Nathaniel lay down on the bed and picked up his cell phone, he wanted to draw but he just couldn't, he was in a horrible creative block

“Nath!” Marc called him “do you want me to make you a snack?” He shouted from the kitchen

“No, thanks, I'm not hungry”

Marc appeared in the bedroom doorway and raised his eyebrows at his boyfriend

“Nath, what's up?” He sat on the bed, facing the other

“Nothing” Nathaniel didn’t even take his eyes off the screen

“Nathaniel…”

“It doesn’t matter, it’s stupid” the redhead sighed

“It’s not, nothing you feel is stupid, Nath, and it never will be” Marc took one of his hands and caressed it

Nathaniel finally looked at him “it’s a creative block”

“And why would that be stupid? Nath? Creative blocks are horrible, I know, but it’ll be okay, I’m sure you’ll solve it”

“Yeah… I think so”

Nathaniel lay down further on the bed, he crossed his arms and went back to looking at nowhere

Marc sighed

“You know…”

The redhead looked at him

“You have to cheer up! And what better for that than…” Marc came closer and started to caress his boyfriend’s belly, Nath couldn’t contain a surprised laugh “a good tickle!”

The older boy tried to hold his boyfriend's hands, but failed when they started squeezing his ribs

“EheheheHAHAHAHA! Mahahahaharc!” Nath was really trying to hold back his laughter, but he was failing miserably

“What's wrong Nath?~ It seems like you got more excited” Marc smiled, he didn't usually tease much while tickling, but today he was feeling playful

“Oh?~ Is it something funny?~ Tell me, Nath! I want to laugh too~”

Nathaniel blushed until he turned into a tomato, he simply couldn't stand being teased

“Oin~ but how cute~ are you too sensitive?” Marc reached for his boyfriend's knees and squeezed them, making him scream

“NOHOHOHO! I’M GOHOHOHONNAHAHA KIHIHIHILL YOHOHOHOU!”

“Oh?~ Are you?” he smiled

In a moment of strength, Nathaniel grabbed Marc and managed to roll on the bed until he was on top of him, he quickly grabbed the brunette's wrists and pinned them above his head

“Feeling funny today?” Nath took a deep breath, still recovering

“I-I- n-no-“

“Let's see who's going to laugh now”

The cartoonist vibrated his way around directly into Marc's armpits, not giving him time to even think

“AHAHAHAHA! NAHAHAHATH!”

“You don't know how to tease, Marc~ you can't even say the word 'tickle'” Nathaniel lowered his face to be practically two centimeters from the other “‘are you too sensitive?’” He made quotation marks with one of his hands to emphasize the sentence

“SOHOHOHOHORRY!”

“Ohoho, now apologize? Don't worry, I won't let you go anytime soon~”

Nath let go of his wrists to start focusing on an even more sensitive spot

He grabbed one of Marc's ankles and lightly ran his fingers over the sole of his foot

“No! Oh no! NahahaHAHAHAHAHATH!”

“Tickle, tickle, tickle Marc~ what's wrong? Can't you finish what you started?”

Marc writhed from side to side, he didn't hate this affection, obviously not, but he couldn't take it

“PLEHEHEHEHAHAHASE NAHAHATH! STOHOHOHOHOP!”

Nathaniel obeyed, when Marc gets to the point of asking him to stop it's because he really can't take it anymore

The redhead threw himself next to his boyfriend

“I just wanted to make you feel better” the brunette painted

“You did, really” Nath smiled softly “thanks, rainbow”

“You’re welcome”

“Well… I think that every time i fell bad, I’ll tickle, tickle, tickle you~” he wiggled his finger to his boyfriend

Marc blushed “Stoooooop!”

They laughed

Thanks for reading 💛💛

the fact that nora made Jean gentle at heart is so special to me. despite everything that’s happened to him and although he’s a bit abrasive, he still cleans the damn dishes and puts away leftovers without being asked i love him so much

[inafieldofstarflowers]

this scene is so incredibly important to me for so many reasons

“a rabid little Fox who’d had a lifetime to master his lies” is such a good descriptor of Neil

Jean’s reasoning behind believing in the possibility of a future being that neither Jeremy nor Renee benefit from lying about what happened, while he doesn’t trust Neil’s word alone because Neil has too much at stake here, is fascinating insight into how he views Neil & the complexity of that relationship

Renew answering Neil’s implied request for assurance that Jean will be okay with a promise not to leave him

The fact that Jean reaches out for Neil seemingly without meaning to, like he’s a lifeline—even though he just talked about not having any reason to trust Neil

THE moment, of course, is the shift from “Nathaniel” to “Neil” in Jean’s head, and I think it’s important on multiple levels. First, this is Jean accepting that Neil came out on top. He won, Riko lost. He lived, Riko died. Nathaniel was the boy Riko had plans for, Neil is the one who carved a path for himself. Second, I think this is Jean letting go of his own idea of who Nathaniel was (or, perhaps, should have been) & choosing to trust who he has made himself to be.

