"How do you mean we lost? They withdrawn!" Kirihara yelled at the employee who was managing their card game. Ryoma was silent, he just stared at the table in his usual cool manner. "You lost, if you want to play again bet more money." employee hissed, not being amused by two boys.
"It's fine Akaya. We will win on something else. Cards obviously aren't our thing." Ryoma said trying to calm down his lover who was once again losing self-control.
"You stealing assholes, when I-.". but they will never know what will Kirihara do to them because Ryoma pulled him away.
"Hey, what are you doing!" Kirihara hissed at younger boy. Ryoma smirked "Tell me, my dearest. If you go into your devil mode now, what do you think they'll do? Hand us the money then call the police or just call security to kick us out?"
Akaya narrowed his eyebrows, musing over Echizen's words. Little punk was right, as always. They kicked them out from the Prom dance because of his lack of self-control. Well, it wasn't Akaya's fault that some guy tried to hump his ochibi.
That time Ryoma was laughing, laughing at his lover how jealous and stupid he was. He proceeded to buy his stupid Ponta and casually forgot about the Prom, leaving Kirihara wondering.
"Well...Echizen, we are lost half of what we earned yesterday, at this rate we won't be able to pay bills." he muttered.
Strangely enough, Ryoma didn't despair, he looked confident "As long as we're together, we will find a way. They'll never take our house."
...
But things weren't as easy as Ryoma put them, they were losing again. And again. Suddenly all of yesterday's income was gone and even the confident Echizen was left speechless.
"I swear I will kill them, we won last one. Cube was in the red space,we shifted to the red one moment before it stopped that's not illegal." Kirihara was yelling, pissed off.
Ryoma didn't even try to stop him this time, he only shut his eyes and listened to sounds of his lover breaking stuff around and random people screaming.
"You are?" Policeman asked.
Black haired boy with hazel eyes sighed "Echizen Ryoma, I'm here to pick up my lover."
Policeman eyed him suspiciously, his lover? That monstrous,vile creature with seaweed hair was gay?
"He is to spend the night here, we had to restrain him from attacking us. Also, casino is suing him, he made quite the damage there."
Ryoma fixed his hat "I know. But can't he go home? I will take care of him."
"It's not the rule but we're already over-crowded so I suppose you could. Can you guarantee he is stable?" Policeman asked raising his eyebrows.
"He is. This is the first time something like that happened." Ryoma lied.
"Alright."
... ... ...
"I'm sorry, ochibi." Kirihara muttered.
"..."
"Ryoma?"
"..."
"Love?"
"..."
"I overreacted. I'm really sorry."
"Overreacted is the word if you put it lightly." Echizen remarked, putting hands in his pockets. Kirihara really did feel guilty, not only did he act like a complete vile but he also ruined their chances of keeping their house. Sometimes he wondered how was Ryoma putting up with him and his sudden violent outbursts? He was one tough thing to handle and he believed no one except Ryoma could be cool and collected enough to handle him without problems...well, major problems.
"Did I...hurt anyone?" Kirihara asked hoping for negative answer.
Period when he enjoyed hurting others for his amusement was long over and ever since his beloved defeated him and proved to him what was actually worthy, he changed and wanted to prove that to everyone.
"Not really. You just made 13,000 bucks worth damage."
"I'm sorry."
"I know."
"House...mhm...money need... Need...money.."
Kirihara sat on his bed not being able to sleep. He shifted his gaze away from Ryoma who was murmuring incoherent things in his sleep but Akaya could interpret words 'money' and 'our house' and it made him feel guilty, so guilty.
"Ryoma?" he called. Other boy was tightly sleeping, covers wrapped around his small, delicate body. Kirihara sighed shaking him, he couldn't bear the fact that they'll lose their house any longer. "Mhm...Akaya?" Ryoma called sleepily. "What time is it?" he asked when Kirihara shook him again.
"It doesn't matter. Dress up, we're going to Shibuya's biggest casino. We have to earn money to pay the bills." Akaya insisted.
"It's early...besides we will need a whole day to buck in."
"Come on Echizen, I'm trying to make up for what I did."
Ryoma rubbed his sleepy eyes, and stood up realizing his lover was serious about this. He didn't want to hurt Kirihara by his nonchalance.
...
"Red." Kirihara yelled placing coins on the red side. Wheel kept on spinning and it seemed like it will stop on black so Kirihara again changed his bet. "It will be red." Ryoma said his perceptive eyes catching it seconds before it stopped spinning. "Too late." Employee said and took their coins.
Before Kirihara could explode in another violent outburst Ryoma pulled his arm in gentle, comforting way.
They walked towards the vending machine and bought juice.
"What is that? Is that guy for real?" young girl brushed past them and run towards the crowd that seemed to grow bigger with each passing moment. Kirihara looked curiously while Ryoma sipped his Ponta.
"Come on ochibi." his lover pulled his arm and dragged him to where crowd was. They pushed their was trough people to stop before a card table. Two guys were playing with insanely huge bets. Ryoma saw familiar face and wanted to turn and ran in opposite direction. "Look at his coins, there are 10,000 each." Kirihara gasped gaining attention of wealthy man.
Atobe was quite surprised to see the same boy that caught his interest two days ago. Ryoma greeted him with cold look, while he smirked.
"You." Atobe called employee. "Yes, sir?" he replied.
'This society is so wrong, they address him as sir just because he has money.' Ryoma thought.
