Father and Son

(TickleTober Day 5: Not Ticklish)

Summary: Daniel and Eric had another argument

Pairing: None, this is so incredibly platonic. the fact that I actually have to say that is just- 💀

Word Count: 1,091

A/N: I gave into the feminine urge to mend their relationship

———————————————————

The tension in the Matthews household was thicker than fog. Eric and Daniel had had another fight, ending with both of them shouting and Daniel storming off and slamming his door.

Eric stood in place, rubbing his temples and contemplating all that was said. It was easy to lose your cool when dealing with an angsty teenager, but perhaps he was too hard on Daniel. After all, he was still just a kid.

As much as Eric wanted to talk to Daniel, he knew the kid needed some time to himself and he didn’t wanna invade his space.

They would sort it out later.

After some time, Eric decided Daniel had probably cooled off by now and decided that now was the time to talk.

He took a deep breath as he stood outside his son’s door, already contemplating what he should say. Finally, he hesitantly knocked.

“Daniel? Can I come in?”

“Whatever..”

With permission granted, he turned the doorknob and entered the room where Daniel laid on his bed with his arms crossed over his chest, an expression of irritation on his face.

Eric sighed and sat on the edge of the bed.

For a moment, the two sat in uncomfortable silence, both having a hard time looking at one another.

Finally, the man spoke.

“Look, son, I know I haven’t been as… present as I should be.” He started, trying to find the right words. ���I know the divorce has been difficult for you and I just wanted to apologize for everything I said… I shouldn’t have been so hard on you, and I’m sorry.”

Daniel seemed to contemplate the apology before giving an awkward nod.

“It’s whatever… I was kind of a douchebag too.”

With the awkward exchange over with, the tense atmosphere still remained, though less suffocating than before. Eric knew he had to lighten the mood.

Thinking back to when Daniel was little, he suddenly got an idea. An idea that would either lighten the mood, or make Daniel hate him forever.

“Hey, Danny… are you still ticklish?” He asked, looking at his son to watch for his response.

And what a response it was.

Daniel quickly sat up and pulled his legs close to himself, his cheeks turning pink as his eyes formed a wary gaze.

“No, I’m not ticklish.. I outgrew that years ago!” He claimed defensively, though there was a tinge of nervousness in his voice.

Daniel often wore a tough facade. He’d built himself a wall of teenage angst and he refused to let it break. Though he knew that if the knowledge of his ticklishness resurfaced, that would get washed down the drain.

Eric was unconvinced. He knew his son too well for that lie to work.

“Daniel, how are we going to build a better relationship if we can’t be honest with ourselves.” There was a playful tone to his voice. Deciding to put his son’s claim to the test, - even though he knew it was a lie - he finally reached over and dug into Daniel’s sides, earning a surprised squawk from the teenager.

“ACK- Dahad!”

The rare sound of laughter filled the room, Daniel squirming and shoving at his father’s hands, his facade broken almost instantly.

Seeing his angsty teenage son laughing and smiling like a child truly melted the detectives heart. It had been too long since he’d seen the kid look so free and happy; the usual scowl replaced with a bright smile, just like the one he wore when he was a child.

“Well, Danny, I’m starting to think that you lied about not being ticklish.” He teased, relishing in his sons laughter.

Daniel’s laughter grew louder when the tickling fingers moved upwards to his ribs, massaging the bones and digging into his back ones, sending ticklish sparks shooting through his nervous system.

“STOHOHOP! YOU’RE S-SO AHAH- AHAHANNOYING!!” The kid shouted through his guffaws, though there was a hint of glee in his voice, showing that he didn’t hate this as much as he claimed.

“Well, am I as annoying as you are ticklish?” “YEHEHES!!” Daniel walked right into the trap.

“So you admit you’re ticklish!”

Daniel’s face turned red, realizing what the answer implied and immediately regretting his response. He kicked his legs and bucked his hips, tears of mirth forming at the corners of his eyes.

Eric recalled all of Daniel’s tickle spots, remembering one in particular that used to get some pretty big reactions.

“If memory serves- and mine is never wrong- you used to be pretty ticklish riiiight here!” He shoved his fingers under Daniel’s arms, scratching at the sensitive hollows.

Daniel let out a childish squeal, throwing his head back with unrestrained joy, gluing his arms to his sides and trapping his fathers hands.

