#welp too lazy to hush them away

hand me the salt please

[turtletimewriting]

Okay I just cannot stop thinking about this! I have to get this out of my system as, for unknown reasons, I just don’t fancy writing it right this moment. I cannot stop thinking about one of the sides learning what tickling is.

I immediately thought back to oliviaischilling1204′s fic Teach Me How. Like just a part 2 about Remus deciding he wants to know just how these tickles feel! For some reason my brain has proper latched on to Remus learning tickles. 

Like I imagine it being a similar situation. They’re just all cosy in bed for a lazy day or maybe they just woke up. 

Remus suddenly lurches up with a manic grin and pounces on to Logan’s lap.

Logan without looking up from his book : Yes dear?

Remus: I wanna be tickled! I know you like it so much and it looks fun and surely I could know how to better tickle you if you tickle me!

Logan instantly blushing and stuttering.

He’s so used to keeping his interest to himself that any talk of tickling just gets to him immediately. Instant lee mood. 

But he has to be the ler.

Logan: Uh I-I mean... you m-may not like it? I will happily I mean Yeah. I don’t mind t-tic- doing that with you.

Remus: YES!

Logan:... do you want to get off my lap and I’ll sit on your lap?

Now Remus is super chill about this and is lying there with an expectant look. But this alone is super flustering for Logan. Look at his adorable boyfriend being all adorable asking for tickles so he can do his adorable giggles. 

BUT ALSO! Like Logan can’t do this! He’s too lee! Remus is just sitting there without even flinching or smiling or even shielding his tickly spots. 

What do you expect him to do! Just instantly start tickling! 

Logan starts gently tracing around Remus’ feet.

I love the idea of them starting with a spot that just isn’t ticklish on Remus so he’s instantly disappointed. 

Remus: Wait this is what tickling is like? This is nothing! Man you’re useless on your feet. You get all giggly and scrunchy. This only feels like a little tingly! Man you must be the most ticklish person al-

Logan- huSH YOUR MOUTH

Logan explains, again, that not everyone is the same and so he just must not be ticklish on his feet. So he turns and starts at his little ol’ belly. 

Remus then instantly perked up and tightened everything

Uh oh

Welp... that tickles.

Remus obviously starts giggling and he honestly tries with all his strength not to flinch but he ends up like holding hands with Logan.

Logan now just appreciates his gorgeous understanding boyfriend. What a doofus.

Remus: It’s kinda a lot but I can see why you like this! Like I want to run away but like it’s nice to laugh. It’s like a panic laugh! It’s new! Tickling’s fun! It just tickles! It’s like it’s own thing! Tickle... tickle

He said that all while violently giggling.

Logan is dying on the spot from the beauty of his boyfriend but also does he really need to keep repeating that word like he’s trying to tease himself!

I then also like the idea of him getting to a super tickly spot on Remus and him just exploding.

All signs of giggly happy exploring Remus disappears into him instantly begging for mercy.

Remus: OK! TICKLING IS A LOT! THIS TICKLES! OKAY THIS TICKLES! WAIT LO THIS TICKLES! LO! MERCY! PLEASE! IT TICKLES! I TAKE IT BACK! BEING TICKLED ISN’T EASY! LO!

Remus had been gloating this whole time how much of a baby Logan is for not being able to take tickling but now... he gets it. 

They end the session concluding that yep, tickling is weird! Remus isn’t as much of a lee, he doesn’t mind being tickled jokingly or tickle fights but he doesn’t think he’ll fully enjoy a tickle session like Logan.

taichi’s older now. in university already...

he gets a date with a cute boy.

autumn troupe decide to follows him from afar. what happens ?

*cracks knuckles* Oh I am going to have fun with this one.

Everyone can tell Taichi is gearing up for something, but he's being surprisingly tight-lipped about it. His dormmates catch him spacing out a lot, and he messes up more than usual during rehearsals. Banri calls him out on it after missing his cue for the third time that practice, but Taichi just smacks his cheeks, shakes his head, and puts on his game face, insisting he is fine. Omi and Izumi would be worried, if Taichi weren't also undeniably excited.... Which just makes the whole thing even more suspicious.

Banri calls a troupe meeting, sans Taichi, to discuss the issue. (Sakyo accuses him of just wanting to gossip.)

Juza: "It's prolly just a date."

Banri: "Pfft. Yeah right, no way he'd be able to keep his mouth shut if it were."

Juza: "Yeah? Wanna bet?"

