Im gonna put both hers in a separate section for organization purposes

Meanie >:(

⭐️Pissed about being ticklish and will slap you if you try anything

⭐️She can say the dreaded word of doom either way but when she’s in her meanie era she won’t because she thinks its too silly (she thinks tickling in general is too silly)

⭐️It’s funny because usually if she were to tickle someone it would be because she’s mad at them, which is hard to take seriously bc like… you’re genuinely mad at whoever, but you’re tickling them?? What happened to that being too silly? (*cough* she only thinks its childish when shes on the receiving end *cough* hypocrite)

⭐️While she finds it humiliating to be ticklish, she still will begrudgingly answer truthfully if asked because she knows that as Salesperson she’d be more than happy to be truthful, so there’s no point in lying

⭐️”Ugh… so what if im… you know. Everyone is.”

⭐️not a millimeter of eye contact the entire time.. and wait a minute, is that a blush you see!?

⭐️yessirr our girl is very easily flustered when it comes to twords

⭐️guys i cant do this anymore ena’s laugh (BOTH VOICES) is so shshhskssgksvivai avaiIvaiv you knkw… anyway speaking of, Meanie gets really giggly when she’s tickled and its really cute but she’ll hate you forever if you say anything about it

help the ler in me makes it hard to think of anything other than lee hcs LOCK IN ESTELLE

⭐️uhhhh oh yk what the biggest thing that would provoke her into tickling someone would be them not taking anything seriously

⭐️”Oh I’ll give you something to laugh about-“

⭐️”Is it funny now? Huh? Is it? Well you’re laughing so im sure it is!”

⭐️oh my god and imagine instead of cooing and teasing she’d just mock/make fun of her lee

⭐️”’ohh stawpp’ what, can’t handle a bit of tickling?”

⭐️like she does a little high pitched voice too when she’s mocking

oh LAWWDD

i cant go on 🥀

⭐️OO WAIT HAKGA Ena can’t handle anticipation at ALL. Like neither personality can bro both versions go crazy over it 😭 having said that, Meanie gets very pissed if you’re like clearly about to tickle her but you’re waiting just to tick her off. She won’t be able to look at you without blushing, unable to stifle a nervous smile, and at one point might even snap “GOD DAMNIT JUST GET IT OVER WITH AND DO IT ALREADY!” Acting like she despises it but… sometimes she doesn’t

⭐️when she’s in a ler mood its not uncommon for her to just randomly attack a friend/silly

⭐️but her lee moods usually just go unnoticed unless some diva of a person can recognize the teensiest change in her attitude

Salesperson :3

⭐️now see when ena is in her salesperson era she’s not all down in the dumps about tickles

⭐️super enthusiastic about it, unashamed about being ticklish (she’s a bit shy about it but its no secret) and she loves cheering her friends up w tickles

⭐️she also uses the word of doom™️ as a weapon 🥀 soon as she finds out you get flustered hearing it, it becomes a part of her daily vocabulary just to get a reaction out of you

⭐️when it comes to Salesperson’s reaction to anticipation, she just becomes super duper giddy blushy and hides her face with her hat and giggles as if you’re already tickling her FUCK I LOVE MY WIFE/silly

⭐️”ahaha- waha- wait! Wahait a mihihinute! Oh gahahaha-“ “im not even touching you yet lmao” “ihi knohohow!”

⭐️unlike how she’s more blunt as meanie, when she’s in a ler mood she prefers asking before wrecking someone… which can sometimes be just as or MORE embarrassing than her just surprising you

⭐️”good afternoon, dearest coworker! Lately I have been missing the sound of your laugh, so would you mind if I tickled you?”

⭐️and if you say yes. Oh BUDDY. She’s so polite about it it might as well be her teasing 🥀

⭐️”now, what would you say is most effective in getting you to laugh? Do you have any favorite spots or techniques? Anything I should avoid?”

⭐️shes genuine about it too and expects you to answer so dont leave her hanging!! Tell the truth!!

⭐️I honesy dont know what she would do in a lee moods tbh,,,, maybe if she’s like suuuuper close w somebody she’ll try to provoke them or something

⭐️but lee moods are more noticeable in Salesperson because she’s more humble in general and you can just tell yk

⭐️oh and she doesnt even get mad when people tickle her (unless she’s trying to lock in, then Meanie will yell at you), it’s super likely that she’ll kinda just let it happen. But she WILL get revenge tho, that’s inevitable

⭐️when wrecking someone, she observes their reactions like she’s documenting them or something. And she notices EVERYTHING. From the sound of their laugh to the way their blush deepened from a specific tease, NOTHING goes unnoticed

⭐️but while she’s a very effective ler, worry not because she’s also very sweet and will never cross your boundaries, as long as you communicate :3 she’ll stop right away if you tell her to

(alright these last ones apply to Ena in general, both shes 💜)

