When your hands get stuck together for 24 hours

"Time to bring back our three-step plan and lift it to the next level, Cutie!" Rafayel says with a beaming smile while holding your cuffed hands at the height of your face.

As you both take care of Thomas's daughter for an afternoon, she cuffed you together with some toys. Unfortunately, you can't figure out how to reopen them.

You have a hunch that your fishie isn't even trying to escape your forced proximity, not with the absolute blinding smile he throws at you and how he's wiggling your cuffed wrists with utter joy.

You're cuffed to Thomas instead

"What do you mean? You're cuffed to him?" He puffs out, plush lip turning into that adorable pout you want to kiss away simply.

But unfortunately, you're linked to Thomas by some mysterious toy cuffs that his daughter had put on you both.

Thomas only sighs "It's not that serious, Rafayel."

"Yeah, right. I just melt these things! Don't worry Miss Bodyguard, you shall be set free soon!"

Both of you scream out in panic as he snaps his fingers to create a little flame.

"Huh? What's that, pip-squeak?" comes your boyfriend's confused question as you snap the neon orange colored cuffs around both your wrists.

"You want me to keep me here for the next 24 hours?" purple eyes with that tinge of pink mustering you with glee "Then you better let me make my one-time call, since I'm imprisoned now. Don't want the whole fleet to start a rescue mission for me, right?" As he ruffles your hair, seemingly content with this situation and not even trying to escape.

You're stuck with Gideon instead

"What do you mean you're stuck with Gideon for the next 24 hours?" comes Caleb's perplexed answer through your phone as you called him, that you can't visit him this weekend in Skyhaven.

"Both of you go to your home, I'll be there in 60." And just like this your boyfriend turns into the commanding Colonel of the Farspace Fleet.

"He'd better keep his hands to himself until then..." are the last words you hear before the call is interrupted.

 Simply smirks as he looks down at the blaring pink toy cuffs that the little kid had you both captured in. "Feels familiar, huh?"

And with a gentle pull of his hands at your waist you land in his lap. Your personal menace is not showing any sign of trying to break free from these binds.

"Now you're all mine, kitten." Crimson eyes gleaming with satisfaction and a smug smile tug at his lips.

"What did I do?" Innocent rounded bunny eyes are thrown your way, as you snap some cuffs around Xavier's wrists. The pastel purple fake fur is a stark contrast to the white sweater of your boyfriend.

"I swear, I didn't eat the last piece of cake this time."

As the other snaps around your wrist, you tell him that this is his punishment for going on a solo mission. 24 hours now with you are going to prevent him from doing it again.

"Alright. Guess we're stuck together then." he smiles at you and pulls you with him into the soft bean bag of his apartment. "Time for a nap, since you also didn't sleep last night."

As you closed the blaring pink toy cuffs around his wrists, you didn't know that they were impossible to open without the matching toy key — which unfortunately was in the package that you threw away in the store already.

Zayne only pinched the bridge of his nose as realization dawned on you.

"I'd better call the hospital to let them know, I'm not available today."

And with a resigned sigh he cradles you in his lap as you stutter an excuse — a half-hearted one, but still an excuse and an offer to order a second package for a key via express delivery.

"It's alright. However, next time, check the package before you throw it away..."
