Small synopsis: famous explorer Huang Renjun runs into a sticky situation once he encounters two mythical shapeshifters who catch him whilst he attempts to steal their treasure,, the two explain they have a way of dealing with intruders...

This is a fic to celebrate the six month anniversary of me and @sunny-from-elysium !! I hope you like it 🥺

The sun rises above the horizon slowly,, now that dawn has hit it was time to complete the last stretch of the journey. Renjun was an explorer, renowned and famous for his findings, and a few days prior he had left home to search for the next big thing. He was searching for an old temple that was said to be abandoned for around 250 years. He was determined ti discover it and retrieve the jewel from inside of it as proof of his endeavor. He was becoming quite the collector now,, since he had trinkets and treasures from all over the land. He packs up his equipment from when he was camping out under the stars the night prior and once again sets off through the unmanaged growth in search of the temple.

He had to admit, in all his years of exploration he hadn't seen scenery this gorgeous. The trees were a pleasant sage colour and they towered over him, vines and other rich foliage hanging from their branches. There were quite a few stray branches around him,, though he was rather short so he was able to duck beneath a lot of them. There were bushes of a more vivid green with splotches of colour on them, most likely flowers. He can hear rushing water from somewhere, and he smiles gently. It was soothing. He eventually reaches an area of the woodland that's more overgrown,, like it's hiding a secret from him. He came equipped, though, this was his job after all. He takes a thick blade and cuts through some expanses of branches and vines in order to pass through. And there, before him, was the temple he had been searching for. He quickly pulls out his old journal and his splotchy ink pen to scribble down the date and what the temple looked like.

He quietly and carefully approaches the old building, noting how worn down it was. "This must be ancient," he murmurs dumbly as he slowly enters through the front of the building, noting how the archway looked on the verge of collapsing. It also quickly comes to his attention that there are many holes in the ceiling of the temple, allowing the glowing sun to smile at him through these wayward cracks. He brushes some of his hair out of his face as he continues to venture onwards. He soon finds himself in a large expanse where the ceiling appears to not be there at all. There's a small pond in the centre of the expanse,, where one might place offerings to a god of some kind, or some being to be worshipped. Curiously, Renjun inches forward to inspect the pool. The water within looks surprisingly clear, and the statue that sits at its edge holds its hands out, and that's when he spots it. "The jewel!" he exclaims in excitement as he seats himself on the stone edge, removing his boots and his socks before gently dipping his toes into the water to check its temperature.

Slowly submerging himself in the cool liquid, Renjun slowly wades over to the statue's outstretched arms and plans to take the jewel. As his fingers delicately caress the sparkling treasure, a voice echoes behind him. "Did you see that? He's laying his fingers all over the godess' treasure..." The voice titters, and a higher pitched one laughs in agreement. "He must have a wish for punishment!~" The other voice teases. Renjun's head whips behind him, but he sees no sign of other people. Are these thoughts merely in his head? "Strange... maybe you're hearing things, Renjun," he mutters to himself,, much to the two voice's delight apparently. "Oh my,, he thinks he's just hearing things, Jeno!" The higher pitched voice states. "He must be used to not bring caught red handed!"

Renjun whips around again,, or... he attempts to. His torso is stuck,, and his head tilts down when he notices.... "Why is the water solid?! It's like... a slimey substance..." he squeaks in disbelief. "It appears you've found yourself in a rather sticky situation, explorer," the deeper voice teases. "We have ways of punishing snooping explorers like you... nobody wanders in here to steal the goddess' treasure and gets away with it, you know~ ♫" the squeakier voice sings. Renjun's eyes gaze up to the statue and he notices two snakes hanging off of the statue's shoulders, their coils wrapped tightly around its arms. He presumes this statue is the goddess the two voices speak of, though it becomes increasingly clear to him that he's not dealing with other mortals. "The snakes are talking?! Is this a dream?" he asks in exasperation and one of the snakes hisses in joy at his realization. "There you go, you just had to look up!~ ♫"

The explorer attempts to move his body, desperate to escape but the slimey substance his body was submerged in didn't want to budge unless he really pushed it. And that's how he ended up on his back. He was definitely stuck now. The slimey substance had him wrapped up firmly by the wrists and ankles in a spread eagle position. "What's going on? How do I get out?" he asks the two snakes in desperation but neither of them are fussed with replying to his pleas. "I don't think that's the thing you need to be worrying about right now.." The snake with the deeper voice coos. The two snakes slither their way slowly down the goddess statue's body before reaching the poolside where Renjun wish he would've stayed. Two clouds of smoke waft through the air and two strange men sit at the edge of the pool. "What you need to be worried about now is what we're going to do to you~" one male states with a wicked grin. "Now, Jaemin, he might think we mean to slaughter him,, no that wouldn't be nearly as fun," the one who must be named Jeno speaks and Renjun desperately pulls at his stuck limbs to free himself, to no avail. "Release me and I'll leave! I won't take the treasure I promise!" Renjun pleads but Jaemin shakes his head, smirking devilishly "It's too late for that, thief! We have you were we want you now, you'll receive your punishment!"