The fact that Neil immediately stops when Jean says his name says so much about how Neil feels about Jean in return—Neil isn’t soft with people as a general rule, and I don’t necessarily think he is with Jean either, but there are moments like this where you can see so clearly how much he has grown through the series when it comes to small gestures of affection.

“It was a good game.” THE line of this conversation to me, actually. To me, this is the precursor for the I didn’t deserve what they did to me conversation in TGR. Jean isn’t in a space yet to say he’s glad he won’t be back at the Nest or talk shit about Riko, but in this moment, he’s implying it. Riko’s game—his perfect court and his manipulations and abuse—is over, and ultimately, he didn’t just lose to Neil, Neil made him look like a fool. He turned down his offer and talked shit about him to the press and then showed him up, just like he said he would. Neil didn’t just play along, he made his own rules. And this is Jean, saying with the words he can, that he’s glad. And Neil’s response? It’s one of his rare smiles, and though we don’t see it, because Jean doesn’t, I would guess it’s the same one that’s described as unsettling by both Jean and Jeremy, and that Neil himself sometimes tries to suppress. He understands the implications of Jean’s statement immediately & doesn’t press him about it; he just agrees. It was, wasn’t it?

[ninyard]

the real tragedy of an aftg live action adaptation would be how they wouldn’t be able properly show the Neil/Nathaniel switch in TKM as it is on paper

[afurtivecake]

ok but, what if the day neil realized he wanted nothing to do with his father's business and that he just wanted to play exy was the day riko had his awakening to violent sadism? like, what if little baby-sadist riko was soooo excited to get nathaniel because he thought it was so cool that he got to have the butcher of baltimore as his dad. maybe he was really looking forward to asking nathaniel all about the cleaver and the knives, and did nathaniel know how to use knives? did he have any? has he ever watched his father work before? but then the next day comes and nathaniel doesn't show up and riko spends months deeply disappointed. it's made worse by the fact that no one will tell him what happened to nathaniel. when he talks to kevin about it, kevin says he thought it was probably good the kid never came back. and when he gets mad at kevin for saying that, then kevin's sorry. then kevin says they don't need him anyway. the two of them are going to be the best and they don't need a third - which... is true, so riko forgives him.

and then years later, he sees kevin talking up this newbie striker, which is bad enough in itself. but then riko does some digging and finds out that this guy kevin's gushing about is none other than nathaniel wesninski. the same guy kevin once dismissed as not good enough for them when he had been the one person riko had actually wanted to play with. and that's the guy kevin is replacing him with.

[captain-danwilds]

Imagine the chaos in this fandom if TSC Book 2 dropped and the narration said “Jean-Yves” at the start of the chapter. I feel like Stuart told us Riko forced Jean to change his name, we just nodded like yep so tragic, and then we continued to use just “Jean” everywhere.

Which I get, using Jean is easy to tag because that’s what he was called in almost 4 full books. Some people also haven’t read tsc. But I feel like if Nora went as far to have Jean-Yves in big font we’d have to collectively shift how we talked about the character.

[emmerrr]

something about how even though jean's been calling neil 'nathaniel' in his head this whole time, he never says it to his face (preferring his several wonderful insults <3), despite the fact that neil's father is dead now and they no longer belong to the minor family. because he knows that's not who neil is anymore, it's not who he's chosen to be, it's not his name. but it's not until riko's dead that jean gives himself implicit permission to abide by neil's new identity -- even in his own head! -- because he knows riko never would have allowed it.

[dykekarkat]

just thought about andreil in baltimore. eye twitching.

