How I Met Your Mother (one shots)

3: Slap Bet (Marshall Eriksen)

"Let's all go to the Willowbrook Mall! I have five free massages and one nose trim—" Barney said while eyeing Marshall.

"—Ehem, I hope you know who you are." Barney chuckled and Marshall looked down.

"It's in a mall? I-I don't feel like going to the mall." The gang stopped "Why? It's not like you got married at the mall." You joked and the gang laughed.

"Or or, it's not like you've done porno at the mall." Barney added and Robin awkwardly smiled. "I just don't like malls, that's it." Robin explained.

"So? Robin hate malls, let's just respect her privacy." Ted said and they all nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, Robin and Ted decided to stroll at the Central Park so you invited the rest of the gant to your apartment.

"We all have weird secrets." Lily commented "and the more you hide them just makes the other person feel the urge to know it." You added.

"I like for the person to keep their secret for awhile so that when it comes out the 'oh moment' will be worth it." Barney explained "Like how Marshall is afraid of sasquatch." Lily added and Marshall sighed "I'm not afraid, I just think that we should all be alert."

"Do you think the reason why Robin hates malls is because she's done porno and the setting is in a mall?" Barney chuckled.

"Who would have sex at the mall?" You asked and rolled your eyes.

"Or more like what (Y/n) said earlier, she got married at the mall." Marshall added. "Married at the mall? that's what Canadians do? god, that place is a mess." Barney rolled his eyes.

"Wanna bet?" he added. "$20,000 says it's porn."

"I don't have $20,000." Marshall stared at Barney. "Or you could do the ultimate wager: The Slap Bet." Lily excitedly said.

"I wanna be the slap bet commisioner!" You volunteered and Lily supported you "Let's give (Y/n) here a chance since I'm the last commisioner."

"Being a slap bet commisioner is an honour, it should be unbiased." Barney explained while staring at you seriously "It is an honour you will take to your grave and on your tombstone it will read '(Y/n) (L/n), a caring friend, slap bet commisioner'."

"No worries, we'll start now."

•

Marshall won the slap bet, making Barney choose between getting 10 slaps right now or 5 slaps that can be doled out from here to eternity, Barney picked 5 slaps.

"Feeling so tough now huh Barney." You teased and he smirked.

"Another Slap Bet!" Barney Announced. "5 slaps back to Marshall says (Y/n) will never date Marshall."

—before you got into the squad, Marshall himself asked you to be his girlfriend, you aren't really in for a serious relationship that time so you told him to wait.—

"Another 5 slaps for you if (Y/n) answered Marshall." Ted said "And that's a very dangerous idea."

"Deal." Barney said and adjust his tie.

You're really sure of your feelings that you wanna be with Marshall, eversince he tried to asked you out, he's been patiently waiting for you to answer him.

You laughed "And the 5 slaps goes to—"

"Barney Stinson, I'm sorry, I'm the Slap Bet Commisioner and this Commisioner wants to date Marshall." You added and Barney put on a terrified face.

"Is that true?" Marshall's face lit up "Of course Marshall, you've been very patient."

Marshall smiled and Barney ran away.
