Tickletober Day 11- Hug

This is a 2012 fic!

Bro it's so cool to get to write for so many new characters! Alr, enjoy!

Lee: Donnie

Ler: Casey

TW!: MILD SWEARING! FEELINGS OF BEING OVERWHELMED! (This turned out to be a little angstier than I initially intended it to be, but it's nothing crazy.)

This is set between season 3 and four. I'll describe a little more under the cut, but beware of mild spoilers!

(Set after the Kraang invasion, but before the crew goes to space. 👍)

"'Sup, guys! Make way for Casey Jones!"

The black-themed teen hopped the turnstile at the entrance of the lair, and nodded a greeting at the sunset duo, who were on the couch. Leo walked in from the kitchen to greet him, and smiled. "Hey, Leo. Where's Donnie? I gotta tell him about my idea for the Shellraiser!"

The blue-banded turtle's smile faltered, and he nodded towards the shut doors of the scientist's lab. "He's.. in there. I don't think he's doing so well, so go easy on him, okay?" Casey nodded, muttering a "gotcha" before making his way to the purple-teen's lab.

Upon opening the door, the raven-haired was met with a clearly upset Donatello, head hidden in his arms on the desk. Casey frowned, taking a more careful approach at confronting him. "Hey, Don. You.. alright? You don't seem too good." Donnie groaned, pressing his face harder into his arms. "No, Casey.. Just leave me alone."

Casey sat on the chair he had been using for the past few days since getting back from the farmhouse, leaning an elbow on the other's desk next to him. "You wanna.. talk about it? We're friends, you know."

The scientist paused, glancing up from his arms, then sighed. "I.. suppose that might actually help.." Casey smiled, scooting his chair to face the other better.

"I guess.. I've just been overwhelmed. I'm always pressured to fix problems, repair broken things, and prepare everyone for everything.. and I have to figure it all out with what I know of science and mechanics. It's gotten to the point where.. I just don't really see it as a passion anymore. More of a.. responsibility."

The smile on the shorter's face was immediately wiped away as he heard the problem, brows furrowing in concern. Crap. He knew about the weight on his friend's shoulders, but for him to start losing his passion for science..

"Don, we didn't know.." He looked down, trying to think of what would comfort the other. "Do you.. need a break from it? I think we could probably manage for a little bit, and you've taught me lots of stuff.." The lanky turtle rubbed at his face, groaning again.

"I don't know.. if I'm not working.. what else do I do? Just sit here, twiddling my thumbs?" he scoffed. "I don't have anything, other than knowledge.."

"Hey- don't talk like that. You're not just a pile of thoughts, you're a super cool dude. None of us think of you as just 'the brainy guy'. You do know that, right?"

The mutant seemed to miss a beat, biting his cheek. "Yeah.." he nodded slowly. "Right, I know that." Casey huffed, rather aggressively wrapping his arm around the other. "Well, just in case you forgot, allow me to give you a few reminders."

Donnie had started to relax into what he thought was a hug, lifting an arm up to hold onto his friend. Not even two seconds later, a choked noise escaped him as that same hand darted for his throat. Instead of being strangled, as his reflexes seemed to have expected, the fingers started wiggling into the side of his neck. The purple-themed turtle let out frantic giggles, chin slamming down on the other's hand, and his shoulders shot up, but it did little to stop the attack.

"Akgh- Cahasey! Whahat the hehehell! Heheh!"

A grin was back on the raven-haired's face, and he kept pressing his fingers along the taller's neck. He brought his other hand up, and rammed his nails into the cartilage of his side, resulting in a shriek from the other. "Heh! Don, you wanna know something?"

The gap-toothed mutant snorted, scrunching up as best he could, arms weakly swatting around. "NAHAH! Ihi- Whahahat?" He managed to speak around his giggles, folding over and slouching dramatically in his chair. Casey laughed, moving to tickle both of his sides at once, short nails running up and down the bridge of his shell. A wide smile cracked the mutant's face, and he tried to wrap his arms around his waist, but the other just reached around him.

Donnie's legs flailed about, and he slapped at the flat surface in front of him. "We all really care about you. If you feel like you need a break, or want to do something different, we'll be there."

Don squealed as his ribs were squeezed, and was soon screeching and begging for his release, as his friend tickled him mercilessly. Even if he could find the proper words to respond, they would be drowned out by his laughter. Casey watched the other's eyes squeeze shut, and shoved a hand up into his underarm.

"GAHAHAH! CahaHAHASE- HIC! NYEHEH! HIHI CAHAHN'T! SNRT- STAHAHAP!"

The black-themed only shook his head, putting on a mock-serious tone. "Not until you tell me how great you are."

"CAHASEY! FUHUCK NOHO! JUHUST STAHAHAP!"

He tickled harder, digging into the indent of his side.

