Waaaahhhh this is adorable! They totally would, the dorks lol

Daily Speedwrite Pairings: Day 5

“Wanna try my vr?” -Plance

“Pidge that’s totally wicked!” Hunk squeaked from his position in front of the latter, his eyes sparkling.

“Thanks! I found it for super cheap at the space mall. I was really shocked to find something like this there.” Pidge chimed.

“Same here!” Hunk said beaming, “what are you going to play first?”

“Oh I’ve already took a crack at Beat Saber.” The girl replied, spinning a package of batteries in her hand, “I’ve been addicted to the YouTube videos since I found out about it.”

“Cool! I call second dibs!” The yellow clad boy cooed, flopping down onto the couch that was positioned in front of the tv.

“Wh-second?” She cocked an eyebrow, “Why not first?”

“PIDGE! WHAT IS THAT!? LOOKS COOL! LEMME TRY!” An erratic voice echoed through the room suddenly.

“That’s why.” Hunk chimed, laying down casually on the couch.

“Oh hey Lance!” Pidge beamed, “want to try my new VR?”

Lance nodded with a huge and goofy grin painted on his face. “Set me up!”

Pidge obliged and helped her friend put on the headset, then carefully handed him the controllers.

“Set me up for Beat Saber pretty please?” Lance cooed, standing attentively at the tv. He waved to himself repeatedly, as he could see his “hands” in the screen.

The girl chuckled and set up the game for her friend. “Alright. I’ll put you on to a simple song.”

Lance stood on alert as he started to swipe at colored bricks. Soon he got into the groove of things.

“Oooh! Buddy look! You’re close to beating Pidge’s high score!” Hunk chimed from the couch.

“Wha-?!” Pidge’s eyebrows shot up in shock upon seeing the score, “no way! Not gonna happen!”

“Oh it’s happening!” Lance snarled back playfully, still fixated on the neon bricks he was smashing.

“Sorry bud. But that high score is mine!” Pidge cried out before gently jabbing Lance’s sides

“NGRH- PIDGE N-“ Lance huffed, trying time regain his composure and hyperfocus.

“Pidge yes. Time to say goodbye to your high score.”

Pidge let her nimble fingers worm their way under the boy’s shirt to squeeze around his sides.

“PFF- Pihihihihidgehehehe! nohohohoho!” Lance whined, not bothering to fight.

“Never! I’ll make you miss!” Pidge replied with an evil grin.

“Ihihihihi’ll wihihihihin!” Lance chirped, lazer focusing his eyes to the, now shaking, bricks.

When Pidge moves her hands up under his arms, they immediately shot down, causing Lance to just fall short of her high score

“NOHOHOHO FAHAHAHAHIHIHIHIR!” Lance howled as his most sensitive spot was ruthlessly attacked.

“All is fair in love and Beat Saber.” Pidge cooed as she moved one hand down to squeeze Lance’s stomach pudge.

“NOHOHOHOHO STAHAHAHAHAP! MEHEHEHEHEHERCY!” Lance crumbled to the floor, giggling like crazy.

“Mmmm Nah!” Pidge replied, “I’m gonna make sure you know to never beat my high score.”

“IHIHIHIHI KNOHOHOHOHOW! IHIHIHI KNOOOOOW HAHAH!” Lance writhed under his friend’s evil touches, trying so desperately to escape his ticklish dilemma.

“Hmm. But do you really?” Pidge dipped a finger into Lance’s belly button, “do you actually really?”

“YEHEHEHEHEHES! OHOHOHOHO GAHAHAHAD! YES YES YEHEHEHEHES! STAHAHAHAHPPIHIHIHIT!” Lance was howling with laughter by now, slamming his fists against the ground.

Pidge chuckled and helped her friend to his feet, sneaking a few squeezes to the boy’s side as he steadied himself.

“Evil child. Evil.” Lance spat.

“Aww someone’s mad they didn’t beat my high score.” Pidge teased, letting her lips purse on every word.

“I’m gonna beat it’s just watch it.”

When a few hours passed, Pidge found herself being beckoned to the room where the TV was located.

“When did-“

“Just now.”

“How did-“

“Grovel. That’s right. Grovel. I beat your high score fair and square!”

“grrrr.” Pidge soon pounced again, reducing her friend into a puddle of messy giggles.

[ticklefits]

maybe keith (vld) for the tickling ask meme? :D

character tickling ask meme! | @fandomsnfluff

keith kogane:

on a scale of 1-10, how ticklish are they?

i’d say probably an 8. keith definitely seems like the broody touch-starved type whos actually very sensitive but you wont know until he lets you get close.

where is their most ticklish spot(s)?

neck, lower back, and the just below his ribs. all very specific places that will get you a broken hand if you try to touch there.

which spots are they not ticklish?

sorry folks, keith isn’t all that ticklish on his sides or hips, which are some pretty common places to be sensitive. you might get some giggles if you catch him by surprise and tickle him in those places, but nothing of significance and you bet your ass he’s going to retaliate 

what is their laugh like?

it’s higher in pitch than someone might expect looking at him, but you sort of get it once you hear his voice, cause the man aint all that deep. it’s still cute though, and he gets choked up and wheezes sometimes when he laughs too hard since he hasnt had all that much to laugh about growing up, so its foreign to him ):

do they enjoy tickling? if yes, is it a fun platonic/familial thing, or kinky thing to them, or can it be both depending on the circumstance?

to a degree, yes. it depends on the person, and you’d better be close to him if you’re tickling him, because you can and will get hurt if you arent. if you’re his lover, chances are, it’s gonna be considered both a wholesome, platonic thing and a bedroom thing, dependent on the situation 

are they more often a lee or ler, generally?

i definitely feel like its both, but keith can give off some serious ler energy. remember that scene when allura snapped a spoonful of food goo and got pidge in the face, and not even seconds later, keith growls out a “go loose, pidge!” and flips that shit right back at A PRINCESS? shit gave me chills and yall cant look me in the eyes and tell me that man wouldn’t WRECK YOUR SHIT if he wanted to 

who is someone in their life that they tickle often?

