TickleTober2024/Day 11 - Noise

Genshin Impact - Kinich x Aether

Kinich hurriedly turned around the tree, pressing his back flat against the bark and closing his eyes shut. His chest waved from the sudden peak of activity and he could still feel the little kicks of adrenaline in his blood. Why, of all people, why did the traveler had to have such idea?!

“Kinich!” Aether called, seemingly not from as far as Kinich wanted him to be - which meant that the traveler somewhat managed to stay in his tracks. “Come on, heh, I’m not going to tickle you ~” Aether continued, crossing his fingers behind his back while looking left and right, trying to spot any signs of where the other guy could be hiding.

Kinich, from his hiding spot, flinched just at the mention of the word, feeling the warmth spread from his cheeks down to his neck.

He just needed to stay quiet for a little while, Kinich was sure he could escape getting tickled any further if he did so. And truth to be told, he was probably right, however…

“What are you doing, you moron?!” A piercing, annoying voice shouted next to Kinich, making the hunter widen his eyes. Ajaw!! “He is right h-hHMPHM!!”

Covering Ajaw’s mouth and ‘choking’ him with an armlock wasn’t the most efficient way to shut the little dragon’s mouth, but it was the best Kinich could think of at the verge of despair. “H-hush,” Kinich whispered,pressing Ajaw’s body against his as he tried to check if Aether noticed that noise or not.

Ajaw, however, didn’t seem really glad about being interrupted like that. Flying yellow dots waved and flayed in the air, hitting the hunter’s body with the hopes of freeing himself. “MHMMPH!! HMMPH!”

“Q-quiet,” Kinich insisted, bending over Ajaw’s slightly, trying to stop his squirming. He gritted his teeth, figuring if he should try snapping the dragon’s to shut any noise. “H-he will find us and-”

“And what if I do find you?” Aether hummed, suddenly ‘popping’ off from behind the tree and already poking Kinich’s on his side, making the hunter gasp in surprise and fall to the ground on his butt, also freeing Ajaw in the process. “I was wondering what all that noise was, so it was Ajaw, after all.”

“Took you long enough, you slithering worm!” Ajaw cursed, his face red from his burning fury, “now do something good for once and get this moron for what he did to the Almighty Dragonlord, K'uhul Ajaw!! Kill him! Tear him to pieces!” 

Both Kinich and Aether rolled their eyes, one less amused than the other at the little tantrum. 

“Get lost already,” Kinich groaned while watching Ajaw float from one of Aether’s shoulders to the other, trying to make him listen to one of his suggestions.

Aether, however, already had a better ‘punishment’ in mind for the hunter, grinning as he walked over him. “Don’t worry, I don’t plan to listen to him… I just want to know if you are ticklish ~”

“...I’d rather have you listening to hi-ahAH! A-Aehehether! We wehehere talking, w-wahait!”

A/N: This time I wanted to do something you guys would enjoy reading and I got one or two asks about this guy... so I decided to try my hand at write the new dendro boy ~

I hope he (or his little dragon) doesn't sound too ooc tho, hahah

Understanding Feelings

Tickletober 2024 - Day 3: Cleaning

Link(s) to Art: Kinich (@ToffyNarufy); Kazuha (@Genshin_7)

Summary: Kinich is jealous he can’t spend as much time with Aether compared to a certain Adeptus. Kazuha talks to him about it.

A/N: This took way longer than I wanted it to. I wasn’t sure how to describe everyone’s feelings in the poly ship and make it flow, but I made it work out in the end…to my liking at least. It isn’t easy writing with so many characters and considering how they love one another but I hope it comes off clear and to your liking. If you have any suggestions on how to write poly ships and all that, let me know. Even though it is self-indulgent, I want to do it right. On another note, hopefully, I did these two justice since I haven’t seen much fan work of them. Kinda nervous when you write a ship that’s not established or recognized in the fandom. Nonetheless, hope you enjoy this one :)

“Well, that’s not edible.”

Kazuha, Sethos, and Kinich stared at the smoking pan that held what was supposed to be the pumpkin pie but was now a scorched, black waste.

“And more like a pile of garbage.”

Sethos and Kazuha eyed Kinich with an amused look.

“You're starting to sound like Ajaw. Are you sure he hasn't taken over your body?”

“I'm myself, don’t worry.”

Sethos went to open the window to get rid of the residual smoke while Kinich threw the contents of the pan in the trash.

“I’ll get the ingredients and stuff to bake a new one,” Sethos says. “You both can clean the kitchen.”

Before either of them could say anything, Sethos was out of the house.

“He's just like Gaming, always ready to help out,” Kazuha chuckled.

He looked over in the dining room and saw Gaming and Heizou hanging up the decorations. Heizou sitting on his shoulders putting up the decorations.

Gahahaming! Dohohon't squeeze my thihighs lihihike thahahat! I’ll fahahahall!

I’ll stop once you finish, so just work faster~

“Kaz, we got cleaning to do,” Kinich called out to him.

“Oh, right.”

Kinich was already running the water at the sink and soaping the dishes and utensils that were already inside.

“Can you grab whatever is left on the counter and put them here?” Kinich called over his shoulder.

Kazuha hummed in response, gathering the stuff that needed to be washed and placing them beside Kinich.

“Thanks.”

“No problem.”

Kazuha took whatever was dry from the drying rack and put them away before returning and wrapping his arms around Kinich’s waist and setting his chin on his shoulder, placing a kiss on his neck before humming a tune.

Kinich maintained his composure at the sudden affection and ticklish feeling that was starting to spread across his neck. Goosebumps rose on his neck and a smile he couldn't hold back appeared on his face. Unbeknownst to Kinich, Kazuha caught sight of it from the reflection on the window and grinned.

“What is that tune you're humming?” Kinich asks him, after a few moments of tranquility.

“Since fall is here and there are leaves around, it's my specialty to come up with something to accompany them and it's this.”

“Elegant as always, aren't you?”

“It all comes naturally to me.”

Another peaceful silence hangs over them before Kazuha breaks it with a question.

“How do you like it? Being with us I mean.”

“It's nice,” Kinich answers, turning off the water and thinking. “I never thought that loving Aether would bring me to meet you and everyone else. Though…”

An expression quickly flashes across his face, too fast for Kazuha to make out what it is.

“Though what?”

“Is Xiao usually by Aether's side all the time?”

Kazuha raises his eyebrows in surprise.

“Now that you mention it, he usually is. Aether and Xiao have been through a lot together and he has softened up as Aether became the shining light in his heart. Xiao promised him that he should call out his name if he needs anything and he will appear right by his side no matter what.”

“Oh.”

Kinich felt a tug at his heart as he remembered what he told Aether before.

“For you, I'll do anything, Aether.”

He clasped his hands in his before leaning forward and letting their lips connect into a passionate kiss.

Kazuha eyed the troubled look in his eyes, now understanding. Jealousy. He's seen it many times and has felt it too when he wanted to be with Aether and seeing him with one of their lovers (he loves his other lovers, don't get him wrong), he can't help feeling jealous in wanting Aether all to himself for some private time. He knows how it feels.

But he couldn't help but tease him a bit, a smirk making its way on his face as he nibbled his ears making him let out a surprised yelp and out of his thoughts.

“Is the great, ‘Malipo’ Kinich jealous?” he teasingly whispers.

Kinich gasps before turning and trying to glare at him, willing the smile on his face away.

“I'm not jealous.”

“Yes, you are.”

“I'm- AHAHAHAHA!”

Kinich threw his head back in surprised laughter when Kazuha blew a raspberry on his neck.

“What was that? I couldn't hear you over your laughter~” Kazuha blew another one, stealing a kiss from his lips too.

“MmphehaHAHaHA! Ihihi tohohold youhuhu I'm nohohot jehehealous! LEhehet gohoho!”

