Day 22: Tickle Attack
Lea and Shaun reunite back at home, and have some fun together.
For FailureIsSweet on AO3.
Shaun was sitting at the table, reading up on some knowledge in his notebook that had been gifted to him by Dr. Glassman. He was bored, and waiting for Lea to come home from work.
Little did he know that Lea had arrived home early. She slowly opened the door as to not disturb Shaun, and closed it. She removed her shoes gently, and snuck her stuff to their room. Then...She started sneaking up to Shaun as quietly as she could.
Step...step...step...stopâŠ
Step...step...step...stopâŠ
Step...step...step...andâŠ
âBAH!â She grabbed and squeezed his sides.
Shaun gasped and curled to the side as he felt his sides get tickled. âHAHHAhahahaha! Thahat tihihicklehes.â Shaun said through his laughter.
âAhahaw! I gotcha!â She teased, poking his side again.
This time, Shaun saw it coming and blocked the poke. âYou got me good.â He told her.
âIâm glad I did!â She told him. âI wondered if scaring you would be possible.â She joked.
âI was focused on my book. I didnât hear you come in.â Shaun told her.
âI can see that.â She told him.
She walked up and sat down beside him. âIâm feeling playful.â
Shaun looked up in her general direction. âReally?â He asked.
âReally! I feel like playing. Like tickling someone.â She told him.
Shaun nodded his head. âIâd like that.â He admitted.
âReally? Youâd like to be tickled?â She asked.
âYes. Tickling is a good bonding activity for all relationships except for strangers.â Shaun told him. âMy brother used to tickle me.â He told him.
âAww...Thatâs cute.â She said kindly.
âCute?â He asked.
âYeah! Siblings playing together is cute to me.â She told him.
âSteve was very cute as a baby.â He told her. â
âOkay. Back on the topic of tickling. You wanna be tickled?â She asked.
Shaun nodded his head with a smile showing up on his face.
âOkay!â She walked up to Shaun, got him out of his chair, and started tickling his belly and sides first. âTickle tickle!â
âHEhehehehe!â Shaun laughed as he doubled over.
âIiii GOTCHA!â She started tickling his hips, to see if they tickled.
âHAHAHA! THEhehe hips are really ticklish.â Shaun told her outright.
âOoooh! So sides, belly, hipsâŠâ She started listing off his ticklish spots. She went for the ribs next, smiling when he started laughing.
âHahahahahahahaha! Lehehehea!â He laughed.
âRibs are ticklish too! Tell me: how many ribs do you have?â
âEhehehehveheryone has twehehehelve rihihibs ohohon eheheach sihihide. Sohoho-â
â24 ribs in total.â She did the math.
âYehehehes!â
She tickled up the ribs. âOne, two, threeâŠfour, five-â suddenly, her hand slipped. âDamnâŠI lost my spot. Looks like I have to start all over again!â
Shaun shook his head as he tried to tell her ânooo!â âNohohoho!â
âOh yes! I gotta make sure you have 12 ribs!â She tried to make an excuse.
âIhihihi hahahave twehehehelve rihihibs!â He tried to tell her.
âWell I just wanna make sure!â She told him.
âYohohohohou dohohohonât neheheheheed tohohohoho!â
âI know, but I want to!â She told him. âPlus, this is a tickling game! Count the ribs to get more laughter out of the person!â
Shaun laughed and giggled through the tickles. His belly was filled with butterflies as his ribs were tickled more and more, the higher the fingers went up.
Shaunâs armpits were really bad, so he struggled to try and protect them.
âOoooh! Are your armpits super ticklish? Is that why youâre clamping down so hard?â She asked.
Shaun giggled and shook his head.
âOh? Your armpits are NOT ticklish?â She teased. âWell, itâs a shame I donât quite believe you!â She teased further before lifting up Shaunâs arm.
âNO!â Shaun begged.
âYes!â She started tickling Shauns armpits. This caused Shaun to burst out giggling and laughing.
ââNOHOHOhohohoho! Thahahahahat tihihihihihicklehehehes!â He laughed.
âWell Iâd hope it tickles! Otherwise I would be very sad.â Lea teased.
