“I’m not MacGyver, you know.” Merlin grumbled, pulling on the handcuffs. “It’s not like I can just magic up a hairpin and presto, I’m free.”
Arthur, git that he was, grinned. “If a police officer can’t get out of his own cuffs, he’s not fit for service. All part of the training, Merlin.”
“And his fellow officer sitting naked on top of him while he tries to escape?”
“A distraction. Makes things harder.” Arthur wiggled his bits, and yes, Merlin did get harder.
A moment later, click, and it was Arthur handcuffed to the bed.
MacGyver would have been proud.
