⋆˚🐾Mateo Tkl Headcanons🤍˚⋆
~YES NEXT QUESTION. I love Mateo SO much, he is my Roman Empire. Just finished the love ending with him in the game, so these should be pretty in-character. As always, I hope you Enjoy!~
General:
This soft cutie strikes me as a ler-leaning switch
Now, while he’s not super used to tickles in general, he’s always willing to lend a hand and help brighten your day.
And, of course, this overly self-critical blanket boy could use some cheering up every now and then.
Lee:
Overall, Mateo’s not super ticklish. He's definitely got some spots that'll get him giggling, of course, but they’re limited.
That’s not saying he doesn’t enjoy a good scribble and poke. You just have to work a little harder to get some good reactions out of him.
His laughter is airy and bubbly. It’s that adorable, infectious giggling that you just can’t help but grin at.
If he’s overworking himself with the inanimals, a quick tickle can help to both convince him to rest and lighten his spirits.
Worst spot would be the backs of his knees. Most people don’t think to try there because of his quilted pants, but he’s pretty sensitive to a few pokes behind the knees.
Melt spot would be his stomach. It’s a fun coincidence, the animal lover enjoying some belly scratches, and his reaction is even better. He’ll close his eyes and just giggle, loosely grabbing at your arm or sheepishly covering his mouth. He’s not super ticklish there, but the light giggles are his favorites.
Ler:
He’s the sweetest, most teasing ler in the house
Whether you need cheering up or just want some tickles, Mateo is more than willing to get you giggling
You CANNOT say this boy isn’t a cuddly ler.
He’d pull you into his lap, wrap you up in his jacket, and tickle you to pieces with a smile.
Or, if you’re not up for that much contact, he’ll tease you with each poke and scribble while making sure you’re comfortable.
“You are so ticklish here. It’s pretty cute.”
“Aww, look at that smile. Qué lindo!”
“Was that a snort? Oh no, no hiding now, cariño. I have to hear that again.”
He’d be GODLY with aftercare with how sweet and caring he is.
If you’re comfortable with it, he’ll wrap you up in his jacket for some nice, soothing cuddles. If you’re lucky, an inanimal or two might come over for some extra love.
Either way, he’ll spend some time talking about the latest happenings with the inanimals, sharing some nice stories about adoptions or goofy behaviors. Anything to make you smile as you come down from your tickle-high.
And, of course, he’ll hit up Mitchel Linn and Freddy to see what your favorite snacks are, grab you a nice cool drink, and have a nice rest together

Mateo Manta Tickle Headcanons
Lee —
— A free-sounding, warm laugh is what Mateo Manta has in store for his ler if they were to tickle him. His cheeks will redden, and the sound of giggles and bright, peals of laughter will sound from him. It could almost be equated to the sun.
— Underarms and knees. Those are his two main, weakest spots. Squeeze the back of his knees? Wiggle your fingers across his kneecap? He’s tittering aloud so happily. So freely. He almost sounds like a bird! Getting his underarms make the sweet boy snort before desolving into a fit of bubbly laughter.
— Some honourable mentions go to Mateo’s belly and sides. They’re not as ticklish as those other parts of him, but they still make him laugh as before. He’s so susceptible to tasers/jumper cables, too.
— Mateo is someone who greatly appreciates and loves the people in his life. And as such, he’s incredibly physically affectionate with them — to the point where he’ll cuddle up with his closest, dearest friends without a second thought. And who can’t resort tickling him?
— He definitely has ticklish ears. When the inanimals nuzzle up against his face, their snouts/fur always ends up tickling his poor, sensitive ears. It’s not like Mateo hides it either, really. He has told the little inanimals what they were doing tickles.
— Dolly and Betty like to give Mateo little prods and pokes here and there, and delight in seeing him giggle and laugh at their advances. Sometimes it’s advanced into full on tickle fights, too.
— I don’t see Mateo as much of a struggler/fighter? Most cases, he’s going to melt in the bliss of this playful, soft form of affection. He’ll definitely grab at his ler’s hands and try to move them to another spot, or away from him as a whole. But, it’s not strong enough to fully move their hands away for long.
