Love was nothing more than a game. It was like a game of chess.

The goal was to "capture" the king within all cost and it all depends on strategy.

And that was how romance goes, if you want to capture someone's heart, you must be willing to win no matter what. Only the winner stands on top and no one else. There will always be those who control and those who are controlled. Those who obey and those who are obeyed.

There are winners and there are losers.

But of course, all games will always have at least one or two rules in them…


A young man softly groaned on his bed as he heard the sound of his phone vibrating loudly on the bedside table. The cell phone continued to flash and vibrate violently within a quiet apartment as he rolled over to his side. He fumbled at his bedside, trying to reach for his phone.

He squinted his eyes a bit as his vision adjusted to sudden brightness of his phone to see who was calling at this hour, the sun wasn't even up yet. He raised a brow at the name on his screen then glanced over to the alarm clock.

It was 4 in the morning.

He let out a groaned softly to himself but regardless, he sat up from the bed, shivering slightly as the cool air hit his bare chest before he answer the call. "Hello?"

"Alright Len, where are you and who are you with right now?" A smooth, feminine voice questioned sternly. Len felt the edge of his lips twitch upwards.

Luka Megurine. She was young college student who is practically adored by anyone she meets. She had an aura that just made her seem like a queen and almost untouchable. Len was always up to a challenge and so far, she was the one of the more challenging ones…well, until now that is.

"What are you talking about, babe?" Len feigned innocence as he ran a hand through his hair.

"You never once came over yesterday!" Luka exclaimed through the phone. "Where did you two go? And what on earth were you doing?"

Len raised a brow as he yawned. "What in the world are you talking abo-"

"Don't lie to me!" Luka screeched angrily. "I heard you were with some teal haired slut right after school! Who is she?!"

Len winced at her high pitched tone and there was a slight pause. It was obvious she was trying to back him into a corner. "Babe…" He muttered softly. He will admit that was a pretty good attack but…

He then smirked. It was still not good enough. "That "slut"…happens to be my tutor."

"Wha- A tutor?" Luka repeated in shock. Len couldn't help but feel amused. "Yeah. My mom made me see her after my last report card." He then sighed. "Is that what you called me for?"

"W-Why haven't you told me before then?"

Looks like it's time to wrap up this charade. "Well…" He began. "I…didn't want you think of me as…some sort of idiot and appear uncool to you. I guess I was embarrassed."

He smirked as silence filled the other end and he continued. "I'm sorry. I should have told you earlier." He then leaned back against the headboard and tilted his head. "You…aren't jealous, are you?"

"Um, I..I…" Len could easily picture that pink haired woman blushing and being completely flustered on the other line and he softly snorted in amusement at how out of character she must seem. He then heard Luka clear her throat.

"A-Anyways! Your grades should go up now that someone is helping you." Luka immediately said. "I wonder what your mom would say if they didn't."

Len let out a soft laugh. "Very funny, Luka."

"But you know…" Luka then sweetly muttered. "If you needed some help, you should've just come to me. I would've done it for you. I'd do anything for you."

"Yeah. I know." He said as he picked up a strand of long teal hair from his side and twirled it between his fingers. The girl beside him slept peacefully, unaware of what was happening and Len smirked. "That's why you're the best, Luka."

Luka giggled at the other line. "Well, we'd better get some sleep for now." Len said.

"Alright."

"Good night, Luka."

"Good night…Len."

With that he ended the call. Len's smirked widened even more. Well, that was even easier than he thought.

He then heard a soft moan from beside him and the teal haired female rolled over towards him. "Len…" She tiredly yawned as her hand grabbed his arm. "Who were you talking to?"

Len smiled sweetly at her. "No one." He said. "It was no one important, Miku." He then reached out and cupped her cheek. She sighed contentedly as she nuzzled against it. He smirked once more.

Love was indeed just a game to him. Capturing girls' hearts was nothing more than a past time in his boring life and he absolutely love the thrill of winning the game. Being tied down by one person was just boring and only those who lose the game get chained down.

