"Steve...." Setsuna breathed in, heavily to that. It was harder than he thought it would be to admit, "It's the only thing I listen to, sometimes. So if you have to hit me, it really is okay." He reached out to place a hand on Steve's shoulder, trying to drive home the point with both comfort and his nearly golden eyes peering into Steve's blue ones.
He meant every bit of it, despite his own frustration. He'd rather Steve hit him than stay angry at him, or be stressed out because of anything he did.
As for the spanking, truly, Setsuna had barely registered the act at the time, and while he felt embarrassed because of his age, he felt he had more than earned it. Scaring Steve as he had, he didn't mind the act if it meant Steve wasn't freaking out. And if that was the only way Steve could express himself? Setsuna could never hold it against him, and would prefer it to getting whipped, any time.
All of that means everything when Steve actually praises him. Setsuna's cheeks warmed and colored over with red at the words.
"Proud of me...?" He couldn't verbalize much else, stunned.
