—[ “Attention? I’ll give you attention!!” ]

NOTE: THIS IS A FIC ABOUT MY OCs, NOT CHARACTERS FROM ANY EXISTING MEDIA.

—| [ Lee!Kaelan, Ler!Icarus ]

[ Kaelan and Icarus get to go on a mission together! Sadly their destination is days away, so they find a place to rest under a huge tree on a hilltop. The view is beautiful, but Kaelan can’t stay still for long. Icarus tries to get rest, but Kaelan keeps bugging him about giving him attention. Icarus snaps, giving Kaelan attention.. but not in the way he intended! ]

NOTE 2: These two characters are knights and in medieval times, but I am not educated in Old English so they will be speaking mostly normally. Also they’re GAY for each other

(HONORABLE MENTION: @searchingforaloserwhoexists)

[ Icarus and Kaelan were simply chatting with eachother just at the beginning of Glidensdale’s gates when they got the news. A page had come running up to them, informing them that they were in charge of handling a mission about some strange creatures encroaching on territory that the King would rather keep untouched. ]

[ Kaelan kept talking as he and Icarus walked to the stables, getting their horses ready for the trip. He didn’t talk about anything in particular; rather random things that happened throughout the day. Icarus absentmindedly responded, more absorbed in the sound of Kaelan’s voice instead of what he was actually saying. ]

“—and when I was walking through the village, I didn’t hear as much whispers as usual! Maybe people are starting to like me now!”

[ Kaelan commented as he tightened the reins on his horse, patting her as he hopped on. Icarus mumbled a response as he got on his own horse, the two knights trotting out on their animals and into the familiar forest they knew by heart. They had run around here several times as children. ]

“Icarus, did you know that the fluffles around here actually see in black and white? I’ve read about them lots! But I’ve also heard in other areas, they see in color!”

“I’ve known that for quite some time. The books about them are interesting to read.”

[ Icarus replied, looking at the knight in black armor as he spoke. To others, he would’ve seemed dismissive, but Kaelan knew he genuinely meant it. Icarus just had a different way of saying things! ]

[ Icarus in general was hard to understand. To others, he was really blunt to the point he looked rude and disrespectful. He’d state his opinions without thinking of repercussions (or maybe he did but just didn’t care), and was very assertive of what he did and didn’t like. If someone was making him uncomfortable, he’d say it right then and there. ]

[ He was also very sarcastic. He’d hold back when around figures of high authority, but even then he’d still snap back once or twice. Kaelan admired how he spoke and held himself strong. Maybe that was what attracted him to Icarus in the first place. ]

[ To Icarus, Kaelan was a whole different story. He was everything he wasn’t. Kind, talkative, energetic, and always looking to help people out. It made him upset that so many people hated him just because Kaelan wanted peace for all instead of needless bloodshed. ]

[ He liked everything about him. From his voice to every minuscule detail about him, he could spend days writing about how much he loved him. He didn’t care what other villagers or peasants thought. Hell, he couldn’t care less what the King thought about their relationship. Thankfully most were supportive, but there was still the occasional discriminative comment thrown their way. ]

[ He was snapped back to reality by Kaelan’s voice. That beautiful, sweet, gentle voice. ]

“Icarus? Are you alright? I’ve been trying to get you back down to earth for the past few minutes!”

“…yes, I’m quite fine. Just lost in thought. How about you?”

“Me? Oh, I’m wonderful! Today I saw—“

[ Kaelan went back to talking and talking again. Icarus didn’t care. He could listen to him talk for eternity and never get bored. ]

[ At around what they both would assume to be 2pm, they stopped for a moment. It was at a giant, gentle hill slope that overlooked a beautiful view of forest and lake together. Kaelan handled reining in the horses while Icarus went ahead. ]

[ He stopped by a big tree with plenty of berries and plants around, even with a small pond for the horses to drink from if they needed to. ]

“Have a good rest! You’ll need it.”

[ He whispered to the horses, patting each one gently on the snout before walking away. He even gave a small wave before he walked out of sight. Kaelan loved animals, no matter how unique or ‘uncomfortable’ they looked. In fact, he spent most of his free time reading about different species in Glidensdale and how one would interact with them. His favorite were the Swallowtails, even though they were extremely dangerous. ]

“Icarus!!! I’m back!!”

