It is Saturday, and you just saw your parents off, as they went on their way to a trip, until Sunday evening. It is $hours:$minutes p.m.
You are $name, a 15 year old teenaged boy.
With the weekend here, and your parents gone, you decide to have a nice, lazy day, watching [[Netflix->Netflix]] on the bed in your room, while eating [[junk food->Junk Food]]. But the peace doesn't last long. Soon, the door to your room is opened. Your [[brother->Finn]], Finn, is looking at you, showing his meanest grin, holding a roll of duct tape in his hand.
What do you do?
* There is nothing to be done. [[You accept your fate.->Acceptance]] <br><br>
* Your brother is a reasonable person. Maybe you can [[talk this out.->Talking]] <br><br>
* You got some tips, on how to defend yourself. There is no way, that you will spend yet another weekend tied and gagged. It's time to [[fight back.->Fight]] <br><br>
* You know that fighitng is futile, but you also don't want to spend another day tied up. You decide to [[run away.->Flight]](set: $name to "")

(go-to: "Introduction")A full bag of paprica chips, a bottle of coke and a two chocolate bars. You normaly don't eat stuff like this, and save what you have for lazy days.
There are also two oranges and some apple slices. You aren't a complete slob, even on lazy days.
[[Return to previous page->Introduction]] You heard about the show Heartstopper, and decided to watch the whole thing today. According to your friend Jake, it was one of the most adorable things he had ever seen.
[[Return to previous page->Introduction]] (if: $name is "Finn")
[Your parents always had a weird sense of humour, especially when it comes to names.]
You two have a good relationship, generally. But whenever your parents are gone, your brother likes to make sure that "you don't get into trouble".
[[Return to previous page->Introduction]] You sit up, while rolling your eyes. "Just get it over with."
Satisfied, your brother uses the tape to tie your hands behind your back. It is not particularly uncomfortable, you just can't get them in front of you.
"Nice of you, to cooperate. For being a good, little brother, I let you keep watching your show", he says, while wrapping more tape around your lower legs.
This certainly is nicer than the other times. Considering your efforts to get away from this ordeal never worked out, it is probably the best way of dealing with it.
"Maybe I don't even need to gag you?"
* Thank god! Not even a gag. [[Agree with Finn->Ask for no gag]] <br><br>
* That would be nice. Hopefully Finn doesn't change his mind. [[You wait->Acceptance again]] <br><br>
* This would feel kind-of wrong. [[Tease Finn->Asking for a gag]]"Come on, bro, I'm not going to do anything. Just hanging around in my room and watch Netflix. Can't you leave me alone, and do your thing?"
You hopefully look at your brother, waiting for his response. You sigh, when he starts laughing.
"Nope. I need to make absolutely sure, that I will have peace and quite from you."
Well, that didn't work. What else do you want to try?
* There is nothing to be done. [[You accept your fate.->Acceptance]] <br><br>
* You got some tips, on how to defend yourself. There is no way, that you will spend yet another weekend tied and gagged. It's time to [[fight back.->Fight]] <br><br>
* You know that fighitng is futile, but you also don't want to spend another day tied up. You decide to [[run away.->Flight]]You get up from the bed, your hands formed into fists. "Get out of my room. You are not tying me up, got it?"
Finn just laughs at you. "Yeah, right, we both know who the stronger one is. Playfully, yet threatening, he comes closer.
* This is your chance! You use the element of surprise, and [[rush at him->Losing the Fight]].<br><br>
* Unsure how to actually attack him, you stand still, your arms raised. You [[wait for an opening to attack->Winning the Fight]].Your room isn't too spacetious, but there might be enough time to dodge your brother and get out. You sit up, letting him come to you, before grabbing your blanket at throwing it into his direction.
It is not much of a surprise, but it is enough to buy you the precious seconds to avoid him, and run outside the room.
But you didn't buy yourself a lot of time. Finn is directly behind you, and when you get to the next, closed door, he grabs you. You desperately try to escape, but it is already too late.
"It's time, little bro", he says, glee in his voice.
You gulp. You know what is coming, and you don't like it, at all.
[[Ending 3->Ending 3 - Total Captivity]]"Yeah, that would be nice. I promise to be good, ok?"
Finn looks at you, thinking about it. But in the end, he shakes his head.
"Nah, what am I thinking. But I'll make it simple."
As promised, he only wraps the tape a few times around your head. It is really more for show, making it clear who is the boss here.
After being done, he looks down on you, smiling. "I'm glad you finally decided to accept my rules. See, it isn't that bad, if you just go along with it."
You grunt a bit into your gag, just waiting to be left alone again. And, soon enough, your brother leaves, and you can continue to watch your show.
[[Ending 1->Ending 1 - Light and Simple]]You don't utter a single word, as Finn considers his option. After some time, he sighs.
"Man, this is boring, if you don't put up a fight. Whatever, just watch your show."
And with that, you are left alone.
[[Ending 1->Ending 1 - Light and Simple]]"I knew you were lazy, but that you don't even want to put in the energy to bully me effectively, you can just give up on life."
Finn watches you in shock, probably not expecting you to talk that way. Normally, you DO insult him, but not in a way that critizices his skills in tying you up.
"Well, if you insist...", he says, his face slightly lighting up with a smile.
He grabs a pair of clean sneaker socks from your closet, and starts to approach you. You resist, knowing and enjoying the fact, that it will not help you in avoiding your mouth getting stuffed.
Soon enough, the socks are in, and a few rounds of tape prevent them from getting out again. You grunt, enjoying the feeling of helplessness.
Finn grins, enjoying the sight of you wriggling around.
