Hii!!! This is gonna be a long one lol and also I feel a bit weird so sorry in advance🙏🙏 had this random idea about day 11 where it was hurt/comfort, percy jackson heroes of olympus, lee!leo ler!will and leo has to stop by the infirmary after coming back to life to just make sure everything’s alright and he was having a shit day and Will notices and asks him about it and he tells Will about all the things he’d been through (throughout the books or what we’re told previously), and Will gives him a hug and is comforting him and stuff and he accidentally tks him and asks for confirmation if it’s okay and then hugs him and tks him
I KNOW THATS A LOT SO I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND IF YOU CAN’T TAKE THIS ONE OR IF YOU’D PREFER NOT TO BUT WHICHEVER WAY THAT ENDS UP BEING THANK YOU AND I HOPE YOU HAVE. AGOOD DAY/geN
TickleTober Day 11 - Hug
~Uhm, HELLO?!? I LOVE this prompt! Never feel bad for giving me a lot; I love hearing y'all's ideas! ( ^w^ ) It's been a hot second since I've read the books, so I'm sorry if they feel OOC. This takes place in The Hidden Oracle when Leo shows up at Camp HB. Thank you so much for requesting, and I hope you Enjoy!~
Lee: Leo Valdez
Ler: Will Solace
Summary: Leo is feeling like flaming garbage after returning to camp. He visits Will to make sure everything inside him is how it should be. Luckily, the healer knows just how to mend his broken spirits.
Warnings: spoilers for HOO and TOA! This is a tickle fic, so if you don't like that, scroll away!!
“Please keep off that leg for a few days, okay? I know it feels fine, but I don't want you damaging any tissue that didn't fully heal.”
Will smiled tiredly as he sent off the last injured camper from his medical tent. The Colossus had done quite a bit of damage; he'd been helping folks almost the entire day.
With a groan, the blonde collapsed on a clean cot, running a hand down his face. He missed the sound of the tent flap opening, keeping his eyes closed.
“Uh…howdy, stranger.”
The boy jolted upwards, grabbing the nearest item and pointing it at the intruder somewhat menacingly. His face fell when he noticed that, one, he was holding a glove balloon he'd made for an upset camper, and two, Leo was the one in the opening.
“Oh…Leo! Hey, sorry about…yeah. I'm just frazzled.” Will lowered his “weapon,” hopping off the cot to greet the boy. “What's up?”
“You're cool, man. Just wanted to get a checkup, make sure all my insides came back right.” Leo chuckled, poking his own side in an attempt to lighten the mood. He and Will weren't super close; he didn't want things to be awkward.
“Right…right! How could I forget?!” Will immediately sprung up, reinvigorated by guilt and frantic panic. What if Leo's intestines didn't come back right?! It was a godly cure, and they weren't always keen on demigod safety…
“Woah- hey! It's cool, man, it's cool! You've been busy; we're good.” Leo smiled, though it was a little off-putting to Will. He seemed…less. Less excited, less energetic, less snarky.
Less himself.
After he had Leo situated on the cot, he tried to sneakily ask him how he was doing during the checkup. The fiery demigod didn't seem like the type to readily discuss his feelings.
“So how have things been since…ya know.” Will awkwardly asked as he checked Leo's reflexes. The boy's leg kicked out healthily.
“Interesting, I guess. Wish I'd gotten a cool scar or something. Would've been worth it,” Leo joked, though a small part of him was serious. A sick, bad-boy scar wouldn't have been the worst side effect.
“Hmm. Alright…” Now Will was worried; jokes like that weren't a sigh of good mental health. He'd sacrificed himself to save them, but he'd done it pretty secretively.
“Can I touch here? I need to give you a quick physical.” Will pointed to his middle, not wanting to move forward until he had consent. With Leo's nod, he continued.
“I mean, it wasn't horrid, ya know?” Leo began to ramble, trying to fill the semi-awkward silence. It was suffocating. “Sure, it hurt, but… I didn't see the underworld or anything. No real damage done!”
“Leo…” The blonde paused, furrowing his brows. Nope: that was getting addressed.
“Are you okay? Mentally, physically, all of it?”
The brunette bit his lip, feeling his eyes water. Damn it! He'd been trying so hard to stay upbeat; he'd just have to lie.
“I…” Leo's voice broke, and he cursed himself for it. Before he could bury his face in his hands and combust, a strong pair of arms wrapped around him.
“It's okay, Leo. You don't have to be perfectly happy. You're allowed to feel broken.” Will's voice was steady and soothing as he reassured the shorter boy, squeezing him just tightly enough to feel secure.
For a few minutes, Leo just melted into the embrace, letting the tears and the sounds that came with them flow. He'd been bottling up so much since he was revived, and even beforehand.
When it felt like his lungs weren't trying to kill him, Leo attempted to speak. He hated how weak his voice sounded.
“Sorry, I…yeah. Didn't mean to fall apart.” Leo's gaze fell, though quickly snapped back up when he fell Will pull away. The other boy's hands remained on his shoulders, grounding him.
“There's nothing to be sorry for, Leo. You needed to cry after literally dying and coming back to life. That's completely valid.”
How could that boy be so calming, yet make him so sad?! Leo blamed Apollo children's poetry skills.
“O-okay, okay, I get it! Quit making me all mushy, you jerk,” Leo snapped, though he instantly melted back into the hug when Will pulled him in.
