Title: Laugh, Don’t Cry Fandom: Teen Wolf Characters: Scott McCall, Stiles Stilinksi, Derek Hale, Isaac Lahey Summary: Ticklish!Scott; Derek never said becoming an alpha would hurt. They try to make him feel better.

Scott was hot, sweaty and in pain. It wasn’t like anything he’d ever felt before. It was like lava was running through his veins and burning him from the inside out. Derek sat on his right, watching him with small etches of concern on his usually stoic face. Stiles was against the head board of his bed, running his fingers through his hair but otherwise not touching him in fear of hurting him. Lastly, Isaac was the the foot of the bed, looking every bit as a puppy with his mournful eyes.

Scott groaned as another cramp rolled through his body, feeling his abdomen muscles tense in pain. A small whimper came from Isaac and Scott tried to reel in his pain but it rippled through him like nothing else ever did.

“Please,” he begged quietly. Normally he wouldn’t even think to ask someone to take his pain away but he didn’t think he could handle it.

Immediately, a big warm hand cupped his jaw and moved down his shoulders, taking away some of the heat, leaving Scott feeling cold. On his legs, Isaac was soothing the tense muscles with caresses, the pain leaving his legs.

“It’s because you were bitten instead of being born a werewolf,” Derek said when he first started aching. “Bitten wolves aren’t supposed to become Alphas because there bodies can’t handle the stress. There isn’t much we can do besides waiting it out; nothing like this has happened before.”

That was three hours ago and the pain was worsening with every minute. Stiles met the other two beta’s eyes and saw matching looks of worry reflected there. Scott cried out as a vicious cramp attacked his thigh muscles. He could see the tenseness if the cramp so Stiles gently started massaging Scott, hoping to relieve some pain. He didn’t have powers to help heal his friend so it was the least he could do. 

Scott was vaguely aware of what the three were doing and winced as his thighs had pressure added onto them. After a few minutes however, the muscle finally uncorded and left him panting in relief. Stiles continued his little massage, gently digging a little harder, hitting the inside of Scott’ s thighs. Scott let out a sleepy giggle at the surprising tickle feels, shifting his legs tiredly.

Isaac traded familiar looks with Stiles and smiled. It wasn’t a hidden fact that Scott was incredibly ticklish. His skin was so sensitive and soft; weird to think about on a male alpha as powerful as Scott. Derek rolled his as albeit fondly and watched as Scott continued to squirm, giggles still escaping him.

“Stohohohop,” Scott whined, eyes falling shut as the last of the pain finally left him.

“Are you feeling better?” Isaac asked, starting to play with Scott’s feet. His nimble fingers gently scratched under every toe, chuckling as Scott squeaked in surprise, glaring down at him.

“Yehehes!”

“Enough, he needs rest,” Derek said, noticing Scott’s struggle.

Stiles pulled away from his friend and smiled fondly at the young alpha. “And to think I thought you grew out of being ticklish as hell.”

“Bite me,” Scott sighed, finally being able to relax as the pain left his body. Isaac moved forward so he was next to Stiles instead and smiled at Scott. The alpha smiled back, closing his eyes before muttering quiet, “Thank you.”

“No problem, buddy.”
