It was weird, really…

…It came out of absolutely. nowhere. 

Peridot was sitting against Steven’s bed, watching Camp Pining Hearts with him as he ate those…popped corn things with a side of twisted candies…

…Until the teen suddenly got up like he saw some gem get brutally shattered, blushing profusely and slamming the pause button on the remote control…

Again: it came out of absolutely. nowhere! 

“Uhm…are you okay, Steven?" The smaller gem asked, glancing at the other worriedly. 

“What!?” The curly head teenager squeaked out, looking at the paused TV and then looking back at Peridot, “M-Mhm! Yup! I’m fine. Totes fine. Superb even.” The boy said nervously, fiddling with the remote controller as he refused to look at the gem next to him nor the small television now.

Peridot raised a confused brow, looking at the screen which was just Percy and Paulette’s talking paused. 

There wasn’t anything odd or weird happening…

…So…why did that he pause it in the first place? 

Besides, Steven watched this episode prior to Peridot watching it…so why was he so nervous all of a sudden?

“…Are you going to press play?” 

“Yeeeeeees...” The chocolate brown eyed teen said almost too quickly as he dragged out the singleword comically. 

“…So…thehen why don't you?" She giggled, trying to reach for the controller as the younger did literally everything in his power to not allow her to. “T-This episode sucks, Peri! Y-You don’t understand!“ Steven cried, putting the remote high in the air so the other couldn’t reach. 

“So???” The green gem huffed in amusement, “When has that ever stopped us from watching before???” She exclaimed as she swiftly snatched the object from the taller gem, trying to press play. 

The fluffy haired teenager let out a short squeak, trying to retrieve back the electronic. 

The two playfully fought, each of them trying to gain the upper hand as the remote got thrown and shoved like the last freshly baked biscuit. “Just give it back!!!” The teen said desperately.  

“Uhm…nohoh? I want to see what makes this episode so appalling for you to watch!” Peridot snickered in amusement. 

"It’s not appalling!”

“…You don’t even know what that word means, do you?”

“…W-WHATEVER!!” The younger gem huffed, starting to get more desperate to get the remote controller from the other but the other in question just simply pushed the teenager to the side, pressing play again as Steven let out a very well-timed gasp.

The episode started to play again and the fluffy haired teen got one of his pillow’s and put it up to his face, groaning loudly. 

The green cladded gem scratched her head in confusion about the weird action but didn’t question it…

…Too much, anyway…

Paulette was reaching for something on the cabin’s upper counter by using a stool— which— Peridot could relate to 101%.

And as Paulette was searching for…whatever she was searching for, Percy came into the cabin, of course, making his presence very much known. 

As the episode played out, Steven pressed the pillow more and more to his face, looking away from the TV as the audio bounced around the walls.  

Acceptance was the first step to healing, I suppose…

Percy snuck behind Paulette and tased her sides before wrapping her in a hug and tickling her stomach…how cute. 

The red head let out an inhuman screech, flailing her arms around at the new sensation as the blonde continued to tickle her mercilessly. 

An small all-knowing smirk spread over the shorter gem’s features, shooting a glance to the other as the floofy haired teenager’s face basically luminated all the shades of the color red. 

Now, the green-hued gem was the one to pause the TV, setting down the remote as she fully faced the sixteen year old, “Oho…” 

"Shut up…" Steven gritted through his teeth.

“Oh?”

“Shuhut up, Peri!!”

“Oh~?”

“Peheridot, Ihi swear—!” Steven shouted, squeaking loudly as he felt a small poke to his side, “N-NohoHO!! Peheri doohoo NAHAT!!” 

The older laughed lightly, starting to pinch around the younger’s sides, “What~? Don’t do whaaaat~?” 

“Y-Yohou knohow whahat!!” The brunette giggled fearfully, his laughter spiking as the other gem digged her thumbs into his hips, “GYAHAH— hic! PEHERI NAHAH N-NOHO!!”

“Ohhhhh Peeercy~!” Peridot said dramatically, “I don’t appreciate you trying to tickle me earlier…looks like I’m going to get my revenge~!” 

The teenager just shook his head back and forth, lying on the bed as he tried to free himself from the other’s wretched hands. “So this is what you were so flustered about…interesting…” The green cladded gem mused.