“Just making sure you remember.” Will chuckled fondly, feeling a protective urge wash over him. He wanted Leo to feel safe and secure. “You wanna talk about it?”
“I…yeah. Yeah, actually, I do.” Leo nodded, feeling a bit surprised by himself. He usually hated talking about his feelings, but Will was such a nice friend; he felt secure enough to open up.
Leo told him about everything: his mother, the Wilderness camp, the fear of making his decision, the guilt from lying to his friends on the Argo II, the all-encompassing agony he'd endured during his death, the guilt he still felt from making his friends cry and coming back after Jason was gone.
Will listened to all of it, still holding Leo and helping him vent. While most of the content was saddening and serious, the blonde was happy Leo was getting it out.
“I just don't know what to do, ya know? How do I stop feeling so…ick?” Leo splayed his fingers out, trying to show his general unease with his hands.
“There's a few ways, though everyone copes differently. What're you hoping to feel instead of ‘ick’?” Will spoke gently, trying not to use too many big, mentally-concious words. It was still a miracle that Leo opened up at all.
“I dunno…happy, I guess? Less heavy. I wanna go back to feeling like I'm alive, rather than…well, ya know. Burdened.” Leo laughed at that; it felt weird to actually say “burdened” in context.
Will searched his mind, trying to remember something that would help. His thoughts wandered to one of Nico’s bad days, remembering how he'd cheered the boy up. That could work…
“Do you trust me?”
“What?” Leo tilted his head, wondering why Will just suddenly asked that. Random… “Uh, yeah. Why?”
“Hold your arms out. If you hate it, tell me to stop, and I will.” Will's words were cryptic, of course; he didn't wanna spook Leo by outright asking for the goofy permission. He really did think it would help.
“Uh, okay?” Leo did as he was told, holding his arms out by his sides. The scenario felt vaguely familiar, though he couldn't place why.
Will wrapped his arms around Leo's middle once again, holding him close. Before the son of Hephaestus could question him, he felt ten wiggling fingers on each of his sides.
“Pfft- whahahahat?! Wihill!” Leo squirmed in place, his arms snapping down to his sides. Will's were already blocking the way, so he couldn't really protect himself from the tickles.
“What? Everyone needs a good laugh sometimes. These are a good way to lighten up.” Will shrugged, settling his chin on Leo's shoulder. He could feel the abnormal heat radiating off the boy, but it only made him even more comfy.
“S-seheheriously? Thihis is duhuhumb!” Wriggling around, Leo tried to pry Will's hands off. Thanks to their position, he could really only swipe at the blonde's forearms and complain.
“If you don't like it, just tell me to stop. You know I will.”
Ugh, that wasn't fair! Leo didn't actually want him to stop, but he was basically making him admit that! It was ruining his bad boy image!
“Shuhut uhuhup, Solace!”
That made Will's dumb grin double in size. Leo couldn't see it, but the sunshine boy was really happy that he was enjoying the tickles. One, he found another friend that enjoyed them, and two, he was actually helping Leo feel better. Two birds, one stone!
“I wonder if your ribs are ticklish…” Will thought out loud, moving his hands up to scribble on the backs of Leo's ribcage. He wasn't disappointed; belly laughter quickly replaced the giggles, filling Will's ears.
“CRAHAHAHAP!” Leo's warm hands settled on Will's shoulders, squeezing as he tried not to violently squirm. A very not-nice word slipped through his laughter, making Will gasp.
“Leo Valdez! Language!” Will pretended to be angry, doubling down on the rib tickles. Okay, maybe that was hypocritical—he’d said much worse during stressful moments—but it was too fun to pass up. “I won't tolerate profanity in my med bay!”
Leo snorted—dear gods, snorted—as the sensations intensified; he was losing control of himself. His hands were heating up more and more, and that only led to one thing.
“OHOKAHAHAY! *snort* STOHOHOP!”
Will immediately stopped the tickling, switching to rubbing gentle circles on Leo's back. His palms rubbed over the backs of the giggly boy's ribs, helping to ease the phantom sensations.
Leo flexed his hands as he calmed down, feeling the heat recede back into his arms and deep into his chest. Despite nearly losing control, he felt…really damn good.
“W-wohow.”
“See? Told you it would help.” Will's fond tone was appreciated, though it appealed to Leo's more mischievous side; he was already plotting revenge.
“Fihine, yeah, you were right.” Leo tried to be sarcastic, but the weight had been lifted off his chest. Even if it was only temporary, he felt relieved. “Thanks, Will. Seriously.”
“No problem, Leo. If you ever need another quick dose, I'm always here.” Will gave Leo's side a little poke, earning a giggly growl.
“Watch it, Solace. You've got one coming.” Leo gave the blonde one last hug before heading out of the tent, feeling ten pounds lighter than when he entered. He was definitely going to return the favor…
Will smiled, quickly sanitizing the cot Leo was on before allowing himself to fully relax. Man, that was fun; the stress from before was gone, leaving him tired, but happy.
After a few minutes of rest, he hauled himself out of his cot and went to find Nico. Some cuddles would be the perfect way to end such a busy day. And hey, maybe he'd drop a few hints about Leo's treatment.
Uhmmm first post I’m kinda nervous ngl (👉👈) but yehehe
Leonardo
Lee
• I like hc’ing strong serious people as super ticklish, so Leo is EXTRAORDINARILY ticklish.
• He would probably be tickled quite a lot by his brothers whenever he’s being too serious or angsty.
