TickleTober2024/Day 03 - Cleaning

Genshin Impact - Ayato x Thoma

“Frankly, young master, I’d never thought you’d take a liking in such activities,” Thoma chuckled, pushing the towel he was using back inside the bucket filled with soapy water. “I still need to remind you, young master, that you should be careful around the dirt.”

Ayato chuckled, extending his leg to ease his servant’s work. “It’s just mud, Thoma. I think I’ll survive it,” he tilted his head with a playful smile on his lips.

With Thoma kneeling right before the balcony that led to the Kamisato Estate’s garden, Ayato couldn’t help but feel the warmth inside his heart as his servant cleaned the dirt off him. It almost made Ayato forget the embarrassment he felt when he slipped inside a puddle of mud. “But maybe I should, indeed, leave the gardening work to your capable hands.”

Carefully holding Ayato’s leg by his ankle, Thoma rubbed the towel around Ayato’s calf and shin, going all the way from Ayato’s knee down to his ankle. “Allow me to instruct you next time, young master,” Thoma muttered, shifting to Ayato’s other leg, “for now, let’s get you a little cleaner before you go inside and take a proper bath.”

Ayato nodded, placing his hands behind him to support his body as he waited for Thoma to finish him. Thoma’s touch was almost comforting, relaxing even. The damp tower gently caressing his skin, freeing his body from the dirty sensation. 

That, at least, lasted until Thoma brought his attention to Ayato’s feet.

“A-ah, Thoma, wahait-”

“I already know what you’re going to say, young master,” Thoma chuckled, keeping a firm grip around Ayato’s heel to prevent him from pulling his foot away, “but I can’t allow you to leave dirt footprints around the clean house.”

“B-but- ahaha!” Ayato giggled, pressing his eyes shut while covering his smiling lips with his hand. He should have expected this. It was always like this.

Even when helping him after or during his baths, Thoma would always sneak this kind of play in the middle of the ‘cleaning’. Ayato, for some reason, always allowed himself to fall into this trap again and again.

Thoma rubbed the towel against Ayato’s sole, making sure to not let his master escape. “I-I cahan clehehean myself thehere!” Ayato whined, trying to reach out to Thoma’s hand, just to have his own foot pulled out of his reach.

With a smirk on his lips, Thoma wiggled his fingers under the towel, tickling all around Ayato’s foot, from his heel up to under his toes. “I’d be offended, young master, if you forbid me from doing such a simple task. Please, sit still, I’m almost done.”

“Y-you ahahare just tihihickling me, Thomahaha!! ~” Ayato protested, laying back on the balcony and pressing both his hands against his face while laughing. His foot twisted and squirmed inside of Thoma’s grip, but simply couldn’t find a way of freeing itself.

After making sure he got rid of all the dirt, Thoma allowed Ayato to pull his foot away. The noble gasped for air, sprawling around the floor as his body went limp. He revealed his flushed up cheeks, trying to look annoyed despite the wide smile on his face. “W-why do you always do this?!”

“I have no idea what you’re talking about, young master,” Thoma chuckled, damping the towel in the soapy water again, “now, be patient. I still need to clear your other foot ~”

A/N: I still like this pairing a lot and I love this kind of scene, so of course I'd take the chance to write for them in this prompt

I hope you guys liked it and thanks for stopping by!! See you tomorrow with our next prompt ~

[ticklish-n-stuff]

Ehe~ Thomato? 👀

Ayato said he was going to go to bed but instead took his papers to his room and is sneakily working on them. Thoma can’t have that smh smh 🤨

Stubborn commissioner

MWAHAHA LEE AYATO

I'm not very confident in my thomato writing skills, but I hope you still enjoy it!💖💖💖

___________________________________________

Ayato x Thoma (interpret as you wish)

Lee: Ayato

Ler: Thoma

Warnings: Tickles!

___________________________________________

As someone who harbored a lot of responsibilities, Ayato always did them with elegance and grace. At least that’s how he presented himself, but his most trusted servant knew the truth about how overworked and rushed Ayato truly was. As was the case tonight as well.

“And you promise you’ll go straight to bed? No more working, right?”

“Of course, Thoma” Ayato waved him off with an innocent look. Thoma was a bit hesitant to leave him be, but decided to trust him this time. Oh how wrong he was. The moment the blonde was out of sight, Ayato took his leftover stack of paperwork to his bed. I mean, he did go to bed. Although he decided to tune out the second part.

As Thoma finished his nightly tasks at the estate, he couldn’t shake off a strange feeling. He felt an insatiable urge to check up on the commissioner, considering how stubborn he could be at times. So he did just that. He quickly headed over to the bedroom, normally he’d be polite and knock, but in the case his lord was actually sleeping, he didn’t want to disturb. “It’ll be just a quick peek…” Thoma told himself as he slowly turned the doorknob.

Ayato felt like a deer in headlights at Thoma’s unexpected arrival, being caught red-handed. “...well, you never said I had to sleep��.

“I also said not to work” Thoma placed his hands on his hips, staring down at his lord like a disappointed father. Except Ayato just shrugged and kept on doing his paperwork as if Thoma wasn’t there to give him a piece of his mind.

The blonde had to remind himself to breathe in and out, there’s always a more civilized way to resolve conflict. Although that sort of logic can’t be applied when a certain someone is too stubborn to listen. Y’know what does apply? A silly approach.

“My lord, if you won’t listen, I’ll have no other choice but to resort to… drastic methods” as the blonde spoke, he cracked his knuckles. Ayato’s pen suddenly stopped writing, his whole body tensing up. Did he dare continue writing despite hearing such a threat?... Of course he did! Just as he stopped, he quickly resumed writing.

“Alright, but don’t say I didn’t warn you”

Ayato was too zoned out to even notice Thoma’s eerily approach before it was too late. He suddenly felt a light swipe go down his spine. “Ah!” He gasped out loud, back arching forward. Although his movement was quickly restrained as two arms wrapped around his waist.

“Where do you think you’re going?~” Thoma whispered teasingly against his ear, two fingers digging into either side of Ayato’s stomach.

“WaHAit! Thomahaha!” It didn’t take long for him to burst out into bright giggles, squirming in the blonde’s arms.