he probably doesn’t initiate tickle fights often because a) he’s very ticklish himself and b) he has a problem with vulnerability. those issues get better though and once keith gets closer to the others, tickle fights deffo become more of a thing and yes, lance is definitely always a consistent target because that boy mouth be runnin marathons. sometimes keith goes after shiro, but mans quickly regrets that one LMAO

who is someone in their life that they get tickled by often?

shiro is a terrifyingly good tickler and adam could attest to that. chris can also attest to that. keith had to deal with some real ticklish nightmares as a kid growing up with shiro, and even after he became an adult and found shiro again, that didn’t stop. lessened a little bit sure, but if shiro needed to make keith feel better or punish him for being the brat he is, he knew what to do

does the word “tickle” or any variation of embarrass them?

if hes the lee in the situation, then yes it does. if hes the ler, then he will absolutely use it against whoever hes tickling and has no problem saying it, hes simply that bitch sometimes

are they embarrassed about their ticklishness, and do they try to deny/hide it?

not so much embarrassed, he just knows that he would be a target for constant tickle attacks if the people around him found out about his ticklish secret. so yes, he does deny it/hide it and will go into fight or flight if you start teasing him about it.

would gentle tickling or rough tickling affect them more?

being a warrior, keith is definitely used to harsher things and with all the training he’s always doing, i wouldn’t be surprised if you needed to dig in there to really get him howling if thats what you want. but i feel like, gentle tickling would not only affect him physically, but also mentally and emotionally, and it would be such a sight seeing him melt like that 

is there a specific spot that they enjoy being tickled, either exclusively or more than other spots? what is it?

if you’re his lover, keith is actually partial to having his lower back tickled. soft, little strokes can be soothing to him and lull him right to sleep. and, on the other side of the coin, full blown tickles on his back just feel good in a different sort of way (:< if you’re just a friend, don’t tickle him -- thats what he prefers LMAO

is there a spot that they can’t stand to be tickled, either because it’s just too sensitive, or it’s uncomfortable/painful/etc? what is it?

his neck is a big no-no unless you are, you guessed it, his lover. it doubles as an erogenous zone and if you tickle him there, as a friend, chances are, hes gonna smack you away and maybe even run

would they ever purposefully bug a friend/partner/sibling into tickling them, and if so, how would they go about it?

nah, he wouldn’t. he’s not big on asking for tickles for himself, even when hes feeling touch-starved; theres nicer, less embarrassing ways to curb that craving for touch, so, the other person would have to decide to tickle him of their own accord

does teasing affect them?

yes, no matter whether hes lee or ler. as a lee, teasing embarrasses him and he acts out because of it, and will definitely become more sensitive because of it. when he’s a ler, good fucking luck to the lee, because his teasing as a ler is so AWFUL. he’s the why are you laughing, im not even doing anything to you type of ler, the oh, not here? how about here type of ler, the mock laughter and pleading type of ler. mans is pure evil when hes a ler and if you’re a cute lee, he gets even WORSE

[later-keith]

the fact that any of you think these boys are fashionable is killing me

Lance "greasy tee and mom jeans" McClain?

Keith "emo cryptid biker with half a jacket" Kogane?

Hunk "I'm doing my best but I look like I'm gonna karate chop the sun" Garret

Takashi "what the fuck is he even wearing? what is that? space spandex? spacendex? shiro what are you wearing?" Shirogane?

[fandomsnfluff]

.....vld headcanons because why not

i just can’t help myself no judgies (i wrote minis on my other blog but ofc i wanted to expand on them over here lmaooooo)

shiro

he’s kind of AVERAGELY ticklish??? if you know what i mean by that??? like he’ll probably just try to squirm away if you poke at his sides and maaaaybe giggle a bit if you’re persistent?? like it’s not too bad for him??

however. HOWEVER. there are two (2) spots that he just. can’t handle having touched. and those are his underarms (underarm?) and feet. like seriously you are putting YOURSELF at risk if you go for these spots tbh. like again he can normally tough it out but he loses all touch with reality if you get either of these places

he makes this really hilariously high-pitched shriek, like he barely even laughs skjdhfsdfk. but when he does he sounds like he’s choking

he and adam had a TON of tickle fights back when they lived together at the garrison. like literally ANYTHING will turn into tickle battles because of shiro’s sneaky ass

like i said before he’d grab his boyfriend in a hug and just hold him and tickle him out of nowhere. adam is much more insanely ticklish than shiro so he’s likely to lose maaaaybe 9/10

lance

HE IS THE MOST TEASY AND TOUCHY PERSON YOU WILL EVER MEET IN YOUR LIFE I SHIT YOU NOT. he is much more of a ler but when he’s a lee?? he’s kind of dead tbh

like this kid loses ALL control when he gets tickled. seriously he just spazzes out all over the place and lets out this inhuman shriek. it doesn’t even matter where you tickle him he just can’t help it

he’s like a giant walking tickle spot tbh??? but his neck, sides, and feet are pretty sensitive tbh. again i don’t think his reactions are all that different if you target other places he’ll still sound like a dying cow KJSDHFKJSHDF

HE LITERALLY TICKLES KEITH ALL THE FUCKING TIME SKJDHFDSJKF. HE GIVES ZERO FUCKS ABOUT IF HE GETS PUNCHED IN THE FACE HE JUST WANTS TO SEE GRUMPY BOY LAUGHING 😭 

listen he and his siblings have tickle fights all the time and as the youngest HE IS CONSTANTLY THE TARGET PLS HELP HIM. but he doesn’t really express that he minds all that much??? he’s always just like “that was fucking torture” or something but waits to get the perpetrator back??? he is a very interesting individual

keith

okay i’ve been standing by this since day one but imo keefy is THE most ticklish paladin. by fucking far lmao

he??? genuinely has NO idea why???? he’s so fucking sensitive and he thinks it’s the weirdest thing ever??? but he’ll deny it to his grave even though absolutely NOBODY is taking his shit

he’s grumpy as hell if ANYBODY tries it. he might just punch them in the face. but if they actually DO manage to get him then he’s just. he’s done. he CANNOT handle it for SHIT.

