Should Have Known - Part 2
Fandom: Six of Crows
Word count: 2762
Characters: Ler!Jesper, Lee!Wylan, plus a little cameo from Inej at the end
Rating: SFW, but there is some making out, so if that’s not your thing, don’t read :))
Read part one here!
Summary: Jesper gets his revenge on Wylan, making the younger boy regret teasing him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jesper smirked down at him. He shifted so he was straddling Wylan’s waist and used his knees to pin his arms. “Too late for apologies, Merchling. You’ve made your bed, it’s time to lie in it.” he winked. “What was it you said to me? Ahh yes… I’m going to take. You. Apart. You really should have known I wouldn’t let you get away with teasing me.”
Wylan’s face flushed bright red, both from the teasing and from the position they were in. He shook his head and squirmed under the older boy. “Jehehes,” he giggled nervously. “Th-this isn’t necessary, really! I’m not- I’m not even that ticklish! There are better ways to get me back! You don’t even need to get me back, we’re even!”
The Zemeni snickered down at the rambling boy beneath him. “Oh yeah? And what better ways would you suggest then, hmm?” He leaned down to Wylan’s ear. “I can think of a few, but I don’t think you’d really find them to be punishments.” he whispered teasingly, making sure Wylan could feel his breath on him.
Wylan shivered and pulled on his arms, wanting his hide in them. He really should have known that teasing the older boy would cost him dearly, but he’d never gotten the upper hand before, so it was hardly an opportunity he was going to turn down. He was regretting it now though. Now that he was pinned and blushing and probably about to get tickled to within an inch of his life.
“No smart responses this time? No cocky teases? My my, how the mighty have fallen.” he teased, waggling his eyebrows down at Wylan. He ran his fingers lightly up and down one of the Merchant’s arms, just barely grazing his skin. His voice dropped to a low growl. “I think it’s interesting that you thought you could lie to me… Especially a lie that can be so easily disproven.” he smirked, giving Wylan’s side a quick squeeze and receiving a squeak.
The redhead gasped softly at the gentle strokes on his arm, mentally kicking himself when he squeaked from the sudden side tickle. Jesper found out very early on that light touches when he was teasing Wylan sent him to another level of flustered and he’d used the information to his advance ever since. “I wasn’t- it wasn’t a lie! I said I’m not THAT ticklish, not that I’m not ticklish at all!” he argued, trying to seem confident, but his earlier demeanour had been shattered the moment Jesper said he was going to take him apart. He absolutely was THAT ticklish, but he’d be damned before he admitted that. But he didn’t need to admit it, they both knew it already. They both knew he was probably even more ticklish than Jesper, although it was a tough call. Similarly to the Zemeni, he hadn’t been tickled much. It wasn’t really a common interaction among the Crows, but Jesper made sure he got the occasional squeeze or poke in, mainly to make him blush, but also as an excuse to touch him.
“Another lie~” Jesper sang. “You’re probably more ticklish than I am.” he chuckled.
“Am not!”
“Are too!”
“Am not!”
Jesper rolled his eyes and tasered his sides again, sending the boy beneath him into a fit of squeals. He grinned smugly. “You were saying?”
“Nohohot fahahair!” he whined.
The older boy winked at him and gently ran his fingers up and down the younger’s sides. “The more you lie, the worse it’s going to get for you, Giggles.” He relished in the twitching, and gasps coming from Wylan’s mouth, while snickering at his attempts to stay quiet.
“You’re teheasing me.” Wylan complained. The touching didn’t quite tickle properly, but it was driving him up the wall. “At least tihickle me properly if you hahave to tickle me at all!” He wasn’t sure how it was going to end for him if Jesper did tickle him properly, but at least he wouldn’t be so on edge from the teasing touches of the Zemeni, but the smirk that grew across Jesper’s face told him he probably wasn’t going to get what he wanted.
“But Wy, you’re so fun to tease!” he told him. “Plus I don’t know if you remember or not, but if you throw your little mind back to a mere few minutes ago, you’ll remember that you decided it was wise to try and steal MY role in our dynamic. So you’ll see why it’s very important for me to prove to you that you will never be able to out-tease me.”
