“B-b-but I-I don’t r-react, and I-I’m n-not th-that ti-ticklish…” Evan tried to reason, the hint of sadness still present in his voice, despite how flustered he was. 

“Evan, you’re perfect, just the way you are,” Jared reassured, squeezing Evan tighter.

“And you do react, you realize that, don’t you? All you’re litter squirms, blushes, and the looks you get in your eyes are reactions,” Connor added, following Jared’s motions.

“Evan, you are such an amazing person, and an even better lee,” Jared comforted, leaning against Evan’s shoulder.

“But how can you be a good lee if you’re barely ticklish?” Evan argued, hiding his face in the crook of Jared's neck, but leaning his body weight against Connor. 

“Evan, you’re plenty ticklish, I mean look at this,” Connor promised, squeezing Evan’s hips. Evan let out small giggles and shifted his hips around.

“Yeah! Look at how ticklish you are bubby,” Jared agreed, adding scribbles across Evan’s stomach making him let out a string of high pitched giggles and try to bring his legs up. 

“Buhuhuhut Ihihi dohohohon’t rehehehact…” Evan tried to reason with them while he was writhing around. Connor and Jared just looked at him with confusion.

“What do you mean you don’t react?” Jared asked with a teasing tone, “You’re literally squirming and giggling right now.” Evan opened his mouth to retort, but once he felt squeezes on his thighs, he quickly clamped his mouth shut again. 

“Aw, what’s wrong? Can baby not take the tickles?” Connor playfully teased in a baby voice. Evan’s quickly hid his scarlet face in his arm.

“Ihihihihihim nohohot ahahaha bahahahaby,” he pouted through his laughter.

“No, he didn’t say you were a baby, he said you were baby,” Jared attempted to explain, shaking his hand into Evan’s stomach. All he was met with was a shift away from his hand and a confused face from Evan.

“What he’s trying, and failing, to explain is that you’re not a baby, but you’re our baby,” Connor helped, going back to squeezing Evan’s hips. Evan’s face became so red it honestly looked like he might explode. Connor and Jared slowed their hands to a stop so they could coo over Evan.

“Aw, Con, look at how red he is, isn’t it adorable?” Jared said, chuckling when Evan curled into a ball again.

“I know,” Connor joined in, “He’s blushing so hard it’s reached his ears.” Evan let out a noise that sounded suspiciously like a dying cat.

“Noooooooyouguysarebeingillegal,” he murmured out, trying to hide his face in his knees. They simply ignored him and continued the teasing.

“I love how he thinks that hiding his face in his knees will keep us from seeing that adorable blush,” Jared continued on, smiling fondly when Evan squirmed and whines, refusing to uncurl from his ball.

“Exactly, even if we can’t his beautiful blushing face,” Connor complimented, which only made Evan blush more, “We can always see the blush that creeps onto his neck and ears.”

“You’re both being mean,” Evan whined, covering his neck, while keeping his face buried in his neck. Jared pulled him into a tight hug, chuckling at Evan’s remark.

“Aw, Evan, it’s not mean if you love it,” Jared teased in a sing-song voice. Evan let out a small, ‘hmph’ at the tease and turned and buried himself in Connor’s chest. Connor smiled lovingly and pet Evan’s hair, sometimes reaching the nape of his neck, which made him scrunch up and gasp. 

“You know what else I love?” Connor asked Jared pointedly, still not stopping the actions on Evan. Jared smirked at Connor, and received a similar smirk back. 

“What’s that?” Jared asked, giving Evan’s side a small poke. Evan let out a small squeak and batted at Jared’s hands. 

“How if you even begin to talk about tickling him he’s already squirming, and you don’t even have to touch him.” Evan whined and tried to keep himself from squirming around as he moved away from Connor and into Jared. 

