I think getting stuck under something with my legs and feet sticking out only for a ler to find me and tickle them while teasing and ignoring me would fix me

[thebest-medicine]

haha what if i gave you a foot massage but it turned into me sitting on your ankles and rubbing lotion on your feet and tickling them till you were begging to stop haha that’d be so crazy

[thebest-medicine]

idk I just think peppering little tickly kisses on a boy’s pudgy belly and hearing him giggle would fix me

Day 28: Massage

[read on AO3]

A/N: Perc’ahlia gang rise! They both seem the type to be ticklish but in denial about it and embarrassed. Revenge would be wicked.

Words: 480

Percy’s fingers work their way down along Vex’s shoulder blades, tending to the sore muscles. As he works out a particularly tense knot, she lets out a delighted little sigh of relief.

Smiling down at her, Percy leans in to kiss the skin along the back of her neck. It shudders under his lips, another small noise escaping her throat—this time —she quickly transforms it into a sound of pleasure. It’s a clever disguise, but one that Percy could see through any time with ease. 

“Ticklish there? Sorry.” 

“What? No, not at all, darling.”  

He leans back down to her neck; unlucky for Vex’ahlia, she can’t see the smirk on his face from her angle. 

She hears him take a deep breath, tries to turn to ask him what he’s doing, and then the room erupts with noise. Loudest of them all is Vex’s shriek of surprised laughter. There’s the thumping of squirming limbs against the mattress, the silly sound rippling out of Percival’s mouth and across the skin of her neck, the laugh he lets out a moment later when he pulls back and starts massaging again, pretending as though nothing happened.

“You little bastard!” Vex hisses, barely holding in a laugh. She turns, pushes him away, and he’s smiling wide as he falls next to her on the bed.

Percy turns to take her in—blushing and failing to hold back a smile. 

“‘Not at all’ ticklish, hmm?” He prods. “That seemed rather ticklish.” He skitters his fingers along the backs of her ribs.

“Not.” She digs in her heels, biting her lip to fight back a smile. Then, Vex’ahlia is on him, fingers wiggling deftly into his sides. 

Neither of them are fighting off their laughter now, Percival from the tickling nails climbing under his nightshirt and Vex from the high of turning the tables on him. 

“See how you fucking like it–” Percy hears her grumble before she’s ripping his shirt up and throwing the bottom of the fabric onto his chest and in his face. 

“NO–” He utters, pawing the shirt back away from his face just as she leans in to blow raspberry after raspberry on his stomach. 

Percy’s hands are tangled in her hair a moment later, his feet beating against the mattress as hers were just a minute earlier. He cries out a desperate laugh as she takes her time, fucks with him a bit longer, until he calls out. “Fuck, mercy! Please!” 

She relents, satisfied in her victory to make up for the prematurely ended massage. 

Percy heaves a few breaths. “Remind me never, ever to piss you off.”

“Better not even dream of it.”

She’s not sure she wants to push for him to get back to the massage tonight, though… despite what he may say, the temptation of revenge would be much too inviting, and she didn’t feel like taking any losses tonight.

What if I just pin your arms to your sides and use your own hair to tickle your ears and neck while you giggle and tell me how unfair it is (no seriously I want to do that it's sounds so cuteee)

[thebest-medicine]

Fun fact: you make the cutest and the most precious noises when you're tickled.

[thebest-medicine]

Back again with another tickle meme for y'all 😊

[thebest-medicine]

I want some lazy tickles.

Imagine being somewhere comfy, like your bed. Imagine being in some comfortable clothes, like pajamas. And imagine a day when you don't really have to do much.

Maybe the ler have you on their lap, or maybe you and your ler are cuddling each other. You could be watching one of those TV shows that you don't have to 100% focus on, or maybe you two are just enjoying each other's company, even the silence.

Imagine your ler slowly tracing their fingers on your spots as they hold onto you. Maybe they are gently tracing your sides, or maybe they're using one finger to give you back tickles. Maybe their fingers are doing a slow dance on your tummy, or they could be giving just a little bit of massage on your hip.

Sometimes your ler will tickle you with a little bit more intensity, because let's face it, your laughter is just so adorable. But besides the few surprises, the vibe would be very relaxing; it may even be enough to fall asleep together, with you and your ler intertwined together.

We all know that the thighs are ticklish BUT the back of the thighs though.... JACKPOT. So go try that spot out on a lee/switch

Day 26: Counting

Tickletober 2023 - Critical Role - C2 Mighty Nein - lee!Caleb

[see my other tickletober 2023 fics]

A/N: Jester loves to tease. Caleb flusters easily.

