Gulping, Henry tries to breathe when he feels suffocated and his eyes close to keep back shudders. “D…Dunno, sir” he whispers, feeling smaller under Rene’s eyes, slinking back and forth. He doesn’t know what to do, doesn’t know where to go. Does he write an apology letter? Get down on his knees? Go clean up the dogs’ messes? Touch Rene? Well, last one wasn’t allowed that much.
Shaking a bit more, he tries to scoot a little closer but he backs away right away. He might actually start crying in frustration at this point. “I’ll…I’ll do anything, I’m really, really sorry, I’ll be a good boy, I swear. Please, sir, please…”
this is a new development, he sees the tears swimming in henry’s visage, definitely NOT what he was expecting. rene’s always expected henry’s stubborn and provoking attitude came with strong backgrounds, instead, all it took was a stern look and upset, denying what the male wants to render henry into a teary mess....that was weak, too vulnerable....to bend so EASILY.
“ y’know, normally, i’d believe it when someone begs until they’re about to cry, it seems repentant, ” rene starts, “ if you go back on your words, henry, ” he warns, “ i will not hesitate in punishments, i have been lenient enough with you, ” he said, “ but i think after this, i will not be withholding punishment...if the kids here are punished for their indiscretion, so will you, even if you are only here as a cojoined project. ”
