“I’m your brother!! You can tell me anything.”

“I know, but…it’s dumb..”

“Don’t say that, it’s not dumb at all stop beating yourself up!!”

“But it is!! It’s stupid & I shouldn’t even be upset about it-“

“Heyy what did I say? If you don’t stop bullying yourself you know what I’ll have to do!”

“What? No- don’t! Seriously it’s not even that big of a deal I’m just overreacting!”

“Come onn it’s brother tradition~!” Kel sang.

“No!!”

“Heroo~~” he raised his wriggling fingers & grinned at his brother, whose pout was now curling up at the corners to form a slightly nervous smile.

“K-Kehel dohon’t!”

“Don’t whattt?” Hero cringed as the younger grew closer.

“Tihickle me! WaIT-“

“If you say so!!” Kel quickly darted his fingers to his brothers sides, starting to squeeze & tase as the other burst into laughter.

“Nohohoho Kehel quihihit it!” He squirmed against the couch reaching blindly for the attackers wrists & sinking further into the pile of pillows under him.

Kel laughed along as his fingers crawled under Hero’s shirt & skittered across the ticklish skin, making the other squeal & kick adorably.

“KeHEL dohont it tihickLES- AHAH NOHOT THERE!” He squawked, barking out in loud laughter once his brother found his way up his ribs, circling around a sensitive hip with the other hand.

“I don’t know Hero, you seem to be enjoying this if you ask me!” He giggled at the other’s embarrassed face.

“Hey waHATCH it yohou little shihit” the older boy said as a seemingly empty threat, given his wide smile & bright red cheeks.

“Listen, I don’t know if this is just me but you don’t really look like you could do much right now judging by thAHAT FAHACE-“ Kel’s elbows shot to his sides once a sudden & unbearably ticklish sensation spread across his torso.

“WaiHAHAIT IM SOHORRY HehERO!” The teenager curled into a ball of snorts & cackles as his older brother spidered around his stomach, pinching gently at every sensitive spot he could find.

“I warned you!” He smirked as the other slammed his fist against the pillows & shook his chest with ticklish mirth.

“YoUHOURE SUHUch a diCK!” He screeched out.

“Oh I’m the dick? For getting my very ticklish brother back after being wayy too cocky??” He scribbled up the boy’s ribs, poking at his underarms.

“I’d say that’s quite reasonable.”

Kel’s laughter raised in pitch as he blabbered with giggles & petty complaints.

“..dihick”

“Okay, that’s it. You’re done, smiley.” Hero held the other’s wrists together in a loose grip, slowly bringing them above his head & hovering a hand over his now exposed underarms.

“Nononohoho dohONt thahats so bahad HEherO-!” The elder lowered his wriggling fingers closer to Kel’s death spot as he watched in fear & anticipatory belly laughter.

Before he stopped, & dashed to his stomach making him jolt his legs to his chest & whine, “Youhouhou fuhucker!”

Hero cackled at the miniature athlete’s response, asking, “What’s the magic word?”

Kel squeezed his eyes shut in embarrassment, “Ohoh my GOHOD”

“Go on~!” He traced a line up his flanks to his sides, tickling lightly up the other’s torso (which wasn’t helping.)

“Juhust do ihit! Hehero!!”

“Do whatt?” He grinned with affection.

“Tihickle meEHE!” Kel threw his head back in deafening laughter, howling once his brother began to scribble & drill into his worst spot. His face burned a bright pink, as much as his ego suffered he knew it’d cheer Hero up, it always did & that was what mattered. (He also loved it. A lot. But he’d never say that.)

A minute or two of 90 decible squeals & useless protests later, Hero finally let up & smiled at the ticklish giggling mess that was his brother, ruffling his hair as he held his sides with left over ghost tickles.

“Fuhuck you, man. Were you tryihing to kihill me or what?” He snickered.

“You asked for it! Plus, “it’s tradition” right?” He snarked, “pft-hehey get ohoff!!” Kel giggled mischievously as Hero pushed the sneaking hand off his side.

“You feeling any better?” He asked.

• As a Lee, Mari is just unable to stay still. She will kick, she will squirm, wiggle around and roll away if she has the chance. Tickling her usually ends up with she running around giggling while the ler chases her and invites more friends to help, turning everything in a big tickle fight.

• Kel, Aubrey, Hero and Basil just love to tickle her and Sunny at the same time because while she is trashing around Sunny just falls boneless whenever any of his tickle spots is targeted. It doesn't matter if the tickles are light or more playful, Sunny will just curl in a ball and - if he can't do that - lay there and take it. No sense of self preservation. Zero. None.

- Sometimes when they were being tickled together Mari would laugh and say "I will protect you, Sunny!" And then hug him, which usually ended up with her running away with him clued on her like a koala. They were always caught in the end but it is fun.

• Sunny also will try to hold his laughter, giggles, titters and squeals the longest he can. His cheeks will get all 'poof' and you will be able to hear quiet snorts, surprised gasps and even a few snickers more frequently when he is about to break.

• With light tickles, like drawing shapes on his back or attacking his neck, Sunny will have a more naturally silent laughter. If the tickling gets a bit rougher he will be doing his best to muffle and hide his louder laughter behind his hand.

• Not because he doesn't like it or something but because his friends and sister will always comment how nice it's to hear him laugh and that boy can't take teases AT ALL

• Even as the ler Sunny is more of the type to bluntly give someone a praise for how melodious their laughter is or how he likes to be able to make them smile than actively tease the person a lot.

• When he is in a more of a playful mood, tho, he definitely will pretend he isn't tickling the person and keep saying things like "Why are you laughing? Is there something in my face?" Or keep trying to have a normal conversation like "Hero already called us to go try his new cake recipe. Come on, get up or Kel will eat everything."

