So Imagine This:
You and me are sat in a big comfy bed or sofa, goofing off with eachother. You see me coming towards you while wiggling my fingers, ready to give you tickles. You get shy and hide your face in your hands as you await my next move. You suddenly feel a gentle poke to your side, making you chuckle. Then another poke to your other side, then many more little side pokes. “Aww, does this tickle?” I say to you. You’re giggling into your hands and nodding your head, too flustered to uncover your face. You then feel your shirt being lifted up, just enough to expose your tum. I use both hands to lightly poke, tickle and trace all over that adorable belly of yours, listening to your happy giggles. “Coochie coochie coo~ who’s got a ticklish tummy?” You’re now a wiggly, giggly mess, your face still hidden behind your hands. I stop the tickles for a moment only to gently remove your hands from your face, revealing your huge grin and blushy cheeks. I then go back to the tickling, only this time, I can see your joyful expressions. No need to hide away that wonderful smile from me <3

Snow
Tumblr media
Yet another Satosugu fic!!! I’ve been obsessed with them so much lately lollll. It snowed where I live so it inspired this fic. Hope you like it! Also made it so it can be seen as a ship or just casual friends.
Warnings: None aside from tickling and tooth rotting fluff, so if that makes you uncomfortable or it’s not your thing feel free to just keep scrolling.
Summery: Geto finds out what happens when you try and start a snow ball fight with Gojo.
“Suguru! Suguru it snowed!!!” Gojo cried excitedly as he pointed to the window of his friends Jujutsu high dorm room. Geto groaned as his eyes fluttered open.
“Ugh… Satoru do we really have to do this now? Todays a day off and I want to sleep.” Geto mumbled, trying to role over.
“Not today!” Gojo explained. “Suguru Geto you are getting up and getting your tired ass dressed now! I want to go out!” Gojo whined as he tugged at the blanket Geto tried cocooning around himself.
Eventually the black haired teen sighed. “Alright. Fine you win. We’ll go outside.” Geto said in resignation. God Gojo was all too much like a puppy who needed a walk. Geto couldn’t help finding that honestly a little adorable.
Geto kicked Gojo out so he could change, putting his hair up in his usual man bun.
They pulled on their coats and Geto followed an exited Gojo outside.
“Gojo be careful. It’s icy out here.” Geto warned as Gojo hopped along the court yard happily.
“Stop being such a worry wart…” Gojo said trying to assure him as he enjoyed the feeling of walking in the snow.
Geto just stood there enjoyed the feeling of the snowflakes on his face as Gojo started trying to build a snowman.
“Hey Suguru you gonna help me or what?” Gojo asked witha. Grunt as he struggled to roll the now heavy snow ball.
Geto huffed out an exasperated chuckle as he joined him to help push the slowly growing snow ball.
Unfortunately they pushed too hard because the snow ball started to break apart, and due to the force of pushing, they both fell to the ground in the snow.
Satoru was too busy rolling on the floor and laughing at the silly situation as Geto huffed.
“It’s not that funny…” He said with a frown.
Gojo then pointed to Getos face as he kept laughing. “Th-there’s snow all over you…” Gojo managed through his hysterical giggling.
Geto looked down to see snow all over him. He the shot a lighthearted glare, making a smaller snow ball and throwing it at Gojos face.
Gojo was taken by surprise when the ball hit him and his laughter stopped abruptly.
“Oh you little…” Gojo then shot his own playful glare as he made his own snow ball and threw it back to Geto.
Soon it got physical and they were pushing and kicking at one another.
The two grunted and groaned as they landed blows to each other. At one point Gojo accidentally jabbed Getos side, who let out a small shriek and flinched back.
Gojo paused, stunned at what just happened, then slowly smirked.
“What’s this Suguru…? Is somebody ticklish?” Gojo teased, going for another poke.
Geto backed away on the ground, which they were both still on, throwing his arms up In defense.
“N-no… no no no, Satoru don’t you dare!!” Geto protested, his voice sounding more frantic as Gojo got closer.
Gojo was smirking only wider as his fingers wiggled in his face. Soon he jumped up and pounced on him.
“W-wAH! YOU MOTH- AHHahahaahaha!!!” Geto unfortunately was interrupted by high pitched laughter as Gojos hands snuck under his jacket and found his sides. Because his hands were basically trapped under his coat, Geto was pretty much stuck. He squirmed and writhed around on the floor as Gojo towered over him more and more.