• His brothers also like tickling him because it gives them a sence of superiority and leadership over him + seeing their serious older brother becoming nothing more than a ball of laughter makes them happy.
• His sides.
• if you squeeze his sides he will SCREAM.
• Even just using one finger to lightly scrape down his sides will cause him to go crazy.
• Something that he refuses to admit (even if he’s being tickled to death) is that he genuinely doesn’t mind being tickled.
• If anything, he likes it.
• It makes him feel like he can finally be less serious and seeing his ler laugh along with him makes him feel warm.
• Little does he know, his brothers all kinda figured that out.
• I mean, he could whoop his ler’s shell easily if he wanted to, but he just doesn’t.
Ler
• He does not tickle people often…
• …which makes it worse when he does since its so unexpected.
• He can trap anyone , anyone , under his grasp and tickle them senseless.
• He teases people about their confidence, like; “Where did all your confidence go?” “I remember you said “(thing that made him tickle you)”, wanna say that again?” Ect…
• He only tickles people for playful revenge and doesn’t stop until he’s satisfied and/or gets a proper apology from his lee.
Raphael
Lee
• Now, he hates being tickled.
• That doesn’t mean he’s not ticklish.
• Since he hates being tickled, he will murder anyone who even attempts to tickle him.
• His stomach is SOOOO TICKLISH!!
• There are some instances where he can’t get out.
• And that is when Leo is the ler.
• He’s going to crumble down to nothing when Leo tickles him.
• Since he’s made it clear he doesn’t like to be tickled, Leo doesn’t really tickle him that often.
• Unless theyre in an argument or a (/j) physical fight.
Ler
• Him as a ler is a completely different story.
• He is a rough ler.
• He will pin his lee down and hold them down whilst he tickles them.
• He also likes to hold his lee’s arm to the side and use his free arm to tickle their side (bonus points if his lee can’t use their free arm to protect their side)
• He tickles people to either annoy them, or make Mikey his lee shut up.
• I’d say he’s the one tickling people the most.
• Probably because Mikey wont stop pissing him off.
• He will tease his lee by making them feel more vounrable, like; “C’mon, its only a bit of tickling…” “Ha! You can’t move at all, can you?” “I ain’t letting you go until ___…”
Donatello
Lee
• Sigh.
• I’m sorry guys.
• For some reason i just can’t see most Donatello’s as ticklish ….
• BUT DONT YOU WORRY!!
• Yes, i dont see most Donnie’s as ticklish (including 03), but that doesnt mean i wont make random HC’s.
• Ok so uhhhh, his stomach would be his tickle spot!
• Again, I’m sorry, but he’s not that ticklish 😭
• The most you’re gonna get out of him is perhaps a giggle (which Mikey hates.)
• Unless you team up with multiple people.
• Since he’s on everyones good list, no one really has any motives to gang up on him and tickle him,
• But if that were to happen, he would be screaming of laughter.
• I feel like he doesn’t mind being tickled (mostly cause he’s not super ticklish), and he hasn’t really tried to hide that fact either.
• He doesn’t hate it, he isn’t begging people to tickle him, its just kinda in between.
Ler
• He probably wont tickle people a lot.
• But he definetly does.
• He’s a light tickler, scribbling on his lee’s torso.
• But when time calls for it, he can and will be ruthless.
• Mostly with angsty Leo or annoying Mikey.
• He will dig into his lee’s tickle spot and absolutely murder them.
• Not to annoy them, but just to make them smile more or make them shut up. Cough. Mikey.
• If he finds out you’re ticklish, he will probably lightly tickle you to hear your laughter.
• He probably gives his lee a pat on the back or a bear hug when he’s done.
Michelangelo
Lee
• Oh, how he loves annoying his brothers.
• But if they don’t feel like whooping his shell (or Splinter is nearby) they will tickle every annoying word out of him and won’t stop until they get a proper apology.
• He is the most ticklish out of them all and gets tickled the most as well.
• Sometimes he purposely annoys his brothers so they can tickle him (lee mood fr).
• There have been multiple times where he has been gang tickled by all his brothers (canon because i said so)
• I’m telling you. Walking tickle spot.
• He is ticklish everywhere.
• I feel like his ribs and armpits would be especially ticklish.
• He would be like; “WAHAHAHAIT!! IHIM SAHAHAHAHA SOHORRYHAHA!” “NOT THEHERE!! PLEHEHEASE!!” “IHIT TIHIHICKLES!!”
Ler
• If he finds out you’re ticklish, consider it game over.
• He loves tickling people to either annoy them or to see them smile.
• He is a big teaser.
• “Aww, is someone ticklish?”
• “What was that? Sorry, can you repeat that?” *tickles his lee harder*
• If you’re shorter than him, he will pick you up whilst tickling you, making you thrash around in the air.
Yay another fic!!! Not as long as I wanted it to be but whatever lol. And yes it’s more disaster twins bc I’m a little obsessed with them ❤️
Also I haven’t gotten to fully do a read through edit so if there’s any mistakes or something pliz excuse them lol.
Warnings: This fic contains tickling, so if that’s not your speed just keep scrolling
Summery: Leo stole Donnie’s tools and won’t tell him where they are. Donnie will have to use a certain method to get Leo to tell him where they are.
“LEO WHERE ARE THEY!?” Donnie screamed after the red eared slider as he sped after him. Leo thought it would be hilarious if he stole some of Donnie’s tools and hid them at random.