“N-NOHO IHIHI WASN’T!! NOHO IHI AHAM NAHAHAT!!!” Steven shouted, trying to pry the other’s hands away from him but he soon fell into loud, booming cackles as Peridot lightly traced around his gem. 

“Huh…Amethyst wasn’t kidding when she said this was your worst spot…”

“NO!! HIC HIC NOHOHOHA! IHIHI’M HIC GOHONNA GEHEHET HIC YOHOU BAHACK!!” 

“I’d like to see you try.” The shorter gem said simply as she blew a raspberry on the other’s gem, trying to hold back laughs as Steven let out the most loudest squeal known to man before full on belly laughing.

TickleTober Day 1 - Anticipation

Welcome to October! I’m really excited to have these posting, and I’m hyped to see how everyone that requested likes their fics! They’ll be posting day-by-day, so if you requested #29, it’ll be posted on October 29th! Figured I’d start out with something i haven’t done yet, so here’s some Steven Universe Future! (definitely not projecting on steven whaaaat)  I hope you all have an amazing spooky season, Enjoy!!

Lee: Future!Steven

Ler: Amethyst 

Summary: Steven hasn’t been doing the best mentally, especially on the bad days. Amethyst has the perfect way to help, but being herself, adds a playful edge to it.

Warnings: Possible SUF spoilers maybe? A spot angsty at the start. This is a tickle fic, so if you don’t like that, scroll away!

The past few months had been…they’d been interesting. Steven finally started getting the help he needed, and the gems had been supporting him however they could. The therapist was nice, she helped him through some of his most traumatic moments. Topics on his mom…they were still touchy, but he was getting there. He had a name for one of his problems now. “Abandonment Issues…” 

There’s still days where he feels lousy. He couldn’t remember the official term, but he liked to call them “spew days.” Days where his emotions just got the better of him. Days like today.

Steven was sprawled out on the couch, staring blankly up at the ceiling. He…he felt like poop. Not as bad as he did with Connie’s “not yet,” but definitely crummy. The teen didn’t even notice when Amethyst came through the door until she flopped down next to him. 

“Hey dude! Oh…Steven, what’s wrong?” He grunted, shrugging. It wasn’t a lie either, at least not completely. A combination of things was wrong, though he couldn’t pinpoint what they all were. He just…wasn’t okay.

“Steven, c’mon. Remember the whole “we talk about our feelings” deal we made?” The purple-hued gem’s expression softened, giving him a little nudge. They had all agreed that whenever something was wrong, they would do their best to communicate the problem. Steven sighed, knowing it would probably help. 

“I just…feel crummy. It’s a bunch of things. Sorry…” Amethyst immediately shut that down. “Hey, hey. No. You’ve got nothing to be sorry about. Your feelings are valid, no matter how confusing they are. If you can’t say it, that’s okay.” Gosh, why are his friends so awesome? He held out his arms, silently asking for a hug. His friend was more than happy to oblige.

“C’mere bud.” She wrapped her arms around the 16 year old, hugging him tight. He felt a bit of the gross feeling go away, melting into the touch. He needed this. Ever since the monster incident…hugs have been his everything. “Thanks Amethyst…”

His voice was a bit too deep and airy for her liking. He needed a cheer up session, pronto. Lucky for him, she had the perfect idea. “Ya know Steven… you could use some fun. How about we play some Steven Tag, with a twist?” 

A twist? Why was she smiling like tha-…oh. Oh. He pulled away from the hug, a smile tugging at his lips. “Amehe- Amethyst no!” The purple gem crossed her arms, smirking. Amethyst shifted into the present version of Steven, snickering. “You got ten seconds. You get tagged, you get tickled…better run.” 

Crap…crap! He got up off the couch, backing away from his friend. She couldn’t be serious, right? “Amethyst, c’mon! You- you’re joking right? Right?” She just smirked, holding up ten fingers. She was not joking. She slowly lowered one finger, then another, then another, dragging out each word with a teasing tone. “Ten, nine, eight…”

Time to run! He took off in the opposite direction, running into the warp area. The door opened for him, his pink and cloudy room offering a nice place to hide. Steven zipped inside, trying to ignore the butterflies in his stomach. The room, sensing his needs, quickly made a few hiding spaces. Cabinets, closets, doors, tables with cloths, a bunch of hiding spot’s any kid would think of. All of which are horrible for actual hiding. It would have to do… He ducked into the most boring closet he saw, finding a pile of blankets inside. He burrowed under them, tried his best to make sure nothing was poking out, and hid. 

