"Noho! Stay away papaha!" Screamed the pinkette.

The day had gone on as normal, Loid struggling to get Anya to study, per usual. Unfortunately for him, he wasn't the 'fun' type, his studying tactics bland for the little girls tastes, so it was obvious why she's complain about this type of work.

Well, that was until Loid had accidentally found out about the great Anya's weakness. He was fed up with her attitude and went to pick her up, only for her to move out the way and get her side squeezes just enough to make the young one shriek. With this newfound information, he decided it'd be the best way to tire her into studying.. that was until it became a complete game of cat and mouse. Embarrassingly enough, the spy found this.. fun? Is that the word? He didn't know, right now that didn't matter, what mattered was catching this troublesome child and getting her into her studies.

With a wrong turn, she had slipped and skid her knee slightly, making her well up with tears, seeing this, Loid's father side came into play as he pulled her into his lap, investigating the knee to see how bad it was (even though they both were overreacting now).

"P-Papa." Whined the smaller, a singular tear streaming down her face, followed suit with a few more, the sight of seeing her hurt physically and mentally hurting him just as much, if not, maybe even worse. "Hey, it's okay, how about I put a bandage on-"

"Can you kiss it better?"

What? What type of question is that? Is she stu- no, she's a child, she doesn't know any better. Loid refused to stoop down any lower, holding up what little pride he is by closing his eye's, "Anya, I can't do- that.." he peeked and eye open, and he instantly regretted it. She looked at him with puppy dog eye's, her bottom lip sticking out, along with sniffles here and there from her crying, ugh.. maybe it wouldn't hurt, he supposed.

"If I kiss it better, will you study?" He asked, not surprised when she shook her head. He sighed and smirked, mischief sparkling in him like never before, "Fine then, I guess the tickle monster will take his toll on you." He wiggled his finger's, his heart tugging at every angle seeing her squeal and squirm in place, her once crackling voice from crying now filled with playful excitement.

And with a new goal in mind, his finger's descended onto her tummy, the corners of his mouth tugging wider as he heard the excited laughter escape her lips, gosh how was she so adorable!?

"EEP! Pa-Pahahahapa! Nohoho! Bahad pahahapa! Bahad!" She playfully scolded, making him snicker slightly, "Oh, I'm the bad one now? Sorry agent Anya, but I've got to put you in your place." He then growled, acting like a 'monster' as he blew a raspberry against her tummy, "AHA! WAHAIT! MAHAHAMA! MAHAMA HEHELP!" She reached out, "Mama won't save you- WOAH-!" Loid squawked as he found himself pinned against the ground. He was so caught up in his game that he didn't even notice Yor came home early.

"Sorry, but.. I have to save agent Anya! It's my duty!" Yor played along. Loid had tried to get up but found himself completely stuck, how much strength did she have!? Yor couldn't helo but pay attention to Anya almost immediately, "Oh my, Anya, you're hurt!" Yor said, worried from the skidded knee. "Papa did it." Anya lied, that damn child! How dare she-

"Eh!? I did not- no!" Loid found himself squirming slightly as he felt Yor scribble against his side, "How rude of you! And while I wasn't around to protect her either?" She playfully scoffed offense, though Loid couldn't help but still be offended. "A punishment must be in order." Yor demanded, now sitting herself comfortable against his lower back, nails skittering against his clothed side's with relative ease, even though he had extra protection and immaculate endurance, he couldn't help himself but feel this get to him rather quickly. He puffed out random splurts of giggles here and there as Yor kept being persistent with the tickling.

What he didn't expect was for Anya to poke at his socked foot, the newly targeted spot making ot even more difficult to hold in, Anya and Yor exchanged glances before smirking down at Loid, making him buck as Yor massaged her palms against the back of his ribs, whilst Anya sat down and scribbled her tiny hands over his foot. If he weren't trained in endurance, he'd be at their mercy right now, yet here he was cackling boisterously into his sleeves, his body quivering from the tingly sensations, ghost tickles making their way up to his stomach and fluttering there like a heap of butterflies with feather like appendages.

