Prompt: Sakura’s never played Smash Bros in his life. How did he get so damn good in an hour?!
“Aaaaaand this is going to help us bond… how?” Sakura mumbled, leaning against his empty kitchen counter.
“Everyone can use company, Sakura!” Nirei cooed, placing down a bag of groceries onto the countertop. “Besides, we all figured that you were super lonely when you were sick, so we’re here to un-lonely you!” He pulled his blonde strands into a teeny-tiny little ponytail at the top of his head.
“Some things just aren’t able to be helped, Little Sakura,” Suo hummed, putting a soft hand on his head.
The half-and-half boy, in turn, growled, shaking the redhead’s hand off. “I’m not little! We’re the same age!”
Hiragi and Umemiya were the next to arrive to Sakura’s… quaint apartment. Hiragi was awkwardly carrying a television through the door? Umemiya held up a Switch, and suddenly things made sense.
They were going to play video games… wicked.
“Heyyyyyy, kiddos!” Umemiya chirped, placing the gaming console on the ground next to the TV. One by one, with a very dad-like grunt, he would pick up the boys in a tight hug.
Nirei was mid-slice of carrots when he was hugged from behind and hoisted. He giggled like a child. “Umemiya! Careful!”
“What’cha cookin’, kid?” the older male inquired, setting the boy down and draping himself across his shoulders.
“Making yakisoba for all of us.”
“Ooooh. Sounds yummy,” he hummed. “And look at you with your hair up! The ladies would just be all over you!” Umemiya made cooing sounds as he pinched at Nirei’s ears, resulting in flustered giggles from the blonde.
Suo was next. As he helped Hiragi set up the gaming system, he was suddenly scooped like a bride. He subconsciously kicked his feet with a tiny gasp. “Hello, Umemiya.”
“Suoooooooo. You’ve been taking care of yourself, right, kid? Not just worried about everyone else, yeah?”
The redhead sighed dismissively. “I’ve got to get this hooked up if we want to play games.”
“That’s not what I asked you.”
“I—“ he exhaled with that polite smile of his. “Of course I have; it’s just that sometimes, others need my help more than I need rest.”
“Oh! My dear pupil! You wound me so!” The oldest cried out. He cradled Suo to his chest like a baby, gently humming the lullaby song to him.
Sakura scowled. What a dork
That scowl was replaced by a rather manly yelp when he was swept off of his feet and thrown over Umemiya’s shoulder like a sack of potatoes. “Put me down!” he cried. When the white-haired male began to spin him, he pounded his fists against his back. “Umemiya!”
Hiragi huffed with a grin. “Alright, Umemiya, put the kid down.”
“Awwww! But why?!”
“First, he looks nauseous as shit. Second, we got the console set up.”
With a groan from the older male, Sakura was back on his feet. He sat down next to Suo with a huff and crossed his arms. When Suo patted his head, he shot him a glare.
“Hey, Sakura,” Hiragi hummed, “Y’ever play Smash Bros?”
“Heard of it,” he replied. “Never actually played it.” The boys turned to look at him as if he were a space alien. Even Nirei looked up from his vegetable chopping to gape at him. “What?” he asked, confused by their incredulous looks. His patience shortly wore thin. “Okay, what?! Is it like some rite-of-passage game? I bet you’ll shit yourselves when I tell you that I can’t play chess either!”
Suo turned to him with a Cheshire grin. “Now, young Sakura, we are going to teach you the ways of the gamer.”
The boy snorted. “Oh yeah, sure. Like I need to know how to wear the same hoodie for five days straight and shower once every two months.”
Hiragi snorted at that, clapping a heavy hand on Sakura’s shoulder. “Nah, kid. This is just like the party game ever.”
“Wrong,” Nirei called from the kitchen; he hadn’t even turned to look at them, as he was caramelizing onions on the stove. “The party game ever is Mario Party.”
“Wrong again,” Umemiya chimed. “Wii Sports is the way to go.”
“Absolutely not,” argued Suo. “The best one is totally Carnival Games.”
There was a collective groan from all of the boys except Sakura. Hiragi scoffed. “Do you want someone to throw a book at you?”
“Barker is SUCH a bitch, dude!” Nirei cried. There was a subsequent, loud sizzle from the pan in the kitchen.
“Careful now, don’t singe your eyebrows off,” Suo hummed.
Sakura felt like he was missing something again…
A small controller was put into his hand. It was blue, and it had four buttons and a joystick. How simple…
“So, first, you pick who you want to be,” Umemiya hummed, taking a seat next to the boy. “My favorite to play is Kirby. He’s a little hard to get used to because of the timing.”
“Teach him to play Pikachu. He’s like the easiest,” Hiragi mused.
“No way! Teach him to be Lucas! That’s my main!” Nirei chirped. Sakura couldn’t help but grin when the blonde sneezed. At least the food was getting seasoned.
“Of course you play Lucas,” Suo grumbled.
“And who do you two main?” Nirei huffed, stirring the contents of the pan.
“Palutena, duh,” Hiragi reported proudly.
Suo sat next to Umemiya, putting the oldest male in the middle. “Sora main here.”
“Booooo DLC player!” the silver-haired male chided, wrapping his arm around the boy’s neck. “Pay-to-win, Pay-to-win!” he cooed.
Suo’s visible eye rolled, and he snorted. “Paying only gets me the character. It’s the skill that sells it.”
“I wanna be this guy!” Sakura interrupted. “He looks cool.” Hovering his “P2” icon over the character, the boy looked at the rest of the group.
Hiragi gaped at him. “You wanna be…”
“Mister Game and Watch…?” Suo asked.
“What’s wrong with him?!” The half-and-half boy barked, a blush creeping onto his face. “He’s so cool! He’s old-fashioned gaming!”
Umemiya grinned at him. “You’re right. He’s based off of the first ever Nintendo console, the Game and Watch. He was the first video game character to ever exist.”
Sakura’s eyes lit up. “I wanna play him!”
“Game and Watch it is,” Umemiya hummed.
The boys showed Sakura the ropes, and as expected, the young man greatly enjoyed himself. What they were not expecting was how fast he excelled.
“How the hell did you take two stock already?!” Hiragi yelped, fiddling with his joystick in a panic.