“I’m done waiting. Either you put those papers aside and sleep, or I keep going” Thoma stated simply before burying his face against the crook of Ayato’s neck, making the latter squeal.

“Buhut I cahan’t…!” The giggly male whined out, gripping his papers for dear life.

“It’s cute you think you have a choice in the matter~” Thoma chuckled against his skin, worming his fingers under Ayato’s shirt.

“HAH—?!” Ayato almost doubled over when he felt cold fingers against bare skin, poking and prodding wherever they went. Papers flying everywhere as he went to grip at Thoma’s wrists. Not like he put much force into it, wether it was lack or energy or something else, who knows.

“My lord, do you still refuse to sleep?” As the blonde spoke, he softly wiggled his index finger against the commissioner's navel.

“EEP?! I— PFF! AHAHAHA! NOHOHOHO! OKAY! OKAHAY! I’LL SLEHEEP!” Ayato leaned his head back, his limp body resting against his servant as he laughed with all his might. It was rare of him to let out such a boisterous laugh. Any energy he had left was definitely drained.

“And you’re very sure you’ll actually sleep now?” Thoma moved his hands to Ayato’s waistline, giving his hips a light squeeze.

“YAH?! Yes! Yehes! I’m suhure! Just– plehease!” the Kamisato clan leader was at his wits end, his laughter turning wheezy and airi. As adorable as the sight was, he really did need the rest.

“Haha! Okay, I’m done now. I promise” Thoma gave a sweet smile as his fingers came to a halt, his arms losening their grip to let go.

“Wait!—”

“Hmm? Yes, my lord?”

“Can we cuddle?” Ayato gave him a sleepy smile, one that Thoma couldn’t refuse. Not like he ever did.

“Of course, I’d love to” he held Ayato tightly once more, the latter resting his head against the blonde’s chest. It didn’t take long for the room to be full of soft snores. Thoma smiled down at him, giving a gentle kiss to his forehead, before joining his master in his slumber.

When Dawn hits the Kamisato Estate (Thomato)

Its been a while, hehe, I should post my stories more ;-;

Anyways, here is some cute Thomato, oomfies :3

-----

One morning, Thoma had accidentally overslept since he was rather a heavy sleeper and had not awoken for almost an hour. Ayato decided to wake up his friend, and he entered their room as the blonde was snoring and sleeping soundly. Seeing his friend was having a peaceful slumber, Ayato was unsure if he should wake him or not, but his conscience got the better of him. Thoma had to wake up.

So he climbed up onto the bedside and shook his friend's side.

"Thoma, wake up." He spoke and a grumble and a yawn was heard, as Thoma opened his eyes to see his friend.

"Wakka, what is the meaning of disturbing me?"

"You've been asleep for over an hour. You need to wake up, Everyone's going to consume your waffles now." Ayato explained, but Thoma yawned and turned to his other side and fell back to sleep.

"Thomaaaaa, come on! Wake uup!" The blue-haired man persuaded, climbing onto the rocky male and got an idea. He smiled mischievously and started to tickle Thoma's side and stomach, jolting the Yashiro leader awake and giggled uncontrollably.

"Ahahahahahahahaha! W-Wahahakahaha!!!, Stop it! I am in nohohohohohohohoho mood for tihihihickles! Hahahhahahaa!" Thoma laughed as he rolled onto his tummy to protect it, but Ayato started to tickle his sides harder, making him giggle and laugh.

"Wakey wakey! Time for you to get up, boulder." Ayato teased, but that made Thoma sit up, throwing him off-balance and onto the floor.

"Eh? That does it, Come 'ere~" Thoma laughed as he chased after his friend all over his room until he finally caught him and pinned him to the ground and started to tickle Ayato.

"AHHH! Ahahahahahaha! GAHA!!! Stohohohohohohop! Ahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!" Ayato squealed as Thoma's skittering fingers scratched and wiggled around his belly.

"Hah! That's what you get for tickling me!" Thoma softly growled as he moved his hands up to the young lord's underarms, tickling them at full force.

"GAHHHHHHHH! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" The periwinkle-haired man laughed out loud, squirming to free himself from his tickly misery, but with no luck. The tickling was too much.

After a few minutes of tickling his underarms, Thoma stopped and was suddenly attacked by his friend and the rolled around to see who would be on top, and Thoma came on top, but on Ayato's back and tickled his sides very quickly.

"Time for a tickles, boba boy~" He teased again as he wiggled and poked around Ayato's sides and reached below to tickle his stomach. Suddenly, Ayato twisted around and Thoma fell gently to the ground on his stomach and Ayato sat on top of him.

"No. You, puppy~" Ayato chuckled evilly as one hand held down Thoma's feet, and the other tickled his toes, and the household shrieked with hysterical laugher, trying to get away but was pinned.

"Cootchie cootchie coo~! There is no escape from me. " Ayato teased as his hands attacked Thoma's feet, tickling them hard and fast.

"Nohohohohohohohoho, Hahahahahahahahahahaha! Please stop tickling me!! WAHAHAHAKAHAHAHAHA!!!" Thoma cried, tears of joy streaming down his cheeks, but Ayato didn't pay attention, continuing his tickling spree.

In hopes of saving himself, Thoma reached out and tickled Ayato's feet and the periwinkle stopped and turned over, freeing himself. The blonde pounced onto his friend and tickled his tummy and underarms, but soon the two of them began tickling each other, none of them in hopes of giving in. For almost half an hour the tickle fest went on and the laughter flowed through the estate.

Inside their room Thoma was pinning Ayato down while tickling his tummy and Ayato was tickling Thoma's sides, but their energy was starting to wear off. Finally they both stopped, feeling tired and all tickled out.

Ayato lay himself on the floor and felt Thoma snuggle on him and hugged him, and the hardening hero decided it was alright since he was like his best friend and hugged him back.

"Maybe Ayaka won't mind if we'll get to the bottom floor in a few minutes, what do you say?" Ayato asked, knowing Thoma was getting sleepy as well as him.

"Sure, that's fine." Thoma yawned and the two fell asleep in each others arms, feeling happy and great to have a wonderful moment like this.

Bubbles

Genshin Impact - Thoma x Ayato

A/N: I was pretty much struck by inspiration out of the blue and decided to write this. I also missed writing for Thomato so why not. ehe.