“DAHAHAHAD!!! NOT THEHEHERE-”

The teenager was in stitches. He couldn’t remember the last time he laughed so hard, if at all. It was almost freeing in a way.

“Told you I was never wrong. You might be even more ticklish than when you were little, son!”

Eric was enjoying this moment just as much as Daniel, his chest tightened with affection for his kid, looking at his rosy cheeks and scrunched up nose and seeing the bright little boy that he raised.

In this moment, Daniel wasn’t an angsty teenager, he was just a kid.

Not wanting to push too far, Eric let up, pulling back and ruffling the kids hair.

Daniel laid catching his breath, a smile still glued to his face.

“You’re such an ahahass…” He tried to glare at his father, but it wasn’t very menacing due to the rosy cheeks and goofy smile.

“Watch it, son. Unless you want a round two-”

“Nonononono!! I’m good I’m gohohood!” The giggling teenager held up his hands defensively, sitting back up and shaking his head.

Eric laughed and pat his son on the shoulder, assuring that there would be no more tickles for the time being.

The earlier tension had been lifted, replaced by a comforting atmosphere. When Daniel finally calmed down, Eric wrapped an arm around his shoulder and pulled him close, holding him in a side hug.

“I love you, Danny. No matter how many arguments we have, you’ll always be my kid.”

Daniel smiled at that and leaned into the hug.

“I know. I love you too, dad…”

“Wow, not too cool to tell your old man you love him?” The elder grinned.

Daniel snorted.

“Shut up.”

With their differences set aside, the two would continue to improve their relationship, father and son.

AEW Collision 4/13/24

Claudio and Danielson promo. Danielson mentions Moxley winning the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship, and I gag. Danielson says Callis told Hobbs and Fletcher they don't even have to beat them, they just have to hurt them. That's funny, because it's easier to beat them than it is to hurt them. Claudio says they have been succeeding all around the world for 20 years. It isn't about what they do in front of the camera, it's about the work they put in behind the camera that allows them to make this look so easy. Danielson says violence is their specialty, and they will show that tonight, Wednesday, and next Sunday when he beats Ospreay.

House of Black vs. Dante Martin, Action Andretti, and Matt Sydal --Matthews powerbombs Sydal on Black's knees. Sydal lands a nasty poison rana on Matthews. Top Flight and Sydal try to chop HOB down with superkicks. King lays out Sydal with a huge lariat, but Dante breaks up the pin with a splash off the top. Black lands a nice moonsault off the top to the outside. Andretti with a somersault senton, Dante with a springboard 450, and Sydal off the top with double knees on King, but King catches Sydal. Corner cannonball senton from King and double sliding dropkicks from Matthews and Black on Sydal at the same time for the pinfall.

Good, fast-paced opening match. Nothing amazing. Rating: 3

Storm is backstage with Lexy. AZM wants Storm to kiss her bottom? That makes her and a thousand other perverts. I LOL'ed at her delivery of that line. Incredible. She is going to give AZM a beating so intense that it will be featured in a fetish periodical. Lmaooo. Go off, Toni.

Katsuyori Shibata vs. Lee Moriarty -- Great start on the mat. Shibata with a Figure Four. They roll outside, and Ogogo gets up from commentary and lands a cheap shot to Shibata's ribs. Moriarty lays in elbows to Shibata, who just walks into them, backing Moriarty across the ring. Shibata with hard strikes in the corner, then a butterfly suplex for two! Moriarty with an abdominal stretch, but Shibata reverses into one of his own. Shibata with a knee strike, a saito suplex, and a boot to the face. Moriarty with a boot of his own. They trade boots! Shibata gets the best of it with a big pump kick!Shibata blocks a Fang attempt, then lands the ripcord bitch slap and a PK FROM HELL!!!!! Cover! 1, 2, 3!!!

This rocked. Shibata looked so damn good here. I literally yelled out loud at that ripcord palm strike/PK from hell combo for the finish. What a wrestler, man. I feel so lucky every time I get to see him do his thing. Thank god for a singles win on AEW TV for Shibata. Moriarty held his own, looking very good as well. Rating: 3.5

Ogogo, Moriarty, and Taylor attack Shibata after the match. Hook comes out to make the save!

Athena and Billie Starkz are with Lexy backstage. Athena says she understands that Red Velvet is a threat, but Athena is the fallen goddess and the forever ROH champion, and tonight, she is going to make an example out of Velvet and show the world what they've been missing. Athena is a great, confident promo. Good stuff.

