....That was his voice, right? Tsukishima Kei? Wow. What a way to come home. You slowly entered your apartment, taking in the hysterical sound of his contagious laughter.
Usually your roommate Tsukishima was the one who got home later since the museum where he worked nowadays was a bit further away from home.
Usually he was the quiet type.
Usually he never even laughed much...
But this. This was really something else.
Your eyes widened to see him sprawled on the kitchen floor of your shared apartment. His brother Akiteru was tickling him! To death!
"Brohohother! I'm so sohohorry-ahahaha!"
"Huh, what was that? Say that again?"
"SOhoho-rrahahaha!" You had never seen him so happy (?!) before, with a huge smile on his face, tears sparkling his eyes from laughing so much, his arms wrapped around his own stomach and his feet with those geeky dinosaur socks kicking hysterically.
Tsukishima was really laughing like this. Adorable.
"Plehehease!" he begged. Akiteru was merciless and continued to tickle his ribs and armpits.
"Right? I think you've learned your lesson then. Oh!" He finally noticed you had come home, and you waved awkwardly at him. Akiteru got back up and greeted you.
"Hi there! You see. Little ticklish Kei here was so nice to show off that bratty attitude again to his big bro. And that while I went out of my way to pick him up from work and give him a ride home."
You covered your mouth and smothered a laugh. "I s-see," you giggled.
"He's an adult now, so he shouldn't act like a brat. Or else, I show him how we deal with brats. Right? If he ever gives you an attitude, remember that!"
He bent down and ruffled Tsukishima's hair, then winked at you and excused himself. You were too flabbergasted to even offer Akiteru a drink and some nice hospitality, but looked like he was busy enough.
"What are you grinning for?"
Tsukishima's sudden cold remark made you jump in surprise, and you looked at him. Within mere seconds he had gotten back onto his feet. His cheeks were still slightly flushed, but instead of that huge smile, all you could see was this cold and serious expression you were so familiar with.
"Geez, that Akiteru," Tsukishima sighed, not even waiting for your answer. He opened the fridge and took out some cold water, recovering from the tickle attack by drinking some.
Looking at him like this you could hardly imagine that....
"Pfft!" you accidentally snorted as soon as the fresh memory of Tsukishima getting wrecked on the floor flashed before your eyes.
"Hmm?" He glanced at you. "What's so funny?" he asked again. Was he that clueless or was he just playing dumb?
"I never knew you're so...."
"So what?"
You really had a hard time fighting the uncontrollable giggle fit, but you didn't want to embarrass him or piss him off by laughing into his face!
"S-s-so... So...." Maybe you shouldn't say it after all, but he was staring at you with such a serious and demanding look. Which only made it funnier, and scarier.
"Ticklish... Hehehe," you giggled sheepishly, covering your mouth.
"Huh?" Tsukishima put down the water bottle and suddenly approached you. You jumped back in surprise until your back hit the kitchen counter.
"Me, ticklish huh? What a rude claim."
You literally just saw it! How could he- gah! He came at you, trapping you against the counter, and you were surprised when you suddenly felt him poke your side.
"So why don’t we see who’s more ticklish?" he said. Eh! This was never about th-
"HEhe! Hahahang on, t-that's not necessary-hehehe!" you laughed, trying to break free, but he caged you in effectively and tickled both your sides. This was what you got for laughing at him!
All the pent up giggles you had been fighting back just now came flowing right out of your mouth, and you couldn't stop them. Not this time.
"Tsuhuhuki-gahaha!" Your knees gave in, but he merely followed you down. Despite being his roommate for quite a while, you continued to learn new things about him. Like how he wasn't the type to blush and lock himself in his room after his brother embarrassed him like that in your presence.
No, to your surprise he appeared to be the type that wouldn't accept getting teased without some retaliation. And you were barely teasing him! This had to be his way of dealing with his embarrassment.
"I'm sohohhorry! I wahahasn't lahahaughing ahahat you!" you lied through hysterical laughter. You rolled from side to side, but he broke through your weak defense with ease and tickled your sides and tummy without mercy.
"You sure are laughing now," he said sarcastically. Pffft! He was mean! Wicked! Evil! You tried to yell something but could only laugh and squeal.
Until finally you did manage to form another word. An important one.
"HAHA-MEHEHERCY! M-merceehehehe!" you begged. You hadn't even considered how ticklish you were before snickering in this ticklish guy's face.
"So, mercy you say hm?" he sighed. He wiggled his fingers once more over your stomach, making you shriek, and then he finally got back up and sighed, stretching his tall body.
"Don't you remember anything my brother did, or said. Rather remember this." To remind you, he bent down again and squeezed your sides one last time. The scream errupting from you startled you both.
To your surprise, he chuckled, and there was even a fond and gentle-looking smile on his face.
"I actually also never knew. That you're so ticklish." Then looking satisfied he finally left you alone so you could wheeze and squirm like an exhausted worm on the floor.
That guy! But that was a genuine smile he gave you, not caused by tickling.
And although he just tickled you to death, you felt like the little surprise encounter with Akiteru caused you to grow even closer to you usually cold and bitter roommate!
Summary: Tsukishima realizes Kageyama is having trouble focusing, and Oikawa, helpful friend that he is, decides to help him relax.
A/N: Gods Kageyama is such a cute Lee and I feel like these two would be lethal Lers, especially to him. Poor Tobio-
“Man, you really suck today- can’t focus King?”
Kageyama whirled and barked a retort.
“Shut it, Four Eyes no-one asked you!”
“So aggressive. Scary~ What, did you not sleep last night, stressing about Oikawa again?”
Kageyama flinched and Tsukishima smirked to himself.
Bingo.
He marched over to where Tsukishima waited on the sidelines and started ranting.
“Why would I even care that he’s here- I’m gonna wipe the floor with him!”
“I’m sure that’s why you’re trembling.”
Tsukishima grabbed his arm, holding it up so he’d see his own hand.
“Wow, you’re that on edge cause of little old me? I’m flattered Kageyama~”
Kageyama tried to whirl to face Oikawa but Tsukishima still had a firm grip on his arm.
“You- don’t know what you’re talking about!”
“Oh, don’t I? You’d always get the pregame jitters- remember how we used to help you out with that~?”
There was a lilt evident now, and Tsukishima couldn’t deny he was curious, especially as Kageyama turned his attention back to him and tried to squirm out of his grip when Oikawa began to leisurely walk over.
