Twister
"I do believe that I have seen an advert on the television about this game twister."
"I think that's a good game, can we ask Watari to get it?" I said reaching to the bedside drawer for L's mobile phone. "Hello Watari, hmm, yes, please can you go to the shops and buy the game 'twister', yes if it's not much bother. Thank you Watari." I put the phone back down on the dresser and decided to put my clothing in the empty drawers. Watari was going to bring the board game in about ten minutes. 'He works quick' I thought, 'I feel slightly bad though, treating him like a slave, I should apologise to him...' After I had finished packing away my possessions I dumped my bag in the far corner and sat opposite Ryuzaki on the bed.
"Do the task force know about me?" I asked curious of what was going to take place in a couple of hours.
"No they do not know that I already have a suspect."
"Okay, so should I talk to them and stuff, or just hang back?"
"You may interact with them, but remember that you are still under suspicion and that it will be a while until your name is cleared."
As Watari had said, he had retrieved the game in exactly ten minutes there was a knock at the door. "The game you requested miss Makiba."
"Thank you so much Watari, I am sorry to be such a bother." Watari left the room and I ripped open the box, emptying the contents on the floor. I quickly scanned the instructions; I already knew the general gist of the game from playing it a couple of years back with some school friends. I set up the board and put the die of to the right. Ryuzaki read the instructions.
"This game is rather odd, also have you considered that we are linked at the wrist?"
"Just view it as a higher difficulty level. Do you want to start?"
"Ladies first."
"Ok then you start first, as you are a lady." He looked at me skeptically and then reached for the die and rolled. "Red, right hand. Your turn."
"Yellow, left leg." It carried on like that for a while. We were getting more and more tangled in the chains, it was snaking around my legs and restraining my arms from moving freely, it was uncomfortable but I was not going to lose the game to L.
"I will not give up with this game." Said L sternly, even though he was still monotone you could sense childish emotions peeking through.
"Well, I'm not giving up either." Once more I rolled the dice. I now had my hands either side of L's head, I was towering over him. He was facing upwards supporting himself as though he were a crab. Suddenly his right arm crumpled and he fell, I followed a second after as the chain yanked on my midriff. We stayed on the floor for a while, thinking about how we are going to go about untangling ourselves.
"Well... I won!" I smiled cheekily, regardless of our current situation. We leant against each other, using counterbalance to stand up. It was a little bit too close for comfort for L as we were pressed against each other.
"Do you have the key to the handcuffs?"
"Yes I do in my back jeans pocket."
"Can you get to it?"
"No, as my hands are stuck behind your back, I am unable to get to my back pocket."
"Well I can get it. Which pocket?"
"My left, your right."
I wriggled slightly to move the chains up my arms and free my hands. I extracted the key from his pocket after some searching, the floppy fabric of his baggy jeans kept getting in the way.'Nice ass.' I thought.
"Panda."
"Yes." He said, his complexion was starting to turn pink like a strawberry. I could feel his breath on my face we were so close.
"L, I have to sort of hug you to see where the lock is okay?"
"I guess you will have to. Watari should be here he would sort this out."
"Yes he would sort this out, but if you haven't noticed he is not currently here, and neither of us would be able to pick up the phone to call him as we are unable to use our hands properly." I said reprimanding him for his wishful thinking.
"I will have to hug you."
"If you must, then you must."
I pulled him closer towards me, his breath flittered on my face, it smelt of strawberries. I moved my head to the right and rested it on L's shoulder, craning my neck in order to see my part of the handcuffs. After five minutes I managed to locate the lock and open it. It fell to the floor with a clank. I pulled it up and then started unwinding it from around us. As soon as L was free he jumped back, shivering slightly.
"I am unused to close contact." He said his voice quivering slightly. He then picked up the chain and clipped it back on my wrist.
'Why did she pick such a game? I was skeptical in the first place due to the handcuffs, yet for some reason I still agreed to play that dreaded game. Twister. Never again. Well maybe I may play it once more. It wasn't so uncomfortable pushed up against her, although the chain was digging in my thighs, it was not uncomfortable.'
"What is happening to me...? I should feel weird but I do not." He mumbled under his breath, I barely caught it.
"Why should you feel weird?"
"No reason." He brushed it off and proceeded to retrieve his laptop and check the time. "The task force will be here in eighteen minutes."
"Okay." I shuffled over to the window, pulling the chain till it was taught. The sky was starting to darken.
