whatās next?

the pout of frustration grows deeper on the teens face as he pulls through another sit up. outraged by the fact he was the only one doing thisāits embarrassing too! why did it have to be in the yard, couldnāt they have done it in the training room? so what if the room is likeā¦ā¦ empty. itād be better than this!
the teen relaxes his body, arms flopping out beside him even though he knows he has a lot more sit ups to do.Ā āi knew it, you just want to torture me.ā he complains. his muscles are already starting to get sore and he knows he will be stiff tomorrow if he doesnāt stretch it out right. this is so lame. he only broke like⦠one case. they have so many cases.Ā āwhat if like we just say i did all of them already?āĀ
he knows this is probably no use but he is going to try anyway. appealing to sebās soft side. his team leader has always been the reliable type but he can be strict and so far doyun has never succeeded in wiggling out of punishment.Ā
ābesides shouldnāt i keep helping them move thingss???ā ignoring the fact it had been helping when he broke the case.Ā
"uh huh, yes," seb replies. yes, obviously he just wants to torture doyun by making him do sit ups. no; he's only kidding. doyun is very dear to him, which is part of why he must do this. sit ups to stay in shape, and a constant reminder that mistakes have consequences, even if they're accidents, so he must always be careful. doyun has a tendency to be a little careless and a bit of a mess, even if his heart is in the right place. seb thinks he'll grow out of most of it. in some ways, though, doyun's demeanor is encouraging. at least doyun hasn't needed to grow up too quickly like so many have; he is still young and able to act as such, and while it's seb's job to break him of bad habits and help him grow into a good agent, he thinks it's also his job to protect him so he can maintain some of that innocence.
"no," seb replies. "the less you complain the more stamina you'll have to finish your sit ups and the faster you'll be finished." he tries to think of some way to sate doyun; something fun they can do as a reward for him finishing, but they are breaking meia down and the world outside is a wasteland, and some things simply must be done without the promise of anything good on the other side, even for as kind as seb is.
"you can help them move things after your sit ups, if they say it's okay." they really could use all the hands they can get to pack up the building and prepare for their move, but those hands have to be careful, and with doyun's track record...well, maybe it's better he do something else. "i'm sure we'll be able to find something for you to do."