[read on AO3]

Words: 550

Caleb squirmed uselessly against the floor as Jester loomed over him, her weight tossed over his hips and her knees pinning his arms to his sides. His cheeks bloomed with the redness of a ripened tomato as he tried his best to close his eyes and block out Jester’s teasing. Her grin was wide as her fingers wiggled teasingly toward Caleb. 

“Jester- wait!” Caleb strained, eyes pleading up at her, the hint of a smile on his lips.

“Okay! Fiiiiive.” As she spoke, her wiggling finger descended in time with her countdown. 

“Fooouuuur.” She drew each number out, words laced with teasing and joy. 

A strangled whine came from beneath her.

“Threeeeee.” A dramatic pause as she sucked in a deep breath.

“Twooooo.” She was getting close to the material of his shirt now.

“No no no no- Jester- Jester please!” Caleb squirmed as far as he could from the encroaching fingers. He could barely fight off the anxious giggles bubbling up in his chest, a few slipped through. 

“What is it, you’re not ready yet?” She pulled her hands back a few inches. “Do we need to count down from a bigger number so you have time to get ready?” 

“No! Please- Jester!” 

“Ten.”

“Nein! Don’t!” 

Jester snorted at that. “Eight!” 

Caleb kicked feebly behind her, knowing there was not much of a chance of evading a tickly tiefling attack once Jester or Molly had their sights set. Best to just get it over with - if only Jester would just do that.

“Seven… Six… Five… Four…” Jester’s nails wiggled closer and closer as Caleb lost the battle with fighting off his smile. He squeezed his eyes shut, trying his best to tamper his giggles. Once his eyes were shut tight, a long few seconds passed without her saying anything else. 

Slowly, one of his eyes peaked open. Jester was beaming down at him, her eyebrows twisted into a faux-stern expression. “Are you paying attention? Do I need to start over at an even higher number so you can get ready?”

“Gods- Jester, don’t-” Caleb whined.

“Twenty-five.”

“Nehehein!”

“That’s not what comes next! It’s twenty-four! Don’t skip ahead!” 

Caleb whimpered through his anticipatory giggles. 

“Twenty-three… Twenty-two... Twenty-one... Twenty... Hey you know this next one! Nein-teen!”

Had he not been so high on adrenaline and anticipation, Caleb might have rolled his eyes at that. Or laughed - well, he still laughed. 

“Eighteen... Seventeen... Sixteen…”

“Nein- no no please- don’t count down- don’t count!”

Jester pouted, her hands drawing back to rest on her hips. “Well now you made me lose count again!” 

“Mein Gott- Jester, please!” 

“Do you want me to just start tickling you?” 

“Nein!” Caleb embarrassingly (see: adorably) squealed out in response. “I- I-”

“Well then I don’t know what you want me to do! You know how I draw all the time? My hands have to stay active! My fingers can only wait so long, they have to tickle!”

Caleb willed himself to melt through the floor. Instead, he just closed his eyes as a deflated whine came out of his throat. 

“How about we try again?” Jester grinned down at the blushing wizard. Her tail whipped side to side with excitement behind her. “Come on, open your eyes, I’ll start over-”

“Nein!”

“Hm. What are the parameters again?” 

“No damage, just totally incapacitate or get them to give up from just tickling.” Keyleth brainstormed with her half-elven friend.

“I have to say, if anything goes outside of pain… I think you’d have the upper hand yourself, dear.” Vex responded with a smirk. “Remind me to stay on your good side.” 

Keyleth snorted at that.

“One thing’s for sure. Vax would lose.” Vex continued. 

“What? Is he really that bad?” 

“Oh, he’s hopeless.”

“Hope you’re not talking about me, sister.” Vax cut in, his eyes rolling as he slid up next to a snickering Keyleth at the table with drinks in hand.

“I am in fact.” She gave him a dangerous grin. “And I think you would agree on this.” 

Vax scoffed, taking a sip of his ale. “On what?” 

“Keyleth and I were just discussing who would win—and in your case, who would lose, in a tickle fight amongst the lot of us.” 

Vax made a disbelieving sound. “I would not! Not before you!” 

Vex’s jaw dropped open dramatically. “What? Me?” Her hand flicked up dismissively. “I grew out of that ages ago.” 

