First of all, this is a follow-up on my last story, Brotherly Kidnapping, which gives more detailed character descriptions and explains things the knowledge of which is taken for granted in this story, so that should be read before this.
Once again Ryan and Noah had been required to look after Ryan's parents' house and his younger brother, Axel, as they would be out until roughly midday the next day, and as such it was late evening and the two of them were sitting watching TV. As with the last time they had been in a similar situation, both were 25 and were similar in appearance except for a few differences such as the nature of their muscles and their hair. Both wore black tracksuit bottoms/sweatpants and white socks, and Ryan wore a white t-shirt while Noah wore a dark blue t-shirt.
Ryan picked up a can of cola and, noticing it was empty, walked into the kitchen and returned a few minutes later empty-handed. Noah looked up at him. "We out?" Ryan replied as he walked over to a cupboard and opened it, retrieving it but being careful to hide the contents from Noah. "Yeah. I'm going to run down to the shop and buy some more." He walked back over to Noah and suddenly jumped at him, managing to pull his arms behind his back before he could fully react to what he was doing and tied them together with rope, which was what he had taken from the cupboard, then tied his ankles and turned it into a hogtie with the remaining rope. He nudged Noah with his foot as he stood up, looking down at his quick but reasonable work. "Can't have you making trouble while I'm gone." He nudged Noah until he was facing the TV then walked over to the coat rack and took the wallet out of Noah's jacket and walked out of the door, got into his car and drove away.
Noah waited a few minutes to make sure his friend was gone before attempting to escape. It took him a few minutes, but it was easy. Both of them new they couldn't really tie the other up that well, and Ryan probably had known he would either humour him and stay tied or escape easily, but he felt like making something out of it. He gathered some of his typical supplies and walked upstairs, knowing he had to work fast.
Axel was lying on his bed reading as Noah burst in. Axel was 12, fairly tall and thin. He was wearing black jeans, a dark grey polo shirt and a black hoodie/hooded sweater, as well as being barefoot. They hadn't tied him up since the first time, but when Noah ran into the room hefting a load of rope and tape, it was fairly obvious that he was intending to again. He put his book down on his bedside table, and most probably would have submissively allowed his brother's friend to tie him, were it not for the fact that he started too fast for it to make any difference.
Noah immediately grabbed Axel and turned him over onto his back, then took the rope and bound his wrists tightly. He then took the rest of the rope and bound his ankles, before pulling his bound legs towards his bound arms and taping the two already-bound sets of limbs together. He pulled Axel's hood up over his eyes and taped round it to secure it, then stuffed his own socks, as Axel was wearing none, into his mouth and taped around it, several times, using the hood to avoid taping the hair. Axel let out a muffled "MPH!", to which Noah laughed. "Sorry, kid. Had to be done." He left the hogtied child struggling futilely, and honestly enjoying it, on his bed and returned downstairs to continue watching TV. Ryan would return shortly, and then he would have to continue with his actions.