Summary: Thoma decides to help Ayato with his bath, but things easily go out of hand.

Word count: 1610

Warnings: There isn’t anything explicit, but… well, Ayato is naked, it’s a bath, after all. Ah, yes, there is also tickling.

"Don’t take this as a complaint, but wouldn’t you agree that I’m way too old for having someone helping me in something like this?” Ayato slightly turned his head to the side, just enough to let the other notice the subtle grin on his face. 

“Allow me to disagree, my lord,” Thoma said happily, gently taking his hands over Ayato’s shoulders and helping his master take off his clothes. Once he had placed his coat away, Thoma walked back to him, kneeling in front of Ayato to continue to help him undress. “Actually, if you asked me, my lord, I’d say it’s only proper for a servant to help their master even in the simplest tasks.” 

Ayato let out a soft chuckle, taking his hand to his face as he covered his lips to muffle the side and cover his grin. “Oh, Thoma, you are embarrassing me,” he lied, watching the blonde test the water with half-closed eyes.

“Then bear it with me a little longer, my lord,” the housekeeper said softly, gently taking Ayato’s hand as he guided the clan’s head into the bathtub.

Once Ayato’s body was submerged, Thoma stepped back, taking out his gloves and red coat. Now, stripped from the heavy clothes, he walked towards Ayato again, feeling welcomed by the smile on his master’s face. 

As the sound of his bare feet tapping against the bathroom’s flooring got louder, the clan’s chief knew the blonde was already close to him. He leaned back into the tub, letting his head fall back as he looked up, his eyes meeting Thoma’s. Ayato grinned, letting out a sigh. 

“Is something wrong, my lord?” Thoma asked, picking up some products he left near the tub earlier.

“This is bringing me memories,” Ayato replied, leaning his head back forward, “from back when we were younger.”

“Ah, indeed,” the blonde muttered, putting some shampoo on his hands before starting to massage the back of Ayato’s head, "the other servants used to scold me because I would get things wrong so often back then," Thoma chuckled.

With his eyes closed, Ayato laid his head back into Thoma's touch. "But now you have mastered every possible task. Seems like you turned the tables on them, in the end,” the clan’s leader pointed out, holding his breath when Thoma poured some of the water over his head to rinse his hair.

“I’m flattered by your words, my lord,” the fixer muttered softly, placing his hands on top of Ayato’s shoulder, starting to move his fingers as if giving the man a massage. “But I still have plenty of other things to lea-”

“Ah!”

Ayato’s voice suddenly broke through their conversation, scaring both of them and splashing some water out of the tub as he jolted. He was distracted by their talking and Thoma’s touch that he failed to notice when the blonde’s fingers roamed a little closer to his neck.

Thoma’s thumbs brushed against his skin so gently that sent a whole wave of tinglish shivers down Ayato’s back, making his squeal in surprise. 

“Did I hurt you, my lord?” The fixer said in a hurry, with clear worry in his voice, while moving his hands away.

Ayato sighed, already blaming himself for that exaggerated reaction. “No, Thoma, I just… got distracted for a second,” he muttered the made up excuse, rubbing his neck to try get rid of the ghostly feeling that remained in the spot.

“Very well… please tell me if anything is bothering you”, Thoma nodded, now taking place by the tub’s side. He slowly reached for one of Ayato’s arms, gently moving the sponge over his skin and, at that exact moment, the clan’s head could tell this would be tough.

Just like in every other task, Thoma made sure to do a meticulous job. Dragging that unbearably soft sponge over Ayato’s skin over and over until he was sure he was done with it and moved to the next spot.

Meanwhile, Ayato put up his best efforts to not melt in a puddle of giggles. Having Thoma touching his neck and his back so gently was already leaving him at the edge of cracking up and, after battling the urge to laugh for a while, he was pretty sure the housekeeper was able to notice the way his muscles suddenly tensed up whenever the sponge roamed close to one spot or another and, yet, made no attempts to speed up the process or change the way he moved his hands.

Ayato could feel his lips twisting into a smile, his teeth greeting and his hands clenching as hard as he could. Why did it feel so damn ticklish?!

“My lord?”

“Y-Yes, Thoma?” He snapped back to reality. Thoma looked like he was waiting for something, but Ayato couldn’t even guess what it was. “Sorry, can you repeat it?”

“Your arms,” Thoma pointed out, “can you move your arms up a bit?”

Those words made Ayato’s heart sink inside his chest. Part of him was already blaming his past self for agreeing with this madness, while the other tried to come up with an answer. But, in the end, he simply followed his servant’s instructions.

Ayato was at his limit.

“T-Thohoma… p-plehease,” Ayato giggled, pressing his eyes shut as he tried to squirm as little as possible when Thoma started to move that damned sponge against his side.

“Yes, my lord?” Thoma said, hiding a chuckle under his breath, already well aware of what Ayato was going to say.

“C-can’t yohohou go any f-fasteheher? Or nohohot b-be so gehehentle?!” Ayato whined through another stream of giggles, splashing some water out of the tub and soaking part of Thoma’s clothes in the process.

“I’ll try my best, but it might still feel a little ticklish. Try to bear it with me, yes?”

“Eheheasier s-sahaid than doho- AHaha, Thomahaha!” Ayato’s words were cut by a sudden squeal when the housekeeper gave him a little “help” and held his arm by his elbow, managing to move his other hand all the way from his ribs to the underside of his arms.

“I can imagine, I’m just as ticklish, my lord,” Thoma said, as if comforting Ayato in some way, even if the clan’s head would take that more as something more like a tease.

The following minutes felt like an eternity. The blonde couldn’t help but laugh along with his master, even if it meant to have more water splashed on his clothes, messing the bathroom more and more.

Ayato’s face was already tainted with a bright shade of red, completely contrasting his natural cold colored palette. After putting up such a battle, he barely had energy to fight or to mind the light feeling when Thoma moved to his legs. He was laying his head back, catching up his breath and wearing a slight smile on his lips. It would all be over soon, he told himself.

“See? It wasn’t that hard, my lord,” Thoma said, trying to get his master to talk to him again, even after “torturing” him.

