

“Alright then,” Suo said, turning for their starting point as Kiryu followed behind. 

Kiryu nodded, scrolling through the messages he’d missed. “Lets give them another show!”
