"Clark Kent, Daily Planet staff writer and long time collaborator of Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, Lois Lane, has recently caught media attention after his two left feet got him into yet another public fumble. Kent, as pictured in the image below, managed to knock over a 17-story champagne tower at a recent Wayne Foundation Gala, and internet users were quick to label the event '#ChampagneGate.'" The grin on Bruce's face as he read the article from his phone could only be described as impish, his eyes glistened with mischief as he watched Clark's face deepen into a dark blush.
"Bruce," Clark warned, his voice a low rumble. He shot Bruce a glare that lost all of its heat when he immediately had to avert his eyes, embarrassment making his face redder and redder the more he looked in Bruce's direction.
"Other words of interest used in the article include 'bumbling,' 'ditsy,' and 'endearingly incapable'." Bruce smiled, trying hard not to give into the embarrassed puppy eyes that Clark was sending his way. "I am, unfortunately, quite endeared by you, so I've got to agree with that one, but don't you think the dorky, clumsy reporter thing has gone a little too far?"
"Whatever, playboy," Clark groaned, bringing his hands up to cover his face, "don't pretend like it wasn't your fault."
"My fault?" Bruce scoffed, "it's not my fault you're ticklish. How was I supposed to know you'd take it out on my poor champagne tower?"
Clark couldn't see it, but he could absolutely hear the shit-eating grin on Bruce's face. He was done feeling mortified for one night. "Well," Clark said, his own playfulness coming out. He turned around on the bed, face still tinged red, developing a predatory grin of his own "I think now you’re just asking for it.”

Summary: Selina stops by Wayne manor to spend some time with her favorite grumpy bat during the holidays, except he’s overworking himself at the batcave. Selina will get him to relax one way or another.
Word count: 647
Also on ao3
____________________________________
Selina slid into Wayne manor, escaping from the harsh cold that clouded the city. She couldn’t help but let out a content sigh as the warmth of the manor seeped into her skin, the sounds of the bat kids arguing and goofing around in the distance making her feel right at home. Of course, she came to see her favorite grumpy bat. It was the holidays, after all. Surely Bruce could spare some time to do anything else that isn’t working.
…
In all the years that Selina has known Bruce, she’d say that she knows him pretty well, so she wasn’t surprised when she saw the stoic man all hunched over the bat computer. The clacking sound of the keyboard being the only thing that resonated in the cave. Catwoman made her way swiftly over to him. She glanced over his shoulder, peeking at what he was working on. “Seriously, Bruce? Can’t you put the Joker search to rest for a moment? He hasn’t done anything in a while.”
“Yet” Bruce intervened, all typing coming to a halt. “I know he’s planning something, I’m just not sure what… but I must be ready for any and all possibilities.”
A small frown formed on Selina’s lips. She gently rested her hand on Bruce’s shoulder. “I understand how worried you are, but you can’t let the worry consume you, Bruce. It’s not healthy.”
She heard a tired sigh fall from the taller man and started to rub his shoulders with both hands, watching as the dark knight involuntarily relaxed under his touch. “I know that, I just… I can’t let it go.”
“Then let me help.” Suddenly, a teasing smirk stretched its way across Catwoman’s face. “And I know just how to do so~”
Bruce didn’t even get a moment to react when Selina pressed her thumbs into the sensitive sides of his neck. He managed to bite back a startled yelp, coming out more like a grunt. His torso went rigid, a bit too rigid. She had him right where she wanted him. “You know I won’t stop until I get what I want, Bruce~” she whispered teasingly against the shell of his ear, watching how the skin glowed red and goosebumps rose. Her cat-like nails traced over the sensitive skin of his neck, going up to his ears.
For someone who goes by Batman, he sure acts like a disgruntled cat when tickled, Selina thought. Watching as her lover scrunched up his neck as a pathetic means to protect himself. His lips twisted into a begrudging smile, stubbornly preventing himself from letting out a single sound. That wasn’t going to cut it.
Once she got him all worked up, her hands darted down to squeeze at the unprotected skin of his sides, and that’s when the dam broke. “N-No! Cut it oHOHout!” Batman howled, cheeks flushed bright red in embarrassment as the rare sounds of joy got forced out of his throat.
