Day 17 of the wheel of whump!!
Today's prompt is:
Trembling with fear
-----
The boy's eyes widened, and his hands shook as he approached Ivan, dropping to the his knees before him and ducking his head.
"Hey- Kid? What's going on?"
"I- It's... It's been bad, M- Master, it's- It must be punished-"
An expression of horror crossed Ivan's face, and he shook his head, before realising that the boy wasn't looking. "No, kid, that's not..." He sighed. "That's not how things work around here, 'kay? No one's gonna get punished for anything."
"But... But, Master, it was..."
"There's no need to call me 'Master'. I'm just a guy, alright? I'm not your master. So, tell me what happened."
The boy's hands still trembled, and he held them behind his back to hide this. "It... it took food, without... without permission. Sir."
Ivan reached out and placed a hand on the kid's shoulder. "Look at me." He did. "You can take food from the kitchen whenever you need it. There's no problem with you doing that." At the boy's confused expression, he continued, "I'm not going to hurt you for fulfilling a basic human need."
"You... You're not?" And he sounded so utterly exhausted that Ivan didn't know what to do. So he simply nodded.
"I'm not, kid, I promise. You're always gonna be safe with me."

BloodHound and Fuse have accidentally put each others pants on and didn’t notice till they were on the drop ship. They ended up having to participate like that

I really really like that despite rebirth she gets trapped and overpowered and desperate; it feels realer somehow.