Jeno stands, circling the small pool to sit at its other side. His hands outstretch, far longer than any human's hands could, to slowly unbutton Renjun's shirt until all of the button's were undone. "What a-are you doing?" Renjun asks and Jaemin grins as he reaches his own hand out, scratching his claw-like fingernails against Renjun's bare foot, making his body twitch and a giggle leave his mouth. "Tell me, explorer, you're not ticklish, are you?~" Jaemin coos as both his hands reach out to dance his claws against Renjun's bare soles. "Pfft- nOhohohoho! P-Plehehehehease aahahaanything but thahahat!" the restrained male squeaks, falling into cute laughter almost immediately. "My, my, it appears he is ticklish, Jaemin, I wonder where else he could be sensitive? Perhaps here?~" Renjun hears Jeno tease and his eyes squeeze shut as he helplessly laughs,, feeling a different sensation against his smooth underarms. "n-nAhaha! Nohohohoho nohohot thehehere! Hohohohow are your fihihihingers sohohoho sohohoft?" Renjun asks and Jeno smiles "We're shifters, yeah?~ I just thought you might enjoy my feather fingers~" the deeper-voiced shifter taunts, wiggling said fingers before Renjun's eyes. They were feathered,, it reminded the explorer of the exotic birds he had seen in the stretch of forest before hand,, a mix of colours. He didn't get to enjoy the sight for long though, as Jeno had lowered his hands once more to continue feathering his underarms.

Renjun had been in situations before, but never like this. He'd been caught by angry animals that protected treasures, but he'd never been restrained and tickled. He had almost been killed and eaten, but this was somehow an entirely worse experience. Having these two shifters explore and squeeze his skin ticklishly and tease him for every noise that left his lips. He couldn't bare it for long. "plehehehehehease! Plehehheeease leheheheet me goho!" Renjun continues to plead as Jaemin now squeezes his knees and Jeno attacks his stomach with those feathered fingertips. It appears the two males were enjoying his ticklish suffering, as they both held pretty big grins. "Awh~ such a ticklish little thing, aren't you?~" Jaemin coos as he trails both his index fingers up Renjun's arches. "I bet he regrets trying to steal from the goddess now~ don't you, giggles?~ coochie coo~" Jeno playfully adds as Renjun's head tilts to the side, his eyes still firmly shut as the laughter continues to pour out of him.

"You know, your laughter is very infectious, I just want to giggle alongside you, mister explorer, teehee~ ♫" Jaemin giggles as his fingers continue to travel all the way down his legs. The sound that leaves Renjun's mouth makes both shifters coo,, it's a high pitched squeal too adorable to ignore. "Awh!~ Jeno, he's so adorable!~ listen to that sweet, sweet laughter!~" Jaemin sings as he uses one hand to squeeze Renjun's knee and the other to tickle beneath his toes. "He is adorable, look at him trying to squirm away... poor thing... I almost feel bad~" Jeno chuckles as Renjun indeed tries to squirm his way free. He can't handle the tickling,, he can handle a fight but anything but tickles! "Wahahahahaha! N-Nohohohoho mohohohore!!" he begs again for what felt like the one hundredth time and he feels fingers still against him. "Humm.. it had been a while,, shall we stop and set him free?" Jeno asks his partner in crime genuinely and Jaemin hisses in thought. "Don't you want to come see how feather ticklish his feet are?~ ♫" The singsongy shifter asks mischievously and Jeno meets his eyes with a matching smile of mischief.

They quickly swap places and Renjun's torture begins again, although the two shifters are very vocal about how his laughter seems louder now that Jeno was feathering his toes. "Do you think he likes this more?" Jeno asks Jaemin nonchalantly as he swipes his feathered fingers along Renjun's toes and Jaemin snorts in response "Oh he surely does, listen to how cute his laughter is!~ tickle, tickle, thief!~ ♫" he muses as he scribbles his fingers down Renjun's stomach and then back up to his ribs. Renjun seriously was reconsidering his choices here, wondering whether he'd have been able to escape with the jewel had he not entered the water in the first place. His mind thinks back to who even gave him directions to this temple, he'd be sure to rip them a new one just as soon as he escapes these two's grasp.

Renjun notices that by the time they've had all the fun they want with him the sun was beginning to sink. It had probably been around noon when he had gotten stuck so they've been tickling and taunting him forever. When they both stop and finally stand, Renjun thinks they're going to release him. "Are you finally done? Can I leave? I promise I'll never return!" Renjun tells the two truthfully. The shifters glance at one another, having a nearly silent conversation between them. The explorer notices that the slimey substance holding him in place was loosening, and he was able to stand again but he still couldn't move enough to escape the pool. He was hopeful that the male's might even let him take the jewel, he had let them tickle him after all! Well... let wasn't quite the right word...

When they both glance back to him, Jaemin smiles "Actually, we have a better idea," he says, smile quickly becoming a smirk. "How about you stay here instead, we promise to take good care of you and that sensitive body of yours.." Jeno explains with a soft nod. Renjun shakes his head quickly and presses his lips together. "I can't! I have to get back home to get ready for my next expedition!" he tells the two and they glance at each other once more. "I don't think you understood... it wasn't a request, gigglebug~ ♫"

it turns out nobody heard much of Huang Renjun after that. Nothing but laughter anyway.
