🎂: Fop: A new wish (cause I’m hyperfixating WOO)

🧁: Dev

🍫: Peri

Summary: Dev is being sad. Sadder than usual. Peri helps.

A/N: my hyperfixations changing faster than life’s trajectory (I haven’t even finished the loud house yet here we are🫡) I needed some Lee Dev in my life so *yeets this fic in your general direction* (P.S we’ll say this takes place after the finale in an alternate timeline but I don’t think there’s any spoilers in here)

Doctor tickle monster

Dev was sad. That much Peri knew. I mean, not really ground-breaking; the kid was sad all the time. [even though he usually hides it behind anger, annoyance or apathy. Pushing people who try to help away because he never learned proper emotional regulation skills or how to communicate with people]

But it was a little.. more than usual. He had been pouting all day, hiding his sad eyes behind his sunglasses. When Peri Asked him what was wrong, at first the kid pushed him away- as he tends to do- but after a while he caved.

“It’s nothing, Peri- it’s stupid.”

“Your feelings aren’t stupid, kid. No matter what your dumb, pea-brained father says.”

That got a small huff of amused breath from the kid. “I know that, it’s just- there isn’t really a reason for me to be sad. Which is just making me more upset because I don’t know why I’m upset.”

The two fell into a small silence. Dev looked down at his shoes, embarrassed by the fact that his eyes were forming tears. Peri was thinking.. ‘how in the world do I cheer him up if there isn’t a problem for me to fix..?’ He thought for a moment, and then seemed to get an idea.

He made a ringing sound, and put a hand up to his ear in a phone gesture. “Brriiing, Brriing,” Dev looked up at his godfather, confused.

“Hello? Doctor? We have a level 5 situation here.”

‘What in the world is he doing?’

“What’s that? You’ll be here right away? Excellent! See you very soon.” He let his hand fall away from his ear, and then he turned around suddenly wearing a stethoscope, and spoke in a slightly different voice.

“Hello, I was called about a level 5 case of the blues?”

Dev raised his eyebrows and looked at him. “What?”

“Ah, you must be the patient! Your godfather gave me a call- said you had a case of the blues for no identifiable reason! So I’m here to help!

His curiosity officially peaked, Dev spoke, almost sarcastically. “And how are you gonna do that?”

“Simple! But first, I have to tell you something..” the ‘doctor’ gestured for Dev to come closer, and he did. Then the ‘doctor’ whispered to him,

“I’m no ordinary doctor- I’m Dr.monster-…” he paused for a moment, before scooping the kid in his arms and starting to vibrate his hand in his stomach “- Tickle monster!”

Dev burst into giggles at the touch, squirming slightly in the hold. “Peheheheheri! Whyhyhy thihihihis!!”

“I’m not Peri, I’m Doctor tickle monster- and because this is the number one treatment for cases of the blues! They do say laughter is the best medicine, after all!”

Although he wouldn’t admit it, even to himself, dev laughed slightly harder at the silly act his fairy godfather was putting on.

“Cohohohome ohohon! Quhuhit ihihit!!”

“I’m afraid I can’t do that- not until you are officially cured! And there’s still a ways to go until then!”

Dev kicked and pushed at Peri’s arms, but it was half-hearted at best. [Dev knew that he could wish for Peri to stop if he really wanted him too. Not that he would say he was enjoying himself]

“And there’s that precious smile! And you do have quite an adorable laugh if I do say so myself!”

Dev’s face went red at the comment, and he frantically tried to deny it. “I ahaham nohohohot cuhuhuhute!!

“Well, your giggles say otherwise~” Peri was having fun teasing and tickling his kid to pieces. It was nice to see him smiling and laughing and full of joy. Lord knows he needs it.

He could tell that the kid was having fun. If he wasn’t, Peri would’ve stopped. His goal was to cheer him up, not make him resentful or more upset.

Meanwhile, Dev was in such ticklish bliss agony, Giddy giggles and laughter poured out of him non-stop.

“Pehehehrihihi! Ihihihit tihihihickles!!”

“Well, duuuuhhh, that’s the point of me tickling you, kid.” At the words, Peri decided to up the ante a bit, moving his hands to his sides and squeezing gently, then moving his head to give the kid a massive raspberry right on the tummy.

Dev squealed, much louder laughter erupting from him without his permission. It tickled so BAD!

“EEEHHEEEEEE! PEHEHEHERIIHIII! THaHAT REHEALLY TIHIHICKLES EHHEHAHHAHAHA!”

