A/N: This is another fic (well, drabble collection) I wrote a while ago and was yet to post on this site. Again, you may have seen it on my Tumblr (where they were initially posted as part of a tropes writing game) or AO3 already. They're all very silly, so please don't take them seriously. Anyway, I hope you enjoy!
Bound
(Prompt: Handcuffed Together)
When Pascal claimed she lost the key, Richard's initial reaction was to smile. He wouldn't mind being bound to Asbel for the rest of his life, so mere hours would be a piece of cake. In truth, he hoped that Pascal would take longer to replicate the eleth key. Maybe a feel days. Or weeks. Or—
"Richard…" Asbel's sweet voice interrupted his musings.
Smiling, he turned to his friend. "Yes, Asbel?"
"Um… I'm kinda worried about something." He tried scratching his neck with his bound hand, lifting Richard's arm halfway up before he realized his blunder. "Oops, sorry."
"It's fine, Asbel." In truth, Richard would gladly scratch Asbel's neck himself if his friend wished for it. "Anyway, as you were saying…?"
"Ahh, right." He scratched his neck, with his free arm this time. "Well… I really have to pee."
"Oh." Richard blushed. That was the kind of implication he had failed to foresee. "I understand, Asbel. I will turn away while you… ahem… fulfill… your biological needs."
"T-That's not the issue, Richard." Asbel cleared his throat. "You see, I… I use both hands."
"…Oh, Asbel. That's perfectly fine." Richard smiled. "I'm always willing to help my best friend."
