okay i’m gonna write this from the perspective of you liking it/being in the community and him being your bf 🙂‍↕️

i think it’d already be in his character to tickle you sometimes? at least maybe early on in the relationship but due to his super sense he could basically feel how startled you were each time he did so he probably decided to lay off

little does he know all that nervousness and spikes in your heart-rate are due to how much you like it

actually telling him that you like it and explaining your feelings would be sooo hard because he’d be so EARNEST in his interest i’m crying he’d be nodding with a serious expression like he’s fr listeningggg

he’s accidentally making you more flustered because he finds it all so adorable so he can’t help the adoring, dimpled smile that he flashes you as you speak or the soft coo of that leaves his lips when he hears you say something especially sweet

he’s can’t help it!!! he thinks you’re so cute and this is especially cute

plus he also just loves making you laugh already so now that he has more excuses to do so he’s super happy about it

okay now. as a ler? he’s somehow very soft and gentle despite his crazy kryptonian strength, he’s ridiculously good at making you laugh yourself silly

if you’ve seen the movie you’ll see how he enjoys a back and forth and he can be pretty snarky himself so his teasing consists of observations and compliments mixed in with smug little jabs

“oh my gosh, you’re so ticklish here?? have you always been this ticklish??” (he’s gonna ask you this like every week because he can’t believe how sensitive you are)

“you’re adorable- did you just snort?! oho i have to get you to do that again.”

“y’know earlier? was that you were saying about my costume looking stupid again? nonono repeat it, what did you say?” and he’s grinning whilst wiggling his fingers under your arms so you literally can’t

“your cheeks are so warm, are you embarrassed? am i making you flustered?” he KNOWS damn well

i also think sometimes he doesn’t tease through words? like he’ll make cooing sounds or let out amused chuckles god it’s SO AWFUL

he doesn’t have a particularly favourite spot, any spot that makes you laugh the hardest or giggle the sweetest are usually his go to BUT. BUTTTT

that being said

i feel like he’s a fan of the ribs idk

something about pinning one of your hands above your head with ease while counting each one of your ribs as he gently rakes and wiggles his fingertips between the spaces until you’re throwing your head back in hysterics…. it appeals to him

he also rarely pins you too

any stray punch or kick from you feels like a feather to him so you can squirm and thrash however much you want because it doesn’t really make a difference to him

plus he thinks it’s cute to see you curl up and move this way and that to try and get away even though you don’t really want to

just looking at his face is enough to make the experience 10x more embarrassing because he looks SO FONDLY at you whilst reducing you to a giggly mess, the sheer amount of love in his eyes is ridiculous

he defo laughs with you

he finds laughter, especially yours, to be sooo contagious so he really can’t help himself

i also think he has a habit of kissing you whilst tickling you too

he lovessss peppering your face with kisses as well as kissing your lips and feeling the vibration of your giggles against them as he gently spiders his fingers across your stomach

and if kisses in ticklish areas get to you? yeah you’re doomed

he’s incessantly pressing his lips wherever he can reach now

humming & chuckling against the skin of your neck and abdomen as he showers you with featherlight kisses everywhere

he defo has a soft spot for pressing a long smooch to the area righttt behind and under your ear because he knows how badly it tickles

if you act out or be playfully rude to him to get tickles? yeah it’s so over.

he’s really good at fixing you with this amused, ‘oh really?’ look whenever you do

as soon as he quirks a brow up?? yeah it’s game over wrap it up he’s gonna get you

now.. i know i yapped a lot about him as a ler but i also think he’d be very cutesy as a lee

i think the cutest part is that he’s literally superman?? he has all this strength and power so for this to happen he has to let you do this to him

the imagery of clark’s hair being all disheveled as he tosses his head back while you skitter and dance your nails around his sides??

his cheeks the prettiest shade of pink as his eyes are closed and all scrunched up with laughter????

and despite all of this he’s staying so completely still for you?? just letting you do it while he cackles??

so charming it’s ridiculous

i know his laugh is super cute too and i can guarantee he snorts sorry

just seeing those dimples on full display like that would pretty much kill me i can’t even