⭐️my intuition is telling me that her knees would be one of her worst spots (im very clairvoyant trust). Like you could simply place your hand on her knee and she’d squeak or flinch

⭐️after being completely wrecked, she gets a tad more affectionate but won’t ask for aftercare unless you initiate it bc she doesn’t wanna bother you (like even Meanie might lean against you like a cat or something)

⭐️and finally, her most frequent ler is Froggie and her most frequent lee is Coral Glasses (more on that later if yall want 👀)

Kanade

Lee

Kanade is extremely susceptible to tickling, in multiple ways. She's pretty skinny and bony, and her normal outfit doesn't offer much defense. The shirt is thin, and the jacket is easy to slip your hands under. She's also just sensitive to touch in general - most of her senses are sharper than the average person's (hence her dislike of strong-smelling food and bright sunlight).

Kanade's ticklish in a lot of places, but her shoulders and just her upper back area in general are a bit of a death spot for her. It's part of the reason why she doesn't like people messing with her hair - oftentimes their fingers will end up brushing over her shoulder blades and making her flinch. (Not that she dislikes being tickled there, she just gets embarrassed when it happens accidentally.)

I'd say Kanade's second most ticklish spot is her ribs. Which Ena and Mizuki are very aware of, and they will use that fact to convince Kanade eat proper meals ("Come on, Kanade, you're so skinny your ribs are sticking out! Look: one, two...").

Kanade has a really soft, breathy giggle, similar to her normal chuckles but more bubbly. She never really goes into full-on laughter - her giggles just get more giddy-sounding the more ticklish she's feeling. She does, however, start making little squeaks if you get her good enough, as if she wasn't adorable enough already.

Kanade doesn't squirm much. More often, she'll just curl herself up into a little ball, or cling to the ler for support if she's standing. Even then, she tires out quite easily, but thankfully everyone who could potentially end up tickling her is aware of her limits.

Kanade finds being tickled to be kind of nostalgic - her dad used to tickle her sometimes as a child, before her mom passed away. So, being tickled can put Kanade into a bit of a childish mood, where she gets all giggly and happy as she relives fond memories. It's bittersweet, but leans much more on the "sweet" side.

However, that all changes if you start teasing her. This girl instantly turns into a flustered mess once she's reminded of how silly and cute she's acting. Perhaps she'd start feeling guilty for enjoying herself so much if not for the fact that she'd usually be too giddy and giggly by this point to think about it much.

Speaking of which, despite being somewhat prone to lee moods, Kanade has a very hard time asking for tickles. Partially because she's shy, but moreso because she's afraid of burdening the other person, or that she doesn't deserve it, etc. Of course, the ler will always be happy to get her out of that self-deprecating mindset with some gentle affirmations and tickles :)

Ler

Kanade is a very shy and careful ler. She can be a bit awkward, and is always double checking to make sure the lee is comfortable and having fun. She almost never tickles anyone unprompted, nor does she follow up after accidentally tickling someone unless she's sure they liked it.

But at the same time, she also loves seeing the way people smile and laugh when she tickles them. It makes her so happy to know that she's the one who brought that smile to their face (especially with Mafuyu). She's definitely the type to just pause in the middle of tickling someone to just admire their expression with a soft, affectionate smile on her face.

Kanade is also really good at tickling. It might seem a bit unexpected at first, but this girl has been playing keyboard for basically her entire life, so her fingers are super nimble. Her hands are also pretty cold all the time (almost concerningly so but she's fineeeee). Thankfully, she's too nice and gentle to use the full extent of her powers.

Instead, Kanade usually sticks to very light and gentle tickling, like soft scribbles and flutters. Similarly, she much prefers to use reassurances and praises rather than playful teases. Of course, it can be flustering in its own right with how genuine she sounds as she tells you how nice your laugh is, and how glad she is that you're having fun.

Mafuyu

Lee

Mafuyu's actually surprisingly ticklish. Like, she's not that bad, but she's far from immune like one might expect. It's mostly because she has so little experience with it - she'd never experienced it from her parents for obvious reasons, and her persona in school has a professional aura that discourages her classmates from doing it.

Mafuyu doesn't have a specific tickle spot, but she does have a melt spot on the back of her neck and behind her ears. Tickling her there will cause her to get all relaxed and floppy in addition to the usual giggles, and if you're lucky she'll even subconsciously lean into your hand. She's like a big silly bunny :D

Mafuyu's laugh is kind of breathy and gasp-y. Like, if you've seen that one interaction where Mafuyu laughed at one of Emu's jokes, and Emu said her smile was real? Yeah, kind of like that, but less energetic-sounding. Honestly though, the best part is the fact that she's laughing at all, as well as her big yet genuine smile and flushed expression that's both extremely rare and incredibly heartwarming.