“Aww really~? Good! OM NOm” Peri nibbled the kids tummy and made silly noises as he continued to tickle him silly.

Dev laughed and laughed. “Heheheheheee peheheriii StahahahaPpp!”

Peri relented for a moment, not entirely stopping, but moving to much gentler tickles, just lightly scribbling on the kids ribs.

“You cured? Are the blues allllll gone?”

“Yehehehes! Ahahall gohohone!”

“Are you suuuuureee~”

“Yehehehes! Yehehes ihihim suhuhure plehehase stohohop!” The kid giggled out, causing Peri to stop and set him back on the floor, the stethoscope gone.

Dev continued to giggle for a moment, leftover tingles still plaguing his torso.

But, he couldn’t deny the facts. He felt significantly better. He was smiling, and he found that even if he tried he couldn’t stop.

Peri flew next to him. “Feeling better?”

Dev blushed slightly, but still sighed out a “… yeah.”

“I’m glad. I’ll just have to give the good doctor a call every time you’re sad! ”

“Noooooooo” Dev whined, but he was still grinning ear to ear.

“Yes~,” Peri mocked, “new rule- no sadness allowed!! If I see a sad Dev- he gets alll the tickles until he feels better! I have a feeling we’re gonna see a lot more of that smile~~”

“Ugghhhhh” Dev whined again, clearly embarrassed.

Dev was smiling for a long time.

🎂: Fop; a new wish

🧁.Dev

🍫: Peri

Summary: Dev gets his first ever lee mood. He is confused.

A/N: yes I’m writing lee dev ler peri again, what it to ya! This fic takes place after the other two I wrote, I kinda got a timeline going. Also I hope someone gets my title 🙏 (btw it’s pronounced who’s-a-muh-what’s-it) I’m not super happy with the ending but eh.

(P.S I got so flustered writing this. Also, Beta read by @randommusicalfluff!)

A whosamawhatsit?

Dev felt strange.

As soon as he woke up, he felt… odd. In a way he couldn’t quite place.

His whole body was buzzing, he felt like he was a soda can that had been shaken. He felt light and airy, and almost bouncy?

He was also in a better mood than usual? He didn’t know why he was just… less meh. He actually woke up and smiled.

He stretched and got dressed, having an Au-pair bring him a donut for breakfast.

“Hey kid, G’morning!”

Dev looked up at Peri and smiled, giving him a small wave. “Good morning, Peri!”

Peri sensed something. He didn’t say anything. He wanted to be sure.

“Well someone’s chipper this morning!”

Dev hesitated and smiled. “Yeah.. guess I am!” Dev was confused. He felt so… odd. He felt like he wanted.. something? What was it…

The rest of the school day went as normal, but the whole time Dev was contemplating and confused. He noticed more as the day went on.. he found things funnier than he usually did, felt a need for physical contact. And that bubbly, fizzing feeling in his stomach grew, along with to a sense of longing. If only he could figure out what he wanted!

Peri observed throughout the day. His sense had never been wrong before, and it was blaring! This kid had a lee mood, he just knew it. Time to have a little chat!

After Dev and Peri had arrived back at the mansion, and entered Dev’s room, Peri started the conversation.

“So, Dev, how are you feeling?”

Dev looked up. “Hmm? Oh, I feel great, thanks for asking!” He answered genuinely, smiling.

“That’s good! But I meant.. feel any different than usual?”

Dev didn’t know how Peri knew, but he replied honestly anyway.

“Actually, yeah.”

“Hmmm, how so?”

“Well.. I’ve felt like.. buzzy? All day. Also pretty light. I’ve found things funnier than usual… and a sense of … longing? But I can’t figure out what it is that I’m longing for.”

“Ahh, my sensors never fail!” Dev looked confused. “Worry not, kid, for I know exactly what you want.”

“How do you know what I want when I don’t?”

“Well, you’re in a lee mood! And I always know when someone’s in a lee mood.”

“A.. whosamawhatsit?”

“Oh yeah you don’t know what that is, do you?”

Dev shook his head, intrigued and listening but also very confused.

“Well, A lee mood is when someone wants to be tickled!” Immediately Dev’s face burned as he realized that.. yup, that was what that sense of longing was about. “It often comes with buzzing or tingling sensations and a chipper attitude, which you have been displaying!”

Dev blinked, and let out a flustered, “….huh.”