Now he was really in trouble.
Leo just dashed through the living room where he ran in on Mikey and Raph who were just hanging out on their phones.
Not a moment later Donnie appeared from the room entrance right after him.
“YOU!” Donnie snarled as he pointed a finger accusingly at him. Raph and Mikey both smiled at their two younger brothers. It was just another normal day in the lair. They figured they’d leave them too it to sort out on there own whatever it was they were fighting about.
The twins soon began playing a game of cat and mouse, circling the couch as one chased the other. Soon, with a burst of angry energy, Donnie was able to gain on the blue clad, and he tackled him to the ground, straddling him on the floor.
Leo decided to try fighting back and poked at Donnie’s side, to which Donnie flinched and almost fell off him. “Oh? You want to play it that way huh?” Donnie asked with an evil smirk.
A metal arm came out of his battle shell and grabbed Leos arms, pinning them above his head firmly.
“Now.” Donnie began. “You will tell me where you have hidden every one of my tools. Or else.”
Leo squirmed a little in the hold, but when he realized he wasn’t getting out of this, he decided he might as well mess around with his dear twin. “No.” He said with a smirk.
Donnie raised an eyebrow. “Wrong answer Nardo…”
And he began digging into his sides. Leo burst into giggles as he tried shaking off the hands with his own body, but it was practically no use. “Ihihihi dohohont hahahve to tehehell yohohou ahahanythihihing!!!” He said defiantly.
“Oh you think so do you?” Donnie replied back. “Well then, I guess you won’t mind me doing this?” And he began scratching at the sides of his shell, making Leos laughter go up a few octaves.
“Leo, why must you insist on doing this the hard way?” Donnie asked with a sigh.
“Ihihihi Dohohont knohohow ahahanythihihng!!!” Leo told him through his laughter.
“Oh playing dumb now are we Leon? Fine, I didn’t want to resort to this, but this ought to loosen your tongue…”
And he began to squeeze at his thighs. A deadly ticklish spot.
“NAHAHAHA DAHAHAHONNIHIHIEE!!!” Leo squealed through newly erupted cackles. He desperately wiggled his leg around in attempt to dislodge the torturous hands, but Donnie’s hands weren’t going anywhere.
Soon Leos laughter went all silent and wheezy, and Donnie had no choice but to give him a break. However he kept a hand on on of his thighs.
“Well?” He asked the now red faced, teary eyed, and breathless slider.
“F-fihihne!” Leo surrendered through his remaining giggles. “Y-your… wrench.. is on.. on top of… the fridge. The screwdriver… is… under my bed. And that bag thingie of… small metal bits… is behind the TV over there.” At the last confession, he pointed to where the TV was.
“That all?” Donnie asked with a raised eyebrow.
“Y-yes… fIHIHihihne!!!” Donnie had twitched his thigh clamped fingers threateningly.
“Y-yohohour drill is in splinters dojo.”
Donnie narrowed his eyes and began, more gently now, squeezing at his thigh.
“THAHAHAHATS AHAHAHALL IHIHI SWEHEHEAR!!!!” Leo shreiked, now trying more desperately to wrestle his hands out of the metal arms.
“Oh I know.” Donnie said with a grin. “This is just payback for messing with my stuff.”
“WHAHAHAT NOHOHO FAHAHAHAIR!!!”
“Uh, scoff! On the contrary, it’s completely fair. You did the crime and now you must pay for it.”
Ranking them 1-4 which would you say is the most to least ticklish tmnt? and why? (if you have a reason) 0.0
Oooo yes!
1- Leo, because we saw how he reacted to tiny paper people tickling him now imagine that x10 worse with actual fingers, he's a walking tickle spot and I love him more than anything
2- Mikey, It comes with being the youngest but he is also a walking tickle spot he just has protection on his death spot but he's just so adorable you can't get mad at him for itt /pos
3- Donnie, he's ticklish yes but it's not as bad as the other two, he doesn't react to light tickles as much either but if you pinch his thighs it's over so I think he's better trained for it but I also just see him more as a ler-lean
4- Raph he is ticklish yes but not that much, get his spikes though oohhh he's gone! There's only a few other spots on him but none really get him laughing too much
rottmnt tickle head cannons? What is your favorite tickle trope for Rise? (As in who is your favorite Lee/ler scenario)
🐢Rottmnt Tkl Headcanons♡
~Oooooh my Rise hcs! Sorry I've been so dead recently, school is kicking my ass this semester (⊙﹏⊙). I'll do character hcs first, and the trope thing at the end. Much longer than my others for sure. I need to do more for these skrunkles tbh. Slight Rise spoilers if you squint. Sorry this took 8,000 years, and thank you for requesting!~

💥Raph🧸
General:
We can all agree that this big ol’ teddy bear loves tickles, right?
Be it a fluffy comfort or destroying a bratty brother, Big Raphie is up for it.
Taking this into account, he feels like a switch.
Might admit he likes it around the right person, though his brothers have known for years.
He has to really trust someone to tell them.
Doesn't wanna seem like he's unfit to protect his brothers. As you can probably guess, he gets lovingly ejected from that mindset when people find out.
Lee:
If he gets a lee mood, he tries to hide it and fails miserably.
Big boy will have the dopiest grin around his playful brothers, which he does a horrible job at hiding.
Can't seem to focus on his advice-giving or training. It doesn't take long for his brothers to notice.
