Zhongli x Aether x Childe TK HCs (OT3)
Woops I enjoyed these three a lot and felt like writing a fic but I’ve got a lot of other stuff to work on already so I’m going for the quicker option: headcanons! Again! Note: LMAo while I see ‘love triangle’ things around I simply ship all three together. Here we go:).
- Childe having Aether on his lap as he playfully tickles him, or pinning him down on the couch and making him laugh with cute little pokes while Zhongli stares at them plainly. It’s always Childe extending his hand to him like “wanna join?” or even Aether just holding up his hand “help?”
- Zhongli ‘joining’ at times could mean he merely holds down Aether’s arms while Childe tickles him and makes him squeal and giggle adorably as he squirms under them.
- Or… he listens to Aether and simply starts tickling Childe as Aether’s revenge - though it’s a bit clumsy and uncomfortable especially if Childe was on top of him - Aether’s now suffocating beneath him while Childe flails and barks out hysterical laughs, nearly breaking his lovers’ noses.
- Zhongli ‘joining’ could also mean Aether and Childe just both get up and pounce on him. They have yet to find a way to really make him laugh a lot, but Zhongli is mainly sensitive to tickles on his ears or under his arms. Also his neck and under his chin, and a specific spot on his hip.
- He doesn’t really laugh though, his sounds are more lik “HA! Hngnghgh! UUhhn..” but it’s already enjoyable enough since he is smiling like he never does. Whenever the spot on his hip is tickled he also mades cute gasping noises.
- Zhongli is pretty awkward with tickling and affection in general. He never does it on his own. In the beginning of their relationship he doesn’t even understand it and merely states “It is pointless and meaningless,” since he just didn’t see why you would force another person to laugh. Still, he appears to be quite good at it. He knows exactly how to turn both Aether and Childe into chaotic ticklish messes and enjoys it more and more.
- Sometimes Childe simply plops their boyfriend Aether in Zhongli’s lap and is like “kay, your turn. Wreck the guy pls he deserves it and my fingers are tired,” and Zhongli is just like uhh fine, and he does it.
- Other times, Childe simply plops himself down in Zhongli’s lap, smirking with his arms behind his head and inviting him like “Come on, give it your best shot~” because Zhongli is the only one in their relationship who can really make him laugh uncontrollably and he loves it. He has average tickle spots everywhere and wants his lovers to find them.
- Aether is just too sweet. He’s actually really mischievous and sassy, he loves to joke, tease his boyfriends, and even tickle them lightly to make them giggle, but it’s never really ruthless. Not like Childe who adores wrecking his lovers, and who also loves when they do it to him. Zhongli is not necessarily ruthless but he never knows when is a good time to stop, so he can practically tickle Aether of Childe to death without realizing.
- When Aether and Childe do find the perfect strategy to make Zhongli laugh for real (psst: raspberries on his stomach and in his neck, actually everywhere!) they are astonished at first.
- Zhongli has this deep and charming laugh, but the longer they go on the more it cracks. Childe calls Zhongli’s laugh ‘art’ and even though it always sounds like he’s mocking him, he means it.
- Aether on the other hand is just an adorable mess who has this squeaky laugh that makes both Childe and Zhongli turn soft. They are often overwhelmed with fondness at the sight of his cute blushy face and his sweet giggles, which is also why - with time - Zhongli grows into the idea of stupid tickle fights.
- After the discovery of how raspberries turn Zhongli weak, Aether and Childe will always make random puns or tease him with the fruit, or even threaten him with raspberries like– don’t forget your purse this time or we might treat you to some lovely raspberries when we’re back~ and such. It is the way to make Zhongli blush, even his ears will turn red.
- Even though he can be very accepting, Aether has the tendency to pout whenever Childe and Zhongli shower each other with affection and kisses. He’s not necessarily jealous, but he just doesn’t like to be left out, so they often pull him down in between them attack him with tickly nibbles and kisses all over which makes him giggle (well, Childe mostly. Zhongli will often just ruffle his hair and maybe kiss just his forehead).
That’s it for this time, although I could think of a looot more hehe. Thnx for coming to my trash talk.