Interestingly, Mafuyu doesn't really hold back her laughs when she's being tickled. It's partially because she's not used to having to do so (since she rarely finds things funny enough to want to laugh at them in the first place), and partially because she doesn't really have any problems with being vulnerable in front of the other N25 members.

Similarly, Mafuyu doesn't try to fight back very much. She'll squirm a little, yes, but she won't try to push the ler's hand away or protest verbally or anything. I mean, why would she want to stop that warmth in her chest and the unfamiliar but not unpleasant giddiness taking over her senses?

Mafuyu was definitely very surprised at her own reaction the first time she got tickled. I feel like after it happened, she just kinda sat there trying to process her own reaction... But she soon decided that she liked it. She liked the warm fluttery feeling she'd get in her chest as she giggled away involuntarily, the way her worries and even her usual numbness seem to fade into the background.

Mafuyu rarely asks for tickles on her own, mostly because she can never really tell when she wants it. You'll generally need to look at her body language and nonverbal cues to tell if she's in a lee mood (getting more clingy, looking at the group members' hands etc). However, if she does realise it herself, she'll ask really directly and bluntly.

Ler

You cannot convince me that Mafuyu doesn't have a teasing side. She probably doesn't realise it herself, sure, but I feel like she gets some amusement out of seeing the other members' reactions when she scares them, or otherwise uses her bluntness to mess with them.

As such, she'll occasionally give the others (especially Ena) random pokes when they're working in the SEKAI, often as a way of getting their attention. She's aware of everyone's weak spots and uses that to her advantage to make the other girls jump, all while staring at them with that deadpan expression as if she had no idea what she just did.

On the other hand, Mafuyu never full-on tickles someone unless they ask for it. Which can be a bit frustrating (once again, especially for Ena) when one of her pokes happens to put the other into a lee mood, hehe...

Mafuyu's actual tickles can be described as calculated. They're not teasing at all - they're just very focused on the spots and movement patterns that get the biggest reaction. Not to mention, she'll probably just be staring blankly and silently at the lee's face the entire time (maybe they'll spot a tiny hint of a mischievous smile if they're lucky).

Ena

Lee

Ena's ticklishness is above average, but not as bad as Kanade. However, she's dramatic enough that you'd think she has it worse.

Ena's most ticklish spot is her tummy. Just poking her there in the right way is enough to get her to squeal, which is very amusing (if you can deal with the very flustered and disgruntled hedgehog she becomes after). She's very embarrassed about her weakness, and will never forgive Akito for tipping Mizuki off about it.

Ena's response to light tickles is to try and act like she finds it more annoying than ticklish, but she's not very good at it. Like, she'll complain, cross her arms and all that, but the effect is kind of ruined by how she's interrupting herself with snickers and twitches. Sometimes, she'll also try to slap the hand away, but never hard enough to hurt.

Firmer tickles give a much more dramatic response. She'll squeal a lot, flail around like crazy and yell for the person to stop, all while her face is adorably red from embarrassment. Still, she'll never directly acknowledge how much it's affecting her - in fact, she'll try her best to avoid saying the word "tickle" at all. She'll pretty much just die on the spot if you do the thing where you don't stop until she admits that it tickles (any tease will get a good reaction out of her, though).

Ena has one exception to this, and that's with Kanade. If it's Kanade who's tickling her (and no one is watching), Ena becomes an affectionate little puddle of giggles. She'll still get all flustered and might protest weakly a little, but she'll be much more openly happy. This way, we can see how Ena actually doesn't mind getting tickled, and that her tsundere attitude is just too strong to let it show normally.

Ena will NEVER ask for tickles. She does get into lee moods on occasion, and she'll try her very best not to let it show when it happens. It never works though, because her groupmates are all so darn observant.

Ler

As funny as it is to see Ena's reaction to being tickled silly, you'd better be prepared to be counterattacked if you dare to attempt it (unless you're Kanade, of course). Ena is very much the type to get herself some sweet revenge, and oh boy, she can be brutal.

Ena's pretty good at firm tickles in general, but it shows the most when she's doing it as payback. She will squeeze and scribble her victim's weak spots relentlessly while scolding/teasing them until they apologize. Of course, she's also mindful enough to make sure her victim has enough room to breathe and that they aren't actually getting upset and all that.

Honestly, tickling others is just good stress relief for Ena in general - rather than trashing her art supplies, she can just squeeze someone's sides and tummy to let all that frustration out, and her anger often doesn't last very long when she's distracted by the sound of the lee's laughter. Poor Akito in particular has been a victim of Ena's "tickle-venting" on more than one occasion.

When Ena's not out for (metaphorical) blood and is just feeling playful, she sometimes likes to use her brushes for tickling. Just little paint tattoos in places like on the knees or wrists, sometimes even on the belly if she feels up to it. She finds it especially amusing how the other person will try so hard to stay still while they're obviously trying not to squirm or giggle. (It also makes her feel somewhat affirmed that they care enough about her art to try not to ruin it, but who needs to know that?)