“Awe so you are ticklish! That’s adorable!” Gojo cooed as he watched his friend laugh uncontrollably and squirm around.
Soon Gojo made his way up and into his ribs as he massaged his fingers against the sensitive bones. Geto squealed out and his laughter grew.
“G-GohOhoHoHOHOhojohoho!!!!” Geto cried as he tried pushing his friend off him uselessly. “Th-thahahahats COHoHohold!!!”
Gojo only smirked more. “Oh really? Let me warm up my hands then…” he went farther up and stuffed his hands into the quite warm hollows of his armpits.
Geto shrieked as he began squirming more violently.
“GEHEHET OUHUHUT OHOHOF THEHERE!!” Geto screamed out in his laughter in his frantic and desperate struggling.
Gojo kept it up for a bit, tickling wherever he could reach. He then went down to his friends hips, gently kneading them.
Getos laughter became hysterical and soon he was near silently laughing, kicking his legs desperately as he desperately pushed against Gojos hands.
Gojo chuckled and soon stopped, allowing Geto to breathe.
Geto stayed like that on the floor and Gojo burst into more laughter.
Geto just lay back on the ground, panting with exhaustion. His eyes wide with a bit of shock. Geto soon frowned and shot a glare at his white haired friend.
“Geto y-your face is all red!” Gojo cried out while giggling. It was true. Getos face was flushed a bright red color. Wether it was from the laughter or embarrassment who’s to say. Geto would claim it was just the cold.
The back haired teen just rolled his eyes and grinned. “Alright then Satoru. Why don’t we make your face red too? Your my friend so it’s only fair we match…” Geto smirked as he wiggled his fingers slowly.
Gojos eyes widened as he quickly got up and bolted, the two starting a game of chase, with Geto gaining on him.
Soon the two were tumbled the the ground and laughing as Geto lunged at Gojo, his fingers aiming to tickle any spot they could reach. Gojo cackling wilding under him and his arms and legs flying around wildly trying o squirm away and fend off his best friend.
It’s safe to say they had a lot of fun. Geto soon figured maybe the cold wasn’t so bad after all.
Thx for reading ❤️

This fiction is for the amazing @someone1348 , they have hit 400 followers! How fucking awesome is that? I'm writing this to celebrate their marvellous achievement, I'm so proud of them <3! We're all so proud of you, K!
A funny matter.
As you know, this is a special fiction for a wonderful friend of mine. We all love our disaster twins. Leo is making jokes, as per usual. But what's that? Did Donnie really find a joke of Leo's funny?
Ler!Leo and lee!Donnie
Warnings: Some swearing. But that's it!
Tumblr media
It was a regular day in the lair, well night. The family was sound-asleep. Even April decided to spend the night in the sewers with them, but she got to sleep in her own room that the turtles made for her. You could hear Raph's snoring, it never failed to make Leo laugh.. that's because Leo was awake. Leo quietly snorted hearing his older brother snore. Everyone was asleep apart from him, so he thought.
Donnie too, was awake. Leo as a red-earred slider turtle, only required 5-6 hours of sleep. For which, he already got that sleep. Donnie was working on his battle shell, to make it as good as possible. As many knew, his shell was quite the vulnerable area for the turtle. So in order to protect himself just a little more, he thought making a few upgrades sounded like a good idea. Donnie was careful. He avoided any mutant birds, since he's prey to them. And he'd never fight without his battle shell.
Leo tip-toed into the kitchen, pouring himself a cup of coffee. It was 4 o'clock.. in the fucking morning. It was a daily routine. He'd get his required sleep, then have a coffee at ungodly hours in the morning. He took a sip of said coffee, before hearing a distressed "fuck's sake!" That was the soft-shell turtle alright. 'What in the pizza supreme hell is he doing up?' Leo thought to himself, before making his way to Donnie's room. Something had to be bothering him.
With being sleep-deprived, Donnie struggled to succeed in inventing new inventions without some sort of fail. He'd make a couple more errors than usual when he didn't get enough sleep. Poor Donnie, he accidentally cut the wrong wire, making him throw a screwdriver across his room. "Oh for fuck's sake!" He cursed. Donnie slammed his elbows into his desk, holding his head into his hand.
"Hey buddy, trouble sleeping?"
