red list

to make this quick, this was one of the softer excerpts from a book i wanted to write a while ago and i thought, what the hell :/ i also realize it might not make sense but anyway!

'sir, please i'm sorry.' michael whimpered as he was dragged by the ear into a room he hadn't dared look into since he arrived. luke was walking quickly now, causing michael to move a bit faster to avoid the pulling at his ear. he noticed that ashton and calum were sat in the living room as they passed it, looking nervous for the younger lad. he hadn't dealt with an angry luke yet.

'don't speak.' michael closed his mouth tightly, suddenly afraid that any sound that came from his mouth would get him into even more trouble.

'luke, please don't do it to him!' ashton called from the other room, knowing that calling him by his first name would get him into trouble later. michael was far more important right now. luke continued on, reaching his own room and dragging michael inside.

'sit on the floor.' luke growled, not looking at michael and instead at the far wall. michael cautiously got onto the floor, his legs crossed and his hands folded in his lap.

'i can't believe you swore at me. not even i swear, what makes you think you can?' luke sounded calm, but it terrified michael. he knew that luke was going to punish him, and he was so scared.

'i'm sorry.' michael whispered. luke just shook his head, pulling a little key from his pocket. it looked new but also had an older look to it.

'you will be.'

michael watched as luke walked toward the door, and his eyes widened.

'no-no-no please, i-i'm sorry! please don't.' michael tried getting up and running for the door, but luke swiftly shut it and a locking sound was heard. michael felt his eyes water as he pounded on the door.

'i'm sorry! i'm sorry! please don't lock me in here! sir, please!' luke saw both of his other boys come into view at the end of the hallway, their expressions blank. he noticed that calum kept trying to hold ashton's hand.

'its twenty-five minutes, michael. shut up and sit down.' michael's head was foggy as he pounded on the door. he hated that he couldn't leave the room, he wanted to be able to, but he couldn't.

'luke, that's on his red list.' luke's eyes widened at ashton's words.

'no it's not, go back to the living room and let me punish him how i want to.'

'ashton's right, sir. he's gonna freak out. you gotta let him out.' calum's voice wasn't soft like usual. it was harsh, something luke had never heard from him.

'luke, please let me out, i'm sorry! i'll never swear ever again. i'm sorry.' michael was sobbing when luke opened the door. michael stood up and ran over, hugging luke tightly. the older boy didn't understand what was going on, they never hugged him. he was sure they all hated him.

'i know you-you're meant to punish me when i'm bad. but please don't use-not my red list. please sir.' luke felt horrible, he might be harsh but he has never used his submissive's red lists against them. and now he's got michael thinking he did.

'michael, i'm sorry. i forgot that was on your list, i promise,' he held out his pinkie to the boy, who wrapped his pinkie around it. 'i promise that'll never happen again.'

luke held michael's face and wiped the tears that, for some reason, were still falling. michael was so shaken up, he hated feeling isolated and being ignored. it was one of his worst fears.

calum and ashton were watching silently outside the door, noticing how gentle luke seemed to be with michael. he had never really been gentle with them. sometimes when they were ill and needed help, but other than that he was a harsh dominant.

'c'mon, you're going to bed.' luke muttered quickly, lifting michael off the ground and holding him like a toddler. calum and ashton quickly scurried off unnoticed.

they got to the three boys shared room and luke laid michael down, covering him with the thin blanket he owned. luke went to say goodnight, but noticed that michael looked about ready to have a meltdown.

'what's wrong?' luke asked, trying to sound sympathetic. he failed.

'i'm sorry, sir. i just-i don't wanna be alone. it's okay-i'm just complaining. i'm sorry.' michael turned over and pulled the blackets over his face. luke sighed and watched the boy for a moment. he should probably just go, he shouldn't get close with his submissives. but god, this one was giving him grief. he groaned silently before slowly climbing into the bed with him. luke winced at the uncomfortable mattress.

'c'mere, michael.' michael immediately turned around and started sobbing into his dominants chest. it caught luke off guard. the dominant started rubbing the boy's back, trying to calm him down a bit.

after a while, michael's cries diminished and were replaced with soft snores. his pale little hands were lightly gripping at luke's shirt, so the blond pried them off.

'he never did that with us, ashy, why?' calum's soft voice asked. they were holding hands, calum thought it was comforting. ashton squeezed calum's hand and pulled him away from the entryway when he noticed luke getting up.

'i think luke just really loves michael. just like i love you. understand?' ashton walked to the kitchen, grabbing an apple for calum, who was nodding in agreement to ashton's statement.

'yeah. i love you too, ashy.' calum said with a huge grin, biting into his apple and giggling at the crunch.

'too cute, calum.'

luke came into the kitchen and groaned when seeing the two boys. he grabbed a soda from the fridge as he eyed the two, noticing their fearful yet amused looks, moreso ashton than calum.

'what is it?'

'you like michael, don't you, sir?' luke's eyes widened at the disrespect that was being given, and he growled angrily. ashton just decided to test the waters a little more, he could deal with a good punishment.

'you pretty much smother him, and i don't think it's fair to me and calum. why don't you like us?' luke glanced at calum, who had a little smile on his face. luke wanted to smack it off him.

'both of you better shut your mouths and show some respect to me or you'll be sorry. go to your room.' ashton huffed and grabbed calum's hand, pulling him to their room, where michael was asleep.
