Work Text:
Leona didn't set many rules for the kids in his dorm nor did he bother punishing them much if they broke the rules.
But they're always something that changes that, or someone in Leona's case, and today that's Ruggie Bucchi.
After Leona's overblot he started doing less things to leave his room messy if he could, throwing his dirty clothes in the laundry basket, tossing his wrappers in the trash, that kinda stuff.
In a rare occasion of Leona being in a better room he'd stop by Ruggie's room and give him a bonus.
Today was one of those days, expect when he knocked he got no answer.
Well that was fine, Ruggie was probably just hanging out with Kalim again.
Leona would just leave it on the bed and head back to his room.
He opened the door and headed over to Ruggie's bed, placing the cash down.
Out of the corner of his eye he could see something pink mostly hiding under Ruggie's pillow.
There wasn't any harm in just seeing what it was, just to make sure his suspensions weren't right.
He pulled out the object only to see he was right, it was a vape.
One of the very few rules Leona set was that no vape, cigarettes, or any kind of drug was allowed.
And here was Ruggie, one of the people closest to him, blatantly breaking it.
Leona wanted to crush it in his hand right then and there, but he knew he should keep it, and show Ruggie he found it.
He pocketed the vape as well as the bonus money. As he left Ruggie's room he pulled out his phone from his pocket, dialing up Ruggie's number.
"Hey what's up?" Ruggie answered casually.
"Where are you?" Leona asked, a slight growl to his voice.
"Umm I'm with Kalim right now, why?" He didn't seem to notice the anger in Leona's tone from how casual he was being.
"I need you to come back to the dorm now. Come straight to my room, I'll be waiting for you." Leona hung up after that, laying down on his bed to think of how to punish Ruggie.
There wasn't many things he could think of that would work very well for Ruggie, grounding never worked, extra cleaning doesn't mean anything, nor does cutting some of his pay.
He felt a spanking so soon after the accident was weird but he wouldn't let Ruggie off the hook anyway.
Before he could decide if that's what he wanted to do or not Ruggie's head popped into the room.
"Hey boss, what's up?" Ruggie asked, fully entering Leona's room, closing the door behind him.
"You wanna explain why I find this in your room?" Leona stood up from his bed to reveal the pink vape that was hiding in his pocket.
Ruggie's face quickly lost color, sweat forming on his face, "It's not mine, I had bought it to trade with someone else."
"Oh yeah, what were you trading for? Who is it you're trading with? How soon are you giving it to them?" Leona bombarded Ruggie with questions, an angered look on his face.
"I- well you see- uhh," The hyena struggled to find an answer.
"And if what you're saying really is true... why do all your dirty clothes wreak of smoke, as well as the battery being dead." Leona interrupted the younger, "Are you sure this isn't yours?" He asked one last time.
Ruggie thought for a moment before he sighed, deflating as he looked away. "It's mine."
"I thought so," Leona's glare sharpened.
He knew the vape was Ruggie's, but that doesn't mean Ruggie's lie wasn't a bad one.
"Sit down," The lion snapped, pointing at his bed.
Leona didn't bother waiting until Ruggie sat down, instead he headed straight towards his bathroom.
He grabbed an unopened bar of soap, running it under the sink water, lathering it up nicely.
When he came back to his room be saw Ruggie sitting on his bed, ears turned down.
A small part of Leona really wanted to back down and let this one slide but it was only a small part, and a larger part said he had to.
-
Ruggie hated getting punished, and the fact Leona had a bar of soap in his hand only made it worse.
"Open," Leona stood over Ruggie.
One time Ruggie had tried to stop getting his mouth washed out but it ended in Leona even more pissed.
Ever since he's realized it's better just to accept the punishment, unlike Jack who didn't seem to learn anything.
The second Ruggie opened his mouth the bar of soap was on his tongue, the bitterness making him cringe as Leona closed his mouth.
The lion sat down next to Ruggie, hauling him on to his lap.
Leona pulled Ruggie's tail out of the way, his arm resting on Ruggie's back while his other one reeled back in the air.
WHACK
The first hit landed right on the middle of Ruggie's butt, making him bite down harder on the soap bar.
More spanks kept landing harshly on Ruggie's backside as he squirmed weakly, trying to do anything to distract himself from the pain of the spanking and the sting of the soap.
"Ow! Leona-" Ruggie tried to start some sort of conversation to get to the scolding but Leona stopped him with a smack to his sit spots.
"Quite Ruggie, you know how this goes." Leona chided the younger.
Of course he knew, it was only the worst tactic ever created.
Leona would make the first half of the spanking silent so Ruggie could only focus on the sharp and loud spanks, before Leona would finally start scolding him.
After a few minutes Ruggie could feel the tears welling up in his eyes as he started sniffling softly.
Leona took this as the sign to start his lecture.
"I don't set many rules for you, especially since the incident I've been letting you off the hook a lot more than usual," another few smacks on the sit spots, "but maybe I shouldn't have done that."
"Why do I ban vapes or any sort of drugs from this dorm Ruggie?" He paused, taking the soap out of Ruggie's mouth to let him answer.
"Because it's bad for us and can cause us physical damage..." Ruggie repeated the line he'd heard a billion times before, maybe slightly less aggressive though.
"Exactly, it's bad fucking shit." Leona put the soap bar on the nightstand next to him before going right back to thrashing Ruggie, but now focusing more on the sit spots and thighs.
"OW! Ah-oh-owww..!" Ruggie started whimpering loudly now that the disgusting soap wasn't in his mouth anymore.
"Do you know how worried I was? Wondering if you had too much." Leona's voice got tighter as he spoke, something Ruggie quickly noticed.
"I KNOW your immune system is too fucking weak to handle even simple candle smoke for too long! ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL YOURSELF!?" Leona's whacks got harsher by each word he said.
"NO!" Ruggie's voice cracked through all the loud smacks as well as Leona's own loud voice.
"I was just- OW! I just felt tired and it made me feel- AH! Better! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" Ruggie pleaded, tears starting to fall down his face.
Leona landed five more hard smacks before sitting Ruggie upright in his lap.
"Promise me you'll never touch that shit again." Leona's voice was tight again, his eyes shining.
"I promise!! I really do promise!" Ruggie cried, covering his face.
Leona roughly pulled Ruggie into his chest, holding him tight against his body as he slowly relaxed, laying down on his bed with Ruggie in his side.
"You scared me so fucking bad..." He admitted, a few tears forming in his own eyes.
For a while there was silence accompanied with Ruggie's soft cries as he held onto Leona.
Eventually they died out, and the older felt himself drifting off but not before he heard Ruggie at his side.
"I love you..." He muttered quietly into Leona's side.
The lion turned onto his own side to hold Ruggie better.
"I love ya too." He whispered back, drifting off.