Jesper chuckled at Wylan’s groan. He left his sides alone but went back to lightly stroking his upper arms, adding more ticklish scritches in than he usually would when he was just teasing the younger day to day. He leaned down and kissed the younger boy softly, not stopping the light tickles. He snickered into the kiss as he enjoyed Wylan’s attempts to not squirm from the teasing.
Wylan was now bright red for a different reason. He was not at all used to kissing Jesper, but he certainly wasn’t complaining. “You’re mean.” he pouted once Jesper had pulled away.
“Not yet.” Jesper winked. “But I’m gonna be~” he sang. He started tickling the redhead’s neck, still keeping his touch very light. “I’m gonna get you all squirmy and sensitive, until you can’t stand it anymore, and then I’m gonna make you beg me to tickle you properly, and then I’m gonna wreck you.” he explained in an all too casual tone, while continuing the soft tickles to the younger’s neck.
The Merchant boy scrunched his shoulders up as best he could and shook his head. “Sohoho mehehean!” he whined, but the smile on his face said differently.
“Yep. And it’s all your fault for teasing me.” Jesper smirked. He got bored of tickling his neck and instead sucked on his finger, then swirled it round Wylan’s ear, just to be a pest, eliciting a noise of disgust followed by a string of complaints and threats from him. The Zemeni snickered, but didn’t bother responding. He lifted Wylan’s top to expose his stomach and began drawing lines all over his belly, beaming whenever he’d get too close to the Merchant’s bellybutton and he would squeak. “Uh oh, seems like a bad spot, hmm? I’ll come back to it later.” he teased.
Wylan was squirming around and pulling on his arms with more intensity now. He desperately wanted to be able to hide his face from Jesper, so he couldn’t see how flustered and red he was, but the older boy had his arms pinned too well. The teasing was driving him mad, but he knew it was only going to get worse. He felt conflicted because his body was telling him to escape the playful torture, but his brain was loving being so close to Jesper. “Jehehes, plehehease…” he giggled out shyly.
“Please what?” Jesper asked, pretending to be oblivious. He wanted to keep everything fun and light, but he was also out for revenge, so he wasn’t planning on giving Wylan an easy time. He reached behind and began the same light torture on his knees and thighs. “Please continue setting all your nerves on edge so that when I do tickle you properly, it will tickle ten times more than usual? Sure!”
Wylan bit his lip to keep the gasps and squeaks that were threatening to escape his mouth in. His thighs and belly button were probably his two worst spots, a fact Jesper seemed to be figuring out much too quickly for his liking. He managed to get himself under control again, mostly. “You know whahahat I meant, you ahahass!”
“Name calling? In your position? My my, Wy, have you learnt nothing about knowing your place since joining the Dregs?”
“I knohohow my place and it’s cehehertainly not below you!”
Jesper grinned at the easy set up the younger boy had given him. “Oh but Wy, below me is exactly where you belong.” he whispered into his ear. Wylan flushed a deep shade of scarlett. The Zemeni smirked. “So? Are you ready to beg?” he asked. He was now honing in on a spot he’d found on Wylan’s inner thighs. He kept going very close to the spot before moving away again, leaving the redhead’s legs kicking out and twitching.
Wylan squeezed his eyes shut in an attempt to ignore the feeling, but he couldn’t. “Plehehease…”
“Gonna need more than that.”
“Please, Jehehes?” he tried.
Jesper snorted fondly. “You’re either terrible at this, or you’re trying to get away with not having to beg, which is a foolish thing to do in your position. Either way, I guess we need to continue until you learn.”
He went back to Wylan’s stomach, circling his bellybutton with a single finger, occasionally darting it in towards the rim and then quickly away again.
Wylan squealed each time he got close, his giggles becoming more consistent now. “Fihihihine! Plehehease tihihickle me!”
“Sorry I couldn’t quite understand you, could you say that again?”
Wylan groaned at the annoying boy above, he was going to kill him. “Jes, please! Plehehease tickle me!”
Jesper finally did as he was asked and dug all ten fingers into Wylan’s tummy and sides, scribbling in with his blunt nails to really get him laughing.
Wylan threw his head back at the sudden change of pace, loud laughter forcing its way from his lungs. “NohoHOHO! JeheheHEHES!” he cackled.