“I don't believe you. It's okay to say you're jealous y'know.”

“I'm nohohot jealous of ahahany-! Wait! WahAHAIT! Kahahazuhuhu! Dohohon't gohoho thehehere!” he panicked, feeling Kazuha's fingers starting to crawl up to his upper sides and ribs.

“Hmm?” Kazuha hummed innocently as his hands continued to slowly travel upwards.

“K-Kahazuhaha! Plehehease! Dohohon't dohoho ihihit!”

Kazuha never heard Kinich be so frantic before as he desperately tried to tug at his wrists and shake him off.

“Do you want me to stop?” Kazuha asks, slowing down with concern laced in his voice.

Kinich just looks away in response as the last of his giggles fade.

“Kinich? Was it too much? I’m sorry. I-”

“No, it’s fine I…”

Kazuha looks at his face and beyond the red hue from laughing, he sees a subtle blush dusting his face and the tips of his ears.

“It’s just I’m too…t-ticklish…”

A silence settles upon them and the longer it stretches his blush intensifies.

“K-KazuHAHAHAHA?!”

Kinich squeals as he feels fingers dart upwards and pinch his upper ribs and massage his sides, crumbling between the sink and his boyfriend.

“Is the great, ‘Malipo’ Kinich jealous and extremely ticklish?”

“NAHAHAHAT THEHEHERE! KAHAHAHAZ!”

He hides his laughing face in his hands as he leans on the edge of the sink for support.

“Oh Kimchi~ You are adorable~”

“IHIHI’M NOHOHOT A PIEHEHECE OF FOHOHOOD! AHAHAHAHA! OHOHOR ADORABLEHEHEHE!”

“I think otherwise, Kinichi~”

Kazuha starts nibbling his neck and makes nom nom noises along with kneading his ribs and sides.

“Om-nom-nom, so tasty~”

Kinich loses it, shaking his head to try and throw him off

“GAHAHAHAHA! NOHOHOHO MOREHEHEHE KAHAHAZUHAHAHA! HAHAHAHA!”

“Just say the words, Kin~”

“OKAY! OKAHAHAHAY! I’M JEALOUS OF XIAHAHAHAO! I SAHAHAID IHIHIT! PLEHEHEHASE! STAHAHAHAP! KAHAHAZ!”

Kinich slides down to the floor in exhaustion as Kazuha lets him, thinking it's over before gasping and letting out an undignified whine when he feels him straddling him. Kazuha took in his form, flushed face with tears of mirth threatening to fall. Giggles slipping out of him unrestrained as he weakly tries to push him off.

Archons, he's adorable looking like this.

He starts tickling him again, rubbing deep circles on his worst spot and Kinich howls in laughter and thrashes as much as he is allowed to.

“BWAHAHAHAHA! KAHAHAZUHUHU! IHIHIHIT’S TOHOHOHOO MUCH! NAHAHAHAHA!”

“Tell me you are adorable, and I'll finally stop.”

“NOHOHO WAHAHAY! I'M NOHOHOT SAHAHAYING THAHAT!”

“I’ll say it for you then,” he gets close to his ear, not slowing down the tickling. “You're so cute laughing like this, Kinichi~ Your beautiful laughter is music to my ears.”

Kinich is beyond flustered and swears he feels more ticklish as Kazuha continues to compliment him.

“WAHAHAHAIT! DOHOHON'T SAHAHAY THOHOHOSE THIHIHINGS!”

“Look at that blushing face. You like this huh? You're an adorable, ticklish one aren't you~”

“KAHAHAZHUHUHAHAHA! STAHAHAP IHIHIT! FIHIHINE! I'M ADORAHAHAHABLE! I'M ADORABLEHEHE! PLEHEHEASE! MEHEHERCY!”

Kazuha slowed down, nibbling his ears affectionately before kissing him and taking his breath away.

“Wasn’t that hard, was it?”

“Whahahatehever. You're cruel, you know thahat?”

Kazuha laughs, carrying him up and setting him on a chair by the counter, and grabbing two cups of water before sitting beside him.

“Back to what we were talking about before,” he says like he didn't tickle him to death a moment ago.

Kinich snorted, taking a sip from his cup.

“What?”

“You almost killed me with tickles, and you talk as if it was nothing. Ajaw would’ve been proud of you if you actually killed me through such means.”

“Oh, come on. You know I wouldn't kill you. Besides, you looked like you were enjoying yourself~”

Kinich blushed, hiding behind his cup.

“Can you stop teasing me?”

Kazuha chuckles.

“Okay. Okay. I'll stop. What I was about to say is that it's okay to be jealous.”

Kinich looks at him over his cup in surprise.

“Why do you say that?” he asks, setting down his cup.

“Believe it or not, I get jealous too. And the others too. We all want to be with Aether and spend alone time with him.”

“Oh. I never thought that you all would be jealous. I thought it was just me.”

“You’re not alone. We all want a piece of our small ball of sunshine, but we respect each other’s desires and who we want to be with. For example, if I’m not with Aether, I’m with Heizou, Scara, you, or one of the others. It’s really all about sharing each other with one another.”

“I see.”

“Yeah. Don’t stress about it. Besides, Aether somehow always makes time for each one of us and we all love him for that.”

“…Thank you, Kaz.”

“Who’s ready to make pumpkin pie? Take two this time.”

Sethos strides in with all the ingredients and necessary cookware with a grin on his face as he sets them on the counter in front of them.

“Right on time, Seth,” Kazuha says, rising from his chair and then looking at Kinich he says, “We all love you, Kin. Especially Aether, don’t forget that.”

He then moves close to his ear, whispering, “And how can we not love your adorable blush and cute laugh~”

Kinich looks away as another blush starts taking over his face.

“S-Shut up.”

“What did you say to him, Kazuha? His face is like a tomato. It’s pretty cute.”

“Ugh,” Kinich groans, covering his face in his hands making them both laugh.

“Okay, that’s enough teasing for now. Let’s bake that pie now, shall we?”

“Yup!”

“Mhm.”

The chase

Hi guys, I am madly in love with this character. And guess what, this is Naruto and Sasuke'a VA! In Japanese. I seriously wrote this tk fic as they speak in Japanese. Omg! I love them even more. Ps. We need more lee!kinich... I summon it!

Summary: Paimon is convinced Kinich is scary, but Aether thinks otherwise. It was a quiet day in Natalan until Aether started a bet with Paimon to prove her wrong. New discoveries were made, and unsurprisingly, a certain dragon lord commits betrayal.

Warning: Spoilers for the nataln archon quest and Kinich's quest, tickling, cuteness overload, Aether and Kinich are very close, but mind you, it's a platonic relationship (can't ship them yet)

"So you Paimon is supposed to believe that Kinich is actually... uh... a sweetheart?" Paimon crossed her arms in confusion. Floating around as Aether walked through the city of mountains, the scion of the canopy.

Aether shrugs, giving her a confident smirk "Well... he may appear blank but he's very nice and he doesn't hide it... not like a certain wanderer ..."

Paimon guessed Hat guy from Sumeru might have sneezed by that mention.

"But he's so cold and Paimon can't really see the guy smile..." Paimon huffs now, as if its the biggest worries for her, "its frightening how blank Kinich is..."

"What's frightening about me Paimon?"

A soft voice made Paimon shrill in surprise making her gasp and wheeze. Aether mildly turns back with a less-reactive surprised expression at seeing the saurian hunter.

"Hi Kinich,"

Kinich greets them politely, "Traveler, Paimon how do u do?"

Paimon recovering from her shock, groans, "Jeez Paimon almost got a heart attack! Stop sneaking up on us like that... your quiet anyway unlike your pixel-poop-mouth!"

Ajaw snarls, "Who are you calling poop-mouth, tiny ant?"

"Oh and Paimon's bigger than you!"

They continue bickering making Aether sheepishly give Kinich an apologetic look, "Sorry about that..."

