The Rose Effect

Chapter 40 The Punishment

  "I had given you a warning and you had ignored it." The voice replied firmly.

Cuphead shook he didn't the strong hand pressing firmly against his back. The sensation slowly creeped against his skin.

"For that? You shall be punished." The voice said.

The word punished seemed to sent shivers down his spine, what was this person going to do to him? Cuphead gasped as he felt his nightgown being lifted up a cold breeze swept under him making him hiss and a horrific relocation began setting in. He was wearing no underwears under his nightgown. Cuphead flushed red only wanting to cover himself. He feared for what was to happen.

SLAP!

Cuphead yelped, did he? Oh please no. Cuphead couldn't really understand what was going on, did is person just slap-; there wasn't time to think as he was pulled over a pair of knees and then the true horror began to sink in. Cuphead shook.

"N-no please." Cuphead choked out.

"You're asking for mercy now? After I specifically told you not to leave and you disobeyed me. For that you deserve a fitting punishment." The tall die headed male said.

Cuphead tried to thrash but as soon as he began.

WACK!

Cuphead yelped. That was right he was getting a spanking, Cuphead cried out in pain.

SMACK!

SMACK!

SMACK!

Cuphead cried out as he thrashed around and bit his lip. He didn't want to cry, not in front of him. Cuphead breathed in sharply as another hit had him shaking, the next three slaps made Cuphead whimper but he refused to cry. He didn't want to give him that satisfaction of seeing him cry. The next two had him hissing in pain, this figure had hit the softness of his bottom and his thighs everytime. The sensation of stinging and burning wracked his body as the small toon choked on air trying to take the next hit. The next hit Cuphead choked on air again only to be mortified that it formed into a sob. A dark chuckle came from the tall man as he spoke.

"Good boy.~" He purred.

Cuphead shook as the next two hits had him sobbing fully. The next slap had the boy at a howl. The sensation felt like he was on fire, it hurt so bad. Hearing the figure reply with 'good boy' made the small boy cry harder. The stinging pain was so painful and Cuphead hated how he begged the figure to stop.

"P-please, s-stop I-I'm so-sorry." Cuphead cried.

There was another slap and Cuphead bawled kicking and thrashing, his bottom was as red as his straw. He couldn't help but shiver as a wave of pain hit his bottom.

"I-I'm sorry! I-I'm so s-sorry! I'm so s-sorry!" Cuphead wailed as he hiccuped.

"Shh." The voice hushed lifting Cuphead up.

The small cup whimpered as he hiccuped and shuttered as the tall die headed man whipped his tears away and soothingly spoke to him. It was almost unnatural due to the situation a few minutes aga but nevertheless it was actually comforting.

"Shh it's all over." He said softly, his voice was now calm and soothing; alluring like the night rain no longer having that ferm and scary demeanor.

Cuphead hiccuped and sniffed trying to hold back another sob.

"Shh it's all over, you need to understand that I had to do that,you ran away and could have gotten hurt. " The tall die man said.

Cuphead choked back a sob as he was embraced in a gentle hug. It was so strange, it was comforting yet unnerving too.

"People will try to hurt you, take you away, do terrible things to you. I wouldn't forgive myself if that ever happened to you. Do you understand me?" The six headed dice man said.

The hug had tightened a bit causing Cuphead to yelp and shiver. He shuttered and whimpered as he sniffed.

"Y-yes?" Cuphead hiccuped as he shook within the hold.

"Good boy~." The man purred.

The was a moment of silence as the two never broke out of the hug and Cuphead couldn't help but snuggle into the hug and press his face against the die figure's chest. Cuphead shot out of bed pretty groggy and looked around a bit. Mugman was gone and in his place was a note. It read that he had gotten up early and took a shower before getting breakfast for the two of them. Cuphead slowly got out of bed and headed into the bathroom to brush his teeth. He was still sleepy but he knew he needed to get up or he would have slept the whole day away. That was no lie as Mugman had found him in his room sleeping and was not impressed when Cuphead told him that he had skipped school and instead slept for the whole day.

While he was brushing his teeth he heard his room door creak open. Cuphead assumed that it was his brother and continued with the task at hand. However Mugman would normally say good morning and such so why was Mugman being so quiet. Cuphead finished brushing and walked out of the bathroom to see his brother in his phone. Was he skipping school today? Cuphead opened his mouth to speak and replied softly.

"Good m-morning."

Mugman looked up at his brother and smiled.

"Good morning Cuphead, did you sleep well?" Mugman asked.

Cuphead nodded.

"Good." Mugman beamed.

Cuphead smiled and rubbed the back of his arm.

"You hungry?" Mugman asked.

"A-a little." Cuphead confessed

"Hey just one more day of this and you can go home." Mugman said standing up.

Cuphead seemed happy to hear that, happy that he would soon return home. The two headed out of the hospital room and down towards the cafeteria.
