CW: Brat taming, Degradation, Reader is the bottom + genderless, Exhibitionism 

You watched as he scowled angrily at his paperwork. It wasn't often he got so incredibly frustrated by his own work. His incredibly sharp mind usually took no effort working out issues within the Academia. You smirk from your seat to the side of the room. The way his lips curved down as he scowled only lightened your mood. His quill scribbled angrily on the sheet before him before he brushed the paper aside.

Curiously you stand and walk over to him. Over his shoulder you scan over the boring paperwork he'd resigned himself into finishing before he headed home for the day. The sheet Alhaitham had shoved aside had darker ink stains than most, a telltale sign of the frustration he felt towards its contents. With a mischievous twinkle in your eyes you reach over his broad shoulders and slide the piece closer.

"What do you think you're doing?" he asked sternly, his voice deep and full.

You hum playfully, aware that bothering him would prolong his stay. "Nothing at all." Your fingers pull the sheet of paper into your gentle grasp as another smile toys itself across your lips. Your eyes scan the contents of the dark ink. Every word was from some boring report..

"Give it back, Y/n," Alhaitham ordered.

You whisk away from him quickly, humming in feign scorn as you go over his work. "Or what?"

He huffed a heavy sigh and glared at you. The colours in his complex eyes shone as the light hit them at an angle. His hand outstretched and an eyebrow raised. "Y/n."

You put more of a distance between the two of you, walking briskly away from him. You nodded your head slowly as your eyes scanned more of the report, not actually paying attention to any of the text. "Interesting choices," you murmured scholarly.

You heard the legs of his chair scrape the polished floor as he stood. You looked up from the report and watched as he crossed the distance between you two. He reached to snatch the sheet from you but before he could you quickly raise it far above your head. Alhaitham was considerably taller than you, your face level with his chest and your arm still easily within his reach. The Grand Sage grasped your wrist in his, his grip tight so that you couldn't wriggle free.

"Oh, come on," you groaned. "I'm just trying to have some fun."

His unimpressed stare glided over your body smoothly, stuck stretched before him as he held you up. "You're being annoying."

Sticking out your tongue in defiance you smirk. "That's why you love me, idiot."

Silently, Alhaitham pulled his arm up, lifting you so only the tips of your toes were left touching. You let out a soft gasp and lifted your other arm to scrape away his strong grip. He didn't respond to your statement. You kicked your feet, pushing against his sculpted abdomen roughly. Unfazed he pushed you against the wall closest, your back pressed against the wall. Feeling the cool of the wall against your back, you glared at him.

"Fun killer," you spat.

His firm grasp lowered you as he pinned you, effectively using his weight to keep you from kicking or hitting him again. His warmth was intoxicating and his firm muscles would be intimidating if you hadn't been severely used to his strong willed personality. "Cut it out," he warned.

Your eyebrow raised challengingly as you gazed into his smothering gaze. You pushed against him, attempting to wriggle from the pressure keeping you against the wall. "Yeah? Or what? What could you do to me?"

Successfully you caused an opening where his weight was lessened and slid away, sheet still in hand you made a dash for the other side of the room. Adrenaline rushed into you as you heard his pursuing footsteps. He closed the distance much quicker than you anticipated. His grip tightened around your forearm and his other hand buried itself into your hair, grabbing a handful from the base of your scalp. Roughly he shoved your face into the window just in front of you. Your head spun as you collided with the glass, the sheet of paper fell from your hand to the floor and as your eyes focused on the ground at your feet you saw Alhaitham step on it. You could feel his piercing gaze lock onto your back. He forced you down, pushing you to your knees and forcing your neck to crane upwards. Your body rotated to face him as he moved you.