[ Kaelan called, waving a gauntleted hand in the air crazily as he skipped over to where Icarus sat beneath the giant tree. Its branches spread outward towards the sky as if they were fingers to grasp something impossibly high. ‘They give very good shade!’, Kaelan thought as he plopped down next to Icarus—his armor clinking as he did so. ]

[ Icarus was taking this time to sharpen a dagger he had hidden in his boot (you never know when you’d need it), not looking up when he heard Kaelan coming over. ]

“You should speak quieter. You might attract the fluffles again.”

”I—that was one time!! And I wasn’t that loud!”

[ Icarus chuckled quietly at how flustered Kaelan got from a simple tease. Another one of the many qualities he thought were endearing about him. ]

“Anyways… the horses are resting. They should be in a pretty good position until we need them again.”

[ Kaelan said, hiding the flustered lilt in his tone as he swiftly changed the subject. Icarus didn’t even notice as he responded with: ]

“Good. Now we rest too. I’m tired.”

“Tired? Tired from what? You’ve just been sitting all day!”

“Not just from that, you imbecile. There’s other factors that come into play too.”

[ Kaelan huffed in annoyance at Icarus’s words as he laid back against the tree, adjusting himself to be in a more comfortable position. That position just so happened to be laying his head on Icarus’s shoulder. Icarus didn’t mind. ]

[ Kaelan dozed off for a bit, the two knights absorbed in the sounds of nature and everything going on around them as if they weren’t even there. Icarus truly loved moments like these where he could just decompress with Kaelan. Kaelan was one of the few people he felt he could actually be himself without people nagging him to be more extroverted. He hated when that happened. ]

[ The sharpening of his knife stopped as he put it back where it belonged. He took a moment to really look at his surroundings. The sun-dappled leaves, the coarse texture of the tree’s bark that they were laying against, and the magnificent presence of a certain someone next to him right now. ]

[ Kaelan woke up eventually. He was a bit groggy, but even then he was up and running soon after. Icarus was still very much not in the mood for running around, so he remained in the shade of the tree while he watched Kaelan do his own thing. ]

[ But Kaelan, being Kaelan, refused to leave him alone for long. Icarus had only blinked and Kaelan was standing over him. He jumped lightly at the sight before he calmed himself once again. Damn him and his silent steps.. ]

“What do you want?”

“I want you to play with me!”

“Really..? We’re not children, Kaelan. I’m not ‘playing’ with you.”

“But you never do!! We don’t even have to play! You can just give me attention or we can walk around!”

“I sat down here with the intention to stay like this for hours. I’m not getting up.”

“Uuuughh, fine…”

[ Kaelan groaned, going off to do his own thing again. He went to check on the horses, making sure they were alright before inevitably going back to bug Icarus. This time he mysteriously appeared beside him before speaking. ]

“Did you change your mind yet…?”

“No.”

“But why!!!!”

“Because I want to sit down.”

“Fine! I’ll leave you alone then.”

[ Kaelan huffed, shoving himself up off of the ground as he walked away. Icarus didn’t think that promise would last long. He was right, because he didn’t even have to look up when he felt the black knight’s presence again only ten minutes later. ]

“I thought you said you’d leave me alone?”

“Well.. I—“

“Leave it, Kae. You either sit down and take a break from hyperactiveness or you go back to exploring your weird little forest.”

[ As cute as Kaelan was sometimes, this was really starting to get on his nerves. But knowing Kaelan, he was persistent. He wouldn’t stay away for long—if anything, he’d continue clinging to him like glue. ]

[ And he was right. ]

[ Because a few minutes later (again), he felt those silent footsteps. ]

“Kaelan.”

“Icarus.”

“Don’t play coy with me. Sit down.”

“But I don’t want to!! It’s boring just sitting there!”

“Suck it up.”

[ Kaelan gave a sharp gasp as if offended by the mere thought of the words. ]

“How could you!?”

“Sit down.”

“Not until you give me proper attention!”