"What's with the interrogation, Leo? Everything's fine I said!" Donnie snapped.
"Uh huh, can tell." Leo placed his cup down on Donnie's desk, before sitting on his brother's bed. Leo patted the space beside him, signalling Donnie to sit with him. The older sighed, but got up and sat beside his younger sibling. The older let out a sigh.
"Would you like to talk about it?" Leo offered, but the other shook his head in response. Donnie struggled with his emotions, especially with expressing them or being able to communicate with them. Despite Donnie not being the biggest fan on any physical contact, he rested his head onto his brother's shoulder.
Leo was practically in awe. It wasn't every day you saw Donnie being physically affectionate. It was such the sight. All was silent. Too silent, for Leo's liking. The atmosphere was rather heavy. Leo had to lighten the mood up. But how?
"Hey D. I've done some research on some science jokes–" Leo couldn't even finish his sentence.
" 'Nardo, please don't." Donatello interrupted.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN - THE LEO SMIRK. THE LEONARDO HAMATO SMIRK. The smirk that makes you think, 'oh shit'. The smirk that makes you flush. It's all such a tease. The smirk that makes you realise, he's about to tickle the ever-living-shit out of you.
...
"What do you call an acid with an attitude?"
"... Go ahead, I suppose." Oh dear, how bad was this going to be? He loved his science, but how smart was Leo to be telling a joke about science.
"Amino acid!"
Donnie removed his head from Leo's shoulder as he placed his face into his hands. Donnie thought it was sly, but it wasn't. Everyone knew that it meant Donnie found something funny.
"You're doing it again, hermano~."
"What?"
"When you find something funny."
"... I-I aham not finding anything funny." Well done, D. Super convincing! The almsot-emotionless turtle letting out a snicker? Who, what, when, where, and why? Of course, little did Donnie know, Leo was finding this more amusing than beating his brothers at the lair games.
"Well, maybe I could help with that.." THE TEASE WAS IN HIS VOICE, EVEN DONNIE KNEW HE WOULD HE SCREWED. Donnie looked up, eyes widening when looking up at his brother. Leo was already wiggling his fingers at the soft-shell turtle. With that being said, the soft-shell turtle was gone. He scooted back on his bed. He had nowhere to go. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. The red-earred slider turtle scooted closer to the elder.
As a reflex / defence mechanism, Donnie had his arms across his chest in an 'x' form.
"Oh my beloved hermano, I'm gonna getcha! And quite frankly, there's nothing you can do about it~."
"Leo, I will personally murder you in your fucking sle– EHEHEP!" That was it. Leo targeted Donnie's thighs and knees, hoping it would bring his brother's arms down ( for which it did ). Leo kept squeezing at a rapid pace at Donnie's knees as Donnie kicked his legs and tried pushing Leo's hands away with barely any effort.
"I hahahate yohohou so much!"
"Awh, don't be like that. You know you love it. Tickletickletickletickle!"
Donnie threw his head back and kicked some more before Leo targeted Donnie's stomach. The soft-shell turtle's laughter increased in pitch as his giggles became more frantic.
" 'NARDOHOHO, FUCK OHOHOFF!"
"Well, that's not very nice, mister!" Leo put on a fake scowl before lowering his head down to nibble on Donnie's sensitive stomach.
" 'Om nom nom!"
The noises were so stupid that it made Donnie laugh more. Bloody hell, it tickled so much!
"THIHIHIHIHIS ISN'T AHAHAHA FUNNY MAHAHAHATTER, LEHEHEO!"
"It is not? But you sure are finding something funny. You're laughing your shell off! Is someone's cute, wittle twummy that sensitive? Awh." Leo put on a baby voice, making Donnie's face flush a crimson red.
"Is lwittle Donnie bwushing now?" Leo smirked, now gently tickling under his brother's chin.
"Y-You're thehe wohohorst!" Donnie smiled from ear-to-ear, scrunching his shoulders up and flapping his hands ( happy stims ).
Leo noticed, making him smile softly, too. Looks like his job was done. He made a grumpy Donatello into a happy Donatello. Before finishing his attack on his brother, Leo tickled up and down Donnie's arms ( his melt spot ), skittering his fingers around his wrists up to his muscles.
