I write so many stories in my less appropriate Google Drive, but never finish them

Almost everything, if you're one of those people who doesn't just skip past the character introductions and *insert in current crush*: for me, the main character in this story, Hamish, is modeled of Tatsumi from Night Raid. I like his fashion sense and he’s absolutely adorable

--
“She even offered to pay you $10 a visit Hamish!â€
“Mum it’s just…â€
“Just what?â€
“Embarassing!†I finished rubbing my temples, since the start of the term holidays, a week ago, Mum had been bugging me about looking after these kids.
“What’s so embarrassing about it! All Katherine asked is that you look in on her son while she’s away and make sure he’s ok, he’s your age! You can play video games!â€
‘That’s why it’s embarrassing.†despite my complaining she didn’t seem to understand why it was embarrassing to be sent as a proxy-parent to a 15 year old’s house.
“Well, whatever it is, it’s final, you’re going to visit right now in fact. This argument has worn me out, so you’re on your own - take your bike.â€
Recognising the finality of Mum’s tone I nodded and headed off to get dressed.
Unlike many guys (and girls) my age, I wasn’t too unhappy with my body. I was slim, with strong brown hair, which kept itself in an unruly but good looking shape, often coming down between my eyebrows. I wasn’t very muscly, but that was my fault, yet abs could still be lightly seen due to my lack of a belly. If there was anything to be annoyed at, I was short, reaching to a little under 160cm (~5â€).
Knowing that I’d have to cycle, I pulled on a slim fitting pair of jeans and appropriate shoes. My favorite white T-Shirt had a few light orange stripes, and fit snugly on my chest, finally I put on a thin black hoody, leaving it unzipped.
The kid I was looking after was named Zac, like me he lived in a dense neighbourhood of detached houses. It wasn’t the American dream - large lawns, symmetrical houses and wide, black roads, but I liked living there. The cobble paths that wound through the neighbourhood were often to thin for cars, but great for bicycles, and even though the houses were a tad small, we could all walk to anywhere of note.
Finding the house, I walked through a little vegetable garden and knocked on the door.
“Who’re you?â€
A blond had appeared at the door, taller with a larger frame than me.
“I’m Hamish, err, I was sent to check you’re ok.â€
He didn’t look happy to see his “babysitter†either.
“Erm, well, you look ok, so I’ll go then?â€
Suddenly his demeanor changed, “No, no. Come in Hamish, do you like coffee?†he swept open the door and vanished back into the house.
Following him I came to a kitchen, connected to the living room. Zac was already preparing a coffee at the table.
“Please. Sit.†Zac smiled, waving towards a couch facing the TV.
Perched on the couch, not really wanting to stay, I turned to face him. “So what you do around here, it seems a bit boring?â€
“Not much really. I’ve got a part time job on the internet for money.â€
“What, like one of those work for home ads?â€
He laughed lightly, “Nah, I do graphic design.â€
Nodding as if I understood what that entailed, I turned back to idly watch the TV.
A moment later he sat down beside me, setting down two coffees.
“Hey, did my mum happen to mention why you’re ‘checking up on me’?â€
“No.†I grimaced, sipping at my coffee. Coffee wasn’t something I enjoyed.
“Ahh.â€
“Now I need to know. Why am I looking after you?â€
“Should I tell you?†He was grinning, enjoying this.
“Well you see, I was tying myself up.â€
I spat out my coffee, laughing.
“You make up weird stories. Anyway, I should be going home.†I’d never been found of people who make things up, it’s just not fun to talk about something you know is false.
“Why don’t you believe my story?â€
“No sane person would tell someone they’d just met that. Anyway even if it is true, I’d rather not walk in on it.â€
“You won’t.â€
“Don’t get so cocky, I might come at different times.â€
“So you want to catch me like that then.â€
I blushed. I’ve never blushed before. I do not blush. “No. Stop twisting my words. I’m leaving.â€
“Anyway, I wasn’t being so cocky, I plan to stop.â€
“Regretting your lies now?â€
“No, I’ve just found something better to do.â€
“I honestly don’t care.†I said, getting up from the couch and heading back towards the front door. Zac climbed off the couch, as if to see me go.
“You really should.†Smartly, he stepped forward, leading his right foot in front of me, then with he reached out and shoved me. I fell forward into the rug.
I tried to push myself up with my arms, or even turn over, but then he was onto me. I collapsed back onto my chest, my hands trapped underneath me and unable to get up with Zac straddling me from behind.
“How about I tie you up, if you get out you can leave, if not then I must have experience, thus am not lying - and I win.â€
“Gah -- get off me.†I tried to pull myself out from underneath him or at east free my arms.
“Nope.†he pushed his finger around my shoulders and under my neck, tracing it along the front of my chest.
“Fu- let me-†breaking down in hysterics I begged for him to stop.
“Tie up game?â€
To this day I still don’t know what made me open my mouth and gasp “Ye- Yes!â€