— Imagine Realised Mateo coming home after a long, long mission, and falling into the arms of his lover. He missed them greatly, and yearned for their touch for so long . Please, please tickle this sweetheart. Cuddle up with him, and gently scribble his sides, or tummy. He needs it.
Ler —
— What an angel of a ler, let me tell you. Mateo doesn’t have an evil bone in his body when he goes on to tickle you.
— In fact, he’s so flustering? Maybe unintentionally teasing when he’s going after someone. For him, this is a bonding activity! This is something that it meant between close people; for them to show affection.
— I like to think that he’d be cuddly and physically affectionate with his significant other, curled up with them on the couch. Maybe on the grass in a picnic, with the other inanimals. And once his hands are in the area of a tickle spot of theirs, he’d gently scribble his fingers across it.
— Mateo isn’t a rough ler, so to say. I don’t think it’d make sense if he was. Instead, he opts for fast, soft tickles, jumping between your ticklish spots to keep you on your toes at least.
— Part of me thinks that Mateo would enjoy tickle games. Not in a competitive sense, or to entirely exert you, but in a way where he can engage in play, while also being able to see the gift that is your laughing, smiling self.
— He often slips between his own, native tongue and English when speaking to you when he wants to gently tease you. Or, in this case, compliment you.
— “Mi amor, your laugh is adorable! Mind if I hear it some more?”
— “Oh, you’re ticklish here? That’s so cute! You’re like a puppy, my love.”
— “Eres tan linda/lindo. Podría hacerte cosquillas para siempre.” <- (my Spanish is so rusty, I hope this makes sense!)
— As a more joking aspect, or if he’s caught up in his utter endearment for you, he’d bring say “who’s a good human? You are! You are!” And then, most likely apologize.
— He’s super big on cuddling you fully after tickling you. Mateo will lay beside you, and wrap your body closer to his. He’d whisper about how cute you are, compliment you immensely, and absolutely smother you with loving words and affection.
Hii if possible may I please ask for tword headcannons for either Chance, Mateo, or Skips? Thank you ^^
yessss :D
I will do all 3 because I love ALL THOSE GUYS ‼️
It'll be Mateo, Skips, then Chance ^-^
I will post them as separate posts, though!!
FIRST: Mateo :D
Mateo Manta Tickle Headcanons
I think that Mateo is a very switchy switch, maybe slightly ler leaning??
very fond of soft, cuddly tickles <3
Ler:
he'd hug you from behind and press a kiss to the side of your neck while softly attacking your sides
you'd be cuddling under his blanket together, watching a movie or reading, and he'd get a sparkle in his eyes that you just know means he's about to get you
he'd sneak up and pounce on you to wrap you in the blanket, while he's still in it, so you're trapped with him while he gently wiggles his fingers over your upper body
"Oh no, can't you try to get out? is the comfiness too strong?"
"your laugh is so cute <3"
he'd definitely pretend he didn't know why you were laughing, acting completely innocent while pinching your tummy
big, wide, innocent eyes, but the biggest grin on his face as he gets you. he just thinks you're so cute when you're laughing like that
he'd just be very, very playful and soft overall, I think ^-^
Lee:
He's not super super tklish, just enough that you can get him giggly. he'd have one or two secret spots to make him laugh out more.
I think he'd like it most on his tummy, because it's not bad enough to be overwhelming, just enough to be fun.
he would have the cutest giggles, with big gaps in-between for him to get air. like, 5 seconds of laughing, 3 seconds of silence while he takes a big breath and tries to hold it in, then more giggling as he fails to hold it in. he tries again to keep holding it after every. single. breath.
this also causes him to snort a lot, since he's trying so hard not to laugh each time.
he would curl in on himself, but he would not try to push you away at all. he isn't shy about liking being tkled.
he'd look up at you with big sparkly eyes and ask you why you stopped if you ever tried to give him a minute to breathe, with the hugest smile on his face, flushed and out of breath but still wanting more <3

Lee: Gender Neutral Reader
Ler: Mateo Manta
Summary: Mateo is showing some of he and Davi’s trick routine to you. Turns out, you have a trick of your own you had worked on with him. After the mischievous outcome, Mateo decides on some rather evil revenge.