“His down smash demolishes. And I can edgeguard with neutral B,” the boy chimed.
“You talk like you’ve been playing this game for years,” Nirei noted.
“Your noodles are boiling over,” Hiragi grumbled at the sound of the bubbling pot.
Game after game, Sakura continued to absolutely destroy his friends in the game. Not a single one of them could defeat him. Even after changing characters, the half-and-half male still managed to steal stock after stock from them.
Now, it was him against Suo for a final deathmatch. Infinite stocks, 10 minutes time, total chaos.
Umemiya watched the screen with a delighted, soft smile. His baby brothers were really getting along, and it warmed his heart to see Sakura enjoying himself.
Delighted and frantic war cries filled the room. They were neck and neck. When one person would take a stock, the other would match it. Each boy was giving it his all, and both were at a stalemate within the first minute.
Soon, Sakura had the up on Suo, and Umemiya was truthfully getting tired of the same narrative over and over again.
Experimentally, he poked a single finger against Sakura’s foot. The boy merely twitched, curling his toes up. When they un-scrunched, he waited for Sakura to charge up a strong attack before he skittered his fingers over it.
“What are you— ngh! D-Doing?!” he yelped, jerking his foot away.
“Nothin’!” chirped the older boy.
“Don’t screw with me. I’m about to beat Suo’s ass!”
“Hardly! We’re one stock apart from each other!” the redhead argued.
“Boys! Don’t argue,” the white-haired male chided. “You’re both the winners in my heart!”
Sakura made a gagging noise, and Suo’s visible eye rolled. Umemiya glared at the two before sneaking a pinch to Suo’s side and a squeeze to Sakura’s kneecap.
For Suo, his response was a small jolt and a death glare.
Sakura on the other hand…
“DON’T!” he exploded, yanking his knee away. His features softened when he realized everyone stopped to stare at him. “S’just a sensitive part of me… Don’t touch it; that’s all.”
Sensitive, hm? He’s sensitive there… Now, Umemiya was not born last night. What Sakura needed to say, but was unable to, is that he was ticklish there. His knees are not sensitive; they’re ticklish.
“Ah, I see,” Umemiya hummed. “You’re ticklish,” he informed bluntly.
Sakura let out a strangled squeak when he was pinched again. “I— I am not!”
“Are.”
“Not!”
“Aaaaare!”
“Nohohohohot!”
Suo grinned evilly when the oldest’s fingers continuously prodded around the half-and-half boy’s right knee.
“Dohohohon’t tihihihickle mehehehehe!”
“Don’t tickle you? But Sakura, you just said you weren’t ticklish! Why would you mind?”
Despite the handicap of his knee being squeezed, Sakura still managed to keep his lead through giggles and jolts of his body. He couldn’t help but blush deeper when he noticed Hiragi watching him with a sweet grin. He was down to the final minute; he could do this!
“Stay on it, kid! It would be a cryin’ shame if you were to… lose focus.” Umemiya’s hands traveled up to squeeze at Sakura’s thighs, his touch unrelenting. “Don’t lose it!”
“Gngh— bahahahastahahahard! Nohohohoho!” he squealed, squirming.
“Hmmm… I thought you weren’t ticklish, Sakura?” the oldest cooed. “This is such an oddity. I wonder what’s happening.”
“Dohohohohon’t! Stahahahahap!”
“Don’t stop? Oh, so you want to lose? Is this like a… giving up control thing? Y’know, my therapist says—“
“Nohohohoho!” Sakura’s character splatted against the screen, and a pillar of lightning followed. He had lost a stock, damn it! “Stohohohop dihihihistrahahahactihihihing mehehehe! Bahahahastard!”
“Sounds like a skill issue, Little Sakura,” Suo cooed, poking the boy in the side.
“Ughhhhh! Stahahahap ihihihit! Yohohohou two suhuhuhuck!” Sakura whined. His laughter grew in pitch when he felt skittering fingers on his foot
Hiragi was grinning evilly, his free hand around the half-and-half boy’s ankle, his other hand tickling his foot with precision. Now within the final seconds of the match, the boys were tied. Suo had the upper hand because of this cheating! But Sakura was determined to keep his streak alive. He focused his attention into a down smash slam… followed by a side B—
“NAHAHAHAHA! DOHOHOHOHON’T!” he cried. Umemiya’s squeezing hands traveled up to his ribs and prodded around. “NONONONONOHOHOHOHOHO!”
The oldest smiled beamingly. “Don’t lose, kid! Keep it going!”
“That little shit.” Suo grumbled. He tossed his controller to the side and tackled the giggling Sakura to the floor—though, there wasn’t very far for him to travel. Umemiya and Hiragi let go with surprised chuckles. “So, Little Sakura, how’d you manage to cheat?”
“Cheat?! It was you three cheating! I could’ve easily whooped your ass into next Sunday if you weren’t t-tick… t-tickl—distracting me!”
“Ohhhh, distracting you, hm?” the redhead teased. “Don’t you mean tickling you?”
“I see; I see,” Hiragi hummed. “He was mad that we tickled him.”
“Oohoohoo!” Umemiya cooed. “Little Sakura can’t handle the word tickle!”
“I guess so. Look at how red he gets when we say the world tickle around him,” Suo observed.
The white-haired male couldn’t help but giggle at Sakura’s increasing blush. “Mhm. Mhm. How curious… I’m just tickled by this information.
“Shut up; shut up; shut up!” The boy whined. “You three are terrible! Nirei’s my only friend now!”
The blonde let out a little cheer from the kitchen.
“What I think is that you need to tell us how you managed to get so good in only an hour,” Hiragi said with a death glare.
Suo’s hold on him got a bit tighter. “We have our ways.”
Hold on… Were they gonna hurt him…?! They were just having fun and being—
“Relax,” the redhead whispered as he held Sakura’s arms over his head. He shifted to sit on his hands. “We would never hurt ya’, Little Sakura.”
Before he could relax, Suo dug into his underarms without mercy. “WAITWAITWAIT NAHAHAHAHAO! NOHOHOHOT THEHEHEHERERE!” he squealed, kicking his legs.
Umemiya grabbed onto his knees and squeezed both of them, cooing at him. “Ooooh tickle tickle tickle, kiddo! You’re so precious!”