"I should be the one to apologise..." kinich replies solemnly, making Aether like this guy more for his awkward informal side.

"Ajaw, do you want another time out?"

Ajaw turns to kinich, his mouth dropping in anguish. "Grrr! Fine, fine! I won't torment the anaemic ant!"

"Hehe" Paimon smirks. "Know your place little dragon lord!"

Aether rolls his eyes, "Paimon... behave"

Paimon pouts, looking sideways, "awww alright im sorry Kinich... and maybe Ajaw"

"Maybe??"

Ignoring Ajaw's short snap, Kinich shakes his head, a hand to his chest. "Don't be Paimon. You're actually a kind companion to the traveller..." he adds deliberately after casting a look at Ajaw, "It makes me jealous"

"Huh? I'm more powerful ya know! Oi! Kinich!"

Aether hears Paimon floating towards Kinich, "Kinich, you don't smile much, do you?"

Kinich slightly astonished responds, "I beg your pardon? I do..."

"When?" Partly challenging and partly curious.

"Like... right now?"

They all stared. Even Kinich seemed uncertain about what he just said. Paimon huffs, mildly irritated, "OK so... laughing? Ever dont that before..."

Ajaw floats around Kinich, his pixel hands patting his shoulder, "Haa hahaa would love to see that embarassing sight."

Kinich shrugs him off, the bandana making him seem like he's angry but he's just frustrated with Ajaw.

"All the more reason why I should not"

Ajaw being slightly pushed away but regains balance in air comes swirling back to him with a cunning sneer, "Uh oh someone's a little defensive... afraid I'll exploit a weakness?"

Aether sense tension, usually he would've stepped in to stop Kinich's discomfort with Ajaw but knowing the topic he was curious where this was going.

Paimon is no better now - contrast to Ajaw's scheming malice - she steps in to prompt Ajaw's hint, "Oooh does this mean he does laugh?"

Kinich folds his arms, somewhat wary where this was going. Yet he failed to notice where Ajaw just disappeared.

"I do, but not all the time -"

"Yeah, just poke him like this, and he'll go gyaaahaahaa!" Ajaw swiftly pokes Kinich around the waist close to the small of his back, making him spasm in shock, gasping, "Oi!"

Silence. Paimon's eyes widened, and so did Aether's. They all exchanged glances. Now Ajaw proudly danced and shook his tail, as if he got the best victory after 500 years.

"Kinich?" Aether smirks, now barely hiding his excitement, "Are you ticklish?"

The saurian hunter now stared, knowing there's no other way to dodge the question. He swiftly seized Ajaw's tail, now activating his grappling hook. He swings off till he disappeared through the clouds.

His flight instincts kicked in. Paimon stared in bewilderment, but she was the only one until Aether began to take the one-sided challenge.

Somewhere by the top of the mountains in Scion of the canopy, Kinich cautiously looked by the trees, hoping he had escaped. He knew now or never... and his experience in running away has been helpful.

"Baa! You coward..." Ajaw scoffed, now teasing, "Were you that scared?"

"It was not fright... I just don't like the thought of showing the traveller such an absurd state" he sternly added "and you're officially in time out"

Ajaw grumbled now, waving his small pixel arms "Grr... whatever, but you know Kinich"

"What?"

"Running away doesn't always help ya... when there's a good seeker"

He frowns, looking somewhat confused by this indirect analogy. "What do you-?"

"Gotcha!" Aether swings by instantly now tackling (not on purpose) Kinich as they both tumbled to the ground.

"J-jeez traveller be careful" Kinich groan, now sounding concerned. "Don't use that hook, so lightly"

Aether chuckles straddling him. "Thanks your a nice guy... now ever heard of the saying "you can run but you can't hide" Kinich?"

Before he could struggle he already felt nimble fingers attacking his sides.

"O-ohokay w-wahait tihihihime ohohout!"

His giggles are soft and yet very childish. Aether stares in wonder... he had heard many sweet voices but hearing Kinich like this is like a dream in Nahida's world.

"Wow.. you're sensitive, Ajaw wasn't lying"

Ajaw smirks "Hehe that was one of the weaknesses that I'm proud of exploiting in him"

"You mean the only one?" Paimon scoffs.

"Ah! Took you long enough useless ant"

"You! You pixel weirdo!" Paimon stomps her foot on the air angrily and begins bickering with Ajaw.

Kinich and Aether... well they have other better matters to attend to.

"So tell me, is this spot worse than this?" His fingers creeping towards his hips making him buck in surprise, grabbing Aether's wrists which didn't help, "Ah! Aether!"

"You said my name! Nice!" He gets his hips and then back to his waist... slipping the jacket down a little bit to access the skin.

"Ahaharchons juhuhuhust stohohohop a mihihinute plehehehehease!" Kinich curls to the side, suddenly his laughter getting louder when Aether targets his ribs with swift unpredictable speed.

"Uh oh ribs? That's not good... especially since your swinging around..." Aether smirks, now tapping and prodding his ribs as Kinich jerks to his back to protect his sides. His long lashes damp with tears.

"And you won't be able to swing comfortable knowing how vulnerable here..." he pinches the highest set ribs with indication "Oh and perhaps under here?" Slipping his fingers right under his arms making Kinich let an (honest to archon) a squeak.

"You're a sweetheart"

"Ihihihi ahahahahappreciahahahate the cohohohompliment buhuhuhut y-yohohohour kihihilling mehehe!" He giggles now. Trying to cover his worst spots as much as he could.

Aether laughed, now pausing a little, instead keeping his wrists pinned on either side of Kinich's head to keep him in anticipation.

"OK ok! Sorry, I always had to break the serious guys in this world."

Kinich groans, slightly huffs of laughter now calming down at the small break.

"Ajaw said Kinich has a weak neck!"

Paimon's sudden outburst on that fact made Kinich shiver. Aether turns to her first then back at him, a very mischievous smile that made Kinich shake his head a little, somewhat pitiful.

"Tch! The mighty dragon lord knows what a whimp he is but he still refuses to die.. bahahawahaha" Ajaw cackles in a sinister tone "Oh laugh to death Kinich!"

Aether rolls his eyes, "we are not killing him, just playing around... like friends"

Kinich's eyes that used to be blank slightly glistened with brightness, "Friends?"

"Yup and friends... make friends happy!" Aether wiggles his fingers right over his collarbone and throat lightly. Kinich knees kicked up in reflex, but they didn't stop Aether's fiery determination to tickle him.

"Ahaha Aetheheheher hehehee cuhuhuhut ihihit out! Hahaha ok ok y-yohohohou won! You won! Ok! Just mehehehercy! Mercy!

After that implore, Aether stopped tearfully laughing as well, falling next to Kinich, eyes bright golden and with bliss, "ohoho man that was so funny... im glad I saw this side of you..."

Kinich's breath was somewhat heavier as he managed to grab his composure swiftly as an amazing athlete "I-I uh... thank you traveler... I guess it wasn't that bad"

Ajaw growls, "Awwww, come on! I bet if you got his armpits more seriously next, he might not say that! Come on, traveler, I'm begging ya! Tickle this guy to death -g-gaaaaaaah curseeeee youuuu!"

Once more he just got confined into a space suddenly gone. Kinich sighs as he puts Ajaw away easily, resting an arm over his hip as he gets up now tired but somewhat... relaxed?

"Hey Kinich..."

He jolts when Aether poked his armpit that was exposed, making him stare in surprise "That's round two the next time we meet? And don't listen to Ajaw... tickling isn't something bad... its what friends do to have fun"

Kinich silently debated this answer... smiling genuinely. Perhaps Mualani was right... friends are amazing.

"Well come by traveler... its much livelier here with you around" Kinich offers, now giving an awkward smile.