“Speak for yourself, Thoma… I’m getting you back for that later,” Ayato muttered between short gasps and the servant knew very well that it wasn't a threat, but rather a warning about what would be waiting for him later that night.”

“I’m looking forward to that, my lord,” it was Thoma’s bland answer before he pulled Ayato’s ankle out of the water, making the other man eye him. Without further notice and without giving his master the chance to say something, Thoma brushed the sponge against Ayato’s foot.

“AHA- T-ThohOHoma, ahah, w-waHAhait!” Ayato tried to pull his leg out of the fixer’s grip or twist his foot away from the sponge, but both were to no avail.

“No can do, my lord, I can’t allow myself to delay your schedule for tonight, can I?”  The blonde spoke innocently, repeating the moves and even getting a little rougher to tease his master, all while Ayato’s cackles filled the bathroom.

The clan’s head held on the tub’s edges of his dear life, falling into a helpless giggling mess that did not resemble the image of his reputation at all.

More and more water splashed out of the tub when Thoma began to slowly abandon his duty, beginning to use his fingers to tease and tickle the soap covered skin = which only made things easier for him.

“AhahAhah, n-no moHOHore, ThoOHohmaha!!”

“I’m almost done, my lord,” Thoma cooed, scratching the middle of Ayato’s foot and sending his master into a renewed fit of laughter.

By the time he was done, there was probably more water on the floor than inside the tub. Ayato could still feel the ticklish sensation running up his legs. Despite the tiredness from the ticklish assault, he could feel his body much less tense than when he had finished his work. 

He smiled, tilting his head to the side and watching the housekeeper picking up a dry towel. Ayato’s smile grew even larger once he noticed that Thoma was also smiling.

“Give me a moment, my lord, I’ll take you to your room and call someone to help me clean this mess,” the housekeeper muttered, wrapping the towel around Ayato’s body after helping his stand back on his feet and get out of the water.

“There is no need, Thoma…” Ayato spoke softly, looking down to his servant to meet his eyes, “you can’t delay my schedule, can you?”

The blonde chuckled softly, standing in front of Ayato and shaking his head. “No, my lord, I can’t.”

“Then let’s get going… we can deal with this mess later.”

“Yes, my lord.”

Thoma x Ayato (interpret as you wish)

Lee: Ayato

Ler: Thoma

Warnings: Tickles!

___________________________________________

Ayato was many things: calm, collected, elegant, that's how he was known to the public. The only one who got to see his more... 'silly' side was Thoma, like now. The Kamisato clan's leader was refusing to go to sleep, although he had an early meeting to go to.

"My lord, please go to sleep. It's good for you" Thoma felt like he was dealing with a hyperactive toddler, which I mean isn't that far off, but he wasn't sure how much patience he had left in him.

"Hmm... make me, why don't you~" was all he was met with, as a cocky Ayato layed back with arms folded behind his head.

In that moment, Thoma could feel a vein pop. He really knew how to push his buttons, but he wasn't the only one with a trick up his sleeve. It was time to resort to drastic meassures. With a deep breath "Y'know what? Fine! But don't say I didn't warn you". Thoma cracked his knuckles dramatically before jumping on top of his master, earning a surprised squeak from the latter.

"T-Thoma?! I didn't think you'd be this bold...~" Ayato tried teasing him to throw him off his game. Letting out a chuckle as Thoma's cheeks turned a nice, crimson red.

"You- you will sleep! If it's the last thing I do" his determination managed to push back the feeling of embarrassment and with that, his hands latched onto Ayato's waist, watching as his eyes went wide when the realization hit.

"Wahait! Uhh... I'll go to sleep?" the blue haired male spoke with a sheepish grin, but the damage had already been done.

"Oh sure, sure. After I'm done with you~" now it was Thoma's turn to fluster him, his hands delivering squeeze after squeeze along Ayato's hips.

"PFFT! NOHOHO! NOT THEHEHERE!" Ayato instantly gripped onto Thoma's jacket as he threw his head back in loud cackles.

"Here, how about a nice massage to get you all losened up?~" the blonde couldn't help but chuckle along as his thumbs rubbed deep circles against Ayato's hip bones.

"WEHYAHAHAHA! WAIT! OKAHAHAY! I'LL SLEHEEHEEP!" the leader begged as his eyes squeezed shut and nose scrunched up, it was quite a cute sight, but Thoma couldn't afford any distractions right now. Not until his master was all tuckered out.

"Hmm... I dunno. Perhaps 10 minutes of tickling is just what you need~"

"S-SPEHEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE AHAHARE YOU?!" how did this man manage to keep teasing while being tickled half to death? Who knows, power of being Kamisato Ayato.

Thoma's cheeks huffed in flusterdness and annoyance. "I tried playing nice, but now you've forced my hand" literally, he shot his hands down to Ayato's thighs, but instead of squeezing aggresively, he lightly trailed his short fingernails all over the soft skin. As gentle as it was, it was an absolute killer move for his master.

"Thoma nohoAHAHAHAHA—" it wasn't long 'till Ayato's laughter switched to silent wheezes and gasped, you'd think he was being tortured.

"I think I'll stay riiiight here until you fall asleep~" Thoma spoke with a grin, keeping up the light grazes and scribbles over Ayato's thighs nonstop. Lessoned learned, don't annoy Thoma.

✨Thoma’s Troubles✨

Idk why Itto is so low-res bro

⚠️This fic focuses mainly on tickling. Please do not read it if that upsets you.⚠️

Thoma is sad until Itto makes his day better :)

a/n: the word “muzzle” is mentioned, but it refers to the body part of a dog. I’m pretty sure the nose / face area is called that? Nobody is wearing a muzzle, English isn’t my first language. Also, some swears appear.

Word count: 2908

It was a rather gloomy day in Inazuma. The sky was cloudy, the weather was cold, and the air smelt of rain. Most people preferred to stay indoors today, so the streets were emptier than usual. Unfortunately, mother nature wasn’t alone in her sadness; it affected some of the people as well. Especially Thoma…

He let out a sigh after the last customer of the day left Komore Teahouse, relieved to no longer need the customer service mood. He was meant to assist the loyal pooch Taroumaru today, as Ayato had noticed he needed a break from his usual duties.

