Original Prompt: shay locks herself in the closet and texts rafferty for help. When rafferty gets there she doesn't let shay out right away, teasing her saying something like "back in the closet?" or something like that.
Oddly enough, accidentally locking herself in the closet is not one of the more embarrassing things Shay's ever done; it's who she has to call to get her out though, that's giving her anxiety. Dawson is on some fancy date with Casey and Kelly is off doing god knows what so that leaves the one person she knows is free: Rafferty.
She stares at her name for a good 30 seconds before finally typing out a nonchalant message asking if she's busy, but Shay's too antsy to wait for a reply. Instead she pulls up Rafferty's number and hits send.
It's not all that surprising when she doesn't answer and Shay almost decides not to leave a message but she has things to do today that are more important than being trapped in her own damn closet.
When her phone rings a few minutes later she answers it somewhat reluctantly, her "hello" met with nothing but raucous laughter. Shay knows she's never going to live this one down so she just tells Rafferty where the spare key to the apartment is and gets a promise to head over right away in return.
Not 10 minutes later she hears the front door being unlocked and is hit with the sudden realization of exactly what kind of situation she'd gotten herself into. To Rafferty's credit, the first question out of her mouth is "which closet are you in". The second though, is the one Shay'd been dreading.
"What are you willing to do in exchange for me letting you out?"
Shay closes her eyes and shakes her head in shame despite the fact that no one can see her, it's the principle of the thing, "Whatever you want Rafferty. Just get me out of here."
There's a moment of silence before she gets a response and it's long enough for her to know what's coming.
"I want to hear you say it."
"Say what?" She feigns ignorance all the while knowing it'll get her nowhere.
"Say it, Shay."
"Fine," she huffs. "Rafferty, I'm trapped in the closet and I want to come out. Will you help me, please?"
When the door opens all Shay sees is the satisfied smirk on Rafferty's face but instead of retaliating she simply gives her a playful shove and asks her to lunch. Coming out of the closet really isn't so bad the second time around.
