Pride and Punishment

Part 1

Author's Notes:

SOTUS season 1 AU where the hazing gets taken a bit further with soft D/s themes. Warnings for some humiliation but its not really extreme. I needed more Hot Head Hazer punishing Mr. Freshman. Roughly set just after Arthit being reinstated as head hazer.

Pride & Punishment

"So? Out with it! What did he think about that idea?" Arthit's voice is distorted as it comes through the phone.

The core hazing team holds the phone on speaker mode while they mill around in the hall outside the engineering faculty advisor's office, filling Arthit in on what's next to come in their hazing journey on class 59.

"He agreed. But there's a condition that only the female seniors can mentor the female freshmen." Knot explained.

"This world is against me." Bright's shoulders slump and he immediately looks depressed.

"But it works for me!" Tutah grins and puffs up with happiness.

"Idiots, this is educational!" Prem smacks them both.

The new SOTUS event concept is this: to increase the personal mentorships between the seniors and freshmen, the faculty of engineering will have a Freshman Auction. Seniors will put up cash money to bid on a freshman, and in return the freshman will spend time learning from the senior about university life. The proceeds will go towards their end of semester trip.

That's the official reasoning for the event.

Unofficially?

The freshman will do whatever the senior wants.

Some students got creative. It was basically anything goes providing it did not break any of the school rules or cause injury. And it was all supposed to make the SOTUS system fun.

In past years, between classes one could see girls and guys helping carry their seniors' books, singing the flaming chicken dance, running various errands. In return, every participating freshman would get to know another senior and be able to rely on them.

"We're meeting to divide responsibilities with the cheer committee and planners. Now that you're reinstated, we need you too." Knot smiles.

"That's good..." The reinstated head hazer's voice contains gratitude over the phone. "I will be there!"

"Any idea who you'll bid on?" Bright rubs his hands together with glee.

"Ay, we need money for that." Prem shakes his head.

The group all laugh and listen for Arthit's reply.

"It doesn't matter who it is! They will suffer!"

Arthit ends the phone call in a truly good mood. SOTUS is back on. And more than that, one on one time seems like the right solution to achieve redemption for their hazing tactics.

Arthit sits back in his desk chair, stretching lightly. The only thing is... thinking about individual time with a freshman inevitably makes him think about his so-called 'favorite' upstart freshy.

0062 Kongpob.

Objectively, he's cute. Of course, he's cute – he had a crowd of senior girls around him that time in the quad courtyard. It was clear that he would do well in the freshy night moon & star competition. He'd likely pull in a lot of money in the freshman auction too... But Arthit sniffs in reproach as he thinks about it.