"Ehe! Yohohohou better sleheheep with one eye ohohohohohohopen, Leo!" Donnie pretended he was mad, but he gave up on squirming. His melt spot made him limp to the attack.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. You love me really." And with that, Leo stopped his playful assault. Donnie, the poor turtle, was a flushing mess. The sight it was! How often do you see a ticklish Donatello blushing?
Leo layed down as he signalled his brother over by patting his chest. Donnie complied as he crawled over to Leo as he slowly lowered his head down onto the slider's chest. The red-earred smiled, noticing almost immediately his brother was falling asleep. The tickles really had tired him out. Donnie looked peaceful and at ease instead of being stiff and tense. Not even ten minutes later, the soft-shell was softly snoring. Following that, Leo began to fall asleep, just knowing his Donnie was relaxed.
°°°°°

Cute T-Word Scenario
So imagine this. You wrap your arms around someone in a big tight hug. When they hug back, you start to tickle their neck and ears very gently with your fingers. Watch as they just melt and bury their face into your shoulder, all while letting out happy little giggles.

Provocation and Motivation (Blue Lock)
Tumblr media
Ahhh I love this duo so much. I cannot wait for the new Episode Nagi movie. I hope things work out between them in the end after what happened in the anime lol… anyway!!! Hope you guys enjoy this one.
Warnings: This is a tickle fic so if that’s not your thing just keep scrolling. Also some cursing lol.
Summery: When Reo tries to annoy Nagi, in attempt to make him be more reactive instead of lazy, it backfires heavily.
Reo was doing some stretches that night as he got ready to go to sleep. Being in the Blue Lock dormitory was something he’d need to get used to, since he only ever slept in his own bed at home.
At least Nagi was here. Having a familiar face around really helped.
“Hey Nagi come do stretches with me!” Reo called out ti the white haired boy who was laid on his bed, playing video games on his mini hand held system.
“Nah… sounds exhausting~” he mumbled back.
Reo huffed. He wished he would at least put in effort every once in a while. To do something actually productive.
Reo shrugged and went back to his stretching exercises. Suddenly an idea came to him. Maybe he could try provoking the boy somehow?
It wasn’t a terrible idea. Even though he’s known Nagi for quite a bit of time, he didn’t know if he was the type to get mad or upset. Angry even.
“Hey Nagi.. you know, if you keep sitting around like that and eat too much at the same time, you’re going to get all fat.” Reo told him teasingly.
Nagi merely shrugged. “Meh.”
Reo frowned. Well that was all he got. Truth be told he didn’t know what could possibly annoy or rile him up.
His eyes found the gaming devise he was using. It was then an idea came to him.
He snuck over to the side of Nagis bed, making sure Nagi was too absorbed into the game to pay attention.
He waited a moment, then swiftly reached over to grab the devise.
Before Nagi had a chance to react, the devise was plucked out of his hands.
Reo stuck his tongue out at the white haired boy, grinning mischievously as he hid the devise behind his back.
He finally saw a true look of annoyance on Nagis face, as the much quieter of the two slowly started to get up from his resting position.
“Reo! That’s not cool. I’m going to lose!” Nagi complained.
“Should’ve thought about that before you decided to be lazy and annoying.” Reo reasoned playfully.
“So I’m the annoying one here?” Nagi mumbled. He reached out to grab the gaming devise, but Reo, despite being shorter, managed to keep it out of his reach.
They were like this for a bit, Nagi trying to grab the game while Reo cheekily dodged.
Nagi was starting to get seriously irritated now. As he put more effort into grabbing the game, he managed to accidentally land a poke at the purple haired boys rib.
To his surprise, Reo shrieked and fell backwards onto his butt, dropping the game in the process.
Nagi grabbed the device and looked down at the boy who had just fallen. “What was that Reo?” Nagi asked, knowing full well what happened.
“U-uh nothing! I’m fine. I’m sorry for messing with your game.” Reo said quickly, already feeling tingles of anticipation.
“Don’t worry about it. To be honest I’ve lost interest in it for the moment anyway.” Nagi said lazily, throwing it aside onto his bed.
“O-oh.. why’s that?” Reo asked.
Nagi just stared down at him for a moment. “Because I just found a new toy to play with.”
With Nagis choice of words and how he said it, Reos face immediately flooded with color. He watched as the white haired boy walked closer and closer towards him, unable to do much to stop him at the moment.
“Wait.. wait Nagi.. NO!!!” Nagi leapt onto Reo suddenly, and had him pinned to the floor almost immediately.
