#slaps

Whumpee is slapped at every point when they try to explain or argue their point by Whumper. They are hit so often that they automatically close their eyes in the middle of speaking. This has become an issue, after their captivity. Any time they so much as slightly stand up for themself, they close their eyes tightly and brace for impact. Caretaker is horrified and tries to explain that they would NEVER lay a hand on Whumpee. But they made the mistake of raising their hand as they speak and Whumpee immediately flinches and falls back, expecting the swift slap. The quick pain. The disorientation. Caretaker watches in horror. How can they prove that they would never hurt their Whumpee?

The other day I was watched an episode of Leverage. The episode where Hardison gets buried alive (!!!) in a coffin. And I went man he deserves a hug at the end of this. and imagine my Delighted Surprise Where he got, not one, not two, but four hugs. Proper HUGS, bear hugs. beautiful, 11/10, no notes.
