OOOOOOOOO OKAY. Despite these two being in my top three favs, I don't know that I've ever thought of them together, so I will do my best.

My first thought is that they both completely overthink the whe tickling thing in COMPLETELY opposite directions. Haruka is concerned she's coming on too strong about liking it and wanting to tickle/be tickled by Shiho, and Shiho is mortified attempting to express how much she likes it too. But once it comes to a point where someone (probably Haruka. Shiho is taking that to the grave) gets concerned enough to have a conversation, they talk and get things worked out.

Shiho has a harder time accepting/admitting she likes it and Haruka is so so so patient. She encourages Shiho to tickle her and is super careful not to overwhelm her when she's tickling back. So so so so so many reassurances and "take your time"s Haruka would love to just gently tickle and trace along Shiho's back and neck while they talk about their days. HC that Shiho has to be in a very specific mood for rough tickles so she either lers or lets Haruka turn her into a mushy pile of sweet giggles.

Shizuku TOTALLY tells on Shiho to Haruka and just gushes about how sweet her laugh is and how happy she is that the two are so close and everything under the sun about how cute Shiho is. Saki is also guilty of the same things, but considerably less so, however she will be more direct and mean about it, telling Haruka her worst spots and exactly how to destroy her.

Shiho LOVES using it to make Haruka relax. Just the knowledge that Haruka is happy and *she's* the one that caused it makes her really really happy. When Shiho's feeling particularly playful or in need of revenge, she'll sneak up behind her and taze her sides and then get beet red when the person she deliberately tried to make laugh, actually laughs and doubles over.

Sometimes Haruka has a bad day and has a little trouble communicating that so she'll hover around Shiho until she notices something is up before finally Shiho talks to her about it and finishes by raising her hands up in a silent little offer to wreck Haruka until she can't even remember what was upsetting her.

Dear anon, you have my undying appreciation, truly. Enjoy my rambling thoughts.

She is the definition of a sweet lee. Legit. I love her so much.

In general she is very giggly and An in particular LOVES to take advantage of that. Also really likes being tickled, so it works perfect for the both of them.

I could also see Akito really enjoying doing it to mess with her. Not in a mean way ofc, but just poking/grabbing her tummy as he passes because she goes BRIGHT red.

She's the type to have all physical signs of shyness (blushing, hiding her face, having trouble talking, etc.) but as long as she's comfortable, doesn't have a whole lot of trouble with it. Also has a very high pitched and squeaky laugh that she's still learning to like.

For just about every pjsk character, I have one HC that I cling to for dear life with everything I have in me. For Kohane, its HORRIBLY ticklish cheeks, like her own hair gets her sometimes bad. Akito and An both really like to (gently) pinch her cheeks. It just gets her so giggly and embarrassed.

I love her and need to hear her laughing. I love her

In honor of Valentine's Day, I divided all of the pjsk characters into romantic pairings in accordance with my own personal taste (as much as it pained me to split up HaruAn and Poly/need) and will have, as scheduled, a little headcanon post for the couple. I did NOT mean to end up with so many rare pairs but them's the breaks I guess. Enjoy.