Undisputed Kingdom are with Lexy. Lexy asks if Wardlow has helped Roddy succeed. Roddy yells LEXY!!!!!! Lmao. Roddy asks how she could give credit to anybody but him. He is a fighting champion and a giving champion. Does she see the opportunities he's given to these people who don't even deserve it? He has been doing it on his own, just like his good friend Kyle O'Reilly, who has inspired him. Tonight, he is putting on a show. You know what that show is called? The beating of a lifetime. WOOHOO!!!! TELL 'EM, RODDY!!!!!! NICE!!!!!!!!!

Daniel Garcia vs. Angélico -- They trade some beautiful pinning combos to start. Garcia with a Figure Four, but Angélico turns it around, then they turn it around on each other repeatedly until they roll to the ropes to break. They trade kicks to the knees. Huge right to the face by Angélico!!! Garcia lands a beautiful neck breaker, then a big double underhook suplex. Garcia with big overhand chops, then a belly to back suplex, then locks a knee/leg lock in deep for the submission!

This was short, but I still enjoyed it very much. Garcia rocks. Rating: 3

Pac promo!!!!! Let's go!!! Believe it or not, he would like to thank Okada, not only for accepting his challenge, but for walloping him on the head with a big, dirty lump of steel. Now he has a perpetual headache that serves as motivation to remind everybody exactly who he is. He may not be tall and handsome, he does not own a Ferrari. Okada may think he's god's gift to professional wrestling, but he's not, he's crap. And what Pac is, is better than Okada. And in St. Louis, he will relish the opportunity to prove it in front of the entire world. HELL YEAH, PAC!!!!!! GO OFF!!!!!!!!

Toni Storm vs. AZM (AEW Women's World Championship Eliminator) -- Elbows by AZM, but Storm laughs them off. AZM fakes another elbow, but stomps on Storm's foot instead. Shoulder tackle by Storm takes AZM down. AZM with rapid kicks and a dropkick, then a boot to the side of Storm's head on the mat, then a double stomp to the midsection! AZM goes to the top, but Storm stops her with an overhand chop to take her down, then lands a hip attack to take her off the apron to the floor. AZM throws Storm into the steps, then lands a running kick to the face on the apron, then lands missile dropkick off the top inside. Storm with a big boot to take AZM down, then chops in the corner, then hurls her across ring, then stands on her head, then lands a back suplex for two. The trade strikes!!! Enziguri by AZM! Headbutt by Storm! Head scissors takedown by AZM!! Another big enziguri to the head by AZM with Storm on her knees!!!! Damn! Leg-trap German suplex by AZM! AZM lands a big dropkick off the top for two! Storm with a sit-out chokeslam/powerbomb for two! Storm goes for a German suplex, but AZM blocks it and catches Storm with a beautiful pinning combo for two! AZM goes for a kick, but Storm catches it and dumps AZM on her head with a German suplex, then lands a hip attack in the corner, then lands Storm Zero for the pinfall!!!

That kind of slapped?? AZM rocks, Storm was great. Awesome, hard-hitting, back and forth here. Loved it. Rating: 3.5

Storm and Mariah celebrate with champagne after the match.

Red Velvet is with Lexy. She says tonight she is laying Athena out. She is not a stranger to main events or high profile matches. She is going to show Athena and everyone else why it was a mistake for Athena to come into her house.

Mark Briscoe promo. He says he is starting to understand the MO of the HOB, how they try to strike fear in the hearts of men. But he fears no man. He, Kingston, and Copeland are violent men. And at Dynasty, they are bringing the violence.

Thunder Rosa is with Schiavone on the stage. She thanks the people for making her comeback so special. Rosa says she does not need Purrazzo's help to win her title back. She has done so much on her own. She thought Storm believed in the same principles of hard work. She says her body couldn't carry her as far as her passion, and she had to give up her title to heal. And a part of her died that day. She didn't leave here because she couldn't carry the weight of the title. At Dynasty, she will carry the title and the pride of her people and the support of her family. And if she has to break every bone in her body to uplift the women in the lockerroom, then she will. Storm made a big mistake in trying to erase the mask on her face, because Storm doesn't want to see what is underneath. She can't kill what is already dead. She is coming for the title and coming to drag Storm's soul to hell. Damn lol.

