Albaz sighed a little as he walked away from the clearing in the field to get a little quiet, the young man raising his hood as he wanted to take a little walk around the forest. He remembered a few caves nearby that had some hot springs within that would be a good place to relax. Albaz took in the sounds and kept his head down as he listened, finding peace in the sound of birds. ‘It’s been a while, but it seems like the forest has finally started to feel alive again. It’s… odd.’ He thought silently to himself as he arrived at one of the caves he had thought about, adjusting his hood and pulling it down as he started to enter, not seeing a reason to hide himself when he was alone. The cave was rather warm as he made his way in, indicative of the aforementioned spring that he had thought about. ‘Must be approaching colder days, it’s warmer here than usual. Interesting.’ He thought about it as he went deeper in, not really lingering on it as he tried to relax, not wanting to focus on the future, for now he wanted to enjoy the present. Taking a deep breath, he found himself arriving at the spring, the water steaming, and the room was the warmest point of the cave.
Nodding to himself, he started to undo the cloak he wore and let it fall to the ground near some bigger rocks, a good place to leave his stuff so he could take a small dip in the water. Looking around to ensure he was alone, he undid his pants and slid them down and took them off, the young man not really minding being in a pair of white briefs as he was alone. ‘I’ll just keep them in, just in case. If anyone tries anything, I don’t exactly want to be in that kind of situation.’ He told himself and started to approach the waters, stepping into them slowly and sighing gently as he did, the warm water enveloping his feet and legs as he made it to his knees. Albaz felt as if every worry he had in the moment had melted away, slowly sinking down to sit in the water as it came up to his neck, leaning back against the edge and shutting his eyes. ‘I can’t remember the last time I was this relaxed, but I don’t mind it.’ Albaz had been alone for a while, he had known of others wandering around but was quicker to keep to himself, after everything that had unfolded with the void, he didn’t want to quickly attach onto much of anything.
After a few moments, letting the water do it’s thing, Albaz decided to push off of the edge and push further into the water, the next step down being deeper than he could stand, and so he started to float carefully in the water, wanting to move around and get his muscles and nerves active so they could get the effect of the hot spring. Swimming towards the other side, he listened as the occasional splashes echoed along the walls of the cave, showing just how empty and massive this place was. Emerging on the other side, he took a second to catch his breath, and sat on the edge as the rocks beneath his round backside were quickly soaked as the water dripped off of him, the young man leaning back and scanning the area for a moment, curious if there was anything that might catch his eye in the moment. He blinked for a moment seeing something under the water, obscured by the smoke but he definitely could see something, and it wasn’t small. ‘Interesting… It looks like… an old machine?’ Albaz thought as he jumped back into the water and started making his way towards what he was looking at. Submerging himself, he gently opened his eyes and scanned it as he got closer.
It was similar to a golem, a bit mechanized, but definitely had the traits. Albaz gently floated in place as he examined it and started looking around as he tried to find a way to make it move, maybe move it to the surface so he doesn’t have to risk holding his breath too long. Getting an idea, he quickly returned to the surface and caught his breath, coughing a little as the temperature somewhat got to him because of it. ‘I might be able to drag him to the surface if I maneuver it correctly. Let’s see…’ he muttered softly to himself as he went back into the water and approached the golem once again, going lower to try and force him up by the feet, making a little progress, but the boy's eyes widened as he realized he wasn’t exactly light, even for him. Coughing, he quickly re-emerged on the surface and spit out the water, coughing up some water in the process, groaning as he looked down, seeing the thing had moved, but only a little. He sighed a bit but didn’t exactly feel like giving up after a single try, diving back down as he started to mess with other parts of the golem, seeing the mechanical parts somehow haven’t rusted, which amazed him even further, but he wouldn’t have long to think about it as the arm he messed with was just as heavy, and Albaz panicked when it started pushing him against the wall of the spring, making him struggle a little as he tried not breathing in.