Amethyst finished her countdown, chuckling as she walked over to the door. It opened to her room, but that was just a minor inconvenience. She knew her way around those rooms like the back of her gem. Running over to her stack of couch cushions and rubber ducks, she shoved them out of the way, revealing the secret path to Steven’s room. Can never be too prepared for mischief. She jumped through the hole, feeling gravity shift as she landed on the soft, pillowy clouds of Steven’s room. Time for some fun…

“Oh Steven~! Where are ya, bud? I just wanna play~!” When she saw the silly hiding spots, she snickered. Just like old times… Amethyst began opening the cabinets, trying to find the teen. “You know you can’t hide from me, man. I’m gonna find ya, and when I do, you’re gonna get it~” 

Steven clamped a hand over his mouth, trying to muffle his anticipatory giggles. He had forgotten how evil Amethyst was when it came to these games… The butterflies in his stomach were going wild, swarming and sending a blush to his cheeks. He hadn’t been tickled in a good while. That somehow made the fluttery, bubbling feeling worse. 

Turns out he sucked at being quiet. Amethyst easily heard his poorly muffled giggles, the cloudy walls of the closet almost paper-thin. Guess some things never change. “Steven, Steven, Steven. Still a gigglebug through and through.”

She slowly walked towards the closet, stomping her feet to make as much noise as possible. She wanted him to know how screwed he was. Knowing he was already caught, he removed his hand from his mouth, letting the giggles fly free as he leaned against the door. No way was he gonna go down without a small fight.

Amethyst jiggled the doorknob, pushing against it. You’d think that it would be easy, it being made of clouds and all. But no. The manifestations were linked to Steven’s conscious and subconscious thoughts, and right then, they wanted that door solid and stable. He only forgot one thing; a towel for under the door. Shape-shifting to an ant, the crystal gem easily slipped under the door. She scurried behind Steven before shifting back, growing to a purple-hued version of him. “Peek-a-boo~” 

Now, he handled his surprise very maturely. He definitely didn’t shriek and run into the door. Definitely not. His best friend snorted, snatching him up in her arms. “Tag! Ya know what that means…” Shifting back to her regular form, the gem wiggled her fingers into his sides, not releasing him from the reverse hug. He yelped, squirming around and digging his heels into the carpeted floor. 

“Amehethyst! Qu-quihihihit it!” Even though he was currently taller than the other gem, he couldn’t escape the ticklish hold. The closet was small, not allowing much room for squirming or thrashing. Lucky for him, Steven’s subconscious threw him a bone. The closet poofed out of existence, momentarily startling Amethyst. She pulled him closer, hugging him tightly before she realized what happened. 

“Ooooh, I get it. Someone’s a bit too ticklish for their own good, huh?” The wiggling fingers quickly resumed their tickly pattern on his sides, pulling sweet giggles from the teen. He gripped her wrists, trying to pry her hands off. That did next to nothing; the crystal gem was having way too much fun. She had completely forgotten about her Steven Tag excuse, just wanting to tickle her friend. He needed a good laugh anyways.

She knew exactly where to go to get him really laughing, his younger years giving her plenty of time to learn his best spots. Amethyst moved her tickling to his belly, slowly getting closer to his gem. Steven knew what she was doing; it was the same pattern as when he was young. Sides, belly, gem, and if he was still breathing, underarms. Normally, he’d be embarrassed of the tickling. But right now? It was actually a fun distraction from his thoughts. “Nohoho! Dohon’t you dahare!”

A little teasing wouldn’t hurt. She slowly circled her fingers around the edge of his gem, sending ticklish little shocks to his belly. Frantic giggles bubble out of him, his anticipation building as she toyed with the edge of his gem. “A-Ahamethyst! Thihis is mehehean!”

“Uh, no duy. That’s why I’m doin’ it!” She chuckled and scritched a little faster, trying to get a squeak or two out of him. And, as expected, his giggles turned squeakier than a rusty door hinge. The feeling of her fingers so close to his worst spot was killer. No amount of squirming or wiggling was helping, the butterflies in his stomach going nuts. 