like literally the INSTANT someone latches onto his sides he just lets out this inhuman SHRIEK and attempts to muffle it with whatever he can but TO NO AVAIL

he cannot hold his laughter back for shit. he just breaks into this really uncontrolled HOWLING laughter like he’s being tortured, it’s alarming but cute

everybody was completely shocked but actually kind of ecstatic as well from this??? the instant the bridge found out about his weakness they kind of all became monsters lmao

he’s ticklish as hell ABSOLUTELY everywhere, sides, underarms, neck, feet, you name it. but his feet are his absolute weakest point, he’ll just scream if you go for them. but he wears shoes everywhere, all the time, even when he’s sleeping, so it’s actually pretty difficult to get to them kjsdhfsd

hunk

HE IS. SO SOFT. listen hunk absolutely loves using tickling as a bonding tactic especially with keith. HE LEGITIMATELY HAS NO FEAR.

but like. also listen to this. he’s also kinda?? extremely weak?? probably weaker to lighter touches but don’t get me wrong heavy tickles make him laugh too

his sides and ribs would probably be really ticklish, he makes a lot of funny snorting noises when you get him here and he probably wheezes and coughs a lot too

he probably says “i can’t breathe!” like right away even though he can, he just doesn’t want to be tickled

he’s probably the most MERCILESS lers of the whole team tbh. he’s not a very fast runner if the person he’s targeting tries to run away but if he does manage to latch on to them?? THEY’D BETTER PREPARE THEMSELVES FOR THE TICKLING OF THE CENTURY. THIS MAN IS ABSOLUTELY MERCILESS LIKE HE’S MADE THE OTHER PALADINS SCREAM AT LEAST ONCE

pidge

i feel like?? her reactions definitely depend on her mood at a given time and day?? like if you’re sitting next to her and you poke her it just won’t work but surprising her will when she’s hyperfocused or in a good mood will

she’s not really a big fan of being tickled tbh. i mean if you get her in the right mood she’ll probably scream and attempt to punch or kick you (cuz she’s a kicker, watch out) and start shouting curses through her laughter

i mean that’s basically her reaction to tickling tbh, she kind of gets completely out of control from all of it and will lose all sense of reality tbh.

i think her torso just as a whole would be really sensitive?? like all the way from the underarms to the hips and also her stomach??

she roughhouses a lot with matt who knows exactly how to tickle his sister, and she’s probably hypersensitive to his touch so she just crumbles instantly when he gets her. but she definitely gets him back, and i do think matt is actually more ticklish than pidge in a very general sense

but yeah speaking of her getting matt back, she’s fucking RUTHLESS. you do not want to be at her hands. despite her small size she WILL manage to hold you down and she WILL find your weakest spot. you probably won’t win this one sorry

Okay I can’t just list one bc I’m a huge multishipper and have a lot of fandoms oops

I’m mostly sticking to the few series I’ve posted about on here before for this ask game just so ppl like, know what I’m talking about. But I watch a shit-ton of cartoons and other shows so if anybody wants specific fandoms (not even for omo, if y'all are just curious?) then feel free to ask. Or just feel free to ask me about these ships bc I LOVE analysing characters and their dynamics! Anyways here are the first ones off the top of my head:

Ship that you secretly like (tbh I’m rarely secretive about ships, if someone asks I don’t mind saying unless I know I’m gonna catch hell for it on certain sites. But I don’t talk about these much so they count I guess) : Hunk/Allura (vl/d, so cute), Allura/Lance (vl/d), Star/Jackie (svt/foe), Grell/Undertaker (Black But/ler, it was my embarrassing 9th grade otp ship so I’m nostalgic and you can pry it from my cold dead hands), Akira/Haru/Akechi (p/5), Haru/Akechi (p/5, it can’t be happy fluff tho it’s gotta be dark and twisted with Haru calling the shots)

Ship you’re curious about: Makoto/Ryuji (p/5), Alex/Kara (sup/ergirl, I know I’m gonna get flamed for this one but fuck it, if Barry and Iris can get married these two are just as acceptable. It’s not my fav ship by a longshot but I actually could make a huge post about why I find it intriguing in certain scenarios, but I’ll save it unless asked bc it’d get hella long), Tae/Iwai (p/5, I read 1 fic of it once and now I’m fascinated by the possibility)

Ship that needs more love: Ryuji/Haru (p/5, I could write an ESSAY about these two and I hate that no one even considers it?!? He literally called her attractive /twice/ before they met and wanted to talk to her but then the game never referenced that again after she joined and it bugs me so much hhhh), Hunk/Pidge (vl/d, shipped it from the 1st ep), Sae/Tae(p/5), Snaibsel (Zat/anna / Arte/mis from YJ), Makoto/Hifumi (p/5)

[bubblegum-switch]

Louder, My ‘Lee

Enjoy some definitely pre-established!Klance and I-don’t-even-know-when!Shallura.

Title: Louder, My ‘Lee

Themes: ‘Ler/Implied-ticklish!Keith, ‘Lee/ticklish!Lance, ‘Ler/Implied-ticklish!Shiro, ‘Lee/ticklish!Allura, Keith being mean and teasy, seriously there’s lots of verbal teasing, Shallura being fluffy, Shiro and Allura being dorks, Lance being most of the ‘lees in the community, Hunk and Pidge also being bros, Lance being adorable and kind-of insecure about liking The Thing™, the author shamelessly projecting their life onto characters for the sake of writing and being put into Such A Mood because of it, and a contest that would Kill The Author Personally, fuck this is so improbable regardless of anything don’t look at me, but hey thanks for 50 followers i can’t believe how thirsty we all are for klance content, also i’m like 99% sure there won’t be a part 2 because of how similar it would be to this one

Rating: Pretty tame but… Keith is a teasy bastard… it’s all SFW tho seriously

Word Count: app. 2.5k

(A/N: Yes, that is how they catch shrimp, yes that is what they call it, and yes I had to sit through a documentary that it was part of while my father was right next to me so… fun times. But I guess it paid off lmao)

The six – sans Coran who currently had the slipperies – were eating dinner. Naturally, Hunk made the food at this point and their days of Food Goo were long in the past. They’d pushed the chairs closer together so the three chairs on each side were nearly touching, since now it felt weird having so much space between them.