* This is nice. Time to continue your show. You [[wait for your brother to go->Ending 1 - Light and Simple]] <br><br>
* Lame, these bonds are way too simple. Act like you [[try to break free->Keep on fighting]]The rest of your weekend doesn't hold any surprises. Your brother looks for you from time to time, making sure you are well. Due to the light way you are tied up, it is no problem to switch to another show, after you are done.
It is a decent weekend. Could have certainly been worse.
[[Restart?->Introduction]]You continue your struggle, tugging hard on the tape holding your hands. It has to be clear to your brother, that you WILL get out, as soon as he left.
Finn, grinning, gets the idea. "Oh, that's how it is. Trying to escape, huh? Well, can't let you do that."
Delighted, you wait for the things to come.
[[Ending 2->Ending 2 - Brotherly Bonding]]You find yourself in a cocoon of tape. There is only a small hole for your nose, letting you breathe, plus another part to let you see outside of your prison. But every other part of your body is hidden behind a wall of silver.
Finn has positioned you next to him, in the living room, asking you regularly if everything is all right. You nod every time. You are in heaven. No matter how hard you try, you can't do more than wiggle your whole body around.
Your brother had planned to invite some friends, but having you to play with, he reconsidered it. Instead, you watch TV together, while he teases you, and even tortures you a bit, by closing your nose shut for a few seconds here and there.
Also, you talk. Well, he does, you can only grunt, but you can't remember, when he actually opened up to you like that.
He even tries different ways of tying you up, after you need to go to the bathroom. You are both a bit sad, when your parents return, and he has to free you for good. But you know already, how you will spend the next time, your parents are gone.
It was a great weekend, one of the best both of you had in months.
[[Restart?->Introduction]]Your brother, being bigger and stronger than you, has no problem with defending himself against your attack. Soon, you find yourself lying on the floor, your hands being pulled behind your back. Struggling only extends the time, until your hands are stuck.
"Stupid $name, you know that you have no chance against me."
You still don't want to admit defeat, but the battle is over. With your hands useless, and you unable to get up (Finn is sitting on your back), no way of defence is left for you.
"Stop being such a jerk! Just leave me alone!"
Finn just laughs gleefully about your impotant rage. "I'm afraid, I have to punish you, little brother. Maybe, one day, you will understand your place."
[[Ending 3->Ending 3 - Total Captivity]]Self-assured as your brother is, he does not look on the floor while coming closer. As a result, he overlooks the cable, that hangs slightly above the ground, connecting your PC to a power outlet.
You don't say a word, but your hopes come true: He is too fast, gets caught up in the cable and soon lies on the floor, still a bit numb from the fall. The roll of duct tape lies a bit behind you.
This is your chance!
* You are helpless without a tool. [[Grab the tape first.->Get the Tape]]<br><br>
* Getting the tape gives your brother time to recover. [[Attack him now.->Attack Finn]]Even after what feels like an eternity, you still haven't gotten accustomed to the taste of dirty socks in your mouths. Not much you can do about it, the disgusting fabric is everywhere, your cheeks bulging.
No matter how hard you try, you are incapable of opening your mouth at all, to push the stuff outside. Your whole head, like the rest of your body, is wrapped in tape. Not even your toes are visible, anymore. Only a little opening can be seen, so you can at least breath through your nose.
Not that this is an enjoyable sensation. Finn has tied one of his sport shoes to that part of your face, making every breath another bit of torture. And with your other senses useless, your focus on the awful smell and taste is all the more pronounced.
But this isn't even the worst thing. Your brother forced you to drink a bottle of water, before closing up your mouth. And for quite some time now, the pressure was constantly on. You struggle desperately, to move the weight around, but it is unclear to you how much longer you have to wait, before you can release yourself.
One thing was for certain: Next time, you would just accept your fate. You never want to experience this torture again. Even if this wouldn't go on for the whole weekend, it would definitely be the worst weekend, you had in a long time.
[[Restart?->Introduction]]Turning you back and grabbing the tape gives your brother important seconds. As you turn back around, he is already getting up again. You try to jump him, but it is already too late.
Soon, you lie on your back, with Finn starting to tie your hands behind your back. After you fought him, you can feel some extra joy in every movement.
"Oh, I have something special planned for you, little brother. It will be fun, I promise."
You gulp. This doesn't sound good. At all.
[[Ending 3->Ending 3 - Total Captivity]]You use the handful of seconds, while Finn is confused. To increase his disorientation, you pull the back of his sweater over his head and tug it under his chin, in front. While he tries to get up, you also pull the button-up shirt underneath the sweater up, over his head, this time the front and back.
Hopefully, this will give you enough time. You jump towards the duct tape, get right back to Finn, and push yourself into him. Unable to see anything, he just groans in pain, and is unable to stop you from pushing him down again.
It is a tough fight, but after losing a lot of sweat, Finns hands are finally tied behind his back.
You can see the color draining from his face, as he realizes that he is now defenseless.
[[Ending 4->Ending 4 - Victory]]You enjoy a nice, calm Saturday, without any disturbances. Half your chips are already gone, as is one of the chocolate bars. Heartstopper was as cute, as your friend said.
A whimper draws your attention towards the sleeping bag in the corner of your room. Your face lights up, you can't help but grin.
Maybe you should feel bad for what you did. But then, your brother wanted to do something similar to you.
Well, maybe he wouldn't have completely mummified you, leaving only a whole for the nose. Maybe he wouldn't have stuffed two dirty socks into your mouth. Maybe he wouldn't have tied his stinking sports shoe onto your nose. Maybe he wouldn't have also stuffed you inside a sleeping bag.
You shake your head. Of course, he would have. But he wouldn't have been so mean, to let you drink a bottle of water, before tying you up.
This was the best weekend. Simply because you now had pictures that would make sure, you would never get tied up by Finn again.