The Zemeni grinned at his booming laughter and kept up the torture. “No? But you asked for this, BEGGED for it in fact!” he teased.
“Yohohou mahahade meheheHEHE!”
“Made you? How could I have made you? I don’t have control over what you say, you have free will.” he said, a shit eating grin plastered on his face. “And you used your free will to beg me to tickle you, so I am!”
The red-haired, red-faced boy was losing his mind. For some reason he’d thought the teasing was worse than the tickling would be, but oh boy was he wrong. Now he was being wrecked and was still getting verbally teased, a combination guaranteed to keep his face matching his hair. “YohohOHOU’RE A DEHEhehehead mahahaHAHAN!”
“Oh so now I’m a man?” Jesper smirked. “If only you’d realised that earlier, then none of this would have happened.”
He scribbled his fingers up to Wylan’s ribs, getting the spot on himself that the younger boy had tortured earlier. He chuckled at the reaction he got, and although Wylan wasn’t laughing as hard, his body was twitching much more dramatically.
The Merchant body flinched each time Jesper squeezed the spots between his ribs. He was sure the older boy must have had training in how to effectively torture a victim, there was no way he should have been able to find the spots that gave the strongest reactions so quickly. As Jesper squeezed a particularly sensitive spot on his lower ribs, his legs shot up in defence, kicking his tormentor in the back.
They both paused.
“…Jehehes… Jesper! I swear that was an accident! Please, I promise! I swear to all the saints!” He rambled.
Of course Jesper knew it was an accident, but that didn’t mean it wasn’t an excellent excuse to keep his promise and completely take Wylan apart. He narrowed his eyes at the boy beneath him. “You’re done for.” he growled.
He reached back and started pinching the spots he’d been previously narrowly avoiding on his inner thighs, sending Wylan into hysterics.
“ShihihIHIHIT! I’M SOHOHORRY!” Wylan shrieked with laughter. “WHA- WHAHAHAT ARE YOU DO- NOHOHOHO!” he cackled as he watched Jesper lower his head and start blowing a seemingly endless stream of raspberries directly onto his bellybutton, without stopping the torture on his thighs. “I CAHAHAN’T!”
Jesper smirked to himself as he blew raspberry after raspberry on Wylan’s worst spot. He knew he wouldn’t be able to keep this up for long, Wylan wouldn’t be able to take it, but he relished in his laughter while he could.
The redhead was thrashing around like crazy, his laughter loud enough to wake half the Barrel, but it finally went silent when Jesper started nibbling the rim of his bellybutton. That was the most ticklish thing Wylan had ever felt, it was almost unbearable. If it had been anyone but Jesper doing it, he probably would have been hating it, but he couldn’t bring himself to hate anything Jesper did.
After a couple of seconds of silent laughter, Jesper stopped and rolled off Wylan to lay beside him, an annoyingly smug grin on his face as he watched the other trying to calm down and regain his composure.
As soon as he was released, Wylan shoved his shirt down and curled into a ball to protect his spots. He panted hard and closed his eyes. “I’d beheheen kidding about tehehelling the others about the spohot on your knees before… but they are ahahabsolutely finding out now.” he managed to get out between residual giggles.
Jesper snorted and stuck another saliva covered finger into the panting boys ear. “Do you want to go for round two?” he asked fondly.
Wylan whined and slapped his hand away. “You’re gross!” he complained, rolling over to look at him with a childish pout, but it was quickly replaced by a small smile when he saw the fond look on Jesper’s face. He blushed a little and looked down, wanting to kiss Jesper but feeling shy about being the one to initiate it.
Jesper cooed. “You’re adorable when you’ve been knocked down a peg or two.” he teased.
Wylan rolled his eyes and flipped Jesper off. “Way to ruin the moment.”
“Who would I be if I weren’t teasing you?” The older boy winked, before placing a small kiss on Wylan’s cheek. “I’m… I’m glad you stayed behind with me.” he said genuinely.
Wylan blushed and smiled. “I’m glad too. Although I’m sure Kaz isn’t going to be happy he had to back down in front of the others… so this might be the last time we see each other.” he joked.