"Aww miss me already?" Aether grins, then nudged him, "or the tickles"

"Just... you" he grunts, but looking sideways, with a timid look that seemed to have never appeared until today.

Aether will cherish that moment forever and also his laugh.

Tickletober Week 3: Change Your Mind

Kinich/Lumine

a cute blushing Kinich for your viewing pleasure 💚

Summary: Kinich thinks he's not ticklish, and Lumine wants to see if she can change his mind

Characters: lee!Kinich, ler!Lumine

⚠️ This fic takes place after the 5.1 archon quest

“You should really smile more often, Kinich. It looks good on you,” Lumine said, booping Kinich on the nose.

Kinich looked at Lumine’s finger as she booped him, going cross eyed for a second. He blinked and shook his head. “I-I do smile,” he said, avoiding her gaze.

The two of them were currently sitting in one of the hot springs in their swimsuits (courtesy of Mualani). Mualani had insisted that the two of them go for a dip after the catastrophe they had just been through. She even offered to hang out with Paimon and Ajaw for the day so that they could have some real alone time.

“Barely! I mean a real, genuine smile.”

Kinich looked down at his hands in his lap.

“Make sure he enjoys himself,” Lumine recalled Mualani saying to her. “He can be so stubborn at times. He deserves to smile every once in a while!” Suddenly, she got an idea.

“Hey, Kinich…” Lumine started. It’s worth a shot, she thought.

“Yes?”

“Are you… ticklish?”

“No.”

Such certainty! “Really? Are you sure?”

“I mean, I don’t think I am. Mualani has tried a couple times and I didn’t feel anything…”

“Would you mind if I gave it a try?”

“I don’t know…”

“You said you’d do anything for me, Kinich…” Lumine put her hand under his chin, gently guiding his gaze towards hers. “Please, let me try.”

A faint pink hue dusted Kinich’s cheeks. “Oh, uh, o-okay. You can try if you really want to.”

“Thank you!”

As Lumine scooted closer, Kinich became very aware that he was only wearing swim trunks. He had been fully clothed each time Mualani had tried to tickle him before. Surely this wouldn’t make much of a difference… right?

Lumine lifted her hands and-

“W-wait!” Kinich threw his hands up in front of himself protectively, accidentally splashing Lumine in the process. “S-sorry, I’m just nervous…”

“It’s okay! Let me know when you’re ready.”

“It’s not going to hurt, is it?”

“No no, not at all! I’ll start slow. I want this to be an enjoyable experience for you. You can tell me to stop at any point and I will.”

“Okay…”

“Do you want me to massage you a little first? You look really tense. I don’t want to stress you out any further. It should feel nicer if you’re relaxed anyway.”

“Oh, sure.” Kinich turned to face away from her.

Lumine gently placed her hands on Kinich’s shoulders and started massaging them. He melted into her touch, a blissful feeling washing over him. When did she get so good at this? Some time went by and, without realizing, he started to lean back into her. He rested his head on her chest.

“Feel good? I’ve never seen you nearly this relaxed before.”

“Mm…? Oh, yeah, feels good…” Kinich said, half asleep.

Lumine slowed down her massage and began lightly rubbing his neck and shoulders instead. He had seemingly no reaction to this. Then, her fingers trailed upwards towards his ears. She fluttered her fingers against them, hoping to get some kind of reaction out of him. His head twitched slightly. She continued scritching his ears along with his neck and under his chin.

“Whahat are you dohoing?”

“Tickling you!”

“Oh, I didn’t know-aAAH!

Lumine reached underneath the water and wiggled her fingers in between his ribs. Kinich felt a very pleasant tingly sensation like no other beginning to spread all over his torso, starting from where Lumine was touching him.

“Ehehehe! Whahahahahat is happening!?”

“You’re being tickled, that’s what’s happening. Is it okay?”

“I thihink so… You’re doing it much lighter than whahat Muhalahahahani did.”

“I can do it harder~” Lumine said, digging her fingers into his ribs.

“AIIIEEHEHEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”

“So you are ticklish! You just needed to relax a bit.”

“AHAHA STAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”

“If you really want me to stop, say Yumkasaur,” Lumine said as she wriggled her hands up into Kinich’s armpits.

“NaaAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”

After a few seconds of tickling him there, she lifted him up and turned him around to face her. His face was bright red.

“Th-this is embaharrassing…”

“You don’t mind it though, do you?”

“N-no…” he said, barely audible.

Lumine lifted Kinich’s feet up onto her lap. She put one of her legs over his ankles, trapping his feet there. She started scratching all over his feet, making him jump and go into hysterics.

“WAIT STOPSTOPSTOPSTAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAP!!” Kinich waved his hands out in front of him, batting at Lumine’s hands with little effort.

“Good spot, huh?”

“AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! *hic* I CAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAN’T!! Ohoho my AhahahARCHAHAHAHA *hic* HAHAHAHAHA! N-NAHAHAHAT THEHEHEHERAHAHAHAHAHA *hic* HAHAHAHA!”

Lumine focused her attack on the balls of his feet, causing him to screech and repeatedly slap the water.

“EEEEEEEEEK! LUHUMIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHINE!!”

“Hey, you’re getting my hair wet!”

“IHIHI CAHAHAHAHAHAHAN’T HEHEHEHEHELP IT!”

Lumine let up a little, now only lightly tickling Kinich’s feet. He could not stop giggling.

“Ehehehehehehehe *snort* ihihit tihihihihickles!”

“You’re too cute, you know that?”

“Nohohoho I’m nahahahahahahat!”

“Coochie coo~ Tickle tickle tickle, Kinich!”

“DOhoHOHOhon’t sahAHAhaHAY thahAHAhahAHAHAT!”

“That’s exactly the kind of smile I was looking for!”

Kinich was beaming. Satisfied, Lumine finally released his feet. He pulled them back into the water very quickly, but no matter what he did, he couldn’t stop smiling. It still tickled, even though she wasn’t tickling him anymore. He rubbed his feet, trying to get rid of the phantom sensations.

“Your face and ears are so red,” Lumine pointed out.

Kinich covered his face with his hands.

“Did you have fun?”

He nodded, still hiding.

“I bet Mualani will be very happy to hear about this.”

“Hhnng…” Kinich groaned. “Just, don’t tell Ajaw. I’ll never hear the end of it…”

“I won’t, I promise.”

SBZNVCNFBXBKDKF I know this is literally SO random but magicpixel has taken over my heart and of course I'm going to do headcanons of them!!

TW: Mentions of abuse.

Hc's below the cut!!

Lyney:

Lyney is a MASSIVE ler

I mean, being the oldest to 2 siblings?

He's very experienced with tickling compared to Kinich

80% ler, 20% lee

Just because he's mainly the ler doesn't mean he's never the lee

His worst spot is his armpits and because they're shown off in his outfit, it gets taken advantage of whenever he's the lee

TEASY.

OH MY GOD HE TEASES HIS LEES SO BAD

THINGS LIKE "which is worse, here? *tickles a really bad spot* orrr here?~ *tickles a really bad spot*"

AND WHICHEVER HIS LEE PICKS, HE STAYS IN THAT SPOT

He somehow knows his lees worst spots

R.I.P Kinich

Wheezer and giggler

Kinich:

He never had much experience with tickling in his life

Due to growing up in a household where his dad hit his mum and him on the daily, tickling was never really an option when he was a kid.

Though, when he met Lyney, all of that changed.

See this lovely boy is extremely ticklish, more ticklish than Lyney, and Lyney has more experience with being a ler AND he has the advantage here

90% lee, 10% ler

Worst spots are his thighs and his back.

Squeezing his thighs will send him into hysterics

Gently tracing patterns on his back will drive him CRAZY

but doing it at the same time?

