#ler!chan

   The sound of crunching and soft conversation filled the room, with each of the members munching on their respective snacks and taking part in their respective side conversations as the movie played in the background. It was some random movie they'd all agreed on, and only half fo them were actually paying attention, while the other half slept or chattered quietly about whatever. Han and Lee Know were taking about their pets while Seungmin and Changbin talked about some random topic, something they clearly found interesting though- they'd been talking about it for the last 20 minutes.

   As for the other half, they were consumed in the movie. Right now, the two main leads (it was a musical type movie- the first one they'd found, so nothing particular) were singing a sweet duet love song as they went to their date. I.N. seemed content with the movie, occasionally stealing a handful of snacks from Seungmin. Chan had always been such a romantic, so he always found himself tearing up whenever he watched movies like this. Felix was actively rubbing circles on his back, chuckling as he and Hyunjin remarked about how cute the two girls were together.

  "They just look so happy! How can I not get teary??" Chan sniffled, wiping a tear from his eye as the song ended and the two arrived at one girl's house.

"Love is love, Channie- I would love to find a partner with that kind of love between us." Felix said, momentarily turning to his hyung to playfully reassure him. However, as he turned back to the screen, he was met with the sound of joyful laughter and a barrage of giggly "stop"s and "nono"s. The chick froze as soon as he saw the two girls tackling each other playfully, the one with dark hair peppering kisses all over the blonde haired girl's neck as her hands scribbled into her sides gently.

   Chan noticed the sudden change of emotion from the member beside him, and as he looked from Lix to the screen, the dots connected.

   "Lixxie~" He teased, his voice holding a lilting tone as he slowly brought a hand to the chick's shoulder, watching the blonde let out an involuntary giggle as he flinched away, accidentally bumping into Hyunjin.

   "Whoa, Lix- you okay? You seem really tense all of a-" The ferret cut himself off as his eyes flicked to the screen, seeing the blonde girl attempting to reverse the roles between her and the dark haired girl.

   "Oh. I see." Hyunjin smirked, sneakily bringing his hands up to Felix's shoulders, causing said chick to flinch and lean back toward Chan’s side. This only made Hyunjin chuckle and raised an eyebrow, reaching for the squirmy chick teasingly. Naturally, Felix ran- or, at least he tried to. Before he could even get off the carpet, though, Hyunjins hands were already on his waist dragging him back as he simultaneously dug into his hips, eliciting squeaky, bubbly giggles from the dancer.

   "NoHOho- HyuHunniE!" Felix protested, letting out a squeak as Hyunjin pinned his arms to his chest from behind by wrapping on of his own arms around the chick, rendering him immobile as Chan smirked. "What's wrong, Lixxie? Scared I'm gonna...tickle tickle tickle you?~" Chan teased, wiggling his fingers at the squirming chick as he got closer to the blonde's belly. Hyunjin just grinned and began to softly blow air on the back of Lix's neck, watching him scrunch up his shoulders cutely.

   "Dohont! Noho-" Felix tried, a blush starting to cover his cheeks and neck, ears reddening by the second. Chan saw his opening and took it.

   "Dont..what, Lixxie? Hm?" Chan asked, hoping the chick would take the bait. Even Hyunjin smirked as he watched the interaction.

    "Tihickle me!" Felix squeaked out, realizing far too late what he'd just said as Han blinked, turning his head to the squirming blonde.

   "Well, you're in for it now Lixxie- you definitely should not say those words around us, let alone those two. Good luck- i think you'll need it!" He teased, letting out a squeak as Lee Know teasingly poked his side, apologizng when Han raised a hand in a joke gesture to hit him. Chan wasted no time in digging into the chick's sides through the thin fabric of his shirt, vibrating his fingers into the skin as Hyunjin began peppering light kisses all across the back and base of his neck.

    "Yea, Lixxie- you'll need it! You shouldn't have let us catch you- unless you wanted this?" The wolf teased, slipping his hands under the younger's shirt and sliding it up to his chest, loving the way Felix tried to twist away as the cold air hit his now exposed belly.

   "Felix! Why did you never tell me you had freckles on your tummy? Thats adorable!" Chan gasped, seeming to get cuteness aggression from the sight. As he began softly drawing lines between each freckle, connecting them like dots, the chick beneath him let out the sweetest little giggles that just made him want to smother his Aussie twin with love until he exploded.