Vax smirked. “Ha!” He leaned forward across the table. “Should we see about that?”

Vex’s eyes widened for a second, giving her away. She rolled them dismissively and turned back to her druid companion. “Alright, alright. So Keyleth, you’re a contender for most dangerous, who else?” 

“Oh, are you now?” Vax asked, his eyes flicking from his sister to her. In an instant, fingers were prickling up along her sides. 

Keyleth squeaked, jerking forward before collapsing onto the table with giggles. Her hands moved to cover Vax’s where they wiggled gently against her sides. “Ehehe- hey!”

“No, no. See, as much as I’d love to root for you, I don’t think all those useful spells will be much help if you can’t even get the words out.” Vax teased before looking back over at Vex. “Don’t think I’ve forgotten about you. Counting me out, already — I’m fast, remember?” Vax faked a lurch in her direction and got a satisfying flinch from his sister. He winked in his twin’s direction before continuing. “What about Percy, hmm?”

“Hmmm.” She replied.

As Vax kept talking, his hands drew away from Keyleth as she lightly smacked at his tickling fingers. “Ha, well, without a weapon I don’t know how much of a chance he would stand… it would be hard to convince him, but can’t have him accidentally blowing someone’s arm off if they find a good tickle spot, after all.”

“Does he even have one of those?” Keyleth asked, still laughing and swatting Vax as he moved to sit down next to her.

“A girl can’t kiss and tell, you know.” Vex winked at her.

“I think Pike could probably put up a good fight. Scanlan, though, I don’t know.” 

“You know what? He’d probably like it—never give up.” Vex shuddered with a laugh. 

“Is Grog even ticklish?”

“That sounds dangerous to test out. If he’s on your side, everyone else is fucked.” 

“Ha, true.” Keyleth wiped a tear of laughter from her eye. “Anyway, Pike would probably know.”

“I would probably know what?” Pike asked as she returned.

“If Grog is ticklish!” Keyleth asked with a laugh. “And what about you, for that matter?” 

Pike looked at the three of them. Vex and Vax had goofy, embarrassed smiles. She stumbled over the next few words. “Wh- me? Heh, ticklish?”

“Are you?” Vex’ahlia wiggled her fingers with a teasing tone as Pike got into her seat at the table.

Pike swatted her away with a chuckle. “Heh, maybe a little.” 

Vax raised an eyebrow at her. “What about Grog, any weak spots?”

She crossed her arms, glanced back at where Grog was carrying the rest of the ales for the group over. “Why do you want to know?” 

Keyleth and Vex jumped in to explain their drunken argument, dragging Pike right in. 

“Hm. I think it really depends on how ticklish everyone turns out to be…” Pike concluded eventually. “And luck.” 

Vax let out a little laugh at that. “We shall see one of these days, perhaps.” 

By the end of the evening, Grog, Scanlan, and Percy had joined the discussion, and eventually the stakes were explained to all. 

Percival dismissed the idea with a poorly hidden blush. Scanlan thought it was a hilarious and great idea they should settle, and Grog agreed. Keyleth was on board, along with Pike. The twins had enough of a competitive streak that neither was going to back down from the challenge.

A few days passed before the group found themselves somewhere isolated enough to put it to the test.

Vax flexed his fingers, taking a step closer to his sister with a gloating grin. “It’s hilarious that you think you can beat me, you and these other—”

“Oh is it, now?” Quick as a whip, just as he’d turned his gaze from her to their friends, Vex was on him, her fingers poised just above the top of his ribs. Vax jerked back with a small squirm, hitching in a breath. “Hmm, yeah I guess it is pretty funny.” Vex continued, starting to pinch on both sides. “Don’t you think so?” 

Vax pressed his arms down, only trapping his sister’s hands where they were. Still, despite it, they started wiggling their way higher. “No— fuck!” Vax wheezed in a desperate attempt not to let out a laugh. “St-Stubby, don’t!” 

“Oh, giving up already, then?” Vex grinned, reaching a finger into his armpit. “Where’s that confidence from a moment ago?” 

Vax let out a cut of yelp of laughter. He heaved an unsteady breath, then. “No.” He ground his teeth. 

Taking another step back, he used the motion to bring his arms forward and grab on to Vex’s forearms. Vax was starting to truly lose his battle to hold in more giggles as his focus shifted to trying to pry his sister’s devilish fingers away. 