"Kitchi-kitchi-koo, honey~" Yor's confidence came in, leaning down and whispering into his ear, making him snort and scrunch up his shoulder's to cover his ear's. "What's wrong? Does this not.. tickle your fancy?" She'd give him an obviously rhetorical question, yet with his state right now, he didn't realize, "Y-YohoHOu ahARE!" He squealed into his sleeves once again, ugh, if Anya weren't behind him right now, he'd be slamming his feet into the ground to try and reduce the ticklish sensations just the slightest bit.

"If it really doesn't tickle, how about you try and het up right now?" She challenged, keeping at her spot. Loid took this literally as he used his forearms to boost him up, only to snort and flop back down when she scribbled into his pits each time he attempted to get up. "KYAHAH! Y-Yo-YOHOR! NOHO! Wahahait, thiHIHIS IHI'sn't fahAhAIr!" His attempts became futile as he just gave in, curling inwards ever so slightly, snorting and squealing each time she'd come back up to scribble under his arm's, before returning to massaging at the back of his ribs.

As his laughter became wheezy and crackled, that's when Yor stopped, "Anya, his had eniugh sweetheart!" She smiled sweetly at the pinkette, the young girl stopping and walking up to pat Loid on the head, "Want to get him a cup of water? He deserves it." Yor said, Anya immediately going off to get that cup of water.

"Sorry if I took it too far!" Yor immediately changed back, her cheeks dusted a bright pink as she muttered apologies, "I'm super sorry, I was just in the moment an-mmph?" Her cheeks couldn't get any redder, her speech cut short when Loid gave her a gentle kiss, his cheeks flushed and his breathing still unsteady along with some random giggles here and there from the tickle attack before. "You're okay, if anything, I, eh.. en-enjoyed it?" He said, making Yor look as if she passed away, "HUH? YOR ARE YO-" "AAA YOU'RE SO CUTE!" She hugged him, smothering his face with kisses, making him chuckle, blush and smile widely, enjoying the affection.

"Mama and papa are flirting."

"ANYA!"

i have such a hard time picking his tickle spots bc im a firm believer that he's at least a little tickly everywhere

IF I HAD TO PICK THO he's very tickly on his ribs, underarms, hips, and sides

he's also tickly on his neck and shoulders but those are his huffy giggle spots and those are EQUALLY as cute I'm in love

Dazai messes with him all the damn time with tickles and Kunikida hates it bc Dazai is really good at tickling and Kunikida cannot handle it

Dazai will tickle him in the worst situations too, like when he's writing something down or doing something else that's important

One time Kunikida held the door open for Dazai and Atsushi like a gentleman and Dazai jabbed him and he folded like a lawn chair he was so pissed and then Dazai just ran off

The other people in the office tickle Kunikida occasionally as well, but not like Dazai where it's planned

Sometimes Yosano will just rub his shoulder when shes walking by but she'll do it in a tickly way and he shudders

Ranpo will tickle him if he wants something like candy or whatever his heart happens to want at any given time but Kunikida will normally get him what he wants before the tickling happens lol

Atsushi and Tanizaki tend to stay away from Kunikida because they fear the backlash of tickling him

They've seen Dazai get got after tickling Kunikida... they are just a little scared now LOL

Kunikida can be a pretty intense ler mostly bc when he tickles someone its bc he's pissed off at them (more specifically, Dazai)

He doesn't normally tickle people tho, it's mostly Dazai that he tickles and it's only when Dazai's just been nonstop

He knows Dazai's spots and he'll take advantage of that and wait for the perfect time before he goes ham

(forgive me for some self-indulgent reader insert headcanons incoming)

When he's with a S/O, he's actually really sweet with tickles

He doesn't mind being tickled when it's his S/O, mostly bc he trusts them with his entire heart (SOBS)

He's a very gentle ler with his S/O as well, like he'll always ask beforehand and he never pushes them

Sometimes tho he won't ask but that's just bc he thinks that his S/O is being a little bit silly or something and he just nabs them and tickles them a bit

His laugh is normally pretty loud and surprised if it's someone like Dazai tickling him bc he's not expecting it, but when his S/O is tickling him he's a bit quieter

That said if they tickle him bad enough he will get loud bc he's a bit dramatic with tickling but he'll be fine dw

His laugh is mostly giggly and he huffs a lot when he's being tickled, but sometimes he'll also whine a bit?? is that the right word idk but he's very cute either way

