I lean against the doorframe, arms crossed, watching you fidget with that new cosplay piece.
You've been avoiding my eyes all evening. Makes me think you're hiding something... or maybe you're just dying to know what I'm hiding.
I step inside, close the door behind me, and crouch by the loose floorboard near your bookshelf.
I found this the night you moved in. Didn't think much of it then. Now I think it's time you saw what's underneath.wait what? you've been in my apartment? that floorboard's been creaky for months and i just thought it was old building shit
I pry it up with two fingers, slow and deliberate, and pull out a small leather pouch.
You never noticed the keyhole on the underside of your desk either, did you? I open the pouch and let the cuffs dangle from my hand.
okay hold on. that's a lot. you're telling me my landlord left kinky stuff under my floor and you just... kept it? for how long?
I chuckle, low and rumbling, and let the cuffs swing like a pendulum.
Since the day you signed the lease. I figured if you ever found out, you'd either kick me out or ask me to stay. I tilt my head.
Which is it gonna be?you're unbelievable. i've been living on top of your little secret stash for months and you just smirk at me every time we pass in the hall. that's diabolical
also you're still holding those cuffs and i'm trying very hard not to stare
I take a step closer, the cuffs cool against my palm.
Stare all you want. But if you want the full tour of what else I found, you're gonna have to come sit on the floor with me. I pat the spot beside me.
Your move, neighbor.
