They were sitting on the couch in Julianne and Brooks' home, with Kristy and Damiano as well. Hayley had a long and stressful day at work, she was a pro this season and having fun, but while going through her creative process she got yelled at by her partner for putting her own ideas down before trying them. She didn't want to let him down and wanted to do the best she knew they could. She came home completely drained and feeling ill. They spent time together making and eating dinner together and hanging around on the couch. Derek held Hayley close to him, and she soon put her head in his lap and her feet on Kristy's. Derek started to rub her neck and shoulder that faced up, and parts of her back. She was so emotionally drained by this point that she couldn't even enjoy this moment which doesn't happen often. After a while Kristy and Damiano went home, Derek said he would bring Hayley home after a while. She laid with her stomach facing down on the couch while they watched a movie with Jules and Brooks. Her shirt had ridden up a little bit and Derek put his hand on her bare back.
  "Can you give me back tickles, D?" He chuckled and happily obliged to his stressed girlfriend. For the whole rest of the movie he gave her exactly what she wanted.
  The next day she dreaded rehearsals, which was unusual for her. So Derek decided he would come and sit in, and help her partner learn how to lead and show him some tips to help him. While there he helped her partner a lot, he appreciated his help and Derek just enjoyed being with her. Then it happened , she tried something new, and went through ideas, and her partner got mad, that she wouldn't try. She went to the mirror and leaned on the bar and tried to breathe. Derek went up behind her and sent his hand under her shirt on the small of her back and started to give her "back tickles". He leaned with her trying to face her.
  "Hey, breathe. Don't waste time being stressed. I'm here and can help with the new lifts. I'm here to spot you, just relax and try it." She released a big breathe she held in and nodded her head, she turned and hugged him tight and they got to work. Hayley still wasn't feeling great, like the night before. When they got home she went to Derek's room and changed. She yelled from upstairs to Derek.
  "Hey D, I don't feel all that well." She was feeling queasy and light headed. She heard running up the stairs only seconds later.
  "What's wrong? Why don't you feel good, baby?" She shook her head and started to tear up, she hated this sick feeling. She felt her stomach lurch and she ran to the bathroom. Derek followed her in and knelt beside her, he hated to see her so sick. She had seemed fine all day, and now she felt warm and clammy. He lead her back to bed and sat next to her. He ran his hand over her hair and spoke to her.
  "Is there anything you need before I go get the thermometer?" She thought for a second and nodded.
  "Back tickles?" He turned on the tv to her favorite show, and sat on his side of the bed. She laid her head in his lap and lifted her shirt. He gave her her back tickles until she fell asleep.

(A/N - so I've had terrible writers block, and can't think of prompts so please leave suggestions!!! I thought this was a cute one, I know Derek loves his head Tickles so I made this !)