Omi has to break them up, telling them all to just trust Taichi and let him be, and that puts an end to that. For the time being.

It's a rare, lazy Saturday and the whole troupe has the day off. They're all chilling in the lounge, casually reading or snacking or playing around on their phones. The atmosphere could almost be described as relaxing, except....

The nervous excitement is practcally radiating off Taichi. He sits on the couch, crossing and uncrossing his legs, fiddling with the zipper of his hoodie. His phone pings and he types away at it furiously just to stuff it back in his pocket and bury his face in a throw pillow. Sakyo's pretty sure he hears a muffled scream but decides not to acknowledge it.

Eventually, after another ping of his phone, Taichi leaps up and zips for the door, offering only a rushed "byeI'mheadingout" as explanation.

There's a pause. They all stare at the door with a mix of relief and apprehension. Whatever this is, it's at least finally happening and putting them out of their collective misery.

It lasts approximately thirty seconds before Banri is up and throwing a lazy peace sign over his shoulder as he too heads for the door. "Welp, deuces."

Juza: "Dude. What the fuck, are you following him?"

Banri: "What? You sayin' you aint curious?"

Omi: "Guys.... "

They all get roped into following, though Sakyo and Omi mostly for damage control.

Which brings them to their current state. Four fully grown men hiding behind a bush like a band of meddling hooligans straight out of a cheesy mystery cartoon.

Taichi waits outside a cafe across the street, alternating between tugging at his shirt and checking his phone a bit too often to play off as casual. The situation couldn't be more obvious.

Juza: "Pay up, Settsu."

Banri grumbles and fishes out a handful of yen.

They're bickering when Omi suddenly hushes them, and they look up to see Taichi's face positively glowing as someone approaches. (They can practcally see his tail wagging.) It's a guy.

Banri snatches the money right back with a sly grin. "You were sayin'?"

Sakyo: "Huh. Well I'll be damned."

No one notices Omi wipe away a proud tear. Taichi's come a long way in learning to love and accept himself.

They watch as the two exchange greetings too far away to hear. Taichi's blush is bright enough to see even from this distance, and he rubs his head bashfully before jumping to hold the door open for his date. The dude's not facing them, but Taichi's face turns an impossibly brighter shade of pink so he must've said something.

The group loses sight of them for a few moments before they blessedly pick a seat by the window. Taichi pulls out a chair for the other before taking his own. Omi aww's.

Banri: "Damn, Nanao's actually got some game."

Omi smacks his arm.

They watch them talk in silence for a few minutes, and almost grow bored of the muted conversation before Banri pipes up again. "Ya know, the dude's kinda cute."

Juza gives a grunt of vague affirmation. "Not bad."

Banri: "The fuck? Did you just agree with me??"

Juza: "Yeah? So what if I did?"

Omi: "Guys, shhh! You're going to get us caught."

Omi aww's approximately another 17 times throughout their mission.

Sakyo's just praying to the Powers That Be because why the fuck did he let them drag him into this. He gives up five minutes in and goes back to reading the novel he brought with him, only chiming in every once in a while to remind the youngsters to pipe down.

When Taichi's date leans in to kiss him on the cheek, Omi covers Juza and Banri's eyes. They gripe and try to pry his hands off, but Omi just quietly laughs and refuses to fill them in on what happened.

"Alright," Sakyo says, snapping his book shut, "I think that's enough."

Banri: "Aww c'mon, it was just gettin' good!"

Omi: "I'm with Sakyo. Let's let Taichi enjoy his date."

Banri grumbles something about "mom and dad," but agrees to call it quits.

(They end up hearing all about it anyway, as Taichi is physically unable to hold himself back from gushing about it when he gets home.)

BONUS:

Banri fucks up and lets slip some detail Taichi hadn't shared yet.

Taichi: "Ehh?? How'd you know he was taller than me??"

Juza, from the other side of the room: "Dammit, Settsu!"

ᴋᴇᴇʟᴇʏ ᴡʀɪᴛᴇs ᴛʜɪɴɢs → holy crap i haven’t written anything here since like                                         august of last year - welp, i am once again not feeling                                         too great so here - have this little one shot, that are                                         gonna be more frequent because i love these babes.

ᴡᴏʀᴅ ᴄᴏᴜɴᴛ → 1800

ᴄʜᴀʀᴀᴄᴛᴇʀs → tanaka matheson ( original character ), Q, jonathan archer,                        doctor phlox & porthos.

