((Ah first late one 😅 I made the mistake of drawing the lee first so I had to squeeze the boys in, Bakugo was supposed to be Tetsu but I accidentally drew him too small))
A/N: Some time back I asked @ticklishfanart if I could write a fic based off this cute drawing of hers that was based off of this anon’s suggestion. So *TikTok voice* I did it.
Summary: Kirishima, Mina, Kaminari, and Sero are studying together, when they discover this interesting TikTok that puts a person in a hold that really tickles. They all try out the hold on each other and when Bakugou joins the group later, he’s coaxed into trying it too. Mischief ensues.
====
“You try it first.”
“No way, you should go first.”
“Why should I go first?”
“Because it was your idea.”
Kirishima thought it over for a second and ultimately conceded. He knew he wasn’t going to win an argument against Mina. Since he was the one to suggest it, he should be man enough to volunteer first.
Kirishima had invited Mina, Kaminari, and Sero to his room for a study session. He had invited Bakugou too, but he was busy with his extra provisional licensing classes and said he’d join them later. The group had been studying for an a good hour, but the rhythm that they had going was broken when Kaminari showed the group a funny TikTok he had found. Now the friends were all showing each other TikToks.
“Guys check out this one,” Kirishima said beaconing his friends over to him. In the video there was a person sitting on a chair and another standing behind them.
“When you have your victim,” the person standing began. “The first thing you need to do is press down on their neck." The video went on to explain a hold you can put someone in that would make it really hard for them to get out of and it tickled a lot. As the person in the video performed the hold, the other person in the chair cried out and kicked their legs in response. The group of friends laughed at how silly the whole display looked.
Mina pulled out Kirishima’s desk chair, knowing she had won the argument. Kirishima sighed and plopped down on the chair.
He squared his shoulders and stretched out his neck a little to give Mina ample room to perform the hold. He tensed up as he felt her cold fingers on either side of his neck. She pressed down on his shoulders as the video had instructed. Then Mina placed her middle fingers beside Kirishima’s throat, right under his jawline. She and the other two boys in the room couldn’t help but giggle as they heard Kirishima’s breath hitch as Mina continued to follow the instructions of the video.
Mina placed the joints of her thumbs on the sides of Kirishima’s temple and finally pulled up on his neck. Kirishima immediately yelped and scrunched up his shoulders. The spikey-haired boy began squirming around in his seat, Mina keeping a hold on him the entire time. Kirishima grabbed onto Mina’s hands and began to pry her fingers off his neck.
“Hey!” Mina exclaimed. Seeing Kirshima successfully begin to escape the hold, she began to tickle the sides of Kirishima’s neck with her nails.
“No! Nohohoho,” he cried out squirming down to the floor. “This isn’t part of the the hold! This isn’t part of the hohohohold!”
Mina followed her friend all the way downwards and was now tickling his neck and ears relentlessly. Kirishima’s eyes were shut tight as he giggled and squirmed, batting her hands away.
“You cheated,” Mina said, stopping her tickle attack.
“How did I cheat?” Kirishima asked, looking bewildered from the floor.
“You can’t use your hands!” Mina answered.
“Come on, we never said that,” Kirishima replied.
“Okay fine. Sero, you see if you can get out of this hold without using your hands."
“Uh,” Sero began, but decided against arguing with Mina. He reluctantly sat down on the chair and Mina performed the same set of steps on Sero. He yelped in ticklish pain, scrunching up his neck just as Kirishima had, but he kept his hands on his lap. He attempted to lunge forward, but Mina held on to him tightly. He was giggling and grunting in pain. He couldn’t think of a viable way to get out of this hold without using his hands and then he suddenly began to feel Mina’s pinky and ring fingers wiggling around his neck in ticklish torment.
“I give! I give!” Sero pleaded, surrendering and started to pry Mina’s fingers off his neck.
“Okay do me,” Mina said sitting down and Kirishima went to stand behind her.
Kirishima had barely put his hands on the back of Mina’s neck before she hiked up her shoulders and attempted to grab Kirishima’s hands purely out of reflex. The spiky haired boy reacted quickly and instead of letting Mina get the chance to grab his hands, he shot his hands into her underarms to enact some revenge on her for getting him early.
Mina squealed as Kirishima roughly wiggled his fingers into her armpits. She furiously flailed about in her seat with Kirishima’s continuing to tickle attack her. He stopped of his own volition when he felt she had received ample pay back.
“Now it’s your turn, Denki,” Sero said with his signature wide grin.
“Um I think I’ll pass,” Kaminari said smiling nervously and backing up with with hands raised in a weak defense. All three of his friends began to walk towards him with their hands positioned as claws. Kaminari began giggling in anticipation.
Mina pounced on him before he was able to get to the door. The poor boy shrieked as his friends pulled him over to the chair, giggling nervously the entire time. The group was finally able to get him seated by holding his arms down to the arms of the chair.
