First Time Babysitting (M/mmff)

[Detective-Gag]

The following was a story suggestion from the “Story Requests For Everyone” forum:



Eric had his gaze focused intently at the TV screen, hands gripping the game controller, as he proceeded through a particularly harrowing level of the First-Person Shooter video game he’d purchased.

His attention, however, was interrupted by loud banging noises, in rapid succession, coming from the floor above him.

“Hey!” Eric shouted. “What’s going on up there!?”

“Nothing!” yelled his younger sister, Laura, from upstairs. This answer was immediately followed by the sound of giggling & laughter from his other siblings, followed by even more loud “thumps!” through the ceiling.

Eric paused the game and sighed. He’d been assigned by his parents to look after his brothers & sisters while they took the afternoon off; a much-needed break for them, from the wild & energetic nature of his siblings.

Eric had intended to let his brothers & sisters do as they pleased…so long as they behaved themselves…while he tried to enjoy the afternoon as best he could. Except now, whatever games they were up to were starting to shake the house.

Eric set the game controller down on the living room table, and trudged up the stairs to where they were playing. Hearing them inside his younger brothers’ room, Eric walked inside to see both David & Andrew jumping up & down on the bed, brandishing two NERF pistols, while his two sisters Laura & Karly were running around the room, screaming & laughing.

“Alright!” Eric said as he entered the room. “What’s with the volume!?”

“They’re chasing us!” Laura accused, pointing at the two younger brothers.

“We’re robbing them!” declared Andrew, who rolled off the bed and pointed his NERF gun at the girls.

“I can hear you all the way downstairs,” Eric said.

“Well, they won’t stop running,” David explained, sliding off the bed as well.

“Don’t blame us!” Karly shot back at him.

Eric rubbed the bridge of his nose. “Well, are you finished running around, now?” he asked.

“But we haven’t finished robbing them!” Andrew complained.

Eric raised an eyebrow. “What does that even mean?”

“It’s part of the game,” David elaborated. “We’re bank robbers, and we’re robbing the bank where Laura and Karly work.”

“And so far; they’re not doing a very good job,” Laura snickered. “Because they can’t catch us.”

“Well, the chase is over,” Eric said sternly. “Time to dial back the noise.”

“But we’re not finished with the game yet!” said Karly.

“Yeah! We still gotta collect the loot!” added Andrew.

Eric sighed. The moment he left the room, the four of them would start up the racket again. Unless…

“Fine,” Eric finally answered. “But we’re wrapping the game up now.” He looked over at his two sisters. “You two: you just got caught by the robbers.”

“Hey, that’s not fair!”

“Tough,” Eric replied. He turned to the two boys. “I’m your boss; so it’s time to empty the bank vault.” He jerked a thumb over at his sisters. “Grab them and make sure they can’t escape.”

Eric saw the faces of both his brothers light up, as they hurried over and stood behind their sisters, pointing their NERF pistols at them. “The jig is up!” David said, aiming the foam dart at Laura.

“No funny stuff,” warned Andrew towards Karly.

The two sisters raised their hands, stifling their laughter. “You two won’t get away with this!” said Laura.

“Get them inside the vault & keep them quiet,” Eric commanded, opening the closet door on the far side of the room. His brothers prodded their two sisters along with their toy pistols, the girls’ hands in the air as they were shepherded into the large walk-in closet serving as the “vault”.

Once inside, David flicked the light on & grabbed a large knapsack and pulled out some coils of rope…props the siblings used in their many games of larceny & action. The boy tossed Andrew one of the bundles of rope, while Eric watched with amusement from the doorway, shaking his head.

“Tie her up!” David told his brother, who pulled Karly’s hands behind her back.

“Don’t you dare do it, you…MMPH!” Laura started to say, before David put a hand over her mouth.

“Quiet, lady!” demanded David in an exaggerated, deep voice, while Laura let out a muffled laugh from beneath his hand.

Meanwhile, Eric watched as Andrew tied Karly’s wrists behind her back, then her arms to her sides, all while Karly gleefully feigned the role of a hostage. Then, once her arms were secure, Andrew sat their sister down on the carpet, and tied her ankles together. Knowing how well his younger brothers could tie a knot, Eric knew that Karly wouldn’t be getting free any time soon.

“Oof,” Karly laughed, as she tested the ropes. “You two fiends let us go!”

“Now get her!” Andrew said to David, who took his hand off Laura’s mouth and grabbed his own bundle of rope.