“Is there anything I can say that would convince you to let me go right now?” Reo asked nervously.
“Nope.” Nagi replied simply.
He then grabbed his sides, squeezing them. Reo sealed his mouth shut. If he was being forced to endure this, he might as well save the last bit of pride he had by not breaking.
Maybe he could convince Nagi that he was mistaken, and that he was wasting his time.
This was not the case however. He broke immediately when Nagi went for his ribs, digging into, and squeezing them.
“A-hAhah!! Nohohohoho Nahahagi!!!” Reo cried, squirming around helplessly as he uselessly attempted to push his arms away.
Unfortunately his strength seemed to have left his body.
“Wow Reo. You really are super ticklish, aren’t you. I can’t believe I’ve known you all this time and you never bothered telling me?”
“Whyhyhy woohohould ihihihi tehehell yohohOhOhoUhuhu!??!!” Reo protested, squealing, much to his embarrassment, when Nagi found a particularly sensitive spot on his ribs right under his armpits.
“Do you have a particularly bad spot Reo? One that’s the worst of them all?” Nagi asked conversationally. Pretending as if he wasn’t currently tickling the purple haired soccer prodigy to pieces.
“LIHihiHinikE iHIhiHid teHEHEhehEll YOHOhohu!!!” Reo cried, still struggling under his teammates weight.
Nagi frowned. “Bummer. Guess I’ll have to find it myself. At least I have confirmation that you have one.”
Reo didn’t expect Nagi to find it so quickly. As soon as he felt squeezing at his hips, he immediately knew he was done for.
“NOHOHOHO PLEHEHEHAHASE NAHAHAHAGIHIHIHI!!!” Reo threw his head back in hysterical crackles, kicking out his legs behind Nagi. Seriously, what did he even do to deserve this?
Nagi ignored him as he poked, prodded, massaged, and even spidered his fingers on his hip bones.
“Wow, this seems to be like a pretty sensitive spot for you.” Nagi commented. It wasn’t even meant to sound like teasing, which made it so much worse as teasing.
When Nagi then pressed his thumbs into the dips of the hip bone, massaging and vibrating them into the spot, Reo full on screeched, bucking his hips to hard he damn near threw Nagi off.
“FUHUHUHUCK NOHOHOHOHOHO!!!”
“Woah! Looks like I hit the jackpot, huh.”
Reos laughter soon turned into silent hysterics, batting weakly at his attackers hands. At this point all he could do was lay limp on the floor and take it. He was also having difficulty breathing.
Nagi picked up on it and knew he should give the poor guy a break.
Reo lay gasping on the floor, struggling to catch his breath as he curled up on the floor, hugging himself protectively.
“Sorry about that Reo… I just really wanted to do that.” Nagi told him apologetically.
“Hah… hehe.. y-yohohu suhuck…” Reo managed.
Nagi stared at his face. His cheeks were flushed, a grin unable to leave his mouth, his chest rapidly rising and falling.
“Heh.”
“Nagi did you just laugh at me?!” Reo bursted out. Eyebrows furrowed with annoyance.
“Sorry. You’re just really cute like this.”
It took a moment for Reo to process what Nagi had just said, a confused expression taking over his face, until his face began to turn a deep shade of red.
“Sh-shut up you jerk!”
Nagi just poked at his side again, which made Reo squeak and fall back again. Yep, truly adorable he was.
Thanks for reading!

Denial
Word count: 1,900
Pairing: Loki x reader (platonic)
Reader pronouns: none used (gender neutral)
Warnings: fluff; mostly tickles. Softer Loki (though he tries to hide it)
I know @duckynugget and @crimson25 are looking forward to this one being posted - so, here it is!
This request Prompt asked for a fic where Loki is ticklish but reader is not. I also made the reader gender neutral by request. I kept this one on the shorter side as well, since the next prompt will likely lead to a lengthy story.
Tumblr media
"I'll remind you, mortal - I reserve the right to change my mind about consenting to this at any moment."
"Yeah, yeah. Now sit."
Loki rolled his eyes dramatically, sitting down on the floor in front of you with a huff. You grinned behind his back as you shifted your seat forward a bit on the sofa. After being friends for so long, you knew Loki well enough to understand that his outward annoyance at any sort of physical or verbal affection was all a ruse. As tough as he was on the outside, you knew deep down he secretly enjoyed being cared for.