Worst spot is his underarms. You get him there and he'll give every dog near a NYC sewer grate a headache.
Melt spots are his palms and beneath his chin. Gentle scratches on either surface melt him into a happy, giggly puddle.
Likes being tickled by anyone really close to him. He's just gotta be in the right mood for it. April kills him most often.
Amazing thing to do to him is gentle melt-spot attention to help him relax. Toss in some reassurances and praise while you're at it. He'll be in a blissful daze for hours.
Ler:
Mostly a revenge-ler, but he can also randomly get ler moods.
He loves the Tickle Monster persona, always uses it on his brothers when they're being shitheads.
A softer ler, though he isn't afraid to wreck someone if they refuse to quit (or ask).
When he's being nice, soft scribbles, flurries of pokes, and side squeezes.
“Cootchie-coo, ya cutie!”
When he's not-so-nice, you get one or two giant, inescapable tickle-claws attacking you, big squeezes and occasionally neck nibbles if he's feeling evil.
Mikey, Leo and April get it most often, though each for different reasons.
Mikey straight up asks, and big bro is more than happy to provide. Boy loves a willing lee.
Leo’s always a shit, and some Raphie tickles work wonders on taking him down a peg.
April either offers to let him tickle her as a stress/mood reliever or engages a tickle fight.
He gives the best aftercare ever (*˘︶˘*)｡♡. Cuddles, back rubs, maybe a nap in his cozy lap if you're comfortable with it. Potential hot chocolate if you're patient.
🗡️Leo✨
General:
Sassy man gives off ler-leaning switch.
Always in the mood to lovingly murder his brothers’ lungs, but occasionally likes to forget his name.
This playful goof definitely likes tickling, though he refuses to admit it. He needs to protect his coolness, afterall.
Lee:
When the lee mood hits, everyone in the house is immediately notified. Not directly, of course, but it's pretty obvious that something's up.
WAY more one-liners and flippy jokes than normal. Awkward finger guns at the end of jokes, little prods and pokes for no reason, just general annoyance.
In his mind, he'll either annoy them into wrecking him, or they'll pick up on it and help. Either way, he gets tickled.
If anyone tickles him, it's usually either Raph or Mikey. Raph gets tired of his shit the quickest, and Mikey is good at reading people.
Worst spots are his thighs and feet. Get him there, and there's no way he'll be able to even think about sassing anyone through his laughter.
Melt spots are his forearms. After a long day of patrolling the city and being awesome, some light traces there will make him a very happy turtle.
Ler:
Okay but the SASS
He's such a teasy bastard of a ler. Will tease and coo at his lee until they're a flustered, blushy mess. Then he'll call ‘em cute one more time, just because he can.
He frequently gets ler moods, but those are way easier to take care of than their opposite.
Most of the time, his lee will be Mikey or Donnie. His bubbly brother is almost always in the mood for a good tickle “fight,” and Donnie needs to relax sometimes.
Has a bit of a rough style, but does get softer moods sometimes.
During regular moods, he loves to dig into sides and bellies, attack death spots and blow raspberries to hear a lee squeal.
On softer occasions, he'll gently skitter his fingers along death spots, switching places whenever the giggling gets too loud. Maybe some tickly kisses if you're lucky
His aftercare typically consists of cuddling during a Jupiter Jim movie, snacks, and gentle praises. Makes sure his victims are smiling, even when his fingers aren't wiggling.
🎨Mikey☀️
General:
Sunshine boy loves tickling, both as a bonding activity and a coping method.
He's a lee-leaning switch for sure. Ready to get his ass handed to him, but open to helping out his brothers’ lee moods or cheering someone up.
Has magical “can say the t-word at any time” powers. You know he abuses the absolute heck out of said powers, too.
Lee:
Lee moods are no rare thing for this boyo.
Gets them very frequently, though he's actually able to ask for help when he needs it.
Either accidentally or on purpose, he's able to fluster his ler. He'll ask for more, one specific spot, tell them that they're doing an awesome job, ect.
When he gets super stressed, some cheer-up/calm-down tickles are much appreciated ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
A massive squirmer, he can't help it. Make sure to pin or hold him, or you might get an elbow to the nose (accidentally, of course; he'd never stop apologizing).
Worst spots are his knees and neck. Either spot gets him screeching, though he isn't likely to try and stop you.
Melt spot is his palms. With his mildly-terrifying mystic magic, some feather-light touches can be reassuring. Just make sure to ask first.
Everyone kinda rotates through wrecking him, though Raph and Donnie kinda dominate the field.
Either because they catch on/get annoyed the quickest or something else, he's usually found with them.
Ler:
Surprisingly formidable ler
Don't let his cinnamon-roll vibe fool you: this man can and will wreck your shit.
Tweaks his style a bit for each person. Super observant and tailors how and what he does to each lee.
Compliment-teases are his specialty. He'll have you blushing in 5 seconds flat.
“Aww, I love your blush! It's so bright and cute, just like you!”
“This squishy belly is just so ticklish, isn't it? Here I thought it was just adorable!”
“Was that a snort? No, don't hide it! Those are the best!”
His ler moods are a bit rarer, but they are absolutely something to fear (or enjoy while they last (◡ ω ◡)).
Super sweet aftercare. You can't escape cuddling (unless you can't handle the touch, he'll understand). Usually some hand-baked treats as well, depending on what he has hidden from his brothers.
General:
🛠️Donnie👾
He's a ler-leaning switch, but that's mainly because he's not always open for being touched.