When he's in a relationship he's very sweet, he always makes sure that his S/O is taken care of and comfortable

He is 100% the kind of guy that if he gets like a bonus from work or something he'll spend it all on his S/O bc he loves them

He also does the budgeting in the household so he makes sure there's always a little bit set aside for gifts or fancy dinners whenever he feels like his S/O needs a little pampering

He's not super physically affectionate, which is why tickling is kind of nice because he can let loose a little bit

Also when I say he's not super physically affectionate I mostly mean in public lol he's not a PDA guy

But when it's just him and his S/O he can get kind of clingy

he'll hold their hand, hug them from behind, bury his head in their neck or chest when he's cuddling he's just a big softie when he's not around other people

He's normally very regimented with how he holds himself but he feels so comfortable around the person he loves that he's just totally willing to let his guard down

what is their laugh like? - he doesn't laugh often, and when he does, it's usually humorless scoffs or quick chuckles. if he's tipsy and jesper makes a particularly funny joke, you can get a laugh out of him, and it'll be this deep, rugged sort of sound, gravelly like his voice always is. but when he gets tickled??? he becomes a giggler. his voice goes up an octave and he has no control over the sounds he's making. it's adorable.

do they enjoy tickling? if yes, is it a fun platonic/familial thing, or kinky thing to them, or can it be both depending on the circumstance? - before he starts to get better with the whole touching people thing? the idea of tickling as a concept is enough to make his stomach hurt. he thought he would despise feeling helpless under another person's hand. but as he gets more comfortable with affection, and closer with the other crows, he realizes that it...doesn't suck as much as he thought. he still pretends to absolutely loathe it. it was definitely a familial thing when he was little, his brother tickled him all the time, but i can see him as an adult enjoying it in a romantic or even kinky fashion with inej, because i feel like he feels completely safe with her and likes submitting to her 👀

are they more often a lee or ler, generally? - neither, at first. he stays completely away from the playful pokes for a long time. then, he becomes almost exclusively a lee when he allows the physical contact. it's always quick, over the clothes, and in private, but specifically jesper and inej love to tickle him. eventually, i think he'd get comfortable being more of a ler, leaving him at a 60% lee, 40% ler sort of ratio.

who is someone in their life that they tickle often? - inej, but he's very careful about it. she hates feeling helpless even more than him, and he never wants to freak her out. he really likes braiding her hair and "accidentally" running his fingers over her neck to make her giggle, or softly squeezing her knees, even though she kicks

who is someone in their life that they get tickled by often? - when he was a kid, jordie tickled him all the time. now, jesper and inej are really the only person who would dare to try it. partially because no one wants to cross his boundaries, partially because he is Scary.

does the word “tickle” or any variation of embarrass them? - i don't think so, unless it's being directed at him, then he gets a little flustered (threatening to tickle him or talking about his sensitivity)

are they embarrassed about their ticklishness, and do they try to deny/hide it? - embarrassed isn't really the right word...he knows that it's just a human thing, that he can't really help it, but he does guard that secret very well. he has a reputation to uphold, after all. if people knew how easily the bastard of the barrel could be reduced to a giggly mess, he'd be DONE FOR, lol. soooo, he'd deny and hide it very seriously.

would gentle tickling or rough tickling affect them more? - gentle, for sure. he's used to roughness, violence, but gentleness totally wrecks him.

is there a specific spot that they enjoy being tickled, either exclusively or more than other spots? what is it? - he likes having his back tickled a lot, especially when he and inej start being able to share a bed and she does it to make him all giggly and boneless and sleepy<3333

is there a spot that they can’t stand to be tickled, either because it’s just too sensitive, or it’s uncomfortable/painful/etc? what is it? - his bad leg is just a big no-touching spot for him in general, otherwise he's alright with it. he does just prefer to be touched over his clothes in general.

would they ever purposefully bug a friend/partner/sibling into tickling them, and if so, how would they go about it? - hot take but i feel like he would...kaz is horrible at verbalizing his feelings, his desires, and if he ever was craving physical affection, he wouldn't have the first idea of how to make that known. plus, he would rather hit himself over the head with his cane than just ask for it. so i think he would either just be particularly snarky/sarcastic, or with inej, i think he'd tickle her first so that she'll do it back.
