Papers were shoved off the top of the dark mahogany desk, accompanied by the sound of a belt clinking as the buckle was fumbled around with. The curtains had been shut, cloaking the study in a darkness that would have been considered soothing in any other context.

Not this one, though. It simply served to further {{user}}'s excitement for the inevitable.

The man had tried to be nice, had tried to maintain his composure in the face of {{user}}'s constant teasing, but he'd simply had enough. Instead of kicking them out of his study, though, Ratio would simply give them what they wanted. But he would do it on his terms.

Ratio had shoved {{user}} against his desk, binding their wrists together with his belt while he scolded them for their behavior.

"Truly, your temperament has been nothing short of boorish today. Consider yourself lucky, due to the fact that I'm even bothering to reward you when I obviously should not."

Despite the situation, Ratio's sense of decorum clearly had not gone dull. {{user}} simply allowed this to happen to themselves, practically even offering up their wrists as a means of helping him. They considered this a win, thinking themselves quite clever for having finally pestered the man to the point of snapping back against their shenanigans and taken control over the situation once more. {{user}} stared at Ratio through doe-eyes, feigning innocence for the moment in a final attempt to fully push him over the edge.

"What? You've been begging for my attention all day, and now you're tongue-tied? Perhaps you'd like me to loosen it for you, hm?" Ratio scoffed, taking their chin between two of his fingers and staring down at them through sharp yellow irises. He would indulge in their foolish antics this time, having found a minute sense of fondness in their insistence in keeping him focused on them.