Oh god he screams bloody murder

Giggler and a squealer, sometimes squeaks and snorts

His laugh is ADORABLE

you wouldn't expect it from someone who is so nonchalant

Ajaw teases him for it, all the time

Teases work so well on him

THAT'S IT!!! I kinda yapped on this one but they're so cute!! Ahahsgshshdhjsnsbd

:3

[liclky]

Kinich's T-Headcanons!!

🍥:Well hello, in the lack of T content about Natlan's characters (especially a certain dendro boy) I am doing this.

I even came back to Genshin after not playing in years just because of Kinich and it's crazy, I got him!, now he is part of my children muahaha.

**Warnings: kinda spoilers about his lore, itty bitty Kinilani (platonic if you want) and a little angst.

*My English is not very good either!

~~~

° Even though he looks pretty tough and a bit cold, he's such a sweetheart, so you're more likely to see him being a lee than a ler (cough cough* Mualani's fault).

° I think he's not very ticklish, you could get him any spot and he'd be able to not laugh, however there are certain spots where the slightest touch makes him squeal.

° Under his chin, his torso, ears and his shoulders! tickle him there and the boy will immensely begin to combust along with the softest and most adorable giggles you have ever heard.

° I doubt he's actually laughing out loud, he seems like the type of guy who speak quietly and low too. The least you'll get is a snort, the most is giggles along with hiccups and squeals.

° I also don't think he talks much or says things like "stop", he just laughs there. Only if the ler tease him he will starts protesting.

° As he says in one of his voice lines, he's not a friend you seek out for comfort but, he have a soft spot for Kachina. Which means he tickles her to cheer her up.

° He is very gentle and soft when he's tickling someone, nothing too fast or too rough, probably just tracing circles and gently moving his fingers on the lee's spots.

° Listen to me carefully, he smiles as he tickles his lee, Kinich. He. Smiles.

° Soft ler and shy lee, That's all.

° He will only let himself be tickled if it is someone close to him, he will also only tickle people close to him like Mualani, Kachina and the traveler.

° Mualani is always looking for the perfect situation to catch Kinich off guard, she loves to see him all shy and blushing (ah yes, he is blushy lee).

° Her favorite way to tickle him is surprise attacks, she might be sneaking up behind him and grabbing his sides to tease, then comes the tickling. They could also be talking and Mualani starts poking him to build anticipation.

° Growing up in an abusive home and being left without a family at 7 y/o meant that he didn't really know there was any other kind of physical contact besides beatings, It was until he met Mualani.

° So he prefers (and is probably more effective with him) gentle tickling, tickles soft as feathers and he will be dead.

° His biggest lers are probably the traveler and Mualani, "I'll do anything for you" said Kinich before deeply regretting when the traveler suggested tickling him.

° He doesn't see tickling and laughter as something bad or unpleasant, he just doesn't like his laughter very much. That's why it's not usually easy convinced him to actually join on some tickle fights or games.

~~~

That's all for now, I have scenarios in mind for him but honestly, I'm tired.

Either way, I hope you enjoyed it and if you pull for Kinich I wish you the best of luck!!

[nekoma-not-lee]

Tickletober Day 2 - Chase

Genshin Impact - ler!Kinich, lee!Neko

After Neko finally got Kinich to join their party, they were in high spirits. But then they remembered the rules…and bolted. How will this game of chase end, I wonder?

This pairing is implied romantic, but can be seen as platonic!

Kinich was chasing after Nekoma, and gaining speed. Nekoma was concentrating in front of them that they didn’t notice the tree root beneath them and tripped right over it. They face planted into the ground, Kinich slowing down to straddle their waist. When they tried to stand up, it was already far too late. Kinich’s fingers dug into their hips, expertly, as if he’d done this a million times before. Nekoma squealed before letting out bouts of high pitched laughter. It was unlike their usual low and monotone voice. Kinich would compare their laughter to the word ‘cute’.

He got bored of not being able to see their face and stopped. Thinking it was over, Nekoma took in greedy gulps of air. But then they were suddenly flipped over onto their back. Their face was covered in dirt and some stray pieces of grass while their hair in the front was messed up, some strand sticking up here and there. Kinich took hold of Nekoma’s hands, pinning them above their head with one hand. Their wrists were quite small, so it was pretty easy for them to be held in place by one hand.

Kinich held one hand up in a claw shape, sporting a small smile. Nekoma closed their eyes, waiting for him to strike…but they weren’t expecting the next move he made. Kinich slowly traced around their stomach, causing them to giggle a little. Nekoma said they hated when he did this, but they didn’t hate it as much as they let on. Nekoma finally got a word out, “Kinihihihich, yohohou meheheheanihihie!” Kinich smirked, mischieviously, “Oh really? I can show you mean if you’d like me to~” His hand turned into a claw shape a skittered over their lower stomach.

They shrieked, this being one of their worst spots, and their giggles became loud laughter. They were usually quiet, so seeing them like this was certainly a treat. “KINIHIHICH NOHOHOHO! THAT’S WOHOHORSE! SOHOHO MUHUHUCH WOHOHORSE!” Kinich slowed his hands back to tracing, still staying at their lower stomach, “See? I think I’m being quite nice, considering you practicaly begged me to join your party.” Nekoma’s giggles slowed down, but were still as high pitched as before, “Ahahare yohou dohohone yehehet?”

Kinich grinned, softly, “Oh please, you haven’t asked me to stop once. You’re enjoying this more than you let on~” Nekoma’s pale face flushed bright red, and they tried to hide their face in their shoulder. “Ah ah, don’t be hiding your face now, or the deal is off~” Nekoma begrudgingly turned their face back to where it was before. “See? This isn’t so bad now is it?~” Nekoma giggled out, “Stihihill kihihinda mehehean.” And if their shrieks of laughter were any indication, they were clearly getting a tickly punishment for that comment.

TickleTober2024/Day 30 - Magic

Genshin Impact - Kinich x Lyney

Kinich looked at the rose in Lyney’s hand, blinking a couple times as if to process what just happened. Where did that flower even come from? How did Lyney do that? Those and another thousand questions passed through his head at that moment, but there was only one thing he could think of saying.

“Are… you the devil?”

“Wh- no!” Lyney giggled, shaking his head before placing the rose back in his hat. Of all the compliments and comments people made about his tricks in Fontaine, he certainly never heard this one. How amusing. “As I said, I’m a magician.”

“So, magicians are devils?” Kinich asked, cocking his head to the side and earning another giggle from the other guy.

This scenario never crossed Lyney’s mind until he visited Natlan. How to explain his “magic” to someone who never saw magic? Should he feed whatever fantasies his new friend had in mind or tell him the truth about his tricks?

Lyney sighed, leaning over the balcony and resting his head on the back of his hand. “Would you like to see another magic trick?”

Kinich thought for a moment and, after a couple seconds, looked back up to Lyney. “Ok,” he nodded.

“Alright, pay attention or you’ll miss it!” Lyney announced, speaking as if he was in some sort of actual stage. When he was sure Kinich’s eyes were glued to him, he began his little performance.

First, Lyney flashed Kinich with his brightest, most charming smile. Then, Lyney covered his lips with both his hands and, when he moved them away, a plain, emotionless facade remained where the smile was.

Lyney clenched his hand into a fist, tapping his knuckles with his index finger. “It’s here,” he whispered, enticing Kinich’s curiosity.

“Now, with a bit of magic and with the help of my cute assistant,” he said, reaching out for Kinich’s wrist, “let’s see what I can do.”

Lyney pressed his fist into Kinich’s palm, gently opening his fingers as if to give something to him. Then, he climbed Kinich’s arm with his fingers, caressing his wrist, forearm and then his elbow. “Oh, silly me. I dropped it.”

“Dropped what?” Kinich muttered, as confused as he could be while looking at his hand in Lyney’s grip.

“My smile,” Lyney nodded, as if it was something obvious, “it’s hiding here!”