Jesper chuckled. “Better make the most of it then.” he winked, before kissing Wylan passionately.
The Merchant let out a small squeak before melting happily into the kiss. He shifted so he was positioned on top of Jesper, how the older had previously been on him, and continued kissing him.
“Kinky.” Jesper teased, pausing the kissing to glance at inevitable flustered look on Wylan’s face. He smirked.
“Wrong actually.” Wylan told him once he’d gotten his flush under control. He restarted the kissing, but used his fingers to lightly tickle Jesper’s ribs.
It was now the older boys turn to blush and squirm again.
“You tickled me way more than I tickled you, it’s only fair.” Wylan winked, then went back to making out and tickling him softly.
Jesper blushed a little darker, letting out a small giggle as they kissed. Maybe giving Wylan the upper hand every so often wouldn’t be so bad.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Well, isn’t this a surprise?”
Jesper and Wylan practically leapt off of each other, staring startled at the voice.
“Kaz was right.” Inej giggled. “I had more faith in you two, I thought you’d be able to keep your hands off of each other for a few hours while we were out, but apparently not. Now I owe him thirty Kruge.”
Both Jesper and Wylan’s faces were hot this time. Of course it had been Inej, the Wraith could sneak into anywhere she wanted and find out the information she needed without being heard, they should have been more careful. They stuttered over their words, trying to come up with excuses for what they’d been doing.
Inej smiled fondly. “Relax. We all knew it was coming. Plus even if you tried to deny it, your twin hickeys prove otherwise.”
They both flushed darker.
“Everyone will be interested to know that you were underneath though, Jesper. We all thought the Merchling would never get the upperhand.” she smirked, turning to leave the room. “Maybe Kaz’ll let me keep my Kruge for that bit of information.”
That checked Jesper out of his embarrassed daze. “Inej! That information is private!” he growled, as she darted out the room. He ran after her, calling out threats.
Wylan chuckled fondly to himself as he walked down after them. “Hey Inej, I’ve got some other interesting information about his knees you should know!”
“WYLAN! DON’T YOU DARE!”

Only watching Shadow & Bone for the crows ┐( ̄~ ̄)┌
(Malina kissing 15mins into the 1st episode? Can’t you even try to make me invisted in Alina’s story??)
(Also, the show either referencing or adapting SoC duology scenes takes away from a future SoC adaptation... Especially when these scenes barely had any build-up!)
Apropos crows...
Tumblr media
These are my versions of Inej and Kaz: A hooded crow and a limping carrion crow that come looking for food in my garden.
They’re either a group of two or a couple. Usually, ‘Kaz’ is the one that grabs the food first and ‘Inej’ gets their leftovers. They barely eat food directly, instead they hide most of it elsewhere, often burying it under a blanket of plucked moss. ‘Inej’ sometimes grooms ‘Kaz’ but the latter never grooms them back. Together, they’re defending their territory and food against a larger group of crows as well as jackdows, occasionally even squirrels.

Lark Liveblogs Literature episode 3: Six of Crows duology
As we did with Harry Potter, Shadow & Bone Trilogy, and will be doing with The Mortal Instruments when I get back around to them I am liveblogging my reactions to Six of Crows.
What I know prior:
- We’ve got a guy named Kaz, he’s got a cane. My younger sister tells me I’ll adore him so I trust her judgement.
- There’s also a guy named Jesper, who one of my mates stole the name from for a water genasi. He’s queer??
- we also have someone named Wylen. My sister loves him a lot and tells me I will also love him though I am sceptical.
1.) Six of Crows (5/4/23— 10/4/23)
(8/10)
Right off the bat, I really love Inej! Her perspective is really lovely and her affection (/p) for Kaz is very clear from the get-go. It’s so juicy to meet our main protagonist from the perspective of an admirer and NOT themself. I’m obsessed with that.
I’m very respectfully in love with Kaz and did not say I’d makeout with him in the groupchat in front of god and everyone. No, sir. I am the most normal about Kaz Brekker.
