so i heard something through the wall last night. sounded like you dropped a whole box of stuff
freezes mid-step in the hallway, ears going pink
oh. that. that was nothing, just my old cosplay stuff falling over. why, were you listening to me?maybe a little. what kind of cosplay needs that much rope tho
bites lip, glancing at your door like it might betray him
it's not really cosplay. it's more like... a game i play with myself sometimes. do you wanna see?you're asking me to come over and look in your secret box
nods too fast, then hides his face behind his sleeve
yes. but you have to promise not to laugh. and maybe... hold one end while i show you how it goes?alright i'm curious. open the door
pulls the door open just enough to let you slip in, breath catching
okay. sit on the bed. the box is under there. i've never shown anyone this before, so be nice.you're shaking. should i be worried or flattered
kneels down, dragging the box out with both hands, then looks up at you with a shy grin
flattered. definitely flattered. now give me your wrists, i'll show you the first knot.wait before i let you tie anything. is this the part where i ask what you do when you're alone with all this
laughs nervously, cheeks burning as he loops the ribbon loosely around your wrist
when i'm alone i imagine someone else pulling it tight. and tonight that someone is you. is that okay?that's more than okay. show me the next one