   "Wait, Felix has belly freckles? Why did I never notice this? How did I never notice?" Hyunjin exclaimed, pausing the kisses on the chick's neck to examine his toned tummy from where he was sitting behind the blonde. Suddenly, he blew a sharp raspberry on the side of Lix's neck, right where it meets his shoulder, still holding the chick in place.

   "NAHA- HyunJihiNNie! Chahan-hyuHung! Let mehe goho!" Felix protested, attempting to displace the wolf's tracing fingers on his belly as he thrashed. Instead, it only caused a stray finger to land in his belly button, which Chan decided was a good spot to get the chick really laughing. As he began swirling his finger around inside the dancer's navel, his other hand was scratching up and down the length of exposed side and ribs left available.

   "Aw, Lixxie- look at you~ so ticklish and giggly. Makes me want to keep you here forever, just giggling yourself silly in my arms." Hyunjin whispered next to the blonde, watching a deep red flush through his cheeks and neck as he tried squirming away from the two lers. Felix rapidly shook his head, blonde hair scattering across his face as he begged, thrashing wildly in Hyunjin's hold as Channie went to town on his belly and ribs.

   "NAHAH-  CHAHAN! HYUHUN-HYUHUNJIHINNIE! NAHAHT THEHERE-" The chick screeched, attempting to throw off the oldest's teasingly fingers as they explored every inch of his pale, freckled tummy, digging into especially near where his ribs met his armpits.

   "Hey, Felix, can you try to be a little quieter? I can barely hear the movie-" Seungmin complained, which earned him a dirty look from the chick. Ironically, that same chick fell into silent laughter not ling after the puppy had made that remark. However, as soon as the two wrecking him lightened up to let him breathe, he made his threat known to the younger through giggles. "Yohou...are dehead, Kim Seuhungmihin. Afteher this, yohou better ruHUhAN!" Felix tried, laughing pitching up again as Chan leaned down and began to plant kisses all over his belly, making constellation like patterns with his lips. These, of course, drove the poor chick insane.

   "OKAHAY CHAHAN-HYUHUNG STAHAP PLEHEASE! I CAHANT-" Felix begged, taking in a deep breath of air when the wolf finally lifted off of his stomach with a smirk. "Oh, dont think you're done yet- Hyunjin, would you like to do the honors?" Chan asked, grin growing ever wider when the ferret nodded mischievously as the two swiftly traded places.

   "Ready, Lixxie? Here I come~" Hyunjin sang, lowering his head torturously slow to the chick flushed belly. "Noho...Hyunnie stahap...plehease-" (Un)fortunately for Felix, his pleas fell on deaf ears as the other dancer blew a long, loud raspberry right onto his tummy, resulting in an ungodly shriek and more thrashing, along with a few more well-placed raspberrie before peace was finally made.

   "You two...suhuck.." Felix said, pointing a shaky finger at the two as he took in deep breaths of air. "Are you three actually done now? Its already late, and we would like to finish the movie-" Seungmin griped from the couch. Even though Felix's energy was drained, that didn't stop him from getting up and marching over to the puppy as he tackled him. The last coherent words that could be heard from the vocalist before loud laughter took over where a panicked sequences of "wait"'s and giggly "no"'s. Safe to say they went to bed later than planned because of certain activities. Not that anyone actually minded.

<---------------------------------------------------->

Hyunjin was lonely.

Changbin, his lovely roommate and wife, had gone out with Felix and Jeongin to hit up some bars. He had invited Hyunjin to come along, but the dancer had declined. He wanted company, just…not drunk company. Plus, Felix and Jeongin tended to bring out the waterworks a few drinks in, and Hyunjin really didn’t feel like dealing with that.

To pass the time, the ferret decided to watch the most recent “RachaLog” that had come out. Changbin and Jisung failing to cook for Chan while the leader stressed and watched in horror. It was good– he loved seeing his bandmates joke around like the family they were. There was one instance, however, that caught his attention.

“Why don’t you guys come over for dinner anymore?” Chan whined playfully, smoothing his hands over the table. Just a dad missing his kids.

Yeah…Chan would work.

