Ship: Dillinjer (Michael is in it too tho)
Prompt: Michael is âhelpingâ Jeremy to get Jake to like him
AN: I AM INCAPABLE OF WRITING SHORT FICS IM SO SORRY
âHeâs never gonna like me!â Jeremy said with a sigh and fell back against the bean bag. He had had a crush on Jake Dillinger for the longest time now, and Michael was his wingman.
âAw come on, youâre adorable, who wouldnât like you?â Michael teased and playfully poked Jeremy. Jeremy groaned and rolled over facing away from Michael.
âHeâs probably into big and strong boys with six packs and big biceps and-â
âHey, itâs okay Jer. Just because thatâs what heâs like doesn't mean thatâs the type of person heâs into. Who knows, maybe youâre exactly his type!â Michael reassured.
âI doubt that..â Jeremy mumbled and picked up his controller.
âHey, youâre like the cutest person ever. Heâs gotta like you. We just have to show him that!â Michael said and picked up his controller too, resuming Apocalypse of the Damned. Jeremy blushed at the compliment.
With enough convincing, Michael had asked Jake to hang out with him and Jeremy a bit later, in hopes of getting Jake to like Jeremy. The three of them were just sitting on the couch talking, relatively bored. Every now and then Michael would try and compliment Jeremy hoping that Jake would notice, such as say âhey Jeremy, your hair looks so great today!â or âJeremy did you get abs?â. Unfortunately, Jeremy would just mumble in embarrassment, causing Jake to laugh awkwardly. Michael would also tease Jeremy every now and then just for his own entertainment. It was for his own good though, as Jeremy was ten times cuter when he was flustered, Michael thought.
âHey Jake, did you know Jeremy has a stuffed dolphin that he sleeps with every night?â He teased.
âMICHAEL- '' Jeremy said quickly and turned towards Michael who was laughing his ass off. Jeremy was too embarrassed to defend himself so he just waited for Jake to talk.
âHeh, thatâs kinda cute.â Jake said. Jeremy and Michael exchanged glances briefly and Jeremy squealed quietly in excitement at the word âcuteâ.
Michael reached over Jeremy to grab the remote, but accidentally poked his side. Jeremy let out a small yelp and covered his mouth quickly hoping Jake hadnât noticed. Luckily he didnât, but unfortunately, Michael did. He had an evil idea. Jeremy looked at Michael for a second and mouthed âdonât you dareâ. He knew it was too late though.
âIf you think thatâs cute, you should see how ticklish Jeremy is!â Michael said to Jake and suddenly pinned Jeremy down on the couch. Jeremyâs eyes widened in fear and his face turned beet red. Michael was so mean when he wanted to be.
âM-Michael wahahait I will kill you-â Jeremy said with pleading eyes, although he wasnât intimidating at all. Jeremy wasnât just ticklish. He was the most ticklish person Michael had ever met. In fact, most people are surprised as to how ticklish he is. If Michael actually went through with this, there would be no hope in Jake liking him- or thatâs what Jeremy thought. Michael had a different perspective, and thought of it as he was trying to help Jeremy out by showing how cute he was.
Jake chuckled slightly, not too amused as he sat back slightly on the couch. âHey, donât kill him, I want him to show me this dolphin of his.â Jake teased, making Jeremyâs face turn ever more red.
âDonât worry, you will.â Michael said before digging his fingers into Jeremyâs underarms. Jeremyâs arms shot down by instinct as he shrieked loud enough to startle Jake.
âHeâs so ticklish as you can probably tell, and I take advantage of this all the time.â Michael explained to Jake. Jake looked at them and smiled, slightly confused but also pretty entertained.
âIf heâs ever being annoying or anything, just know that he has this as a weakness!â Michael said as he switched to digging his fingers into Jeremyâs ribs and stomach. Jeremy was a mess. He was in absolute hysterics and Michael just started. Not to mention he was so embarrassed, he wanted to get up and run away from the humiliation. However Michael did a good job at keeping him pinned so this was hard.
âMICHAEL WAIT THIS IS MEAHEAHEAN!â Jeremy shrieked, his arms trying to bat away Michaelâs hands, although he kept failing.
âHow is this mean? Iâm just tickling you!â Michael teased and lightly squeezed Jeremyâs knee cap, sending the smaller boy into hysterics. Jeremy reached his hand down to try and cover his knee, but felt a hand on his wrist. He thought it was Michaelâs, but shockingly, it was Jakeâs.
âMind if I help you out Michael?â Jake smirked and held both of Jeremyâs wrists above his head with his iron grip. Michael looked at Jake with an evil grin and kept tickling Jeremy.
âNot at all Jake, go ahead!â
âSHIHIHIHIHIT-â Jeremy squealed. With Jakeâs strength and Micahelâs tickling, Jeremy knew he was toast. This was the most embarrassed he had felt in a long time. He felt so small right now, and so helpless. Michael moved his hands quickly between Jeremyâs armpits and his sides, squeezing lightly at his skin. Jeremy tried to move his arms down, but he couldnât as Jakeâs grip was too strong. Michael gave Jake a look telling him to stop, as he felt like Jeremy had had enough. Jake let go of Jeremyâs wrist. He immediately shot them down to protect his sides and stomach from Michaelâs hands.
âP..pleaheasee!â He pleaded weakly as he rolled over on the couch. Michael then stopped too and helped Jeremy up.
âHow is it even possible for someone to be so ticklish~?â Michael teased and ruffled his hair. Jeremyâs face was bright red and his hair was messy from rolling around. He couldnât stop giggling from the torture. He hugged onto Michael and giggled into his hoodie, not wanting to look at Jake as he didnât want to embarrass himself any more.
âWho knows. Itâs pretty cute though,â Jake admitted. Michael lifted up Jeremyâs head and gave him a look when Jake said âcuteâ again. Jeremy looked at Michael happily and back at Jake. He found it hard to admit, but maybe he was glad that Michael had tickled him right then.
