You Slap Him
Prologue: Buzz. Buzz. You couldn’t take it anymore, but as soon as you snapped your head in the fly’s direction, it flew away. You spotted a fly buzzing near his head and quickly swatted at it, but in doing so, your hand smacked his cheek with a crisp slap.

- Riddle froze. His eyes were wide, while his face was going red – partly from shock, partly from the sting.
- “D-Did you just… slap me?!” His voice cracked.
- “Yes…I mean, not you! That was an accident. There was a fly near your face.
- Riddle sighed and crossed his arms. “That is… hardly an excuse! Be more careful next time!”
- But for the rest of the day, he kept touching his cheek with a huff. That was one of the most embarrassing moments possible.
- Leona’s eyes snapped open with a glare sharp enough to make anyone sweat. He sat up on the grass.
- “…Did you just hit me?” His tone was low and dangerous.
- “I…sorry….no…fly…”
- Noticing your nervousness, he groaned. “You better be glad you’re my herbivore, or I’d have your hand for dinner.”
- Leona lay back down and rolled over, turning his back to you. His tail flicked, and while he was irritated, he teased you about ‘attacking’ royalty.
- Azul jerked back dramatically, and his hand flew to his cheek.
- “Y-You struck me?! In the middle of a business conversation?!”
- You panicked and raised your hands in defense. “No! It was…a fly. I swatted it.”
- He narrowed his eyes. Were you trying to get him back for something? “…A fly, you say?”
- Floyd laughed, and Jade covered his mouth to stifle a chuckle. Azul sulked and threatened to add your ‘attack’ to your debt ledger.
- Kalim gasped in shock, pouting for a moment. His mind goes through scenarios of what he said or did to deserve it.
- Then, he laughed so loud it startled everyone. “WHOA! You’ve got a strong arm, MC!”
- You frantically apologized, “It was a fly! I’m so sorry….sorry!”
- But he waved it off. “Don’t worry about it! That fly’s gotta be gone for good after that!”
- He even joked about hiring you as his official fly swatter.
- Vil blinked at you slowly. How dare you touch his precious face? He gave you a look so sharp you regret being born.
- “Did you just…slap me? On my face? Do you have any idea the grueling skincare routine I have to go through to maintain my perfect skin?”
- You pushed out a sorry, but you couldn’t say anything else. Tears formed in your eyes as you said, “Fly…I swatted…”
- He sighed deeply and pinched the bridge of his nose. “Unbelievable. To think you hit my face due to a pest.”
- Throughout the day, Vil kept checking his skin for signs of bruising or any other marks. He will make a mental note to maintain distance when his attention is elsewhere.
- Idia yelped like you were the main boss who dealt him 1,000,000 damage and instantly K.O.ed him.
- “Wha?! H-HELLO?? Did I walk down some hidden route where you turn violent?!” What had he done to deserve that?
- “I’m so sorry! A fly was hiding behind his hair, and I meant to hit it…not your face.” Though you felt bad, his surprise Pikachu was too cute, and you had to hold back a smile.
- “Uh… note to self: never sit next to (y/n) unarmed… they’re lethal.”
- He later brags in-game about surviving an IRL PvP.
- The sound of the slap echoed endlessly. The world went silent, and even shadows held their breath.
- He slowly turned to you like a villain in a horror movie, turning their head with a soft creaking sound. His expression was unreadable. “Child of Man. Did you just…strike me?”
- You almost stumbled backwards. Was this the end for you? You were ready to bawl your eyes out.
- But to your horror, he softly chuckled. “How bold. Few have the courage to lay a finger on me, let alone strike me.”
- He was not angry…at all; in fact, Malleus found it amusing and charming. Also, he was secretly pleased that you touched him.