ᴘᴀɪʀɪɴɢs → hints of archer x ana.

ᴡᴀʀɴɪɴɢs → slight swearing.

                  “ I wonder which will get you killed faster,” Ana groaned slightly as she tried to push her body off the biobed, her muscles ached and her head started to pound with an oncoming headache. Arms gave out and she fell back against the rather uncomfortable mattress, which caused Ana to give another groan. “ Your loyalty or your stubbornness?” Her loyalty most likely, to each and every crew she served with, but her stubbornness always got her into trouble with almost everyone. Once her mind was fixed on something, there was no way you could get her to change it.

                       Q hadn’t exactly been able to find her easily while she was on the Enterprise ( the NX-01 version that is ), the Continuum apparently decided that they needed some time apart. They were getting too close and the Continuum were getting a little too concerned where this human and Q relationship was going. They seemed to not exactly be good for one another.

                        Ana winced, before she tried to again. The Lieutenant pushed herself up off the biobed again, this time to turn onto her side - her body screaming at her as she started to twist. She more worried about the fact that anyone could suddenly walk through the sickbay doors and hear them, see Q, who’s presence was hard to miss - but the omnipotent being only held a look of annoyance on his face, his powers suddenly seemed a little more than scary.

                         “ Oh my stubbornness for sure.” Ana gave a toothy grin, as her eyes slide shut slightly. Finally able to fall onto her side, hands coming to rest over her stomach and hip. There had been a hole there a little over three hours ago. Head resting against the pillow, Ana forgot that Q was even there until he spoke up again. Green eyes opened and found light blue narrowed down at her. She had never seen him so serious before.

                          “ Tanaka, I had to step in and SAVE you. Again. This can’t keep happening.” The Suliban were a shit of a race - they most certainly liked to target her more often than not, due to her relationship with the Captain. That little tidbit of information had seemed to leak through subspace somehow. But this time it felt different - like the mysterious man giving the Cabal orders had a specific agenda against her this time around.

                          “ I am grateful for that Q, you know I am. But you gotta wonder WHY the Continuum decided that we be separated?” His arms came to cross over his chest - the current uniform looked good on him. The dark blue really put more emphasis on his light blue eyes.

                         “ They had no idea what they were talking about.”  He sniffed and Ana let a lazy grin pull across her lips.

                          “ Of course you do. We get each other into trouble. You’re becoming too focused on one human.” The Continuum thought they had to watch over him when he hung around Janeway and Voyager - but Ana, the first human he ever really showed an interest in was something of a problem for the omnipotent beings.” That’s why they threw me across time and space. Closer to my own time and away from Voyager and you.” The Continuum wasn’t all full of pretentious assholes, most of them wanted to LOOK out for human kind - and not let them put themselves in unnecessary danger. Any more than usual.

                        Q wanted to say something more, his mouth opening and closing. But his eyes narrowed instead even more - before he pushed himself off the other bed, took a step and leaned over her. Pressing a kiss against Ana’s forehead, hands brushing her dark hair out of her face before he disappeared in a flash of white light and Ana stared, slightly stunned, at the spot he had just been.

                       Okay - that was a little weird. Ana was gonna call out to him but suddenly the sound of claws against the deck plating caught her attention. Ana’s eyes shifted downwards and her lips pulled into a genuine smile. “ Porthos !” She exclaimed as the beagle jumped upwards and rested his paws against the side of the bed. Ana moved her right hand over and petted the animal on the head. “ What are you doing here buddy?”

                      “ I thought he could give you some company.” Ana let her head tilt to the side ( causing her brown hair to fall around her face ) and her eyes met Jonathan’s. “ I know Phlox sometimes tends to ramble.”

                      Ana laughed and turned her attention back to Porthos, who seemed to be trying to hop UP onto the bed. Ana let green eyes fall back onto Archer’s, before he moved forward and picked up Porthos and resting him in front of Ana’s stomach. The beagle immediately found a spot and laid down.

                     “ Thanks Jon. He always does seem to cheer me up.” The Captain hummed, his hand moving from his dog to Ana’s head - fingers lightly stroking her hair.

                     “ How are you feeling?” He questioned, but Ana’s attention was solely on Porthos, hands running over his fur - trying to ignore the goosebumps that appeared on her arms whenever Jonathan’s skin came into contact with her forehead.

                    “ I’m fine.”

                    “ Lieutenant,” the tone was stern and Ana tilted her head backwards with a grin and almost a roll of her green eyes.

