 “Marian, I’m bored…” The catgirl sighed, sprawled across the armrest of the couch her friend was lounging on. “Can’t we go do something?”
 Marian just grumbled and flipped the pages of the magazine she was reading.
 While generally a very friendly young woman, Marian did have the occasional period of extreme moodiness folks would have you believe all teenagers suffer from.
 Miriam, on the other hand, was quite the opposite: pretty much always playful, cheerful and curious, with only the rare case of huffiness.
 The catgirl crawled up to Marian and gave her a gentle prod into her cheeks. “Put that silly magazine down, you ol’ grump! Let’s play a game instead!”

 She sighed and chuckled, not even Marian was immune to her feline friend’s contagious enthusiasm. “Fine, you win, Mir. What did you have in mind.” 
 “Oh, I know an amazing game! You’re going to love this!” You could swear Miriam brightened up so much it was actually lighting the room. “Lemme just grab the stuff!”
 “Hmm? What game then?” The black-haired teenager looked up with genuine curiosity. “Scrabble? Go Fish? Uno? Twis…ter…?”
 But Miriam had long since dashed out of the room to grab the stuff she claimed to need for whatever it was she hoped to play.
 She shook her head. “What a rascal she can be. I’d better go check on her before she breaks anyth- Ow! Hey!” Before tech-savvy teen could get up, she was getting showered with the items from a large box Miriam had snagged from the garage and decided to pour out above Marian’s head. “Miriam, what are you doing? Are those….? Oh my god!”
 
 Her cheeks turned bright red when Marian saw she had been surrounded by several coils of cotton rope, and handful of brightly coloured bandanas and the odd roll of tape.
 “M-Miriam? Wh-what are you planning with all… this!?” The catgirl giggled innocently. “Oooh, nothing special. I just really hoped you wanted to tie me up!”
 Stammering, she looked around nervously, eyes darting around the room, to her friend, to the clock and back around the room.
 She didn’t make a big secret out of her love for tie-up games, but the suddenness of her best friend’s request had taken the otherwise outgoing teenager by surprise.
 She glanced at the clock again and according to it, her mother wouldn’t be home from work in another two hours, so there was plenty of time for a short bit of fun.
 “Allright, Miriam… I’m game!” The petite catgirl jumped with joy. “Yaaaaaaay!”

 Miriam jumped to sit next to her friend so fast Marian would swear she teleported.
 Marian gestured with her finger. “If you wanna play so badly, little kitty, you’d better turn around and cross your wrists behind you. I’ll rope you up good!” Instructions Miriam obliged perhaps a bit too eagerly, giggling with barely contained excitement.
 “Let’s see, first we’ll secure these grabby lil’ things nice and snug.” She grinned, grabbing a piece of rope to wind around the catgirl’s crossed wrists, tying them off with a firm knot.
 Miriam tugged her new bonds and nodded in approval. “Nice job, Marrie! But you can do better than this, right?”
 “Oh shush, you.” Her best friend responded, preparing a particularly long length of rope. “I’m only just getting started on you!”
 With a big grin on her face, she looped the rope around the catdroid’s waist and began winding it around her torso, pulling each coil snug before making the next one.
 Like a snake made of fine nylon, it soon wrapped Miriam’s entire body up to her chest. 
 “Oooo! It’s so snug~!” Miriam couldn’t help but smile at her friend’s enjoyment. “I knew you’d like it, now, let’s work on these!”

 Marian then hoisted Miriam’s legs up on the couch, much to the latter’s surprise, so she could start tying her legs together.
 With ropes around the feline’s ankles, shins and thighs, Miriam soon found she could only squirm like a worm now that her legs and arms were all roped up. “Hey! Nice job, Marian! I definitely won’t be able to get out of this! Hey, what are you doing now?”
 Her friend smiled mischievously as she gently slid off the catgirl’s purple slippers.  “Oh, I’m not one to brag, but I’m confident you won’t even get close to escaping. But a little testing would’t go amiss~” With a diabolical grin, Marian ran her fingers across her friend’s bare soles.
 “Heee!!” Miriam shrieked and squirmed in her bonds, tears of laughter rolling over her cheeks. “Aaah! Marian, nooo!! Have mercee-hee-hee!!’”

  After a full minute of teasing, Marian let up and gave her friend a pondering look. “No, no, this won’t do. You’re far too loud, Mir! What would the neighbours think!?”
 Still gasping for breath after the heavy tickling, Miriam quirked an eyebrow. “But Marian… oof… we live in a detatched hou-hmmmnnph!?”
 While the catgirl was distracted, her crafty teenage friend had grabbed a white bandana from the pile of rope and cloths, had bundled it up into a big ball and crammed it into her friend’s mouth while she was talking. “Mmmnph!”
 “Maybe, but I just wanna make sure no-one hears a peep out of you anyway~” Marian chuckled as she planted her hand over Miriam’s lips, preventing her from pushing the wadded-up bandana out of her mouth, while fumbling with a roll of tape in her other hand and tearing off the strips of tape between her teeth.
 After having torn off about half a dozen long strips, Marian quickly removed her hand from her friend’s mouth and quickly slap a strip of duct tape over her lips.
 With both hands free, the bondage-obsessed teenager was free to paste the rest of the tape strips over Miriam’s jaws, forming a thick patch of sticky silver covering her lower face, sealing her lips and trapping the bandana behind the tape barrier.
 