“Lemme go- this is stupid!”
“Aw, don’t be like that! I just wanna help.”
“No! I-”
“Don’t tell me your new teammates don’t know Tobio. That just won’t do! Tsukishima- you wouldn’t mind helping me dispel Kageyama’s fears, would you?”
Tsukishima probably should’ve been a good teammate and released Kageyama- but he could admit he was sadistically curious.
“Whatever- if it’ll help him play at his best..”
He dismissed, raising his chin as he pulled Kageyama towards him, readjusting him a moment and putting his arms under his to hold the squirming setter against his body.
Oikawa beamed at both of them, easily speaking over Kageyama’s cursing.
“Kageyama here- is actually really ticklish. Here, I’ll show you! It’s the best way to make him shut that big mouth of his and make him squeal.”
He closed in before Kageyama could kick him away and dug into the boy’s sides but he held firm, glaring at him for all he was worth and biting his lip.
Unfortunately for Kageyama, his smirk only widened at the challenge.
“Ah, he’s playing hard to get. That’s fine by me- it’s more fun when I get to break him!”
Tsukishima couldn’t help snickering.
“Well at least now your fear of him makes sense. Too ticklish to take it? The ones who talk a big game like you always have some sort of childish weakness like this. Wait till the others find out.”
Kageyama turned red, his blush raging and very evident and Oikawa encouraged it further with his own laughter, dancing his fingers up to scribble merrily at his ribs making Kageyama finally burst out laughing, unable to help himself.
“Ahaha! Wow, you’re a mean one! Teasing is the perfect way to break that stoic facade of his. Isn’t that right Tobio?"
"You guys are the whohohorst!! Cut it ohohohout!”
“We’re just trying to help Tobio- you don’t have to pretend you hate it.”
Oikawa cooed.
“I’m not pretending!! You guys shuhuhuhuck!”
“Your blush says otherwise. I didn’t even know it could go to your ears like that.”
Tsukishima quipped, blowing air into it and making Kageyama squeal. He could deny it all he wanted but the blonde blocker felt how relaxed he’d become. This really had helped him unwind.
Still, he decided to be nice. Just this once.
“Alright, I don’t want him too tired out before we beat you- thanks for the information though Captain.”
Tsukki finally released him and Oikawa jumped back with a laugh as Kageyama panted and glared at him. He shook himself off and seemed dead set on taking the other down, storming off to practice with Hinata, and Tsukishima couldn’t help but snicker.
This information would definitely have its uses down the line.
Hiii, I'm writing another haikyuu fic. I got a lot of likes and reblogs, so thanks a lot!
As always, Lee kageyama is my only fav thing to write! Enjoy then!
Warning spoilers alert
"Truth or dare, Noya?"
Nishinoya hummed in thought, the libero grinned "Dare"
Tanaka sneered now "Oh yeah? I dare you to bounce the ball without dropping it to the ground for at least five minutes."
"So mean of ya, Tanaka!" Was the shortest fellow's response, and surprisingly, after five tries, he did manage to keep the ball stable with perfect receives to himself.
"Nice Noya! Alright, now Tsukishima..." it was Nishinoya's turn to offer either a dare or a truth to him. The libero added, however, "But you used all your three truths, so it's a dare, buddy."
Everyone snickered at Tsukki's plight as the blocker pushed his glasses irritably.
"I dare you..." Noya takes some time to consider his dare, then his eyes scan the players and noticed Kageyama, "Aha! I dare you to make Kageyama laugh -very loud!"
Tsukishima froze now, eyeing Kageyama wearily. "What regal punishment will I get to assault the king with such frivolous cause?"
"Oi!"
Noya grinned, now pushing spikes further up as he spoke, "You see... you both need to lighten up, and Kageyama could use a laugh... look at his frown..."
It's a dare after all, and Kageyama wasn't equally as thrilled as anyone else in their court.
Now Daichi watched Tanaka, Noya, Tsukishima (who was forced to the game), Hinata, Yameguchi, and Kageyama (who was also forced)...then he smiled "Seems like the kids are having fun for once"
Sugawara grinned and used a chopping hit on his head. "You sound like a Grandpa captain"
"Use jokes, Tsukki!" Hinata's expression was exaggerating, and Kageyama wondered why he was so thrilled in this."I'll make sure you win against the stoic King of the court!"
"Would you shut up!" Kageyama was ignored.
Tsukishima wondered, maybe it would be fun to see the king laugh and be embarrassed later on. Might as well try it.
But still, jokes isn't his forte. "Where do the crazy people go if they were lost?"
Kageyama answered blankly. "They are crazy so they take the psychopath"
Widening his eyes, Hinata never expected kageyama to know the answer, "Wait, you heard jokes before?"
He frowned. "My sister used to tell them they're pretty boring and common so... that was a very weak attempt..." he turned to Tsukishima with a smug look."You can't win this dare. "
Motivated Hinata turned to Noya "Can't I try! I wanna see him laugh too"
Noya thought knowing its against the rules... but then before he could refuse he heard the third years approaching "What's this? Make Kageyama burst out laughing...? Count me in"
Kageyama was shocked. "W-what? You can't do that... Tsukishima is only dared to do so..."
Noya clapped his hands in enthusiasm "Now I'm pumped let's finish him off!"
Kageyama felt like they took this way too seriously. He realised how some jokes were lame and common, especially from Tsukishima. Sugawara's had a funny sound effect, which sort of seemed funny that Hinata burst out laughing. Tanaka's absurd face contortions were out of this world. Noya joined in with equal talents as Tanaka and Hinata got worse jokes which didn't make sense to anyone at all...
Whatever obstacle they tried... nothing broke the star setter.
Tired they were, Daichi seemed to see how everyone was giving their all. But he remained watching the spectacle with interest along with Asahi, Yameguchi, and Ennoshita.
Kageyama looked at Tsukishima now with a smirk. "Seems like not even the bird brain can handle such a simple task as this"
"Yeah a Kings sense of humour is much wicked than you think"
Everyone was ready to give up but that was until Hinata whispered something to Tsukishima.
"Psst..." he rapidly began spilling the joyous secret.
Tsukishima's eyes widened. Wait...? He should've done that at first... why didn't he think of that?