In his struggles, Albaz kicked around, and managed to hit a switch on the golem’s side, which seemed to make it spring to life as Albaz started coughing. A pair of red, mechanical eyes looked at Albaz and scanned him, and as soon as it sensed distress, it quickly took Albaz and carried him to the surface, emerging with Albaz and gently lying him on the rocks to the side, the young man gasping and coughing as he felt a mechanical hand rubbing his stomach, helping ease the pain of the water as he groaned. “O-ow…” he groaned weakly for a second as the golem looked at him, and in that moment, Albaz panicked as he wasn’t expecting what came next. “Are you okay, young one?” The golem spoke, and Albaz felt his heart skip as his eyes widened, quickly sitting up and backing away as he got the last bit of water out of his system. “Y-you just talked?!” He was bewildered by the revelation as he looked at the mechanical golem, his serious demeanor quickly shifting when this happened.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you.” The golem said as it managed to force itself out of the water. “Are you alone? What happened?” It continued to question Albaz, as if he was genuinely concerned for the boy as he approached. “How can you talk?! What are you?” Albaz questioned in surprise as his eyes focused on the movements, it felt way too natural even for a machine/golem. It was clear Albaz wanted an answer, and the golem was stubborn, wanting to ensure he wasn’t hurt.
“Please, calm down. If you’re hurt, I must ensure you recover. And if you’re alone, I want to make sure things are fine…” the golem clearly didn’t have the answers Albaz wanted, but that didn’t stop the boy from trying to understand. “W-well, until you can explain, stay back.” He was mostly taken by surprise assuming this was a trick of an enemy, but watching the golem started to raise that into question as he still approached. The golem knelt down and rested a firm hand on the young man’s shoulder. “Look at me. I am a gear golem, and I am here to aid those lost or hurt. I know not what you seek, but I’m trying to help.” He explained before watching as Albaz moved his hand forcefully, the golem a bit frustrated now as he shook his head. From the kneeling position, Albaz was a bit confused when he raised a knee.
For a moment, Albaz had forgotten he was only in a pair of briefs, but he didn’t seem to worry about that as he shrunk down in surprise when he saw the Golems gaze get stern, a firmness on his face as it took hold of the young man’s arm. “Please, calm down. If you don’t, I’ll have to punish you.” The last bit sounded a bit hazy, seemingly from his time submerged and turned off that made his functionality all weird, Albaz widening his eyes at that. Before Albaz could respond, however, the golem took hold of him and quickly, but surprisingly gently, shifted the smaller being over the upturned knee, Albaz gasping as his face slowly turned pink from embarrassment as the golem got a look at his backside. In clearer sight, it was noticeable that Albaz had a rather chubby, shapely backside that was well rounded, and was hidden away usually by a pair of looser fitting pants. It made sense why he wore them if he wished to hide that. But at that moment, Albaz wasn’t thinking about it as he tried to pull away. “W-wait!” He tried to command, but was caught off guard when a firm hand landed across his chubby backside, flattening his cheeks down against the golems hand before popping back out into a jiggle, the briefs holding his tanned backside well as the golem landed another, Albaz noting his hand wasn’t metallic or rocky, it seemed to be more cushioned.
Albaz yelped, whining quietly in embarrassment as he realized the sound was being echoed right through the cave, much to his chagrin as another slap connected with his plump backside, making it wobble around as the golem held him firmly, but not to tightly, around the waist, slap after slap connecting as he started to wiggle a bit and try and force himself free. “N-no! Stop this!” He tried to protest, but in an attempt to be demanding, it only came across as whiny and embarrassed as the man’s hand continued to smack down steadily, covering a good portion of his backside with a single slap, but still just enough room to have to move around still. “I’m trying to help, but you’ve chosen to attack instead.” He scolded the boy suddenly which made Albaz gasp. “So until I feel you’ve learned your lesson, I won’t stop.” He told the boy as his bubbly tan bottom jiggled and bounced inside his undies, the fabric stretched a little so he could see some color already growing across the boy's cheeks. Albaz just looked at the ground and whimpered faintly as the sting was foreign to him, having been alone so long he wasn’t familiar with something like that. But he didn’t think twice about it as he realized the golems' intent.
