Sanders Sides Tickle Fic Oneshots

Cautious Confession (LAMP/CALM)

Author's Note: Hello! So! Second attempt at a LAMP/CALM tickle fic! This fic is purely me self-projecting how I personally feel about tickling onto Roman. So if this fic isn't your thing, I understand, but this should give you some insight into how I view tickling or a tickle fixation. I had fun writing this fic! Although I'm not super proud of it, it's a fic. LAMP/CALM fics are haaarrrddddd. Also I should point out that this is a College AU. And Roman and Patton are roommates and so are Logan and Virgil. It has more tickle talk than actual tickling, so I hope you can forgive that. Otherwise, please enjoy this fic! :) <3

     It was common knowledge that everyone had their own set of guilty pleasures. Whether it be a sweet tooth or frequent rewatching of a certain television show, everyone had odd quirks that allowed them to escape from the hardships of life. Roman Prince was no exception, as he too had his own guilty pleasure. But, his was a bit more uncommon and perhaps looked down upon. In fact, it was so uncommon he was actually ashamed of what he did to make himself happy. No there was nothing inappropriate involved. All Roman would do after a tough day at school, is sit at his computer, open up YouTube and watch tickle scene after tickle scene. It made him happy as he watched the characters giggle and squeal in glee at the feathers or fingers tickling their various spots, and he'd often fantasize about being in their place.

       But, the reality of tickling in the world that Roman lived in was that not very many people liked it. And those who did kept quiet in fear of extensive torturing and teasing that their peers might exhibit, if the truth were found out. Roman did like those ideas to a degree, however he was more afraid of the judgement he would get from those he loved. Most specifically his three boyfriends: Logan, Patton, and Virgil. Patton was most comfortable with physical touch out of the other two and would give hugs when necessary. Roman had thought about telling him two separate times in their relationship, but when it came to the confession coming out of his lips, the words consistently kept getting stuck in his throat.

       So here he was again, smiling at his computer screen, and clutching his teddy bear wishing that someday he could open up about his fixation and the end result would be his boyfriends accepting him for how he is. He thought about it constantly. How each of his boyfriends might tickle him. Virgil with his cheesy grin, Logan and his decisive finger tips, then Patton with his hugs that could trap and tickle him. He had only ever heard of tickle hugs online and it would be a dream come true to receive one from Patton.

       Roman honestly thought that all his dreams would stay dreams, until one day he came upon a tumblr post with a lot of different ways to come out to people that weren't verbal proclamations. Now everyone knew he was gay, but these situations could directly apply to him wanting to tell others he liked tickling. He couldn't talk about tickling because it was just too much blushing and nervousness for him, but if he could set up one of these situations, his boyfriends might understand without the pain of a verbal explanation!

       It was brilliant, Roman decided, and he surfed through the several different options available on that post. His eyes finally settled on one he thought would work best. Virgil and Logan often use Roman's laptop for projects and recreation because his has the fastest internet connection. The situation Roman chose required him to leave something open on his laptop so when someone else came to use it, they would see whatever the person chose to leave up.

       Roman got to work on what he wanted them to see and about three days later he finished it. There were angry butterflies flying in his tummy when Virgil asked to borrow his laptop again. Roman forced himself to stay calm as he opened the document, then closed the laptop, and handed it to Virgil who was currently standing in the doorway of his college dorm.
