"Iorin~" you whined, "Let's take a break...I feel like my head's gonna explode." you pouted.

"It has been only thirty minutes since we started. Come on I know you got this." Iori insisted.

You were Iori's classmate even before he got scouted by Takanashi Production. Even if at first you two did not talk much, you really admired him not only for his looks but also for his talent and his intelligence. Despite his tight schedule being an idol, he manages to balance his time for his work and studies and still even has time for his Student Council duties. When you confessed to him, he took it positively, much to your surprise. After all you were complete opposites. You are just a regular girl. You were not as talented nor as smart as him. But what you did not know (since he is too tsundere to admit it) was Iori was actually attracted to the way you easily make friends with other people, your natural charm and kindness.

You failed the previous test so you had to take remedial exams. Since coincidentally Iori had a day-off, he volunteered to tutor you. You were thankful for his help but you feel like you were burdening him.

Noticing that you were struggling, he turned his pace down. Even though you were making a lot of mistakes, he patiently corrects you. You were touched by what he was doing for you so you tried your best.

You were nervous as hell as he was checking your work. Iori finally puts down his pen and looks at you intently.

"Perfect score, [Name]." He gave you a warm smile as he returned the paper to you.

"Really? Yay! I did it!" You excitedly wrapped your arms around Iori in a hug. "Thank you Iorin for teaching me. I know I am not a fast learner but you were really patient to me."

He returned the hug and softly ruffled your hair. "I told you I know you can do it."

"I know! I want to give you something. A token of gratitude for tutoring me. What would you like Iorin?"

"I just want you to pass your exam. That's all."

You now released him fron your embrace. "But I insist. You spent your day-off teaching me when you could have just relaxed and took a rest."

"What kind of boyfriend I am if I will not even spend time to help you? Besides I liked what I did today. For now I just want you to focus on passing the test."

"But now I'm bothered not returning the favor to you. Just let me give you something please."

"...Fine. I'll accept anything you will give me." Knowing that no one can stop you once you put your mind into something, Iori gave up.

"...Hmm... I now know what to give you. Just sit still there."

You stood up and went behind him. You put your hands on his shoulders and gently squeezed them.

"[Name]—" Iori let out a suppressed gasp.

You continued to squeeze his shoulders then trailed your fingers to the base of his neck.

Iori burst out laughing, much to your surprise.

Izumi Iori is ticklish.

The cool and stoic Izumi Iori of Idolish7 is ticklish.

Amused by his reaction, because you rarely hear him laugh like that you ran your fingers to his nape, across his back then to his sides.

"S-Stop...[N-Name]...I-I c-can't..." Iori stuttered between giggles. He was now rolling around trying to free himself from your tickles.

"I actually thought of giving you a massage but I think you like tickles better. You're so cute Iorin~" you teased as you began to tickle him harder.

"I-I'm not cuteee...Ahahaha...s-stop...[Name]..." Iori protested between chuckles.

When you thought you had the upper hand as you had positioned yourself on top of Iori while you continued to tickle him, he managed to reverse the situation. Iori grabbed you and rolled to put you underneath him. [A/N: I suck at describing motions 😭]

"Now you've really done it [Name]..." Iori trailed off in a serious tone, and that was the time you know you're doomed.

"Sorry Iorin but you were totally cute being tickled like that." You tried to laugh off the pinch you're about to face.

"Now that you have found the ticklish parts of my body..." Iori gave you a mischievous smirk,

"How about I find yours?" he whispered seductively on your ear.

[A/N: My first crush in I7 😂 I find his tsundereness very adorable especially the way he hides the fact that he likes cute things. His seiyuu (Masuda Toshiki) is really cute too.]