Once again, Ena makes a sort of "special exception" for Kanade (I swear I'm not biased towards Kanaena, they're just actually soft towards each other like that). Ena always keeps her tickles a lot more gentle when it comes to Kanade, though she sometimes can't help but throw in a few light ticklish squeezes as a sort of cuteness aggression. She's also a lot less teasing and more affectionate with her.

On that note, Ena's probably the most prone to ler moods out of the four girls, and her target is usually Kanade if she feels like being more gentle, or Mafuyu if she wants to go a little rougher. She'd once considered tickling Mizuki to sate her ler mood before, but was careful not to when she learned that Mizuki wasn't comfortable with it (this was before the secret was revealed).

Mizuki

Lee

Okay, Mizuki is a bit of a complicated case. This is because Mizuki instinctively isn't the most comfortable with being touched (she usually prefers being the one initiating it), mostly due to past trauma from bullying and in fear of her secret being revealed to someone. So, she's most comfortable being tickled by people who have known for a long time, like Rui, An or her sister Yuuki. With N25, it's still a work-in-progress, but she's trying her best.

Mizuki's most ticklish spot is her sides. I dunno, it just feels right to me. I can definitely imagine Yuuki gently squishing a younger Mizuki's sides as she helps her try on outfits.

Mizuki's tickle laugh is on the bubbly side. It's also higher pitched and less controlled compared to how her normal, playful laugh sounds. She squeals sometimes if she's feeling ticklish enough, but not as much as Ena. She squirms a roughly average amount.

Unfortunately, it can take a bit of doing to get Mizuki to actually let her laughter out if your name isn't Rui or Yuuki. Since she's not used to being vulnerable around most people, she tends to get all flustered and hold in her laughter when tickled by any of the N25 girls, sometimes even with people like An. Once she does manage to relax, she definitely enjoys it, though.

Mizuki's lee moods tend to be an extension of her need to be emotionally vulnerable. To her, it's a sign of trust on both sides, and a reassurance that the ler accepts her for who she is. Rui's usually the person she turns to for this, or Yuuki if she's around.

Now, a special section to talk about her progress with N25! After her secret was revealed, Mizuki tried her best to become more open about her feelings with the others. She still gets pretty nervous, though, and often needs a bit of reassurance to open up... So imagine everyone's surprise when she admitted she was in a lee mood. The other members quickly understood that Mizuki's lee moods are more of a a "seeking comfort" thing rather than a "playful" thing, and were as such very gentle and caring with her throughout the tickle session.

Ler

On the contrary, Mizuki is a little gremlin when it comes to giving tickles. She loves just briefly scribbling her fingers over her friends' ticklish spots to tease them, especially people who give good reactions like Ena. Said person doesn't need to know her secret, since this is kind of just a part of Mizuki's mischievous personality.

Mizuki doesn't really do tickle "sessions" most of the time, it's more just random pokes and prods as part of a normal interaction. This is partially because she's scared of going too far, especially with the risk of the person retaliating. See above for why Mizuki really doesn't want to be tickled randomly.

This doesn't mean Mizuki doesn't have chances to throw in some verbal teasing. She'll often smirk and comment on the other's reactions after a quick tickle (while making a little bit of distance to prevent a counterattack).

Mizuki does get playful ler moods occasionally, where she starts wanting to actually full-on tickle someone, to see their funny/cute reactions as she teases them and sends them into fits of giggles rather than just the startled yelps her normal method gets. She's learned to restrain herself, though, and instead, she'll just do the little tickles more frequently.

Once again, that isn't an issue with people she's already comfortable with. While it didn't really happen with Rui (Mizuki never really got ler moods during the bulk of the time they spent together), Mizuki's definitely tickled Yuuki before just for fun, the two of them playfully roughhousing.

In terms of getting more willing to do it with N25, this could have actually started before the secret was revealed. At one point, Kanade noticed Mizuki was poking her on and off more than normal and asked her about it. Mizuki rationalised that Kanade probably wouldn't retaliate anyway, so she decided to just let herself have some fun.

Kanade turned to meet her profile. Brown eyes that swirled like thick syrup, blazing with ardor, met her gaze for a moment. “I’m sorry, Enanan… I didn’t hear you.” Her worn and contrite voice had Ena softening instantly. She succumbed and nuzzled into Kanade’s neck with aggression.

“Ugh, it’s fine. I didn’t mean to say you were a bother, okay?” Her cheek squished against Kanade’s, and the softness seemed to calm her down. Kanade chuckled and reached up to cradle Ena’s face in her hand.

“Did you need something, dear?” Ena’s drooping eyes fired open at the question.