As if he couldn’t have been more embarrassed! A blush formed at his neck as he screamed in laughter.
“GUHUHUHUYS!”
Suo smiled sweetly at him: a rare, genuine sight. “Hmm?”
“IHIHIHIT TIHIHIHICKLEHEHEHES!”
“I’m sure it does,” the redhead chimed. “Why, I’d be down for the count if I was being tickled riiiiight here!” Giving the half-and-half boy a break by moving his fingers to his neck.
In turn, Sakura’s laughter died to gentle giggling once more, as Umemiya had picked up on the signal and moved down to run his fingers up and down the boy’s calf. He wriggled slightly, his body merely twitching in response.
“You’ve been carrying so much on your shoulders… Why don’t you just lay back and laugh for a while?” Suo’s whispered voice in his ear caused a warm vibration to spread from his head to his toes. His blush spread to his ears and face now.
He nodded.
The redhead shot Hiragi a knowing look, and soon enough, there were skittering fingers on Sakura’s feet again.
The half-and-half boy lay there giggling like a child. His eyes were squeezed shut in mirth, and his body jittered from the tickly feeling. Daresay, he was… enjoying it. The gentle treatment went on for minutes, and his giggling was rather cheerful.
At least, until Umemiya decided that he had had enough of a break.
Sakura felt Suo getting off of his wrists, the other murmuring something about “not wanting to trap him.” As he went to sit up, to curse out his friends, he was pushed back to the floor with a heavy weight on his hips.
“So… you gonna tell us how you did it?” asked the eldest, a terrifying calmness on his face.
Giggles started flooding out of him like routine. His hands, now free—albeit trembling—shot up to grip his senior’s wrists.
The two held intense eye contact until Umemiya’s lips curled into a sweet smile. “Oh, kid. You’re just too cute.”
And then, Sakura felt two hands on his sides and tummy like lightning. He didn’t even get a chance to react! His hips bucked upward as a strangled yelp left his lips, all before he dissolved into sweet laughter. “Nohohohoho!”
“Oh, yes. See, when the head of Bofurin asks you a question, Sakura, it’d be wise of you to answer,” Suo chirped, sitting cross-legged with that patient, polite smile of his.
The half-and-half boy couldn’t even keep his grip on Umemiya’s wrists, especially not when they traveled up to his ribs. Sakura’s laughter grew in volume, his tummy quivering in the cold air as his shirt rode up.
Innocently, Suo’s two fingers crept up his side like walking limbs. They strolled along his sides and traced torturous circles along the bare skin before pinching around his belly button. The boy tossed his head back and cackled loudly when a finger dipped inside.
“Such stamina,” Hiragi praised. “I wonder what’ll make you crack.”
“I know,” Umemiya chirped, “but our little friend here is enjoying himself; I can tell; best not to tucker him out so fast!”
And all good things, as beautiful and sweet; as torturous and breath-stealing; as giddy and exciting as they may be, must come to an end. Despite his enjoyment, it would be Haruka Sakura who would end his own merriment.
“Ihihihi cahahahan tahahahake ihihihit!”
Tsk tsk tsk… poor baby.
So confident…
All of that confidence melted away when Umemiya’s hands shot up under Sakura’s arms without warning. His back arched off the ground and thrashed madly, trying to escape. The white-haired male’s fingers followed wherever he would attempt, leaving no opportunity for escape.
Suo continued his soft treatment of the boy’s stomach, utilizing gentle prods and tracing over anything else. As the tummy beneath his fingers would jolt and twitch, he’d only smile, resting his cheek on Sakura’s lower ribs. One finger turned to two hands raking around the sensitive skin.
“Uuuup, and dooooown, and aaaaalll arooooound. Only the softest touch for my Little Sakura.~” he cooed.
Meanwhile, Sakura could barely think. The back of his head was glued to the floor while his back arched up. Umemiya’s weight on his hips rendered him immobile, with his arms free but just shy of stopping Suo’s torturous caresses. He could form no thoughts in his mind; he could move no limb to protest. He could scream his head off as his blush swallowed his whole face.
“Hmm… That redness looks quite serious, Suo, my friend. What are your thoughts?” inquired Umemiya, not ceasing his tickling for a second.
“Mhm, I agree… he’s far too flushed to continue for long,” mused the redhead. “Say, Umemiya, would you arch your back upward for me? Make a little room, please.” When his senior obliged, Suo smiled that calm, patient grin. “Now, Sakura, I know you can’t hear me right now, as you’re being far too noisy—for reasons I’m totally unsure of—but I think it’s time for myself to show our upperclassmen how to solve a problem. Don’t you?”
Belly laughter was the answer he received.
“Now… what to do…” he drummed his fingers along the warm, bare skin of the boy’s tummy. “Ah! Yes, naturally. Here we go!” With a deep breath, Suo ducked his head down and blew a raspberry onto Sakura’s skin.
“OHOHOHOHO SHIHIHIHIHIHIT! NOHOHOHOHOHO!”
“Ah! Umemiya, he seemed to enjoy it. Please arch upward once again!” Another breath, another raspberry.
“SHITSHITSHITSHIT! SHIHIHIHIT! FUHUHUHUCK!”
“Such a rotten mouth!” Umemiya cried out, honing in on Sakura’s underarms with a bit more fervor. He looked down evilly at the boy—a side which Sakura had seen only once before. A simple command was given to him; one that he would be able to ignore for a few good minutes. “Crack.”
And yet, nothing. Sakura’s screams of laughter were merely background noise for the tiny apartment.
“OHOHOHOHO MY GOHOHOHOHOD! SHIHIHIHIT!” Accompanied Hiragi’s attempt to study the controllers better.
“NOHOHOHOHO! BAHAHAHASTARDS! HYEAHAHAHAHAHA!” Was a sweet symphony to join Nirei’s plating of their meal.
The two continued their ruthless attack on the younger boy. Despite his hot blush, the intensity of their tickling, and the duration, Sakura still was going on strong. Umemiya ought to be the one to put his baby brother to bed after as an apology.
Raspberry after raspberry, Suo continued without mercy. His repetition led him to an experiment of sorts: berries toward the sides and hips were less ticklish, while berries toward the ribs and atop of the belly button were the most. He breathed in heavy for another one until he heard a frantic plea.
