Seth had been looking forward to this day for months. He'd been recruited a year ago into the Agency when he had a run in with Luke and Luke seemed to see something in him worthwhile, and ever since then he'd been training for his first mission. A few days ago their boss finally assigned them a job that they were supposed to do and Seth of course was excited, but he was also scared. He was just hiding that part. The only downside was that Luke was needed on a different job so Seth had been left to his own devices for a few days, and he'd sort of let his boyfriends rules slip. He'd decided to celebrate and ended up having a few too many glasses of wine and now he had a killer hangover that he had no idea how to get rid of. He was laying on their bed, the room totally dark and a pillow over his head as he waited for his alarm clock to go off. He probably shouldn't be going on this job if he was hung over but he didn't want to call Luke and tell him what he'd done, so he was planning on faking his way through it and hoping that Luke didn't notice. Why he thought that was possible he wouldn't have been able to say, but he was nineteen and prone to making stupid snap decisions so he thought he could get away with it and was hoping the two glasses of water and aspirin he'd taken an hour ago would get rid of his symptoms before Luke got there. The alarm went off beside him and he groaned, rolling over and smacking it as his head protested both the shrill sound, and moving, but he dragged himself out of bed and got into the shower. When he got out again he felt a little better and he scrubbed his teeth to try and disguise the smell of the alcohol then headed back to the bedroom where he pulled on a wrinkled outfit that he had no idea if it was clean or not and made his way downstairs to wait for Luke, grimacing when he saw his bloodshot eyes and decided he would just try to avoid eye contact with Luke and see if that worked.

(( ooh bad boy, nice title and opener ^^ ))

Luke was really looking forward to seeing Seth, the man was in love with his boyfriend naturally and he felt that there was no better feeling than knowing the one he loved was waiting at home for him. Currently, the man was sat in the driver's seat of their shared Porsche (which was mostly driven by Luke anyway, somehow he always seemed to need it more) and stuck in a small spot of traffic. The man scanned his eyes down over his watch and sighed a little, he had told his boyfriend he would be back around eight and it was already ten to. "Come on, come on...." he willed the traffic lights before him, smiling when they flashed green, and the man drove quickly through, parking up outside the house at precisely seven -fifty five am.

Luke emerged from the car, glad to be out of the vehicle after an endless four hour trip and then fished in to his jeans pocket for the house keys, thankfully he located them quickly and unlocked the front door. "Honey I'm home!" he called out, his voice playfully shrill. Luke then walked in to the living room where he spotted the love of his life and immediately he went to him and swept the young man off his feet, holding him in his arms bridal style and giving his boyfriend a loving, passionate kiss. "Ugh I am so sneaking you in to my suitcase next time, can't cope without you." he teased and then set him on his feet.

Luke was about to ask how his days had been, when suddenly he caught the linger of slight alcohol in his mouth after kissing his lover and he frowned a little, "Seth...." he grabbed the young man's chin gently and made sure they were eye to eye. Sighing as he saw the bloodshot eyes, he knew his boyfriend had a hang over. Luke was not happy, Seth knew well that drinking without his supervision was against the rules and he placed his hands on his hips, giving Seth that stern look that he knew all too well by now.

"Seth Sommers, have you been drinking?" Luke asked, his tone low and frightening like a very, very stern parent. "Don't you dare try and lie to me."

[animefangirl]

Seth was really wishing that he'd listened to that little voice last night that tried to tell him drinking was a bad idea at that point. He nervously glanced at the clock and groaned as he realized that his boyfriend would be back in about ten minutes and he still hadn't managed to look 100% back to normal, though the aspirin had sort of gotten rid of his headache he still wasn't feeling so hot either. He really didn't want to disappoint Luke or give his boyfriend a reason to say that he couldn't go on the job today though, so he was determined that he was going to hide this and just avoid eye contact or getting too close to Luke. "Yeah, that'll work, genus" He muttered to himself before grimacing at his reflection and starting to pace as he tried to figure this out.

