Another long day passed, and it was time to get some shut eye, once again. Not yet for Gideon and Spencer. Gideon had to 'talk' to Reid. He walked in and observed his behavior. Reid looked at his expression. He immediately stood up, ready to beg and apologize.
"Gideon... I swear I am sorry, I-I didn't mean to..." Gideon held up his hand.
"This is getting old real quick, Reid." Reid observed the use of his name. His eyes watered.
"Please don't." He whispered in a cry-like voice. "Please Gideon, don't. Can we just talk?"
"Yes..." Reid looked up. "With a blistered butt we can." Reid broke into tears right there. "You need to learn your lesson, Spencer. I'm afraid you haven't yet."
"I have... I-I... No!" Reid sat down and crossed his arms.
"Don't throw a temper tantrum Reid. It'll only make it worse for you." He grabbed Reid's arms, ready to repeat the deja vu. Reid pulled his arms away and started to swing his arms everywhere. He kept hitting Gideon, but Gideon grabbed him again and forced him to stop by pinning his arms to the bed. "Stop it right now, Spencer Reid. You're just digging yourself a deeper hole."
"Please don't."
"I'm not going to break my promise. Now sit up and tell me exactly what I promised." Reid reluctantly sat up. "Well?"
Reid didn't want to look him in the eye, but when he didn't respond, he was forced to. Reid knew exactly what he promised. He was terrified. "That I'd be locked in here all day... with a blistered butt." Gideon nodded.
"And have I broke any promises yet?" Reid shook his head.
"I'm tired of begging, Gideon. Cause it doesn't change anything. So just get it the fuck over with." Reid said with an irritated voice.
"Spencer Reid! Language." Reid made eye contact for what seemed the first time that night.
"I'm not going to change that. Morgan swears. Like you care, though."
"That's because Morgan doesn't swear after every word."
"What the fuck ever. Just don't touch me, and leave me the hell alone."
"I'm tired of this bullshit Reid." He pulled Spencer over his lap and pulled his pants down. Reid kicked and screamed, but that didn't stop Gideon from keeping his promise.
"Just STOP Gideon! I swear to God."
"No, why would I stop. You obviously don't know right from wrong."
"I do... I do Gideon. Please... it hurts!" He said while Gideon continued the merciless beating.
"It's supposed to. It's to make you remember what'll happen next time you even think about irrational behavior."
"But... there won't be a next time! I swear!" Gideon wouldn't stop until he'd reach his promise. Spencer had stopped fighting him and all that came out of him were sobs. Long after, Gideon stopped and pulled Reid's boxers and pants back up.
Reid cried for a few minutes. "Spencer, look at me." Reid reluctantly did as was told. ''Next time you swear, I'll scrub your mouth so hard with soap, it'll hurt to eat. Just wanted to clear that up."
"I'm sorry." Reid went to hug him, but Gideon moved.
"Sorry Spencer. I'm not going to cuddle you. Not after the hard time you've been giving me." Spencer started crying into his pillow. His backside was so sore, he couldn't even move it hurt so bad. "Stop crying and go to bed." Reid was heart-broken. He stood to go to the bathroom and immediately regretted it. His bottom hurt so bad, he wasn't surprised there were bruises. Gideon was already asleep. He turned the shower on.
As he was about to get in, he slipped and fell on his butt. He was tempted to scream and swear, but he knew that would only cause the effect of more pain to his already worn out rear end. Lately, he's been really depressed, and had a rare solution he's been using to cope since his dad left. He'd cut himself, but he did it rarely. Now, he felt it was time to do it again. He'd always keep a razor with him. He looked for it in his bag and found it. He hurried to the bathroom.
Once he was done, he walked out with his razor, only to see Gideon up. Reid's heart skipped a beat.
A/N: So... I know, I had to bring that up at the end, but it's the last time it will, except for when Reid and Gideon talk about it, so no worries if this makes you wanna stop reading. = )