Albaz looked back with a gasp as he felt the waistband of his undies being taken hold of, but before he could say anything in form of protest, his briefs came down to bundle down at his ankles, his chubby bottom wobbling free as it sported a few good spots of red, showing the golems handiwork, but Albaz couldn’t really fight him on it, especially now. Embarrassed and sore, the boy sniffled and yelped as another smack landed, his cheeks flattening and popping out in a jiggle fashion, rippling more noticeably now that the fabric wasn’t holding them in place, the golem nodded gently as he seemed to find the result sufficient. “What are you being punished for, young dragon?” He scolded as his firm hand continued to land, not giving the boy much room to speak, but he still wanted to ensure the lesson stuck with or without an answer. Albaz sniffled at that as he teared up, despite the long period it’s been, something about that seemed to get the boy going as the tears rolled down his face. He couldn’t bring himself to answer though as he shut his eyes and whimpered.
“The answer I wished to hear was that it was for your behavior, so you understand?” The golem continued to speak, his hand striking firmer to get the boy's attention as it started smacking near his thighs and sit spots, making the boy squeak and howl softly as he let out a sob. “I-I’m sorry! Please!” He got out through he yelps as he started to cry, the golem realizing that Albaz wasn’t quite familiar with this as he gently nodded, but had to keep himself firm for the boy’s sake. Raising his knee a little, his hand crashed down a bit harder, making each cheek dance and bounce around as he cried out, the boys sobs getting louder with each strike as he had stopped fighting and lied limply, occasionally kicking his feet as his chubby rear took the spanking, the golem glad to see he was calming into it as he punished. Slowing down, the smacks continued but at a slower pace. “Answer my question, young one…” he remained firm, but his voice was almost tender.
“I-I’m sorry…” he kept saying as he let his tears flow, the sting in his bottom too much for him as he cried. “I-I won’t attack you!” He couldn’t form much in the way of sentences, but the golem got the idea as he tightened his hold on his waist. “Good. Now take the remainder and we will finish, young one.” He told him gently, before his hand landed sharply across each cheek twice, Albus crying louder as he started bawling, the next two strikes hitting his sit spots, with one final one right to the center of his big bottom, making it wobble rapidly, a nice shade of red. Albaz had fallen limp and blubbered over the golem's knee, not even aware it ended due to the feeling, but was surprised when the golem gently picked him up. Albaz had expected to just be left alone and dropped there, not familiar with this feeling as he was lifted, his tear streaked face now looking right at the golem, who gently wiped the boy's tears. “No need for those, it’s okay. All is forgiven.” He told the boy, his voice still having that same tenderness as before.
Albaz didn’t know what came over him, but something about that touched him as he broke down sobbing more as he latched onto the golem, the being gently rocking him softly as he gently rubbed the boy’s bottom. Albaz didn’t need to say anything, the golem could catch the hint pretty easily. “Let it out. I’m here for you.” At that moment, Albaz had found someone he could trust. The boy kept his face buried as he cried, slowly calming down as he wiggled in the golems hold, his chubby bottom still burning like crazy. When the crying stopped, the golem pulled him away softly and gently redressed the boy, watching him wince and reach back to rub his bottom. “You’re alone, aren’t you?” He asked, Albaz looking away tearfully at the question, that was all the answer the golem needed. Albaz didn’t know what to expect, but feeling the golem take his hand in his own, he looked at him confused, standing there quite a bit smaller than the golem, like a well punished child to a father. “W-wha…?”
“I can stay with you, if you wish.” Golem explained, not holding too tightly to give Albaz the choice. The dragon boy looked aside for a moment, unsure what to say. The golem was awaiting a vocal response, but when he felt the boy lean into his side some. A warmer expression formed on the golems face as he gently reached down and scooped Albaz into his arms, he knew he had his answer as he started walking Albaz over to his clothes. Albaz didn’t know it yet, but this would be the start of a better life for him. But for now, he just wanted to get the focus off his stinging bottom as he rested his head on the golem man’s shoulder.