He squirmed and blindly swatted from his position, any sense of coordination having gone right out the window. To think that someone so skilled in fighting could lose all sense of preservation from just a bit of tickling is quite comedic. You could consider it part of his charm. Once his laughter grew wheezy, Selina pulled her hands back. She watched as Bruce slumped down in his chair, panting as if he just did the most intense workout of his life, and a genuine smile remained plastered on his lips.
Catwoman couldn’t help but smile in return as she reached her hand out to him “C’mon, I’m sure the others would love to spend some time with you.”
Bruce accepted, intertwining his fingers with hers. He gave her hand a firm squeeze, as a silent thanks for pulling him out of his spiral. Joker could wait, there were more important things to focus on.
Intended for the E Street RPF community event, today's prompt is Bruce's laugh, so you KNOW I had to get in on this.
Bit of context, this story is based specifically on this performance of my absolute favorite Bruce song -- Red Headed Woman, of course. Also, this is the very first time I've ever written a story where the FMC is not some sort of version of myself, and I've been writing fanfic/RPF for nearly twenty years!
Pairing: Bruce Springsteen/Patti Scialfa
Rating: PG-13 (for language)
Warnings: Erm, the prompt is Bruce's laugh, and this is me we're talking about, so I'm pretty sure you can extrapolate from there what this story consists of. Lol.
Aaaaaaaanyway. Here y'all go.
After the Asbury Park concert of November 24, 1996
Bruce flopped down on the bed, his unbuttoned shirt flying open as he hit the mattress. “Fuckin’ hell, I’m exhausted,” he groaned. “You right there, baby?”
“Yeah,” came Patti’s voice. “I’ll be right in.”
“Take your time, sweetie,” Bruce said, closing his eyes. Sure enough, a few minutes later, he felt the mattress move as Patti sat down next to him. He opened his eyes. “Hey, Patts.”
“Hey yourself,” she laughed. “Baby, I swear to God, sometimes I don’t know what the hell I’m gonna do with you.” She gave him a poke.
Bruce flashed a cheeky smile. “What’d I do this time?” he asked.
“Bruce, it was bad enough when you were just doing Red Headed Woman on its own,” Patti said, a playful lilt of faux annoyance in her voice. “But now you’re doing it every show this tour, with that intro? You are absolutely shameless, baby.”
“I don’t see the issue here,” Bruce countered with a smirk of his own. “And I don’t think you do either, baby. Your words are sayin’ one thing, but that smile says otherwise.” He reached out and twirled a bit of Patti’s hair around his finger. “C’mon, admit it, darlin’. You like it when I do that song. And you really liked it tonight.”
Patti giggled and rolled her eyes. “Oh, don’t even,” she said, poking him in the ribs and giving her finger a little wiggle. “You’re on thin ice right now, my love.”
“Hehehehehey, no fair.” Bruce flinched and let out a stream of chuckles. “No fair tickling, baby.”
“Oh, that’s not tickling,” laughed Patti. “You want tickling? This is tickling.” She dug her fingers into her husband’s sides. “I can get this dirty job done too, you big goof!”
Immediately Bruce began to howl with laughter, which only intensified as Patti scribbled her fingers across his bare stomach and dug into his ribs. “Patti please don’t tickle mehehehehehe!” he begged. “Hahahahaha ahahahahahaha staaaahp!”
Patti shook her head. “No way,” she said. “This is payback for a whole year of doing that damn intro with that song. Telling the whole world what you like to do to me. And I know you’re not gonna stop, either. So neither am I.” She grinned and continued tickling him. “I’m gonna do this as loooooong as I want.”
“Honey plehehehehease!” Bruce wheezed, his body shaking as he dissolved into even more uncontrollable giggles. Sounds that could only be described as squeals poured from his mouth, and he tried to squirm, but it was no use – Patti had him pinned, and she wasn’t letting up. “Patti, please, please no, I cahahahahan’t!”
“Awwwww, look at that, Bruce Springsteen is ticklish,” Patti cooed, wiggling a finger into his belly button and laughing out loud when he let out a yelp. “Tickle tickle tickle tickle! Aww, you’re so cute, sweetie!”