He caved within thirty seconds, patting her arm and speaking with a whiny tone. “Ahamethyhyst! Juhust- just dohoho ihit ahahalreheady!” That almost got her. Almost. Rolling her eyes, the teasing ended, making way for the main event.

Following her pattern, Amethyst’s playful scribbling moved to his gem, sending the crazy ticklish sensations across his whole midsection. He was constantly changing and growing, but his sensitivity didn’t seem to get the message. He squealed, kicking as his knees gave out. “COHOHOME OHON! NOHOT FAHAIR, LEHEMME GOHOHO!” 

It was kinda adorable, in a dorky way. Steven had always liked being tickled, even if he never voiced that opinion. It was pretty obvious when he was younger. Recently, however, he had been drifting away, closing up, avoiding anything “childish” or “immature” to him. They now knew why, and were working towards improving his self-image and communication skills. Still, progress was slow. Seeing him laugh again…it was nice. 

Amethyst was so engrossed in her thoughts that she barely noticed when Steven was tiring out. He hadn’t had much energy to start the day, and quickly wore out from the tickling. He slumped against his best friend, leaning into her as the tickling wore him down. 

“AHAHA-AHAHAMETHYHYST! IHIHI- AHAHAHA!” Her smile softened when she regained focus. The scribbles on his gem slowly came to an end, her hands switching to rub the ticklish areas. He practically melted into her touch. The soft happiness from the tickling paired with her gentle attention had him on cloud nine. “Thahahanks…”

Okay, that warmed her gem. She shifted to a bear, carrying him up to his bed. It wasn’t the first time she’d done it, and it certainly wouldn’t be the last. The contented drowsiness was a major improvement from his earlier gloom. Lumbering up the stairs, she laid him down, shifting back to her regular form. It wasn’t late, but one little nap wouldn't hurt his sleep schedule. Right as she turned to leave, a soft hand tugged her back. “Hey…stay?” 

The warm smile on her face somehow got even softer, pitchy chuckles shaking her shoulders. “‘Course, bud. Gimme a sec.” She shifted shape once again, now a fluffy, lavender cat. Pawing at the blankets, she curled up beside Steven, pressing her soft fur against the star on his shirt. The bouncy-haired teen draped an arm over his now-feline friend. He was completely spent and ready for a nap. 

A low purr rumbled in her chest at the soft gesture. Steven always found new ways to surprise them, either with kindness or some new ideal. The other gems would have likely been home soon, but she didn’t really care. Garnet and Pearl could tease all they want if it meant she could spend some quality time with Steven. 

Amethyst didn’t need sleep, but it was always nice to get some; especially in moments like those. The teen was out in seconds, his friend soon joining. The day had taken a turn for the better, all thanks to a bit of playful mischief and care. Moments like those are what makes being a crystal gem all the more worth it…

Peridot & Steven & Garnet (Steven Universe)

a/n: i genuinely could not find a good gif for this fic so the one above is the one ur getting. ALSO THIS IS THE FIRST FIC IVE WRITTEN IN A WHILE and it’s literally been sitting in my notes app for months unfinished but i finally finished so!! and it’s peri bc she’s beautiful and she was my first character obsession whatever and i’m still obsessed so yes. anyways, enjoy!!

summary: from listening to old logs, peridot is reminded that she doesn’t know what tickling is. steven and garnet teach her.

word count: 1.4k words

——

*Click* “Log Date 7148: The Steven has demonstrated a new.. ritual that humans seem to partake in. The name of this ritual is a ‘Tickle Fight’. I do not understand it. I searched for an answer in a large book filled with numerous words and their meanings, but it does not seem plausible. Perhaps, I should look more into it.” Peridot tilted her head. This was an older recording, taken a few months ago. She had never actually gotten the chance to continue her learning of what tickling actually was, helping Steven and the Crystal Gems save the world and all.

However, she had stumbled upon her old tape recorder and decided to listen to a few of her logs. The reminder of her curiosity revolving a “Tickle Fight” arose once more. Tickling, she recalled, was ‘to touch someone in certain sensitive spots to make them flinch and laugh’.

Still, she didn’t understand. How could lightly touching someone incite laughter? Was it an involuntary response? Should she ask Steven?