He heard the porche pull up outside and froze, part of him thrilled that Luke was back but another part was worried he was going to be mad when he realized what Seth had been up to. There wasn't anythign he could do about it now and he just smiled a little when he heard Luke's jokingly shrill voice calling that he was home. "In the living room" He called back and then found himself swept up into Luke's arms, getting a startled yelp out of him as he wrapped his arms around Luke's neck to help support his weight and happily returned the passionate kiss that Luke gave him, putting one of his hands on the back of his boyfriends head and pulling him closer as they kissed.

When they had to pull apart for air he listened to Luke saying he was sneaking him along next time and smiled, "Missed you too" he said earnestly, since he always hated when Luke had to go away for more than a day and missed the older man when he was gone. He was just starting to think he might actually be able to get away with the drinking thing at that point, since Luke hadn't said anything yet so Seth was hoping he hadn't noticed, but his hopes were dashed a few seconds later when Luke grabbed his chin and forced him to make eye contact. He fidgeted as his boyfriend examined his eyes, knowing already that Luke was going to see the signs of his hangover and immediately feeling bad for breaking his boyfriends rules.

This was a recurring problem with him though, he always felt bad for it after it was too late to change it, he never thought about it before breaking the rule. When Luke asked him if he'd been drinking in that deep voice that sent chills down the teens spine his initial reaction was to lie and try to save his ass--literally. "Uhhhh" He started, about to lie but then Luke added the 'dont you dare' and he lost is courage to go through with it and changed what he'd been about to say to, "Would I do something like that?" as he tried to dodge the question, or at least answering the question since he knew that Luke already realized he was in fact hung over Seth just didnt' want to admit it. Then he just fidgeted a little as he shoved his hands into the pockets of his badly wrinkled jeans as he waited for the figurative ax to drop.

[KingCrowley]

Luke really was not happy that Seth had decided to break any of his rules, he had entrusted him to uphold each and every single one before he left. It just had to be the drinking rule, since that one was one of the more strict rules, Seth was underage and he could have gotten up to all sorts without his supervision. The thought of Seth wandering around drunk in the streets at the stroke of midnight made him feel a little sick, hoping that his boyfriend had the sense to stay in the house at least when he had gotten drunk. There was a part of him that didn't want to scold and be stern, since he had been away from his lover for a while and would much rather be kissing and snuggling with him than scolding him. That was the norm though, Seth did something wrong and Luke made sure to correct his boyfriend's behavior, and usually, with a spanking.

The stern, older man gazed deeply in to his lover's bloodshot eyes and he could tell right away that he had been victim to a hangover, he wanted his lover to explain to him what had happened and to be truthful since that was another rule that Seth had to follow and breaking that one alone would surely get the young man bent over his knee with his bare bottom raised. Needless to say, Luke asked his boyfriend if he had been drinking and made it very clear that he did not want a lie, and preferably a straight forward yes or no. The dark haired man narrowed his eyes at the answer his boyfriend gave since it seemed as though he were avoiding the answer he needed because obviously he was guilty of doing wrong.

"I'll take that as a 'yes' then." Luke frowned, it was evident how unhappy he was by his tone and the stern expression on his face. "Seth! You know that I do not approve of you drinking without my supervision, you could over drink and get in to some serious danger." he scolded, hands on his hips again, the fingers resting on his black, leather belt. "You also know what happens when you break my rules." he added, knowing his lover knew what he meant by that. "Seth, what happens when you break my rules?" he asked, looking at him with a more stern expression than before. Of course when Seth did break the rules, it always resulted in a spanking, a good hard old fashioned bare bottom spanking, over Luke's knee to be more specific. Luke knew that Seth knew this and he wanted to hear him say it, "I want a straight forward answer from you, young man."