Moving on from my goof, I really love Kaz just as a character. Having a disabled protagonist, much less one that’s Top Dog and very clearly feared and respected by his peers is SO GOOD. And quite honestly I think he’s the first disabled protag I’ve seen that wasn’t like, pity porn or magically nullified (at least in books. Love you Toph of Avatar fame). So if anyone has good reccs of other disabled protag books, drop ‘em. I’d love to read more.
OH I LIED ACTUALLY I READ STORMRUNNER!! I just didn’t get a chance to finish that series entirely so sorry I forgot about that. Love him SO MUCH. he and Kaz are my besties.
Inej 💖💖💖
Thats all.
Also the Banter!!! I’m not even a hundred pages in but the banter in Six of Crows is SO much better than Shadow & Bone. Bardugo has really grown as an author between these two series and it shows. The characters feel much more solid in this. Whereas Shadow & Bone’s characters (minus like, Alina, Nikolai, and Mal) felt extremely 2D at times (in my opinion) and I can see layers to Jesper, Inej, and Kaz right off the bat.
MATTHIAS H E L L O TOXIC MAN OF THE WEEK. im going to eat him.
My sister is fighting for her LIFE defending Matthias but I. THIS MAN IS A CONVICTED SLAVE TRAFFICKER??? SHE SAID ITS NOT HIS FAULT. girl. Get help.
Forgot to update this. Kaz is SOOOOO downbad. He’s DOWNBAD. just kiss her idiot. IDIOT. Wylan is funny, I wanna flick him on the forehead and ruffle his hair. He’s so goofy.
I’m not fully convinced Jesper ISN’T in love with Kaz.
THIS FIREPOX FLASHBACK IS A SPECIAL KIND OF FUCKED UP !!! “Together, they drifted, Jodie’s distended body acting as a raft.” Kaz…..
PIECED TOGETHER WHY KAZ HAYES TOUCH IM LITERALLY GOING TO CRY
EVERYONE IN THIS BOOK DOWN BAD FOR EACH OTHER!!! LOVE HEXAGON FR.
The Jylan Wesper whatever the fuck this shipname is development is literally such a tone change from Kaz I’m LAUGHING.
Kaz: This is how my brother died, audience.
Jesper, boutta catch himself a twink: cowabummer.
Nina. Nina you’re better than this. Nina how could you get the alarm sounded. NINA.
Okay debriefing after part five. I’m so. So. So.
Kaz and Inej better kiss. Jesper stop flirting you are about to die. Matthias I almost killed you alive. I wanted to burn you at the stake fr. Nina you’re a queen. You’re theiving. Kaz dont die so you can admit emotional vulnerability for the first time ever. Jesper so proud of you for overcoming tour cringe crush on Kaz. Hurry ip and makeout with Wylan this tension is PAINFUL.
THE ENDING THE ENDING THE ENDING SHSBSBSBSB THATS SO MUCH IM GOING TO EAT WYLAN I LOVE HIM. BOY OF ALL TIME. ILL MAKE OUT WITH YOU.
2.) Crooked Kingdom (13/4/23-17/4/23)
(9/10)
Listen. Okay. My Tumblr was glitched out for the first half of this book so I couldnt say anything but I can NOW.
All of this is WILD.
Kaz Brekker, you are stupid and dumb and I NEED you to be honest about your emotions for ONCE. i swear to GOD you pathetic little WORM.
Wylan’s mother what the HELL. what is HAPPENING. This is so fucked up I hope Jan Van Eck gets his life fucking destroyed by Kaz fuck him UP.
Kuwei i love and hate you so much you cheeky fuck that was so sly but also how fucking dare you do Jesper like that. Little shit. You’ve been too heavily influenced by these deceitful little canal rats.
Wylan babygirl I love you. I’ll kill you if you ACTUALLY spilled to your dad. Honestly thank god Kaz barely tells you anything. I love you. Rot in hell for this one.
STURMHOND 💓💓💓 NIKOLAI LANTSOV 💖💞🖤💚💞 I DIDNT EXPECT TO SEE YOU IM SO HAPPY YOURE HERE I MISSED YOU BESTIE MWAH MWAH MWAH MWAH IM SUCH A NIKOLAI GIRLIE YOU GUYS.
Oh update on Matthias I’m neutral on him now. Sorry for my Matthias slander earlier. I do still have beef.