Bruce was still laughing madly. He felt almost as if his sanity was slipping away the more Patti tickled him. His eyes began to cloud up with tears of laughter, and he squeezed them shut. “Mercy, please!” he cried. “Baby, you’re killin’ me here!”
“Well, maybe I could slow down a little,” Patti teased, her fingers slowing but not completely stopping. Bruce’s hysterical laughter slowed as well, until it became the little chuckles that he had started with. Patti giggled and kissed his cheek. “Now, what do you have to say for yourself, mister rock legend?”
Bruce grinned. “I’m still gonna keep singin’ it,” he said with a cheeky wink.
“Oh, you!” Patti let out a fake-shocked laugh. “If that’s how you’re gonna be, baby, I might as well just keep doing this!” She launched another attack, kneading at Bruce’s ribs once again. “Red headed woman, huh? Red headed tickle monster is more like it!”
“Patteeeeehehehehehehehehehe!” Once again, Bruce was immediately consumed in a storm of helpless laughter. “Dammit, sweets, you’re fuckin’ ruthless!”
Im only doing Brozone rn because thats all I feel like but send an ask or smth to request other characters if you’d like
golly gee here we go (im going in age order ((oldest to youngest)) because organization🔥🔥)
⭐️⭐️⭐️
John Dory:
90% ler, 10% lee
definitely used to wreck his brothers before the band broke up when they were younger
Used to embarrass his brothers in public by poking their sides or something and found it hilarious
the rest of Brozone definitely all ganged up on him for revenge
he isnt really a lee but doesn’t hate being tickled
still ticklish af though 💀
worst spot is his ribs
whenever one of his siblings starts a tickle fight, he usually wins
Always tells Poppy all of Branch’s worst tickle spots
He would sometimes tickle his brothers before a show to get them energized/in a good mood. Especially Clay, since he was supposed to have a silly attitude
(the following hcs are yanked from isitwp)❤️
- will purposely always pin his lees down, no matter who or what, he will always pin them down, even if it’s at the beginning, middle or end, somewhat he will pin them. (But sometimes he likes watching their limbs flail in desperate attempts to escape)
- when branch was younger, he would 100% hold him upside down and tickle his stomach as branch went crazy, desperately trying to get away.
- was known by his brothers as the “big tickle monster” considering he was the oldest, he was more stronger and he would chase them around the house and would not stop until he eventually got atleast one of them or until he just got tired.
- JD will in fact blow raspberries and to just make it worse, he would shake his head while blowing one to make it EVEN worse.
- definitely goes “nom nom nom!” When blowing raspberries and tickling his brothers, however he only does the nom nom nom thing on his brothers, he gets embarrassed if someone else knew that.
- definitely uses his hair to give a small sneak tickle attack to the side of his lee’s then acts like he didn’t he didn’t do anything.
- this bro used to actually tickle his brothers if they weren’t in the mood to practice, feel like it would go something like this: clay- dude, I’m not in the mood! JD- yeah yeah sure okay. *tickles clay’s armpits* clay- DUHUDEHE NOHOHO!
-if in a ler mood, JD will and I repeat will aim for these spots first, stomach, sides or ribs when he first attacks.
- acts like such a dad when tickling, he will go something like: JD- just checking on you! Respect your elders you rascal!