“Won’t this rain ever end…?” He mumbled, petting Taroumaru’s head to distract himself. He felt grateful for the break, though he still had a lot on his mind.

“Woof!” replied the shiba, his tail wagging as he received pats. The two of them wouldn’t receive customers for a while, so they could just chill.

“Haha, you sure are cheerful today, buddy…” Thoma said with a small smile as the doggo gave his hand a reassuring lick.

“Hm? Ah, it’s nothing, don’t worry about me.” Thoma said, trying to smile in spite of his mood, but he still felt that nagging pain of Sadge™️ in his heart.

“Woof woof!” This clever dog saw right through him, and he was having none of his lies.

“Hey, I’m not-…!” But before the shiba could scold him further for lying, footsteps quickly approached the teahouse’s entrance.

“Hoo! Phew, finally some shelter! C’mon, buddy! Hurry!” The door opened, revealing a slightly drenched Itto with his little bull companion Ushi, both wet from the heavy rain.

“I-Itto?! Oh my! You’re- You’ll catch a cold…!” Thoma exclaimed, surprised to see them entering like that.

“Heh! Oh don’t worry, this is nothin’. Mind if we crash here?” Itto said with confidence, shutting the door once Ushi was in. “I’ve been through worse!” he added with a chuckle.

“L-Let me get you some towels. I’ll be with you in a moment!” Thoma sprung into action right away, leaving the room for a moment while Taromarou went to greet his guests.

“Hahaha! Thanks, man! You’re a real one.” Itto replied, chuckling as Ushi tried to shake himself off. “Hey, hey, be still. Gimmie a sec.” he said, kneeling down to remove the bull’s armor.

“Mooo…” Ushi moo’d with satisfaction, stretching a little before walking towards Taromarou, who had hopped off the counter to play with him.

“Woof woof!” he barked, happily wagging his tail as Ushi replied with another moo.

“Hah! You two sure get along well, huh?” Itto said, chuckling at their cute communication. “Aww, hello, boy! Workin’ hard today, huh? Such a good boy!” He knelt down once more to pet Taromarou, before being “attacked” with puppy kisses.

“Woof woof!” The shiba was happy to see him, licking the oni’s face affectionately, which made him stumble a little.

“Hahaha! Easy there, pal! It tickles.” He said, laughing as he played with Taromarou. “Mooo…” Ushi watched and yawned a bit before he looked around, wondering when the retainer would come back. He preferred to be without chaos for now, wanting to sit beside his master after he’d calmed down.

Meanwhile, Thoma had found the towels, but struggled to leave the room to join the others. He knew they needed to dry themselves, but unfortunately he felt like he couldn’t go back just yet. He knew he should, but the moment he felt tears in his eyes from all the built up sadness, he just wanted to hide. Hearing the fun Itto was having, he didn’t want to spoil it. He knew deep down the oni would understand, being as kind as he was, but he chose to stay to finish crying first.

The playful chaos in the other room lasted for quite a while before the trio realized Thoma hadn’t come back yet. Taromarou had calmed down by then, laying in Itto’s lap with a content expressionon on his widdle face while Ushi huffed to get their attention.

“Hm… hey, shouldn’t Thoma be back now?” Itto asked, petting both animals on their heads.

“Moo.” Ushi agreed, looking to the direction the human had gone.

“Uh-huh… Hey, Taromarou? Wanna earn yourself a treat?” Itto asked with a smile. The shiba perked up and wagged his tail. “Go find Thoma for us, alright?”

“Woof woof!” Taromarou barked with some excitement before he hopped up and sniffed to pick up his master’s scent. He didn’t really need to do this, since he knew where the towels were, but he did it anyway just to be sure.

“Damn it…!” Thoma muttered to himself, wiping his tears away to stop crying. Hearing the door be pushed open by Taromarou startled him, and he almost dropped the towels onto the floor. The loyal dog whined as he walked up to his human, sensing something was wrong.

“Ah-.. what’re you doing here, boy?” Thoma tried to act normal, but couldn’t hide his slightly dampened face from man’s best friend. Taro let out a small growl before barking, basically telling Itto to get over there. “Ah- shh, sshh, don’t-!”

“Woof! Woof woof!” Taromarou huffed and looked at him with big puppy eyes, his tail resting behind him as he felt worried. Thoma was about to say something, but Itto came in just then.

“Aha! You found him! Good boy!” Itto praised, chuckling before he noticed the lack of excitement in the shiba.

“Ah…! S-Sorry for the wait.” Thoma tried to act natural, smiling slightly as he handed a towel to Itto. “You must be cold by now. Please, take this.”

“Ah- thanks, heh!” Itto focused on drying his hair before anything else. He had to be careful not to rip the towel with his horns as he rubbed it against his head.

“Moooo…” Ushi closed his eyes and Thoma knelt down to dry him off. It felt good, he thought.

“There you go, lil- ah, I mean, big guy. Hehe.” Thoma chuckled at his error, but to his dismay started to feel sad again. Emotions are complicated, he thought. He couldn’t hide them from Itto, especially not when knowing he’s so kind and caring. The oni was talking about the weather, but Thoma wasn’t paying attention, trying to control his tears and distract his mind.

“…and it was cold, man! I usually try to brush it off… real men don’t carry umbrellas, I say. I’m starting to reconsider that, though… ugh…” Itto rambled, messing up his hair with the towel as he tried to dry it quickly.

Taromarou whined at Thoma while Itto combed his hair to fix it. The oni glanced at the housekeeper and noticed a sniffle. “Hey…? Are you okay?” he asked.

And that’s when the floodgates opened, of course, at that simple question. He trusted Itto, so his brain was simply wired to let go of his emotions now. He couldn’t say much as he wiped his tears.

“Thoma…” Itto knew Thoma liked hugs, so he sat down next to him on the floor and invited him into one. Ushi wiggled away from the towel to comfort the worrying shiba while the men hugged one another.

“There there, I got you…” Itto comforted, patting the other’s back. Thoma’s cries were mostly sniffles and hiccups. His voice was barely heard. He rested his head against the other, melting into the embrace as he sought comfort. “I’m just so tired…” he said, sniffling and wiping his eyes.