Everytime a plot twist happens in this book its like “YES. MICHAEL. what do you want now? More money? A check? My SOUL?”
Okay Wylan. Sorry I cussed you out so bad. You’re good. We’re friends again
MATTHIAS DIES????
Wild ride through and through. Obsessed with this. I would’ve liked to see more of Inej’s closure than we did— but I’m not mad at it. I think Pekka being the closing chapter was. I dont know. I have neutral feelings on the Pekka chapter.
I do think I like Crooked Kingdom more than Crows? I really liked it a lot !! And. I will be honest with myself and admit its because of the Sturmhond content. I know myself. I can admit when I am foaming at the mouth over my #1 bestie babe of all time Nikolai Lantsov.
That’s. All. I suppose?
Really did enjoy it !! If you have a fic where we see more of Inej and her family reuniting. Drop it. Or recs in general. I need more recs. I dont know the tag culture of this fandom yet <<3 scary <<3
Next series: All For the Game, Nora Sakavic.
Bonus:
Here’s my ranking of the Crows, btw. I love them all but some. Significantly more than others not sorry.
1. Wylan Hendricks
2. Inej Ghafa
3. Kaz Brekker
4. Jesper Fahey
5. Nina Zenik
6. Matthia Helvar
I dont know if this is a hot take or not. I just. <<3 Wylan and Inej <<3

jesper and wylans shipname is wesper. has been for years
So I have been informed! Adorable. I figured it was either that or jylan, but that doesn't have the same ring to it. Very pleased the wesper shippers made that choice.
For personal usage in my tags, I'm going with "guns & powder", which a friend of mine came up with. Simply because I like the flair, and I think they would too. :)

Should Have Known
Fandom: Six of Crows
Word Count: 2072
Pairing: Jesper/Wylan pre dating
Summary: Jesper is bored but Wylan has been learning his tricks and turns the tables on him. Jesper tries to take what he usually dishes out and learns a valuable lesson.
This is a tickle fic. Enjoy!
Tumblr media
It had been bound to happen really, he should have known. He knew the merchling would grow wise to the teasing eventually, but somehow it still came as a surprise to him.
The rest of the Dregs were all out on a job. Kaz hadn’t allowed Jesper to go, because it would involve going into a few gambling houses and he didn’t trust him not to get sucked in and blow the job. It had stung a bit, but Wylan had insisted on staying behind with Jesper, so that made him feel better, and after some convincing (arguing), Kaz had agreed.
Jesper had to hand it to Wylan, he’d gotten much more confident recently, and convincing Kaz to let him stay at the Slat had been a ballsy move. This increase in confidence should really have been Jesper’s first clue that his rein of one-sided teasing was coming to an end.
The others had only been gone an hour or so, but Jesper’s fingers were already starting to itch. It wasn’t fair that they were getting to gamble and he’d been grounded like a child. He was bored and needed a distraction, and the merchling sitting in the corner of his room was always a fun one.
“One of your buttons is undone, are you trying to seduce me?” Jesper lied with a smirk, flicking Wylan’s nose when he looked down to check.
Wylan rolled his eyes in an attempt to draw attention away from his pink cheeks. He chose not to respond, not wanting to give the Zemeni boy the satisfaction of hearing the inevitable nerves in his voice.
Jesper grinned to himself and moved to sit on the arm of Wylan’s chair. “Aww, come on, Wy. What’s a man got to do around here to get some attention from the cutie in the corner?” he teased softly into Wylan’s ear while his fingers grazed his bicep.
That nearly got him, but Wylan couldn’t help but laugh at that, much to the Fabrikator’s chagrin. “Man?” he snorted. “If you’d just referred to yourself as the boy that you are, you probably would have gotten the reaction you wanted from me, but alas, your big ego got in the way.” he winked.
The older boy scoffed indignantly. “I do not have a big ego! I’m more of a man than you are!”
Wylan snickered. “Well you sound like a whiny toddler right now.”
“I do not!” he huffed, sounding significantly like a whiny toddler. He stood up and crossed his arms, so he could pout at the younger, but dropped them quickly as he realised he was proving his point. Wylan smirked and Jesper felt some heat raising in his cheeks.