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Bruce:
100% ler
he doesn’t exactly hate being tickled either, but when he was younger and JD would poke him to get him to laugh (he always did it when they were interacting with fans too) he would get pretty mad so now he just gets embarrassed when he’s tickled
buuuuut since he’s a dad now he probably tickles his kids a lot so he does the same to his brothers. Especially Branch, since he’s kinda still considered the baby of the family
as adults he and JD sometimes team up during tickle fights, but when they were younger they went after each other the most
death spot is his stomach/sides
sometimes when he’s tickling his brothers, he’ll tell a dad joke, and when they laugh (bc they’re being tickled, not bc of the joke) he says something like “I knew you liked dad jokes!” Or “you really thought that was funny?” And they always get pissed
doesnt wreck people often, usually he prefers to briefly tickle people to cheer them up/ surprise them or something
his laugh gets really high pitched when he’s being tickled and he hates it
as an adult, any time JD tries to poke him he INSTANTLY gets revenge and wrecks him no matter where he is
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Clay:
70% ler, 30% lee
ALWAYS the one to start tickle fights
loves to sneak up on his brothers and surprise them with a tickle attack
sometimes will intentionally bother his brothers just to get them to tickle him. Would never admit that was his intention though
after the band was reunited and stuff, he tickles Branch all the time since Branch gets annoyed so easily now and he wants to cheer him up
has a really squeaky laugh when he’s tickled
he gets surprised easily so whenever someone tickles him he fucking screams
Clay is literally the kind if dude to lie and say he isn’t ticklish when in reality he is
His underarms are his worst spot but his ears are pretty sensitive too
such an evil ler and always knows exactly what teases will fluster his lee the most
when someone tickles him he says every swear word (minus slurs of course 💀) like it’s insane
“FUHUHUHUHUCK YOU HAHAHAH GOHOD D-DAMN BIHIHIHIHITCH AHAHAHAHA-“
he never means any if it though dw
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Floyd:
40% ler, 60% lee
Floyd is the kind of dude to shyly ask his brothers to tickle him
SUCH a fucking sweetheart as both a lee and a ler
has a habit of hugging himself or his ler when he’s being tickled, but if he’s pinned then he’ll stim in some way, maybe by kicking his legs or something. He does this because he doesn’t want to fight the tickles but its hard to stay still
He would always team up with Branch when they were younger during tickle fights so that Bitty B wouldn’t be all alone/overwhelmed
LOVES soft/cuddly tickles
feathers make him WEAK (he’s hella feather ticklish)
has literally the sweetest sounding laugh
his back/shoulders/neck are his worst spots but he’s super ticklish everywhere else
when he’s the ler, he always gives raspberries
Don’t let his adorable appearance fool you, though- he can and will fucking wreck people. He just doesn’t do it often
best at giving cheer up tickles
loves to compliment people while he tickles them
(more stolen from isitwp because rawr)
has moments where he checks if the lee is fine before going back to mercilessly tickle them.
- 100% gave branch cheer up tickles and still does, YOU WILL NEVER CONVINCE ME HE DOES NOT.
- definitely tickled branch most when they were kids, he also tickled his older brothers to save branch from their tickles.
- gave branch the tickle of his lifetime after they returned, he would tease him like: Floyd- sorry branchie, gotta tickle you for all the years I’ve missed!
- calls branch “branchie” to tease him during tickling which branch HATES.
- pulls Lee into his lap so he can nibble on their neck, most likely going “nom nom nom!” Just like JD.
- like JD, he also used to hold branch upside down and tickle him.
- yells “here comes the spiders!” And begins spidering all over his lee just to hear them scream HEIWNWHDIDJS.
- just the look in his eyes before he tickles the lee is already enough to make the lee giggle, HE AHS SUCH A DEVIOUS LOOK.
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Branch:
50% ler, 50% lee
Super duper shy about tickles though
whenever he’s in a ler mood, he usually goes after Poppy because he’s used to it (started tickling her more often when they started dating bc he knew that she was comfortable with it and also bc he knows that she’ll most likely get him back and he loves it). Doesn’t even know why he’s so nervous to tickle people, especially his brothers because they tickle each other all the time
when it comes to being tickled though…
Branch is easily the most ticklish out of all his brothers 😭
He would literally rather eat a spider than ask for tickles because it’s so embarrassing to him
he loves it when his brothers tickle him without him having to ask
at this point Poppy knows that he secretly loves tickles, and since he would never ask, she asks him if he wants to be tickled
he usually replies with a shy little nod
always covers his face to hide his goofy giddy smile when he’s being tickled
⭐️⭐️⭐️
YIPPEE THATS IT!
hopefully you enjoyed, again feel free to request headcanons for a specific character(s)/scenario 💜💜
also i highly encourage other tkl enjoyers in the trolls fandom to post headcanons please 😭 ive seen like no others so i had to provide for myself
Could be during an interview or while he's standing around in public?
