Takumi was about to reach for the keys, but his hand was held back.
"Shouldn't you be trying to get them off instead of pulling so hard on them?" She asked.
"I wasn't doing it on purpose. And there's a slight problem."
"What?"
She looked up to see that they were both handcuffed to the bed with the same pair.
"How..."
"I remember some parts, but I don't think you want to know."
"It can't be that bad."
"Ok. I remember you riding me then you got a little crazy. I told you to call me daddy, but you slapped me across the face and told me to call you daddy. When I didn't, you turned me around and spanked me until I did. You then said that if I was a good little boy, you'd give me a treat. I have no idea what came after that, but it's probably how we ended up like this."
"Tell me you're joking."
"I wish. And my ankle is also cuffed to the bed."
The keys were on the bedside table and could easily be reached. But only with his cuffed hand because they were on the opposite side of his free hand. He tried to reach for them, but it was no use.
"Can you try shifting more to your left?"
She did it so that he could do the same. But it didn't help, he still couldn't reach them.
"Where are we anyway?" She asked, looking around.
"Not sure."
"Did we seriously have sex in some random person's home? Scratch that, on some random person's bed?"
"Looks that way."
"Talk about shameless. Not to mention, we're stuck here."
"Not exactly, that random person is bound to show up at some point. We just have to wait."
"Great."
"Can't you break your other hand free and then do the same with our restrained hands? I'm sure you have the strength to."
"I can and I would. But these are extra thick handcuffs, so I can't."
She turned her head to the right and saw something that could help.
"Looks like our phones are on the other bedside table. Think you can reach them?"
"Yeah, but you'll need to shift to your right."
She did so, and thankfully, he was able to reach them.
"Mine's dead, and yours is running a little low. Should I? I mean, this is technically a breach of privacy."
"I don't have any porn or weird pics on there if that's what you were worried about. And now's not the time to worry about privacy. The fingerprint scanner works with either of my index fingers."
"Looks like you got a couple of missed calls and messages from the gang." He said after unlocking it.
"Check our location."
"Good news, we're not in some random person's home. Bad news, we're in a love hotel, so that so-called random person definitely isn't going to show up."
"Try calling Keito. He's the only one who'll take this secret with him to the grave."
"Hold on."
"Put him on speaker."
It rang a few times before he picked up.
"Where are you two? Do you have any idea how worried we all were because neither of you would answer your phones?"
"We're fine, and you can lecture us all you want later because right now, we need your help," Twilight said.
"Help with what?"
"What the... Ichiya?"
"We're all here actually," Keito said. "And you're on speakerphone."
"Keito, take me off speakerphone. This is for your ears only."
"Wait a moment. Ok, what did you need help with?"
"We're kinda stuck in an unknown hotel room and have no idea what the room number is. We need you to come here to find that out and ask whoever's at the front desk to send someone up to help."
"Ok, just send me your location, and I'll be there as soon as I can."
"Thanks. Oh, and don't tell the others."
"No problem."
"Well, you heard the dude."
"I already sent it."
"Is there a blanket or something within your reach? I'm not too keen on exhibitionism."
Later…
"How long has it been?" She asked.
"An hour and a half."
"I wonder how far he is."
Just then, the door opened.
"Are you two the ones who need help?" A woman asked, clearly embarrassed.
"Yeah. Could you be so kind as to hand this gentleman those keys, please?"
"Ok," She handed Takumi the keys. "Is there anything else?"
"No, and thanks."
"No problem. And your friend is waiting for you down in the lobby," She closed the door behind her.
Takumi uncuffed them both.
"Well, that was embarrassing," Takumi said.
"No kidding. I won't be letting you cuff me for a while."
They took a shower (separately), got dressed and went downstairs.
"Hey, Keito. Thanks for the rescue," Twilight said.
"Honestly, I was surprised that this was where you were."
"Us too. And let's never speak of this."
"Gladly. And it'd be best if you came with me because someone is waiting for you."
"Ok?"
"Toshi?"
"We found this little guy at your door when we went to check on you. That's why we were looking for you." Hansuke said. "Where were you anyway?"
"Trust me, you don't want to know. Toshiro, what are you doing here?"
"Mom and Dad had to go out of town for a few days. The babysitter cancelled last minute, and they couldn't find anyone else. Sora was too busy too."
"Why didn't they call?"
"They did, last night. I think it was around eight or nine. And you said 'Sure, no problem' and then hung up. They were in a rush when they dropped me off."
"I see."
"We're not all going to fit on the bed, so we should get an inflatable mattress before the stores close. Between you and me, I wonder who's going to sleep on it," She said.
"Sounds like my cue."
"I was thinking of rock paper scissors, but ok. Come on, Toshi. Let's make you a snack."
Later that night…
"Are you ok down there?" She asked.
"Yeah. A little lonely though, but ok. How is Toshiro?"
"He was out like a light. I guess he was exhausted."
"It is a pretty long drive, and you fed him so much."
"Well, he kept asking for more, and it's not like I was feeding him junk. And here I was thinking you were just trying to stay alive whenever you complimented my cooking."
"Even if I was, it'd be an acceptable lie."
He kissed the back of her hand.
"Good night."
The next morning…
She snuck up behind Takumi and leaned in closer to his ear.
"Harder, daddy." She whispered.
He nearly fell off the couch.
"You almost gave me a heart attack. That's not something you should randomly whisper into a guy's ear."
"I know. I just wanted to mess with you."
He got up and walked towards her with a hungry look in his eyes. She immediately started backing away.
"Aww, c'mon. I won't try anything," He gave her an innocent smile.
She kept backing away until her back met the wall. He had her trapped.
"But I was serious about not randomly whispering something like that into a guy's ear," He tucked her hair behind her ear. "Because you're just asking for it. And that shirt isn't helping at all. Now you have to take responsibility for the fire you started and put it out."
"Hold up, what happened to "I won't try anything"?"
"It doesn't count as trying if I've already done this before. Successfully."
"But Toshi will wake up."
"Not if you stay quiet."
He was about to attack her neck when she said something that stopped him.
"Toshi, you're up already?"
He turned around only to find that Toshiro wasn't there, and neither was Twilight when he turned back.
While making breakfast together, Takumi pulled out a spatula and sneakily got behind Twilight. He then bent it back a little and released it, causing it to spank her ass. She drew in a sharp breath.
"What was that for?"
"I was messing with you. Now we're even, but I still need to get back at you for running away earlier."
"What?"
"It's only fair."
"Not while Toshi's around."
Later…
She had just walked into the kitchen when...
"Gotcha." He wrapped his arms around her. "Now, you can't escape."
"Hey."
He then threw her over his shoulder and took her to their room. Once he got there, he put her on the mattress.
"You said you wouldn't be letting me cuff you for a while, but you didn't say anything about tying you. Toshiro's taking a nap in the living room, and he'll stay that way as long as you keep it down."