[animefangirl]

Seth was really wishing that he had just resisted the urge to drink the night before at this point. Now that he was caught and clearly in trouble with his boyfriend it suddenly didn't seem worth it. But he'd been lonely last night and a bit depressed that Luke wasn't going to be with him the night before his first mission so he'd decided that he needed a little 'celebration' to lift his spirits. At the time it had seemed like a good idea, but now that he was facing his angry boyfriend he was thinking it was a bad one. He tried to avoid eye contact with Luke but the older man forced the issue and he nearly got himself into worse trouble by lying but he knew that was one of Luke's 'immediate punishment' types of rules so he resisted that urge and hedged.

Apparently that wasn't a great idea either and he grimaced when Luke said he would take it as a 'yes' and looked down at his feet as he fidgeted, not wanting to see Luke's disappointed or angry expression anymore. He flinched when Luke scolded him, half expecting Luke to smack him across the face the way his foster parents would have but he knew that wasn't going to happen and Luke wouldn't do that it was just his first reaction. "I know, but it's not that big a deal Luke. I stayed inside and didn't make myself sick" he argued, his pleading eyes flicking up to Luke as he tried to mitigate the damage since he knew he wasn't going to be able to get out of trouble, but he hoped he could lessen it.

His eyes followed Lukes hands to the mans belt, which he was unfortunately very familiar with, and he felt that sinking feeling in his stomach as he wondered of Luke was going to whip his ass for this one. He hoped not but it wouldn't really surprise him. His eyes flicked back up to Luke when his boyfriend added that he knew what happened when he broke the rules and the rest, grimacing when Luke went on to ask him what that was. "You get mad" he said, hedging again since he didn't want to say it and then he huffed when Luke added that he wanted a straight answer and blushed but he reluctantly supplied it since he was still trying to mitigate the damage at that point. "You spank me" he said, fidgeting again before giving Luke a pleading look. "It was just a few glasses of wine, Luke, and it was the night before my first mission. Cant we call this one a special occasion?" he asked, trying to wiggle his way out of trouble and hoping Luke would go for it.

[KingCrowley]

Luke noticed that Seth's gaze had drifted down to his belt, and he couldn't help but feel slightly affected by the look his vivid blue eyes were currently holding. He knew how daunting the feeling of being in big trouble could be - since growing up his Father had been strict - and his heart really did, truly go out to his boyfriend, however that didn't stop him from chastising his ward. The brunette went on to ask Seth what the consequences for breaking any of the rules ended in, and when the man responded with 'you get mad' it was very evident that answer had not impressed Luke in the slightest. Though he did give Seth another chance, telling him after that he wanted a straight forward answer from him. He could see the blush set on his face, the mention or thought of a spanking was naturally embarrassing but while Luke believed naughty behavior needed some humbling, he didn't agree with building the foundation of his boyfriend's punishments on humiliation.

Eventually, Seth gave him the answer he was looking for and the man gave him a small nod of his head in reply. He was about to speak once more, until he was set back by a string of pleadings from Seth. Luke shook his head in response once the younger male had finished ranting and raving. "No Seth." he answered in that firm voice of reason and authority. "A special occasion or not, you know very well that you do not circumvent my rules." he scolded, narrowing his oceanic coloured eyes at him. "If you really thought there was nothing wrong with the thought alone, you could have simply given me a call or a text to ask, and I may have been inclined to approving, though with limitations." Both Luke and Seth knew how and more specifically where this was going to end and he reached out to take Luke's upper arm.

"You know that I love you very much, and the rule I put in place is to protect you, not to make you miserable." Luke explained, being eye level with his young lover now. "Now, because you broke that rule, you are indeed going to take a trip over my knee to get a spanking." he made clear before then walking his young charge over to their chocolate brown leather sofa. It was instances like these that reminded Seth who was in charge in this relationship, who made the rules and enforced them. Of course Luke would never take advantage of his lover and while he took the more dominant role in their relationship, he only did so because Seth didn't have a non sexual dominant bone about him. "You know that I cannot forgive you until punishment is put in place. You want to make me proud, and I know that...but right now I am not proud at all, I am disappointed in your behavior."