He slowly sneaked a couple of fingers towards Kageyama, who was unaware of the dangers coming towards him.
A squeak.
That was all it took from him the moment Tsukki poked his side.
He glared now "Oi, four eyes don't touch me!"
Tsukishima grinned widely, kageyama froze now, seeing sinister darkness beneath his glasses. "Ah... I see now that I failed to see that someone with your personality tends to be a lot more sensitive than we think"
"H-huh...?" Kageyama was hovered over and Tsukishima was wiggling his fingers menacingly "Tell me your highness, are you ticklish?"
"No..." was a hesitant answer, and yet Kageyama clamped his arms down to avoid any room for Tsukishima to attack.
Hinata giggled brightly "Oh he is ticklish, alright! It was my idea!"
Noya snickered now "Shall we get him...?"
However or perhaps fortunately for Kageyama, Tsukishima stopped them. "This is my dare, I get to make the king lose his sanity.... you can try after I'm done."
Everyone snickered with villainy, and they were all ready to overthrow the king with his weakness.
"First I start here..."
Kageyama gasped but didn't laugh immediately when Tsukishima skillfully sneaked his long fingers on his waist, and Kageyama jolted but with no laugh still. He was squirming but also had the audacity to say, "Is that all you got skinny bastard? This is nothing!"
"Ah, ah, ah king wrong move... I was planning on going easy on you, but..." he raised his fingers as if he were playing a dramating piano piece."You are finished now..."
"Gah -wait!"
Kageyama felt those fingers now sneak at the back of his ribs he shrieked but didn't laugh immeidatelt. So Tsukishima was half satisfied with what he got, though he wanted to make him laugh more.
"I know ribs are bad for you, so maybe I got the wrong angle..." it was like a science experiment. Except he wasn't being dissected like frog... now he wished he was that frog.
"Y-you have the nerve t-toho be soho bohold!" Kageyama flinched and twitched from one side to another, he was good at concealing but he had underestimated his fellow first year.
"Andd I spy a tickle spot here!"
He certainly can tease. Kageyama broke into giggles when his higher ribs were targeted "I told you your ribs will get you in trouble!"
Hinata jumped on his butt now excited to join but remained still as the rest who were itching to join the fun.
"Laugh out loud... you are still giggling, so this doesn't count" Tsukki was already enjoying tormenting the setter. He was ready for the finale and Kageyama was anxious enough to glower at him but also fear foe the worst.
Starting him instantly, he began to flip him, realising where he was going. "OK! Wait... I give up. This has gone too, faaa-aaahahar!"
He shrieked out a laugh when a finger slid down his spine.
"Jackpot..." Tsukishima smirked "Now prepare for the hell you've been waiting for!"
He laughed. It was loud and contagious, bubbly and cute. nobody expected him to sound so cute.... not even Hinata. He heard grumpy giggles sure it was adorable too but this squeals and loud belly laughter was unfair!
"Ahhh, he's so cute..."It came from Noya, who was also waiting for his turn, "man Tsukki got the a pretty good dare I wanna mess with him Too!"
"DOHOHONT IHIHI GEHEHT A SAHAHAHAY IHIHIN THIHIHIS??" Kageyama yelled out through his laughter.
Daichi clapped now and Tuskki stopped in thst signal "I won.."
"Alright we'll mess with Kageyama after practice"
Everyone cheered on that while the youngest player was agast. "Haaah??? Captain! Nohohot you tooo!"
He was ignored yet again but ended up getting pokes from his orange friend, "Awwww, don't be upset sulky-yama shall I tickle it away?"
"Gehet off yohou human tangerine!" He pushed him off but then glowered at the guy with glasses who smirked back with a triumphant sneer."Don't let your guard down king now that your weakness is exposed"
A/N: Hi!! I'm still alive... after more than a month of inactivity... 😓 Sorry for not posting my content for a while, after I was done with my entry test and tasted a bit of freedom, I realized how burnt-out I truly was. I took a break from literally everything and hung out with my friends and family since I spent the whole summer studying for a thing or another 😅 Anyway, back to the important stuff, this fic was a request... that I took way too long to write... again... (PLEASE FORGIVE MEEE) but I found it really interesting and I related a lot to the scenario, which is why it came out a bit more personal than I wanted. But at the same time I liked it the way it was so I decided to post it like this. Spero vi piaccia 💚🤍❤️ (I hope you enjoy it) Suggestions and support are always appreciated ^_^
DISCLAIMER: This is a tickle fic, if it's not to your taste I don't suggest you read it
"That's it for today, guys" Ukai's loud voice echoed throughout the gym "Make sure to stretch properly, clean up, and then go home and get some rest!" He said before leaving, knowing he had to prepare some meat buns. Everything went as usual, but a little detail made that day different. It was the third-years' last training.
Daichi almost couldn't believe it was really happening. Three years had already passed and he was about to leave his volleyball team. And as chaotic as said team was, he didn't like the idea at all. He just felt like it wasn't the right time.
Sure, Ennoshita was more than ready to become captain, but were Tanaka and Noya ready to become less... hurricane-like? Was Yamaguchi going to find his self-confidence? What about Tsukki? Would he find it in himself to open up to the others? To not talk about Hinata and Kageyama's constant bickering...
There was still so much he could help everyone with, even if he was just supporting them or giving a fatherly advice. But he had to admit to himself that they were going to manage without him, his team was full of capable and motivated guys, they were more than capable of overcoming any kind of hardship. He also had to admit to himself that the one who wasn't ready to that kind of change was him.
"...so I was thinking I could go to university and work somewhere to help my family par fo- hello? Earth to Daichi? Are you even listening?" Suga's scoff brought the (soon-to-be ex) Karasuno captain back to Earth. "Sorry Suga, I spaced out for a second..." He let out an embarrassed chuckle.
The grey-haired guy looked at his teammate with genuine concern in his eyes. "Are you okay? Is there something wrong?" He asked worried.
Daichi glanced for a second at the others, who had started cleaning already, and then told his friend about his worries about that being his last training, having to leave the team, missing the team, missing volleyball in general...
"DAICHIIIII!!!" His train of thoughts got abruptly interrupted by Suga's bonk, which was objectively kind of deserved. It was Mr. Refreshing's duty to help anyone who was feeling down, one way or another, and the whole team knew that.
