#making the poor interviewer flustered. and the fans go insane for it

[zyremita]

Really niche thing but I was rewatching the gameplay trailer and I love when Sparrow mentions a "complete lack of media training" bc it reminds me of when Colapinto's terrible media training last year led him to constantly flirt with whoever was interviewing him after races

hi! idk if req are open but can i request an nct 127 reaction where their idol s/o is maybe on the same variety show as them? :) ty!

here you go <33

i haven’t written for nct in sooooo long, so this feels good. i hope you guys enjoy this :D

this is just nct 127 acting like five year olds in front of the cameras, all because of their gorgeous s/o. i did get a little carried away with haechan’s, especially with making him into a huge menace (affectionate) <33

reaction under the cut

taeil

oh lord, i just know that he’d be nervously laughing, which makes things slightly awkward, but absolutely hilarious for the audience. the hosts are just thinking ‘wtf is up with him’, while you, his members and your members are trying not to giggle at how flustered he is that you’re both on the same show together. nctzens just make tons of comments like ‘taeil isn’t making his feelings for y/n totally obvious or anything 👀💀’, and ‘he looks like he’s about to pass out wtf.’

johnny

johnny would be all up in your personal space, if you had to do any physical activities. let’s just say you miraculously got paired up together and he had to guide you to a specific place while you’re blindfolded, best believe that he would be basically back hugging you the whole time. you two would be giggling together and acting all cute, making it totally obvious that there’s something going on between you both. fans would definitely trend something like ‘#johnny gets bitches?’ 💀💀

taeyong

at first, everything is going smoothly, and you’d think that taeyong is just going to act like a normal human for the duration of filming. that is until one of the hosts picks up on your boyfriend’s sneaky glances of you, and then he shrivels up into a blushing, stuttering mess. “what’s so interesting about y/n huh?” all of the blood rushes to the poor man’s face, “n-nothing, i mean w-what are you talking about?!?!” 👀👀…and it was all going so so well.

yuta

now yuta would actually manage to act like a functional human being. the filming would go very smoothly on his part. he would answer any questions he was asked, take part in all the activities and interact very well with you and the rest of your group. the only tell-tale sign that anything was going on between you two, would be the myriad of compliments that he would throw your way. “wow y/n did amazing in that last challenge, they’re such a fast runner and they still look stunning afterwards.” starting to look a lil sus there yuta.

doyoung

we would all like to think that doyoung is another sensible man for the most part. however, sometimes he won’t even look your way because he thinks the fans will catch onto the fact that you’re dating, yet this just makes him look so awkward. everyone is just thinking ‘wtf’, while you’re sat there facepalming. the paranoid look does not look good on doyoung, mans is sweating and acting shifty asl. the comments are definitely things like ‘my guy is fighting for his life out there.’ if anyone tries to criticise you on the show though, he is the first one to jump in and defend you.

jaehyun

i think that jaehyun would try to act composed like yuta, and he would succeed at the beginning of the filming process, but it would gradually descend into him giggling to himself just because you’re also on the variety show with him. he would honestly start behaving like a naughty school child, making him look a little insane. jaehyun would be thinking something like ‘omg i know some things about y/n that all these people don’t hehehe. *internal gasp* I’M SPECIAL.’ meanwhile, everyone is so concerned with how he’s acting, but no one says a thing. nctzens make some of the funniest looking clips go viral and caption them stuff like ‘he was either going through a high fever, or he was literally just high.’

jungwoo

throughout the variety show, jungwoo spills so much information about you, honestly not giving a fuck about what anyone thinks. when the hosts ask how he knows so much about you in those patronisingly teasing voices, he just answers “well we’re *smirks at you* really close so i have loads of stories about them, and of course…i’M tHeIr BiGgEsT fAAAAn!!!!” the embarrassment that flows through you, from head to toe, is unbearable, which is why you decide to have your own fun. you tell almost every embarrassing story you can think of about jungwoo. the variety show has now turned into a battle of humiliation…good luck, you’ll need it.

mark

let me introduce you to giggling five year old #2, a.k.a mark lee. every single time he catches your eye, he bursts out into fits of giggles, but no one questions it because 1. if they’re the members, they know about you and mark, and 2. literally everyone is used to mark laughing at anything and everything. the thing is, you’re exactly the same as mark, so the pair of you are crying with laughter in the corner, completely immobilised by your own idiocy, while everyone else is doing the tasks and interviews. but ermmmm at least you two are happy.

haechan

bestie, i’ll be honest with you, this is a tough time for you, not haechan, just you. that’s because this man will do anything to tease you and make you blush…at this point he’ll probably make you pass out from embarrassment. he’ll make a huge show of it too, flouncing about and making theatrical gestures, when telling the most embarrassing stories about you. “and then *flails is arms everywhere* they TRIPPED, in front of who you ask?!?!?!?! LEE SOOMAN HIMSELF!!!!!!!” *pretends to faint, very dramatically*. haechan will also not hesitate to straight up smack a massive smooch right on your cheek in front of the cameras, revelling in the shocked look on your face and the way you want the ground to swallow you up. he will get his ass beat by you and all of the nct management team after filming. what can i say…stay safe soldier 🧍‍♀️

Interview’s Aren’t Always Boring

Thank you to my close friend @tickleeteases​ for the prompt! In this fic, the reader manages to sneak up behind Tom to tickle him whilst he’s doing an interview whilst wearing no trousers, but he’s quick to get revenge. Enjoy!