He gets lee moods, but they're rarer. People have to ask before they try anything.
Even with ler moods, not always open to get somebody.
Communication with this boy is key.
Lee:
It takes a good combination of good day + not overstimulated + in a touchy mood, but he does get lee moods.
Tries to hide and ignore them, but it never works out. Either Shelldon finds him and helps, or one of his brothers stumbles across the mood.
If he’s super overwhelmed with a project and okay with touch, some light tickles are perfect for bringing him back to Earth.
Little hand flaps and kicks when you get him. Happy stims galore! (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)
Worst spot is his soft shell, though armpits are a close second. Loud, bright and occasionally hysterical reactions.
Melt spots are his belly plastron and tops of his thighs. Gentle traces and scratches on either spot leave him a stimmy, giggly puddle.
Most of the time, it’ll be Leo who tickles him. It’s usually for help calming down, though April isn’t far behind.
Will never admit it, but he does enjoy both sides of tickling.
Ler:
You know this mans uses his shell attachments to wreck people.
Those metal claws? Yeah, good luck- =͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇)
Very dramatic commentary on his lee’s reactions. His inner theater kid loves to shine. Either that, or complete monotone. There’s no in-between, and he’s never offered an explanation.
“Oh my, you’re laughing rather hard, my dear gigglebug!”
“Judging by this raucous laughter, I’d say this is your worst spot.”
“Oh, it tickles? Really badly? How unfortunate for you…”
Has absolutely made tickle-specific gadgets and I will die on this hill.
Remember the feather staff feature from the Shredder episode? He didn’t just have that for no reason.
Usually wrecks Mikey and/or Leo. They’re both very talented at provoking him, either on purpose or by accident.
His aftercare depends on his mood. If he’s cool with touch, he’ll cuddle and watch a movie with you. If not, you’ll usually get some pats from his claw and snuggles from Shelldon (yes lil’ dude is fine gimme a break)
📹April⚾
General:
Hmmmm toughie, but I’d say ler-leaning switch. Not all that ticklish, but willing to help if one of her brothers is in a bad ler mood.
She just kinda prefers to do the tickling most of the time, unless it’s for her bros.
Extremely confident, bears the magic power of saying the t-word whenever she pleases. You know she puts it to good use, too.
Being the sister of the family, she’s gotta put her bros in their places. Why not use tickling?
Lee:
While it’s not often, she’ll let Big Raphie tickle her if he needs to.
Sometimes that boy just needs someone to reassure him that he’s not hurting them while giggling their brains out.
She’s pretty good at sitting still, amazing poker face. Could easily dominate in the Arms Up game.
As I said before, not super ticklish. Serves her well in tickle fights (˵ ¬ᴗ¬˵)
Only her ribs really get her laughing, but other than that it’s bubbly, pitchy giggles.
Doesn’t really have a melt spot, though if she had to choose a favorite, it’d be her belly.
Ler:
VERY very teasy. Easily-flustered lees be warned (˘ ˘ ˘)
Loves seeing her lee blush and sputter, finds it endlessly adorable.
“What? Oh, it tickles? Good, thought I might’ve been going too easy on ya!”
“Oooo, someone’s blushin’! How cute~”
“Wonder what would happen if I went for your worst spot… Only one way to find out!”
Giggles along with her lee. They’re adorable—how could she not?
As big sis, it’s her job to keep her brothers in line. Why not use tickling?
Frequently gives Raph calm-down/confidence-boosting tickles. Boy’s too stressed, in her opinion.
After him, it’s helping Donnie relax or pry him away from a project. Leo also needs to be taken down a peg every once in a while.
Super snuggly aftercare. Back rubs, praises and even some teases for the road, if ya catch my drift~
🔥Cassandra🏒
General:
I’m feeling ler on this one. She doesn’t seem like she’d enjoy being tickled too much, though she definitely doesn’t mind wrecking others.
Before the Hamato fam stepped in, she didn’t really have much experience in the tickly field.
Maybe one of her foot-face mentors, but other than that, nada.
That absolutely changes when she joins the bros.
Ler:
Ready to vanquish any “enemy” lee mood to help her friends out.
Rougher style normally, though she can be convinced to dial it back. You wanna forget your name? She’s your gal.
Takes her role sorta seriously, though she can be playful. Just depends on her mood.
If she does tease, it’s more observational than anything.
She just kinda says flustering stuff without meaning to.
“Well, no duh it tickles. That’s the whole point!”
“Not there? You asked me to tickle you, but scold me the moment I get somewhere? I don’t think so!”
Attacks everyone pretty evenly, but she does have a preference for April and Raph. They’re the most fun to take down, in her opinion.
Cass respects boundaries, of course. You genuinely want her to stop and she’ll be off you in seconds.
Doesn’t grasp the concept of aftercare quite yet. Once you can breathe, she’ll start asking for feedback.
“How was that? Did it really tickle? Details, giggler, details!”
If specifically requested, though, she does give a mean back-rub and/or massage. If your back or neck is ticklish, though, you’re gonna have a whole new problem~ ( ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )
💮Splinter🐀
General:
Splints has ler energy, ya know?
Like April, not super ticklish. He isn’t the biggest fan of being tickled, but if it’s with very specific people, he’ll tolerate it.
Doesn’t interact tickle-wise very often, but he does have his moments.
Is very aware that his children love it and tries to connect with them in that way sometimes.