Keith sat in-between Pidge and Lance on one side while Shiro sat in-between Hunk and Allura on the other. They all ate their food happily with little bits of conversation popping up here and there, but mostly the hall was quiet as they were enjoying their dinner.

“Mmm, this is fantastic, Hunk, one of your best dishes yet!” Lance mused as he took another large bite.

Hunk smiled proudly. “I figured you’d like it, Lance. It was the closest to seafood as I could find.”

“If we were back on Earth, I’d never know it wasn’t shrimp! It tastes like home, man,” he praised, taking another chomp.

“It really is excellent, Hunk,” Allura chimed in. “But what’s shrimp?” she asked none of them in particular.

Shiro chuckled fondly. “They’re these little animals that live in the ocean. People catch them with these special nets and then you can cook them in a lot of different ways. I could be wrong but I think they’re one of the most popular kinds of seafood back on Earth.”

Pidge piped up from her bite of food. “Wait, ‘special’ nets? I didn’t know they were any different.”

Lance felt his face grow just a shade pinker, and he heard Keith snicker under his breath next to him, but whether Keith noticed the blush, or merely knew what Lance was thinking was unknown to him. Both were possible. Living on an island with lots of seafood had very few disadvantages, but this was one: Lance knew a lot about catching seafood. The blue paladin was mentally begging for no one to explain it to Pidge.

Of course, Shiro decided to. “Well, I don’t quite remember all the details, but the nets have fronds or extra strings or something on them to, heh, ‘agitate’ the shrimp to pick them up in the net.” He smirked. “They call it ‘The Shrimp Tickler,’ because apparently shrimp are ticklish.”

Pidge, Keith, and Hunk all laughed. Lance forced a few uncomfortable and nervous chuckles from his reddened face, and Allura just looked like she was thinking.

“What’s up Allura?” Pidge asked, smiling.

“I don’t think that ‘shrimp’ – at least the ones I’m familiar with – would have an advanced enough nervous system to feel such a thing.” She looked at the oldest paladin. “Shiro, you aren’t playing another trick on me, are you?”

Lance – who was now of course hyper-alert at this point – saw the predatory grin on Shiro’s face, and would’ve hid his own face if he wanted to call attention to himself.

Shiro turned towards the alien princess. “How could you accuse me of such a thing?” He said with mock-hurt. “I mean if we have to test my statement—”

He reached out and squeezed her side, and she squeaked. “Shiro! I’m not—” but she quickly dissolved into giggles as he ran his fingers up and down her sides.

“See Allura? Shrimps are ticklish!” he smiled, laughing along with her.

“I cahan behe tahahaller than yohohu!”

“Aw yeah, get her Shiro!” Hunk shouted, laughing too.

Lance was trying to ignore it but knew he was staring. He knew it was only a matter of time until someone noticed him…

“Like what you see?” Keith whispered into his ear, and Lance knew that voice very well.

Lance froze and didn’t respond, but a small smile leaked past his lips and betrayed his feelings. He bit his lip to try to hide it but Keith took notice of that, too.

“Hm? Are you jealous of Allura?” Keith said just loud enough to put a teasing tone into his voice, but not nearly loud enough to be heard by the others.

Luckily for Lance, the others were too preoccupied to notice: Shiro was still tickling Allura, and Pidge and Hunk were betting each other on if Allura was going to turn the tables. No one noticed the boy squirming in his chair with a face that almost matched his “tormentor’s” lion.

“Do you wish you were Allura and I was Shiro?” Keith teased in that same voice, and snaked his arm around Lance’s waist and lightly drummed him fingers against the taller boy’s side while pulling him just a little closer. Lance bit his lip harder and tried to not show anything was happening. Keith knew from the silence that Lance was pretty much dying (re: melting) on the inside.

When they were alone Lance wouldn’t even try to stay quiet because he didn’t care if he was laughing during his arguments or not, so he could refute anything and hold his own (more or less). But now? Lance was trying as hard as he could not to do anything so no one would notice.

How funny, Keith thought, amused to no end by it, he loves being the center of attention but now he can’t stand it. He was so proud of that statement he had formed in his mind, that he whispered it into Lance’s ear. He made sure to brush his lips and his breath against the blue paladin’s ever-so-sensitive ears as he did so, just to make him shiver and nearly leak out a giggle.

“Why don’t you laugh for me?” Keith teased softly, then nearly laughed himself as he got another thought. “Maybe Shiro and I should have a contest… who can get their ‘lee to laugh louder?” He saw Lance’s face grow redder than he thought possible, maybe it was the notion of the suggestion itself or the fact that he called Lance his ‘lee. He changed his hand so it was teasing at bare skin under Lance’s shirt, just ever-so-softly tickling above the waistband of his jeans.

Lance may have been yelling “no” in his mind repeatedly after that suggestion, but he loved what was happening. Not necessarily the fact that it was in front of everyone – that was awfully mean of Keith – but… he really loved Keith and he also really loved being tickled so he’d take it. He knew Keith would stop if he could tell Lance wasn’t enjoying himself, so he wasn’t too worried. But also… he wasn’t sure how much Keith was joking about that little “game” that he suggested. He knew that Keith knew it would embarrass him, but if somebody noticed how much “trouble” Lance was having then… oh god he hoped no one would notice. That just might give Keith the opportunity to do so.

Keith’s hand shot to Lance’s stomach as he saw that Shiro’s hand had switched to Allura’s. Allura’s laughter increased in volume as Lance nearly jumped out of his skin, a sharp laugh escaping his lips before he slammed them shut again and was left shaking in his seat. Luckily for him, Allura drowned him out sound-wise. Unluckily for him, Pidge saw the motion out of the corner of her eye and noticed that Keith’s hand mirrored Shiro’s. She met eyes with Keith and smirked. She met eyes with Shiro and raised her eyebrows, seemingly having a nonverbal conversation with both of them. She looked back at Hunk, who smiled a knowing smile.

“So, my little green friend,” Hunk began, much to the blue paladin’s chagrin, “shall we propose a new wager?”

