Gently, Please

Summary: Jayce is at a breaking point now that he’s on the council, he wasn’t expecting all of this responsibility put onto him. He goes to the place (and the person) that puts him most at ease.

Author’s Notes: For some reason I struggled with this one and I wasn’t really sure why. I feel like they’re a bit OOC, but you guys can judge that or let me know if I’m overthinking it. 🤔 I feel like I write a lot of angst/comfort tickles, someone should tell me to write some sass with Jayce and Viktor one day, I feel like it’d be fun.

Thanks to the anon for giving me this prompt! I hope you like it. :)

Jayce couldn't take much more. 

He missed being in the lab with his partner. Being in the council was fine, he supposed. It gave him a lot of opportunities to help with their Hextech research outside of the lab. Getting investors and funding really helped. 

But honestly? He'd rather be in the lab. 

That's how he always felt - he wasn't used to telling others what to do, wasn't used to all this responsibility. He needed a break, even for an afternoon. 

And that's what he intended on doing as he made his way to the lab - his second home - pushing the doors open upon entry.

Viktor was working away - as usual, he practically lived here - his back turned to Jayce. As Jayce approached, he could see Viktor was messing with… some sort of new device at the workbench. 

The sound of Jayce’s footsteps alerted Viktor, resulting in him swivelling around in his chair, pushing his goggles up to his forehead. 

“Hello, stranger,” he commented, looking Jayce up and down. “I haven't seen you in a while - mm, how are things with the council?”

Jayce’s expression changed to something troubled. “It's a lot to take in. I'm not used to all of this. If I'm being honest, I'd rather be here.”

“Would you be comfortable talking about it?” Viktor enquired, using his cane to lift himself off his seat, and then lifting himself to sit up on the workbench, waving a hand to offer Jayce his seat. 

Jayce sat down, the chair bouncing a little as he lowered his weight on it. 

“I didn’t ask to be on the council. I know there’s a lot of benefits to it. For our research, for me, for you. This is all new to me, though.” Jayce leaned over, laying his head down on Viktor’s lap, the other placing a loving hand gently on his head. “I’m a symbol - an icon now. I’m the Man of Progress, making Piltover’s future brighter. But it’s a lot of responsibility I didn’t ask for.” Jayce let out a sigh as he finished speaking.

“It’s a lot to take on, that’s why I try to not be in the public eye,” Viktor spoke, carding his fingers through Jayce’s hair. Viktor knew it soothed him in times of heavy stress. “I apologise for that. Perhaps if I did, you wouldn’t be bearing this feeling all alone.”

“No, Vik, it’s fine. I wouldn’t want you to feel uncomfortable having so many eyes on you,” Jayce moved one of his hands to rest on Viktor’s knee. “I just have to bear it. For us, for our work. For our Hextech dream.”

“I’m always in the lab if you need someone to discuss this with, Jayce. All you need to do is ask, and I will always assist you when you need it.”

“I’m grateful you’re on my side, Viktor.” Letting out a relieved sigh, Jayce closed his eyes. “It’s good to get things off my chest. Though, it didn’t make me feel as good as I thought it would.”

“Mm, Is there anything I can do to make it better perhaps?” Asked Viktor, his fingers tangled in Jayce’s hair.

Jayce thought for a moment. Well, he noticed there was always something Viktor would do for Jayce whenever he was stressed out. He always struggled to find the words to ask, though… 

“Can you do… that thing?” Asked Jayce, craning his head so he could look up at Viktor.

Viktor raised a questioning eyebrow. “That ‘thing’?”

“Yeah, you know, that thing you always do whenever I'm stressed out of my mind… or when I’m annoying you too much.”

Viktor tilted his head in confusion at first. He had to flip through his memory for this one. 

Whenever Jayce was being stubborn or particularly irritable, mainly when Jayce was running low on sleep, Viktor had a few tricks up his sleeve to try to make Jayce relax. Sometimes, he had to pull out the big guns… ah, he remembered. 

Jayce wanted Viktor to tickle him. He realised Jayce had the most roundabout way of asking for it, though…

“Ehh, you can use your words, you know.” Viktor had to tease Jayce just a little with a chuckle. 