Ler:
With his ninja skills and small size, he can take down even the brattiest of lees in seconds.
You see his tail? Yeah, absolutely uses it to help wreck his victims.
Very playful, goofy ler. Laughs along with his lee, makes little comments on their reactions.
“Oh my, little one. I never would have thought you’d be so sensitive!”
“Heheh, what a cute laugh! You really should let me hear it more often!”
When he notices any of his kids are down in the dumps, he sneaks in a few pokes and scritches with his tail.
If that doesn’t work, they get the full-Splints treatment. Reassuring teases, rougher tickles and his undivided attention.
He’ll bug Draxum when he feels like it, which is more funny than anything.
Reducing the broody goat-man to a giggling, cursing mess is therapeutic for him ( ͡º ꒳ ͡º)
His aftercare is light and sweet. Head pats, reassurances, and a small cookie break for a nice close.
🌱Baron Draxum🐐
General:
Before the turtles, had little to no idea what tickling was about.
Sure, he knew that people laughed when it happened, but he couldn’t tell what was so great about it. It was just touch and laughter - no big deal.
Once the teetles got ahold of him, though? Yeah, that view changed pretty quick.
Turns out he’s a switch. Likes “destroying his nuisances” with the harmless technique, but doesn’t mind it being used on him.
Will never admit the latter, though.
Lee:
A LOT more ticklish than one would imagine. Like a few squeezes will leave him giggling and blushing like there’s no tomorrow.
He’s pretty good at hiding his lee moods, though they definitely aren’t repressible. Draxy feels them, but can keep others in the dark.
If anyone’s gonna notice, it’ll be Lou (Splinter). He knows the man the best, thanks to Mikey’s whole “fatherly-bonding” push.
Splints will help, though he’ll tease the shit out of the Baron the entire time.
While he’ll never tell the rat man, he enjoys the silly exchanges.
Worst spots are his hips and shoulder blades. Either place will have him stuck in a snorty, rumbling bout of hysterics.
Melt spots are his palms. He adores gentle traces there, lets him know somebody cares.
Ler:
Absolutely uses his mystic powers to help him.
Those vines? Yeah, restraints and tickle tools for days
Very smug ler, likes to tease his lees until they’re flustered messes. It’s done out of love, though, so can you blame him?
“This must be torturous, huh? The vines holding you still, my fingers on your worst spots… However, I don’t think I’ve heard you say stop…”
Usually tickles the teens if they’re annoying him, but also goes after Lou every so often.
He knows there’ll be repercussions, but life’s no fun without a little risk.
Huginn and Muninn are next in line. Surprising no one, they’re and attention whores. Draxy makes sure they get their fills.
Not the best with aftercare, but he tries. Back rubs and light praises while you catch your breath. Maybe some of his “confectionary wonders” if you’re brave enough.
*✧◍Favorite Trope & Lee/Ler Pairing◍✧*
Okay, so there’s no way I can pick a single favorite pairing. I love them all too much! I can, however, name my top 3.
lee!Raph, ler!April is definitely up there. I adore the big-siblings energy in their fics, and they just bond so well!
Pretty much anything with lee!Donnie in it. I love seeing the smarty-pants get got ( •̀ ᵕ •́ )
lee!Draxum and ler!Splinter. Okay, hear me out, but I love redemption arcs and enemies to friends/lovers/co-parents or whatever you wanna call what they have going on. They’re fun and I like fun.
For my favorite trope, I’m gonna have to go with cheer-up tickles, or more specifically, some stop-stressing-tf-out tickles. It’s always so fun to read how people would cheer up the boys, as well as write some super duper, totally not self-indulgent fics like that for myself. Maybe one day they’ll see the light, but don't count on it lol (¬////¬)
Here's an idea that popped into my head! Not long after the Kraang invasion, Leo's been worried about being too childish and creating more problems. He starts overcorrecting this by acting all serious and no-nonsense, trying too hard to be a mature leader.
His brothers see what's going on and miss their silly, sunshiny goofball. Soon enough, they decide to take matters into their own hands and launch a tickle attack to drag his silly side back to the surface.
Missing the sunshine
Hey hey hey!!! This took longer than I expect it to take to write this but ahhhhhh I love this group so friggin much. Hope you enjoy the fic and have a great day ❤️
Also this just might be one of my longest fics I’ve ever made lol so strap in ig. But again, I hope you like it!
Warnings: Tiny bit of angst but fluffy for the most part
Summery: The mad dogz miss Leos goofy and outgoing personality after the Kraang invasion, so they use an old childhood method to bring it back.
It’s been a week since the Kraang invasion. The four brothers were shaken up of course, but more or less they were fine. Well.. almost all of them.
Leo seemed to be the one most affected out of all of them. Perhaps it was because he was the one who ended up in the prison dimension?Because he was the one who almost died and tried sacrificing himself? Or because he was the leader now? Or maybe because he had so much on his shoulders that it was taking especially long for him to recover?
Whatever the case was, they missed their brother. The one who was always making one liners. The face man. The one who fired up the team when all hope seemed utterly lost. Nowadays he either worked them to the bone in training, or moped around, which was very much unlike him, since he used to be lazy about training. They hadn’t even heard him crack a single joke since before he got stuck in the prison dimension.
Donnie, Raph, and Mikey knew something had to be done. How can they help him go back to his old self? Instead of being serious and depressed.