Lance’s stomach dropped. Nooooo…

“And what might that wager be, Hunk?” Pidge asked with mock-innocence, fully well-aware of what was about to happen.

“Well, I bet Shiro can make Allura laugh louder.”

“Pssh no way, Keith can totally make Lance laugh louder,” she laughed mischievously.

Hunk smirked, “hm I don’t know, he’s being pretty quiet right now…”

Keith chimed in with a darker tone, but laughing as well as he still worked Lance’s skin beneath his nimble fingers. “He was just being quiet because he didn’t want anyone to hear him laugh. Give me a second—”

Keith snaked an arm behind him, pulled him closer, and now used both hands now to tickle Lance’s stomach as the blue paladin erupted into a fit of giggles. He tried grabbing at Keith’s hands, but the red paladin noticed that once Lance actually managed to grab a hold of his wrists, he didn’t move them away. If anything, he pulled them closer. Keith tried not to make a sound of endearment at the action, or perhaps lack-of-action, and instead turned it against him.

“You like this, huh? Not even trying to move my hands away?” he teased as Lance’s laughter increased. He looked over to see Shiro whispering in Allura’s ear as well, and the red and black paladins smiled at each other for a moment before returning to their missions.

“You just want me to tickle you,” he whispered matter-of-factly. Lance’s face was beet-red. Keith knew just how much teasing got to him and a part of him almost felt a little bad, but then the sympathy went away when he remembered really how much Lance was loving this, and then Keith’s stomach jumped a little when he thought of how much revenge Lance would be exacting later. But no matter, there were more important things at hand.

“Come on, you can be louder than that,” he whispered again. “I can move to somewhere more… ticklish… if it’ll help.” He drew out the word that he knew Lance would be affected by, before slowly moving the quick fingers up his sides. Lance began to twist and squirm in his seat as his giggles grew into fuller laughs, and Keith heard that he was less-reserved about it now.

“I know how much you love this… being at my mercy, feeling my fingers dance all over you, the electrifying sensations… and I know you love to laugh, Lance.” His hands were coming closer and closer to Lance’s armpits, and all things combined were creating desperate-sounding laughter from the blue paladin’s mouth. Keith knew that even though Lance’s laughter may have made it seem so, he hadn’t even come close to having had enough yet. All their times before had led Keith to know exactly when to stop, and Lance was nowhere near that.

“Come on my ‘lee, laugh for me. You’re so ticklish Lance, I don’t know how you’re holding out…”

Lance’s mind was turning to mush, but he was in heaven. He was maintaining enough composure to avoid curling up into Keith though; he wanted to keep a little shred of dignity. He wanted to keep just how much he liked… that… unknown to the others. He didn’t care that Keith knew, obviously, but Lance himself thought it was weird, even though Keith never made him feel weird about it. But who knows what the others would think?

His heart jumped when he realized Keith called him his ‘lee again… he did like being called that…

At least he knew he could get Keith back for this later.

He was writhing in his seat, and he opened his eyes to try to see Allura, who was in a similar but far worse situation to him. Shiro was using his Galra arm to gently but firmly hold both of her wrists above her head while he used his free arm to tickle her armpits, rapidly switching between them. Her laughter rang sweet and high above Lance’s due to pitch, but they just about matched in volume.

One thing Lance noticed – before Keith increased pressure on Lance’s armpits forcing him to wrench his eyes closed again – was that Shiro had a big, dopey lovey-dovey grin on his face. God, it felt so good to see that man in love.

“Come on Lance, we might win,” Keith whispered. “Thank god you’re so ticklish…”

Keith figured it was time to add another punch, and he pulled Lance onto his lap. Still tickling under his arms, he started nibbling the blue paladin’s neck.

Lance nearly screamed with laughter and covered his face, but Keith persisted. Lance knew Keith wouldn’t push him too far, so by this point he didn’t have anything left to be worried about.

Keith looked over and saw Shiro was slowing his attack. He didn’t ease up on Lance just yet, however, because he wanted to win… but also because of the fact that he knew Lance was absolutely in love with this.

When Allura’s laughter was nearly gone, Keith began letting up. Not because he thought Lance had had enough, he still had a very, very long way to go before that point, but because the blue paladin was probably embarrassed and Keith didn’t want it so all the attention was on him – then he might not actually enjoy it. He stopped nibbling Lance’s neck and started nuzzling it instead, and he slowed his fingers until they stopped. He pulled his hands back, and chuckled at how Lance near-imperceptibly moved back towards his hands in their absence. Keith looked at the others with a big smile on his face. Actually, everyone had a big smile on their face.

“So, who won?”

Hunk and Pidge shared a glance. “Well, it was close for a while,” Hunk began, lacing his fingers together in front of him very seriously.

“But Lance was louder by far,” Pidge finished in an equally theatrical manner.

“Oh, come on,” Shiro laughed, helping Allura sit up straight again and then massaging her shoulders to alleviate any resulting tension.

“It was a good fight, Shiro. We’ll beat them next time,” Allura said playfully, but an edge of seriousness could be heard. Shiro was amazed that she actually wanted to win… and to do it again?

Keith grinned at Lance and slung his arm around the blue paladin’s shoulder. “Oh, so there’ll be a Round 2 eventually?”

Lance’s face reddened again, but he smiled sheepishly. “Oh, shut it, Keith.” His smile brightened suddenly as a light bulb went off in his head. He smirked at Keith, then the princess. “You know Allura, I think next time we should switch it up, and the two of us can see who can make our guys laugh louder. Whaddaya say, Keith? Shiro?”

Lance shoved Keith lightly, and he laughed at how Keith’s eyes widened for a moment before he stopped them. He also saw how Keith twitched his head so his hair fell over a good portion of his face to hide the encroaching blush.

Shiro’s face dusted pink, but Allura chimed in before he could say anything. “That’s a great idea, Lance! Besides, it’s only fair, right Shiro?” She looked up at him.

Shiro stammered out something about… something. It seemed even the notion of turning the tables was enough to render him a blushy, stuttering mess.

Allura giggled at his reaction. “If you’re doing that already, I’m sure we’ll win!”