“The cops are going to get both of you!” Laura immediately said when she could speak, as David tied her wrists together behind her.

“Ugh, I’m tired of listening to them yell!” Andrew complained, unaware that Eric felt very much the same at that point. “Let’s gag them!”

Eric had very much expected the suggestion, as both his sisters yelled “No!” in unison. It wasn’t the first time their games had ended with at least half of them bound & gagged.

Which was fine with him, Eric thought to himself. It’d make the rest of the evening go by more peacefully.

The boys produced some colored bandanas from further inside the closet. Grinning wickedly, Andrew knelt down behind where Kathy sat, and dangled a green bandana down over her face.

“What are you…! GMPH!”

Kathy let out a grunt as the youngest brother tightened the gag over her mouth, and tied the knot behind her head. Meanwhile, David finished tying Laura’s arms and legs, and then snagged a blue bandana from the pile.

“You’ll never get away with this!” cried Laura dramatically. “Don’t you gag me, you…! HMPH!”

David cut off his sister’s tirade, gagging her with the blue bandana before sitting her down on the floor next to her captured sister. The two of them wriggled against their bindings, bobbing their heads up and down as they mumbled through their gags.

“Got ‘em!” Andrew shouted in triumph, high-fiving his brother while the two girls fumed.

“What now?” David asked, as the two boys looked down at their captives.

“Now, you both go back to your hideout,” Eric cut in, steering his brothers into the next phase. “We have to count the money.”

“What about them?” David asked, pointing at their struggling sisters.

“Mmph! MMPH!”

“Lmph mm gmph!”

“Lock them inside the vault for the cops to find later,” Eric said, allowing himself to sound like a dastardly villain. He looked down at the girls. “No untying yourselves until the “game” is over, got it?”

The two sisters struggled playfully, but nodded silently as David and Andrew hurried out of the closet with their bag of “loot”. Eric left the light in the closet on, shutting the door, before silently locking them inside.

Two down, Eric thought to himself.

The three brothers then made their way down the stairs, both David & Andrew mirthfully firing off their NERF guns like rabid outlaws. Eric played along, congratulating them both as he guided them down into the basement. Once their, the boys tossed the knapsack of “loot”…actually filled with the ropes & bandanas…onto the floor.

“Now what do we do?” Andrew asked.

Eric turned around, holding a third NERF gun he had snuck out of their bedroom, at his two brothers. “Now I rip you both off & take the money.”

“Betrayal!” yelled David, but also laughing.

“Drop the guns,” Eric ordered, and the two boy let the NERF pistols fall softly onto the carpet. Eric then dragged two chairs out from a nearby table to the center of the basement. “Now both of you take a seat.”

Grinning, the two boys marched over to the chairs and sat down, enjoying that their game had taken such a dramatic turn. Eric then took out some rope from the knapsack on the ground and proceeded to tie his brothers’ hands behind the back of the chair, and their ankles & knees together. Finally, he looped the rest of the rope around their torsos, securing them firmly to the chair.

“I can’t believe you double-crossed us!” David exclaimed, wriggling in in chair.

“Yeah!” added Andrew, shifting around next to him.

“Well, I guess you two should have been smarter,” Eric answered back, pulling two bandanas out of the bag. “Now it’s time to keep the two of YOU quiet.”

“We’re going to get you back for this, you hear me…!? MMRMPH!”

David grimaced as Eric pulled the white cloth tightly over his mouth, cutting off his threat. Then when he finished tying the gag in place, he took the red bandana and turned to Andrew.

“Traitor!” his brother cried. “Trai…TRMPH!”

Andrew mumbled as Eric gagged his remaining brother with the red fabric before stepping away to inspect his handiwork. The two boys squirmed against the ropes holding them to the wooden chairs, trying to talk through their gags with angry muffles.

“Now you both remain seated until the cops find you,” Eric said. “And by “cops”, I mean Mom and Dad.”

“YRMPH GMMPHING TM RGRMPH THMPH!”

“WRM GMMUH GMPH YMPH!”

Both of Eric’s brother shouted their muffled threats through the bandanas covering their mouths.

“Just keep those gags on until then; and maybe I’ll untie you sooner,” Eric suggested, before leaving the two tied brothers alone to struggle in the basement as he went back upstairs.

Satisfied, Eric plopped back down on the couch, and picked the game controller back up.

Another hour or two, he thought silently, as he resumed playing his game, with only the occasional muffled sound coming from the room above, and the basement below.
