SLAP!

//Your POV//

The stinging pain erupted like a hotdog exploding in a microwave.

I clenched my burning cheek.

"Y/n!" Flug got up from the floor, where I pushed him to.

He moved my hand from my cheek and inspected it.

"It m-may swell but the w-worst you can get is a bruise that'll last for at l-least 1 or 2 weeks. H-How is your mouth?"

"It's fine. Thanks, Doc."

Black Hat stayed silent, but I paid no attention to him.

I could see Demencia glaring at Me and him, shocked.

505 looked really scared and was hiding behind Dem.

"Y/n..I'm so, so, so, s-s-sorry," Flug apologized.

"It's alright."

It wasn't alright though.

I wasn't mad at him, how could I be?

I was mad at Black Hat, for trying to hit him, forget about the fact that he hit me since that was my own doing.

I wanted to keep my mouth closed, but I couldn't knowing that this might happen again or has happened before.

"Flug, You should never let anyone hurt you."

"Well th-there's r-really nothing I can do about i-it. A-also, c-c-can we not talk about this in front of b-boss?"

"No. I want him to hear this. You shouldn't have to stand there and take it, it's just not right. Nobody should be treated like that."

My back faced Black Hat, so I didn't even know what kind of face he was making, or if he was preparing to kill me.

I had no idea where all this scorching determination sprouted from, it wasn't like me at all.

"O-Okay," He stuttered.

I looked over my shoulder at Black Hat.

I gave him a cold glare.

"Nobody."

His face looked shocked but he didn't speak.

"Bye, guys. I had fun today," I nodded to the others and walked off.

I was really pissed off, to say the least.

//Black Hat's POV//

The way Y/n acted just then...it made me feel like I was talking to another person.

She barely flinched when I slapped her.

That wasn't even intentional, the fool jumped in the way!

She was in a hurry to leave after that, but I could tell what was bothering her.

She kept thinking that she runs her mouth too much..and she was right!

Y/n was lucky that I was tired and had no energy to slam her into bedrock for the way she spoke to me.

'Or maybe..I didn't want to do it? No, That's nonsense.'

I was doubting myself over everything since I met her.

Soon, we all went back to the manor and everyone went to bed early, saying "it was a long day" despite them only going to the mall.

They were all lying, it was definitely because of what happened at the mall.

I couldn't sleep, so I tried working on paperwork, but still couldn't stop thinking about Y/n.

'What the hell is wrong with you??' I kept asking myself, 'Do I...feel bad?'

I kept contemplating if I really did but every time I concluded that I did, I doubted myself, told myself I was too evil for this.

"Why. Can't. I. Work," I spoke every time I hit my forehead on my desk.

I got a splitting headache from hitting my head on the desk, which made me even more frustrated.

"What the fuck did this girl do to me..?"

I groaned and tried to go back to work.

//Your POV//

I pressed the frozen pees I got from room service against my cheek.

"Fuck this hurts..." I whined.

As Flug said, it swelled 15 minutes after he hit me.

I took some medicine that made it feel a little better and helped the swelling but it didn't work entirely.

'I can't believe the bastard tried to hurt Flug," I was still worked up about that.

I mean- who could hurt such a sweet and innocent bean?

No one, I hope.

I took my out my phone and texted him.

(Your texts are in italics and Flug's are in bold)

-you okay?

-yeah. how's your cheek?

-it's fine. Just wanted to make sure your asshole boss didn't destroy you.

-meh worse could've happened today

-oh ho so r u interviewing me now?

-jokes aside, wise ass, how can you put up with this abuse?

-🤷‍♂️

-I honestly don't know. hey, at least I'm still alive.

-I guess that's true.

-I'm tied af from today.

-yeah, I had fun, except for later.

-thanks for doing that for Demencia, she was really happy.

-no prob.

-well, I'm sleepy so gn, y/n

-night, Flug.

-Tyler

-???

-that's my first name. Just call me Tyler when it's only the two of us.

-oh okay. Take 2: Night, Tyler.

-lmao, night.

I still couldn't sleep after finishing texting with Tyler.

I looked at the clock on my phone and it was 10 PM.

I took out my book from the book store and started reading, escaping reality once again.