This back and forth should have been his second clue that their dynamic was changing.
Jesper rolled his shoulders back and straightened up. “You’re walking a risky line, Merchling.” he told him with as much confidence as he could muster while forcing himself to hold eye contact with Wylan and his smug grin.
“And yet you’re the one who seems nervous. I don’t think it’s me that should be worried, Jes. I think you’ve been playing too many risky games recently, and now you’re worried they’re going to come back and… bite you!” Wylan launched himself out of the chair towards Jesper, but stopped just short of actually touching him. He doubled over laughing at the surprised shriek that left the Zemeni’s mouth.
Jesper shot him a glare. “Stop laughing at me!” he complained, but there was no real annoyance in his voice, he knew they were just playing.
The younger boy calmed his laughter and grinned cheekily at his friend. “But that noise was so cute!”
Jesper blushed properly now. “It was not.”
“It definitely was.” he teased, pinching Jesper’s cheeks and cooing. “Awww, are you blushing? Your cheeks are so hot!”
Jesper pushed his hands away, but Wylan grabbed his wrists to keep him close. Jesper’s breath hitched the tiniest bit at that, and he looked into Wylan’s eyes, feeling his usually cocky demeanour falter.
“Problem?”
“You’re stealing my role.”
The merchant chuckled. “Maybe if you’d teased me less, I wouldn’t have been able to learn all your tricks so quickly.”
“Maybe if you let go of my wrists before I have to force you, I’ll let you feel the touch of my nimble fingers running through your hair, while I whisper sweet nothings in your ear.” He shot back, a last ditch attempt at regaining the upper hand.
“I don’t think you really want me to let you go.” Wylan smirked.
That was when Jesper finally realised his days of getting the younger boy to blush whenever he wanted with no repercussions were over. He should have known Wylan would learn quickly. He should have known that one day all the teasy, flirtatious comments he’d thrown at Wylan would come back and bite him in the ass. He’d given the younger all the tools he needed to knock Jesper down a few pegs, and he’d done it of his own volition.
Wylan could see the realisation written all over Jesper’s face and it only boosted his confidence. “Uh oh, is the little gunslinger in over his head?” he winked, slowly walking Jesper backwards until his back was against the wall. “Can he dish it out but not take it?”
Said gunslinger was doing his best to keep it together, but he’d taught Wylan well, and he suspected some of Nina’s charm and confidence may also have rubbed off on him too. He pulled lightly on his wrists, trying to get them out of Wylan’s grip, but the younger had gotten stronger during his time with the Dregs, which caught him a little by surprise. Jesper was sure if he really wanted to, he could still overpower Wylan, but… he wasn’t sure yet if he really wanted to.
Wylan smirked smugly when he felt the tug of Jesper’s wrists. “What’s wrong? Can’t escape? Honestly Jes, I’m a little offended that you underestimated me.” he teased.
The older boy rolled his eyes, but his expression quickly turned back to a flustered one when Wylan pulled his arms over his head and pinned them with one of his against the wall. He wanted to fight back, to prove that he wasn’t this easy to overpower, but maybe he was. Maybe all it took for him to melt was for Wylan to play him at his own game.
Wylan leaned in and chuckled lowly in his ear. “I’m going to take you apart.”
Jesper was done for. All the feelings towards his merchling that he’d been pushing down came bubbling up, showing themselves in the form of a hitching breath and a deep blush to rival the shade of Wylan’s hair. He gazed deeply into Wylan’s eyes and parted his lips slightly as the younger leaned in towards them. He closed his eyes, ready to finally get to admit his feelings without using teasing as a coverup. He was ready to be vulnerable.
And vulnerable is what he suddenly realised he was as he felt fingers spidering into his belly and laughter being forced from his unsuspecting mouth. “Wha-mehEHEherchling!” he gasped out through his laughter. He opened his eyes and was met by Wylan’s cheeky grin.
The Merchant snickered at the shock on the others face as he tickled his belly lightly. “You thought you were going to get what you wanted that easily, hmm? After the amount of teasing you’ve put me through? Oho no, Jes. I told you I was going to take you apart, and I meant it.”
