Kiss With a Fist

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters from Nothing Much to Do/Much Ado About Nothing.

A/N: This story is set in a universe where everything happens except Balthazar and Pedro getting together. The chapters will not take place in chronological order, so don't think you've missed anything if chapters don't match up with the ones before. Also, there'll be mention of a major character death, so yeah, there's that warning. Hope everyone enjoys this - I'll try to update as often as possible!

I know this is super short, but I had no idea what I wanted to write for Ben. To keep the order of the story, I just drew some inspiration from the newest VOX POPS 2 video.


"Claudio, she's hitting me!" My plaintive cry falls on deaf ears. Ursula and Hero are filming and pointedly not looking at me and Beatrice. Claudio is busy staring at the two girls. They'll all be sorry for ignoring me when I'm lying on the ground in a bloody pulp. Damn Beatrice and her surprisingly strong arms.

I turn my thoughts back to the fight, and I start slapping until I gain the upper hand. Haha! I victoriously drive the beast back with my Herculean strength and the ferocity of a warrior. That'll show her.

She stops fighting to catch her breath. Guess we know who the victor is then. Me! This guy! I turn to Claudio, expecting a thumbs up or congratulatory hug for my success. He's still staring at Hero and Ursula. What's so interesting about them? I just vanquished a blight on the face of humanity.

"Gah!" Beatrice hits me while my back is turned. Typical, Just so typical. She strikes again. Alright, time to end this.

I shove her once. Twice. Right in the boobs… Today is the day I might die. Right here, right now. I doubt all these witnesses will stop Beatrice from lobbing my head off with a karate chop.

Instead, she just laughs and runs farther away. She's laughing. Why? I just touched (shoved) her boobs. Where's the righteous anger?

But god, she's beautiful when she laughs.

I follow her. Can't let the enemy get away.