“OHOHOHOHO FUHUHUHUCK! NOHOHOHO MOHOHOHOHORE!”
He sighed, sitting up. However, Sakura was still hoarse with merriment. “Umemiya.”
When Umemiya’s fingers came to a halt, and Sakura’s upper body fell backwards, Suo was there to catch him. He gently pat the boy’s back as he caught his breath, subsequently snaking his hand under Sakura’s white top to rub the warm skin of his back.
“Just breathe, Sakura. Don’t speak; just breathe,” Suo soothed in a whisper.”
Umemiya’s fingers started to gently brush through his hair. “Shit, kid— Haruka, I’m so sorry.”
“S’okay… had… lots’a… fun…” rasped the boy.
A delicious smell of meat and veggies entered their noses, and a huge bowl of Yakisoba was soon prepared on the counter.
“Eat up,” Nirei hummed. “Get his strength back up.”
The half-and-half boy was gently shook, but he only groaned, clinging onto Suo’s free arm. Hiragi huffed with a fond grin, bringing back an extra plate for Suo, while Umemiya did the same for Sakura.
The five boys shared their meal in total delight. Sakura stayed glued to Suo for a good five minutes, eyes shut—at least until he realized that he was snuggled up to the redhead, then he promptly shot up like a spring, his blush creeping back. It was at this point where he would begin his meal.
After food was shared, Hiragi offered to clean up, while Umemiya offered to wash the dishes. While the two older men completed their cleaning, the Switch was booted back up. Nirei quickly loaded into the game and selected his main fighter. He took his hair out of the ring ponytail… Business…
And finally, throughout a day full of losses and revenge, Haruka Sakura was at last defeated.
Game and Watch: Many
Lucas: 1
Nirei’s laughter would bounce off of the walls of the flat soon after, Sakura’s following in hot pursuit. Suo’s soft giggles would follow along his tickling fingers. A smile of true joy at Nirei’s adorable snorts would form on his lips.
Umemiya couldn’t help but smile at the sight and sound of his baby brothers’ delight.
Congrats on your milestone Fabi 🥳🍾 You deserved all of them~ I thought that I'll try my luck as well. After the recent chapter of Wind Breaker left us with so many questions, how about something with lee!Nirei and ler!Suo? (Or switch? Whatever works best for you) These two are gonna shine in the upcoming chapters, I just know it. 🙈 Thanks a lot in advance~
MAAAAAAX
Omg thank you so much for stopping by! Means a lot to me as you're here since the veeery start adkshdks may this little piece bring you joy aaand a fantastic debut for your upcoming project! ~
"Hmmm," Suo cocked his head to the side, a hand to his chin as he thought about the question. After a few seconds, he smiled playfully. "Are you sure you're not getting any ideas from a movie?"
"I-I'm not!" Nirei insisted, stomping a little to defend his stance. If anyone would know about this, it would be Suo! And if anyone would teach him about it, it had to be Suo! "Are you sure you don't know? Maybe you just didn't know the name!"
Suo shook his head and Nirei sighed. "Well, vital points are a thing and you can aim for them if you're in trouble, but… isn't it more effective to just push someone instead? You can get in trouble if you miss the target."
Nirei pouted, knowing it would be hard to argue back. While it wasn't from a movie, he did read about it in a sports magazine's article. 'Win a fight in just three strikes' or something along those lines, featuring an interview with a medal-winner fighter. The concept sounded simple: 'just aim where it hurts', but could he execute it?
Seeing how Nirei was merely a few thoughts from start to spiraling into theories, Suo clapped his hands together and caught the other guy's attention. "Should we try it out? I think it's easier to understand the flaws if we put them to practice. Maybe I can help you figure it out, at least."
!!!
Those were the words he wanted to hear!
Nirei stood back up, his energy seemingly spiking up again after Suo agreed. Well, technically, he didn't, but it was something better than no practice at all. "Ready?!" Nirei huffed, holding his fists up.
Suo smiled and nodded, one of his hands held behind his back. Nirei understood the call and lunged forward. For a split of a second, he remembered the list written in the article: the temples, eyes, ears… remembering this should do it. He swung his arm, aiming for the side of Suo's head and—
"HYAhahah?!" Nirei gasped, his arm quickly coming down to wrap around his side. He rubbed the spot below his ribs, trying to soothe the sudden ticklish feeling that made him jump. "S-Suo-san?!"
"Yes?" Suo smiled, still holding out his hand in place with two fingers extended out. A precise, deadly and ticklish strike. "Would you like to try one more time?"
Nirei looked at his hand, then down to his side, confused. "D-did you just tickle me?"
"Of course not," Suo explained, finally relaxing his stance and standing back on his feet again, "people just happen to be more sensitive around their vital points. I guess it just happened to tickle."
"I-I see," Nirei nodded. It made sense, after all. One would want to protect themselves where they were weak, but… did Suo make his hit too light on purpose? "One more time, please!" He asked, getting ready and already going for Suo again. This time he should—
"AHAh— S-Suo-san!" Nirei giggled, a little too loud to his own surprise. He let out a small groan, not even waiting before trying another offensive again. Poke after poke, maybe he would learn a thing or two at the right time…
A/N: It had been a while, but we're finally back in the game. I'm happy to announce that @lovelynim and I finished our 27th collab today. This time we decided for the trio you can see above. Sakura was just the perfect person to be a lee so we couldn't help ourselves. We you will enjoy this story just as much as we do~
Summary: Sakura learns a new side of himself and his friends decide to mess with him a bit.
Words: 3,856 words under the cut
Sakura hissed slightly as he rubbed his left side. The little clash he had with these damn punks while patrolling the streets had him left with more scratches than expected. He bit his lip as he thought back of their cowardness, attacking a girl that was just passing by, which caused the condition he was in right now.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been hurt by those lowlifes. "Sakura... does it still hurt?" He didn't even have to look up to know who this voice belonged to. Nirei was eying him with a worried expression, holding a little first-aid kit in his hands. Suo was standing behind him, eying him with concern as well. The dual-haired blushed a bit and looked away.