“I get that…” Itto couldn’t remember if he’d ever seen Thoma cry before. It worried him, but he kept focusing on comforting the other. Poor guy, thought Ushi as he stood by and watched, trying to comfort the whining shiba. Thoma calmed down after a while, feeling much better after letting his frustrations out. He wanted to pull away, but simply couldn’t as he rested against Itto, so tired from such a long day.

“You okay?” Itto asked, patting his back as he loosened the hug.

“Mm… it’s been a long day, I guess…” Thoma replied, wiping his eyes again.

“Yeah. Maybe it’s the weather? I mean, it’s pretty shitty today, isn’t it?” he said with a light chuckle, pleased to hear a snicker from the other.

“Heh, yeah. It’s been raining all day. I’ve felt down since I woke up this morning.” Thoma said, sighing. “I guess I got up on the wrong side?”

“Mm, maybe. I know how it feels. It sucks.” Itto replied, adjusting himself as Thoma pulled away.

“Yeah… one thing lead to another, and-… here we are.” Thoma said, hinting as if something else was wrong.

“Mhm? What happened?” Itto gave him a curious look.

“Ah, just… minor inconveniences building up.” He didn’t want to talk about it and hoped Itto wouldn’t pry.

“Ah, dude, I hate when that happens! And it’s always when we’re already upset- THAT’S when our clothes get caught on door handles.” Itto ranted, crossing his arms.

Thoma laughed, and Itto felt glad for that. “It’s true! It really is…!” the pyro wielder agreed, chuckling at Itto’s attitude.

“For real. Ugh!” Itto rolled his eyes before smirking and laughing it off with Thoma. They were still sat on the floor, allowing Taromarou to come cuddle his master.

“Y’know you can tell me anything, right?” Itto asked, patting Ushi who’d come over to join.

“Yeah… I just… I heard some whispers around the estate, and all… I kinda miss Mondstadt, too.” Thoma took a breath and explained as best as he could. Sometimes, certain estate guards were not kind to him. They didn’t think a guy from Mondstadt belonged there, working for such an important family in Inazuma. Their distasteful jabs really stuck with him today, since his mood was already down to begin with.

“It’s not the first time… I’ve already told Master Kamisato about it. Again.” he sighed as he said this, petting Taromarou while he spoke.

“Psh, then you gotta tell them to fuck off! Stand up for yourself, man! Those guards ain’t shit!” Itto said, angry that someone would be so mean to Thoma. He was such a kind soul! He didn’t deserve that!

“Ah, I know… but- well, they’re kinda intimidating, heh…” Thoma chuckled slightly, a bit embarrassed. Ushi huffed in response.

“They’re pussies, actually! What, they can talk smack behind your back, but can’t say it to your face?” Itto questioned.

Thoma chuckled. “They do, sometimes. It’s pretty back-handed.”

“The audacity! Ugh, when I catch them-…” Itto huffed angrily, clenching his fists.

“L-Let’s not escalate anything, okay? I’ll talk to Ayato about it…” Thoma said, smiling nervously.

“You still need to stand up for yourself and tell those guys to buzz off!” he said, now censoring his swears for Thoma’s sake.

“I-… I can’t do that, Itto.”

“Yes you can. Ayato wouldn’t fire you for that, y’know. He’s a chill guy.”

“That’s not what I’m worried about. Those guards just scare me too much…” Thoma frowned and looked away, getting nudged by Taromarou.

“Then scare them back. Tell them the big bad oni will come get them if they don’t stop!” Itto said, grinning with some amusement at his idea.

Thoma chuckled. “Itto, they’d arrest you on sight if I threaten them with that!”

“So what? I’m not going down without a fight!” Itto chuckled too, enjoying their newfound banter.

“And how do you think Ayato would react seeing you beat up his guards?”

“If his guards are asshats, they deserve it.” Itto shrugged. Thoma snickered and started laughing at Itto’s goofy arguments.

“Hahaha…! Oh you’re impossible to reason with~!” he teased.

“Pfft, so are you!” Itto struggled to contain his giggles.

“Touché. Hahahaha..!”

“Hahahahaha!”

Once they had calmed from their shared giggles, Thoma felt the weight on his heart lighten. Taromarou wagged his tail and nuzzled him to comfort further. Thoma giggled at the shiba’s antics, feeling ticklish from the way his muzzle rubbed against his neck.

“Aww~ such a good boy!” Itto cooed, smiling at the cuteness. Ushi agreed, giving a small nod he’d learned from the bipedals around him.

“Pfft~ Hehehey!” Thoma protested half-heartedly as Taromarou excitedly pawed at him, licking his face and wagging his tail. “I-It tickles!” Thoma giggled more as the dog managed to push him over.

“Hahaha! Yeah, get him!” Itto joked playfully, laughing along at the scene.

“Itto, help me~! Hehehehe!” Thoma laughed playfully, putting little effort into escaping.

“Haha, fear not, I’ll help ya out!” Itto said, with a rather devious expression which the housekeeper didn’t see.

“Ahahaha! Hurry!” Thoma laughed as the playful shiba licked his ear, trying to push the doggo away.

“Heheh, do I have to?” Itto took his time, giggling at the scene before scooping up Taromarou and placing him aside.

“Hehe…! Thank you…” Thoma chuckled, about to sit up before he suddenly found himself laughing out loud again as Itto betrayed him, tickling him instead. “WhAAHAHA!! Wahahahahait- nohohohohoho!!” he squealed with surprise, weakly pushing at his tickler’s wrists as he laughed and wiggled.

“Instructions unclear, couldn’t let him have all the fun!” Itto teased, playfully wiggling his fingers all around, gently but quickly tickling the other. Taromarou hopped around playfully as he watched, happy to see and hear Thoma smiling and giggling.

“Ihihittohohoho!! Ahahahahahaha! Plehehehease!” Thoma laughed, not squirming around as much as Itto had hoped he would. The tickly sensation of those nails combining with his shirt’s fabric was simply maddening, yet strangely fun.

“Heheh! You want me to stop?” Itto asked, targetting the other’s sides and ribs for the funnie.

“Ahahahahahaha!! N-Not thehehehere!!” Thoma squealed, his eyes squeezed shut as he laughed and wiggled. Despite how badly it tickled, Thoma didn’t squirm too much, but the teasing made him want to roll away and curl up. Itto snickered, finding him oddly adorable while tickling his tummy, making him laugh and flutter his legs. “Mhm? You want mercy yet?” he asked.