“Sooooo?” Peri drawled, teasingly.

“So- what?” Deb responded, an eyebrow raised.

“Do you want me to tickle you?” Peri said, so casually, as if discussing the weather.

Dev blushed even more. “Uh- I- ummm-“ he didn’t quite know how to respond. He did. But he didn’t wanna say that! That’s embarrassing!

“I’m not hearing a no~”

Dev continued to stammer embarrassedly.

“Don’t worry, I won’t make ya say it!” Peri teased, pulling dev into a hold. Dev covered his red face with both hands.

Peri smiled and started scribbling against the kids ribs, causing his joyous giggles to pour from him.

“Are you gonna uncover your face so I can see your precious smile~”

“Nohohohohoho!”

“Oh, really~ are you suuureee~”

Dev mustered some false confidence. “Ye-yeahahahah!”

“Alright then, guess I’ll just have to make you.”

Right after he finished his sentence, Peri shot up to Dev’s underarms, digging with just enough pressure to really tickle.

Out of instinct, Dev’s arms shot down.

“Aww, too bad~ where’d all that stubbornness go?”

“I Cahahahahant hehehehehehelp ihihit!! Ehehahhaha!”

“Well, if you’re gonna try to be all stubborn then you should probably work on that.”

“Eehahahhaahahaaa! Gehehehet ouhohohout ohohohof thehehehre!!!”

Peri pouted sarcastically. “I can’t~ my hands are stuck~”

“Nohohoho thehehey ahahahrehehent yohohou liahahahar!”

Peri made a fake attempt to remove his hands, before once again teasing, “see? They won’t budge! Guess I’ll just have to stay here and tickle and tickle and tickle for the rest of time!”

“Nohohohoho!! Gohoho sohohomwhehehere ehehehelse!!

“Oh, so you don’t want me to stop? You just want me to go somewhere else? And why is that, this a bad spot~?” The lilt in his voice made Dev’s face go even darker than it was.

“Nohohohoho! Eheheheee!” Dev was kicking lightly, unable to stop the happy laughter and energy that flowed through his whole body.

“No? That’s not why? Hmm… is it because you want me to tickle your little tummy? Is that why? Does this cute little tummy want some of the tickly tickly tickles?”

Dev blushed even harder(somehow) and continued to kick lightly and giggle. But he didn’t deny it.

“Oh~~? No denial?? That must be it, then huh~”

“Eeeehehehehahaha! Dohohohohooonttt!” Dev whined through his bubbly giggles.

“Oh~ so you don’t want me to tickle your little belly? You don’t want me to make you feel all giggly and happy from the tummy tickles?”

Dev just whined again, laughter never stopping, smile never leaving his face.

“No? You do? Well, then why’d you say ‘don’t’ hmm? If you do want me to tickle your tummy, then don’t what?”

“Nohohoho tehehehaseihihing!!”

“Aww, I’m afraid I can’t do that~ teasing is part of the fun!”

Dev just giggled some more.

“Well~ if you want me to tickle tickle tickle that little tummy of yours, you’re gonna have to move your arms. I’m still stuck!”

“Ihihihi cahahahahant!!

“Well then, why don’t I help you out~” Peri kept tickling with his right hand, but took his left and pulled Dev’s arms up over his head, with no protest. He held them there for just a moment, before digging into Dev’s oh so ticklish tummy.

Dev’s giggles grew bigger, renewed by the change in sensation.

Dev couldn’t and wouldn’t say it out loud, but he was having the time of his life. The ticklish jolts sending through his stomach to the rest of his body, making him laugh and smile and kick joyfully. Forcing him to be happy, forcing him to giggle and laugh brightly. At some point he had tears of joy forming in his eyes.

He was so happy right now, and that made him embarrassed.

After a good few minutes off the tickles, Peri stopped, sensing that the kid had had enough.

He poofed up some water for him, encouraging him to drink slowly.

Dev giggled for a while, breathing heavily, trying to brush away left over tickles. He drank the water, let his face cool down, and allowed his giggles to slow and then stop.

“Welp, now you know what a lee mood is, right?”

“Yeah, yeah- I guess I do!” …. There was a pause, then a breath. “Do you get lee moods?”

Uh oh.

Happy birthday

🎂: Fop; a new wish

🧁: Dev

🍫:Peri

Summary: Dev had a horrible birthday. Thankfully Peri knows just what to do to put a smile on his face.