Purrazzo with a backstage promo. She says it's fine if Rosa doesn't want her help. She will help herself. When she went after the title, it wasn't personal. It was because Storm doesn't embody what it means to be champion, but she does. She challenges Mariah to match.

Fletcher and Hobbs are backstage. Fletcher says they are on a mission for the Don Callis Family to protect the golden goose. Hobbs says tonight, the Callis Family expects a hefty fine, and Danielson will not be able to walk out on his own.

Bryan Danielson and Claudio Castagnoli vs. Kyle Fletcher and Powerhouse Hobbs -- Fletcher and Hobbs jump the BCC before the bell. Danielson with round kicks to Fletcher outside, then hurls Fletcher over the barricade into the crowd. Claudio and Hobbs trade shots in the ring. Claudio hangs Hobbs over the top rope, Danielson lands a knee to the back of Hobbs' neck off the top. Claudio with a running uppercut in the corner to Fletcher. Fletcher with a big running kick to take Claudio off the apron to the floor. Fletcher locks in a sleeper on Claudio, but Claudio gets to his feet and muscles Fletcher up for a gut-wrench suplex to escape!! Nice! Tag, and Danielson lands a shotgun dropkick off the top. Danielson lands a big running lariat that takes Fletcher down, then round kicks to the chest, but Fletcher ducks an attempted kick to the head. Fletcher shoves Danielson into the ropes, and Danielson swings on the middle rope into a dropkick on Hobbs outside, then comes back around to land the round kick to Fletcher's head inside!! Danielson goes for a topé, but Hobbs catches him and slams him back-first on the apron! Danielson sends Hobbs into the ring post, then lands a running knee off the apron on Hobbs.

Fletcher with a running boot to Danielson's face outside. Then Claudio lands a running uppercut out of nowhere on Fletcher! Claudio sends Hobbs over the barricade with a running uppercut. Danielson lands round kicks to Hobbs in the crowd. Danielson takes Fletcher back to the ring. Fletcher lands a vicious running kick in the corner and a brainbuster on Danielson for two! Fletcher with big chops to Danielson outside. Fletcher peels back the mats on the floor and goes for something, but Danielson reverses with a back drop on Fletcher on the floor! Hobbs gets Danielson on his shoulders for something inside, but Claudio stops it with an uppercut to the back of Hobbs' head! Hobbs lands a lariat to send Claudio outside. Danielson lands a belly to back suplex on Fletcher off the top for two! Danielson immediately grabs the LeBell lock, but Hobbs breaks it up.

Hobbs and Claudio tag in. Claudio with rapid-fire uppercuts to Hobbs, then alternating running uppercuts to Fletcher and Hobbs in opposite corners, then a lariat to send Fletcher over the ropes to thr outside, then does the Giant Swing on Hobbs, then locks in the Sharpshooter on Hobbs! Fletcher comes in with round kicks to Claudio to try to break the hold, but Claudio holds on!!! Ah!! Danielson comes off the top, but Fletcher catches him out of midair with a superkick! Claudio lands a pop-up uppercut on Fletcher! Hobbs lands a spinebuster on Claudio for two! They all trade shots in the middle of the ring! Fletcher with some huge chops to Danielson!!!

Danielson lands an aggressive topé to Fletcher outside!!! Claudio lands a DVD on Hobbs for two! Hobbs and Claudio trade lariats, Claudio lands an uppercut, then a huge running lariat for two! Hobbs with a backdrop, but Claudio lands on his feet and runs the ropes! Fletcher grabs Claudio's leg from outside, and Hobbs lands a World's Strongest Slam on Claudio, but Danielson breaks up the pin!

Hobbs grabs a chair, but the ref takes it. Danielson lands round kicks to Hobbs outside, but Fletcher comes flying out of the ring with a topé to Danielson!! Fletcher and Hobbs clear the announce table! Hobbs backdrops Danielson, but Claudio lands a huge running uppercut to Hobbs! Claudio lands a hurricanrana off the announce table on Fletcher, sending him into the apron!!!! Geez! Claudio then rolls Fletcher inside and lands the Neutralizer for the pinfall!!!