Jayce moved his hand to cover his eyes with the back of it, his cheeks a little red from the conversation. “It's embarrassing… it makes me feel weak. But I never seem to mind whenever you do it.”

Viktor’s hand trailed from Jayce’s head to the nape of his partner’s neck, scribbling his fingers against the skin. “Well, how could I decline?”

Jayce was already starting to crack up from the small simple touch alone. “Ahaha, can you just– hehehe, be gentle?”

Viktor scoffed at that. “Aren’t I always?”

“Yeheheah, but extra gentle thihihis time.” Was Jayce’s giggly request.

“Whatever you say.” Gently pushing Jayce’s head so Viktor could slide off the bench, he propped his cane off to the side so he could use both hands. He reached forward, gently wiggling his fingers against Jayce’s sides.

Jayce was already giggling, even more so now. He reached out and latched his hands on Viktor’s wrists, but made no attempt to move his hands away. In fact, it was to keep Viktor’s hands in place. Viktor’s hands moved up to gently squeeze at Jayce’s ribs, causing Jayce to throw his head back and laugh.

“You know… mhm, whenever you want this, you can just say the word. You don’t have to bug me while I’m trying to concentrate. And you don’t have to beat around the bush when you’re upset, you understand? Even without saying it directly, I can always tell when you’re in a mood… for this.” Viktor wanted to know Jayce was safe to tell him these things.

Jayce nodded his head in reply, scrunching up his nose when Viktor hit a particularly sensitive rib. Viktor always liked to watch his face change whenever he tickled him. He looked different with a carefree smile stretched across his face.

Viktor started to slow down, figuring that Jayce had had enough. He pulled his hands away, placing them on his hips instead. “How was that? Did it make you feel better?”

Jayce was slowly catching his breath, even gently tickling took his breath away. “Yehehes, thank you, V…” he gazed up at Viktor with a smile, getting up from the chair. 

“It’s definitely a strange thing to ask to make yourself feel better… but it makes sense when it’s you, somehow. Very odd, but endearing.” Viktor gently teased and gave a small smile.

Jayce’s heart nearly leapt out of his chest at Viktor’s comments, his face growing more beet red. “Ahem, anyway… before anyone starts looking for me, why don’t I help you out for a while? Knowing Mel, she’ll start wondering where I am.”

“Of course, I’d be pleased. You haven’t been in the lab for quite a while now. I appreciate the assistance, and the company.”

They both wandered over to the blackboard to discuss some new ideas for Hextech. They could be lab partners for a little while longer.

He really missed this.

How Naive are you Sweetheart If You Think that I would stop If You Start To Beg Or Cry 🥱

Things Lees say VS what they actually mean

-“I’m not ticklish” = Ticklish/asking to be tickled

-“Not that spot/don’t tickle me there”= Extremely ticklish spot

-“noOhOho” = Keep going

-“Cursing in a sentence” = Tough love

-“Make me” = BEGGING to be wrecked

-“Please” = Whatever your doing don’t stop

-“Any inaudible sound” = Give me tickles immediately

- ^Trying to escape^ = I’m now turning this into a game so chase me

-“Do something about it” = Pissing you off so I get wrecked

[tkrbt]

As much as I’d love to be absolutely ruined, I can’t help but love the playful aspect of tickling just as much- if not more on occasion.

Of course I’d love for you to pin me down and tickle me to pieces, or until I’m a delirious little mess of babbling laughter, but come onnnn~

Wouldn’t you love to just have me wrapped up in your arms? All shy and flustered over the lightest fluttering of fingertips against my sides and ribs. Hiding my face in my hands, turning into a blushing mess with every little tease you coo at me. Sounds lovely, doesn’t it?

Yes, I would absolutely adore being turned into a hysterical mess underneath you, but it’s so much easier to just turn me into a giggling mess with nothing more than a few little pokes and prods while I’m snuggled against you 💜

You get it now right?…….

Just how in control I am 🪶😏

[ticklish-switchler]

I'm extremely happy Elektratouch is finally back again!!