"How much is Ore-sama losing?" Atobe asked twirling his hair.
"Three hundred thousands sir."
Kirihara gasped, the same as many other spectators did.
"Perhaps someone would like to help Ore-sama and bring him luck?" Atobe asked leaning in his chair and stretching his arm in inviting manner as if he was about to bestow great honor upon someone while choosing him.
Some of the girls giggled while other player was shocked. Why is Atobe turning everything into a festival of his vanity?
"Would you mind?" he called Ryoma. Kirihara looked to his lover surprised that Atobe picked him.
"I don't think so." Ryoma replied coolly. "Echizen, why don't you try? It's not like we're lose anything." Kirihara urged. He knew them two will never be able to just bet dozen of golden coins like that, so he wanted Echizen to try that.
"Come, Ore-sama doesn't like to wait."
Ryoma glared at Akaya who should be on his side and made his way trough people to sit next to Atobe.
"Would you like something to drink?" Atobe asked holding glass of champagne and drinking elegantly. "No thanks, I'm fine." Ryoma answered shortly observing the table. Cards weren't his favorite game. He couldn't help but to notice difference between himself and Atobe. Ryoma was cautious, yes he was bold and confident but he would never just put such huge amount and risk it without any strong chance of victory. It was so frustrating for him to see how this young man just bets these coins while half of it would be enough to save Ryoma and Kirihara's little paradise.
"So..." Atobe started when employee shared first card. "We need ace." he added looked at the card.
"Uhm...These won't work." Ryoma said pointing on small numbers cards beheld in Atobe's hands.
"You're right. Ore-sama lost again." Atobe exclaimed losing another set of 10,000 worth each coins.
"Sorry." Ryoma replied.
Atobe smirked, seemingly amused at younger boy's answer. "Ore-sama assumes card games aren't your thing? Dice perhaps?"
"You could say so."
Atobe raised his eyebrow calling another employee with his finger. He whispered something in his ear and judging my man's expression it was something either shocking or huge.
"Alright sir." he stuttered a bit.
"Come." Atobe stood up gazing at Ryoma.
"But-."."You said you liked dice aah?"
Ryoma walked after him turning his head to find Kirihara but he couldn't catch a sight of him in the crowd.
After few minutes he found himself in front of a new dice table and pompous Atobe on his right.
"Just about now..." he mused which confused Ryoma.
"What?" but before Atobe could reply Ryoma shockingly turned.
"ATOBE! ATOBE! ATOBE! ATOBE!"
That freaking guy had his own fan club.
"Mr. Atobe you need to sign here, I mean...such a huge amount..." older employee in a suit ran after them with some papers. Ryoma eyed him suspiciously. Huge amount? What the hell was this pompous, arrogant, rudely rich Atobe thinking?
"Ore-sama shall bet all of it."
Atobe informed Ryoma while some guy pushed golden casket in front of him.
"This is..." Ryoma stared at it bewildered.
"One million dollars, yes. Ore-sama is well aware of that, however Ore-sama wants you to bet all of it and play for Ore-sama."
'How many times can you say Ore-sama in one sentence?'
"Alright." Ryoma nodded.
His small, dainty hands took coins from their casket and neatly inlaid them them in a game.
"All of it?" He asked once more, this was ridiculous.
"All of it." Atobe's cocky voice assured.
Cheering was becoming so loud, Ryoma thought his head will start to spin.
"Pick." Employee showed him various dices and he took two that were closest to him.
"Now.." Atobe informed raising his arm. At first Ryoma wondered what will he do but then guy snapped his fingers and everyone went silent.
'Woah...he shushed them like that? What are they? His employees or extremely devoted fan club?'
Ryoma slowly rose his hand to his face, kissing two dices, something he usually did. He wished Kirihara was around, you don't bid one million dollars every day.
"Here I go.." he said and threw them. Tension was huge, everyone was looking at them. Atobe was wearing his usual cocky smirk and Ryoma his silent confidence, even though he wanted to scream, one million dollars...just like that. He could plan his entire life with that kind of money.
Dice landed. Seven.
Loud scream was heard. They won. Atobe won.
"Damn it." casino owner who came to watch such a huge thing like this was disappointed.
Glancing around Ryoma finally caught Kirihara who was standing between two enthusiastic girls. He ran and in one swift jump found himself in Kirihara's arms.
"You're great ochibi, you just won one million dollars. Whoah." Kirihara exclaimed.
Ryoma turned to see Atobe who was shaking hands with casino owner.
"I didn't. He did." Ryoma pointed out.
"It was your luck and skill that did it." Kirihara insisted.
Atobe approached them smirking. " Ore-sama is pleased. You just refunded everything Ore-sama lost in the last days of gambling."
Kirihara smiled affectionately at his lover.
"Mada mada dane." Ryoma answered coolly.
" I'm Kirihara Akaya, this is my boyfriend Echizen Ryoma, but you already met."
Atobe smirked "Ryoma... Ore-sama would like to thank you two with a celebration. Ore-sama's name is Atobe Keigo."
"We were just leaving." Ryoma replied.
"Don't do that. Stay in a hotel here, tell them to bill it to Ore-sama's name, we must have a celebration."
Ryoma and Kirihara looked each other bewildered, they've never been in a 5 star hotel.
So, that was 2nd chapter ...
Atobe is such a rich kid xDD
Anyways, do you like Kirihara? , I hope I didn't make him to ooc.