"…‘m fine, it doesn’t hurt at all," he mumbled, feeling a sudden sting again that made him groan. Both Nirei and Suo sighed at the sight, knowing this wasn’t something that could be helped normally. Without saying a word, the two guys approached their class’ leader, with Nirei quickly taking the spot before the chair Sakura was sitting on.
“I told you it doesn’t hurt,” Sakura insisted, but ended up not resisting when Nirei held him by one of his ankles, rolling up the hem of his pants up to his knee and exposing the bruised skin. Sakura clicked his lips, looking away. Suo chuckled, standing next to Sakura and tilting his head a bit as he looked down to the bruised leg.
“There is nothing to be ashamed of~ Didn’t you take those three all by yourself? And you came out of it with just a couple bruises. That’s our captain for you.” "S-S-Shut up..." Sakura mumbled, feeling his face heating up due to the compliment, "of course I did... that's my duty after all."
He had mumbled the second part almost inaudible, but the words didn't go unnoticed by them and Sakura avoided his eyes when he caught Suo smiling at him. "...Anyway, let's go back to-" he wanted to get up but remained seated when Nirei glared up at him.
"We can't do this Sakura, we still need to take care of that..." the blonde insisted and brushed his fingertips carefully over his knee, caressing the wounded skin. "Let me at least disinfect it. The action made the other twitch and a cough-like sound left his lips, that caught his friends' attention. "Sakura...?"
“It’s nothing,” he spoke in a rush, his hands clenching at the edge of his seat while he pressed his back against the chair’s rest, “just- just get over with it.” Nirei nodded, opening the first-aid kit and picking the needed tools and medicine for it.
Sakura would probably have managed to end that conversation at that exact moment, with Nirei soon starting to tend to his wounds with no other pesky question or inconvenient doubts, if it wasn’t for the guy standing next to him.
That sudden flinch and the way Sakura’s lips pressed into a thin line didn’t go unnoticed by such an attentive eye and, just like Nirei, Suo just wished to see their captain well again. “Careful, Nirei,” Suo added, his tone gentle, “Sakura’s knee seems a bit sensitive.”
“I-I told you it doesn’t hurt,” Sakura insisted with a small pout on his lips, looking over his shoulder to give Suo a wary glance. Something about that made shivers go down his spine, but just when he was about to add another comment to that matter, Nirei’s fingers pressed a little too close to the back of his knee, making Sakura jump in his place.
Suo chuckled, placing one hand on Sakura’s shoulder to make him sit back still. “Well, hurting or not, you can’t be moving while Nirei is patching you up.” Sakura stared up at his grinning friend, feeling the pressure of his hand on his shoulder. It wasn't uncomfortable, but strong enough to make it harder for him to get up.
He let out a sigh before he looked back at the blonde, nodding. “I’ll be careful, please relax Sakura…” Nirei had waited for his approval to continue, though he could already guess why he had twitched just now... A lot of the guys in class were ticklish and he even had an extra section in his character profiles for it. Still... Sakura is ticklish?!
The thought alone made Nirei want to explore his new-found information, but he had to hold back... well, just a bit wouldn't hurt, right? He traced a single finger over the back of his calf, before poking it into his knee pit again. The reaction was even stronger this time and Sakura let out a surprised gasp. "WhAHt tehE?! What did you just do?" he asked.
The sensation felt strange and it made his inside tingle. What was wrong with him? Nirei open and closed his mouth a few times, not sure what to say. Doesn’t he know? He wondered. Before he could excuse his doings, Suo gently pushed Sakura back into his chair.
“Sakura, it’s just some medicine. We won’t need to tie you up for that, right?” he teased, making their class leader pout and blush a little. Still, it felt weird, enough to make it impossible for Sakura to just relax.
Stiffening his muscles and filling his body with tension, Sakura watched Nirei’s fingers holding his leg by the calf while his other hand slowly and carefully worked on his bruises. He should be nervous because of the pain, not because… of that weird, funny feeling.
“Sakura,” Suo called, playfully, “if it’s not hurting, why are you so nervous? You look like a scared kitten right now,” he teased, lightly poking at the spot between Sakura’s neck and collarbone, making the guy squeal and jump on his seat again. “Oh, wait, are you ticklish? I had no idea.”
"I'm- nghGh I'm noHot a- Pffft... stoHOp thaHahat!" Sakura stuttered, as he scrunched his shoulders up and bent his head a bit to the side to block his invading finger. Again, he could feel this strange feeling that forced him to giggle. How could a touch feel so gentle? How was a touch aimed not to hurt, but to feel... nice?
He didn't know. It just didn’t make any sense to him and maybe that said more about him than the others. It wouldn’t be the first time that he was an outcast in any context. Sakura shook these thoughts away when he heard Suo's sweet poison-laced voice next to his ear. "...What wrong Sakura, too ticklish to answer?"
"WhahAht... WhAht's thAht eHeven meHean?" he asked, not familiar with the word. Ticklish? What was that supposed to be? An illness? Nirei's ears perked up at his friend's comment and he felt his chest sting a bit. So he was right. His hand gave his knee a gentle squeeze, earning his attention. "...You... You really don't know what tickling is?"
While there was no formal answer to that question, something about Sakura’s confused face must have given it away to Nirei. As expected as something like this would be, it still surprised him to some major degree.
Just as Sakura was about to ask, Suo slid his hands down Sakura’s back and wormed his fingers under both his arms, prodding at the sensitive spot under both sides. “This is tickling, Sakura~” he giggled, amused. “H-HEHey!” Sakura squealed, his free leg kicking up while he pressed his elbows against his side.
“Now, we could give you a proper demonstration, but you’re in so much pain that it’s better to get you treated fir-” Sakura growled, with a wobbly smile on his lips. He looked over his shoulder, even more tense than before. “I-I’m not hurting, dahamn ihit,” he snarled, almost challenging.
“Hmmm, is that so?” Suo chuckled, looking down to Sakura’s crooked expression and then at Nirei’s expectant eyes, as if the latter was just waiting for his words. Their eyes met, and as if they had a sudden, unspoken, mutual agreement, Nirei's eyes began to shine. Yosh!
His hands moved quickly and while one hand was carefully embracing Sakura's leg, his free hand wiggled around his bare knee, beginning to tickle him seriously. Suo followed his friend’s example right away, smir- ahem grinning from ear to ear as he began to squeeze up and down Sakura's sides, wiggling his hands into the sensitive area. This is gonna be fun!