However, there was still a nostalgic glint in the captain's gaze, and that couldn't be allowed. Sad goodbyes were not accepted at Karasuno Volleyball Team. The gray-haired guy looked around himself for a second. Narita and Kinoshita had already left with Ennoshita because they still had some exams to study for. Noya and Tanaka had to study as well... but they insisted on helping with the cleanup before going. Yachi and Kyoko were gone as well; they wanted to spend some time together since they were going to say goodbye, too.
"Ahem! Guys, gather here for a second." The vice-captain said, waiting for everyone to come. "As you know, this is our last day here." His first sentence was enough to make everyone groan and whine, but he was able to hush them all. "BUT! We don't want it to be a sad goodbye, we want to enjoy this journey until the last second... or at least that's what we agreed upon. However someone is feeling sulky right now. Does anyone have a suggestion to fix this little problem?"
Making sure Daichi wouldn't see him, he wiggled his finger to give his own suggestion to the team. Obviously, they all caught on quickly, especially Hinata and Nishinoya, who immediately pounced on the captain.
The dark-haired guy stumbled backwards, trying to keep the two short guys still, but when Suga and Asahi decided to join the fun, he had no choice but topple to the ground while trying to hold back his laughter. "Guys! What a-ahare you doing? This is- ack! This is nohot necessary!"
"On the contrary, captain, this is exactly what you need." The vice-captain smirked teasingly at him and started poking his stomach. Asahi was keeping his arms pinned above his head with one hand and softly fluttered the fingers of the other one all over his neck and ears, changing sides every time he scrunched his shoulder to protect those spots.
Yamaguchi had managed to drag Tsukki into this, claiming that it was a bonding moment and he would've enjoyed it. They were straddling the captain's calves and squeezed the kneecaps and right above them. It made him kick so much that he almost managed to buck the first-years off a couple of times.
Noya was sitting between Daichi's legs and was squeezing his hips and sides quickly and mercilessly, while Tanaka was helping the vice-captain with the stomach. "Guhuys Ihihi sweheahahar..!" The dark-haired guy quickly dissolved into hiccupy giggles and found it impossible to build a complete sentence. "Ah ah ah," Suga teasingly reprimanded him "no swearing at school." He said while dipping his index finger in the wing spiker's belly button and wiggling around, which elicited some snorts that made everyone laugh out loud.
Obviously Hinata had joined the fun as well; he was getting the right side of the ribcage, having fun with counting the bones and sliding his fingers into every groove. "Oi Kageyama, are you coming?" He yelled, only receiving an annoying scoff in response. But he knew better. "Are you afraid I'm better than you at this?"
The setter glared intensely at him and approached the group (with the faintest blush on his face, according to Hinata). He kneeled by the left side of Daichi's ribcage and attacked, going immediately all out, to which the redhead responded with upping his game as well. "Thihihihis ihihis *snort* Thihihis ihis nohohot ahah- ACK! ahaha cohohompehetihihitiohon..!" The third-year scolded them between his laughter.
However, the other teammates seemed to disagree. Seeing the little competition between the freak-duo made them want to join. Daichi arched his back and tried to squirm as much as he could, which wasn't much since he didn't want to take the risk of hurting anyone. "Yohohou're beheheihing meheahahan nohow!" Whoops... wrong thing to say. The teens smirked evilly and started tickling him harder while teasing him as well!
He couldn't figure out who was saying what, he was too lost in his own laughter to listen carefully. He just heard a mix of voices saying "Tickle tickle tickle..." "Aaaww come on, smile captain" "Hahaha did you just snort?" "Hehehe see? This day must be happy for all of us, now smile for us!" "Who's making you laugh more? Me or that boke?"
Okay, maybe he could figure out who asked that last question, but that wasn't the point. He felt his face become red, and he couldn't even hide behind his hands since Asahi was keeping them pinned. But it wasn't so bad after all... until someone, probably Suga, had the idea of going for his thighs. That made him go berserk.
"BAHAHAHAHAHAHA OHOHOKAHAHAHAY IHIHI GIHIHIVEHE!! IHIHIHIHI GIHIVEHEHEHE PLEHEHEAHASE STAHAHAHAHAHAP!!" He screm at the top of his lungs. His thighs were his absolute worst spot, and he'd been enduring that playful assault for God knows how long; it made him tap out almost immediately.
"Alright, let's let him up." The grey-haired guy told everyone to stop and helped the captain to sit up. He was still giggling and a giddy smile was plastered all over his face. "That... that wahas... absoluhutely ruthless..." he panted "but maybehe I needed that... thahank you guys..." he finished with a chuckle.
"Thank you, Daichi, for being the greatest captain ever and even guiding us all the way to nationals." Suga said with teary eyes. What could he say... even Mr. Refreshing himself wasn't immune to the strange feeling of saying goodbye. He was already feeling nostalgic as well!
"Sugaaa!! We said no tears!" Hinata yelled while tackling him down and going straight for his sides and tummy. "Hihinahataaa! WhaHAHAhat aharehehe yoHOHouhu dohohoIHIhihiHIng?!" The vice-captain broke down into his high-pitched and squeaky laughter. "Hahaha I think I'll join as well... it's true that we said no tears after all." Asahi said approaching to the grey-haired guy, only to lift up Hinata and blow a raspberry on his tummy.
"NAHAHAHA AHAHASAHAHAIHIHI GEHET HIHIHIM NAHAHAT MEHEHEHEHEEE" The tangerine howled, but he was quickly rescued by Noya, who took advantage of Asahi's distraction while he was putting down Hinata to jump on his back and tickle his neck and torso.
Right after he recovered, the redhead pounced on Kageyama, bringing him down. "Bohohokehehe yohou're gohonnahaha gehehet ihihihit!!" He yelled, trying to sound angry and intimidating, before fighting back and darting his hands up into the middle blocker's underarms. "Ihihi'll beheahahat yohohouhu thihis tihihimehehehe Bahahakahageheyahahama!"
In the meanwhile, Suga thought that a certain couple of first-years was missing too much on the fun, so he wrapped an arm around Yamaguchi's shoulders to keep him in place while he scribbled on his tummy with his other hand. "Nononoohohohoho pleheheahaseee" The pinch server's legs gave out and he went to the floor, but he never did anything to actually stop the older guy.
Tanaka decided to help the vice-captain with his mission and went straight after Tsukishima, who desperately tried to not laugh... in vain of course.