If Jesper could have blushed darker, he would have. Wylan must have had some pointers from Nina, there was no way he’d gotten this good so fast on his own. He would be having some words with the fellow Grisha.
“I’m gohohohoing to kill yohohohou!” Jesper laughed, not sounding particularly threatening. He could feel himself sliding down the wall in an attempt to escape the tickling, but Wylan followed him down easily.
“Oh I’m so scared.” The younger snickered sarcastically. He moved his fingers up and tried Jesper’s armpits, grinning at the increase in laughter.
All the Dregs knew Jesper was ticklish. None had found out on purpose, and none had really taken things further than the occasional scribble to his sides. But he wasn’t very good at hiding his happiness or excitement, so Wylan had noticed how he lit up on the rare occasions he received a well placed poke or squeeze for a sassy comment or joke.
“I know you like this, Jes.” Wylan smiled fondly, as he slipped a hand up the pinned boy’s shirt and scratched maddeningly at his ribs.
“I do NOHOHOT! NohoHOHOT THEHERE! MEHEHERCHLIHIHING!”
The Merchant smirked a smirk, that looked far too evil for his face, at the reaction he received. “Bad spot? I think I might stay here until you admit that you’re enjoying this.”
Jesper had slid all the way down the wall at this point and was laughing loudly. “I DOHOHO NOHOHOT!”
Wylan let go of his wrists and used both hands to tickle his bare ribs now. Jesper’s arms were too worn out to do much more than grab weakly at his hands. He threw his head back in laughter, practically lying on the floor.
“FIHIHINE! I LIHIHIKE IT! NohoHOHOW STOHOHOP!” he demanded, but the smile on his face said otherwise.
Wylan smirked and stopped. “I know you do.” he winked, before placing a quick peck on the still giggling Zemeni’s cheek and drilling right back in.
The blush that had been beginning to fade from Jesper’s face immediately reappeared before he was thrown back into fits of laughter. “YOHOU ARE DEHEHEAD, YOHOHOU TEHEHEASE!”
Wylan laughed along with him now. “Me? A tease? I’ll take that as a compliment coming from you!” he beamed cheekily. He decided to give his ribs a break and skittered his fingers down his body to his legs. He squeezed up and down his thighs and found a wonderful little spot above Jesper’s knees that made him squeal adorably.
After a few more minutes of the treatment, the usually cocky, older boy’s laughter had gone silent and Wylan finally stopped for real. “Did… did I overdo it?” he asked, suddenly sounding much more like his usual, more reserved self.
Jesper was panting hard, but still had a big grin on his face. He shook his head, but playfully shoved the red haired boy. “Yohou will live to rehehegret this though…” he threatened, residual giggles still escaping his lips.
Wylan chuckled, relaxing again. “Mhm, I’m sure.” he teased. “Just so you know, I’m telling everyone about that spot on your knee that makes you squeal like an adorable little girl.”
Jesper flushed. “You will not.” he glared.
The redhead just shot him a wink. He stood up from where he’d been crouching over Jesper and held a hand out to help him up.
Jesper took it and pulled himself up. He used the momentum to push Wylan backwards onto the bed, earning a whine of protest from him, but it was quickly silenced as Jesper pushed their lips together, kissing him deeply.
Now it was Wylan’s turn to blush as he kissed him back passionately. After a couple of minutes Jesper pulled away and smiled down at the younger boy. “I should have been cruel to you and teased you the way you teased me… but I couldn’t resist your kissable face.”
Wylan chuckled fondly and blushed darker. “Your face isn’t so bad either.” he smiled back. “Plus I don’t think you should have been cruel, because me teasing you was just revenge for all the times you’ve teased me,” he rambled. “So as far as I’m concerned, we’re even now. Also, I think that now that we are both on the same lev- hey, what are you dohoho- JeheHEHES! Nohohoho! I’m sohohohorry!” He burst into bright giggles as Jesper shut him up with a dose of rib tickles.
Jesper smirked down at him. He shifted so he was straddling Wylan’s waist and used his knees to pin his arms. “Too late for apologies, Merchling. You’ve made your bed, it’s time to lie in it.” he winked. “What was it you said to me? Ahh yes… I’m going to take you apart… You really should have known I wouldn’t let you get away with messing with me.”