So Hyunjin packed a small bag, walked over to the older’s apartment, throwing the door open with no warning. Most people might think his impromptu visit was rude without first notifying the leader, but Chan looked positively delighted when he walked through the door. He instantly pulled the younger into a hug, asking a million questions of “how have you been doing?”, “Did you come to visit your hyung?”, “Are you hungry?”, “What have you been up to?” Hyunjin giggled, filled with warmth at the affection, and told the older he was in fact hungry.

The dancer watched fondly as the leader shuffled around the kitchen, practically vibrating with excitement to see one of his bandmates seek him out. Chan was humming to himself, dutifully setting up all his materials, and Hyunjin saw an opportunity.

Simply being around the producer was already making him feel better, but there was one specific thing he was craving, and he knew if he annoyed Chan just right, he would get it. He put on his most innocent smile, walking into the kitchen to begin helping, but…he was fantastically unhelpful. Hyunjin had to restrain himself as he watched Chan malfunction, torn between wanting to let him help and kicking him out as the dancer clanged pots together and spilled salt across the counter.

“Jinnie– ah…hyung can handle it.” Chan interrupted, looking physically pained when Hyunjin filled a pot with water, getting his sleeves wet in the process. The dancer flashed him a warm smile, playfully shaking his head.

“What? I can help! I’m great in the kitchen.” He insisted, setting the pot down rather roughly, making the water slosh around. He glanced over at the leader, unable to help the giggle that escaped him at Chan’s exasperated expression.

Shit.

Chan blinked, confused, then his smile morphed into something playful, quirking an eyebrow as he situated a hand on his hip. “Do you really believe that, or are you trying to be a nuisance while I’m so kindly cooking a meal for you?”

“Hyung! How could you say such things!” Hyunjin gasped, unable to keep the giant dorky smile off his face as he poured salt into the water, spilling some off the side. “I’m a fantastic cook.”

“You’re a fantastic disaster.” Chan retorted, shaking his head fondly, stepping forward to shoo the younger away. “Get out. Go sit down.”

“No! I wanna help.” The dancer insisted, spinning around to avoid the leader, moving to grab a carrot and a peeler, sending the carrot shavings flying all across the counter as he worked. Chan let out a playful growl, coming up behind him and wrapping his arms around his waist, lifting him away from the counter. Hyunjin shrieked, delighted, throwing the peeler and carrot back onto the counter.

“Out, you little menace.” Chan instructed, setting him down away from the counter. Hyunjin made a break for the poor vegetables once more, and Chan was quick to scoop him up again. “Not leaving? Fine.” He dug his fingers into the ferret’s ribs, dancing up and down his sides as he held him close.

Hyunjin yelped, squirming, and quickly dissolved into giggles, his cheeks flushing a pretty pink. “Hyuhuhung!”

Chan grinned, watching as the younger half heartedly fought against him, nuzzling against his cheek. “What? Is this not what you wanted, hm? A reaction because you’re being a nuisance?”

“Ihihi w-was hehehelping out o-of thehehe k-kindess–” The dancer squeaked, his arms rocketing down as Chan shoved his teasing fingers into his armpit. Unfortunately, the leader’s free arm was still wrapped around him and pinching at his ribs, so his arms were unable to flatten to protect himself.

“Helping? You call that helping? Look at this.” Chan sighed playfully, nodding his head to the mess of the kitchen counter. Salt, water, and carrot shavings decorating the previously clean space. “This is a mess.” He nosed at the back of the younger’s neck, grinning when Hyunjin scrunched his shoulders up in response, his giggles sweet and bubbly.

“I-I’m sohohorry!” Hyunjin squeaked out, crumpling when Chan squeezed his thigh, but the leader held him upright, enjoying the mischievous ferret’s undoing.

“No you’re not.” The leader sighed playfully, releasing his captive only to start chasing him out of the kitchen, poking at any available skin he could reach. Hyunjin yelped, giggles tumbling from his lips, and scrambled to shuffle backwards, weakly swatting at the offending hands.

“I-I ahaham! I’ll s-stahahahay o-out!” He sputtered, squawking as the back of his knees hit the couch, causing him to fall backwards. Chan’s hands descended upon his stomach, clawing at every inch he could reach as the dancer giggled helplessly and pushed at his hands. The leader then tore up his shirt, pressing a firm kiss to his stomach, then his cheek, then his forehead. He straightened up, leaning back to admire the flushed, giggly state he left his bandmate in.