He knew Seth wouldn't enjoy hearing those words fall from his lips, but he needed Seth to partially accept the spanking and assure him that all would be forgiven afterward. "Now." he said before taking a seat down on the sofa and then looking up at his lover. "Bend over my knee." he ordered, knowing that if Seth did this without complaint, then he did somewhat accept the punishment and that would make Luke feel as though he was giving his lover what he needed rather than angrily beating him, which of course, he would never do, ever.

[animefangirl]

Seth had no idea that his boyfriends dad had been strict with him too, but it wouldn't have surprised him to know it with the way that Luke was with him all the time. Well, not all the time, just when he had done something wrong, which was a lot of the time. Right now he was more concerned with the state of his butt and with how upset Luke was with him since that just bothered him and probably always would. He fidgeted and evaded answering Luke's questions as long as he could but when the man got firm with him and said to give a straight answer he obyed, but couldn't resist the urge to try and whine his way out of it. He wasn't really surprised when that didn't work but he still gave Luke a sort of pouting look when the man told him no and then went on to lecture him about breaking the rules. "I'm not supposed to call you when you're on jobs" he pointed out when Luke argued that he coudl have done so, thinking maybe he'd score a point with that one but he doubted it since he had done it before and he knew that Luke would just call him back when it was safe to do so so that excuse didn't really fly for him either.

He groaned softly when Luke gripped his arm but before he could whine again Luke pointed out that the rules were for his protection and that made him feel even guiltier than he already had been before. He already knew why Luke did this but it didnt' mean he liked being lectured, it always made him feel worse and ashamed of himself for nto doing as he knew he was supposed to. He didn't fight Luke as the man walked him over to their sofa, feeling very much put in his place at that point since he knew that he'd done wrong and he knew that his boyfriend was going to correct him for it, which was something that he didn't like but the fact of the matter was he'd agreed to this sort of relationship and he'd wanted Luke to have this authority in his life because it made him feel safe. So even though he didn't like it he just went where he was lead and then met Lukes eyes as the man lectured him, though the bit about Luke being disappointed in him made him get misty eyed and avert his gaze since he hated when Luke was disappointed in him for anything. " 'm sorry" he said then, his voice soft, even though he knew that it wouldnt' be accepted until afterwards he still wanted to give the apology.

Then Luke ordered him to bend over his knee for the spanking and while Seth really didn't want to he was feeling pretty guilty at that point so he slowly obeyed, laying himself over Luke's lap and squirming a bit until he was comfortable and then he stilled. He was unfortunately very used to this position by now though so he just lay there and waited for Luke to get on with it, hoping it wouldn't be that bad and that Luke would forgive him afterwards--which Luke always had but Seth always worried that he might not one of these days if Seth got into too much trouble.

[KingCrowley]

While Seth's apology for what he had done seemed genuine, it was also very pointless. Luke believed that sorry was just a word until there had been some actual justice put in place, which he intended to enforce upon his wayward boyfriend this time around and probably for many future circumstances to come. Then Luke went on to ordering Seth to bend over his knee, which he knew was a very haunting task but also it was a very important step in their relationship, it showed Luke that Seth trusted him and he wanted the forgiveness from him, which showed he was prepared to take responsibility for his actions and deal with the consequences, no matter how unpleasant they may be.

"Thank you." Luke said plainly when Seth positioned his frame over his lap. He waited until the younger male squirmed in to a position he was comfortable with and was laying still until he made a move to raise one of his legs which effectively raised Seth's bottom higher than the rest of his body and very exposed to the spanking he was about to receive. "I really hope you realize the severity of this situation Seth, you know to uphold my rules." he scolded, tone low and scary again before hooking his fingers inside the waistband of the very creased pants, pausing a moment, the man tugged them down to the younger male's knees. "This is not going to be a repeat offense, do you hear me?" he asked, a very scary firmness to his tone. After leaving that to dwell on Seth's mind for about three seconds, Luke then yanked down Seth's underwear to join his pants, effectively exposing his bottom which would no doubt serve to make him feel very vulnerable right now.

Luke gently patted his boyfriend's bouncing cheeks for a few moments before reeling his arm back and raising his hand. There was a short pause, before Luke brought his firm hand down with force across the bare buttocks, giving two sharp smacks to either of his cheeks.

