Consider this - Streber's in a bad mood and the others decide to wreck him. There's quite a few of them, so he's kinda screwed isn't he?
Omg but you're so right tho-
Like I can imagine Streber is a frequently stressed person, either a new project isn't going right, or he's stuck on something, or even didn't get enough sleep and is now a cranky lil vampy
And ofc, his friends, being the positive and sweet souls they are, simply cannot let that stand
Ofc it starts off seemingly innocent enough; Streber's being a stressed bean on the couch and Leon and Diego sit on either side of him, Streber assumes to comfort him or something.
That is, until they grab his arms
Just as he's about to ask what the hell's going on, everyone else comes out of nowhere, and Ethan starts talking about how they'd all noticed how stressed Streb has been lately, and ask why. Streber would tell why but immediately brush it off as 'It'll be fine, it'll go away like always'
And then Ethan reminds him how all that stress usually gets taken care of.
And that's when Streber realizes he's in danger.
Suddenly his hands are above his head and everyone's going for a different spot, and everyone has such a unique tickling style so that makes it SO much worse because he can't get used to just a bit of tickling. Because he has two friends holding his arms up (and using their free hands to get his armpits). And four more just going after him.
And all of the different sensations has him going nuts. He's squealing, laughing, snorting, and making all sorts of cute little noises, mixed in with a few 'NOHOT THERE!!'s because Aria's being a bitch and tickling his neck, which she KNOWS is his worst spot and she's being so agonizingly gentle and it's killing him because he's already weak from the literal other five people tickling the shit out of him
Meanwhile Leon and Diego are taking their jobs of attacking the spot they're making vulnerable VERY seriously. Diego is just testing every little spot to see what kind of reactions he can get, and Leon just already knows where to go to light Streber up like a fucken firework
Meanwhile Ethan, probably being the most evil, not only going after his tummy but taking charge of the teasing as well because you cannot TELL me he isn't a teasy jerk. He'll be teasing the whole time, asking him what's wrong, and not where (fucken thanks Aria-) and if it tickles, and how badly it tickles and his brain is just going AAA
And Liv and Confi are being a dual threat, switching between whatever spot they can get, they keep switching it up so Streber can NEVER get used to it. Liv is being quick and erratic, while Confi is testing every spot so fucken slowly and it's killing him he's sure he's gonna die here
After a while, they finally let him go. He curls up and flops onto the laps of the two beside him, snuggling up and still giggling. Liv casually points out that he's fucken broken again before they all snuggle up and put on a movie (more for them, bc Streber end up falling asleep)
He never admits that he wakes up in a far better mood, but they can all tell.