âTihihihihihicklyhyhyhyhyhy!â He laughed.
âTickly tickly tickly!â She teased.
Shaun reached up and tried to tickle her back. But none of the spots he went for, like the sides, were effective.
âIâm not very ticklish, Iâm afraid.â She told him.
âWhahahahat?!â He reacted.
âYeah I know. Strange, huh?â She mentioned.
Shaun began to search for more ticklish spots to go for. He went for her armpits, which were a no go. He went for the belly next, which didnât really work. Then, he went for the lower ribs.
âHehehehe! Yohohohou gohohot mehehehe!â She laughed.
âIâve gotcha! Iâve gotcha!â Shaun declared.
âHAhahahaha! Shahahahaun!â She laughed, falling onto him. Shaun picked her up and booped her nose. âBoop!â
She giggled and turned them around so she was on the bottom. âYour turn!â She told him.
âOkay.â He started with the bottom ribs and started counting. âOne, two, three, four, five, six-â He pretended to slip a little. âUh oh...I forgot where I was. I need to start again!â Shaun said, reiterating almost the same thing she said before.
âShahahahaun! Yohohohouâre ehehehevihihil!â She laughed.
Shaun giggled. âYou did the same thing Iâm doing! And I didnât call you evil.â Shaun mentioned.
âShuhuhuhuhut uhuhuhup!â She laughed to him.
âOkay.â Shaun proceeded to be quiet while he tickled her.
It was another 5 minutes later when Lea finally said something.
âOhohhokahahahay, sahahahay sohohomethihihihing!â She begged.
âLike what?â Shaun asked.
âThahahahank yohohohou! Yohohohou wehehehent sihihilehehent!â She told him.
âYou told me to shut up. So I shut myself up.â Shaun told her.
Lea grabbed his hands and stopped him. âWahahahait wahait wait waitâŠâ
Shaun waited.
âI said that because you were teasing me, and it was embarrassing. You donât need to take it seriously if you donât want to.â She told him.
âOkay. Your laugh is pretty.â Shaun told her.
âAwww! Thank you!â She replied.
Shaun smiled a little and booped her nose again. This made Lea giggle a little.
âAwwwâŠâ She reacted.
âWhatâs cute?â Shaun asked.
âYou! Youâre cute!â She told him.
Shaun didnât know what to say⊠âTh-thank you.â Shaun told her.
âYouâre welcome Shaun.â Lea replied.
Shaun looked around and back at Lea. âCan you tickle me again?â Shaun asked.
Lea nodded her head. âIâd love to!â She replied.
She started tickling Shaun on the sides as well as the hips to get it started. Shaun giggled and started to laugh almost right away. âHAhahahaha! AhahAhAHAHAH! LEHEHEhahahaha!â He laughed.
âYes, Mr. Giggles?â She teased.
âIhihiHIHIâM NAHAhahahAHAhat Mr. gihihihigglehehes Ihihiâm ShahaAHAUN!â He told her.
âWell today, youâre Mr. Giggles.â She told him.
Shaun giggled more at that.
âThahahat wohohohould behehe ahahan uhuhunprofehehessional nahahahame to hahahave.â Shaun told her.
âYeah...but itâd be cute. And I would be called Lea Giggles!â She told him.
Shaun laughed more at that. âLeheheheahahaha gihihihigglehehes!â Shaun declared. âLeheheheahaha gihihihigglehehes!â
âHYeah! Hahah! Lea Giggles indeed.â She replied.
She soon gave him a break and allowed him to breath for a while. âYou feeling okay?â She asked.
âNehehever better.â Shaun admitted. âIâm tired, but I still want tickles.â Shaun added to his list of admittance.
Lea smiled at him and held his hand. âMaybe later we can do more tickle fights.â
And later on, they did indeed do another few more tickle fights! And the tickle fight chart just kept on filling.
It got to the point that every day winded up being tickle day till the day she got sick of it. But Lea never got sick of seeing Shaun in his happy place. It was a real honour to be able to be Shaunâs girlfriend. And this was one of the royal privileges of being his girlfriend!