[animefangirl]

Seth knew that it was pointless to apologize before a spanking but it made him feel better to tell his boyfriend that he was sorry beforehand so that Luke would know he meant it and he wasn't just saying it to make the man stop swatting him or because he'd just been spanked hard. SO he offered one up now and then reluctantly got into position the way that Luke ordered him to. He blushed a little bit darker when Luke thanked him, that embarrassing him too just given the current position he was in but he didn't feel humiliated or anything like that, this was just the normal embarrassment anyone in his position would feel. Then he crossed his arms on the couch and hid his face against the crook of his elbow, trying to brace himself for the spanking and hoping that it wouldn't be that bad since that was really all that he could do right now.

He made a whining sound in his throat when Luke lifted one of is legs, of course knowing why his boyfriend was doing that and he hated when Luke did that since it made it easier to smack his legs and sit spots and that just hurt. "Luuuke" he whined softly, shifting his weight uneasily then quieting when Luke scolded him and nodded slightly, "Yes, sir" he said softly, slipping into the formal way of addressing Luke because he was in trouble and that was just how he happened to talk when he was in trouble. He liked doing it when they were intimate too, but he rarely used the respectful title in other aspects of their lives unless Luke asked him to for a 'game' or something. He groaned softly when he felt his pants being pulled down and Luke told him that it wouldnt happen again and he grimaced but nodded, sort of unnerved by the tone of Lukes voice even though he knew that his boyfriend wasn't going to hurt him and never would he was still intimidated by the low, angry tone that he knew better than he wished.

He pressed his face farther against his arms when Luke yanked his underwear down to join his pants, that embarrassing him but also letting him know it was going to start soon. He jumped when he felt Luke patting his bottom, the anticipation making him jumpy and he squirmed uncomfortably but made no attempt to get up or otherwise fight the punishment he'd earned for himself. He yelped and kicked his feet a bit at the first hard swat, the sting surprising him as always but after that he managed to contain his reactions to just gasps and jerks, wiggling from side to side slightly as he tried to make the sting go away even though he knew that it was going to be quite a while before he was allowed to get up.

[KingCrowley]

Luke took no pleasure in doing this for his boyfriend, believing it to be a necessary evil because when it got to the point where Seth was laying, sobbing over his knee, he felt like a terrible person. When Seth whined as he raised the young man's bottom higher, he just shook his head and went on to scold him, nodding his head in response to the 'yes sir' since he took that as the highest form of respect and he appreciated that from the young man. "Good." Luke answered, his tone still low, trying to keep any trace of sympathy or remorse from creeping in there, he needed to be the firm, yet loving boyfriend right now in order for Seth to learn a lesson from this spanking. He lowered both layers of his lower clothing down to his knees to bare his bottom and he knew Seth wouldn't like that, looking down at him as he nodded his head in response to his scolding.

When the first four smacks fell down without pause across the exposed flesh, Luke looked down at his boyfriend to take into account his reactions, needing to know whether he could benefit from some harder smacks or that he was hitting him too hard to begin with. That hardly ever seemed to be the case though, Luke spanked, he didn't beat and he would never give his boyfriend anymore than he could handle, he was out to correct him, not abuse him and he stood by that moral very firmly rooted. His reactions were fairly standard however and told him that he could do with some harder smacks but not by all that much. As the young man jerked and wriggled over his lap, he fought the urge not to sigh, since he didn't enjoy seeing his boyfriend like this, but again, it was necessary.

Luke raised his hand again, only giving a short pause before he started to spank Seth in a rhythm of two smacks to the same area of flesh before then moving to a new area and repeating the process. Normally he would apply three at a time, but this was just a warm up to for the implement he planned on using to really make this lesson sink in. Luke glanced down at the naked bottom over his lap, as he struck it repeatedly with systematic smacks, noticing that the backside was slowly turning a light pink colour.

"Why are you being spanked Seth?" Luke asked, tone stern.