Before they knew it, a tickle fight on full scale had blown out in the gym and everyone was laughing their head off.
Daichi glanced at the mess right in front of him before joining. The thought of graduating didn't sound so scary or sad after all, because now he knew he was never truly going to leave his team, or better, his family.
AAAH, ok so i had this anon request for lee!kuroo in my inbox but it somehow got deleted - it’s here now but it’s been a while and idk if the anon who sent the request is actually seeing this, but whatever, here it is
an: tickle fic, kurodai
¸¸♬·¯·♩¸¸♪·¯·♫¸¸¸¸♫·¯·♪¸¸♩·¯·♬¸¸
Something was off. Akaashi couldn't quite name it, but the usual cheery and relaxed atmosphere of their extra practice in the third gym had been replaced by something a lot more tensed and weird. He didn't like it. Being used to Bokuto's and Kuroo's bullshit, the newly established silence was uncomfortable and, on top of that, awfully suspicious.
Akaashi looked at his captain intensely, who was practicing his serves. That idiot was probably planning some shenanigans with his non-better, maybe even worse Nekoma pal and they were just bad at hiding their intentions. The Setter wasn't sure what to make of the tension in the gym though – were they scared that their prank could go wrong? A cold shiver ran down his spine as he imagined the horrible stuff they could've gotten themselves into.
But alright, no need to panic, there was no evidence of a crime about to happen – yet. Akaashi put his water bottle down and walked over to Tsukishima who was taking a break as well. “Hey, you don't happen to know what's up with them, do you?”
The Karasuno Blocker just shrugged. “I'm not an expert like you in that matter, but I actually don't think there's something up with Bokuto, he's just focused.” A nod in the other direction, away from said Bokuto. “Kuroo, however, is behaving a little strange.”
Akaashi followed the gesture and furrowed his brows. Tsukishima was right and now that he had said it out loud, the second year saw it too; Bokuto was just focused on his serves, a rare but possible and very much appreciated state. Meanwhile, Kuroo hadn't made a snarky comment in over twenty minutes and was just spiking a ball against the wall again and again and again, not even really looking at what he was doing. Good to know that it wasn't something going on with the two of them, but the empty expression on Kuroo's face made Akaashi worry nevertheless. Very unusual.
“Kuroo-san?” The ball fell to the ground with a loud THUD and the Middleblocker turned around. His eyes took a second to focus on Akaashi who came closer carefully. “Are you alright?”
“Aw, Akaashi, are you worried for me?” In the blink of an eye, the usual lazy smirk returned to Kuroo's face and he leaned backwards against the wall. “Didn't know I was so important to you.”
“I'm serious, Kuroo-san. You're behaving weird.”
Akaashi noticed how the others were slowly gathering around him; let it be curiosity, like it was probably in Bokuto's case, or actual concern, like in Hinata's and Lev's. Akaashi didn't know why Tsukishima was there. Maybe he just liked having Kuroo on edge, because that was certainly what this whole movement seemed to do to Nekoma's captain. On the one hand, Akaashi felt a little guilty at the nervous flicker in Kuroo's eyes, but on the other hand, the chance that he would just shrug his concerns off was immensely limited by the sheer number of people surrounding him.
Still, he tried his best. “Tsk, wha- I'm not being weird, what are you talking about? Hey, Lev, shouldn't you be practicing receives?” Seemed like his best in a situation like this wasn't good enough though. Akaashi smirked to himself. So much for smug and manipulative.
“Yo, Kuroo, you good?” Perfect, Bokuto had caught on! Despite being a little dense from time to time, his emotional intelligence was impressive. “'Kaashi's right, you look like you saw a ghost. Hey hey hey, did ya? Did ya see a ghost?” Noticing that his friend didn't go along with the wide grin, Bokuto's face switched back to slightly concerned and he tilted his head curiously. “Bro?”
“What?!”, Kuroo snapped and if that wasn't evidence, Akaashi didn't know what would be. “It's nothing, okay? Can you all just stop bothering me and go back to practice?”
Hinata and Lev exchanged a glance, clearly intimidated and were just about to turn away and do as Kuroo said, when suddenly- “You know what I think?” The softness of Tsukishima's voice even sent a chill down Akaashi's spine. “I think you're lying.” The next sound echoing through the gym was a surprised shriek and Kuroo tumbled to the ground, his expression a mixture of withheld laughter and pure horror.
“Hgnnh- w-what are yohou doing?! Stahap! Gehet off of me!”
“No, I don't think I will.” Tsukishima leaned forward a little and now Akaashi could see that he was softly scribbling his fingers over Kuroo's sides, forcing giggles out of the Scheming Captain. “If you don't want to talk about what's concerning you, we'll make you.” Even though it seemed a lot more likely that Tsukishima just didn't want to leave out an opportunity to mess with Kuroo, but Akaashi decided to go with it anyways.
“NAha, Ahakaashi, nohoho!” The fabric of Kuroo's shirt was soft under his fingers as he experimentally dragged them over the captain's ribs. Oh, that got him cackling. Akaashi normally wasn't the type for things like this, but something told him that he wouldn't get Kuroo to talk any other way and in the end, he only wanted to help him! Kuroo might've been annoying most of the- sometimes, but they were still friends. Somehow. Actually maybe they weren't, but Akaashi couldn't stand people around him being sad. “Hohow do you knohow-”
“I saw Kenma nudge your side the other day.” Tsukishima smiled maliciously. “Hate to break it to you, but it was painfully obvious to anyone who was watching. Just as obvious that you're hiding something from us.”
Kuroo's reply was cut off by another shriek, way louder and high pitched, when Bokuto finally decided to join in on the fun, effortlessly grabbed Kuroo's wrists with one hand and stretched them out over his head, only to go directly for the armpits. That sent the Middleblocker straight to the ground and he all but howled with laughter.
Akaashi took off his hands for a second, astonished. He'd only ever seen two people being tickled (Konoha and Komi when Bokuto thought they wouldn't put enough effort into their practice) and he wasn't an expert, but judging by the amazed looks on Bokuto's and Hinata's faces, Kuroo seemed to be extraordinary ticklish under his arms. Hm. Interesting.
“NAHAHA STAHAHAP!” A glimpse over his shoulder showed Akaashi, that the two first years had joined in, curiously nudging Kuroo's hips, making him wheeze in between his fits of laughter. “PLEAHEHEASE! BOHO, DOHOHON'T!”