“Attention…? Oh, I’ll give you attention—“

[ Kaelan yelped as he was pounced on by Icarus. The two of them scuffled a bit as they rolled down the hill, Kaelan obviously not pleased with the action as he complained the entire way down. ]

“Hey!! Let me go!!”

“No.”

“Icarus!!!”

[ Kaelan whined, grunting as the rolling stopped. They had rolled to the bottom of the hill now with a dull ‘thud’, and Kaelan was pinned under Icarus. The taller knight’s hands were on either side of his head. ]

“Let me up!”

“You could easily get up yourself. Do it.”

“No! You’re the one that attacked me! You do it!”

“Fine.”

[ Icarus sighed, feigning surrender as he got up. Kaelan was just about to sit up too before he was snatched up by Icarus, dragged into his lap where the other knight sat. Icarus had his legs crossed, making it easier to place Kaelan there. ]

“Now then. I believe I have something well overdue, Kaelan.”

“Uh…uhm-“

“Getting nervous now? You were begging me for attention, but when you finally get it you chicken out?”

“I-It’s not like that!!”

“Then what is it like, then?”

[ Icarus replied, his tone perfectly leveled but still kind of annoyed at the same time. ]

[ Kaelan sat still for a second, trying to ignore the fact that Icarus’s gauntleted hand was very closely placed on his side. He glanced at it only for a split second, but Icarus seemed to catch on anyway. ]

[ In fact, Icarus’s tone switched completely when he spoke next. ]

“Oh.”

“….oh?”

“Yes, ‘oh’. I believe you think I was gonna do something to you, correct?”

“W-Well—“

“Did you think I was gonna tickle you, Kaelan?”

“No!!! Never! I mean-.. I-I-..”

“So you don’t want me to do that?”

“…”

[ Kaelan very quietly whispered something under his breath. Icarus didn’t quite catch it.. so he decided to use that as leverage. He moved his hand to be placed directly over Kaelan’s ribs. Kaelan was grateful for the coverage his helmet provided, because he was sure he was flushed red at this point. ]

“What did you say, Kaelan? I don’t think I heard you.”

“It’s nothing!!”

“Oh? Then if it truly was nothing, you’d tell me what you’re hiding from me. Correct?”

“Stop it!!! Let me go!”

“No. Instead, I think I’ll just do this..”

[ Icarus emphasized the ‘this’ by lightly moving his fingers over Kaelan’s ribs. The black knight stiffened almost as hard as a board, which only spurred Icarus on in his little mission. ]

[ He started with gentle flutters, occasionally poking at areas he knew were sensitive on his beloved. But when Kaelan didn’t make a sound (he was clearly holding back), he intensified it. He went from gentle fluttering to light scribbling, which was clearly affecting Kaelan a whole lot more. ]

“Silent now, are we? How cute.”

“Mhmhpff—“

[ Kaelan barely held back a muffled laugh as Icarus’s fingers scribbled across his ribs. It was a very bad spot already, so he knew he couldn’t last for long. ]

[ Seeing as Kaelan STILL wasn’t reacting, Icarus intensified it another notch. He did not hold back anymore. He went for every spot he could reach—Kaelan’s underarms, ribs, stomach, and even around his hips. Safe to say that broke Kaelan nearly immediately. ]

“waAAAHHAHAHAHA—!!! AHAHAH-STOHOOHOP!!”

“Nope. You wanted attention, right? I’m only helping you.”

“YOHUHUHU’RE NOHOT HEHEHELPIHIHING!! AHAHAHHAHA-“

[ Kaelan shrieked, trying to curl in on himself as one of Icarus’s hands suddenly shot up to his underarms. Another notoriously bad spot.. ]

“I don’t know.. I think I am. And you’re laughing, so I must be doing something right!”

[ Icarus commented innocently, one hand latching onto that deadly spot under Kaelan’s arm as the other one stuck to his stomach like glue. He was very talented with his hands, and was putting that talent into destroying Kaelan. ]

[ That combo nearly killed the poor knight, going into a fit of helpless laughter as the assault on his senses continued. ]

“NOHOHOHOO!! LET MEHE GO!! YOU—YOU IHIHIDIOT!!”