A/N: thanks for the ask! You’re correct, as my story line takes place post-finale, so this will be separate! I kinda wish it was longer, but other than that I’m pretty happy with how this turned out. Enjoy!

(P.S this one gets kinda sad but it ends in comfort.)

Happy birthday

Dev turned ten today.

Normally, a kid his age would be ecstatic about their birthday, but Dev- not so much.

The day had ended in shambles, with a horrible party princess, and then Dev finding out that the project his dad had been working on was about Hazel.

His dad cared more about his friend than he cared about him.

In a fit of rage and despair, Dev had sent Hazel away. He was so angry at her. But he felt really bad about it, too. He knows it’s not her fault.

Then he sent Peri away, right before scribbling all over the board with the notes for project H. Project Hazel.

Peri was listening in. The kid wished for him to leave him alone, not for him to go away entirely.

So, Peri gave him some space, but kept an eye and ear out from afar.

Dev was sobbing on his bed, he was so sad and angry. After a while as his rage cooled down, leaving just an empty sadness in its wake, he was kinda regretting sending Peri away. He could really use a hug right now.

He whispered so softly, not expecting anyone to hear him “I wish you were here, Peri..”

Peri heard the wish. And flew over to Dev.

“I heard a wish?” He spoke softly.

Dev looked up, slightly surprised. “I- I thought I sent you away.”

Peri’s eyes softened even more than they already were. “You did. So I gave you some space, but I was still looking out for you.”

“… can I have a hug?” The child whispered, tears straining his voice that was so quiet, as if he was scared for someone to hear him.

“Of course, kid.” Peri flew down to the bed where Dev had his knees to his chest, and then opened his arms, allowing him to fall into his shoulder.

They sat for a while like that, Dev silently crying into Peri’s shoulder, and Peri just giving him the comfort of a nice warm hug, speaking soft encouraging words.

Eventually, Peri decided he needed to cheer this kid up. He wasn’t allowed to kill dale, so he thought of a different way.

Without moving Dev from the hug, peri slooooowly starts to walk his fingers up the kids sides.

At first, Dev didn’t notice, but then eventually he let out a puff of air, “Periii.. th’ tickles..” he muttered lazily.

Peri smiled. “I know.” Peri eased into light scribbles, causing the small smile on his godkids face to grow, his giggles finally being fully formed.

“C’mohohon peheheri! Quhuhuihit ihit.”

“Nuh-uh. You need some laughs right now, and I’m here to provide them.”

Dev stopped protesting after that. If he was being honest with himself, it actually felt quite nice. He was able to forget about the horrible day he’d had and just giggle for a while.

Peri decided to throw some teasing onto the mix. “Tickle tickle tickle~~” the words got a giggly whine from the other.

“Dohohoont tehehease..”

“Why not? Do my silly little words make the tickle tickle tickles worse~”

“Yehehehesss.”

“Well too bad. Ima do it anyway. I’m gonna tickle you until all the sadness is gone~”

Dev just let it happen. He was giggling softly at the gentle tickles, letting his worries melt away.

“It’s gonna be okay, Dev. You’re gonna be okay.”

Eventually, Peri stopped, still hugging his godkid.

Dev softly spoke out a “thanks.. I needed that.”

“No problem, kid. Happy birthday.”

🎂:Fop: A new wish

🧁: Dev

🍫: Peri

Summary: Dev hasn’t had a good laugh in a while, Peri thinks that is blasphemy.

A/N: based on this wonderful art piece by my mootie @randommusicalfluff . Although it has a similar plot, this is not part of the little timeline I have going for my fop fics thus far. Also, yes I know I’ve written the same lee/ler dynamic for all of these, no I do not care. Enjoy! :3

P.S I kinda wish it was longer but whatevs

Laugh a little!

It was a day like any other. Dev went to school, hung out with Hazel for a while, then went home. All very normal.

He didn’t really have any feelings on the day. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t good either. Just kinda meh.

He was bored. He didn’t feel like doing much of anything, so he just stared at the ceiling.

***

Peri looked on as Dev went about his day, going through the motions. The kid hadn’t changed expression since he woke up. Just a flat, tired face.

After school, the kid just layed down and stared at the ceiling, doing absolutely nothing.

Peri tried to suggest some activities, get the kid to have some fun, but all ideas were denied. Peri decided that Dev needed a dopamine rush. And he knew just how to do it.

“Hey dev.”

Dev slowly looked over at his Godparent, expression unchanging. “Yeah.” His voice was monotone, almost dead sounding.