Len leaned down and gently kissed Miku as that devious smirk still on his lips. There was just one rule in this game and it was not to let your heart get stole.

And he was fine with that.

Because…the first ones to fall in love loses.


A girl with short blond hair snuggled comfortably into her blue hair companion's chest as he gently caressed her hair.

The two laid on the couch in complete silence while they simple stare at ceiling of his living room. It was a comfortable silence in which she can fully appreciate from time to time. It was better than wasting her breath.

Suddenly her phone rang causing the two to jump at the sudden noise. Rin sat up and picked up her phone from the coffee table. It was a message...

She raised a brow and turned to the boy next to her. "Sorry about that, Kaito but it looks like I need to go now."

"Already going?" Kaito asked. She nodded. "Yeah, it looks like my aunt is looking for me so I need to get going before she starts throwing a fit again."

She calmly walked out the living room and to the door, Kaito following behind her. She carefully put on her brown heeled boots and grabbed her red coat. Rin turned to face Kaito to say a quick good bye but was caught off guard when a soft pair of lips pressed against hers.

She blinked for a moment and kissed back. The two broke the kiss and there was a slight pause "I have to go now." She mumbled, in a voice so soft that it was almost a whisper. Kaito nodded as he gave one last peck on her lips before letting go of the blond girl.

As Rin reached out for the door, "Hey, um...Rin." She looked back at her blue haired companion as he held a certain light blue scarf. "Its cold tonight so why not wear this before you leave?" He looked nervous and Rin couldn't help but smile at how cute he seemed.

Rin nodded and softly took the scarf, she stared at it for a moment before carefully wrapping it around her neck.

Rin opened the door and smiled. "I'll see you tomorrow..." Kaito smiled gently. "Yeah." He waved and she returned the action.

With that, Rin turned and left. She walked through the street in silence as she ran a hand through her hair to fix it. She then pulled out her compact mirror and stared at it, examining her lips.

She hoped her lips didn't bruise. Kaito kissed her rather roughly and it would annoy her like hell if her lips swollen from it. It would be a little difficult to explain if they did bruise. Rin clicked her tongue when she noticed it was slightly puffy.

'Oh well.' Rin thought as she put away her compact. It's not like he would notice it anyways.

She then reached the cafe where a certain teal haired male waited. "Rin-chan!" He called with a grin when he noticed her approaching him. Rin smiled sweetly. "Hey Mikuo." She greeted cheerfully. "Did I make you wait too long?"

Mikuo shook his head. "Nah, I just arrived." He then glanced down at the blue muffler around her neck. "Is that a new scarf?"

Rin nodded. "Yeah, my aunt bought it for me. Isn't it nice?" She grnned. Mikuo smiled back and nodded. "Yeah, it looks really cute on you." Rin faked a giggle.

Romance was nothing but a pastime for Rin. It was just a game for dominance over the other.

Winner takes all and Losers takes the fall. That was her motto.

Though…this was more of a revenge game for her than anything else.

"Shall we go then?" She asked as she gently hugged his arm and leaned her head against his shoulder. Mikuo pressed his lips against her head as he murmured gently into her hair. "I love you."

Unknown to him, Rin smirked darkly as she softly replied. "I love you too..."


A/N: Heya! Its been awhile. Yes, I am back with a new story (which by the way isn't as awesome as you think with all my other story which are in desperate need of updating -_-;)

The topic might be a little...cliche to say the least but I hope you'll enjoy this nonetheless because I kinda thought about this for awhile after reading a certain quote and it made me think a lot. Anyways please tell me what you think because as I said before I have a lot of stories that haven't been updated in...months? Give or take.

I know the first part was pretty similar...okay, is really like Spice but I just thought I might as well add it since it is a story about two players after all.

Please review and fav if possible, alright? Well that's it for now so until then bye!