• He will never say it but he does get very happy and proud after tickling someone because! He made a friend happy!

• Relies a lot in non verbal teasing like wiggling his fingers or slowing descending his clawing fingers next to a tickle spot.

• Not usually the one to start tickle fights but will tag along and help whoever is tickle-attacking someone (which more often than not is Kel, who just loves to randomly start tickle fights)

• Sunny is also easy to tease as a ler and Kel and Mari usually just needs a few comments to make him blush.

• Talking about Kel that is one who - except for the exceptions he makes for Sunny because *yes* - just won't go down without a chase.

• With Hero as his brother and playful, caring parents as well that boi can feel ler vibes MILES away and he will be running away from it.

• He is a cheeky bean who will take advantage of his speed when running away to provoke the ler with raspberries or silly faces.

• Kel doesn't really mind being tickled and actually is very open with how much fun it is! Def is the one who starts the tickle fights the most.

• H o w e v e r when being tickled he will deny to his grave that he is ticklish. Aubrey could be attacking his underarms and he would still use every single drop of oxygen to say that 'No! I am not ticklish! I swear I ahahaham nohohohot!' between is loud uncontrollable laughter

• His biggest weakness are any and every nursery rhymes and Hero, like the good big bro he is, sometimes will start to whistle 'round round the garden' only to see the youngest squeal and complain in protest.

• One of Kel's favorite target is Basil because that sweet sweet boi can't just say "no" to Kel's excited, shiny eyes when the friend ask him to play games like "How Long Can You Keep your Arms Up?" or "Try to not Squirm" and stuff like that.

• When Hero and Mari (sometimes even Basil and Sunny) tickle Aubrey and Kel so they will stop fighting, both of the aforementioned will try to make a competition to see who takes longer to laugh.

• Hero is often the biggest tickle monster in the group. His calm, charming aura can turn him in one of the most teasy, silly and at the same time caring ler ever.

• Just like Mari, he also likes to pick their Lee up when he is tickling them but usually he will keep them in the air for the longest that he can. Something about not being able to touch the ground when there are fingers scratching, scribbling and squeezing your tickle spots can make everything even more fun, in his opinion.

• Loves to sing nursery rhymes and will happily refer to himself as the Tickle Monster with a lower voice and growls if he is feeling silly.

• He and Mari has a game called "Exchanging the Lil Bros". They will get their brothers on their laps. Hero will tickle Kel and Mari will get Sunny and after a few minutes they will say " Exchanging Brothers!" and Hero will pass Kel to Mari while she passes Sunny to him and then they resume to their tickles as if their brothers we're becoming a tickled, flustered mess.

• Looking at his confident smile and way to get out of the most dangerous situations one would think that Hero would be 100% able to escape from any potential tickly threat. Well, you're WRONG.

• Because that boi, oooh, when it comes to tickles that boi is the SHYEST bean ever! If Aubrey even wiggle her fingers in his direction??? He will be stumbling on his words and giggling in anticipation in a couple of seconds. And don't even get me started about the begging. If a tickle attack even does much as l o o k in his direction he will be already closing his eyes and promising to do anything the ler want to not tickle him.

• Kel thinks his reactions are hilarious and, as a good lil bro, will tease him too.

• And then there is also Aubrey! Aubrey is def a gigantic playfully mean ler

• Her fav way to tickle someone is to wait for when the person is too distracted or in a situation unable to escape.

• During theater she can and will use the time when only trailers are playing to tickle the friend sitting next to her with whispers of "shhhh, be quiet or they're going to kick us out!" And "What? Can't endure a few tickle tickle tickles?~"

• She is a bit more gentler with Basil and Sunny but you can pry that information from her very dead cold hands.

• 100% has THE Smirk. Ya know which one. That one that makes shivers run down the lee's spine and tickle spots tingle in anticipation.

• Loves raspberries and def will attack her friends with them and nibbles while doing "nom nom nom nom" noises.

• She and Mari used to have the BIGGEST tickle fights between them. One of them almost become a holiday.

• All of that being said she can't take what she dishes out.

• Can't protest while being tickled at ALL. Even if just a poke is placed on her ribs she will be babbling nonsense and/or laughing too much

• She even got to sing the whole lyrics of the Space Boy game once.

• No she doesn't know why she did that and yes if you mentioned it she will tickle you. Good luck.

• Always seek revenge and has a recovering time + stamina that is almost unbelievable.

• Cute nicknames are her weakness and secretly her love too.

• Talking about nicknames Basil likes to create a special nickname for each one of his friends when he tickles them and he never repeats one.

• The only one that knows Aubrey's weakness for teasy nicknames and he will protect this information w his life.

• That plant boi is def one of the most targeted on the group sorry he is too much cute and I don't make the rules.

• He has just one (1) gigantic self defense response to anytime he his tickled and that response is to immediately ATTACH to any person that is near to him. It can be the ler, it can be a random, unfortunate friends that was just passing by and now it's stuck with Basil hugging them and shoving his face on their stomach so no one will see how much red his face is.

• That can result in a lot of accidental tickles but well rip the person that was just chilling around lol

• Tickling him and Sunny at the same time is one of the sweetest things because he WILL hug Sunny and then now you have two giggly bois hugging and laughing themselves silly.

• Tickling him next to anyone while also tickling the other person is always the cutest thing, tbh because no one will just push him away so yeah a big mess of giggles y a a ay

• Basil will turn completely red and when I say completely red it's like TOTALLY red. Cheeks, face, neck, ears, belly, you name it.

• HE HAS TICKLISH CHEEKS AND THEY CAN RESULT ON THE CUTEST GIGGLES

• Loves to tickles his friends because he loves to be the reason why someone is smiling.