It wasn’t a bad idea; Steven had always helped her when she didn’t understand something on Earth. She threw her fist in her hand in resolve, searching for the boy.

Luckily, it didn’t take long. He and Garnet were doing something with a sphere, but Peridot couldn’t find herself caring enough to ask.

“Steven?” She asked, loudly, catching the attention of the two.

“Peridot!” Steven exclaimed, setting the ball down and running to the gem. Garnet followed soon after.

“What is ‘tickling’?” She asked, scratching her chin and eyeing Garnet somewhat shyly. Garnet and her had settled their (one-sided) tension, but sometimes, the gem still managed to intimidate her.

“Oh! Tickling! It’s where if someone touches-“

“No! Steven, wait. I know what it means but I don’t understand it. How does it make one laugh?” She inquired, as Steven’s mouth made an ‘o’ in understanding.

“Well, I don’t really know the science about it.. but it has something to do with your brain makes it happen..?”

“Ehh…” Peridot hummed, though she couldn’t say the answer given to her was very helpful.

“Why are you so curious about tickling, anyway?” Steven asked, looking at her then to Garnet.

“Oh, that’s because it was in one of my old logs. I always wanted to understand it but never could find the time.” Peridot said, handing them the tape recorder. They listened back to it, giving it back to her when the recording was finished.

“We’ll help you! It will be fun!! Right, Garnet?” Steven shouted, excited. Garnet only gave a thumbs-up.

And so, the next few minutes we’re spent finding answers about the strange thing. By the end of it Peridot could almost confidently say she understood tickling, or Gargelesis, the scientific term according to to the internet. Well, almost. There was one thing she didn’t quite understand. What did it feel like? She didn’t know. Could gems even.. feel ticklish? Sure, she had seen Steven been tickled before by the other gems but that was all it was.

Still, she didn’t want to ask. It was starting to get late and for some reason she couldn’t explain, the thought of being tickled felt.. embarrassing? That a mere touch can make someone feel so sensitive and laugh beyond their control.

The three of them sat down on the couch in Steven’s house, before Steven began to speak.

“Hey, Peridot.”

“Hm?”

“Have you ever been tickled?” It seemed like an obvious question, the fact being that she hadn’t, but she answered anyway.

Peridot sat up. “No, I.. I can’t say that I have.”

Steven beamed at that, reaching to grab her hands. “Do you want to be?!”

“I mean, Gems probably aren’t ticklish, right? So it would be pointless, wouldn’t it?” She said, though she wasn’t even sure if it is true and to be honest, she did want to know what it felt like.

“They are.” Garnet said, simply.

“O-oh.”

“So…????” Steven spoke slowly, in anticipation. He looked so excited to tickle his friend that she sighed.

“It would help me completely understand tickling. So I suppose it would be beneficial on both parties!” Peridot clapped her hands as Steven resisted squealing in delight, his lips quirked up. Peridot would be lying if she said she wasn’t at least a little nervous, but the best way to understand something was to experience it.

“Yesss!!! Garnet, help me tickle Peri!” Steven exclaimed, practically stars in his eyes. It felt nice to know that the gem wasn’t the only one looking forward to this.

“What should I do?” Peridot asked, unsure if it would only work if she did something in particular.

“Hm,” Steven put his finger on his chin. “Put your arms up— a little higher—yes like that!” He slowly brought his hands to the gems hips, grabbing the belly fat.

“If you are in any discomfort, tell us. We’ll stop.” Garnet added, as Steven squeezed. To say Peridot flinched was an understatement.

It was unlike anything she could have ever imagined and— yes, there’s the laughter the “dictionary” was referring to. Peridot immediately brought her hands down, pushing away at Steven’s hands, squirming wildly. Tickling felt sensitive, and she couldn’t help the toothy grin on her face.

“W-whahahahat?! T-thihihis iHIHIs tihihickling?!” She cried.

“Yes it is! Do you like it?” Steven asked, as Garnet hooked her arms under Peridot’s. Did she like it?

“Yehehehes! Ihihit’s weheheheird buhuhut I l-lihihike it!” She said, though she did struggle to get the words out. She wasn’t even completely sure that Steven and Garnet understood what she was saying.

She was overwhelmed. Not in a bad way, though. She couldn’t stop squirming and flailing and twisting and shaking. It felt as if each new spot that was explored caused her to become more sensitive.

