Beginner's Luck.
In which Ichigo realizes that he's unluckier than most.
His eyes shifted in front of him to seek out any sign from his enemy.
Sweat began to gather in his palms and the cards felt like hot coals in his hands. All he needed was that God damned queen and this game was history!
Just one queen and then his girlfriend's eyes would lose that cursed self satisfied glint and then-
"Ichigo-kun."
He looked up and nodded as he reached over to grab a card from the deck.
Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Pleas-
"VICTORY IS MINE!!" Ichigo screamed as he slammed his hand down onto the green felt covered table, "A straight flush!!" Orihime jumped in surprise as her boyfriend leapt up and pointed at her astonished expression.
"Now you," Ichigo smirked lecherously, "Off with your pants."
Orihime smiled sweetly.
Ichigo's expression swiftly fell as she laid down her five cards gracefully.
"Royal flush," she charmingly chimed and Ichigo blinked disbelievingly. He dove for the cards and saw that it was true: Ace, King, Queen, Jack, and a 10.
"Holy…" Ichigo slammed his fist down onto the table once more, his eyes glaring at his girlfriend in accusation, "You cheated somehow!!! You can't possibly win five poker games IN A ROW!! You never played before!!!"
Orihime shrugged, "Beginner's luck?"
Ichigo growled, still incredulously denying the whole debacle. The calm woman sitting at the table just smiled and crossed her arms across her chest.
Smiling sinisterly, she smoothly demanded, "Now you, off with your pants."
