A/N: (2/4) Merry Christmas again, @lovelynim ehehehe

Summary: What's best than to wrap your own Christmas gift?

Words: 1.1k

"T-This isn't... what I had in mind... when the manager asked me to help him wrap Christmas presents—Ah!"

A sharp gasp slipped from Lighter's lips as the same ribbon tangled around his arms, binding his wrists tightly above his head, was now blindfolding him.

The ribbon coiled around his torso like a snake, pinning his shirt in place and leaving his stomach and the gentle curve of his hips exposed, the faint line of his lower ribs peeking out beneath the hem. More ribbon wrapped around his legs, keeping them pressed together and completely immobile. A neat bow sitting right on top of his head.

"You said you didn't know what to give me for Christmas," Wise replied calmly, a grin tugging at his lips as he finished tying the ribbon around Lighter's head. "I'm just helping you."

Lighter's cheeks were already flushed, but Wise's words only made them burn even redder than the ribbon wrapped around his body. To make matters worse, Wise hadn't even bothered to lay him on the bed, he'd left him on the floor, instead, defenseless and utterly exposed.

"M-Manager," Lighter mumbled, his voice trembling slightly as he squirmed, "you're not planning on leaving me like this until Christmas… are you?"

Wise chuckled softly, his eyes gleaming as he admired his handiwork. "And why not? Presents are meant to be opened at Christmas, aren't they?"

Lighter whimpered. "I-I mean, yes, b-but… I'm not exactly… a present…" he insisted, squirming in his bounds. After a heartbeat, he tensed when silence answered him. "M-Manager?"

He couldn't see him, but he could feel him. Could feel the subtle shift in the air. Could hear Wise's soft breathing, and he thought he could even hear the manager's heartbeat, but it probably was his own, drumming in his ears. He tensed instinctively, shoulders pulling against the ribbon around his arms.

"… Manager?" he called again in a small voice, almost a whisper, "you're doing that thing where you don't answer and it's making me nervous."

Wise's fingers hovered just above Lighter's sides. Lighter squirmed slightly, feeling a shiver of anticipation run down his spine. His instincts told him he had to get out of there, his brain screamed that he was in danger, and adrenaline coursed through his body, but he didn't move. Lighter didn't try to escape.

"Relax," Wise said suddenly in a soft voice, but Lighter jumped as if he'd been given an electric shock. He chuckled a little. "I'm just going to make sure this ribbon doesn't come undone and that it lasts until Christmas morning."

Of course, checking meant touching.

Lighter gasped as Wise's fingers traced lightly along his ribs, and laughter exploded out of him even before he could process what was happening. "Manager! You can't—you cahahan't—!"

"Can't I?" Wise retorted with a mischievous smile. "Of course I can. You are the present. My present. I can do whatever I want with what's mine, can't I?"

His fingers skimmed over every sensitive spot as if testing reactions. Acting as if he'd never tickled Lighter before, even though he had often been incapacitated by the little proxy's devastating tickles.

There wasn't much Lighter could do in his current situation besides laugh uncontrollably and beg Wise to stop, but the manager wasn't planning on doing that anytime soon.

While I am nowhere near as prolific as many of the lovely people in this fandom, I do have a running list of WIPs that I have been working on and will be releasing soon. In addition, I tend to write a lot of analyses when shows come out and have new episodes releasing. If any of you are interested in being on a tag list either in general, for my fics specifically, or for my analyses specifically, feel free to comment on this post or hop in my DMs. I promise I’m nice and won’t spam your feeds too often, @freesia-writes and @drafthorsemath can attest to that ;)

💜🪻My shop is now open for preorders🪻💜

I have my 200th Sumeru boys merch, gay people from ZZZ, Xiao gacha, random sunwelt and more!

Preorders end on 10th July and the store will remain open with limited quantities after. Do check it out if you're interested!

ehehe ty for asking 😋

3. Which Batcher would you want to be your BFF (not SO)?: ECHO. I know 100% for a fact we would be BFFs. so much so that I made him my BFF in MLWTBB haha. he reminds me a lot of my sis @jam-n-ham so I think it would only be natural that we get along really well 😁

15. If you had to pick one Batcher who most needs to be given a bouquet of flowers (not who you most want to give it to), who would it be?: OMG I think I have to say Omega for this one. my girl needs some happiness, plus I can totally see her getting into making flower crowns and pressed flowers and stuff like that 🥰

34. What are you using to beat up Nolan? (Chair, a stick, bare hands, etc): this question is hilarious haha. well I think Crosshair had the right idea about just shooting him ROFL. but I would definitely love to just punch his stupid face, repeatedly if I was able to. I also have a go-to “torture” technique where I just… sit on someone until they say “uncle”. being a heavy girl has its benefits sometimes 😜 I’d probably throw the first punch to knock him over, then sit on him while I continue whaling on his face (like the scene in A Christmas Story when Ralphie beats up the bully 😝)