“W-whahaht?!” Kinich gasped, letting out a surprised giggle when Lyney’s hand that was resting over his elbow “jumped” and latched onto his side, squeezing and tickling it. “Stohohop it, it tihihickles!”

“Oh? But I’m not tickling you, I’m trying to get my smile back,” Lyney teased, pulling Kinich’s hand to further expose his ribs and underarm to the series of ticklish pokes and prods that followed through.

Just when Kinich felt his cheeks warming up, the tickling was gone - like in a magic trick. “Aha,” Lyney cheered, holding Kinich by his chin, “so here is where my smile went, hm?”

Even after Lyney let him go, it took Kinich a moment to sit back. He touched his own cheek, smiling slightly as tingles still lingered over his body. “...you’re the devil, indeed.”

A/N: I was going to try my hand writing my first fic for AFK Journey, but I ended up doing some last minute changes in the course of action

Anyway, still not really sure how to write for Natlan characters, so be patient with me

Also, huge kudos for @mxncher_17, on Instagram, for making this comic that heavily inspired me

[aticklishpercivalwriter]

A Little lee!Kinich :)

Here's the 2nd and final part of the thing I said as compensation, hope you enjoy!

---

"I'll see you around...love~"

Kinich stands there as Aether leaves.

I have a...boyfriend. I have a boyfriend. Omg, I have a boyfriend!

It takes all his willpower to not scream at the top of his lungs in pure joy.

"Someone sure looks happy."

"Ajaw, don't. Please."

Ajaw starts to say something, stopping once he caught sight of Kinich's expression. Something soft shines through that he hasn't seen in forever. The words die on his throat and Ajaw refuses to acknowledge what he’s feeling right now. Happiness? Endearment? For Kinich? The one he wants dead? What is this feeling? He’s confused and instead lets out a huff before retreating to his place.

Kinich stands there, touching the cheek that Aether kissed. Ghosting over his ear that Aether whispered into.

I love you, Kinich.

He couldn't hold it in anymore.

“Holy shit! Holy shiiittt! I love Aether, he loves me back. We kissed. It’s official. We’re boyfriends. Oh my god, oh my god, oh my godddd! The way he says my name…AAAAHHHH! I’m so deeply in love with him. He’s going to be the death of me. What do I do? What do I doooo!?”

“What’s all that noise?”

Mualani and Kachina come in to see Kinich on the ground with his face in his hands. Thinking he’s in pain, they rush towards him and check on him.

“Kinich! Are you hurt? What happened?”

He yelps and backs away from them, trying to school his expression into a neutral one.

“I’m fine!” he says a little too quickly and avoiding eye contact.

Mualani and Kachina look at each other then back at him skeptically. They both know Kinich and from the way he is acting, they know something is up. They wait for him to say something else, watching him as he fiddled with his clothing. Something that means he is shy. Their suspicions were confirmed when he finally looked at them, his blushing face giving him away that he is hiding something.

“Kinich, what were you doing?” Kachina singsonged.

Kinich’s eyes widened, knowing where this is going.

“Nothing,” is all he said, mentally facepalming himself.

“Well, it looks like you were doing something **and are hiding it from us. So, spit it out or you know what happens next,” Mualani eyed him with a twinkle in her eyes.

Kinich gulped. He can barely handle one of them. Two of them? Not a chance.

“I’m not hiding anything!” he squeaked. He couldn’t think straight. He is still reeling from having his feelings reciprocated and now his best friends are ready to pounce and tickle him to pieces. Can you blame him for being so flustered?

“Stahahahay awahahay!”

Kachina and Mualani smirked at him. Welp, he’s a goner.

“I’m nohoht tehelling anythihing!” he said, bolting for the exit.

“Ohh, so you were hiding something~”

Kachina blocked his path and Mualani tackled him from behind delving into his armpits.

“AHAHAHA! Nohohoho!”

He clamped his arms down, trapping Mualani’s hands and turned on to his back. That was a mistake as Kachina pulled his arms over his head and trapped them.

“WAHAIT! NOHOHOHO! KACHIHIHINAHAHA! LEHEHET MEHEHE GOHOHO!”

He laughed, desperately tugging at his arms and eyes widening when he felt her fingers start to crawl down from his underarms to his pits.

“Nope!” she grinned. “Not until you tell us what you are hiding from us!”

“YOU BOHOTH WIHILL PAHAHAY THEHE PRIHIHI- MUALAHAHANIHI! NOHOHOT THEHE SIHIHIDES! AHAHAHA!”

“Big talk coming from you Kinich. Just tell us what you were doing, and we’ll let you go. Simple!”

“IHIHI CAHAHAN’T!”

“Well, guess we got to keep going. Right, Kachina?”

“Yup!”

Day: 8 - Magic

A/N: I can't remember which video it was, but I was inspired by Lyney and Kinich little fan video... it was so cute I had to give my boy Kinich some lee moments and who is better than ler!Lyney himself hehe. I'm not committed as most fic writers, but I will try to write as much as I can. Plus my birthday is coming this month hehehe ~ Enjoyyy

Warning: spoilers for both Natlan and Fontaine, tickles, fluff, platonic, my stupid silly grammar mistakes (English is my second language)

Summary: Lumine takes her Natlan friends to Fontaine. Mualani, Kachina, and Lumine are interested in macaroons, but Kinich, after meeting a real magician who is rare in Natlan, is a little curious. Little did he know that his curiosity had a price to pay.

Ler!Lyney / Lee!Kinich

Ft. Mualani/Kachina/ a fontanian character (Surprise) /Lumine (I always use Aether, so I chose Lumine for a change)

..........................................................................................

Fontaine shows are often spectacular. Lumine has finally managed to invite Mualani, Kachina, and Kinich to the nation of water. Everything is the same with so much liveliness as ever.

These Natlan kids barely seen the world, so Lumine persuaded (specifically Kinich) to travel here for a brief time.

"So" Ajaw spat with contempt "This place didn't drown? Well what a lame boring ending"

Lumine rolled her eyes, and Kinich's stare made Ajaw huff as he stepped down his narcissistic side.

Mualani and Kachina gasped in wonder. "Whooaa!!!" It was Kachina. "I-I can't believe I had the honour of seeing such an amazing nation! Thank u!"

Mualani also added "Yup, and macaroons are their specialty right? I always wanted to try some!"

Lumine offered, "We can have some now if you like..."

But before she could finish, they were already bouncing in joy as if looking for a luxurious treasure chest.

"Ah~ my dear Lumine its been a while"

A familiar and unforgettable voice. The magician Lyney was there suddenly and behind Kinich who -for the first time -looked startled and surprised as he jerked front.

"Lyney! Hey... I came here with some new friends" Lumine waved with a grin, Lyney bowed politely now taking his hat off.

"Oh, how lovely... That's just like you Lumine,"

Ajaw grumbled, "Who's the funky welp with tights?"

"Rude..." Kinich murmured, now nudging Ajaw aside before giving an apologetic nod. "I apologize he's just antagonistic as always... dont mind him"

Lyney was not offended but clearly amused at the ancient Saurian relic, "I never met a pet so different like your friend," he stated as he observed Ajaw in wonder.

"Haaaa?" Ajaw snapped "You dare call the almighty dragon lord a pet of this worthless servant?? Unacceptable!"

Lumine groans "Seriously wouldn't he shut up"

Mualani impatiently looked at Lumine and then signalled to Lyney. Lumine sighed, "Sorry, uh guys, this is Lyney. He's a magician of fontaine, and Lyney this is Mualani, Kachina and Kinich from natlan... oh ig Kinich's uh partner Ajaw"

"Insect! Dare you name me later after my servant!"

Lyney widened his eyes clearly enjoying everything despite Ajaw's rudeness "Why its rare to have any visitors from Natlan... quite the shocker... well carry on carry on... I wont stop your way"

Kinich however looked like he wanted to say something as he glanced at Lumine but then folded his arms slightly.