“So”, Tsukishima smoothly chipped in, gesturing to Bokuto so he would slow down a little, “coming back to the actual topic, what is bothering you?”
“Ihihihi... nahaha...”, Kuroo turned his head to the side as if to hide the blush spreading across his cheeks and Akaashi couldn't tell if it was from the tickling or the general embarrassment, “Ihihi cahan't, ihit's stupid...”
The others exchanged a glance and while Lev shrugged (“Well, at least it's something now.”), Bokuto leaned forwards, unusually serious. “If it makes you all sad and distracted, it's not stupid. We can't help you if you won't talk to us.”
“Mahaybe I don't wahant you toho help- AH! Nonononono, Shrimpfahahaha, stahahap!”
Hinata just smiled innocently while consistently prodding his thighs, right above his knees. “Everybody needs a little help sometimes, Kuroo-senpai. Trust me, it's for the better.”
“Yeah”, Lev agreed and Kuroo honest to God screamed when the first year wiggled his fingers right under his toes, even pulling them back a little to have better access. “And come on, I mean, whatever it is, it can't be as embarrassing as this, right?”
“He's got a point.” Tsukishima lightly shoved Bokuto's hands aside so he could tickle Kuroo's armpits instead and contrary to the Fukurodani Ace, he went soft, calculating and almost excrutiatingly slow on the elder's weakest spot and it didn't take long for Kuroo to absolutely lose it.
If he hadn't been a breathless mess before, he now definitely was and Akaashi was impressed with how long he took it, only giving in after roughly two minutes.
They immediately let go off him, even Tsukishima, and gave Kuroo a little time to catch his breath and come to his senses again. Akaashi hastily got him a bottle of water – hydration was important and considering Kuroo's exhaustion, this must've been almost a workout – and watched as Bokuto helped his friend sitting up and soothingly rubbed all over his back. “Hey, you alright?”
“Yeah, I-I'm fine.” Kuroo leaned back against the wall and closed his eyes, peeking them open for a second after a while only to shut them again immediately when he saw all the others were focused on him. “Gosh, you people suck.”
“Sorry, Senpai.” Lev scooted a little closer. “Are you going to tell us about your concern now?”
Kuroo pulled his legs closer and buried his face in his arms, hugging his knees tightly. His ears took an even darker shade of red. “Fine, but... ugh, I don't know, it's really silly. It's probably nothing. It's just embarrassing.”
“Tell us now!” Bokuto gave Kuroo's side a little nudge, making his best friend flinch hardly.
“Ohohokay, okay! I... I might... Imighthavealittlecrush...”
“What?”, Tsukishima digged deeper and Akaashi couldn't tell if he was for real or just fucking with Kuroo again if his life depended on it.
“I have a crush!”, Kuroo cried out and finally looked up, his blush intensifying even more. “I'm in love, okay, are you happy now?”
“Very”, Bokuto chirped with a satisfied grin. “Who are you in love with?”
“I- I can't tell you.” Kuroo sighed shakily and glimpsed at Tsukishima and Hinata, muttered: “If you guess right, I'll tell you tho. From Karasuno.”
“Shimizu-san? Yacchan?” When both of these guesses were met with a quiet No, Akaashi and Bokuto exchanged another glance before the latter smiled widely. “Was this the reason you were scared to tell us?”
“What?! No! … Maybe.”
“Then you really didn't have to be!” Being the touchy guy he was, Bokuto pulled Kuroo in a tight hug and ruffled his hair. “It's fine, Tetsu, really! So, who is it? Is it Sawamura?”
Kuroo didn't even need to nod, his stunned silence and tight grasping onto his fellow captain's shirt were answer enough and Akaashi could feel Hinata's excited beam before he actually saw it.
“Oooh, that would be so cool if you and Captain were a couple! You have to ask him for a date! Youhavetoyouhavetoyouhaveto-”
“Are you crazy?! No!” Kuroo ripped himself from Bokuto's hug and pushed Hinata so that the first year rolled onto the floor. “I'm not going to ask him for a date!”
Tsukishima cleared his throat softly. “You should, tho. For real.” Before anyone could wonder about where this sudden compassion came from, a typical Tsukishima-scowl appeared on his face. “If you had each other, maybe it would make both of you less of the insufferable romantics that you are now.”
Akaashi couldn't help but smile at the shock on Kuroo's face, at the vehement No and at the following laughter when he fell victim to his friends' ticklish encouragement once again.
“I will kill you, I will actually kill all of you – HEY!” No matter how tall Kuroo was, he couldn't do anything against the united strength of Bokuto and Hinata pushing him into Sawamura's direction. Luckily, the other captain just happened to turn around at that very moment and he looked mildly surprised at most – no wonder, Kuroo approaching him was a daily thing to happen at this point.
“Hi, Kuroo. Can I help you?”
“Ah, no- I mean, yeah, I mean...”, Kuroo took a deep breath and when he threw them a short glance, Akaashi made an encouraging movement with his hand, “W-would you like to... go on a date? With me?” He barely gave Sawamura time to fully comprehend his request, immediately resolving into hectic stuttering; “You don't have to tho, I mean, it's not a big deal if you don't want to, i-it's, uh, what I'm saying is, I-I'd totally understand-”
“Kuroo?”, Sawamura interrupted him and Akaashi saw Hinata and Lev share a fist bump when the Karasuno captain smiled. “I'd love to.”
Accidentally wrote a long ass Drabble. Got carried away during the ticky part.
Hinata couldn’t believe this. He could KILL Kageyama for this!
“Kageyama!” the redhead whined, desperately trying to free his hands.
Kageyama stood and fought back his laughter. He had taken Hinata’s tee shirt sleeves and tied them behind his back. Now poor Hinata’s arms were plastered to his sides.
“Enough you two!” Sugawara snapped from outside the club room, “We have practice in fifteen minutes. Get yourselves together!”
“Good enough for me. See’ya later, Hinata.” The younger setter giggled as he exited the club room, leaving Shoyo to fend for himself.
“YOU JERK, KAGEYAMA!” Hinata barked as he struggled in his jacket.
Poor Shoyo could only wriggle and writhe in his predicament. He eventually gave up, gently smacking his head against the wall.
“You really are an idiot.” A calm voice stated coolly.