“Ahahahahahaha!! Y-Yehehes, plehehehease!!” Thoma finally pleaded, giggling his head off. He was a really ticklish guy; a fact both Kamisato siblings knew well before Itto found out.

“Hahaha! There ya go~ was that so hard?” Itto teased playfully as he stopped tickling. He reached out to help Thoma, pulling him up to sit.

“Haha… huff… haha… that was mean, you know…” He said, too shy to admit he’d needed it.

“Heh! Ya better keep on smiling now, or the tickle monster might getcha!” Itto joked, laughing at the playful shove he got in response.

“Don’t be so childish! Hahaha…” Thoma joked back, chuckling with amusement. Boy, he sure was lucky Itto had shown up.

“Hahahaha! I’m not being childish, I’m just warning ya.” Itto replied, sticking his tongue out in a playful expression.

“As if, you goof.” Thoma chuckled, feeling a lot better than he did earlier today. He was really glad Itto showed up, relieved to no longer have to cry. “Heh… thanks for cheering me up, though…” he said, a bit sheepish since he’d been tickled.

“Ah, no problem. I’m just glad I could help out!” Itto replied, grinning proudly. “And besides, it was really funny seein’ you giggle like that.”

“Oh, don’t even mention that!” Thoma blurted out, embarrassed by his teasing.

“Heh! Or what? What’re you gonna do ‘bout it?” Itto taunted playfully, giggling at the playful banter.

“Tch.” Thoma had to think of something…

“I’ll just tickle you agai-”

“Taromarou, get him!”

“Wh-What?!”

“Woof woof!” Itto’s confidence was short-lived as the shiba sprang up, wagging his tail as he unleashed his nuzzling attack. Ushi huffed and sat a bit further away from the chaos, knowing dang well his master wouldn’t last without squirming.

“Pfft- that’s not fair!” Itto protested, giggling his ass off already as he tried to gently push the dog away. The affectionate nuzzles and licks against his jaw tickled real bad.

“That’s how it started for me, so it’s plenty fair.” Thoma replied, chuckling with amusement. Unfortunately, he didn’t have the courage to tickle Itto himself, so he let his pupper do it instead.

“Hahahaha! Make him stop~! I- hahaha! I cahahan’t-! Hehehehe!” Itto struggled to speak through his giggles, and Taromarou pushed him over just like he’d done to Thoma.

“Hehehe, that’s so cute~!” Thoma cooed, adoring his dog’s antics. It was also really funny how such a small dog could bring such a powerful oni down like that.

“Hahahaha! C’mohohon! Stahp it!” Itto snickered and finally managed to convince Taromarou to let up, giggling as he caught his breath.

“Are you really that ticklish, Itto?” Thoma teased with amusement. He was genuinely curious, though.

“Tch, am not! Shut up…” Itto protested, though he struggled to act grumpy because that moment was simply too sweet not to smile at.

“You sure about that? Taro sure had you fighting for your life there.” Thoma said with a chuckle.

“Psh, that was nothing! It’s not like I was dying from some puppy love.” Itto scoffed, trying to save his pride.

“Mhm, sure…” Thoma chuckled and shook his head before standing up from the floor.

“I’m not lying!” Itto retorted, standing up as well.

“I didn’t say you were!” Thoma replied.

“You-…! Pfft-…”

Neither of them could continue their banter as they laughed at the situation. Itto never failed to bring joy and sunshine wherever he went, even on the gloomiest of days. Thoma felt grateful to have him as a friend; he was always so kind and loving to him.

Perhaps he should seek him out more often…

Tickletober 2024

Day 3: Reward

Lee!Thoma x Ler!Ayato

IM FINALLY NOT SICK!! And I'm stupid and never queue fics mhich means I'll be posting 3 prompts a day until i catch up (2ish days i think?)!! Anyways, this one was fun to write, I love these two idiots.

Quick warning for sugge$tive themes!!

==========================================

“I won, Thoma~” A certain commissioner purred, leaning into another certain retainer at Komore Teahouse, the strawberry-blond fighting the urge to regurgitate whatever the hell it was he just put in his mouth. 

“M-my Lord, what was that?!” He said aghast, a grimace on his green face as he downed the blue-haired man’s sweet-tasting boba.

“Oh, just some lavender melon mixed with sauerkraut from your homeland…and some slime concentrate.” Ayato smirked, biting his lip to hide his urge to giggle at his lover’s repulsed expression.

“Ugh, Archons why- why would you mix those together?!” He asked with wide eyes and a hand covering his mouth, an astonished laugh leaving his lips as he did so.

“Because it’s supposed to be a challenge, Thoma. There’s nothing challenging about eating a normal hotpot.” He chuckled, rubbing the other’s rumbling stomach through his thin black t-shirt. “Now, I’m the winner, so~”

“Yeah, yeah, you want your reward…” Thoma sighed with a fond smile, a blush already creeping over his cheeks. “Where this time, Ayato?”

The man in question took his sweet time deciding that very important question. Last week he raked his nails over the other’s feet for quite a while, just a few days ago he tormented the other’s pits for almost half an hour, and last night he paid much attention to his muscular thighs. Now, though, he wanted to see his toned muscles – it was quite rare for the commissioner to be able to spend a good amount of time with them other than during activities that were far more risque. “Shirt off, Thoma~” He sang, kissing the other’s cheek.

Thoma sighed, the blush on his face deepening as he shrugged off his outerwear before beginning to peel off the tight shirt, his lover watching intently, biting his lip as he watched the show.

Tossing his wardrobe to the side, the shorter man laid across Ayato’s lap, a hand clutching the fancy robe he wore as the reddening skin creeped down to his chest, his master laughing fondly.

“Why are you always so shy, Thoma? You have an amazing body – nothing to be ashamed about, that’s for sure. Besides, I’ve seen far more-”

“E-enough!” Thoma shouted, covering his face with his hands and groaned. “Just get it over with already.”