“Mmm, I don’t know, Princess, I think I’ve got it in the bag. I’ll definitely win,” Lance said casually, stretching his tired muscles and leaning to whisper in Keith’s ear in a manner not unfamiliar:

“I’m sure of it.”

[tactickle]

Do you have any more headcanons about Shiro from Voltron? I just binged the whole series and I'm sliiiiightly in love with him!

aafnjsnf i wanna answer this so bad cause no matter how satisfied or dissatisfied i am with some eps or seasons or whatever… shiro’s always hot and there’s no way around it. he’s so good dude i love making him a lee sooooo bad like we’ve all seen him bound more than once and it’s so good.

and look at his tiny waist to his broad shoulders. ya just wanna squeeze him like a toy. IN MOMENTS LIKE THESE MY THIRSTY LER COMES OUT!!! shiro is the ideal to break especially since he’s 1. mr. badass, 2. stressed out all the time, 3. all seriousness all the time.

the worst part for him is that he would lose a tickle fight to anyone but the rest of the team assumes it’s necessary to team up on him all together. so like.. he’d buckle down to a rib squeeze but instead he gets bombarded with all sorts of pokes. and it’s fucking funny omg. cause he struggles to stay above water but it’s.. pathetic.

while shiro understands it’s 100% common and natural to be ticklish, he tries to hide it as much as possible. he knows it’ll be embarrassing when he loses his coordination and can’t stop whoever. and it’s lance who tries first tbh.

before it starts he uses his dad voice like “listen. stop. everyone i’m serious. do not.” but every one is creeping up on him no matter how he tries to bargain. and he’s dragged to the floor so fast. for once it’s incredibly easy. he definitely tries fighting for a long time though. but, it’s allura, lance, keith, hunk, and pidge v. poor shiro.

lance and keith are at his front doing the typical waist grabbing making him thrash from left to right. and let me tell you his dignity is not doing so hot. keith and lance definitely keep him the most occupied with rapid fire poking and squeezing but the other three are the worst. not to mention, hunk is bigger than him and physically stronger you’d be surprised. and since this isn’t a form of violence, he lets loose with that strength. hunk is behind him, holding him down the hardest. also with both hands under either of shiro’s armpits which are really fucking ticklish.

the usually so stoic tough guy currently is all shoulders up to his ears scrunched up and is struggling and melting to the floor. his laugh is the cutest shit though cause he’s STILL trying to bring out his commanding voice. it’s constantly broken with yells and the most pathetic weary giggling. it fucking tickles so bad he feels so lightheaded and he can just feel his face heating up.

pidge and allura are the real killers cause they’re not as much as simply roughhousing but they’re very calculating and just teasing him. like they find spots like his chin or ears, and since he’s down on the floor they can get to those spots easy! and when allura tweaks his ear it gets quite the squeak out of him.

i love wrecking shiro! too much tbh.

[scribblefics]

idk if this is still relevant but: pidge as a lee is so fucking adorable? they hide the fact that they're ticklish really really well but once you get them laughing, they can't stop. they'll probably murder you in the moment, but you'll get these adorable high-pitched giggles and lots of squirming and pleading probably. as for ler!keith, good luck buddy. he may have a lot of experience with tickling, but once he gets the hang of it, he's incredibly good at it. fast fingers, even smirk = death.

This is still very relevant, thank you so much!! May have to incorporate these into the fic I'm writing right now because I'm IN LOVE

[shancephobic]

Ok before shit hits the fan i'm gonna explain a bit why people believe what the VA's have said about the ages are true. The reason antis know Jere/my sh/ada and ty/ler la/bine are correct and take it as canon is bc what they have said (lance's va said lance is 16 in an interview, hunks va said hunk is 17 but is 16 in canon during the birthday stream on facebook) aligns with the SDCC comic con video. Even josh ke//aton (the va that shaladins LOVE to idolize and praise) acknowledges that k/l/h are minors (if you need proof i'll get screenshots for ya) so i'm not sure as to why this is even discourse anymore??? The garrison question was debunked (if you scroll down on my blog you'll see it) and it never actually gave us REAL numbers. The garrison question never ended the age discourse nor does it help in anyone's argument about k/l/h being adults. Because the creators and va's all agree that they ARENT ADULTS AND THAT THEY ARE MINORS. If you have a problem with ""child soldiers"" then take it up with vld staff. They're the ones that called keith, lance, hunk and pidge not adults. So can people reblog this please? A lot more people need to know about this and its sure as hell annoying that the fandom won't listen to staff and go above and beyond and reach to fucking pluto just to justify minor/adult ships. ALL of your theories and arguments have been debunked. I trust you every single one has been cancelled and ended. Its over. You just can't accept that ya'll were wrong all along

Hide and Seek...? Part 1

Word count: 2.5k

Genre: Fluff

Characters: Primarily Keith and Lance

Themes: ‘Ler!Lance, ticklish!Keith, ticklish!Lance

I know this is a super cliche thing but i’m a sucker for this kind of scenario...

Pidge just had to tell Allura what hide & seek was. And naturally, they had all managed to get together a massive ship-wide game. The problem was that with only 7 players and a whole ship that was also a massive castle, this game was going to take forever.

Especially since Keith had gotten himself stuck trying to get into the air ducts.

He had tried to worm his way in at an angle that was just wrong enough to get his shoulders stuck, and due to the fact he was in a corner he couldn’t just pull himself out using any traction from his feet on the floor. Not that there was any traction to be found, these floors were pure polished… something. Something smooth and from Altea.

Basically, he was stuck until someone found him.

And the fact that Lance was the one seeking worried him.

Why should he be worried? Wouldn’t Lance just pull him out? He tried to reason with himself and calm down. Surely, the blue paladin didn’t remember that one time in the garrison… no that wouldn’t stick in his mind… right?

He started kicking and trying even harder to push himself out somehow, but to no avail. He didn’t budge. Don’t panic…

He heard footsteps approaching in the hallway.

Don’t panic…

He felt butterflies swarm in his stomach. His arms were pinned at his sides, and he’d made it in just past his elbows so his arms were totally immobile aside from his hands. He couldn’t move his forearms to grab the wall and push himself out.

He was really and truly stuck.