“Ah, right, I was getting to that! Mizuki wanted me to show you the costumes she made us for Halloween.” Ena departed for a moment, returning with a pair of dresses. One was pink and ruffly, bedecked with bows and flowers. The other appeared more gothic, with a large collar and lots of velvet. Ena twirled them in her hands. “What do you think? Mizuki wanted us to go as Kuromi and My Melody. Then I just happened to mention that Airi and I dressed as them before, and she got all whiny and upset and insisted on tailoring the costumes herself to ‘make it special.’” Ena rolled her eyes as she recounted their antics. “Such a child, seriously. But they’re cute, so I can’t be too mad.” A tiny blush puffed up her cheeks, and Kanade laughed.

“They look wonderful. Mizuki really is so talented.” Kanade swiveled in her chair to get a better view. “I hope she had fun.”

“I’ll say! She was pretty much bouncing up and down asking for my thoughts. It sounded like so much work, but as long as she enjoys it…” Ena shook her head. “A- Anyway, I’ll admit they look great! And it’s nice that they’re unique,” she babbled on as she set the dresses down. Kanade thought she sounded quite proud of Mizuki. But she didn’t dare say.

“That’s not all!” Ena whipped around, hiding something behind her back. “Listen, I know you and Mafuyu said you didn’t want to dress up for Halloween, but…”

A pit formed in Kanade’s stomach. Surely they didn’t make—

“…Mizuki took the time to make these costumes for you guys too! This is the Keroppi one for Mafuyu — I told Mizuki this green totally clashes with her eyes, but I’m sure Mafuyu will pull it off anyway. She looks good in anything. Ugh! — and this… is yours.”

Kanade blanched at the outfit Ena held up. It was clearly Cinnamoroll-inspired, with lace trimmings adorning the bodice and icing-like swirls on the hem of the frilly skirt. It really was fine work, but the problem was…

“Th- That’s way too cute for me.”

Heat pooled in Kanade’s cheeks, surely turning her face an embarrassing splotchy red. How could she wear something so adorable!?

Ena pouted again. “But you are cute, Kanade! We’ve never seen you dressed up but we know you’d look so good. And I swear, it’ll only be for one picture. Or two. You don’t have to come out with us or anything!” Suddenly Ena’s hands gripped her waist, and Kanade choked. “You never wear anything but this. You have so much potential!”

“EHe– Ehenahaha, wahait!” Kanade curled into a ball on her chair, Ena’s bruised fingers worming between her ribs. Her bony elbows made gentle and futile attempts to push Ena’s hands away.

Ena scoffed, but the sound lifted into a laugh at the end. “Now you’re laughing at me? Jeez, K.” Her cheek landed flush against the crown of Kanade’s head as she squeezed Kanade to her guts. Ena’s nails, painted herself, found the hem of her jacket and scribbled underneath.

Squeaking, Kanade shoved her flushed cheeks into her knees. The desk blocked her escape; she had nowhere to go but further into her chair. “EnaHA! NohOHO myhaha sihihiHIdes!”

“Well, your shirt doesn’t give you any protection. Maybe if you wore the dress…” Ena giggled at the huffs and hitches in Kanade’s breath and the bashful shake of her head. She’d made herself so small, just begging to be held and squished and gobbled up. Her cheeks were so full of life and glee, Ena just wanted to kiss them pink.

Kanade tired quickly. After Ena's scrawling over her underarms and Kanade's desperate wriggling, her stitches had turned to wheezes and her begging to whispers. Ena released her and captured her child-like smile with her lips, and Kanade dissolved into a giggly puddle again as Ena attacked her with kisses.

While a happy Kanade scrubbed lip gloss from her cheeks, Ena stood back as if admiring her work. “Sorry,” she apologized with a more relaxed kiss, “got too excited.”

“You’re fine, starlet.” Kanade pecked Ena’s forehead, cheeks still flaming.

Ena sighed. “Look, if you don’t want to wear it, I won’t make you. But we really do think you’re cute, whatever you wear.” That coy demeanor…

Kanade slumped forward and took her hands. “I think… I will wear it.” Eyes like sun-warmed earth lit up. “You and Mizuki put so much thought into it.”

“Really!?” Ena squeezed their hands, bouncing on her heels. Her face suddenly flushed, and she turned away with a glower. “I mean, Mizuki will be happy, I guess.”

Absolute. Drama. Queens. 

Neither of them can just sit still and take it, they are either flailing and squealing like it’s the one thing between them and spontaneous combustion or twitching violently and complaining nonstop (never meaning a word of course) 

Ticklish tummy solidarity. I don’t make the rules, sorry. 

Tha image of them just sitting next to each other, gradually hiking up each others shirt and tickling oh so softly without either laughing or saying a word. It’s kind of become an unspoken game for them at this point. The first one to giggle gets nonstop raspberries for at least 5 minutes. They have a pretty even win/loss streak. 

These two are stubborn, so tickle fights can get intense and often start with no warning. 

All it takes is a few fingers under either of their arms and suddenly its been an hour and both are exhausted and panting on the floor. 