Ooo I've never written Lois before so I will prob butcher her but it's okay since it's only a 3 sentence thing (have i ever in my life followed the rules for these things?) thanks for the challenge!
~~~
"I'd hold my tongue if I were you, Mr. Wayne." Lois whispered, her hand appearing out of nowhere to slip under his suit jacket and rest on his side, fingers sliding over the silky material of his shirt as they sought out the rich laughter she's heard so much about.
Bruce's left eyebrow rose of its own accord as Lois Lane snuck up behind him while he was teasing Clark and--was she trying to tickle him? It seems Clark's been talking about him to his friends, and Bruce didn't know if he should be flattered or if he should murder him. Unfortunately for him (fortunately for his boyfriend and his best friend) they were at a gala and Bruce had a part to play so his face split into a smile and he squirmed away from the tickling fingers.
"Ms. Lane." Bruce gasped, obnoxious Brucie person coming out to play, lest anyone around them become suspicious. "There was a time I would have loved to have your hands all over me." Lois narrowed her eyes at that, pinching his side hand and causing Bruce to suck in air between his teeth. His eyes were sparkling though, they both knew he deserved that. "But I'm trying out this monogamy thing." He pitched his voice low, as though he didn't want anyone around them to hear such an embarrassing fact.
"Oh?" Lois asked, hands trying to go back in for another strike. Bruce was lazily blocking her attempts, seemingly oblivious to Clark lurking behind him ready to strike. "And how's that working out?"
Lois knew exactly how that was working out. He was stupidly in love with sunshine personified, but he had a reputation to maintain and he couldn't possibly say that in public. "Well, it seems he's been divulging my deepest darkest secrets to reporters, so not gre-HEEEE--Clark!!"
Clark took the opportunity to hug Bruce from behind and tickle quick fingers over his stomach. He had to show Lois how it was really done, where Bruce couldn't control his reactions no matter how hard he tried as he desperately tried to tamp down on his laughter. The people closest to their group were looking on in amusement, and if this wound up in one of the gossip rags Bruce might actually kill him, so Clark let him go after he got a solid laugh out of him. It didn't take long.

Do you by any chance have any headcanons/thoughts about Bruce Wayne being ticklish that you want to share with the class 🥺
OMG abso-fucking-lutely
I think he can hold out weirdly long while being tickled without laughing, mostly as self-preservation so his kids and colleagues don't find out about it so easily, but once he's laughing, he is absolutely not stopping
I think some of his fondest memories with his mother are from moments when she was tickling him, because she was always so soft with him
I think that after his parents died he really appreciated any affection he could get (and Alfred would try to provide as often as possible) and as a result he also probably liked to be tickled, but got less vocal about it (and increasingly more embarrassed by it) the older that he got
I think that the older his kids get the more attentive they are to it as well (I think Dick absolutely tickles him on purpose, and Tim makes sure to give Bruce hugs when he can to make sure he's getting the daily recommended dose)
I think his worst spots are his tummy and thighs, and while tummy raspberries get him bad, the moment someone pinches his thighs he is absolutely hysterical
Weirdly, I don't think it was Clark that found out Bruce was ticklish first out of the JL, I think it was probably Diana, who promised to keep it a secret, but Hal was somewhere nearby and totally blabbed about it
He isn't a huge fan of Hal or Barry tickling him, because they usually go harder and their teases lean more towards making fun of him (because he scares them), but he likes when Diana or Clark do it, because they are much softer about it
Sometimes he lets his kids tickle him, but usually he's the ones doing the tickling, though he is known to let them get revenge every once in a while
When his neck or ribs are tickled he starts to snort, and he is incredibly embarrassed by it
He likes rougher tickles more than softer tickles, just because of how embarrassed he gets when he has enough brain power to think about the situation that he's in
No matter who's tickling him, whether they're stronger than him or not, he just kind of lies back and takes it, throwing his head back and curling his arms into his chest
I think he prefers when the ler is stronger, though, because he has to worry less about hurting them
I also think that every once in a while, maybe when Bruce is injured or tired, that Alfred still gets him pretty bad (and Alfred's teases absolutely tear Bruce apart)