Look at this!! It's so amazingly teasy

[tickly-deer-boy]

OH OH OH! TICKLES UNDER A BLANKET DURING COLD WEATHER! 💚💚

All snuggled up with a partner or friend under a warm blanket and they decide to tease your sides and stomach AAA THAT SOUNDS SO CUTE RIGHT NOW!

[bigdumbtickler03]

One of the most ticklish tummies ever!! the laughs are so cute 😭

I would absolutely love to tickle someone this sensitive my GODD it would be so cute and fun and ahhh <3

[kittylee]

This might be a little toxic…

But I LOVE HATE when there’s a struggle before you eventually get pinned down and tworded!

Something about the power dynamics and the fact that you know you're going to lose but you just can't help and try anyways makes me feel so vulnerable that it drives me crazy!! But let's be honest we know you wanted to lose anyways huh?

Anyways, I think there's not wrong at all with making the ler work for it! It's even cuter when you can see how badly they crave you once they finally catch you ;)

[wonder-tickler]

Do you like my little feathers? Because they looove your ticklish toes…

[justforlaughsandtickles]

I love standing while being tickled but it sure is harder to last as long 😂

Hunting season

Look at you go! I had no clue my cute little lee could run that fast! Maybe it's the fear, adrenaline, or a mix of both, but after you poked me one too many times, it was game on. You should be grateful I gave you a head start, or else I'd already have my lips wrapped across your tummy~

But I'm honestly impressed! You've jumped over my furniture and slid underneath chairs, all in an effort to evade your ticklish fate!

But what's this?!?! You've ran into the bedroom? Awww! Poor thing, trying to lock me out. This is my house love... I have the keyysssss!

I'm in now, darling~ nowhere left to run... Oh gosh, look at how adorable you are... slowly backing into the corner, begging; your hands raised into the air as if you're surrendering. But it's too late, love, I want you. And now I have you, and I'm savouring this lovely look of fear on you as I close in and you sink towards the floor.

What a good display of skill. But I came out on top... and now I am on top... Straddling your hips~ You ready my love? I just wanna have a little nibble...

Concept: Going to a halloween shop and THINKING you're taking a pic with one of the newest animatronics, only for them to reach from behind you and squeeze your side

[tkrbt]

You know what I need?

A ler with facial hair. Not necessarily long facial hair- maybe just a five o clock shadow. Rough, prickly, insanely ticklish.

I mean think about it, think of all the different spots it would just drive me a lee mad. Of course the neck is a big one! Rubbing your face in your lee’s neck is already guaranteed to have them flustered and giggling, but add facial hair to the mix! And why not throw a few kisses and raspberries in there too? Not to mention, your hands are still free to tickle wherever they please. Give their tummy some attention while you’re at it!

I mean truly the list of spots to susceptible to beard tickles is almost endless… neck, tummy, sides, ribs, thighs, anywhere you can dream of! I just think that should be utilized a bit more often 💜

[sm1l3r-1]

These coupons are great I need someone to use these on 👀😏

Each are just amazing, would be an idea to use these in a month and refresh them so they can be used again so on and so forth 🤔👀

Ok but like imagine telling a lee to keep their arms above their head while tickling their armpits and if they put them down they get no more tickles..

No restraints & no pinning.

The lee can laugh, squirm, kick, yell, throw every insult they can think of at you and nothing happens- but as soon as those arms go down it’s over with.

What’s so great about this is that lee’s are used to getting intense tickles when they loose little tickle games like this, they win no matter what the outcome is, but changing it to no tickles makes it more interesting (and creates whiny lee’s).

Using little paint brushes & feathers to drag across their armpits while they struggle to keep those arms up for you. Lots of giggles and squirming.

Or…

Going crazy on their armpits. No mercy. Digging your fingers in them, using your nails to scratch at them, rubbing circles with your thumbs on them, if these are all done correctly then the poor lee shouldn’t last for more than a minute max. Lots of screaming and thrashing.

When the lee finally looses since we all know it will happen, you will be left with a very needy lee begging for more or an overconfident lee who will act like that was nothing and secretly wish the game continued.