Ena for sure plays dirty too. Does that thing where she pretends to be giving a break but right as Tsukasa inhales, she tickles him again. She’s also really mean by means of going for bad spots and not letting up for even a moment. 

It is no understatement to say that both of those make him lose his mind screaming. 

Pretty much the only advantages he has on her are physical. He’s got size, strength, and endurance but in every other sense she has him completely beat. Yeah he can pin her but that won’t stop the teasing, which is half the battle for him.

Neither of them mind how often he loses though.

I’ve talked on here before about Tsukasa being the most dramatic and playful, but also the sweetest ler out there. That 100% rings true when he goes for Ena too. 

She’s the type to be easily frustrated and then take that frustration out on herself. Luckily for her, her boyfriend hates that and has a much better solution for it (read: frequently tickling her to pieces)

Idk, I think Ena comfort tickles would just be a common thing for them in general. 

Tsukasa is one of the only people in her life who she feels comfortable enough to admit to that she kind of maybe just a little bit doesn’t hate being tickled. 

He, of course, understands that’s Ena-speak for “she loves to be tickled. It makes her happy.” He also knows she’s frequently in need of comfort. 

Body image issues? Soft tickles everywhere she’s insecure while he whispers how pretty his girlfriend is. Insecure about her art? Tickling her until she forgets and saying the corniest stuff like “if your art is half as lovely as that laugh, then you have no reason to worry.” Trouble waking up? Try staying in bed when you’re too busy squirming. 

It is a miracle she hasn’t burnt to a crisp yet with how easily he can make her blush.

Another embarrassing thing he does is the theatrics.

He just makes.. Such a big deal about how fun it is for both of them and is clearly so engrossed in it. 

Playing characters and high pitched “kitchi kitchi” noises serve to remind Ena exactly what’s going on and exactly why she’s not pulling away.

The worst part for her is the fact that he’s not even trying to fluster her with the tickling. It’s just an added bonus if/when he notices it. He’s just so affectionate she can’t help getting all embarrassed.

Ena, on the other hand, does not at all take Tsukasa’s sweetness into account when he winds up on the receiving end. 

Ena loves to draw on Tsukasa in general, like doodling on his arms/hands whenever she's feeling antsy but especially loves being able to take the time to make use of his stomach when she's in the mood for a longer “project”.

Really it's just an excuse to see/touch Tsukasa's tummy but he doesn't need to know that. Sometimes she doesn't even draw, just traces shapes with her finger or a clean paintbrush.

“Such a beautiful and strong canvas. So perfect for me” is all that needs to come out of her mouth for Tsukasa to be ready and able to do anything she could ever want.

She’s one to keep her nails always well done and pretty and that fact has nearly sent Tsukasa to his grave so many times. 

He already loves how they look, he can recognize the artistry and has even considered having his own done. But when they’re wiggling towards him? He’s an absolute goner. She knows exactly how to pinch his ribs and slowly drag them around. 

To the point where he’s associated that with her nails and even looking at her hands too long can put him in a lee mood. 

Tickles to get him to shut up. 

Tsukasa has a unique talent of being able to fill any room’s silence with his voice going on and on and on. Ena has a talent for filling the room with his laughter instead.

Tsukasa can get kind of overenthusiastic and reactive at times, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes though, feeling so much at once is overwhelming and what better way of tiring yourself out than annoying your vindictive girlfriend into wrecking you to pieces?

A classic favorite of his is to poke Ena over and over, sometimes somewhere ticklish to make her jumpy or even just her cheek just to be annoying. 

Because he lacks subtlety, she always knows what’s going on. 

Whether she draws it out and makes him admit it or immediately gets him back depends on her mood. Tsukasa loves both regardless, it’s a win-win.

He gets downright whiney if she drags it on too long but still won’t ask. The best she’ll ever get is a little mumble.

When Ena is in the ever elusive “soft ler” mode, she has a tendency to become absolutely captivated with any smile of Tsukasa’s. She just wants to look at him all day. Every single one of his features is perfect to her. 

They were close to their home anyway. Not much longer until he could have some peace. Toya and him were planning to meet in the Sekai so that they could practice. They were performing a duet at the Live House, and while it wasn’t unusual for them to do so, Akito had suggested they make some adjustments and perfect some of the parts they’ve been struggling on.

“Say.. Akito.” Ena began, snapping her brother out of his reverie. He hummed, to show that he had heard and for her to continue. “You’ve been happier lately, you know?”

Akito was a little shocked to say the least. Had he really been that obvious? It was true that he was feeling a little more light recently but he hadn’t expected Ena to notice.

“You don’t have to act so surprised!” Ena pouted, crossing her arms. “It’s my duty as a big sister to pay attention to things like this.”

“Oh.”

“That’s how you’re going to respond? Come on, give me something here!” Ena squinted at him as if looking into his soul. Akito would be lying if the intense staring didn’t make him feel a little squeamish as he averted his eyes.

