Disclaimer: I own nothing. Except a birthday this week, yay...wait...can you own a birthday? huh...

Prompt: Books, Sunshine, and Punishment

"I hate English class…" Sean stated, his eyes attempting to burn a hole in the book he was holding. He'd been sitting in the same chair for two hours, 'reading' the book his Nazi of an English teacher had assigned to him before the last school year even ended. However, when I say the word 'reading' I mean staring angrily at the words in the novel and flipping the pages every few minutes…

Symbolic references found? Zero.

Imagery highlighted? The marker hadn't even been uncapped, despite the fact that it smelled like grape.

Overall reading comprehension? Nada.

Point? None.

But it was important to Tony that his boyfriend graduate high school, and so the blonde drudged on; staring angrily at his book, for 'as long as it takes you to get through that damn book'. Because of this fact, Tony had already grown long accustomed to his boyfriend's random outbursts in anger at his teacher, English class, the school system in general, life, the English language, and basically humanity as a whole; and was not shocked when yet another one left the confines of his lover's lips.

"I know…" Tony stated distractedly, reading his own book for pleasure. He'd already finished all six books required for English IV AP but refused to tell Sean any hints behind the books, nor allow him to use Sparknotes; which proved to be both positive and negative. Positive being that his boyfriend would get a good grade, therefore not dropping out, and not bumming off of him for the rest of their collective lives…the negative part? Sean had decided to punish his boyfriend with zero sex for as long as it took him to read them. A punishment that was slowly destroying the Italian from within…

"So will you help me?" Sean asked, looking at the other boy who had still not let his eyes stray from the page; however the fact that he'd stopped reading.

"Nope…" A turn of the page…

"But…but why?" Sean whined. Now, like I said before, don't get me wrong. Sean Conlon is certainly NOT a whiner…but he wasn't getting laid either; a fact which can easily turn an already irritable seventeen year old boy quite bitchy.

"Because I refuse to financially support you when we get older!" Tony snapped and Sean rolled his eyes.

"Oh please, that's assuming we're even going to be together when we're older…" Sean stated, but instantly regretted it as soon as he saw the look on his boyfriend's face. It was a cross between hurt and shock, but whatever it was, it broke Sean's heart.

"You son of a bitch…" Tony stated, throwing the book in Sean's direction, but no where near him; and storming out of the room.

"Aw, Tony, don't get like that! Come on!" Sean stated, getting up, throwing his book on the couch in which he previously resided and followed his boyfriend throughout the house.

"No, fuck you, Sean!" Tony yelled, and sped up his footsteps.

"Come on, you know I didn't mean it!" Sean stated, running his fingers through his hair in frustration. However, in said frustration, he did not notice his boyfriend stop walking and turn around; meaning he came less than an inch to walking right into him.

"Then why did you say it?" Tony stated, his hands practically flailing in his Italian anger.

"I…I don't fucking know! I was kidding!" The blonde stated, biting his lip in stress.

"Well don't kid like that, asshole!" Tony stated and pushed him noncommittally in the shoulder, "You know I don't like it when you talk like that! I only want you to get an education because I care about you, and because I want you to be successful whether you're with me or not!" Tony stated and began to walk away again.

Sean stopped him, however, and pulled on his shoulder. Tony allowed himself to be turned around and Sean rested a hand on the back of his boyfriend's neck, bringing their foreheads together, "I know, okay? I know. And I'm sorry, and I love you, and I know you care about me…and you know that stuff about us breaking up is complete bullshit because I don't know what I'd do without you and I won't let you break up with me. Okay?"

As he finished Tony looked him directly in the eye, only this time with a significantly softer expression, "I love you too; and you'd be a dirty stinking bum, that's what would happen to you." Tony stated, letting a smile crack over his crooked teeth, when Sean's face was graced with a similar smirk and a roll of the eyes, Tony knew their fight had ended and felt significantly better. He let his arms wrap around his boyfriend's waist with Sean's resting on his shoulders and leaned up slightly to place a sweet kiss on his lips.

"I guess you'll have to stay and keep me in line forever then, huh?" Sean's smile grew wider as Tony's did.

"I guess so…" And so they stayed for a few minutes, just enjoying one another's company as the sunshine danced through the curtains around them.

Yay. So, there she is! :D

Cute and fluffy enough, I hope? :)