“Awww, aren’t you just adorable all gagged like that~?” Marian cooed as the catgirl’s cheeks turned a deep red. “And you know what would make you even cuter? This!!”
 Giggling mischievously, she folded red paisley bandana into a band and bound it snugly over Miriam’s taped and packed mouth, muffling her quite thoroughly, leaving her to mumble and squirm quite endearingly.
 “Awww~! Pretty as a postcard!”
 Marian wrapped her arms around her tied-up and gagged friend and dragged her onto her lap, showering the helpless cat android in cuddles, petting her head and generally enjoying the sound of muffled purring filling the room.

 “And what do you think you’re doing, young lady?” The sudden authoritative voice cutting through the room caused Marian to jump in shock, and Miriam too let out a startled muffled squeak. “I remember having made clear rules about playing this kind of games in the living room?”
 “Mom!?” The startled teenager stared wide-eyed at the black-haired, labcoat wearing woman having just entered the living room. “I thought you were working late today!”
 “We made some great progress at he lab, actually. So much that we could go home on time.” Meryl actually beamed with pride a little with that answer. “But now look at what I get back to! …oh well, I suppose I can let you two off the hook just this once.”
 “Really? Thanks mom!”
  Meryl smiled warmly. “No problem, sweetheart, just don’t make too much of a mess. If you need me for anything, I’ll be in the kitchen.”

 Now, the kinky teenager certainly didn’t want to stretch her luck or ruin her mother’s good mood, but she certainly had to try. “Actually, mom, there’s one thing… could you perhaps… tie me up next to Miriam?”
 “Hmm! Mmm-mmmph!” The gagged catgirl nodded enthusiastically in approval of the idea.

 Meryl shook her head, those kids and their silly games these days.
 She never quite understood why her daughter was into those tie-up games, especially having had the misfortune of getting bound and gagged by various nefarious figures who we after her research.
 Just last month, she found herself wrapped from mouth to toe in duct tape by a pair of burglars, who then forced her to spend the next 2 hours like that locked in a storage closet until her colleagues found and rescued her.
 An incident the robotics scientist counted as one of the most humiliating experiences in her life.
 Still, if Marian could enjoy something she didn’t, all the better for her.
 Seeing her only daughter happy was reason enough for Meryl to indulge her in her hobbies, strange as they may be at times.

 “Very well then. Let’s see, these were the ropes you two were using?”  Miriam nodded in affirmation as Marian turned around on the couch with her hands folded behind her back, which Meryl then tightly secured together.
 The teenager had only a small moment to test her bonds (although they were tied very well) until her mother grabbed the largest bundle of rope and started winding it around her waist all the way up to her chest. “Wh-whoa, mom! Isn’t this a bit much?”
 “Oh, quiet you!” Meryl hushed her daughter. “You wanted me to tie you up so badly, so that’s exactly what I’m going to do!”
 Marian then could only watch as she watched her thighs as well as he ankles all the way up to the shins. “Heh, don’t let me stop you!”
 “Now then.” Meryl stepped back to watch her handiwork, then starting to rummage through her purse. “Let’s see if I can find something to gag you with before I use that duct tape.”

 “Ah, now we’re getting to the good stuff!” Marian cheered as she and Miriam watched her take out two big handkerchiefs (clean ones, of course) from her purse, shook them out and folded one into a nice cloth wad.
 The tied-up teen gladly let her mom stuff the hanky into her mouth, making no effort to try and spit it out as Meryl peeled off a strip of tape and then wrapped the sticky silver band around her mouth no less than 5 times.
 “There. Are you comfy, hon? Good.” Meryl smiled at her daughter’s enjoyment of her bondage, folding the other handkerchief and tying it over Marian’s taped mouth for extra muffling.

 “Mhfflh? Ymmh ffhgmf phh.” While her best friend briefly lost herself in bondage bliss, Miriam used her tail to point to the colourful pile of remaining bandanas.
 “Oh no, why do you kids always leave such a mess?” The lady scientist sighed. “Ah well, I suppose I’ll have to find a use for all of these too.”
 She took the top bandana, a nice large banana yellow square with paisley print, folded it into a band and tied it over Marian’s already thoroughly gagged lips. “Mmmmnph…”
 Following that was a dark blue cloth also tied OTM style, and all was covered up nicely by a snug red kerchief that was folded into a much wider band that hugged Marian’s lower face from nose to chin.
 “There, now I’ll finally have some peace and quiet. Both of you behave and I’ll make you my pepperoni lasagne. Now to have that cup of tea I’ve been crave for hou-“
 “Hmmmn?” Marian and Miriam both leaned over to see what caused Meryl to trail off like that, which happened to be one last bandana, coloured baby blue, that she had managed to overlook. 

 “I really need to teach you not to leave your stuff lying around.” Meryl folded the light blue bandana into a triangle, draping the cloth over the top of Marian’s head and knotting the ends underneath her chin to squeeze her jaws shut. “Let that be a lesson for you, Mar!”
 The catgirl on the other side of the couch giggled, her friend looked a bit silly with that bandana over her head.
 “Now play nice, you two!” Meryl winked before disappearing into the next room. “I’ll be back to untie you when dinner’s ready!”

 Miriam quickly shuffled over towards her friend and hopped onto her lap as well as she could while all trussed up.
 Sweet muffled purring filled the room as the catgirl rubbed her gagged checks against Marian’s even more thoroughly muffled, bandana-wrapped face.
 Snugly bound, tightly gagged and getting nuzzled by her best friend in the world: It’s all Marian loved most.