“I don’t know what you want me to say…” Akito mumbled, sighing in relief since they had finally made it to their house. Ena moved forward and he took a step back to make sure he wasn’t in her way.

“Hm.. perhaps.. are you in a relationship?” Ena wondered, thoughtlessly as she unlocked the doors. Akito flinched as a rosy blush blossomed on his cheeks. It wasn’t the question, per say, that made the boy blush, but it was who came to mind when she asked it.

“No, I’m not.” He said, keeping his voice as neutral as possible but he felt it waver at the end. It wasn’t as if he was lying. It’s true that he and Toya weren’t dating.. but he didn’t know if he could call what they were now just friendship. As soon as she pushed the door open, he dashed inside, dropping the bags on the living room floor.

Ena followed after him, shocked that he had run away. “Hey! That reaction is suspicious? Why are you so flustered?”

“I’m not flustered!” Akito shouted, keeping his eyes on his bedroom. He hoped that he could get in there and escape his sister.

“You are dating someone, aren’t you?! Who is it?” Ena pressed on, curious to know who it was who had stolen her little brother’s heart.

“No one.” He murmured as he made his way into his room. Before he could shut his door, though, Ena had slid her way in.

“Come on, tell your big sister~” Ena smiled, sweetly. Except Akito knew it was anything but sweet. He opted for ignoring her because she would have to get bored eventually, right? He sat down on his bed, scrolling through his phone, trying his best to hide his grin at Ena’s annoyed expression. “Who is it~?” She continued, poking him in the side to get his attention.

Neither of them expected the squeak that left Akito’s lips. She paused, seemingly processing what she had done before a mischievous smirk had fallen onto her face. Before he could do anything, she had already pounced on him, squeezing his sides. He cursed himself for letting today be the one day he wore a t-shirt and a thin jacket compared to the thick hoodies he would usually wear. Surely, they would have provided more protection against Ena’s tickling fingers better than this!

“F-fuhuhuck off..” He whispered, trying to hold his reactions in. While Ena knew he was ticklish, the absolute last thing he wanted to do was talk about… feelings with her of all people. Sure, he knew he would have to talk to someone about his long-time crush on his partner but he would have to be crazy before he would admit it.

“Who’s the one who’s making my brother blush so much?” Ena asked, kneading her fingers between his sides and hips.

“Nohohoho ohohone!” Akito cried when he found he unable to hold his giggles in any longer. He tried prying Ena’s hands from his torso but his arms felt like jelly.

“That’s a lie and you know it!” Ena half-heartedly glared at her brother, deciding now would be a good time to get into a more secure spot so he couldn’t knock her off the bed. She moved towards the middle of his bed—which was fairly large, sitting on his legs.

“Ehehehehena! Dahahahamit, stahahap!” Akito pounded his fists on the bed when Ena decided to scratch at his tummy, noting how his laughter had significantly rose. It had been one of his bad spots since they were young and Ena had never been shy to exploit that knowledge. She had recently gotten her nails done with Mizuki, which she knew would drive Akito crazy.

“Come on~ you know what you have to do to make this all stop.” Ena laughed as her finger danced around his navel. Teasingly and slow, almost torturous for the male.

“Nohohoho, gehehehet awahahahay f-from mehehehe!” Akito shrieked, trying to twist away. He kicked his legs but they didn’t really go anywhere since she was sitting on them.

“Tickle, Tickle~ Honestly, Akito, you’re so ticklish I’m surprised you’re still not giving up.” Ena teased, relishing in how she had successfully made her brother more flustered than he already was. “Well, I guess I could understand it. You’ve always been a stubborn boy.”

“S-shuhuhuhut uhuhuhup!” He spat, trying to send her a glare but with the redness of his cheeks and the smile on his face, it didn’t look at all threatening.

“So rude~ I’ve been so kind to you, I haven’t even gone for your worst spot.” Ena rolled her eyes, causing Akito’s own eyes to widen frantically when he had realized he had just dug his own grave.

“Dohohon’t y-yohohou dahaHAHAHARE- wahAHAHAIT!” Akito squealed— yes, squealed, embarrassingly high pitched as Ena reached to poke and squeeze his thighs. The thighs. They had always been a god awful spot for him that even Toya was kind enough to give him enough mercy to not tickle them there most of the time.

“You did this to yourself, Akito. You know, I’ll stop if you just tell me who you’re in love with!” Ena reminded him, luckily, because he was going crazy and any longer, he might’ve forgotten what got him into this mess in the first place.

“NAHAHAHAHA NOHOHOHOHO EHEHEHENA!!” Hysterical giggles poured from the male’s mouth as his shook with laughter. He was beginning to feel almost light headed from laughing too much and his face felt sore. Without any pride left, he shouted, “IHIHITS TOHOHOYA!”