“Tsukki! Be nice!” A softer voice.
Shoyo turned around to see his other peers, Tsukishima and Yamaguchi, standing casually in front of him.
“Hey uh... can, can you help me...?” Hinata, clearly flustered, pleaded with his head down.
“Heh. How very.” Tsukishima stated, pushing his glasses up, “So erratic until you need my help.”
“SHUT UP! Please just help me!” Hinata whined, wiggling back and forth.
Against his proper judgement, Tsukishima knew it was code to help your teammates in times of toil. So, the blonde casually walked over to the struggling redhead.
“Sit still moron! Or else I won’t be able to untie this thing!” Tsukki barked, hands planted firmly on Hinata’s sides.
The red headed boy let out a noise even he couldn’t identify, and went very still, practically plastered to the floor.
“Oh don’t tell me.” Tsukki said, mouth agape with a sinister grin.
When the blonde firmed his grip even further, he swore that the boy beneath him jumped at least five inches in the air.
“Oh this is too precious.” Tsukishima cleared his throat to muffle his laughter, “Wonder boy is ticklish.”
“Tsukishimaaaa! No I’m noooooot!” Shoyo whined, wiggling profusely in an attempt to free himself, “stahahahap! ihihihim nohohohohot tihihicklihihihish!”
“Then why are you laughing?” Tsukki chuckled, hands still placed flat and firm, “and you’re doing this to yourself. You’re the one wiggling so much.”
“Dohohohont!” Shoyo soon found himself on the floor, straddled by the much larger first year.
“Don’t what, moron? You have to be more specific. Kageyama must’ve done a number on you.”
“Tihihickle mehehehehehe!”
“Oh dear. Did you hear that Tadashi? I think he wants me to tickle him.” Tsukishima cooed, turning his attention to his friend.
Poor Yamaguchi was vibrating in his place, flustered himself by Tsukki’s evil teasing. Meanwhile Hinata was pleading for his life. He just wanted out of this damn trap!
“I heard no protests. I’m going to go through with it, sound good Tadashi?”
“Y-yeah.”
“WAIT! YAMAGUCHI! TSUKISHIMA! Can’t we talk about thihihihihis?” giggles leaked from Shoyo’s lips as Tsukishima dug into the boy’s sides in earnest. Hinata’s thin shirt did him no favors in providing a shield for his sensitive spots.
“No I‘ve done enough talking for today, thank you.” Tsukishima replied nonchalantly, letting his fingers squish into the boy’s thighs.
“AAA! HEHEHEHEY NAHAHAT FAHAHAHIHIHIR!” Shoyo whined, attempting to thrive about. Tsukki was just too large for him to push off or escape from, so he could only lay there and take his torture.
“All is fair in love and war.” Tsukki replied bluntly, pulling Hinata’s shirt up to his neck, exposing all of the sensitive spots in their glory.
“NO! TSUKISHIMA PLEASE!” Hinata bucked his hips upward, trying to escape his attacker.
“Let’s see if you and Tadashi share a sweet spot.” Tsukishima dipped a finger into Shoyo’s belly button, letting it swirl around the hollow.
“TSUHUHUHUHUHUKKIHIHI- NAHAHAHAHAHAOHOHO!”
“Tsukki eh? Only Tadashi calls me that. You must have more in common than this special spot I suppose.” Tsukishima stated casually, adding another hand to prod at Shoyo’s ribcage.
“IHIHIHI CAHAHAHANT! CAHAHAHANT TAHAHAHAKE IHIHIHIT! TSUHUHUHUKKIHIHIHI!” Hinata howled as he writhed back and forth.
“Pity. Tadashi lasts so much longer.” Tsukishima cooed before bringing his head down and blowing a raspberry on Hinata’s belly button.
Tsukishima smiled fondly and quickly lifted his attack, “Such a power play to hear you begging for mercy. You’re lucky we have practice soon or I may not have been as nice.”
Hinata simply shriveled up as Tsukki stepped off of him. The blonde picked the panting boy up from his position on the floor and rose him to his feet.
“Here. I’ll actually help you now.” Tsukishima gently untied Hinata’s sleeves, helping the boy pull his arms through the holes.
“T-thank you...” Shoyo choked out, “Check on Yamaguchi though? He seemed a little scared.”
Oh it was the opposite. Tadashi was so flustered that he had to exit the room. Soon the club room was filled with the rest of the team, who all had their eyebrows furrowed in disbelief.
“Did Tsukishima actually-“
“SHUT UP KAGEYAMA! You left me all alone! Tied up and thrown to the rats! I could’ve died!” Hinata hissed.
His teammates burst into laughter, causing Shoyo to frown, “It’s not that funny.”
“Tadashi I’m just wondering where you snuck off to.” Tsukishima inquired bluntly, tying the laces for his court shoes.
“Oh! Um... I-Um-heh. I went-um.” Yamaguchi hid his blushing face in his hands, “you-you were being really teasy and I-“
“Couldn’t handle it?” Daichi finished for his underclassman.
“Oh dear. Well, boys, I think we have some time to make things not embarrassing.” Daichi stated with an innocent smile, “Tsukishima seems to be our experienced veteran.”
Summary: Shoyo pulls a prank on kageyama and yachi for April fools and ends up pranking the whole team and getting out of hand and the captain and his teammates was not letting him go unpunished.
Author Note: I know it’s 3-4 days late I was having internet issue sorry about that 😅 everything is good now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Hinata woke up super excited today not like any normal day because to was, April 1st that means he wanted to prank everyone of his friends.
“Get up mom made some good— oh you’re already up” his little sister says marching in just about to exit his room.
“Natsu—” he paused trying to think of something good but not too good to make her cry.
“Yeah?” She responds turning her head around to look at him.
“Did you know that— I’m a secret superhero with superpowers” he said trying to not laugh, natsu turned her whole body towards him with an eager and surprised face.
“Really” she said very high pitched like she was going to explode in amazement.
“April fools” he said bursting out laughing.
Nastu looked so disappointed “you would be a lame superhero anyways” she mumbled as she left his room.
“Shoyo hurry up before your late” his mom yelled.
“Coming” he responded as he quickly put on his uniform, ate breakfast, brushed his teeth, and biked off to school.
He already knew what the next prank it was going to be.
He got to the school and sees kageyama and yachi walking in as he lock up his bike.