                    “ Okay - I feel like shit but at least my stomach doesn’t feel like it has a HOLE through the middle and my insides are gonna fall out.” The Australian corrected herself and Archer tried not to laugh at that, but. His hand moved away from her head ( Ana almost whining at the loss of contact. ) and sat on the bed that Q had just been occupying.

                    “ Phlox said there was no major or permanent damage but you’ll be sore for a couple of days.” Ana knew that, Phlox had been by an hour before to give her an update, she may be a midwife - but she was still Phlox’s nurse, she knew what all the big fancy words meant.

                   “ I know - no shifts for me. Bed rest and Porthos visits.” Ana replied, hands brushing at the dogs ears, who had moved positions and now had his chin resting on Ana’s hip.

                  “ Will you actually honour those orders this time?” Archer questioned, arms coming to cross over his chest. Ana scrunched her nose at him.

                 “ Yes - I will. Not everyday you’re kidnapped and tortured by a group of racialists that want you dead.” It was scary - they knew she was a time traveler, Silik knew she wasn’t from this time - or any future, but the past and he wanted to know how the hell she had got here and whether or not she was going to screw up their plans. Not that they reviled any of them to her ( which would have been rather handy. ) - hell even Daniels knew she was a traveler as well.

                He had cornered her almost the second day she was officially welcomed on board ( the Continuum was rather good at falsifying documentation. ) and told her that something about her was wrong. Ana had to play it dumb, asked him what the hell he was talking about - but unfortunately for her, she was given HIM as a roommate - rather strong coincidence.

               “ Ana, I am sorry,” Green eyes snapped back to Jonathan and brought her out of her thoughts. Daniels was dead and it was Silik who had the honours. They had tried to kill her as well - just in case she tried anything, but Malcolm and Chuck were her knights in blue armor. ( with a little bit of help from Q. )

               “ It’s not your fault.” she mumbled, eyes dropping to look at Porthos’ sleeping body. “ I was careless enough to wander from the group. I wasn’t paying attention.”

              “ I wasn’t either.” Ana smiled slightly. They could argue like this for hours, it was common for BOTH of them to have a rather pointless argument over who was right - or something else.

              “ Yeah - well, I’m alive and back home, with only a minor flesh wound.” Though lets not forget the three broken ribs, one broken hand, dislocated shoulder and bruised thigh. “ Thanks to my knights in shining armor.” She heard Jonathan chuckle when the doors to the Medbay opened. Porthos’ head lifted from Ana’s hip and he offered one small bark.

               “ Hey.” Archer scolded and the beagle whined softly, placing his head back down. “ Doctor.” Phlox came strolling back in with a crewman in tow. “ What happened?” Archer got off the biobed next to Ana and went to be a captain.

               The Australian let her hand rest on Porthos’ back, the soft warm fur and the way his body expanded every time he took a small breath caused her to be a little more relaxed. Ana shifted then, to lie on her back again. Wincing once more, Porthos gave a rather low grumpy growl, to which Ana snorted at. “ You’ll be fine.” she muttered. “ I’m the one with the flesh wound.” Before her eyes slid closed, and she tried to focus on what the others in the room were talking about.

                 Engineering wasn’t exactly a safe place for anyone to work. Second degree burns for the poor crewman, he’d have to stay over night nursing the wounds, but other wise he was okay. A little over tired but nothing serious.

                   “ And how’s our other patient doing?” Phlox questioned, Ana could hear the smile in his voice.

                    “ She says she’s fine, just a little sore, I think more than a few visits from Porthos will do Ana some good.” The Captain replied.

                     “ Her vitals do appear to have come up slightly, it’s fascinating how you humans can find comfort in something that isn’t medically proven to work.” Phlox had wandered closer to Ana’s biobed, standing at the end of it. 

                    “ Well, humans and canines have been together for centuries, just nature I guess.” They were using hushed tones as Archer moved to stand near the head of the biobed.

                    “ She will be fine in a couple of days, Captain.” Phlox sounded further away now. Ana felt Jonathan’s hand against her forehead again, brushing hair away from her eyes. A sigh escaped Ana’s lips. “ Nothing too damaged but then again I am not a psychologist.”

                    Lips were felt against her forehead and Ana tried to keep her heart from beating over time. “ You be good. I’ll Come back for you when it’s dinner time.” He must have been talking to Porthos, because the beagle replied with a small bark and Ana could feel his tail whacking against her arm. And that was the last thing that she could remember - before her mind shut off and she fell asleep.