Warnings: canon-typical interactions, language, and romantical happenings. This is a tickle fic, so if you don’t like that, scroll away!!
“Aww, good boy, Davi!”
Mateo smiled as Davi rolled over, handing him a small treat. It was dinner time at the shelter, and a few of the more intellectual pets had trick routines they enjoyed. Mateo was more than happy to teach them a few, and you had a front row ticket to the adorable display.
“Hey, wanna see a really cute one?” he asked, grabbing another small treat from the bag. Davi sat attentively in front of you two, eyes trained on the treat as his tail wagged a mile a minute. “Davi, whisper.”
On command, Davi dropped down and let out a quiet “boof” noise. You couldn’t help but coo at the sight and sound of the cuteness before your eyes. “Okay, I love that. You two are so cute.”
“Thanks, love. We’ve been working on that one since Phonecia told me about it.” The sparkle in Mateo’s eyes let you know just how happy he was to hear the praise. You knew he appreciated acknowledgement for all the work he did at the shelter, even if he’d never ask for it.
“Actually, I taught Davi a trick of my own. Wanna see?”
Mateo’s eyes widened, and he immediately nodded. Not only did you listen when he spoke, but you also took up his interests and cared for the inanimals? He was elated. “Of course!”
You suppressed a mischievous grin as you took a treat from Mateo, holding it in front of the inanimal below you. “Alright, Davi, get ‘im!”
Before Mateo could react, your finger was pointed at him, and the fabric pooch was barreling into his chest. Mateo landed safely on the couch, Davi smothering his face with playful licks. Over the chaos of his own laughter and complaints, he could hear you cackling; you were obviously pleased with yourself.
With a small whistle from you, Davi climbs off Mateo and sits beside him, tail thumping against the couch cushions.
“When did you have time to teach him that?” Mateo huffed softly as he wiped his face with his sleeve. He was an interesting mix of impressed and exasperated.
“While you were busy with bath time. Davi’s a very good boy, so it was easy to teach him.” You gave the inanimal some scratches behind his ears, cooing at the adorable reaction you received.
Davi nuzzled his face against Mateo’s shoulder as the blanket man let out a soft scoff. Of course you had used your down time to be mischievous. He couldn't even be surprised. “Why don't you just relax on your breaks?”
“You have zero room to talk about relaxing,” you chided, gently poking his shoulder. You weren’t wrong, either; Mateo definitely needed to work on taking care of himself.
“...touché.”
He rolled his eyes as you giggled, trying to think of a playful way to get back at you. He could’ve trained Davi or one of the other inanimals to mess with you, but some hands-on vengeance seemed like more fun.
Grabbing your hand, Mateo pulled you down onto his lap and wrapped his arms around your waist. Before you could squirm, his blanket cardigan was wrapped around you, trapping you against him.
“Wait, Mateo, baby, love of my life—”
He cut you off with two squeezes to the sides, relishing in the shocked, giddy yelp he pulled from you. “Little late for flattery, cariño.”
You squirmed and shook your head, half-heartedly trying to get away. The tickles were coming, to be sure, but…his hands were just sitting there. No tickles, just holding your sides.
“M-Mateo?”
“What? You said to wait, so I'm waiting.” His fingers gently tapped your sides, tickling just enough to make you smile. It wasn’t enough to do more than tease; you were already dying.
“C’mon, this is mean!” you huffed, trying to break free from Mateo’s blanket cocoon. Little buzzes of anticipatory glee were shooting through your nerves, making your cheeks redden and your ears burn. He was technically doing as you asked, but it was malicious compliance. You regretted being such a menace around him; you had no doubt inspired this silliness.
Mateo tapped on your sides, humming softly to himself. Davi was sitting on the floor in front of the two of you, simply spectating; nobody was coming to save you from your deserved fate.
“Plehease!”
“Please what? I’m not sure what you want, love,” he teased, brushing the tops of your hips with his thumbs. He was being a bit cruel, yes, but he knew you were enjoying yourself. Unless you asked him to, he had no plans to stop.
That had to be bullying. He knew you weren’t going to tell him to stop, yet he was still making you ask. You were so getting back at him later…well, if you made it out of there without your brain melting. “Youhu suck!”