"Since you're not, let us show you what it truly means~" "PffFtt- ehEhhEheheh! WhAhat's h-hahppeHEneniIHhing?!" The dual-haired was at loss of words. He didn't even have time to react before his friends were touching him again. Their fingers pressed and wiggled over his body and he couldn't do anything against it.
His lips trembled and the first bits of laughter came out of them. Was that his laughter? It had been a long time since he heard it... and strange as it was, he didn't hate it. Still… this tickling made it hard to focus on anything else. "AhHahhaahah g-gehEht your h-h-hHAhands off!" He felt his face heating up, a deep blush already spreading over his face.
"You're so ticklish Sakura and your laugh is really adorable~" Nirei commented, sucking up his friend's expression and made mental notes to add all he was witnessing right now in his notebook for future references. Unlike Nirei, Suo didn't seem to be so impressed with this so-called discovery.
Truth to be told, he already had suspected it before and his theory was just proving itself to be right. “So, what do you get it now? We can go on it you need some more help to understand it.” Sakura whined between his giggles.
His arms pressed shut against his sides, trying to stop Suo's hands from exploring and torturing his nerves, while he kicked his feet around Nirei, trying to dislodge Nirei's hands from his sensitive knees. The tickling made it hard to think, to know how to react. Somehow, fighting seemed to be easier, to be something more controllable than being tickled.
Sakura shook his head, these thoughts leaving his mind almost at the same pace as giggles left his mouth. “E-EHEHehnohough!! AhHAHAh, yohohou two cahahn stohohop!”
"But I don't want to! I've never seen you smile yet alone laugh before, Sakura..." Suo teased, not even thinking about stopping it. "Besides, I can't move my hands away when you clench your arms like this. Say, Sakura, do you really want us to stop?" he wondered out aloud.
His hands, still being "trapped" wiggled upwards and Sakura could suddenly feel ten fingers attacking his armpits. A new wave of tingles flooded his body and he laid his head back, pressing it against Suo's chest while loud chortles left his mouth. "HahAhhhahahHAHH! N-NoOHohohho thAht’s- waAhahhAhH!"
Nirei was watching the playful back and forth between his friends and decided to switch spots as well, his curiosity getting the better of him. Carefully pulling down Sakura's rolled up trouser leg, he moved his potion a bit. Squatting in front of him, he began to poke his belly, using both hands to keep both himself and Sakura in position.
"AhHhAhahahhA! WhAhHAt, noOHhohot thEhehre!" The dual-haired’s reaction followed right away and Nirei felt how he tried to suck in his stomach, which only made the tickling more effective. Should he do it? His cheeks turned a bit red as well as he thought about it. He really wanted to tease him as well.
The blonde watched Sakura’s smile, his happy expression, unusual but not unwelcomed. He knew that if Sakura really wanted to, he could break free any time, but seeing him accepting it, letting them see this side of him, trusting them… it made Nirei truly happy and feel warm inside and he came to a conclusion. Yes, he should do it.
He took a deep breath before he began to chant "Coochie coochie coo~" while squeezing his lower sides playfully. “Pfft…” Suo scoffed quietly from behind, unable to hold back his reaction and keep his facade. For a moment, he even forgot to keep tickling Sakura under his arms, making him squeal loudly when the tickling suddenly resumed with full strength.
“S-Suo?” Nirei chirped, digging into Sakura's sides as he looked past the laughing mess between him and Suo. “Don't worry, I just found it really cute! You sounded adorable just now,” Suo nodded, resisting the urge to laugh again when Nirei's brain seemed to short circuit for a moment, “can you do it again?”
“N-No!” He pouted, taking out his frustration on Sakura's stomach. “It- It was for Sakura! Not you! And I-” “GUHUHUYS!! AHAHhaha, plehEHEHEASE!!” Sakura shrieked, surprised with his own reactions, but unable to help it as being tickled while being ignored was proving to be worse than having his friends’ attention.
It was as if the sensations felt more intensive, more ticklish and Sakura wished that they would've just continued to talk to him instead of just tickling him while casually talking with each other. Wait... why didn't he want them to stop? The dual-haired shook his head. The sensations were giving him strange ideas and he didn't know why.
He hadn't even realized that Nirei had stopped the tickling upon hearing the word "please". However, his hands still remained where they were and were now gently rubbing over his belly which still tickled a bit but was much better than before. He could handle that much.
"Ohh sorry, Sakura. Are you alright? We didn't go overbo-" "SuHush iHit!" Sakura panted, taking in some well-needed breaths of air. His mind was still clouded from all the laughter but he could slowly focus on the blonde in front of him who was giving him a sheepish smile.
A sudden squeeze on his upper flanks made him gasp again and he could hear Suo's voice. "Don't worry about it Nirei, if he can still talk back to us, he should be fine~" he suggested, tilting his head to the side so he could have a look at Sakura’s flustered expression, with cheeks flushed to the brightest shade of pink in the market. “Right, Sakura?”
“I- hnghaha, thahAhat’s not- agh, I dohohon’t know, d-damn it!” Sakura whined, already feeling his friends’ fingers picking it up from where they left it, making him squirm left and right in his seat, trying to find a way to pry them off his body or stop them in their tracks. “I-It’s wehEHeheird!”
Nirei giggled, leaning a little closer as he poked Sakura’s stomach over and over, changing his attention over the guy’s hips from time to time, just to come back seconds later and catch him by surprise. “Sakura, it’s okay to say if you are having fun! Everyone should have fun with their friends, right?”
“Exactly,” Suo nodded from behind, trying to get his hands under Sakura’s arms again, tickling the highest ribs he could reach while he was at it, “I can grant you we are having a lot of fun.”
“Y-YOHOhohou two suhUHUck!! AHAhaha, t-thiHIhis is hehEHEhell!” Sakura laughed helplessly, his body telling the opposite of his words as he shook his head back against Suo’s body as the tickling emptied his hand again, making it almost impossible for him to think of anything else.
Suo giggled at his honest reply, smiling down at him. He was just too fun to tease. "Then why are you laughing so much Sakura? If it's really like hell, you surely wouldn't, right?" Suo teased before he let out a fake gasp. "...But did I hear you right? We... We suck... did you hear that Nirei? Are we so bad at it?"
