#fluffallamaful

karl is staying at the dteam house, the three of them are just chilling in the living room talking, and dream leans over to sap and hugs him all sweet. karl smiles at them, pats both their heads and lets it slip that “oh, sap loves being held like that, don’t you, handsome?” which immediately makes sapnap’s cheeks turn pink and makes him squirm in his seat, already flustered. and he whines at karl to not say that, bites his lip against a smile and turns away, but dream just hugs tighter and kisses his cheek gently

and then… karl and dream decide it’s a great time to talk about all the other stuff they know that makes sap flustered and blushy and adorable like that

and sap. is practically dying. he’s blushing brighter than the red throw blanket on the couch next to him, squirming and hiding his face as much as he’s able to, crowded in by both boys who are looming over him as they talk, and he THINKS he’ll survive this…

until they somehow end up talking about how ticklish he is, then the spots they both know, then the teases that work best on him, and sapnap is prepared to fall through the floor from how embarrassed and flustered he is in that moment

he tries to get them to stop, begs and pleads for them to just leave it alone, until karl– who is able to get sapnap to agree to anything– holds his face so gently, and goes, “c’mon, sweetheart, please? let us try it out?” and sap is appalled, because absolutely not, no, no way, but karl just smiles and goes “please?” and sap is just putty in his hands. he stares at karl, glances at dream, looks back to karl, and melts into dreams arms as he goes “okay :(“

and then they pull him in closer and take him apart so, so gently, trailing their fingers over every spot they both suggest, making the smaller boy squirm and giggle and lose himself in the laughter and the warmth that bloom in his chest from all the attention 🥰🥰

Sapnap loved his dads, obviously he went to them about different things but he loved them both so much. Skeppy was deemed the fun dad, the one he went to for games and energetic company. Bad was much softer, little more strict, he went to Bad for advice, when he was hurt, or just wanted some comfort or relaxed company. Sapnap usually destressed with Bad, just being around him made him feel better. After a particularly hard day Sapnap would trudge his way into the house, find his dad and just sit, Bad always caught on quickly. Today was no different, he had a stress filled day at Kinoko and didn't really want to go home, so he went to his dads' mansion. He found him in the kitchen, not really saying anything, just sitting on the couch.

"Oh! Sapnap, I didn't hear you come in! What are you doing here?" He just shrugged, curling up on the sofa, making himself as small as possible.

"Oh buddy! What's the matter? What happened?" Bad, once again, noticed immediately. He speed walked over and sat down next to him, wrapping him in a big warm hug. He gently rocked them back and forth, humming You Are My Sunshine, petting through his hair. Sapnap listened to his heartbeat, instantly feeling so much better, he let out a small sigh of satisfaction to let Bad know that was, in fact, what he needed. Bad pressed a sweet kiss to his forehead, rubbing his back.

"Rough day Bug?" Sapnap nodded from his comfortable place tucked in his chest, flinching slightly when he felt his claws trace the backs of his ribs.

"I am barely touching you~" He turned his face into his chest in embarrassment, twitching slightly but never actually moving away or pushing his hands. He giggled frantically, feeling his claws sliding lightly over his sides, tummy, and ears.

"You loved this as a baby, somethings never change huh cutie~" Bad cooed softly, praising him with little compliments and comparisons to when he was little, boosting his mood significantly. Even when he stopped he kept giggling, still feeling the claws on his skin.

"I'm not even tickling you anymore Munchkin~ it must be a ghost~ a little ghosty must tickling you now~" Sapnap’s nose scrunched up, smile bright, curling into his father.

so the assassin vs speed runner videos, the ones where if the runner looks at the assassin it has this lil laser that freezes the assassin????

I had this idea, I'm pretty sure rn it's lee!george and ler!dream, where george is the assassin, dream is the speedrunner, and when george gets too close, dream freezes him, and he pokes him while being his normal teasy self

Mark - who I have diagnosed with Golden Retriever energy - probably tried going "If you don't talk Ash it'll mean you're not my friend and you hate me. Do you hate me Ash? I thought you loved me :(" and Ash adores his friends so of course he'd break just to tell Mark that, even if it was a ploy. Mark is ecstatic every time it happens "HE LOVES ME GUYS!!! HE LOVES ME!!! :D"

Joe gives me the idea that he'd ask Ash things like "I'm heading out for coffee, do you want me to bring anything back for you?" "I've had a bad day, it would be really nice if someone hugged me and told me it would all be okay." "Ash, pls say something I miss your voice" And Ash would give in to Joe's needs because he is not missing out on Greg's coffee again, absolutely not. And Joe is a sweet guy, how could he not indulge him a little?

But of course it was Wilbur that found the cheat code. It was Wilbur who has a little brother that he loves to poke the sides of to make the boy yelp and swat at him. So, he uses this method on Ash, and is delighted to find that it makes the man squirm in place and grin, smacking at his hands as he tries to ignore the sparks shooting through his nervous system. Naturally Wilbur keeps poking until Ash bursts into laughter or gasps at him to cut it out

And so it begins; the boys have their usual tactics, but Wilbur has thrown a new one into the playing field and by god do they abuse it. Ash has had to cut so much footage from his vlogs of his bandmates getting that glint in their eyes and starting towards him like some kind of lion ready to pounce. The tickling is usually brought on by practices becoming dull and needing something to pick it back up, Ash refusing to talk and the boys wanting to hear their friend again, or when they're just seeking out to mess with someone. Ash doesn't really mind it the playful attacks, especially considering Mark probably gets sprung as much as he does. (That one clip of Wilbur and Mark oh my god, do you see where my mind is going-) I am hereby decreeing that Ash and Mark are the common lees of Lovejoy

*drops microphone*

...

*picks microphone back up cause I got more to say*

I refuse to believe there hasn't been a few instances where one of the boys will start a tickle barrage out of nowhere and it devolves into chaos immediately. For instance, in their secluded house for song writing? Tickle fight to help improve moods when they're stressed out or need a bit of fun. Band rehearsals when someone is dicking around and not being serious? Tickle the silliness out of them.