Mina made her way behind the chair and attempted to grab Kaminari’s neck, but he was thrashing and squirming too much.
“Calm down,” Mina said, amusement very apparent in her voice.
“Okay okay okay okay…” Kaminari said through manic giggles, trying to steady his breathing. The moment Mina made contact with Kaminari’s neck the electric hero-in-training squealed and lunged forward, falling to the floor.
The entire group laughed out loud at the whole ordeal. This was certainly a much-needed study break for all of them. The group of friends were still giggling when the door to Kirishima’s room slid open with Bakugou standing at the entrance.
“What the hell are you all doing? I thought we were gonna study today,” Bakugou said after taking in the scene before him, immediately annoyed at how his friends looked like they were goofing off.
“We were just taking a break,” Kirishima said, still smiling widely. Bakugou continued to scowl at the group before him.
“What happened to dunce face?” Bakugou asked, referring to a still panting Kaminari on the floor. Sero, Mina, and Kirishima all shared a mischievous, knowing look.
“We found this new hold you can do on villains that can force them to surrender immediately,” Mina began.
“And we wanted to see if it actually works,” Sero continued. “Turns out it’s pretty effective.”
“None of us could break out of it,” Kirishima chimed in. “Wanna see if you can?” Kirishima had the smuggest smile as he presented the challenge to Bakugou. He knew his friend couldn’t pass up an opportunity to show off his capabilities, especially knowing all his friends failed at escaping whatever “hold” they were talking about.
But Bakugou knew something was up. The evilest smiles were readily apparent on all four of his friends faces.
“Unless you’re too scared,” Kaminari taunted, once he had recovered. He caught on to Bakugou’s hesitation and knew the exact buttons to push to make the explosive hero-in-training fall for their trap.
“Shut up! Of course I’m not scared! I can break out of any stupid hold” Bakugou huffed.
“Alright then. Sit down,” Kirishima said gesturing to his desk chair, never losing his smug tone.
“One more thing,” Sero said as Bakugou lumbered over. “You can’t use your hands.”
Bakugou sat down on the chair slouched over. He couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous. All four of his friends were gathered behind the chair, so he couldn't see what any of them were doing.
“You gotta sit up,” Mina said grabbing Bakugou’s shoulders and straightened his posture.
“How the hell is this a hold to capture villains? It’s not like they’re gonna sit still-“ Bakugou cut himself off with a small grunt as he flinched, feeling Kirishima’s cold hands make contact with his neck.
“Relax,” Kirishima cooed as he began to placed his fingers into position.
Bakugou growled at how pleased with himself Kirishima sounded. His growl immediately turned into a strained yelp. Bakugou flinched violently and kicked out.
“What the fuck-” Bakugou said through gritted teeth. His shoulders were scrounged up practically to his ears. He thrashed from side to side and twisted around in his chair trying desperately to get out of Kirishima’s ticklish hold.
“Not taking it all that well, are you?” Sero chided sweetly.
“Shut the fuck up,” Bakugou spat out talking through clenched teeth. One of his hands grabbed at Kirishima’s wrists.
“Hey! You can’t use your hands,” Kirishima said teasingly.
“I don’t fucking care,” Bakugou said continuing to speak through clenched teeth.
Kirishima twisted one of his wrist out of Bakugou’s hold and shot it into his victim’s underarm. The explosive hero-in-training yelped and hunched over in his seat. Kirishima completely let go of Bakugou’s neck and wormed both of his hands into his friend’s armpits.
“C-cut ihihit-cut it out, shitty hair!” Bakugou yelled as he collapsed to the floor attempting free himself from Kirishima’s tickle attack.
The rest of the group descended on to Bakugou, like piranha’s descending onto their prey. He was on his side curled up in a ball trying to protect himself from his friends. Kirishima was still attacking his underarms while Mina worked on poking and pinching his ribs and stomach. Sero focused on kneading the area above Bakugou’s knees and Kaminari was trying to worm his fingers into his friend’s sensitive neck.
“You’re all fucking de-EHEHAHAHA-“ Bakugou was cut off by his own boisterous laughter when Kirishima found a particularly sensitive spot right where the boy's armpit met his ribs. His reaction made all his friends believe that they had hit a good spot and in response began tickling each of their spots even harder. Bakugou was beside himself with laughter as his friends tormented him with tickles.
Bakugou finally gathered enough strength to roll himself on to his stomach and push himself away from his attackers.
“Run,” Bakugou said panting.
“What?” Kaminari asked not fulling hearing Bakugou.
“Run!” Bakugou screamed, small explosions beginning to pop at his palms.
The whole group of friends cried out in terror and ran out of Kirishima’s room, attempting to escape Bakugou’s wrath. Their homework left completely forgotten.
