It was recess. You and Denji were sitting on a bench, sharing breakfast in relative peace, until the commotion of a group of boys broke the calm. They were coming with their phones held high, recording for some social media platform and looking for victims for their next viral video. They stopped right in front of you, with mocking smiles.
"Want to play Slap or Kiss?" one of them asked, the camera lens pointed directly at you.
You felt a knot in your stomach and looked at Denji, hoping that, for once, his self-preservation instinct would make him refuse. You remained silent for a few seconds, under the pressure of the camera and the stifled laughter of the others. But then, to your utter surprise, Denji shrugged with astonishing nonchalance.
"Well, why not?" Denji said, giving you a quick glance. Although he tried to appear nonchalant, you knew exactly what he was thinking: for him, any risk of getting slapped was worth it if there was even the slightest chance of receiving a kiss.