“Can you hold her arms for me, Garnet?” Steven asked, as the gem nodded. She went from in front of Peridot to behind her, hooking her arms with hers. Peridot felt a new wave of anticipation wash over her with this newfound vulnerability.

“Ahahahaha..” Peridot stammered, giggling in anticipation. That anticipation didn’t last long because Steven had already stuck his hands into her armpits, scribbling on the sensitive skin.

She thought that was she had been feeling before was bad but this.. this was a whole new sensation!

“N-NaHAHAH?! W-WHAHAT?! W-WHY IHIHIS IHIHIT SOHOHO bahahaAD?!” She cried, struggling in Garnet’s grasps.

“That’s your tickle spot! Hehe, we found it.” Steven exclaimed, excited. Garnet smiled.

The tickling was beginning to feel overwhelming. Who knew a “tickle spot” could feel so intense? Peridot felt tears of mirth gathering in her eyes, her cheeks beginning to ache from the smiling and laughing.

“N-noHOHOHO MOHOHORE!” She shouted, getting their attention. Almost immediately, Garnet unhooked her arms and Steven removed his hands from her armpits. Garnet patted her back, comfortably, catching her before her knees gave out. The fusion moved Peridot to the floor. Peridot was exhausted. She tried catching her breath, shocked at how exhausted she had become.

“So how was it?” Steven asked, plopping down on the ground with her.

“It.. it was nice. It was overwhelming, but it wasn’t bad.” Peridot admitted.

“Haha, you’re so ticklish! That’s why!” Steven laughed. Garnet decided to sit on her knees and join them on the ground.

“Am I really that ticklish?” Peridot asked, as she scratched her chin.

“Yes, you are.” Garnet spoke, without hesitation, and Peridot blushed slightly.

“This makes us an expert in tickling now, doesn’t it?” Steven inquired, raising a brow.

That was true, wasn’t it? Peridot thought to herself. They spent about half an hour researching and then tickling Peridot so she had experience with it. But… something felt missing.

“Not yet. Peridot has never had a tickle fight.” Garnet voiced and.. that’s right! That’s what was missing! Steven’s eyes lit up as did Peridot’s while her body suddenly seemed much more energized.

“I’ll get you, Steven!” She shouted, eagerly, pouncing on him, kneading her hands into his sides.

“N-nahahahat if I gehehehet y-you fihihirst!” He giggled, as he tried to tickle the gem back. It seemed Garnet decided to sit this one out, but Peridot didn’t mind. She didn’t know what tickling was, but was happy to find out. Not the mention, the joy she felt spending time with Steven and Garnet, creating new memories with them that she would cherish forever. But for now, she had a tickle fight to win!

Ik this was some time ago but I just got back into steven universe so…

Steven Universe Future - (tickle fic)

Thanks to @ticklymlm for the ask! (Sorry it took so long, just got this idea a few days ago) 😅

Also @moose-muffin: Hope you like this fic 😊

Summary: Lars is about to leave and Steven can’t help but feel sad, so he decides to give Steven one last memorable goodbye.

Ticklee: Steven

Tickler: Lars

Ship: None (platonic)

*————————————————————————*

“Are you gonna let me go anytime soon?”

“Just a couple more minutes.” Steven said enjoying the hug Lars was giving him.

He couldn’t believe the transformation Lars has gone though over the years. He would’ve been yelled at by now if it were still the old Lars. But the new Lars was different, in touch with his feelings, more caring. Steven couldn’t be more proud of the person he’s become.

After he finally let go, he looked at Lars with happy eyes.

“Thanks. I needed that.”

“No problem man. And hey, don’t look so sad.” He punctuated his sentence with an elbow to Steven’s side.

He was taken back when a surprised shriek echoed through the air. He looked at Steven and saw him shoot his hands up to his mouth, a faint blush could be seen on his cheeks.

“After all these years you still haven’t grown out of it, huh?”

“H-Haven’t grown out of what?” He started to walk backwards his hands at his sides. Lars could tell he was nervous.

“Oh don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about, Steven.” Lars put his hands up in claw shapes walking towards Steven.

“Lars don’t you dare!” Steven said continuing to back away.

“Why not? You used to love this. I remember when Sadie would do this to you all the time when you would sneak through the back door of the Big Donut without asking.”