A struggle ensued, one that was rooted in a deeply familiar ritual to the both of them — a silly power play full of teasing and laughter and wobbling smiles. Vax managed to pry one arm away, but the other snuck fully under his arm where his sister’s nails were doing some deadly, dexterous work. He shouldered sideways with a cackle, prying at the attacking arm and finally, finally getting an opening to pull it away. He breathed heavily as they locked eyes, Vex’ahlia’s thrumming with mischief. Fleeing to regroup his thoughts and strategize may be his best option, he couldn’t plan or counter anything if he was stuck laughing his head off, he thought. 

They braced against each other, each struggling to counter the other’s strength and movement. Vax quickly brought out his wings to make a quick getaway, when Vex’s eyes flicked to them with a flash of fear. Vax caught on almost instantly, and with a grin he brought one wing forward to flick at her neck and ear. 

She flailed back, but he still held her forearms. She scrunched up to the side with a growl. “You assface!” She made a playful bite for the wing when it brushed over her ear again. “Stahahop!” 

“What! I thought you said it was funny!” Vax snapped back at her, bemused. Now he brought the other wing in to do the same. 

“Oh, we’re using magic now?” Keyleth’s voice cut in with a cheery confidence. 

Another step back to steady himself, a fatal mistake on Vax’s part, he realized as he tripped over a vine. He had the grace to not fall fully onto his ass. It didn’t take Vex more than that to push her advantage, though, and she knocked him onto it anyway.

Vines shot up from the ground around him, ensnaring his arms and legs and wrapping around his torso before pulling back down, down toward the grassy earth below. 

A few more seconds, and he was trapped, arms and legs held out to the sides. “Kiki— please!” Vax implored, his eyes wide and batting at her.

She shook her head with a delighted smile, hopping over and finding a spot nearby his hip to sit. 

“Traitor…” He mumbled. 

Vex’s hands were the first to touch down, pinching along the backs of his ribs down his side. Vax let out a frustrated yell and started to protest before falling into bubbly laughter, just as Keyleth’s hand touched down to squeeze just above his knee. 

“Dahahahahammit— nohohoho!” Vax cried, grinning wide through his laughter. 

Percy waved the others over and started tugging off one of Vax’s boots — who kicked at both him and the vines in protest. In a quick exchange without words, Percy notified their druid that a few of the pesky (though useful) vines were in the way, and she shrank them away with a flick of her wrist. 

“Nohohoho— this isn’t a fihihihihight! Hahahahow is this fahahair!?” Vax protested. 

“But your wings were fair?” Vex said right back as Scanlan sat down at Vax’s other foot and began to copy Percy’s actions.

“Y-you sahahahaid ahahahanything goes!” Vax cried out, meanwhile Pike and Grog made their way to the side opposite Vex. 

“Well, I suppose I did.”

Grog grabbed Vax’s wrist and pulled his arm up even tighter so he could barely struggle; while he protested the whole way, there wasn’t much he could do besides that. When tiny and large fingers touched down near his outstretched armpit, Vax yelped. His head shook violently. Scanlan managed to get his other boot off just as Percy had started scratching at the arch of his other foot. Keyleth and Vex were continuing their deadly pinching and prodding — they weren’t even going after him that badly, or at the spots they knew were truly the worst, but it was so many hands, so many places, all at once. It was hard to think, hard to do anything other than laugh.

“I gihihihive— oh gohohohods stahahahop!” 

“Aaaaaaand we have our first one down!” Keyleth announced triumphantly as everyone, thankfully, stopped. 

“Fucking monsters, all of you.” Vax panted, his head falling back. His forehead was beaded with sweat, and there was a flush high on his cheeks. “That’s not a fucking fair way to.. you can’t just all team up!” 

“Maybe we need to rethink this a little, he is kind of right…” Keyleth put a finger to her lip. “Hmm.” 

“Sounds like you’re just a sore loser.” Vex teased. 

Vax sat up and pulled on his boots, brushing the excess dirt and leaves off of himself. He tried to glare at them all but couldn’t put away the wide smile just yet. “Whatever, you’d have tapped out long before me.” He stuck his tongue out at his sister, who glowered at him in response. 

“That’s it! We could see who can last the longest without giving up instead!” Keyleth looked to everyone with a grin. 

Vex and the rest looked nervously at one another. Vax wore a prideful grin. “Sounds great to me, none of you would—”

“Well, technically we don’t know how long that was, we’ll have to figure out a timer and then you’ll have to go again.” 

“What?” Vax blanched.

“It’s all in the name of fairness, dear brother!”