"Ok - now sit still. I need to concentrate on what I'm doing."
"Have you ever done this before?"
"I already told you - I tried it on Natasha, but she wouldn't sit still for longer than five minutes. Always has to be doing something..." You grasped his shoulders and turned his upper body to sit straighter against the front of the sofa.
"Well - do heed caution. My hair is not to be trifled with," he muttered.
"You Asgardians have such a thing about your hair. It's so funny."
"We simply care about how we present ourselves. Unlike many of you mortals on this planet." Loki twitched in surprise as you began to separate a section of his hair, your finger dragging along the back of his head.
"Hey! I like to think I put an adequate amount of effort into my appearance."
"Well - I wasn't referring to you, obviously."
You smiled. Loki wasn't the most forthcoming with complements, but you knew he had a soft spot for you. He held you on a higher pedestal than he did other humans, though he'd never straight out admit it.
His posture slowly relaxed as you ran your fingers through his hair, meticulously measuring out equal sections of his dark locks before twisting them together into a braid. You were silent as you devoted your full concentration to the task at hand, and Loki seemed content with the lack of conversation.
“Doing alright there, Loki?” you asked after the silence had persisted for a few minutes, leaning forward to see his face. You just caught sight of his eyes closed before he startled, opening them to glare at you.
“Shouldn’t you be focusing on not tying knots in my hair?” he muttered.
“Were you falling asleep? That’s cute.”
Loki opened his mouth to respond, no doubt with some indignant denial of the truth, but you silenced him by running your fingers through his hair. “Hmph,” was all he could seem to muster. You chuckled as you sat back, returning to focusing on weaving braids into his dark locks, taking your time with each twist now that you knew he was enjoying the attention.
After pausing, undoing and restarting the first braid multiple times to really get it right, you were finally nearly finished completing one. Suddenly, Loki flinched, tugging the braid from between your fingers.
“What was that for?? Now I have to start it over again,” you whined as the strands of the braid unwound a bit at the bottom.
“My apologies - you were taking so damned long I thought perhaps you’d finished that one already,” he grumbled in response. There was an unusual finality in his tone, as though he didn’t want you to keep asking about it.
“So you just twist your head and pull it out of my hands? I thought you were concerned about how I was making your hair look. Why risk messing me up?”
“Just… go back and start it over again. I’ll hold still.”
“Hmm. Fine. But this time I’ll tell you when you can move, ok?”
You knew something odd was going on. Loki had previously been melting against the sofa as you manipulated his hair, but suddenly he seemed to have a steel rod in his back, sitting perfectly straight and stiff. Had you hurt him by tugging too hard? That was certainly something he wouldn’t want to admit. Then again, he wouldn’t have passed up the chance to scold you and pretend as though he wasn’t enjoying every second of this. In any case, you were careful not to pull as you re-wove the braid.
As you twisted the last couple inches into place, Loki suddenly flinched once again. This time, he shrugged his shoulder up toward his ear in the process.
And suddenly, it clicked.
“Loki! You messed it up again!” you whined, fluttering your fingertips along the side of his neck more intentionally. He let out a breathy laugh through his nose this time, leaning away from your fingers. “I didn’t know gods were so ticklish!”
“Mortal… I suggest you tread carefully with this information,” he growled ominously, turning his head to look at you.
“Ooh, calling me ‘mortal’ now, are you? I must be in trouble.” You reached around with your other hand to dust your fingers just below his other ear.
“I-hi’m warning you!” He reached up to grasp the wrist of the offending hand, holding it away from his neck. You smirked, swiftly reaching down to pinch his ribs and earning a yelp of surprise. “Alright, that’s it.”
“What are you gonna do?” you sassed. He rose to his feet and spun around in one quick motion, grasping hold of your other wrist and pushing you down against the sofa.
“Still think it was wise to antagonize me?” Loki hovered over you, pinning your wrists to the sofa beside your head. Unfazed, you grinned up at the looming god.
“Go ahead. I’m not ticklish.”
He squinted down at you, leaning closer to your face for dramatic effect.
“I don’t believe you.”
With that, he released both wrists and latched his hands to your sides, kneading rapidly. You stared up at him with the sly smirk still drawn across your face, not reacting in any way to his touch. His brow furrowed as his hands ascended your ribcage, prodding into the crevices, testing every space for a reaction.