“How long has it been since you’ve had a good, long laugh?”

Dev shrugged as much as he could while lying down. “I dunno. A while, I guess.” It was a very bland response. This whole day had been pretty bland. “Why.” It was a question, but his voice didn’t raise at the end like a question was supposed to.

“Ah, just curious.” It was as he thought. Peri knew what this kid needed.

Peri waited, as he wanted it to be a surprise. He waited until he had a feeling that Dev had forgotten about the short conversation.

Then, without warning, he scooped Dev off his bed, locking his arm around one of Dev’s.

“What, Peri-“ Before Dev had a chance to finish his words, Peri used a touch of magic to make little, purple feathers brush across Devs ears, neck and face.

Dev clamped his mouth shut. He didn’t want to give Peri the satisfaction of his laughter. It didn’t take long before he was shaking with the effort, his face going red.

“C’mon Dev, laugh a little! You look like you need it!” Peri teased, but also genuinely encouraging the kid to let himself laugh

After Peri took his free hand and scribbled against the kids side and ribs, the dam broke.

“Cccrahahahahap! Ehahahahaa!”

“There we go! It must’ve been killing you to keep it all in like that!”

Dev tried to glare at the fairy, but it didn’t pack the same punch when his face was adorned with a bright smile. Light, happy giggles poured out of Dev, and he made no effort to get away, only flapping his arms to stim.

“Whahahahat thehehehe heheheheck, Peheheherihi!!” He giggled out frantically, not understanding the purpose of the sudden attack.

“You said it had been a while since you had a good laugh! I thought that it was about time that changed. Besides, as I said earlier, you looked like you needed it! A nice dopamine rush!”

Dev continued to giggle and squirm, the tingling feeling coming from his neck and ears pulling giggles and squeaks from him without end.

Peri decided to change things up a little, and then he magiced up more feathers, which then flew towards the boys torso.

Dev’s giggles heightened and became faster, and somehow sounded even happier. Dev used his free arm to hug himself, the feeling of laughter being so overwhelming in the best way.

“Hey kid, why don’t we play a game?”

“Whahahahahat?”

“A game!”

“Lihihihike whahahahat kihihind ohof gahahame?”

“Ah, I’m so glad you asked! This game is a little something I like to call ‘Claw!’ And the best part- all you have to do is laugh!”

“Wahahait, whahaHAHA-“ The ginger was cut off by his own increased laughter, as Peri made a clawing gesture with his hand and then clawed gently at his tummy.

“I gotta get aaalll the laughter out of ya! And a lot is hiding in this here tummy!”

“PeheheheherihihiheeE!”

“That’s my name!”

“Thahahahahat tihihihickles sohoho muhuhuch!!” What else was he supposed to say? Thats all that was running through his head at the moment- just how much it tickled.

He felt so light and happy, every nerve in his body screaming at him to laugh himself silly. Which is exactly what he did. Laugh. And then laugh some more.

“Aww, does it? Too bad, there’s still tons of giggles trapped in here! I gotta get em all out! We wouldn’t want them stuck in there, now would we?”

“Whahahahat dohohoes thaHAt evehen mehEHEAN”

“You don’t know what happens when giggles get trapped?”

“Nohohoho!”

“Well, let me tell you.” His voice grew a fake ominous tinge. “When giggles get trapped.. they fester. They don’t show up immediately, you might not even realize they’re there. But secretly, they’re growing, and growing, and growing until they’re so big they can no longer stay. That’s when they-“ He paused to blow a raspberry on the kids tummy, causing his laughter to peak once more. “Burst out of ya! And they don’t stop either- you’ll be trapped in perpetual laughter!”

“Buhuhut ihihisnt thahat whahaht yohohoure dohohoing rihihight nohohow! Trahahahapihing mehe ihin lahahaughteheher?”

“Huh.” Was all Peri replied with, continuing to tickle his godkid silly.

After a while, Peri could see that Dev was running out of breath, and stopped. He set him back down on his bed, where he continued to giggle, holding his tummy that still felt all fluttery.

“Hehahahaha… Whoo.” He breathed out the last of his giggles. “What was that all about?”

“You seemed kinda.. meh. Thought you could use a bit of laughter.” There was a small pause. “Feel any better?”

Dev smiled. “I guess so.”

The rest of the day didn’t feel so bland anymore.

Decided to write a short little thing

Sfw tickling
