Drabble – Crime and Punishment II

Alexander already had figured out the crime, now he was deciding on the punishment. Several things flashed through his mind, each one better than the last one. Maybe he could do them all.

Hephaestion continued with his speech explaining what information he needed to get his supply order together. He glanced Alexander's way and winced when he saw the look in his eyes.

The crime had been easy; no one was allowed to look like he did, act like he did. He was too beautiful, much too charming and intelligent. What punishment would be fitting for being almost perfect?

The staring was beginning to burn a hole in his back. He sneaked a peek at Alexander and found him licking his lips and smirking. He was honestly smirking.

Spanking, torture or confinment? Or maybe a combination of all of them.

A shiver ran down Hephaestion's spine. He had seen that look on Alexander's face before and he suddenly remembered where it had led. The shivers were still there but now for a different reason.

Alexander dismissed everyone except Hephaestion.

The crimes were read, sentence passed and punishment received…

In the end, Hephaestion was perfectly processed for the perfect crime.
