Hey there again guys! WaveassassinVII here with a another chapter of a Crisis Core Punish. I feel like Square Enix would have a heart attack if they read this stuff. Getting in trouble on purpose to be punished is nothing but...sexy. I don't own Final Fantasy or the characters.

SOLDIER Inc. 61st Floor: Break Room

"Why am I here?!" Angeal bellowed out loud. Not to anyone in particular, but to someone. Maybe it was suppose to be an internal question posed to himself for the outrageous act he had committed. Yesterday night, he had wordlessly composed a message that would have landed him back to being a 2nd Class. Maybe even fired. He did his best not to he hurtful in his harassing message to Red Leather, Genesis's fan group. He thought he was pretty discrete with the insults to the fan girls having no lives and being 'fast' for a man they barely knew.

He felt the message was light considering the source, but one glance at Genesis's and Sephiroth's amused faces, Angeal realized two things:

A) What he wrote was mean.

B) He had stooped to their level and catered to their wishes.

Angeal had silently cursed himself for what he had done after sending the message. He never had so much self loathing for himself then he did that night. Worst yet, he couldn't even think about the poor fans he had wronged. All he thought of was:

'I'll get punished for sure with this...'

And when he woke up to a phone call from Director Lazard, his fate was sealed and he licked his lips in anticipation.

Now, looking back on it Angeal mentally screamed in horror. 'I'm the worst person ever!' he thought. He clawed at his hair and kicked his feet in the air as he sat on the sofa of the Break Room.

Sephiroth and Genesis just stared at him with mild confusion. After a long moment of Angeal flailing and moaning in despair, Genesis popped the question:

"So what punishment you think Zack will give us?"

"Genesis!" Angeal exclaimed now turning around in his seat to look over at his friends. Sephiroth was casually poking at the plants station at the corners of the room. "Don't you think we should explain to the Director that the letter was an accident?!"

Genesis gave his friend a hard glare, "Accident? Angeal I know you slept poorly last night, but may I remind you that what you did was no mistake."

Angeal swallowed hard wishing very much that Sephiroth wasn't on his own rival's side.

"I never took you as a liar my friend!" Genesis scoffed harshly, "Especially to save your own hide-"

"Ok, Ok! I get it!" Angeal coughed angrily.

Sephiroth finally looked up from his plant poking to stare at Angeal then Genesis. "Genesis, I think Angeal just feels regretful." Genesis just rolled his eyes.

Angeal knew Genesis understood clearly what he meant. The problem was, Angeal couldn't wrap his mind around his actions. He wanted to blame peer pressure, yet that wouldn't suffice. The horrid fact was she had no idea what he was thinking when he wrote that message. Was there any thought at all?

"Angeal, you need to learn to cut loose once in a while!" Genesis beamed, smiling in anticipation.

"This isn't letting loose! When the hell was getting humiliated fun?!" Angeal bellowed. But the words spoken seemed to have some powerful affect on the three in the room.

They all suddenly blushed. Genesis seemed more shamed than anyone though, Angeal was just embarrassed, Sephiroth turned his face away to lick his lips in secrete. The sentence was like a silent acceptance that this was enjoyable to them. Like being made to bark and pee there pants was...was...

"You're right." Genesis murmured. Sephiroth flinched at this. "Maybe...we should really..."

"But I's it a bit too late for that?" Sephiroth cut in before Genesis could finish the sentence. "Lazard may have already told Zack about it."

"Still, we could still explain-" Genesis trailed off. He felt like the middle man suddenly. On one hand he liked causing mischief, and on the other he knew what they did was wrong. With enough reasoning, they could get out of the punishment. But, there was this nagging feeling in the pit of his stomach. Maybe it was boredom. Considering non o them even get in trouble. And the consequences weren't normal on top of that. Genesis was clueless about the feeling inside of him. All he knew was that...he needed to feed it. Badly.

"It's the middle of the night." Sephiroth stated coldly.

"Do you even feel bad?!" Genesis hissed at the silver haired man. "Or do you want this to happen?!"

"I'm not a pervert."

The three blushed again.

Sephiroth looked down at his feet. He didn't feel a lot of things. Even the things one would normally react to, he would just stare on in cold calm. The only things eh felt for was his contentment with his friends-his close friends- and what ever parts of hi past he contemplated over. This 'punishment' business was new but he figured he would just dismiss it like the rest.

Why did it make him feel so much. Even this embarrassment that came with it was...

"...we should call the Director." Sephiroth stated and the other two nodded.

"Well, well, well, looks like you guys made my job a lot easier."

Sephiroth spun around on his heel hearing the familiar laid back voice of Zack. Genesis and Angeal swore mentally seeing the man standing in the doorway. When Zack closed the door behind him, it was like the three of them couldn't say a thing. They were stuck.

Sephiroth opened his mouth to say something but quickly shut it. His eyes fell on the brown paper bag danging by it's string on Zack's right hand. He couldn't help noting it was a little bulkier than the other times.

Zack yawned not even noticing Sephiroth's stare. He did note, however, Genesis deep blush on his cheek, which he assumed was due to him cleaning his room floor from his little 'accident'. But Zack figured the man was just mad and wanted to kick his ass more than he did before. And Angeal was just...flat out mad.

"So..." Zack squeaked, "Who sent the message? Or was it a group effort?"He tried so hard not to laugh at how red the three men were. Genesis just chewed anxiously on his bottom little.. Zack thought it was a little cute...

"It was an accident Zack." Angeal said plainly.

"Y-yeah." Genesis agreed. Sephiroth nodded.

"So we're lying now. Perfect." Zack hummed and walked passed Sephiroth to sit on one of the sofa's of the room.

"You're wrong! It was an accident!" Angeal bellowed. He was like a child trying to get out of a spanking.

Zack just dismissed his teacher with a wave of his hand and put the bag on his lap. "You know, you guys can be straight with me, fans are a big ass pain in the ass you know." he opened it up and started moving his hand inside. Sephiroth knew he was drawing this out considering ti shouldn't take that long to pull something out of a small bag, right? "You guys are 1st Classes like me." he smiled, "So who gives a fuck about a few hurt feelings from grateful people am I right?"

Ouch. That hurt.

Sephiroth gasped a little and turned his face away in shame. Genesis strained his lips into a thin line. Angeal was the only one that tried to speak, but no words came out.

"Right. Thought so." Zack snorted scornfully at them. More weight on their shoulders to bare.

The sound of metal clicking in the rattling bag drew their eyes to look up.

"Alright, since it's like that. How about~~we go..."

The three operatives eyes widened at what was in Zack's hand. Three different colored leather loops were in his hand with clearish rope attached.

"For a walk!" Zack beamed, his sky blue eyes sparkling. Then they darkened a iittle as he asked, "Have either of you ever worn a collar before?"

*I know I know. Screw my cliff hangers. But I have returned. College and what not. And a fan club wants more of this story so...wow. ouo;

Uhm, the locations used are all taken from Final Fantasy Fandom Websites. So I really don't know what the ShinRa building looks like. Sorry if I'm wrong, I'm trying.

Thanks for Reading. Comments are always loved here. *
