[tickle-bugs]

For the writing thing you just posted, maybe Eleanor/Chidi from the Good Place with the sentence, "I don't care about the ethics, it's about the principal of the matter!" with either one as lee or ler, it's up to you~ Also, feel free to completely ignore this if you want, no pressure if you're not feeling the prompt ^^

I miss them ;-; also i think they have dramatic arguments over silly things often. Also also: chidi is right and i will hear nothing else

Light spoilers for The Good Place.

Spoons

"I don't care about the ethics, it’s--Eleanor, it's about the principle of the matter!" Chidi booms, his face pinched up in frustration. She bites back her smile. His glasses skew when he does that. It makes him look a bit like a turtle.

“It’s just a spoon, Cheeds.” She says around a mouthful of soup. 

“You are spiking my blood pressure. Wow.” Chidi huffs, pinches the bridge of his nose, then puts his hands on his hips. “It’s not ‘just a spoon’. It’s never ‘just a spoon’.”

“Well, wouldn’t it be immoral to not use this spoon? Seeing as someone worked hard to put it in our kitchen.” She takes another spoonful of soup. Slurps it on purpose. Chidi’s eyebrow twitches. Eleanor thinks about kissing it. 

“Janet put it in our kitchen. She exerted zero effort to put it in our kitchen.” Chidi hisses and paces in a little circle. 

“Are you saying Janet isn’t a hard worker?” Eleanor rests her chin in her hands and blinks innocently. 

“No! She’s the model of a hard worker--you’re dodging the point! You never ever use the big spoon. Not even under threat of death.” Chidi points at her angrily, as if he’s laying down a devastating piece of evidence in a courtroom. Eleanor can’t help but snort then. 

���But I get more soup on the big spoon.” Eleanor slurps again. The spoon is unwieldy and almost too big-- a leftover minor inconvenience from the Bad Place that they found charming enough to ask for in their new home. 

“Why is this the way that you are?” Chidi sighs. Eleanor slurps louder. 

“Alright. You love big spoons so much? C’mere.” Chidi waves her over. Eleanor frowns and stands, abandoning the spoon to her soup bowl. 

“I don’t like that face you’re making.” She backs away from the table, her gaze never leaving Chidi. He looks calm…too calm. 

“What face? No face here. Just a spoon. C’mere.” He smiles and opens his arms, but the look in his eye is menacing. 

Eleanor bolts. She nearly makes it to the bedroom but Chidi’s faster--he hoists her into the air and throws her onto the couch. She barely has time to squeal at the bounce before he’s upon her, worming his long fingers into her sides and generally being an ethical nuisance. She flails hard, nearly rolling both of them off the couch, but Chidi flips them. He settles against the armrest with her in his arms, taking the opportunity to nibble at her neck as he plunges his fingers into her stomach. 

“Still a fan of big spoons?” Chidi vibrates a claw into her stomach. “Eleanor, I can’t understand you when you’re laughing like this.” 

“Y-Yohou deck! Forking shirt!” She elbows him in the stomach. He takes it in stride, slipping his hands under her arms. She shrieks and throws her head back into his shoulder, drumming her heels into the couch cushions. 

“Bad spot?” She can feel him smiling into her neck. Bastard. 

“Okay! Okahahay! No big spoon!” She curls forward into Chidi’s hands and falls into giggles, which…gross. He kisses the nape of her neck as he tickles her ribs with ferocity. 

“I will consider your crimes atoned for…in two minutes.” He slides his fingers into the rips of her jeans and starts tickling her knee. Eleanor dissolves in his arms and cackles, tears prickling at her eyes. 

“C-Chidi!”

…

Eleanor waits to strike until it’s dark. Chidi’s finally relinquished his nighttime read long enough to settle into the bed and night proper. He’s not asleep but he’s sleepy, and sleepy Chidi is immensely weak. 

“Hey babe,” Eleanor murmurs sweetly, snuggling close. She circles her arms around his waist and hooks her chin over his shoulder. He immediately presses back into her and sighs, sleepy and floating. She kisses his shoulder without an ounce of remorse.

“Guess what?” She prompts. When Chidi grunts in acknowledgement, she grins and curls her fingers into his stomach just enough to make him shiver, then tense. 

“Big spoon.” 

Chidi’s laughter rings throughout the house, as warm and buoyant as the rest of their new lives.

- These two,,,, i love them sm,,,,,

- Eleanor is pretty ticklish everywhere and she has this squeaky, sort-of musical laugh? It’s so infectious and adorable and Chidi has permanent heart eyes for it and for her :’) She also cackles a lot and makes these funny gurgle noises and it’s incredible

- Chidi,,, cheedster,,,, cheeto,,,,, He is very ticklish too but he is Tall and Eleanor is a goblin so she’s usually on the receiving end

- Eleanor is always asking for tickles in every possible way without saying the words. She lounges across his lap, pokes him without end, pranks him in every single way under the sun, all of it. 

- Sexy time for them is a nightmare okay,,, Eleanor tries to kiss Chidi’s neck and he just crumples and she’s like >:) But when they actually get going and they’re in the mood, Chidi tries to kiss the inside of Eleanor’s thigh and she knees him in the nose 

- Chidi is Stronk and carries Eleanor places (mostly because she demands it) but her knees are in his hands and,,, well,, they end up on the floor more often than not

- Eleanor is so giggly omg. Chidi will tease her by asking questions but not slowing down his tickles so she can answer. He’s all “Eleanor stop laughing I can’t understand you” and then she just giggles more

- Chidi loves to come up behind Eleanor, scoop her up in his arms, and then absolutely go to town. She just squeals bc sURPRISE but by the time her brain figures out what’s happening she’s giggling

- Sometimes Chidi is Mean and refuses to lean down to kiss her so she squeezes his sides ruthlessly until he falls over and then she kisses his nose when he’s on the floor :’)

- Eleanor absolutely loves Chidi’s smile and she pokes him all the time to see it. He insists she doesn’t have to but she insists that she does :) 

- Eleanor,,,, cannot handle pokes or one finger tickles,,, she gets so angry and her giggles have lil growls but she can’t mOVE and she’s so ticklish and ugh,,, babie,,,,

- Eleanor tries to b all cute and sweet and tickle chidi’s back and he makes this strangled sound and bends like,,, 90 degress and she’s like oh? >:) and he’s sweating because,,,, oh no,,,,,