Oh my god, what a match!! Just crazy, chaotic goodness without stepping too far outside the rules of tag team wrestling. It felt like the violent match it was set up to be, with Fletcher and Hobbs acting as Callis' mercenaries. Fantastic, intense, crazy action from start to finish with all four guys looking incredible. I think it would have meant a lot more for Fletcher and Hobbs to get a win here. But I get it, and it is what it is. Rating: 4

Takeshita attacks Danielson after the match, and lands a nasty brainbuster on the ramp!!! Nice!!!!!!!!

[this-world-of-beautiful-monsters]

midnight thoughts about how good lis2 is at exploring the fuckery inherent in different american institutions, like of course police violence is the driving force, but it's intertwined with so much other shit.

in ep 1 you've got a specific focus on cop shootings and the way Black and Brown victims/survivors are culturally demonized with breaktaking speed. in ep 2 they explore small-town americana the way lis1 did, particularly how such places are often unsafe for outsiders and how the families who make them up keep their own capacity for violence and dysfunction behind closed doors. ep 3 is all about capitalistic exploitation, especially for people whose shaky legal statuses already make them particularly vulnerable, and how harshly those businesses respond when you try to fight back. ep 4 is white evangelical christianity and its historical role in separating, exploiting, abusing, and assimilating families of color, not to mention the violence inherent in its queerphobic and anti-science ideologies. finally in ep 5 it all ties together at the border, a weapon of colonial separation enforced with both private acts of citizen violence and federal brutality, where the Latino family has to choose being either violently separated or staying together through their own violent responses.

and the way the cops are driving force behind all of this because they protect and enforce all the other american institutions of violence, because they keep a "peace" built on suffering. it's fucked up and terrifying and everywhere and lis2 is so goddamn right when it says that sometimes all people really can do is run for their fucking lives.

faces for the supers (&co.) from Matthew Cody's Powerless series

Daniel, Mollie, Eric

Louisa, Rose, Rohan

Michael, Simon, Theo

these aren't really set in stone but I wanted to get the ideas of their appearances out of my brain.

[scarareg]

Am I the only one who thinks Wanna One and ZB1 have the same vibes?

Like,both use light blue in their concept going on ,come from MNET,break records and have soooooooo much potential to be one of the biggest groups ever even if they last so short. The members give this wholesome af aura,and they are super talented as well;the choreous and songs have the same vibe,etc.

I mean,even their respective Produce seasons ended up creating another group with the members that did not won , and that did not happened with the other seasons.

Just in general,they reeeeeally feel the same. Truly brother groups. Like ZB1 captures what made Wanna One so special too.

Because they even feel different from other Produce groups. What I mean with this is that each group have their own aura that wasn't THAT similar . Even X1 felt so different,and that's fine; but it's crazy that other group can feel so close to what Wanna One felt like.

Random thoughts:

I feel so incredibly lucky to be able to read black women writers at work it’s such a magnificent experience. It’s life affirming and eye-opening and a specific look into all these incredible women writers lives and I’m learning about folks I don’t know a lot about on a person level and I love to read their thoughts and see their connections and linkages to each other. It’s incredible

Matthew Desmond is like — he’s Tim Wise of this America shit. Tim Wise with nothing but pure facts, not to say Tim Wise ain’t got facts because both of them got facts on facts! Poverty, by America has got me in its grip. It’s so good.

Red Island House is weird but also what I need sometimes. It’s such a unique and gothic sort of novel in its execution. It’s giving African gothic and im here for it.. I love the dynamic of the married couple — gorgeous, well educated Black woman who speaks multiple languages experiencing Africa moved from the US to Italy married an Italian, who built this crazy masterpiece of a house in Madagascar. It’s different, but engaging. So much going on in the town it’s giving Edwidge Danticat vibes.

Perfect Peace is traumatizing. I love Daniel Black but I’ve reached a place in this book where I’m scared for everyone involved. It’s a lot. Well-written as usual but my heart is beating outta my chest!

Small Joys is a sleeper hit. It’s so fucking good. Levels and layers to this shit good. Mensah is really making me feel like I’m in a mix of Queenie and I May Destroy You!

Pillars of the Earth — I’m loving this novel as a homestead type of novel. An anchor to come back to, it’s my long story to continually engage with when I want my brain to feel connected to a people.. a world.. something. Yo only crazy readers know what I mean by that. If you’ve ever read Harry Potter, LOTR you know what I mean by that. I get why people read long series that never end it’s like a place to stash your mind.

Urgent Life is good but boring

Sweet Vengeance sweet hot and dirty and you know what it’s fun can’t complain