“Hey yachi, bakeyama!” Hinata called.
“Huh oh hey hinata!” yachi waved.
“asshole” kageyama grumbled as hinata finally caught up to them and started having a normal conversation about volleyball that’s when he decided to do it.
“Hey guys...” hinata tried to sound sad.
“Yeah what’s up?” Yachi says nicely but still concerned.
“What dumbass?” Kageyama tries to say nicely.
“Well...um I’m quitting volleyball” he says looking down making kageyama drop his volleyball and yachi in shock.
“Y-YOU CAN’T QUIT NOW DUMBASS” kageyama yells at him gripping his shoulders.
Yachi into much shock just runs off to her class with watery eyes when she does she bumps into kiyoko.
“I-I’m so sorry” not making eye contact.
“Yachi? What’s wrong?” Kiyoki says seeing the blonde girl in tears “Shoyou says he was going to quit volleyball” she says trying to hold back anymore tears.
Kiyoko is trying to figure out why hinata would want to quit something he loved.
“SHOYO HINATA ARE YOU SERIOUS” the raven head said confused and mad.
“Shut up stop yelling” hinata says embarrassed noticing people staring.
“Explain now” the raven head demanded.
“April fools..?” Hinata said slightly chuckling.
“Oh my god your so annoying” kageyama says relieved.
“Haha I got you two” he turns and doesn’t see yachi.
“We’re is yachi?” Hinata turns back to kageyama as he asked.
“I don’t know she probably had to got to class early” he shrugged.
“Dang it that means I only got you”.
“Guess so come on let got to class” kageyama grabs the whiney tangerine by his wrist and drags him into class.
Mean while kiyoko meet up with the rest of the third years.
“Did he tell yachi why he was going to quit?” Th captain asked.
“No yachi bumped into me I notice her crying and that’s all she told me before going to class” kiyoko explained.
“Maybe he’s moving schools?” The ace recommended.
“No then he would’ve to yachi that he was changing schools” sugawara said still stumped.
“I know he couldn’t be tired of playing volleyball we’ve made it so far” suga explained.
“Yeah but somethings not adding up” daichi says.
Meanwhile noya and tanaka talking about their mistakes during the practice matches.
“Yeah bro maybe it’s my timing on oof” tanka say be for noya shushes him.
“Dude what the hell” he whispers.
“Shut up shut up I’m trying to hear what they’re talking about” noya explained as he’s listening to the conversation noya’s eyes go wide.
“Dude what is it?!” Tanaka wondered as noya pulls him around the corner.
“Shoyo said that he wanted to quit and their trying to figure out why” noya explained.
“First of why would he ever want to quit second I think we should help too not only as his upperclassman bug as his friends” Tanaka explained.
“Yeah oh wait we can’t ask him until practice ugh damn it” noya figured out.
“True but neither can them so I guess we will all get our answers then” Tanaka says as they head to the class as well.
After Class😌
“Woo volleyball time” Hinata exclaimed.
“Yeah let’s go” kageyama says not looking at hinata.
“Aww was the king worried about me~” hinata cooed teasingly.
“Oh shut up” he says slightly blushing.
They go get changed in the club room as they were walking towards the gym it was quiet. They walked in quietly seeing they team hanging by the bench.
“This is odd normally they would be practicing” hinata whispers not wanting to break the silence.
“Yeah neither one of the coaches are here” kageyama whispers agreeing.
“Ok why haven’t you guys started yet?” Hinata asked
“Hinata is their something you dislike or well hate about volleyball?” Daichi asked.
“Hmm well receiving the ball with my face but I don’t really mind it that much so nothing I love volleyball” hinata explained.
“They why do you want to—“ noya says before asahi covers mouth.
“Dude shut up!” Tanaka shushes him.
“Do you ever plan on stop playing volleyball anytime soon?” Suga asks.
“No like maybe when I’m 89” hinata answers.
“If you able to play then” Tsukishima chuckles.
“Tsukki!” Yamaguchi exclaimed.
“Then why’d you want to quit?!” Tanaka blurted out.
“I see your no better than noya”ennoshita says slapping the back of tanaka’s head.
“Q-quit why would I ever want to— Oh“ hinata aye confused until realizing what he said earlier.
“See I told you bakeyama I got you and yachi” hinata laughs while his team is just looking at them confused.
“Shut up I already knew you we’re kidding!” Kageyama yelled.
“No you didn’t I recall that you had tears in your eyes about to cry” hinata teased.
“YOU LIE” kageyama yells blushing very harshly.
“It was a-a joke?” Yachi said confused but relieved.
“Yeah I said April fools*gasps*” hinata explained before realizing.
“I got all of you haha” hinata laughed.
“Oh so it joke huh?” Tanaka says.
“And you think it’s funny having your teammates worry” noya adds on as him and Tanaka look at captain.
“Yeah this isn’t sliding without you being punished” Daichi said evilly.
“Wha-what d-do you mean um like sit-up, laps, push-ups, diving?” Hinata ask stammering.
“I can already see what’s about to happen and I don’t want to be apart of it knnoshita, Rita if you want to be my guest not me though” Ennoshita explained as he walks to the other side of the gym.
Rita and knnoshita looking confused but followed ennoshita since they didn’t know what he was talking about.
“No I think I have something different in mind you thought it was funny right?”Daichi ask slowly walking towards hinata.
“Uh n-n-no it actually was very st-s-stupid... Asahi?!” Hinata stutters as he backs away bumping into asahi who was standing behind him.
“Sorry sho” asahi apologizes before trapping him in a vulnerable position.
“Um okay? Asahi I enjoy the view but I think I want get down now” he responds trying to get away.
“Oh no that’s not the purpose of him holding you” Daichi explained before looking at Tanaka and Noya giving them the go.
“You got it boss”Tanaka says chuckling as him a noya are on each side of hinata.
“Um you guys are kinda making me feel tense a nervous” hinata admits.
“Oh I think me and Tanaka can help you with not feeling so tense and nervous” he suggested with a smirk on his face before digging into hinata’ s sides.
“Gah Tanahahaka Noyahahaha what are you dohohoing stahahap” hinata giggled
“Mmh no can do man I didn’t appreciate that joke you pulled” Tanaka teased
“Ihit wahahas just a johoke ahaha stahahap”
“And this is just what you get” Noya said back 1-upping him.