“Well that was then and I’m not even... that anymore.”

“That? You mean ticklish?”

“D-Don’t say that word so loud.” Steven’s blush spread to his ears.

“Haha. You really think I’d forget that the word tickle makes you blush. It’s one of the reasons why you’re so adorable.”

With that Lars pounced.

Steven was almost able to move out of the way, but alas, Lars had grabbed his ankle and pulled him to the ground. Lars quickly wrapped an arm around Steven’s legs and placed a hand on one of Steven’s knees ready to attack.

“Noho Lars dohohn’t!”

“I hahaven’t even done anything yet.”

“Buhut I know whahat you’re gonna do!”

“What am I gonna do Steven?” Lars asked starting to draw light circles on Steven’s knee causing Steven to shriek and lightly giggle.

Lars smirked, amused at his reactions. ‘Just like old times.’

“My mind seems to be drawing a blank.”

“Yohohuh’re gohohonna t-tihickle mehehe!”

“Bingo!”

Using one arm to keep a firm wrap around Steven’s shins, he used his other hand to switch from light circles to now full on squeezing Steven’s knee.

Steven squirmed and hugged his middle, even after a few years Lars seemed to remember his worst spots.

“NAHAHAHAHAHAHA LAHAHRS!”

“Yes Steven?” Lars asked calmly as if there wasn’t a cackling boy being tickled beneath him.

“STOHOHOHOHOHOP!”

“Pfft. No can do Steven. I’m about to leave and I don’t when you’ll visit me, I might as well make up for the time I’m gonna be gone. Besides, I think you need to cheer up a bit.”

Quickly and timed perfectly, Lars let go of Steven’s legs and straddle his waist so Steven was now laying on his back with Lars sitting on his thighs. He had also brought Steven’s arms up to the side using his knees to pin them down.

With Steven fully pinned down and unable to move, Lars was ready.

“Man, that was easier than I thought it was gonna be. You barely put up a fight.”

Steven struggled to get free. He knew exactly what Lars was gonna do. He’d do this to Steven all the time when he was younger, in the exact same position they’re in now.

“Lars, let me go!”

“Nope. Now where to start? Let’s try... here.”

Steven shrieked when Lars lightly scittered his fingers all around Steven’s neck.

“Awww. Duhude, you’re blushing!”

“ahahahahahahaha dohohohon’t pohohohoint ihit ohohohohout!”

“Why not? It just makes you blush even more. How cute.”

Of course this caused Steven’s blush to grow brighter than it already was.

Lars traced his ears and the sides of his neck. Steven scrunched his neck but that just caused Lars to go and tickle under his chin or around his ears, making him turn his head thus leaving a new area exposed.

“Come on, Steven, I know you can laugh louder than this. Let it out!”

Steven squeaked when Lars took two fingers from each hand and poked Steven’s ribs.

“Ohoho this is gonna be fun.”

“Oh no.”

Those were his last words before laughter came spilling from his lips.

Lars poked and prodded each individual rib, even vibrating his fingers in between each bone. What’s worse is that he went from light teasy circles to squeezing and prodding at random moments.

Steven kicked at the ground and shook his head.

“Do you still have the same number of ribs since I last counted? Guess I’ll have to find out.”

With that, Lars started at the top and worked his way down. Of course messing up along the way a few times just for fun.

“Oooooooone~ Twooooooooo~ Threeeee~ agh. Steven, you can’t expect me to count while your laughing like this. I can barely hear myself think. Gonna have to start over.”

“AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA NOHOHOHAHAHAHA! YOHOHUH’RE SOHOHOHO MEHEHEAHAN!”

“You think this is mean? Oh I’ll show you mean.”

He stoped tickling Steven’s ribs and looked down at the hem of his shirt. It had ridden up a little, revealing a tiny line of skin.

Lars lightly traced his finger along the skin, a feather light touch. Steven squirmed and whimpered. It tickled of course, but not enough to make him laugh.

“You really think I’d forget your worst spot?”

Lars then pulled up Steven’s shirt till it reached the bottom of his ribs, leaving his stomach and gem fully exposed.

“Lars.”

Lars looked up to see Steven trying to keep a straight face.

“Don’t. You. Dare.”

“Oh I dare.” He started to lightly trace the skin around Steven’s gem. Causing Steven to lightly giggle and blush harder than he already was.

“LAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHARS!”

Steven struggled best he could, but Lars wasn’t letting up.

It wasn’t until Lars started to trace shapes on Steven’s gem that made him lose his mind. Not only that, but Lars used his other hand to squeeze Steven’s sides around his gem and even his hips.

“Jeheheez. You’re gonna buck me off. Forgot how ticklish you are here.”

“AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! LAHAHAHARS STOHOHOHOHOHOP TEHEHEHEHEAHASING!”

“Oh, does teasing make it worse?” Lars paused his tickling and hovered his wiggling fingers over Steven’s underarms.

“Yehehehehes and dohohon’t.”

“Well in that case-”

Steven screamed when Lars’s fingers touched his underarms, followed by lots of cute belly laughter.

“Tickle tickle tickle. Awww. Is the big hero Steven Universe a wittle ticklish?”

Steven couldn’t stand the treasing. With all the strength he had left, Steven somehow pulled his arms out from Lars’s knees and hugged his middle. However, this caused Lars’s fingers to now become stuck under his arms.

Steven panted, taking in as much air as he could. He still stifled a giggle every now and then because of where Lars’s fingers ended up being.

“Dude my hands are stuck.”

“I knohow.”

There was a slight pause between the two of them.

“You gonna let them go?”

“You’re just gonna tickle me again!”

“I can still tickle you ya now.”

With that being said, Lars wiggled his fingers slightly causing Steven to jerk and let out a squeal followed by light giggles.

“See?” Lars asked continuing to wiggle his fingers.

“Yehehehes I sehehehehe nohohow stohohohop IhIhI cahahahan’t tahahahake any mohohohohore!”

“You’re gonna have to lift your arms up.”

“Okay fine.”

Steven slowly lifted his arms up and let Lars’s hands go free.

Lars put his hands on his hips as he observed how Steven was recovering. His checks were still a faint pink and he let a small giggle escape his lips every few breaths. His arms were relaxed and laying on his stomach, probably in case Lars decided to tickle him again.

“You okay?” Lars chuckled.

“Yeah, I’m okay. Can I get up now?”

“I don’t know, I don’t think you’re cheered up yet.”

“No! No! I’m cheered up I promise!”

“Okay fine. You can get up you’ve had enough.”

Lars got up off of Steven and Steven quickly curled in on himself for a second before standing up.

“Lars-”

“Yeah Steven?”

“Thanks. Again. I really needed that.”

Lars wrapped an arm around Steven’s shoulders and pulled him close.

“Of course, Steven. Now come here.”

Lars then put Steven in a headlock and gave him a noogie. Another thing he’d do to Steven when he was bothering him or in a playful mood.

“Come ohohon let me gohoho!”

Lars let go of him and they both laughed before hugging one last time.

“I’ll miss you Lars.”

“I’ll miss you too. Come and visit whenever okay?”

“Okay.”

They waved goodbye, awaiting the day when they get to say hi to each other once again.

Liv's whole sentiment of being "I don't want to do what others want me to do, I want to do what I want to do what I want to do, except I don't know what I want to do." Is so relatable, unfortunately.

[queeringclassiclit]

Which adaptation of Sherlock Holmes is the most queer?

*not including House M.D. because it's not really an adaptation, or any overtly queer pastiches like My Dearest Holmes or The Adventure of the Furtive Festivity because that's not really a fair contest

Each cut, each scar, each burn, a different mood or time. I told him what the first one was. I told him where the second one came from. I remembered them all. And for the first time in my life, I felt beautiful. Finally part of the earth. I touched the soil, and he loved me back. Secretary (2002) Dir: Steven Shainberg

Oh, I love Summer so much, I just had to make some more CN art for it. 🧡

It’s such a beautiful day today and everyone is at the beach to have some fun. (And so was I earlier today, lol.)

This piece and a follow-up night one (coming soon) were inspired by the 2009 “CN Summer in Italy” bumpers.

Summer is short, y’all, enjoy it while it’s here, before the cold kicks in and the winter depression hits. Have a fun one out there and stay safe!

P.S. (I didn’t know there was a tag limit, whoops. Guess that’s what happens when I try to put as many characters in one image as I can.)

[nendracula]

this trend is so fun im gonna make 12 of these
