" Okay, hear me out. " Those four words had never led anywhere good.

Five minutes earlier, Spoke had said them with the confidence of someone who had already decided his idea was genius long before anyone else had the chance to disagree.

Now, somehow, it had become a project. A large one.

Spoke had spent the better part of the afternoon enthusiastically explaining how the structure they were building would help them in the future. Whether it was a trap, an upgrade, or some grand invention seemed to change every ten minutes, but his confidence never wavered. Materials were hauled back and forth, measurements were made, remade, and occasionally ignored entirely.

Hours slipped by.

Despite the questionable planning process, the build was nearly complete.

Nearly.

The final piece was a single screw. Unfortunately, that screw chose the worst possible moment to escape.

It slipped from Spoke's hand and disappeared into a narrow opening on the structure. For a moment, everything fell silent.

Then Spoke shrugged, " I'll reach for it. "

Without much hesitation, he crouched and squeezed into the opening and stretched toward the missing screw. His upper body was the one inside and his lower was out (yes, i meant the part of the waist until yeah)

After a bit of maneuvering, his hand closed around it.

Success.

The screw was retrieved, though there was only one problem. When Spoke tried to pull himself back out, he stopped. The opening had apparently decided it liked him there, Spoke was stuck. His other part of the body was in the hole, while his ass and legs were out. Great.

Mapicc just stared, eyeing on the perfectly shaped ass and wanting to squeeze it and—

“ Yo, Mapicc, help me out here??? ” Spoke instantly broke the silence, squirming a bit. Mapicc didn't respond, a faint pink hue coloring his cheeks.

“ Uh, Mapicc?? ” Spoke repeated, now trying to actually get out. But looks like he wasn't going to get out anytime soon without anyone helping him, and it didn't seem like Mapicc was going to actually help him, knowing the demon would use this situation to his own advantage and against Spoke's will.