“Hey Leo..?” Donnie asked popping his head through the door to his bedroom, “Do you want to come and skateboard with us? Bet I could beat you in a race.”
Leo, who had just been practicing his swords, looked at him, tempted to answer yes, but he backtracked and sighed “No… sorry Don. Not in the mood.”
Donnie stared at him incredulously. THE Leonardo Hamato just turned down skateboarding AND a challenge. Yep, this confirmed something was wrong.
“Why don’t we just train instead?” Leo asked, seeing Donnie’s worried expression.
“We’ve done nothing BUT training thanks to you.” Donnie complained. “I only hoped we could have fun for a change. Yknow, like we used to?”
Leo didn’t reply. He went back to practicing with his swords. Donnie frowned and went to the others.
“It’s a no go guys,” Donnie informed them, “sorry.”
“What?” Raph wondered. “He didn’t even want to skateboard?”
“He seemed to want to at first.” Donnie explained. “But something seemed to hold him back from saying yes.”
“What do you think it is Donnie?” Mikey asked.
“Hmm.. I’m not sure. He seems way more serious than he used to. Do you think it’s because Dad made him leader? And now he thinks he isn’t allowed to enjoy himself or have fun?”
“Hmm… I think I know what we can do to help him.” Mikey said, a hint of mischief in his voice. “Do you guys remember when we were kids, and whenever Leo was sad or grumpy, we’d tickle him till he’d feel better?”
A smirk grew on Donnie’s face. “I see where you’re going with this and I think you are a genius. Far second to me of course…”
“Guys,” said Raph, “let’s get our brother back!”
After some planning, they knew exactly what to do, and that night they decided to set it into motion. “Hey Leo?” Donnie popped a head through his door again.
“What is it Donnie?” Leo asked with a sigh. He was at it again with his swords, practicing. Donnie didn’t want to know how long he’d been doing that for.
“We… have a surprise for you…” Donnie told him tentatively, nervous that he wouldn’t take the bait. “Thought maybe you’d want to check it out?”
Leo looked at him with a puzzled expression, but he put his swords down and turned to him. “Lead the way.”
Donnie led his twin to the living room, where Raph and Mikey waited. “Hi Leo!” Mikey greeted him exitedly.
“Hey… so what exactly are you guys up to?”
Donnie smirked “Oh it’s just a little something we’ve been really wanting to give you. You’ve been seriously overdue for it anyway.”
“Overdue? Donnie what do you-“ Leo was cut off when Raph suddenly shouted “MAD DOGZ ATTACK!!!”
Before he could begin to process what was happening, the bigger of the four had him pinned down with his brute strength, settling on his thighs.
“R-Raph… d-don’t- get off me!” Leo protested, attempting uselessly to push him off.
“Donnie get his arms!” Raph ordered.
“With pleasure.” Donnie said with a small grin as his metal arms came out of his battle shell and forced Leos wrists over his head.
“Mikey would you like to do the honors?” Raph asked his youngest sibling.
Mikey grinned and nodded. “You KNOW it!!!”
“M-Mikey… g-guys, what’s going on??”
“Well Leon. You’ve been quite depressing to be around for the passed few days. We hoped this might help.”
And with that Mikey went right for his sides. Leo bursted into bubbly giggles. It was then the three attackers realized how much they missed that noise from him. “Guhuhuyss!!! Thihihs ihihs sohoho chihihildihish!!!!!!” Leo protested helplessly, trying to squirm out from under the heavy weight that was Raph. “Trust me bro, you need a bit of childishness right now.” Raph told him. “Lehehet mehehe gohoho ihihim buhusy!!!”
“Not until you’re you again!” Then he turned to Donnie. “Donnie?”
Donnie nodded, approached the victim, and began digging his fingers into his armpits. “AHAHAHA DOHOHNN!!!” Leo let out embarrassingly loud cackles. He arched his back as the sensitive flesh was being attacked all over. “We’ll stop when you promise to stop being so tense and serious.” Donnie bargained.
“WHAHAHAT AHAHRE YOHOU TAHALKING ABAOHOHUT??!!!” He yelled/asked through his laughter.
“You’ve been so grumpy and serious ever since the invasion.” Mikey told him. “We miss the old Leo who joked around.”
“THIHIS IHIS SOHOHO STUHUPIHID!” Leo told them. I mean really, torturing him because he was ‘too serious’?
“Ok then dear brother. I guess we have to do this the hard way. He began kneading into his thighs. The effect was instantaneous. Leo shreiked and burst into full on belly laughter.
“AHAHAHA OHOHKAHAY IHIHM SOHOHORREHYY!!”
Donnie stopped and he gestured Raph to get off of him.
“Guys…” Leo began once he caught his breath, “man I’m so sorry. It’s just, when the whole Kraang thing happened, I just thought that if I wasn’t as childish or immature as leader, then something like that wouldn’t have happened.”
Donnie was the first to speak. “Leo… if you ever blame yourself for that again in from of me, I will make sure you are tickled to near actual death.”
“Leo,” Raph said, “sure it might’ve been mostly your fault for the key getting stolen again, but I mostly blame myself, and dad. We all put so much pressure on you and you felt like you had to do everything to prove yourself to us. We’re sorry. We shouldn’t have put so much pressure on you.”
Leo smiled trying to blink away tears. “Are you crying?” Donnie teased with a smirk, “you big softy.”“Oh shut up!” Leo bursted out with a small laugh, and tackled his brothers in one big group hug.