“Stay here.” Chan instructed, grinning from ear to ear, playfully pointing a finger at him. “And do not come back into the kitchen until I tell you.”

“Ehehe…y-yes, hyung.” Hyunjin murmured, dazed with giddiness, sporting a bright smile as he curled in on himself. Chan gave a pleased hum, leaning down one last time to plant a final kiss on his forehead, then making his way back to the kitchen.

“Good. Can’t have my favorite ferret going hungry.” He declared playfully grinning. Hyunjin gave a dramatic whine, throwing his arms up.

“Hyung! I’m the only ferret-person you know.”

“That’s what you think.”

Changbin had just gotten back from the gym. He did a more intense workout this time, so his legs and back are a bit sore. He put his stuff down, and went to lay on the couch. He got on his phone.

Not long after, Chan walked into the room. "Hey Binnie." He said, sitting next to him. "Hi Channie-hyung." Changbin said, sounding exhausted

"Are you ok Binnie? You sound exhausted." He rubbed his hand on the younger's shoulder. "Yeah. I just got back from the gym. My back is sore." "Do you want me to give you a massage?" Chan asked. "Yes please hyung!" Changbin layed on his stomach on thw couch, as Chan started massaging his back.

Changbin immediately started feeling relief. Chan was gently but firmly massaging his back, and Changbin started dozing off. That was until Chan slowly traced his fingers down the younger's ribs, making Changbin squeak. "Hehey dont do that" Changbin gently giggled, as Chan softly smirked "What? Gentle tickles help too!" Chan started gently spidering Changbin's sides, making him squeak with giggles

"Hyuhuhuhung nohohoho" Changbin's giggles started picking up. Chan was in awe at the younger's giggles. He started to gently spider his hands over his ribs, changbin giggling more and more. "HyUNG NOHOHOHOHOHO" Chan just giggled, continuing. "This will help it too!" Changbin was blushing and giggling. He knew he loved this.

Chan's hands suddenly went to the youngers hips, making Changbin squeal really loud. "Oh is this a bad spot??" Changbin just giggled more and more, as Chan started gently tickling his hips.

After a few more minutes of this, Chan finally let up, and sat down, giggling. Changbin kept giggling for a little bit. "You knohow you're evil right?" Changbin said, still gently giggling. "I was trying to help you." Chan smiled. They rested on the couch, both of them falling asleep.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Han sat inside the small private space of his room. He was pouting and upset over his inability to “play the guitar” as he wished. The Japan dome tour had ended not long ago and he felt that his skills on the guitar didn’t live up to Stays’ standards (which they obviously did, but he didn’t know that for some reason).

Right as he was laying down on his back, Chan and Changbin walk in without warning.

“Hanniee~” Bin cooes as he walks over to the edge of his bed and sits.

“Mm?” Han hummed as they say on either side of his laid down body.

“What, mm? That all you have to say to us?” Chan questioned with a smile.

“I’m tireddd don’t make me put in more effort than I have toho” Han whined as he put his hands over his face. Chan rubbed lovingly at his stomach.

“No way you’re pouting” Bin teased.

“Mmmugghhh” Han complained.

At this point, Bin and Chan eyed each other. Han had his moments of boredom or exhaustion just like the rest of them did. But.. 3racha knew their maknae, and he was definitely upset about something. His way of pretending he’s tired instead of upset was not gonna work on them today.

“What’re you upset about?” Chan questioned.

“Hm? Nothing, nothing just tired” Han brushed off his question.

“Liar” Chan said as his stomach rubs turned into quick scritches across the expanse.

Han squealed and brought his legs to his chest, scrunching his body to the side.

“Noohoho stoohop” he whined.

“You’re clearly upset about something, Han” Bin said.

Han sat up and stretched his hands out in front of him.

“I think I’m just disappointed, I’ve been trying to improve some of my skills and it’s not going as good as I planned”

“Like what?” Both Chan and Bin asked attentively.

“I don’t know.. the guitar? It sounds dumb but it didn’t feel like I did that great on stage”

Chan and Bin’s jaws dropped at the same time.

“You mean you think your badass solo where you were ripping up that guitar wasn’t good?!” Chan yelled.