The footsteps kept going past as his breath hitched in his throat, then was let out in a relieved sigh. They echoed down the hall, and almost before they faded the walker started humming.

Yeah, it was Lance. But he was moving on past him. Good. And an established house rule was that after getting caught by the seeker you had to help them. So if he passed Keith by, then chances were high that by the time he came back he’d have at least someone else with him. Keith hoped that if there was someone else with Lance, then he wouldn’t do anything. Lance wouldn’t embarrass him that bad, right? No, he wouldn’t. Keith hoped he wouldn’t. Maybe he didn’t even remember. He wouldn’t remember.

Wow, was Keith filled with regret.

Deep breaths. Everything was fine. What’s the worst thing Lance would do, honestly?

Nothing bad, that’s the answer. He wouldn’t hurt Keith. Even if he did get back at him, it wouldn’t hurt…

Okay, the red paladin had to chuckle at that. He felt himself begin to relax as he did so. Lance really would probably just pull him out. He was probably just claustrophobic, which would explain the freak-out he had just before.

Deep breaths, and his head stopped spinning. Everything was fine. He was stuck, but as soon as someone else found him, they’d pull him free. Even if it was Lance.

Sure enough, footsteps returned outside the door, and he heard the woosh as it opened. Lance was humming again, and he was by himself. Keith heard a snort from the doorway as the blue paladin’s eyes found him sticking out of the corner.

“So, it looks like I caught you,” he laughed, strolling over to where Keith’s legs were sprawled out on the floor. Keith’s heart was back in his throat, but he dared not make a sound. Completely unaware, Lance plopped down crossed-legged next to him. “I mean if you’re too busy for such ‘childish things’ then you don’t have to play,” he teased, using Keith’s words from earlier when he protested. He patted Keith’s back, and Keith tensed up despite himself, then mentally slapped himself for it. “Of course, Allura was so excited there’s no way you could’ve gotten out of it. Much like another thing you can’t get out of…” he rested his head on Keith’s back smugly, smiling largely and gloating.

Lance noticed how his friend hadn’t said anything to him yet.

“What’s up, I mean not you, clearly, but mouse got your tongue?”

Keith kicked his leg up to try to hit Lance, but missed.

That was a mistake.

Lance laughed at his futile attempt, but his laughter soon faded and he narrowed his eyes, memory sparked by the kicking leg. His laugh turned darker, and Keith felt his face turn both red and cold simultaneously.

Fuck.

“You know…” Lance began, taking his head and arm off of Keith’s back. “This situation seems a little familiar. But there’s just one…”

Yeah he definitely remembered.

“Key…”

Keith felt Lance tug his right boot off.

“Difference.”

Keith willed himself to stay still. He was on the verge of scrambling but he couldn’t show Lance he was getting to him. He thought of stuttering apologies out but knew it wouldn’t work.

“I seem to remember a similar situation, but then my end was dark and your end was anything but. You caught me off guard back then.” Another tug, and the other boot was gone. Keith was biting his cheek trying to stay still.

“Still not saying anything? I know you want to.” Lance moved down to the opening. “Oh, don’t worry…”

The next sentence plucked the second-last string of sanity from Keith’s willpower, effectively turning his blood to ice and stomach into a swarm again.

“I’ll make you.”

Keith’s face grew warm as his eyes grew wide. His heart was beating in his ears as he felt Lance sit back and pull his feet into his lap. Don’t react. Don’t react.

A finger trailed down Keith’s sock-covered sole. He knotted his brow and dug into his cheek, but his foot remained still.

Lance just chuckled again, and added two more fingers. He began moving them independently, wiggling them on Keith’s arch and his foot curled on accident, a lapse in concentration. Lance paused a moment, and Keith realized he’d been holding his breath. He let the air out, Lance hearing it.

“So that’s why you weren’t saying anything, you were trying to keep quiet!” he laughed. “Man, this is already too good.” Keith pushed his face into the metal beneath him.

Lance repositioned himself so that he was sitting on one of Keith’s legs. He took his free ankle and turned it up towards him, grabbing his toes and bending them back to stretch out his sole. The red paladin concentrated on having no resistance, but man was it hard.

When Lance tickled Keith’s stretched-out sole, his foot jerked, and Lance smiled triumphantly. “Yes!” he shouted. Keith’s determination was wearing thin with each movement of those fingers. Lance moved swiftly and caught both ankles in a headlock. He didn’t bother holding back his toes this time, he figured that it would be enough to have both feet tickled at once.

Lance began again, and Keith lasted about ten seconds before flailing his legs and losing control of them. He still didn’t laugh, that was the one thing he was determined not to let him win at now.

“Oh come on now, you still won’t laugh? Don’t hold out on me, bro.” Keith gritted his teeth out of sight, and fought the smile encroaching on his face. He wouldn’t give in.

Lance set down his feet, then crawled to his waist.

Keith heard nothing and couldn’t tell where he’d gone.

Well, until two hands attacked his hips, at least.

Keith kicked and squirmed in earnest, while trying to quiet the little huffs leaving his mouth. Lance dug in harder, and Keith gave in.

Lance cackled along with him as both of their laughs echoed throughout the room.

“Told you I’d make you laugh,” Lance chuckled down at him, moving his hands inside the vent, tickling his back under his jacket. Keith’s laughs increased in pitch, and little ‘no’s began to pop in between bursts. Keith’s face turned redder at the teasing, and he pressed it down into the metal again.

Lance drifted his hands lower to his sides, digging in along their lengths, and Keith’s laughter nearly went silent. “Too bad I can’t get to your stomach right now. I know you had fun with that. But, hey, I gotta get you out sometime, right?”

Keith tried twisting to get away from the surprisingly agile hands. This was too much… being stuck, the teasing, Lance completely and entirely. His face burned with the last sentence Lance uttered. He was trying not to remember what he did. It was just too embarrassing. But then again… clearly it didn’t go over too badly?

Keith didn’t realize he’d stopped kicking until Lance had finally stopped tickling him a few minutes later. A hand wrapped around each ankle, and the red paladin realized that they were grabbed easier than he thought. Was he really that tired out?