He locked as with the blonde who decided to play along. "He- Pfft He did say that... mhm I didn't think I would be so baHad at it either," he said, trying to sound hurt, whereas you could clearly see him biting on the lip so that he wouldn't giggle. "NooHOh t-thaht's noHot-" Sakura wanted to say, but was interrupted when Suo spoke up again.
"Do you know what that means, Nirei?" "H-Hehy doHon't iHignore meHEh?" "What does it mean, Suo?" he asked, already guessing what the brunette would say. "We should spice things up a bit~" Spice things up a bit!
"NohoHOho!" Sakura's eyes shot open and he began to buck a bit stronger, his legs were kicking out and he accidently kicked the blonde lightly, who caught the foot in his arms. It all happened fast enough to take any chance of reacting from him.
Before Sakura realized it, Nirei was pulling at his leg, tickling and digging into the back of his knee and the bottom of his thigh, while Suo shoved his hands under both his arms at once. He cackled like a madman, shaking his head left and right as he uselessly thrashing inside his friends’ grip. “GUHUHUYS!! AHAhahah, t-tooho muhuHUHUCH!!”
Sakura stomped his free foot on the ground and rocked his body back and forth, trying to find a way to escape those tickly touches that seemed to follow him everywhere no matter what. He felt tears forming on the corner of his eyes and clinging to his lashes, his face warm and burning in a now even brighter shade of red.
Was being tickled always this intense, Sakura thought - but only for a moment as all he could focus on was the ticklish sensation overwhelming his nerves. "You brought this upon yourself Sakura..." Suo teased, his fingers wiggling even more eagerly into his armpits, "and now you have to take the consequences for it. Nirei get his shoe off~" he ordered, feeling him flinch.
Sakura didn’t like where this was going. Were feet supposed to be ticklish as well? He didn’t know, but if Suo even asked for said spot, then it must be a pretty sensitive area as well. This was bad. He couldn’t even handle the current stimulations of his nerves… he had to do something, anything.
"NoOHoho doOhn't you dAhahre ahAhah f-fuHuhuck oHOhoff," Sakura cursed and tried to pull his foot out of Nirei's hold, but the blonde had him in a surprisingly-strong armlock, making it hard to pull him off, especially if you had to deal with these damn sensations under your arms at the same time, sucking up all your energy.
"Don’t worry Sakura, I’ll be gentle~" Nirei encouraged, which wasn’t helping. Damn it, damn it, damn it! Sakura cursed innerly, but no matter what he tried, he couldn’t stop it. Nirei chuckled as his free hand began to work, opening the shoelaces before pulling it off his foot.
He could see his toes wiggle once they were freed, curling as if it could protect them from being tickled. His fingers brushed slowly over his arch, testing the waters, and once again, he wasn’t disappointed. "StoOHohop p-pleHEehse ahHgh damnh iHit!"
“Just a bit more, yes? We are almost done with you,” Suo explained as if this all was part of some medical examination or work in progress. How could he tell Sakura to wait when he could barely form a proper sentence?!
“Right, we still have to report about your patrolling and probably check the week's schedule with the class,” Nirei said, one grip closed around Sakura’s ankle while he tickled the trapped foot with the other, “there also might be a meeting at the rooftop later… We should spare some time just in case.”
“Ahh, such a busy schedule, right? That's our captain for you!” Suo added, his voice sweet and almost convincing if it wasn't for his hands tickling Sakura under his arms.
Sakura felt his head getting light and the sentences becoming harder to form. His cheeks and stomach felt sore after smiling and laughing for so long, making him wonder if tickling could also be a bit painful like that.
“S-SUHUHUOHOH!! AHAhah, I caHAHAhan't- N-NihiHIREHEHEI, S-STOHOHOP IT YOU TWOHO!!~” he whined, feeling like he had reached his limit of what he could handle. "PleHehehase noHOho moOHhore," he said, his voice sounding a bit hoarse. The smile on Nirei's face disappeared right away, turning into a light frown.
His fingers slowed down a bit before he stopped his tickling, letting his foot rest in his lap. "S-Suo, I think he had enough..." he said, looking at his friend. Suo didn’t seem to have heard the change in his voice as he continued to wreck his poor armpits. "SUO! Let's stop for a second!" Nirei said a bit louder.
That caught the other's attention and he gave Sakura’s armpits one last wiggle before her removed his hands as well. When he felt or rather saw Sakura exhausted state, his usually teasing mimic switched one similar to Nirei.
He laid a hand on Sakura's shoulder and gave it a light squeeze. "…You're okay, there Sakura?" "We didn't overdo it, did we?" Nirei asked, a bit worried as he watched the dual-haired taking in some much-needed breaths, his chest moving up and down as he tried to regain his senses and calm down form their combined tickle attack.
However, those worries didn't seem to reach Sakura. With a dazed, blank look in his face, Sakura took a moment to rest by himself. He wheezed, taking deep breaths while feeling his whole body tingle.
It wasn't until he saw Nirei waving his hand before him that Sakura understood that there was something else happening around him. Shaking his head, he blinked a few times before getting back into his right mind. “H-Huh?” Suo chuckled, now placing both his hands on Sakura's shoulders. “He is fine, we didn't break him.”
Nirei nodded, letting a little sigh of relief while Sakura only seemed to grow more confused by the second, looking back and forth between his friends in the vain hope of figuring the scene out. “W-What are you two about?!” “Hahah, don't worry, Sakura,” Nirei smiled, brighter this time, “let's just get you patched up and go back, ok?~”
He grumbled a bit, but didn't complain much as he watched Nirei finishing his treatment. Seeing his smile calmed him down a bit and he rubbed over his sides, to get right of the ghostly tingles that were still lingering on them. The events came back to his mind and he suddenly wondered if the other two were ticklish themselves.
"... I want to tickle you too..." he mumbled more to himself then the others. "You said anything?" Nirei asked looking up at him and Sakura felt himself flush again. "O-O-Of course not... give me that..." he stuttered, grabbing his shoe and yanking it on, before he stomped away, stopping after a few meters before looking back. "C-Come on, let's go back..."