Mualani noticing this chuckled "Oh uh Lumine's friend, Lyney, Kinich here likes to say something to you"

Kinich lifted his head, blank eyes but irritated at how she always figured him out, "Mualani..."

Grabbing Kachina, Lumine grinned in agreement "Well Lyney if your not busy why don't you entertain our shy friend Kinich while we grab some macaroons and come?"

"Oh, I'm very free, I have no problem in entertaining a guest"

Mualani gives him a thumbs up. "K later, dude! Haha, " with that, she sprinted along with Kachina and Lumine.

"W-wait-!" Kinich cuts himself off, clearly at a loss, he looks at Lyney awkwardly, clearing his throat "Ahem, I apologize...uh its just that the concept of magic... I never understood it."

Lyney hums curiously, leaning closer now they were by the corner outside the opera epiceles.

"Why, that's simple enough... here let me show you my favourite trick"

Ajaw snickered "If you can make him disappear I'll reward you generously."

Kinich shrugs nonchalantly. "Funny how we both want the other to disappear"

Lyney enjoying their dynamic so much shakes his head, "Honestly you two should perform for Fontaines comedy shows... you guys are so funny"

Kinich sighs but Lyney suddenly adds showing a coin "I got this coin in my palm... look at this..." he moves it side to side and up and down showinf its real. He stuffs it into his own palm and then shows it to the saurian hunter.

"So...? Which hand has the coin?"

Ajaw grins "ha! I call dibs on the right hand... and Kinich if you fail... you owe me"

Kinich feeling competitive calmly states "Oh yh? Well you will owe me if I win, I say its left hand"

Lyney hums cunninyly now turning his palms up showing the left hand first, which is empty. Ajaw cackles "Muhahaha I won!"

Lyney cuts in "Hold it little guy... its actually..." shows his right hand which is empty as well.

Ajaws jaw drop, for the first time Kinich wanted to let a laugh, it was an amused huff making Lyney want to hear it more.

Lyney then leans to reach for his ear "It's actually... right here"

However, neither of them expected Kinich to jolt violently when Lyney's gloved hand accidentally caressed his ear.

"I uh..."

Lyney blinked but then manages to keep a decent smile "Oh what's this? Is my guest ticklish?"

"Correction, I was surprised I didn't expect you to touch me... I'm not good with strangers..."

Ajaw snickered. "Ya ya... but Mualani knows your super ticklish here." he pokes the small of Kinich's back, making Kinich jump. But then he instantly puts Ajaw in a time out who yelled in protest before being cast off.

Lyney chuckles, now poking his left side "Why so defensive if you said you weren't ticklish?"

Kinich was silent, but Lyney persistently began to poke him, "D-don't... hey..." A giggle almost slipping but Lyney chuckles."You know I was trying to find the coin that was in your ear, but it looks like the coin has gone missing... but where?"

Oh boy, Kinich didn't like where this was going. He wished Mualani and the others might come soon and stop Lyney. Yet at the same time he kind of wish it wasn't interrupted.

"How about here? Is my coin there?"

"Gaha!" Kinich let's a startled laugh when Lyney pinches his left ribs. He backs to the wall, unable to escape from the clever magician.

"Still no" feigning disappointment Lyney giggles. "Well more spots to go? How about your armpits? It's a good sneaky place to hide something"

"H-heheh hey no... not therehehe" Kinich knew badly enough this is Lumine's favourite spot to get him, especially when his guard Is down with her. For some reason, his guard was down with this guy he just met as well.

But he is Lumine friend so... it makes sense.

"A-Alrihihihihght alright haha just hehehe juhuhust stohohop yohohou win!"

"Ah, you finally asked me to stop?" Kinich scrunched his shoulder up when Lyney playfully tickled the crook of his neck, "It was adorable how you didn't even say "stop" not once"

"I-I did! I juhuhust couldn't speak.." Lyney helped Kinich up now, giving a wink."You remind me of a certain friend in Sumeru... he got a long hat and a very serious look. But he's got a soft heart like you but your actually sweeter"

Kinich blushed, another Lumine i to deal with. But he couldn't complain. He sighed "Alright I suppose the price I pay for watching your magic trick was this... I can accept it."

"Oh but my show isn't over sir, where do you think is the coin?" Lyney wags a finger animatedly. Kinich thought for a while but suddenly giggles when Lyney gave a brief tickle to his tummy and showing a coin in his hand at last "There it is"

"W-whaha? How...?"

"It's all illusions my dear, but I guess Natlan is a nation I should visit too to show magic tricks..." he said it partly to himself. Then Kinich looks up, slightly awkwardly but a little earnestly.

"If you do come to perform in Natlan... uh can you come to my home first?"

Lyney stares in awe, and he noticed how the ice is melting, its cute how Kinich suddenly became a softie for magic, so interested like a child.

"Why I would definitely come to your home first... tell me more about Natlan though..." he rests his hands on his elbows as he watches Kinich expectantly.

"I'm sure Lumine knows how to say her experiences better than me,"

"She does yes but... why don't you tell me your story? As friends?"

"Friends... with me?" Kinich rests a hand to his own chest, "That's a huge price your offering, how can I ever repay you generously?"

Lyney laughs, "You're more into business than the Iudex of fontaine... how about reciprocating your friendship with me? That means we're even"

"Is that... fine?" Kinich blinks, surprised how simple that sounds but suddenly obvious.

"Of course..."

Kinich nods slightly happily, now beginning his story in Scion of the canopy. Meanwhile, Lumine and the other girls have managed to be held up by Navia.

"Come now, partner," she casually says, sipping tea after making the best macaroons for Mualani and Kachina, "Your friend will be all fine, I mean Lyney is a natural with new guests even with introverts"

Lumine sighs but smiling, "Yeah I know,"

Navia grins now, waving her sunglasses proudly, "Take it from me... Hat Guy once met Lyney, and they had a splendid time together."

"Wait... Yuki? Are you... s-serious?" Lumine was shocked how the wanderer managed to let Lyney entertain him. She is curious about what happened but she just couldn't care less.

It's a nice relaxing day in Fontaine at last.

Smile for me

(Ler!Gaming/Lee!Kinich)

Summary: Gaming tags along with Aether on his trip back to Natlan to meet one of his newest friends, Kinich. Though Gaming thinks the raven despises him and asks Aether advice on how to make him smile.

Gaming hums behind Aether and Paimon as they stroll around the grassy terrain of Natlan. Aether was visiting a friend of his and happened to run into Gaming who had nothing better to do but tag along.

“Tell me about your new friend, Aether!” The brunette exclaims.

“He’s scary.” Paimon answers and Aether laughs shaking his head.

“He’s not scary, Paimon.” The blonde shrugs off the girl. “He’s just quiet.”

“That’s okay. Chongyun and Xiao are pretty quiet too, if he’s like them I can handle it.” Gaming says thinking of his friends back in Liyue.

“And he has that awful disease of a companion with him too!” Paimon frowns. “What’s his name? Axel or something?”

“His name is Ajaw.” Aether corrects. “He may be a pain but he’s a part of Kinich so we gotta be nice to him too.”

“He better not cause any problems.” Paimon huffed.

“Wow this new friend sounds like fun! I can’t wait to meet him.” Gaming’s eyes lit up at the thought of meeting someone new.

The bi color haired boy is known for his extroverted tendencies befriending anyone he crosses paths with.

“There he is!” Aether spots Kinich standing near his tribe camp.

Ajaw is flying next to the raven scolding him about something.

Gaming is star struck by the raven’s emerald lizard like eyes and tan skin that glistens in the sunlight. He had to be his friend!

“Hey Kinich! I hope it’s okay that we brought a friend along with us.” Aether bows his head to the raven.

“It’s fine.” Is all Kinich says giving Gaming a look before turning his attention back to the fire.