As promised, Ena stopped tickling her brother immediately. She barely gave him any time to recover from his near-death experience (which was definitely not exaggerated) before she spoke up.

“Toya, huh?” She smiled, content with herself. She scratched her chin as she gave him some thought. “I guess it does make sense.”

“Makes sense?” Akito questioned.

“I’ve never seen your emotions so open with anyone else but him.” She replied, as Akito pondered that. Was that true? He never really noticed but perhaps it was because he was too busy pining.

Ena spoke again before he could. “Are you going to confess?”

“No way.” He said, gruffly as if it was odd for her to even ask such a question in the first place. To be honest, he had always given the idea of confessing some thought, he always been too afraid to.

“Ehhh, why? You’ve definitely got a chance!” Ena rested her chin to her head as she scooted to sit beside Akito. Akito turned to her.

“Really?” He asked, though he felt he may have sounded too excited. He coughed, awkwardly.

“I always thought so. I think you should give it a shot.” Ena giggled, waiting for whatever Akito would say next. He yawned; the tickling really had done a number on him.

“Mm.” He hummed, not quite ready to reveal that he thought there would be no way someone like Toya could ever reciprocate his feelings.

“Well, I’m tired.” Ena broke the silence after it had been a couple of minutes. She stood up, stretching. It wasn’t too late but she had been shopping all day so she decided it would be nice to take a nap. Akito said nothing in response as Ena made her way to the door. He picked up his phone before Ena turned around. “Oh, and Akito,” He looked up. “If you do decide to confess and something happens, I’ll be here for you, you know.”

With that, she left and if ever asked about that night again, Akito would never say that he smiled upon hearing that.

——

A week later, when Ena saw Toya and Akito holding hands, she sent him a knowing smile. Akito didn’t exactly reciprocate it but he expressed enough that she had played some hand in it.

Mizuki x Ena (romantic)

Lee: Mizuki

Ler: Ena

Warnings: Tickles! I ended up using she/her pronouns for Mizuki out of habit, I hope that's alright lol

___________________________________________

It was a good night, Ena had invited her girlfriend to spend the night at her house to spend some quality time... or whatever couples do. When Mizuki came over, she seemed like her usual cheery and very teasy self. Not like Ena minded the teasing though. But she couldn't help but feel like there was something... different about her. She wasn't sure why... but Mizuki's smile looked almost... forced. Was there something wrong?

As they sat down in Ena's bed, curiosity got the best of her and she asked "What's up with you?".

"Hmm? What do you mean?".

"You're acting a bit odd..."

Mizuki pondered for a moment before smirking "Maybe you're the odd one here~". She playfully stuck her tongue out at her girlfriend as she plopped down on her back, folding her arms behind her head.

Ena rolled her eyes in annoyance, she knew Mizuki had a hard time opening up, but she also hated feeling useless in these kinds of situations. She wanted to help but there wasn't much to do when she didn't know the root of her problem. Well... maybe there was something she could do after all...

Ena crawled over to Mizuki, taking a seat across her hips.

"Oh? What's this for?~" Mizuki sent her a teasy smirk, causing Ena to blush a bit. But she tried to keep calm, not wanting to get deterred of her goal.

"If you want to be so teasy then it's only fair that I return the favor" Ena tried to give off a serious look but couldn't help but smile as she descended her fingers towards Mizuki's belly.

"Eh?! E-nanahahan! Not thahat!" Mizuki bursted out into bright giggles at the sudden tickling, trying to grab at Ena's wrists, but the older one was too fast for her.

"Aww what's wrong? Not so teasy now, huh?~" Ena smirked down at them as she teasingly traced her index finger around her navel, causing her girlfriend to squeal through her giggle fit.

"Ah-!! T-this isn't fahahair!" Mizuki threw her head back in laughter, her cheeks growing pink ever so slightly. With the new opening, Ena wormed her fingers up to Mizuki's neck, lightly scribbling all over it. "PFFT-! ENA NAHAT THEHEHERE!" poor Mizuki squealed and shook her head around as her laughter got more and more powerful with each ticklish touch.

"Wow, look at how sensitive you are here, it's so adorable~" Ena teased, enjoying the bright, bubbly laughter that came out of her girlfriend.

"AHAHAHAHA! E-ENA PLEHEHEASE!".

Once Ena noticed that Mizuki's eyes were getting watery, she slowed her fingers to a stop. Smiling down at them as Mizuki gasped for breath.

"Ahaha... w-what was that for?~".

"Just because... you look much better with a genuine smile~".

Mizuki felt a bit taken aback by the compliment, her face growing a bit red, causing Ena to chuckle. The brunnette layed down next to her, wrapping her in a soft embrace. Mizuki let out a sigh as she said "Thanks for that...", a soft smile sitting on her lips.

Ena smiled back, "No problem~" as they both remained in each other's presence for the rest of the night...