Nirei smiled as he got up. "Right away, Sakura~" he said chuckling. Suo looked after them, feeling a light tingle on his neck, as he repeated the words in his mind. ‘…tickle you too…’ ehh? Sakura has really grown up, he thought and couldn’t help but smile. Things are gonna get interesting from now…
Another smile hushed over his lips and he shook his head before he caught up to them. "Coming~" Yes, he was definitely looking forward to see Sakura grow even further…
This is a tickle fic! And my first one too!

“Sakura-san… are you still here?”
Nirei waved his hand in front of the teenager in front of him, but Sakura had already lost focus, his eyes darting towards the eye-patched guy sitting on the couch next to him.
Suo took one final sip from his tea cup and then gracefully leaned back into the couch.
Perfect.
Sakura smiled to himself, slowly inching towards Suo like a cat eyeing his prey.
“Sakura-san?” Nirei questioned his friend’s weird movements.
Yet Sakura ignored him, and couldn't hear him, in fact. His eyes were fixed on the spot next to Suo’s stomach.
That’s the spot, Sakura thought to himself.
One poke and he can get Suo to laugh. One poke and he can get his sweet, sweet revenge.
Swiftly but surely, his fingers aimed for the spot—
Yet right before he could reach the spot, a strong hand grabbed at his wrist.
Sakura tilted his head. This wasn’t part of the plan. He looked up at his captor, and saw his purple-haired friend playfully glaring at him.
“What do we have here? A trapped kitten? Hello there, Sa-ku-ra-kun~” Suo chirped.
Suo’s smile was ever so bright, but his eyes flickered with a hint of darkness, his smile mischievous.
Sakura’s heart flipped.
This is bad. Really, really bad—
He dares not look at Suo, who had a Cherise cat smile placed on his lips, his eyes glistening with mischief. He is sure he’ll die blushing if he looks at Suo, either from embarrassment or from the tickles yet to come.
There is only one word, one cry in Sakura’s mind. Abort mission.
Sakura tugged at his wrist, but Suo only held them a bit tighter.
“Let me go, you idiot!” Sakura fumbled.
Nirei looked up at the two. “Ohhh… so this is what it’s about.” He said.
“Yes, and I suggest you run if you don’t want to be next, Nirei-kun.” Suo grinned, and giggled to himself when Nieri bolted out of the room.
“Traitor!” Sarkura yelped, though his attempts were futile. No one is here to save him from the predicament he’s put on.
From behind him, Suo let out a soft chuckle, before turning his gaze back to Sakura.
“Ahh… so close. One more second and you would have taken your revenge.” Suo shook his head at Sakura.
“You ought to be sneakier, Sakura-kun. Like this.”
Sakura barely had time to register the words that Suo had said before he felt a finger poke at his stomach.
“Ah!” Sakura yelped, eyes widening, bringing his knees up to protect his stomach.
“Wait, that’s a cute sound.Do it again.” Suo’s words dripped with amusement.
The very next second, another well-placed poke to Sakura’s stomach sent him jolting again, the “Ahh” slipping out of his mouth.
Sakura heard his captor trying but failed to stifle a chuckle, and he felt himself blushing.
“Suo-san!!!” Sakura cried out. How dare he make fun of him! He was going to punch Suo so hard it will break his nose, and—
“Yes…?” Suo replied teasingly.
Just as Sakura was about to open his mouth and reply, long,delicate yet devious fingers scribbled gently but rapidly against his stomach,at the spot right below his belly button.
The electric sensation immediately overwhelmed Sakura’s brain, and he can’t remember anything but focus on the fingers playfully tormenting him.
The words Sakura was about to say were replaced by loud wild giggles.
“Hmm? What were you about to say, Sakura-kun?” Suo teased.
“You… hahaha…you’re a haha menace!”
“Me? A menace?I’m hurt, Sakura-kun. First you tried to attack me, and then you called me names? You need to be punished severely.” Suo smiled sinisterly.
And with that, Suo dove his hand right into the centre of Sakura’s belly button, watching in delight as Sakura let out a loud squeal and dissolved into cackles.
As much as Suo hated to admit, he liked seeing Sakura like this. Laughing and blushing instead of his usual scowling. Of course there is nothing wrong with his tsundere friend’s usual expression, it’s just that once in a while, he would like to see Sakura laugh with his friends because of something silly like this.
“N-not there!” Sakura screeched, flailing around, as Suo found his fingers dancing at Sakura’s upper ribs.
Suo smiled. He hit the jackpot. “Where? Here?” Without a warning, he dug his fingers into Sakura’s armpits.
The screech that Sakura let out was deafening.
Sakura thrashed around, loud laughter spilling out of his lips uncontrollably. This is unbearable, this is unbearable…
Luckily, just as Sakura was about to reach his limits, Suo retrieved his hand, leaving a panting mess of him laying on the arm of the couch.
“You act like I took the life out of you.” Suo grinned, scooting over to rub Sakura’s back to calm him down.
Sakura tensed when he felt the touch, but relaxed and leaned towards it when he felt that he wasn’t going to get another tickle attack so soon.
“You suck.” Sakura spat out one last insult at Suo, and Suo only laughed. Sakura isn't ready to take another round, but he will save this piece of information for tickle attacks another day.
“Really? You never asked me to stop, nor tried to grab at my wrists.” Suo asked.
Bingo. Sakura felt his cheeks flame up. He couldn’t think of a valid comeback, so he only turned his back against Suo.
So cute… Suo cooed.
“What… gave me away? Is it Nirei-kun?” Sakura asked.
Suo smiled at his friend’s confusion. Sakura was probably still in disbelief that Suo counter-revenged on his revenge.
Cute.
“Your eyes. You checked to make sure I’m in a good mood and in the right time and place before you pounce.”
Sakura only grumbled in response.
“Oh, don’t be sad~ I appreciate it. How you always look out for your friends even if it is just a tickle fight. You’re caring, kind, and…”
Suo snickered to himself when he saw Sakura get redder and redder with each praise. It wasn’t until Sakura held out a hand to cover Suo’s mouth did Suo burst out laughing.
“Just so you know, I’m getting you back next time. Tenfold.” Sakura threatened, looking at Suo with that competitive glint. And Suo returned that statement with a smirk.
“Looking forward to it.”