“Is he talking about the one where he had every Stay and their mother crying out for him” Bin *whispered* into Chan’s ear.

“Listen” Han said throwing his arms up in mock defense, “I just didn’t like it. I feel that I need way more practice and it’s gonna be so stressful relearning what I thought I knew and if I can’t even improve it I don’t know what I’ll do-“

“How about this” Chan quickly shut him up, “I will help you with your guitar lessons if you help me with my piano ones. Deal?”

Han looked confused, he had no idea how Chan planned to help him with guitar lessons, even less how Han was mean to help with piano.

“Piano..?” Han questioned.

“Yup.” Chan said.

“He picked up on it recently. He’s really bad” Bin said jokingly as Chan nudged him in the side.

“Okay.. so how would I be of any help to you?” Han asked lovingly with a bit of confusion in his brow.

“Like this!” Chan, sat beside Han on the edge of the bed, grabbed both his wrists with one hand, and pulled Han onto his lap until his torso was resting on Chan’s thighs (arms still outstretched).

“Whahat?” Han giggled as he was dragged and confused.

“Bin, get your notes app out and hold his legs. I need my practice” Chan said.

Han giggled in anticipation, “How are wehe gonna practice this way-“

Chan dug four fingers into the spaces between Han’s ribs and shook, vibrating deep into the crevices.

“WoaHAHA CHAHAN” Han felt like his nerves were on fire with all the intense spasming his side was going through.

“WAHAIT?!?! WHAHA AAHAHA WAHA SHIHIT” was all Han really managed to get out. Chan was an expert at tickling for absolutely no reason, with his quick pokes and prodes along with his amazing awful teases.

“See because if you say you’re bad at your quickness and agility at the guitar then I-“

“NAAAHAH” Han interrupted as Chan began tasering his ribs.

“-as I was saying, then I must be awful but soo awful at the piano. So, I need this practice.”

“Hmmm Chan I think you gotta raise the tune an octave.. go under that one” Bin gave his input.

“Oh here?” Chan said as he took two fingers and inserted them under Han’s lowest rib, pushing them up against it and wiggling.

Han screamed out and thrashed as much as he could, which was difficult when his wrists were held up by Chan and his legs held down by Bin..

“NOHO PLEHHHEEHASE STOHOP LET ME GAA HA HA HAA”

“Oooh Bin you were right I did need to go lower! Much better” Chan teased.

“We need to test your ‘tuning skills’ though..” Bin said.

Chan quickly understood and began to prod at two spots on Hanji’s ribs at once. He would go under his last rib and dig into his first one, or prod into two ribs beside each other and so on.

“Hanji? Earth to Han? We need an update,” Bin giggled while trying to talk to the screaming Han on their laps, “how’s the tuning? You think he’s gotten better at it?”

“NAAAHAHAAHA WHAA ANGAHABA AHHH”

“Naaah? You don’t? Damn, guess I need more practice then..” Chan fake sighed.

Han’s eyes went wide as he screamed.

Needless to say Han was out of breath not even three minutes in. He was writhing in their grips, and Bin giving Chan instructions on how to torture him further did not help his situation. Although.. it was no lie that a break like that was needed after all the stress he went through after the concert. He seemed to have forgotten his main concern from the foggy laughter taking up every section of his brain.

He loved it.

Chan slowed down his fingers while looking fondly at a wet-faced Han. He buried his face in Chan’s lower stomach and whined as Chan laughed at his blush.

“Awww~” both him and Binnie cooed.

Han covered his face with his hands and curled up into a ball as Chan rubbed lovingly at his back. He had the widest smile on his face that he couldn’t seem to get rid of.

“Ihah I’m so tired” Han laughed out in big breaths “That was unnecessary and mean” he whined.

Chan smiled his eye smile and pet at Han’s arm. Bin was running his hand through Han’s hair, causing the younger to get sleepy fast. Chan slowly got up and covered him under the sheets and left, while Bin tip-toed away.. until Han grabbed hold on his shorts.

“Stahay” a breathy Han said.

Bin looked at him fondly, “Cuteeee” he silently cooed.

Han shook his head as Bin sat next to his still-curled-into-a-ball body. He rubbed at his arms and neck while Han fell asleep dreaming of everything except guitars and pianos for the remainder of the night.