“Told you,” you taunted, lacing your fingers behind your head.
“You… I still don’t believe you! You must be ticklish somewhere!”
“Go ahead and try. I won’t stop you.”
His frustration bloomed on his face as he scribbled under your arms, clawed at your belly, grazed his fingertips along your neck… anything he could think of to make you flinch and laugh. You even allowed him to take your foot in his lap and scratch at the fabric of your sock unhindered, sighing tediously as he wriggled his fingers under your toes and dusted them along the arches.
“It’s not possible. I don’t believe you.”
“What more proof do you need?” you laughed, carefully removing your foot from his lap to avoid him thinking it was reflex. “What I don’t believe is how ticklish you are.” You reached out and pinched his side rapidly to emphasize. He barked out a laugh, leaning involuntarily away from you.
“You… you are infuriating!” he griped, making no move to stand from his seat.
“Oh, stop complaining, grumpy. You’re just mad that I finally have something I can hold over you.” You shifted to kneel closer to him, diving in with both hands latched to his ribcage. This really got him laughing, so you couldn’t bear to stop, digging gently in between the bones as he squirmed under your touch.
“M-eheh-MORTAL!”
“Yes?” You gave him an innocent, questioning look as you continued to torment his ribs. His muscles seemed to weaken as you neared the softer space under his arms. He certainly wasn’t fighting you very hard, considering he was an almighty god.
“Dohon’t you DAHARE even c-eheh-CONSIDER moving ahany higher,” he demanded through bright laughter.
“Why not? Too ticklish?” You slotted your hands beneath his arms - a surprisingly simple task considering how concerned he seemed to be about you tickling him there. He threw his head back, overcome by hysterics. Laughing yourself at his reaction, you wriggled your fingers into the soft skin through his shirt without relenting. His hands clasped around your wrists, weakly pushing at them but without nearly enough force to actually succeed in moving your hands. There was a redness blossoming in his cheeks, lighting up his face more than you’d ever seen in the sullen god.
It was then you realized - he didn’t actually mind this. In fact, he seemed to welcome it.
It made sense in a way, you supposed. Deep down, you knew your friend craved physical interaction despite the fact he pretended not to want anyone to so much as touch him. His prickly outer shell prevented him from getting close enough to anyone that they would want to try to initiate physical contact. It just so happened that you had been stubborn enough to stick around long enough to break through his protective shell.
You also knew he’d be mortified if you even suggested that he may be enjoying your tickle attack. So, you filed it away in your memory and kept it to yourself, not wanting to spoil this playful little game between you and your best friend.
As his face turned redder, you shifted to claw into his belly. His laughter decreased in volume, spilling out in uncharacteristic, adorable giggles.
“Now that’s cute,” you cooed, ghosting your fingers along the sides of his belly.
“Hohow dare yohou i-hi-insult me-hee!” he retorted.
“It’s not an insult, it’s just facts!” you teased, spidering your fingers outward to his sides. His laughter died down as you slowed your torment, with only the occasional twitch of his abdomen and accompanying breathy laugh. When you finally ceased, he sat motionless for a moment, gasping to catch his breath.
“I will get revenge for this,” he growled threateningly through his persistent ticklish smile. “Somehow.”
“Good luck with that,” you shrugged, patting him on the knee. “You gonna let me finish practicing my braiding now?”
“After you just tortured me?? You think I will allow you to continue messing with my hair?”
You folded your arms across your chest, sitting back as you gazed firmly at your companion. “Hey - in all fairness, you messed up my braids twice. I was technically getting my revenge by tickling you senseless.”
An unmistakable pink hue tinted his cheeks. “You… I… fine. But be more careful this time.”
“Sure, yeah, yeah. Now sit on the floor again.”
Mumbling incomprehensible threats under his breath, Loki slid off the sofa and took his seat on the floor in front of you once again. You chuckled to yourself, knowing very well that Loki - God of Mischief - never does anything he doesn’t want to do. And the fact that he leaned more heavily against your shins as you began lacing your fingers through his hair once again only served to prove what you already knew.
Someday, perhaps, he would be willing to admit he actually appreciates physical affection. Until then, you’d just have to ‘convince’ him to allow it from time to time, as though he was appeasing you.
And when you snuck in little squeezes to his sides or flutters behind his ears as you continued to braid his hair, he certainly wasn’t trying very hard to stop you.