“Me? An idiot? I can’t believe that you just said that to me!”

[ Icarus pretended to sound all offended when Kaelan said that. He knew his beloved didn’t truly mean it (he never would), but he decided to not let his words go unpunished. Using Kaelan’s cape to his advantage, he wrapped it around the man haphazardly so that it’d take a good bit of effort to escape. While Kaelan struggled, the hand formerly on Kaelan’s stomach darted for his other underarm. Now both hands were latched onto one of Kaelan’s worst spots. ]

“AHAAHAEIIEEEHEHEEHE-“

“Ah. Bad spot, eh?”

“NAOOHOHOHOOO!!!”

“Seems like it.”

[ Kaelan clamped his arms down, trying to squirm away from Icarus with all his might. As powerful he was, he couldn’t escape with all his strength being sapped away from the relentless tickles. He kicked and struggled, flailing as hard as he could. One kick nailed a deep score in the ground when Icarus upped the speed a little. ]

“Deadly kicks you got there.. too bad you can’t respond. I wonder why.”

[ Icarus drawled on, enjoying the shrieky sound of Kaelan’s laughter. Another one of the qualities he loved about him.. but onto the task at hand. ]

“AaAAHAHAHAHEHIEHAHAEH—LEHEHET ME GOHOHOHO!!”

“No.”

“COHOHOME OHOHON!! PLEHAHAHAHESE?!”

[ Icarus huffed without a response as he heaved up Kaelan a bit, the curled up knight making it a bit difficult. Kaelan was now positioned with his back to Icarus’s chest. ]

“You seem to be enjoying this. It’s cute, really. Perhaps adorable. You should let us hear your laughter more. It could be a cure for any illness.”

[ Kaelan flushed even redder at the compliments. He knew he should be used to them, but it wasn’t any less flustering! ]

[ Kaelan was about to respond, but was cut off by his own shrieking again as the tickling ramped up. He felt tears pricking at the edges of his eyes as he covered his face with his hands (though there was no point given the helmet.. perhaps it was just a self-securing action for him), now just going into wordless and helpless laughter as Icarus continued the attack for what felt like centuries. ]

“Now for the finale. I’ll finish this off with a little flare, eh?”

“NOONOHOHOOOHOHO!!!-“

[ Kaelan tried to plead, pushing at Icarus’s gloved hands. To his relief, they went away.. only to grip him by the ankle. Instead of going for the feet like he thought he would, Icarus drifted a lone finger up Kaelan’s calf. Apparently it was a way worse spot than Kaelan remembered, because the kick that he released nearly kicked off Icarus’s hand altogether. ]

“Looks like I found the jackpot.”

[ Icarus said in a monotone tone of voice before shifting himself so that he could safely get the aforementioned spot without having to worry about getting injured by Kaelan’s kicks. ]

“WAHAIT!! WAHAHAIT! PLEAHASE!-“

[ Kaelan tried to plead, but it was already far too late. That deadly spot on his legs had fallen victim to Icarus’s ministrations. He shrieked time and time again as floods of the tickly sensation assaulted his body, his laughter going near silent at one point because of the mirth. ]

[ Only around fifteen minutes later did Icarus stop, and by then Kaelan was a mirthful mess; still being assaulted by the leftover ghost tickles. He let out quiet giggles as he breathed out, just laying there for a moment longer. ]

“Are you alright? I didn’t go too far, did I?”

“No, no. I’m quite alright.. just a bit exhausted.”

“So you see my point now.”

“Shuhut up, idiot. You wrecked me half to death.”

“And you were loud enough to alert all the lands. What if a Frostholt warrior heard? Then they’d know the great Peacekeeper has a deadly weakness.”

“Just lehet me rest, Icarus..”

“Fine. But what if I decide to demand your attention? What would you do then?”

“Exactly as you did to me, if you don’t help me up.”

“Alright, alright..”

[ Icarus sighed, helping Kaelan up and helping him walk back up the hill to the tree they were formerly lying under. They were supposed to be back on the road hours ago.. but Icarus didn’t care for the consequences. He’d let Kaelan rest.. then they’d get back on track. ]