Actually, now that he thought about it, he wasn’t angry in the least. He was… happier than he’d expected to be?

“Okay, now let’s get you out of here,” Lance conceded, pulling him out with some resistance due to the strange angle they were at. “I feel my revenge has been carried out.”

Keith laid there on his stomach, not daring to look at him. That was… embarrassing, and there was a big smile plastered on both of their faces – Lance’s from victory and Keith’s from residual giggles that kept threatening to spill out. He focused on catching his breath.

Keith sat up, facing away from him, and pulled his boots back on. He felt humiliated, and he wasn’t even sure why.

Lance noticed. “Hey, you okay?” There was real concern in his voice, unneeded, but all very present nonetheless.

Keith was silent. Lance took it as anger, when really Keith just didn’t trust his own voice to come out in the right octave or steadily enough.

“I’m sorry, but I…” Lance was at a loss for words now. Why did he do that? Why didn’t he just tag Keith and then help him out? His face grew red as well.

Keith cleared his throat. “It’s o-okay,” he stuttered, a giggle placing itself in there, which he cringed at after.

Lance went to rub his back, but he did so too tentatively, dragging his fingertips down Keith’s spine and Keith twitched, fighting giggles again.

“You know, Keith, I didn’t know you were ticklish. I mean I figured you were, but I didn’t know just how much.” He chuckled. “And I had no idea you could giggle.”

“Shut up—” the red paladin elbowed him, fighting a smile again. “I don’t.”

Lance brought his hand up near Keith’s neck and lightly brushed the skin under his hair. Sure enough, he let out a squeak and then quickly turned and grabbed the hand, finally meeting eyes.

“Shouldn’t—” Keith cleared his throat again, trying to lower the pitch of his voice. “Shouldn’t you be looking for the others?”

Lance’s eyes widened. “Oh my god I forgot about the game!” he jumped up and began to walk towards the door, before turning back towards Keith, who was still sitting on the floor, and extending his arm to help him up.

“Thanks,” he muttered, accepting the gesture and pulling himself up. His legs were a little weak.

Lance smiled after a moment of only-kind-of-awkward eye contact. They turned to walk out and Lance slung an arm around his shoulder. “I gotta say, that little time out was worth finding your weak spots.”

Keith rolled his eyes, fighting a blush at the mention. “Yeah, and don’t forget, I know yours too.”

Lance’s eyes widened again, face and ears turning a darker shade of pink. He laughed nervously. “Yeah? Well this is over. Don’t start a war, man.”

“Yeah, that wouldn’t be a good idea.”

“’Cause you’d lose, oh you’d lose bad.”

Keith scoffed. “Is that a challenge?”

Lance laughed nervously, trying to cover the jumpiness. “N-no, I wouldn’t want to put you through that… again.”

Keith stumbled a little over his own feet. “Y-you know I could take you. If it was a fair fight.”

“Hey, you never cared about fairness when you did that to me.” He thought for a moment. “And if you’re trying to provoke me into a third round…” Keith looked away quickly, attempting, and failing, to act like he wasn’t.

“You are calling for another?”

Keith felt his ears burning as he said nothing, and just looked at the floor as they walked.

“No way…” Lance whispered. “So that’s why you tickled me when I was stuck.”

Keith closed his eyes. Yeah, Lance was right.

“You know, Keith,” Lance began casually, voice at a normal volume once again. He skittered his fingers across the red paladin’s neck. Keith scrunched his shoulders up, giggling. Lance laughed again. “I think this is the start of something great.”

Keith poked him in the side in retaliation. Lance squeaked, then narrowed his eyes at the slightly shorter paladin.

“Don’t start a war, Keith…” he warned in a low growl.

“Too late,” and Keith pounced.

---

“Where do you think they are?” Allura asked Pidge. After an hour of hiding, the other five stopped the game and came back out. They had begun wandering the halls, looking for Lance (and presumably Keith), but so far they hadn’t seen any sign of either.

“Maybe Lance got stuck somewhere, and Keith just hid really well?” Pidge answered. “It wouldn’t surprise me, he’s naturally good at evading.”

“And Lance got stuck before,” Hunk added. “That was pretty funny. Well, not for him maybe. But he sure was laughing.” He added with a chuckle.

“What happened? I’m guessing this was before I showed up?” Pidge asked.

“Yeah, this was a couple months before you, and I really don’t think Lance would want me talking about it,” he rubbed the back of his neck, smiling apologetically. “It was kind of embarrassing.” He looked around, then shielded his hand with his mouth. “Well, as it turns out… Lance is super—”

“Do you hear that?” Coran interrupted. “It sounds like Lance… and Keith?”

“Yeah, I hear it too,” Allura added. “It sounds like they’re laughing a lot.”

The other three couldn’t hear it, due to the Alteans’ sensitive hearing.

“They’re this way!” Allura shouted, walking down the hall in the direction of the sounds, the rest following.

As the other three paladins began to hear the laughs too, Hunk chuckled. “Maybe he did get stuck again.”

They came to the room Keith and Lance were in, and peered inside. They saw the missing two locked in a heated fight, but to their surprise, it was indeed a tickle fight. Lance’s hands had disappeared up Keith’s shirt, and Keith’s fingers were tickling along Lance’s neck. The two hadn’t noticed the five others standing just outside, shifting uncomfortably.

After an awkward moment between the five, Shiro decided to speak.

“Well, we should probably leave them alone… I mean I don’t want to interrupt them,” he laughed uncomfortably.

“Yeah, let’s just leave those two dorks be,” Pidge agreed, face tinged a slight pink.

As the group moved on, Keith and Lance still hadn’t noticed them in the first place. Their world had faded to just each other’s hands; smiles; laughs; pink, flushed faces; and bright eyes crinkled at the corners if not squeezed shut.

[bubblegum-switch]

Wait, Pidge is a Ler?

tbh i don’t hc her/them (not sure of my preferred pronouns for Pidge atm) as very ticklish but hey, my green baby’s still got those few spots (re: upper ribs) that are ticklish… good luck not getting hurt in your endeavors.

But yeah i see Pidge as more of a ‘ler than a ‘lee ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but that’s just my opinion