“Oh, I know, I’m so mean and cruel to you.” The playful tone of his voice alone had you blushing, not to mention the little kisses he placed on the back of your neck. “Making you ask for what you want from me. How dare I look for consent.”
“That’s not what I—” You cut yourself off with a squeal as your boyfriend quickly skittered his fingers up and down your sides. It was only a quick second of tickling, but it had you about ready to explode with nervous excitement.
Davi perked up at the sudden noise, tilting his head. His eyes locked with Mateo's in a silent question. The blanket man chuckled softly, his heart warmed by how protective Davi already was over you. “They're fine, Davi. How about you go play with the other inanimals, huh? Shelter.”
At the direction, Davi stretched and got to his paws. He gently butted his head against Mateo's shin before trotting off towards the other inanimals within the shelter, leaving you to your fate.
Once the pooch was gone, Mateo resumed his affectionate bullying.
“I'll be really nice if you ask, cariño. Promise,” he whispered, placing a few loving kisses along your temple. He was being sincere; even though the situation was a bit ridiculous, it still made you feel loved.
With one last whine, you finally caved. “Fihine! Please…tickle me.”
“Aww, there we go. Was that so hard?” With one more little kiss to the corner of your eye, Mateo got to work. His fingers flew up and down your sides, scribbling and fluttering and pinching and poking. For every quick tickle one hand gave you, the other was soft and teasing.
Startled laughter escaped you, erratically switching between giggles, squeaks, yelps, and the occasional plea. The bubbly anticipation in your chest softened, fading to a warm buzz that spread throughout you. You were happy.
“Que lindo, mi corazon. Eres absolutamente adorable,” he cooed, nuzzling his face against the side of your neck. Of course, his fluffy white hair brushed against your skin, only sending more ticklish shocks through your nervous system.
You wriggled and kicked in his lap, unable to hold still. Mateo had absolutely obliterated your control; thanks to his build-up, you were sensitive, giddy, and craving every bullying touch.
Mateo simply held on, occasionally giving your neck a little kiss as he observed the chaotic glee he had caused. Seeing you happy was the highlight of his day. There you were, just spoon-feeding him serotonin, and he couldn't be happier.
As his evil hands reached your hips, you jolted and squealed. He targeted the soft pockets of your hips, knowing you were sensitive there. Curses tumbled past your lips as you lightly smacked his thigh, emptily threatening him.
“Oh, I know, I'm so mean, giving you exactly what you asked for. How dare I?” Mateo couldn't help but chuckle as he continued gently pinching and poking the skin at the joint of your hips. He loved the way it made you squirm and curse, yet still push back against him for more.
You were dying, shaking your head as cackle after gasp after squeal flew past your lips. Any part of you that still had energy to thrash was doing so, trying to distract yourself even slightly from the onslaught of the diabolically ticklish jolts running through your hips.
Of course, you truly couldn't complain: you had waited for your wrecking. You’d earned the fun, even if that meant slowly losing your mind while receiving it.
Mateo’s fingers slowly crept to a different spot. In fact, it was your worst spot; you could feel the ticklish buzzes under your skin slowly getting more intense, the blood in your cheeks beginning to boil with flustered excitement. He knew what he was doing.
“Hmm…how about we go for my favorite spot? This one always makes you laugh so beautifully.”
Yep, you were definitely losing your mind by the end of the silly interaction…
The sun was setting over Brooklyn, casting a warm glow on mateo and izzie's house ' they invited zoey cooper and logan for a.sleepover , Mateo, zoey , Logan, and Cooper were engaged in a heated debate about who was the best at dream crafting. Izzie, lounging on the couch with a bowl of popcorn, watched with amusement as the boys bickered.
“I’m telling you, my Z-Blob design is way cooler than your lame robot!” Mateo exclaimed, crossing his arms defiantly.
“Lame? My robot can fly and shoot lasers!” Logan shot back, his competitive spirit igniting. “You just made a glorified blob!”
Cooper, trying to mediate, added, “Guys, can we just agree that we all have our strengths? Besides, we need to focus on the Nightmare King, not each other.”