“Oh yeah, I forgot about that,” Jared replied with a warm smile, rubbing Evan’s back, “I’ve always loved that. It’s so cute when you start talking about walking your fingers up and down his ribs he turns into a squirmy little ball.” Right on cue, Evan began squirming around and wrapping his arms around his ribs. Both Connor and Jared laughed at the adorable sight in front of them. Evan let out another, ‘hmph’ before turning and settling himself into Connor once again. Both of their hearts melted at the sight of this and they couldn’t help but pull him into another tight hug. Once they got over the adorableness of Evan, they picked up right where they left off.  

“Yeah, as great as the ribs thing is, it’s amazing when you talk about skittering your fingers all over his stomach,” Connor teased with a smirk, a smile overtaking his face once Evan let out a small whine and squirmed his way back over to Jared. 

“Oh yeah, his stomach is adorable, but the best one is when you start talking about squeezing his hips.” Evan let out a big whine as he squirmed all over the place, pulling his knees to his chest. 

“Shut up,” Evan whined for what had to be the billionth time.

“Make us,” Connor retorted, smiling when Evan stopped squirming enough to bury his face into Connor’s neck. 

“Connor that was mean, you know that Evan is far too flustered to make us,” Jared quipped, placing a loving hand on Evan’s back. Evan blushed again and buried his face deeper into Connor’s neck. “Do you want us to stop teasing?” Evan nodded, refusing to remove his face from Connor’s neck.

“Well do you want more tickles then?” Connor asked, grabbing Evan’s hand and squeezing it gently. Evan began sputtering as his face went bright red. Jared cooed over Evan, petting his hair once again. As soon as Evan regained his composure enough he nodded towards Connor. Connor smiled at him with adoration and gently laid him down across his and Jared’s laps. Evan was already smiling and squirming from anticipation. Connor gently pinned Evan’s arms over his head and Jared draped a leg over Evan’s legs. Evan squirmed a bit and began giggling despite the fact that no one was touching him yet. Jared started first, he hovered his hands over Evan’s stomach, wiggling his fingers teasingly. Evan yelped and squirmed away, causing a roar of laughter from the other two. Connor joined in, copying Jared’s actions on Evan’s ribs. Evan was a hiccupy, squirmy mess in just a couple of seconds. 

“Just do it!” Evan called out through his giggles. Jared and Connor smirked at him.

“Do what?" Jared teased with a sickenly sweet tone. Evan blushed and shook his head. 

“Yeah, what are you talking about?” Connor asked, his tone matching Jared’s perfectly. Evan whined and scrunched his eyes shut. That was his big mistake. The second his eyes shut Jared started squeezing at Evan’s hips, making him buck around and try to move towards Connor. And Connor vibrated his hands into Evan’s stomach which made him arch his back and let out a string of high pitched giggles. They both smiled lovingly at Evan’s reaction. He may not have the biggest reactions, but he definitely has some of the cutest. Jared smirked and pushed Evan’s shirt up a bit, still pinching his hips with his other hand. Evan’s squirming immediately intensified.

“Nohohohohoho Jahahahahred dohohohohohon’t,” Evan warned, trying to sound intimidating, though the giggles prevented him from doing that. Jared simply ignored Evan’s threats and leaned down to blow a raspberry into Evan’s stomach. Evan squealed and tried to squirm away. Connor grinned widely and quickly began cooing at the sight in front of him.

“Aww Evan, you look so freaking cute. Your face is bright red, and you’re squirming all over the place, oh and the laughter is so adorable.” Evan shook his head, giggling too hard to even begin thinking about saying words. After a little while Jared stopped with the raspberries, but as soon as he did he went right back to pinching at his hips and Connor followed suit, going back to tickling Evan’s stomach. Evan giggled happily, a wide, child-like smile stuck on his face. Once Evan’s struggling went down Jared and Connor unpinned him and Evan quickly curled into a ball, but made no other move to stop them. They both gave him an adoring smile, lightening up on their teasing causing giggles to fade away.

“You need a break?” Jared asked, stilling his fingers all together. Evan nodded, the beginning of tears formed in his eyes. Connor pulled back as well and helped Evan sit up. Evan panted a little bit, the smile still overtaking his face. Connor smiled and wrapped an arm around Evan while Jared got up to get him some water. 