“My name is Gaming and I’m from Liyue. It’s so nice to meet you!” Gaming holds out his hand towards the raven who just looks at it.

“Yeah nice to meet you.” The raven doesn’t return the handshake continuing to roast the fish over the fire.

“Remember I don’t like mine too crispy!” Ajaw orders to the raven.

“You will get yours how I cook it.” Kinich shoos him away.

“Whats that thing? He’s kinda cute.” Gaming widens his eyes at Ajaw.

“My nightmare, my headaches and my back pain.” Kinich answers glaring at the pixel creature.

“Hey! I’m not cute! Get that through your thick skull!” Ajaw snaps at the bi color haired boy.

“But you’re so small.” Gaming continues to tease the creature.

Aether and Paimon get started on the picnic laying out the quilt along as passing around plates and utensils.

During dinner Gaming tries to make conversation with Kinich but the raven would only give him one word answers. Though whenever Aether would tell a story at the picnic, he had Kinich’s undivided attention. Did the raven not like him somehow? It couldn’t be! Gaming was the most likable person on this earth. From what he recalled, he’s never had any enemies.

Gaming also decides to compliment the raven’s looks such as his headband and his boots. The raven only says a brief thanks not even bothering to look him in the face. Hmm, he’s never had anyone treat him like this before.

“Hey, does your friend not like me?” Gaming couldn’t help but ask Aether on their way back to their hotel room after parting ways with Kinich and Ajaw.

“What do you mean?” Aether raises an eyebrow tilting his head to the side.

“Well, he barely talked to me as if I didn’t exist plus he never makes eye contact with me. Did I do something wrong?” A pout forms on Gaming’s face.

A laugh escapes from Aether’s lips. “Kinich is just very introverted, don’t take it personally. If you think he has a problem with you, you can talk to him in the morning before we leave.”

“Oh I see.” Gaming hums tapping his chin. “I just never seen him smile so I don’t know if he’s happy most of the time.”

“He definitely smiles. It may not be big but it’s there.” Aether remarked. “If you want to see him smile, he’s quite ticklish.”

“Really?” A smug smile forms on Gaming’s face.

“Yep! Aether pinned him down one time in a tickle fight, it was fun to watch!” Paimon expresses.

“Oh shoot!” Gaming checks his pockets realizing he left his watch at Kinich’s camp. “I think I left my watch. I’ll have to go back and get it.”

“Do you want us to accompany you?” Aether questions and Gaming shakes his head.

“I remember where the camp is! Plus I’ll take your advice on making Kinich smile.” Gaming sends him a wave before storming out of the hotel room.

Gaming spots the familiar camp with Kinich’s tribe members a few feet away. The bi color haired boy asks the members if they seen a particular wrist watch and they shake their heads.

“What’re you doing back here?” He hears Kinich’s voice behind him and Gaming literally jumps three feet in the air.

“Oh uh I lost my watch and I was asking around if anyone’s seen it.” He anxiously rubs the back of his neck.

“You left it in the picnic basket.” Kinich hands the bi color haired boy’s watch which is unusually warm.

“Thanks so much!”

“Yeah, you should leave now.” Kinich gestures towards the pathway leading to the city.

“Is there a problem between us?” Gaming blurts out.

“Excuse me?” Kinich raises an eyebrow.

“Well you’re always so short with me as if you don’t want to be friends. Do you hate me or something?”

The raven pinches the bridge of his nose. “I don’t hate you. I barely even know you. So for you to make assumptions like that is unfair, don’t you think?”

“Hmm you’re right. You’re just so quiet around me but with Aether you talk to him a lot.”

“Because I know him.” Kinich states.

“And you never smile either.” Gaming squints his eyes at him.

“Sometimes there’s no need to smile.” The Raven nonchalantly shrugs his shoulders.

“ Aether told me something interesting about you. I hope it’s okay that I try it out to make sure he wasn’t lying.” Without another word, Gaming tackles Kinich to the ground catching the raven off guard.

“Hey! What’re you doing?” Kinich raises his voice at the bi color haired boy who has the raven’s arms pinned above his head.

“Making you smile.” Gaming smirks digging his fingers into the other’s armpits.

A soft chuckle is heard from the raven who bites his lips. Jackpot.

“So you are indeed ticklish.” The bi color haired boy ponders poking and prodding at the raven’s upper ribs.

“You proved your point, can you stop now?” Kinich tries to push him away with a tiny smile on his face.

“Get his sides.” Ajaw whispers into Gaming’s ears.

Kinich almost gasps at the betrayal and Gaming is on top of the raven straddling him as he squeezes at his sides.

The raven bursts out into bubbly laughter attempting to push Gaming’s hands away. The bi color haired boy’s heart stirs a beat getting a good look at Kinich’s smile. The smile could literally kill someone by how wholesome and sweet it is.

“What about here?” Gaming teases the other slightly lifting up his shirt to scratch at his tummy.

“Hah, no.” A small squeak erupts from the raven as he flinches from the other’s touch.

“Sounds pretty ticklish to me.” The bi color haired boy snickers continuing to assault his abdomen even wiggling a finger inside his navel earning a squeal from the raven.

Kinich is writhing underneath Gaming, his hair splayed out in all directions, and his eyes closed shut. This is getting dangerous.

Gaming also playfully experiments with the other’s hips as he squeezes the fleshy skin. Kinich literally spasms trying to curl himself into a ball. When that didn’t work, Kinich attempts to tickle Gaming himself poking at his sides.

Though the bi color haired boy’s will to make him smile was stronger as he blows a raspberry against his side. Kinich cutely giggles and squirms at the sensation clutching his abdomen.

“Wow you really can smile.” Gaming decides that the raven has had enough releasing him from his grasp.

“You say that as if I’m not a human.” The raven frowns at the other who puts his hands up in surrender.

“Never said you weren’t. Though you should smile more often, it looks good on you.” Gaming winks an eye at the raven.

“I’ll think about it.” A red hue forms on Kinich’s cheeks.

“See you tomorrow!” Gaming cheerfully waves at the raven before jogging towards the city.

Okay next step. Ask Kinich out on a date.

[tea-twords]

Kinich hcs because I love him more than I thought I would (and other natlan characters because they all deserve more love tbh)

- Mualani definitely tickles her friends all the time. They need cheer up tickles? She’s on it. She’s feeling particularly playful? Better watch out.

- This especially goes for Kinich. Even though he calls her and Kachina “acquaintances” he’s considered a friend by both of them (he just doesn’t know how to express that)

- Didn’t realize how ticklish he was until Mualani started targeting him in tickle fights

- Ajaw makes fun of him for being ticklish ALL THE TIME he can not get a break

- Ajaw WILL call out his weak spots while Kinich is getting wrecked (he’s hoping that he’s so ticklish he’ll laugh himself to death, lol)

- If course it never goes that far, much to Ajaw’s dissatisfaction

- Super ticklish back, also underarms, shoulders, and knees

- The end of his character quest got me thinking that he brings up paying the traveler back at some point, even though they insist there’s no need, but he’s persistent about it. Eventually the traveler just decides “alright, you can pay me back by letting me hear you laugh” and just pounces

- He’s the type that’s shy about his laugh, mostly because he has a reputation to keep up. He definitely covers his smile and tries (and fails) to hold in his laughter

- His laugh is probably mostly snickering from trying his best to hold it in, but be persistent enough and he’ll start laughing more freely, with more breathy, hiccup like laughter

- Doesn’t always participate in group tickle fights, but if it’s one on one he’ll usually get some revenge

AHHHH YES THANK YOUNSOMUCU!!!!?!?!

We’re so together on his back being super sensitive like come on

BREATHY LAUGH KINICH‼️‼️‼️

And YES he’s big on revenge tks

I feel like he wouldn’t start tk fights but sometimes he’ll be able to end them. I say sometimes because he could really go either way