But Mateo and Logan were too far gone in their rivalry. “Let’s settle this once and for all,” Mateo proposed, a mischievous glint in his eye. “How about a tickle challenge?”
“A tickle challenge?” Logan raised an eyebrow, intrigued. “What’s that?”
“Simple,” Mateo explained. “We take turns trying to make each other laugh by tickling. The last one standing wins!”
Izzie perked up, “I’m in! This sounds hilarious!”
Logan smirked, “You’re on. But just so you know, I’m not ticklish at all.”
“Yeah, right!” Mateo laughed. “Let’s see about that.”
They quickly set up a makeshift arena in the living room, with pillows scattered around for comfort. Izzie volunteered to be the judge, ready to declare the winner.
“I’ll go!” Mateo declared, pointing at Logan. “Prepare to be defeated!”
Logan sat down, bracing himself as Mateo approached with wiggling fingers. “You think you can make me laugh? Good luck!”
Mateo lunged, fingers dancing across Logan’s sides. To his surprise, Logan erupted into laughter almost immediately. “No! Stop! I’m ticklish!” he gasped between giggles.
“Ha! I knew it!” Mateo laughed, continuing his tickle attack until Logan finally managed to push him away, breathless and defeated.
“Okay, okay! You win this round!” Logan admitted, still chuckling.
Next up was Cooper, who confidently took his place. “You won’t get me that easily,” he said, smirking.
Mateo tried his best, but Cooper was surprisingly resilient. “Is that all you’ve got?” he teased, barely cracking a smile.
Frustrated, Mateo switched tactics and went for Cooper’s ribs. Cooper burst into laughter, squirming away. “Okay, okay! You got me!” he conceded, raising his hands in surrender.
With both Mateo and Logan having won a round, it was time for the final showdown. Logan and Mateo faced off, each determined to claim victory.
“May the best tickler win!” Mateo declared, launching at Logan once more.
The two engaged in a playful battle, laughter filling the room as they tickled each other mercilessly. Izzie cheered them on, her laughter infectious.
And then all 5 of them tickle each other
Finally, after what felt like an eternity of giggles and squirming, both boys collapsed onto the floor, panting and unable to continue. “I think we’re both winners,” Logan said, grinning.
“Agreed,” Mateo replied, still catching his breath. “But I’m definitely the best tickler!”
Izzie laughed, “You guys are ridiculous! But this was the best idea ever.”
As they lay there, the rivalry momentarily forgotten, the Dream Chasers realized that sometimes, laughter was the best way to strengthen their bonds. They might be rivals, but they were also friends, ready to face whatever challenges awaited them in the Dream World together.
Logan Cooper and Mateo Garcia were excited for their sleepover at Logan's house. The evening began with the two friends setting up a cozy space in Logan's room, complete with blankets, pillows, and their favorite snacks. They chatted about everything from school to their latest adventures in the Dream World, their laughter echoing through the house.
As the night wore on, the atmosphere shifted from casual conversation to playful mischief. Logan, known for his spontaneous ideas, suddenly suggested they have a tickle fight. Mateo's eyes lit up with excitement, and he quickly agreed, knowing that this would be a night to remember.
The Tickle Fight
The two friends dove into the pile of pillows, giggling uncontrollably. Logan, with his quick reflexes, managed to sneak up on Mateo, launching a surprise tickle attack. Mateo shrieked with laughter, squirming away but not fast enough to escape Logan's grasp.
"Okay, okay! No more!" Mateo gasped between fits of laughter, but Logan was relentless, tickling him under the arms and on his sides.
Just then, Cooper, who had been quietly observing, decided to join in on the fun. He leaped onto the bed, targeting Logan with his own tickle assault. The room was filled with the sounds of laughter and playful protests as the three friends engaged in a full-blown tickle war.
The Aftermath
Eventually, they collapsed in a heap, breathless and giggling. The tickle fight had brought them closer, creating a memory they would cherish. As they lay there, they shared stories and secrets, the bond of friendship deepening with each laugh.
The night ended with them drifting off to sleep, dreams filled with adventures in the Dream World, knowing that their friendship was as strong as ever.
This sleepover was not just about fun; it was a celebration of their friendship, filled with laughter, joy, and the simple pleasure of being together.
