"It's finee grandmaster varka." your irritating vice captain says through that dodoco communication device he found and took from jean's office. she allowed it beforehand of course, but this doesn't help you with facing an embarrassing punishment.
You move a bit from the place you're in on the floor but lohen sternly looks at you with the phone still in hand. both his legs are up and planted on your back while you stay in an "all fours" position. despite the humiliating position to be in you're at least grateful that captain lohen's office doors are always shut and the other knights wouldn't enter unless it's about something important.
"Yes, yes. No, they're with me. Uh huh.." he drawls into the phone while his foot nudged your back. You tilt your head to look at his expression only to find that smirk plastered on his face.
Damn it! your arms are starting to hurt!
Lohen finally ends the call and leaves the device on standby before he settles further into his lavish cushioned chair, placing both hands behind his head.
"C'mon quit squirming. It hasn't even been an hour yet." he sighs and plays with his silver dagger that rings around the center of his index finger. You could honestly agree that this punishment is not half as bad with how he usually deals with the other knights but the way his boots dig into the bones of your back and the vulnerable position you're in.. is absolute hell.
"C-captain..? Why was this the first thing that you thought of as punishment?" you groan and shake your head in disbelief. The floor beneath you is suddenly so interesting, you didn't want to look at him in the eye right now.
"Cushions don't talk." he counters and you knew he liked seeing you drop your head shamefully.
"No but.. seriously though.." you tried to adjust yourself but the thought of shimmying your butt is mortifying right now.
"I didn't even know the crates were going to fall!" Lohen tuts and nudged you again with his boot, a hand on his cheek as he mulled something over.
"You didn't know? ha.. my dear knight. You were recklessly stacking crate after crate on top of one another. You almost killed a kid." you flinch when he reminded you of your earlier actions and the consequences that could've in fact occured.
"You're lucky Ursula and Koch were there. The consequences that followed would've been.. much harsher for you," he chuckles and poked the tip of his boot on the soft part of your hip.
"You could've put me on horse shit duty instead." you say bluntly. He stops his movements and nudged you a little harder.
"..and put my favorite knight through hours of cleaning in this summer heat?" he gasps in faux disbelief, "this one seems better, right? you even got air conditioning! you're welcome."
"My back is beginning to hurt.." you mutter and the seconds ticked by felt like eternity.
Lohen hums unbothered and flaps a scroll to read down the lines, "That's the point. But... would it feel better if the punishment came with a reward?"
your ears perked at that and he felt the movements of your spine arch a little under his boots, "...Okay. And the catch?"
Lohen laughs, "You can't be serious. You haven't fulfilled an hour yet."
"How's the breeze down there little knight?"
"It's been an hour and a half ... please I wanna pee."
"Then do it on the floor."
Your eyes widen and immediately tilted your head to stare at him in disbelief, "N-no way!"
Lohen sighs and removes his boots off of your back, stabbing his dagger into the wooden part of the table.
βEhh, times up anyway. Make sure you turn your report in later, or your punishment will last for a week."
He sees you get up hesitantly and smiles when you blink like a scared animal, βgot something to say little knight?β
You shake your head, still aching and embarrassed . βNo sir.β But before you could leave he removes the dagger from the table and throws it opposite to where you stand
"Seems like youβre forgetting something, though."
You freeze in place and turned around slow, "w-what do you mean..?"
Lohenβs smile doesnβt waver even as he points to his cheek, "What do you think [name]?"
Your sweaty hands are bunched around your uniform and you walk forward until you approach his desk. with a slow lean you place a soft kiss on his cheek but your vice captain doesnβt like playing by rules so he turns his head to capture his mouth on yours instead.
after a few lazy nips to your bottom lip to seal the kiss while a solid grip stills your chin knowingly to stare straight into your eyes, "your reward for being good."