“W-will you guys give me more later?” Evan asked, blushing as soon as he did. Both Jared’s and Connor’s hearts melted.

“Aw Evan, of course we will,” Jared reassured, handing him a glass of water. “As soon as you’re ready.” Evan nodded and quickly drank the water down. Jared and Connor sat and held Evan’s hands, waiting for his breath to get back to normal. Once Evan got everything back to normal he nodded again.

“O-okay I’m ready.” 

“Do you want to be pinned?” Connor asked him gently. Evan shrugged but then shook his head. They nodded and Evan laid back down. They started off slow, lightly tracing over his sides and neck. Evan let out a small yelp and began squirming a bit, a smile already coming back to his face. They slowly picked up speed, moving the traces to his ribs and and underarms. Evan tried to turn himself over to block the tickles but Connor and Jared prevented him from doing that. Evan gave an occasional squeal or squeak when they hit a particularly sensitive spot, but otherwise he made no noise. Jared and Connor thought it was the cutest thing they had ever seen. Because along with him not giggling came him scrunching his nose up adorably, his mouth open like he’s laughing, which means he has the same happy look on his face, his eyes scrunching shut tightly to try to distract himself from the feeling attack his nerves, but the best part of it was how evident it was that he was having a great time. The most defense he would provide to himself was the weak attempt at trying to flip over, and curling himself into a ball that did absolutely nothing to protect him. Otherwise, he never tried to shove either of them away, tried to block his tickle spots, or any other method of blocking the tickles. They looked at him with adoration for what had to be the millionth time that day and continued on. After a little more of the light traces Jared and Connor moved to gently pinching at his knees, thighs, and ribs. Evan’s squirming increased a little bit, and he began letting out light, airy giggles. Jared gave Evan the same look you give a small puppy when he let out a loud squeal when Jared squeezed the dead center of his thighs.

“Connor!” Jared said happily, “Did you hear that!?” Connor looked at him the same way he was looking at Evan.

“No, I don’t think I did, maybe you should do it again,” Connor replied with a smirk. 

“Nonononononononono you really shouldn’t!” Evan said panicked, though the smile on his face gave way to his real emotions. Jared squeezed the spot that he had before causing the same reaction. Connor immediately began cooing over Evan.

“That was so cute! Oh my goodness that was adorable!” Evan’s face was so red he looked like he had a two hundred degree fever. Jared looked between the two of them with immense happiness. He sat and wondered how he could be so lucky to be with the two most adorable people on the planet. Once Evan recovered from the blush and Connor recovered from the adorableness they resumed their tickling, this time on his hips and stomach. Evan quickly resumed emitting the string of high pitched giggles. Connor switched from vibrating his hand into Evan’s stomach to send rapid pokes all over his stomach. Evan flinched away after every poke. They smiled happily at their little lee and continued until Evan called for another break. They helped him sit up again and quickly engulfed him in a hug. 

“You have fun?” Connor asked petting his hair, smiling when Evan leaned his head on Connor’s head. Evan let out a big yawn before nodding. They both smiled at him and grabbed his hands again.

“You sleepy baby?” Jared asked, using his other hand to rub his back. Evan nodded and yawned again, nuzzling himself into Connor even more.

“Here, lay down,” Connor said gently. Evan did as he was told, with his head in Connor’s lap, and his legs in Jared’s. As soon as he laid down Connor began gently rubbing his back and Jared grabbed one of his hands lovingly, and used his other hands to trace lightly over Evan’s sides making him smile sleepily. Within minutes Evan was asleep peacefully, the smile still on his face. The two of them looked at him happily and stopped tracing his sides and rubbing his back. Then they looked at each other happily, like proud parents, linked their hands and Jared leaned his head on Connor’s shoulder. Within another few minutes the two of them were asleep too, smiles matching Evan’s on each of their faces.