[alex-lif]

So, are we gonna talk about how after Glass Palace accident Nathaniel most likely loose his hand or both because Gladstone stuff evaporate literally in his palms. It's worse than hold a grenade. And I think, maybe, he going to need a damn hand prosthesis? No? Okay

(if some magician medicine don't bring him his smeared on the walls bones)

(Dude would literally be picked up piece by piece, from ruins lol)

As my bestie says, that would be educationally for him

[i-am-trying-my-best-okay]

"Patiently" awaiting for when Jean's narration switches from referring to himself as 'Jean' to 'Jean-Yves'

[icharchivist]

Anders/Justice/Nathaniel party is just dramatic irony, the banter party

[mah-t-wordblog]

Can we get another Nath vs. Marc tk fic, but the twist is that their just endlessly teasing each other without actually touching 🙃

Yeeeeeah! Here it is! My babies!!! Sorry for the delay, hard week 💛💛

Draw

Switch: Nathaniel Kurtzberg, Marc Anciel (more teasing than real tickles)

❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜❤️🧡

Ships: Marcaniel

Warnings: This is a tickle fic, if you don’t like it, just scroll down

Nathaniel's seat in the classroom was at the last desk, right at the back, it wasn't a bad spot, he could pay attention to the teacher and draw if he wanted

Beside him was a window that showed the view outside the classroom, to the schoolyard, sometimes, when he didn't feel like paying attention, he would stare out of this window, watching people pass by outside

Today Nath had one more class than Marc, he knew that, so the boy would went to the art room to wait for him

At one point when Nathaniel looked at the window, Marc was there, the dark-haired boy realized that the other was looking at him and smiled, waving his hands

Nath waved back, smiling

The writer gave a strange smile, and then shook his fingers as if they were claws, he wanted to see Nath's reaction

No sooner said than done, the artist simply blushed 5 shades of red, Marc didn't even know he could make his boyfriend like that, he laughed when Nath tried to hide his blushing face

“Nathaniel? Are you okay?” The teacher asked “you're so red, do you want to go out for a bit?”

Nathaniel stood up “yes, please teacher” and ran away

In the hallway, he reached Marc, pulled him close and whispered in his ear

“If you keep doing these things, I’ll have to tickle you so, so, so much to remember you who’s the most ticklish” he smiled

The dark-haired boy blushed possibly twice as much as the other, Nath just walked away and went back to his room, leaving the other disconsolate there

After class ended, Nath found Marc and they went together to the dark-haired boy’s apartment, his parents weren’t home

During the whole way, Marc couldn’t help but blush and feel anxious that grew with each second he remembered the scene of him teasing Nath, and of course, being teased back

He shivered

Nathaniel, on the other hand, smiled mischievously, sometimes, “accidentally”, poking his boyfriend’s side or giving him a light squeeze, unintentionally of course

When they arrived at the apartment, they left their things in the living room

“Marc~” Nathaniel began, with his fingers in the shape of claws and shaking them slightly

“S-stop it!” Marc sat on the couch, covering his face

“Why? Are you afraid of tickling?”

The writer let out another little scream

“What’s wrong, rainbow, you don’t like the word tickle? Tickle, tickle tickle~” Nath sat next to his boyfriend and tried to grab his ribs, but the attack was stopped by Marc, who grabbed his hands and looked at him with a face that seemed like he was trying to look threatening

“N-not again, I’m going to do t-that to you” he was brave, jumped forward and grabbed one of Nathaniel’s arms, lifting it above his head

“Wow, where did that strength come from?” Nathaniel smiled, without any real fear of his boyfriend

“You’ll see the strength that will come when I finish you” he approached the other’s face “I’m going to t-t-tickle you until you forget your own name, love”

Yeah… Nath didn’t expect that, where did that courage come from? This time it was the redhead who blushed even more, his heart racing in his chest as he looked away, not wanting to look at Marc

“What’s wrong? Weren’t you the t-tickle monster? What happened?~ Am I making you nervous, Nath?”

“S-shut up” he murmured

“Oh~ so we’ve reached a serious stage~ how about if now you start laughing?~”

“M-Marc Anciel!” In a fit of nervousness Nath pushed his boyfriend and reversed roles, ending up sitting on top of him. He held one of his hands under his knee, while raising the other above Marc's head, exposing his weakest points.

“Oops~ not so confident now, huh?~”

That was true, Marc's eyes widened and he started to giggle.

“Why are you giggling?”

“I’m nohohohot- EheheAH!” The writer exclaimed when Nathaniel brought his hand closer to his exposed armpit. “I dohohohon’t knohohohohow!”

“Save those precious laughs for when I really finish you off.”

“Nohohoho! Pleheheheheahahse!”

“And all these begging too~” he smiled mischievously, finally attacking his boyfriend

The tickle fight didn't last a minute on the same person, Marc and Nath felt hungry to make each other laugh and blush

In the end, they were so tired that they lay down, one next to the other, and simply fell asleep on the couch, without even realizing it

Marc's parents came home and saw the two of them there, together, cute, and put a blanket over them

It was obviously a draw

❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜❤️🧡