"KGHEHEHEH! NOHO-"

"Admit it."

It took another couple seconds of tickling, and a poke to the hip, but Donnie finally broke.

"AH! OhohkahaHAY! OKAYOKAYOKAY! IHI'M SNRT- GREHEAT! I'M GREHEAT NOW STAHAP!"

Casey smiled, lowering his hands. He patted the turtle's carapace as he giggled, slowly catching his breath. When he did, he leaned backwards, holding onto the ledge of the table to keep from falling, and closed his eyes.

"Johones.. I hate you."

The shorter only chuckled, giving the other a poke in the corner of his armpit. "Yeah, yeah. Whatever." There was a moment of comfortable silence, followed by a more careful, "..so, do you think you need to take a break?"

Donnie sighed. "Actually.. I think I was overthinking things a little. I'll be okay.. if I could get a little help here and there."

The hockey-playing teen grinned.

"Casey Jones is your man!"

Could we maybe hear ur 2012!April n Casey tickle hcs?

Of course you can!!!

(Sadly, because of how April was depicted in the show with her relationship with Donnie and Casey, she isn't my favorite, but I really liked the relationships she had with the rest of the brothers. She seemed really sweet and I wish we got to see more of that.)

Alr let's goo

April and Casey tickle hcs!:

TW!: None I believe

April:

Lee

I feel like she isn't suuper ticklish, but there are definitely some spots that get her going

These spots include her neck, sides, belly, underarms, and feet.

Worst spots are belly and underarms- catch her off guard and she'll squeal

It took a while for the turtles to warm up to being touchy-feely with her, but her most common lers are Mikey and Casey, though Leo and Donnie get her sometimes.

Mikey is glad that she goofs around with him on occasion, and Casey does it to tease her or get her to relax and take a break from schoolwork.

Leo, after becoming closer friends with her, began having tickle fights with her to calm down after a stressful day, and Donnie tickles her as a bonding method.

Her laugh is mainly giggles, though it can be louder. She also squeals a lot.

Doesn't tend to get flustered very easily

Tends to grab onto her lers hands, and twists

Will kick whoever is tickling her, but apologizes afterwards (unless they're being really annoying)

Ler

She loves tickling her friends, and sees it as a fun activity and a great way to make them happy.

Tickles Donnie and Mikey the most

She and Mikey team up sometimes, and do their best to sneak up on each of the group members

Isn't a necessarily gentle ler, especially if provoked, and should not be underestimated, though there are instances where she will be more careful

Favorite spot to tickle is the sides

Loves practicing her stealth skills through tickling

Builds up anticipation, slowly inching her hands closer to tickle spots, teasing, etc.

Tickling style is usually quick pokes and squeezes, though on gentler days it's scribbling and prodding

She also teams up with Raph if someone is being annoying, or upset

With Casey, She tickles him to get him to focus, or to stop bothering her

After training with Master Splinter, she was given a few weapons, including a pair of shuko, which Mikey taught her how to use for tickling

Aftercare is always a hug and a compliment

I see her as a switch-leaning ler

Casey:

Lee

I feel like this kid is almost as ticklish as he is stubborn, which is saying something

Is basically ticklish everywhere, but his worst spots would have to be his underarms, ribs, and knees

If he knows tickling is coming, he can stop his reaction almost entirely, so catching him off guard is key

Once he starts laughing, however, he can't stop, so after the initial reaction, he's lost.

Has very loud laughter, a mix of cackles and shrieks

That is, unless his neck is targeted.

When it comes to his neck, Casey will scrunch up and giggle, barely fighting back

He absolutely gets bullied for this, but he can't help it.

Most common lers are Mikey and Raph, but Donnie and April are close runner-ups

He actually has an impressive amount of stamina, which he uses to his advantage

Flails around like nobody's business, punching and kicking as much as he can

Will absolutely provoke people into tickling him

Doesn't mind being tickled, though he would never admit it

Ler

Ohh boy.

This man is a tickle MONSTER.

Casey uses tickles all the time

Will continuously poke at everyone constantly

No one is safe

That being said, he tickles everyone pretty evenly, though it's most likely to see him getting Raph or Donnie

Tickle fights with Raph are extremely common

Is a very experienced tickler, as he has a little sister, and puts those powers to use

Definitely has a rougher style, and loves using squeezes, scribbles, pokes, and especially raspberries

Will basically jump the turtles when they least expect it and just destroy them, unprovoked

Favorite spot to tickle would be underarms- it gets big, crazy reactions

Will tease, use baby talk, and laugh along with his lee when tickling, and never lets them live it down

Initiates tickle wars sometimes, just for the sillies

In these ways, he will usually form an alliance with one or two of the turtle brothers, though sometimes he goes all "every man for himself"

Aftercare is probably check in, a pat on the back, and/or some water

I see him as a ler-lean switch! 😁