The Yashiro commissioner laid a hand on the toned muscle of the soft stomach in his lap, running his hand back and forth to feel the soft skin, as well as the few scars littered here and there. “Oh no, I plan on taking my sweet time, thank you very much. It’s rare to see you this vulnerable.” He chuckled, taking one of Thoma’s hands to kiss the back of it. “Now…”

And then he attacked, his well kept nails lightly fluttering and scratching over the muscles, the man counted each individual one as he did so. “So strong!” He praised, “Onnne, twooo, three…”

The blond was a giggling mess almost immediately, hands slammed onto his blushing face in order to hide from his tormentor. “Ahahahyatohoho! Dohohon’t tehehehease!” He whined.

“But you’re so adorable! And handsome. And strong. And pretty and beautiful.” Ayato never let up, punctuating each statement with a tweak to the other’s side as he laughed along with him fondly. Surely this little reward wouldn’t last more than fifteen minutes, but then again, no one’s keeping track of the time – definitely not Ayato, at least.

[keru0]

Ill never tire of seeing Itto getting wrecked 🙏

Day 13 - sneak attack

Sorry this is so short, I was really busy today to say the least…hopefully the post before this makes up for it a lil bit.

Itto x Thoma

Enjoy ^^

“Oh? Itto?”

“Hm-? Hey, my compadre, Thoma!”

“If you’re looking for my lord, I’m afraid he’s going to be busy for the rest of the day…”

“Aw, how come?”

“He um..had some errands to run, but he tells me to pass his apologies to you.”

“No problemo,” Itto smiles.

“So, I’m not too versed in beetle fighting but- hey!”

Itto suddenly slides his hands into Thoma’s coat, raking his nails along the housekeeper’s ribs.

“Sorry, my bro, but Ayato didn’t take his punishment after losing last round, and someone’s gotta pay for it. It’s the Arataki Rule.”

This sneak attack caught Thoma completely by surprise, “what-?! But I- hahahaha- I wasn’t told anything about this-! Hahahaha!”

“Hehe, sorry bro, Ayato should’ve told ya.”

“Wait- hahahahaha! At least let me- hahahaha- try to win- hahahaha- a beetle fight!”

Itto pauses, “hm? But you said you didn’t know how to play.”

“I know bits and pieces…”

“Okay, well, let’s do it! Haha!”

Itto releases Thoma from his grasp. The second the oni lets Thoma go, Itto gets pounced on.

“Hey-! That’s unfair!”

Thoma grins, straddling Itto’s hips, “using the element of surprise is far from cheating, hehe.”

“Ghk-! You-! Hahahaha!”

Itto throws his head back as he laughs boisterously as the housekeeper pokes at the ridges between his abs.

“Hehe, you’re lucky that you beat Ayato, if you got this punishment Ayato would be ruthless. Trust me on that, I’ve had to deal with it myself.”

“Wha- hahahahahaha!!”

“Mhm, and with how sensitive your sides are, you’d be done for.”

For emphasis, Thoma pokes Itto’s sides with ferocious speed.

“Gyah-! Hahahahaha!! Okay-! Okay!! Hahaha- I give!”

Thoma stops, “already? Well, have it your way. But, if I get off, you gotta make a truce alright?”

“A truce…?”

“No more sneak attacks.”

“I got a better idea.”

“Oh?”

“One more sneak attack…”

“No-”

“On Ayato.”

Thoma grins, “on Ayato.”

Tickletober 2024- Day 3: Cleaning (Thomato)

"My lord, I'm not the one who needs to get cleaned..."

"You still look dirty to me, I have to thank you about all the help in the house"

[ppystkposts]

Thoughts | Thomato

part 1

A/N: This is my first fic, so please be gentle. It's very short, I hope to get you guys opinion on this

warning: tickle (duh)

words: 436

Thoma didn’t know what he was feeling. I mean, he knew it, but was tried to reject the butterflies he felt everytime his master needed his help.

At first, he thought maybe it was just because he had never dated anyone before, but he realized maybe it wasn't simple like that. His mind were just 'Ayato, Ayato, Ayato. '

Was it maybe a kink......? No, he never had those thoughts with Ayaka.

Whatever was it, It was getting a bit out of hand.

Ayato was working, as always, in his room since it was near bedtime. Thoma was cleaning, per usual, but he couldn't help the glaze to his master, 'why's he so handsome? no, more than that, he's absolutely stunning...If I could tackle him down, I would use his feather pen to trace over his muscular body. He would squirm at the tinglish feeling .T-thoma...." and call my name.'

.....

'WHAT

Now, what are you thinking of your own master Thoma? He gave you everything and unlike the other 'masters' he speaks to you with a gentle voice and treats you so well. If you ever tried to tickle him, he would never forgive you, you sinner.'

"Thoma?" Ayato cut his thoughts

"Yes, master?!" He promptly answered as his heartbeat increased a bit more.

"I was wondering if you could help me with this..." Ayato pointed at the pile of papers near him as he knew Thoma didn’t have much knowledge in politics.

"Of course!" The man quietly sat down near his master and began to organize the papers.

'That scared me, just if Master Ayato could read my thoughts. .. I don't know if I would be more or less embarrassed by not speaking with words. But look at him again. His handwriting is perfect, I don't even have much to do in here.

Hm....? what is this'

Ayato was now hugging Thoma from behind and his hands traveling the servant sensitive torso as he said

"Thoma, I noticed"

What????? what did he notice? "Y-yes?"

"You were staring at me. What were you thinking?"

"N-n nothing master, p-please" DID 'MASTER NOTICE I WAS HAVING DIRTY THOUGHTS?'

"Oh really, I think you're not being sincere to me." '??!!!'

Now, It really began. Ayato used his short fingernails to send electric ticklish shocks through Thoma's stomach and torso. Everything was happening so quickly that he didn't even have time to try and catch Ayato's hands.

'Why is master tickling me, why he's so good at this too?' Thoma had so many questions with no answer at all.

"M-mahahaster plehehease dohont" Thoma cried

"Please don't what, tickle you? But you're not being a good boy, don't you think that's a good punishment?" he asked as he continued the assault now moving to Thoma's sides."NAHahaHA I'm SOHOHrRY"

"If you're sorry, tell me the truth," the tickle stopped.

Thoma was breathing heavily and using the time to try and formulate the right words. 'What am I supposed to say?'