You smiled fondly as you watched Tom being as kind as ever during yet another interview for his new upcoming film, Cherry. You always admired how sweet he was to the interviewers, even when he got asked the craziest questions which would send the normal person insane.

"Yes, I can confirm that I am pantless once more." Tom replied with a giggle, briefly lifting his leg to show the camera his bare leg. You rolled your eyes with a fond smirk, whatever made him comfy, you thought to yourself as you listened on out of eyesight of the camera.

After a while though, you began to get restless, the questions were getting repetitive, since this was the millionth interview he had done over the last few days, you wanted to do something without disturbing Tom too much, your eyes gazed down to his bare legs once more before looking back up at Tom's laptop screen, smirking to yourself as you thought of an idea to entertain the both of you, and eventually his fans.

You slowly slid off your seat and began crawling towards Tom, hoping he was too invested in the interview to notice you sneaking up on him. Thankfully, he didn't seem to notice you sitting beside him and continued answering questions.

You grinned and sat cross legged, and began to glide your nails up and down the back of his calves, feeling him twitch in surprise as his eyes briefly widened before glancing down at you for a few seconds. However, he easily managed to cover himself up and continue talking as if nothing happened, damn his acting skills.

You soon decided to kick it up a notch by scribbling your fingers under his knees, it was a lot harder for poor Tom to compose himself, he scrunched his face up and playfully flicked your nose, ensuring his actions weren't seen by the camera. You simply gasped, and skittered your fingers up to his thighs, the action causing Tom to let out a steady stream of giggles.

"Sohohohorry... something cahahame up on my screheheen..." Tom tried to explain as you tried to hold back your own laughter. You could tell that Tom wasn't angry at you for doing this, but he knew he had to try and remain as professional as possible, but it was pretty hard since you were tickling him.

"Are you sure you're okay, Tom?" The interviewer asked as Tom was still giggling, and it was easy to tell that something was happening from his upper body wriggling around slightly, which was visible from the camera. "Yeheheah, sohohohorry..." He giggled out. You eventually stopped torturing him and returned to your spot away from the camera, watching as Tom got flustered for the remainder of the interview.

Once it was over, Tom made sure everything was turned off before turning to you with raised eyebrows, you were trying had not to burst into laughter the moment you saw his bright red face.

"You really thought that was funny, Y/N? Making me look like an absolute fool in front of Entertainment Weekly?" He asked, smirking at you before getting up and slowly approaching you.

You immediately knew what was coming, and you curled up on the sofa and began giggling nervously. "Tohohohom... get your hairless legs away from me!" You squealed out, knowing you were basically digging your own grave at this point, but you already knew what your punishment was, so you may as well poke fun at him whilst you still could.

"Oh I'll give you something to laugh about!" Tom smirked, gently tackling you so you were laying down on the sofa, wasting no time in squeezing up and down your thighs, grinning as you squealed with high pitched giggles, you immediately began shoving at your best friend. "Tohohohohom! Quihihihihihit it!" You yelped, but you knew you weren't going to get anywhere anytime soon.

"Doesn't feel nice, does it, Y/N? Maybe I should film this for my story since the whole world is gonna see me get tickled!" He teased, he would never do that to you, but the thought was more than enough to get you blushing madly as you let out another fit of giggles.

"I'm sohohohohorry!" You yelped, your giggles turning into squealing laughter as Tom moved to shake his hands into your belly, he loved that he didn't have to pin you down, as you were way too weak to move him, so you just had to lay there and accept your fate.

"Sorry won't stop future fans from tickling me I'm afraid! I need to make sure I get revenge now for when it does happen in the future!" Tom teased, gently scribbling his fingers into your sides and belly, smiling down at your giggling, squealing self.

Tom couldn't help but smirk fondly down at you before managing to drill his fingers under your arms, causing you to yelp and slam your arms down to your sides. "Plehehehease!" You begged, trying to give him the puppy eyes you knew he couldn't resist, but it was pretty hard whilst you were giggling hysterically.

"Pleeeease what? Raspberry your neck? My pleasure!" Tom grinned, leaning down and burying his face into your neck, pausing the tickles under your arms for a brief second to build up anticipation, before leaning down and blowing a huge raspberry on your neck, knowing this was one of your many weaknesses.

"TOHOHOHOHOM!" You yelped and screeched with laughter, it didn't help that Tom moved back down to your sides and squeezed in rapidly, which made you laugh louder and harder, accepting the fact that there was nothing you could do to stop him. But the more he was tickling you, the more you didn't really mind that he was doing it.

However, he only continued for another thirty seconds or so before pulling away after one more neck raspberry, he grinned and watched you take in deep breaths, with the occasional giggle slipping out.

Tom took your hand and pulled you to a seated position, he smiled fondly and poked your nose after you playfully flipped him off. "If we're hanging out the day a fan tickles me, you're gonna have to go through this all again." He told you, ruffling your hair before going to his room to change into less formal clothes, leaving you to lay there and recover.

However, you were forever thankful for what just happened, and you just knew you were going to get playfully attacked by your best friend a lot more often, not that you minded.
