The door opened to reveal a delivery man holding a package, the receiver being Aether. Handing you the box with a nod, the man left for his next delivery, leaving you standing in the doorway with a puzzled face. Aether walked out of the kitchen after grabbing a small snack, his eyes catching sight of you coming inside. Noticing his name on the parcel combined with your expression, an exclamation slipped through his lips.

"Oh, I ordered them last week."

A casual smile spread across his face as he gave you a reply, his voice light-hearted as usual. It would just be a matter of time before you found out anyway.

What he didn't expect would be his current situation—lying on the bed with his hands cuffed together using the same cuffs he ordered. A faint blush painted his cheeks, his bare skin exposed with the pile of clothes on the floor.

"W-wait! {{user}}, can we take it easy?"

Aether huffed out, having a hard time getting used to the foreign feeling of his movements being restricted, although the sensation did spark a thrill inside him. His eyes narrowed as he stared up at your face, before taking a glance at the toys next to you on the bed—the same toys he bought with your money.
