KILLING THE TIME WITH POKER
"SIGH. There's nothing to do…" Dist said as he was floating on his chair back and forth.
The other God-Generals sighed as well. Sync rested his chin on his hand, while other hand tapping the table. Arietta was hugging her doll; Largo was wiping his scythe with a cloth; while Legretta was plating with a strand of Asch's hair. Asch was too bored he didn't mind Legretta playing with his hair.
Something struck Largo's head; he stood up and put his scythe away and called: "What about poker?" he grinned. "…Poker?" Sync's face formed a faint grin. "The last time we played Dist had to remove almost all of his clothes." Legretta chuckled. "Today's different." Dist smirked.
"I can totally beat you!" Sync, the strategist announced. "We'll see." Largo chuckled.
Asch simply grinned and chuckled. 'Oh Sync, this time, I'll turn the tables.' He thought.
"Let's get the cards ready." Largo called. The 6 God-Generals sat down and waited eagerly. "I'm not so sure about this…" Arietta mumbled. "Why?" Sync cocked his head slightly at Arietta. She let out a giggle after Sync did that. 'You always make my heart skip a beat; you just don't know you do it.'
"Nice to see the both of you… 'Get along'." Legretta scoffed, her face wearing a wide grin. Sync and Arietta flinched. "Just ignore her." Sync whispered to the pink-haired girl.
Arietta wore a smile, a smile that only Sync could see.
"Okay now, time for the love bugs to go away. It's time for poker." Largo called. Asch was clueless; he glanced at Largo and Legretta who seemed to understand each other. Dist laughed maniacally "Bwahahaha! Now, I'll show you what I'm capable of!"
"Pfffft." Sync snorted then made a face. Arietta couldn't help but to let out a soft giggle; this made Sync grin. "It's time for Poker. In each round, the person who loses has to remove something." Largo grinned. "By the end of this game, I swear you won't see anything removed!" Asch announced with pride. "Oh really?" Sync grinned at Asch. "Heh heh, just you wait." Asch and Sync was eyeing each other with wide grins on their faces.
The game had started, the God-Generals looking intently on the card on their hands.
(A/N: Please forgive me; I don't know how to play poker. My parents said that I'm still too young to even understand it… So I'm just going to state which of them wins or loses… Sorry! :x)
The God-Generals opened their card to see who won, and who lost. "You lose, Asch." Sync grinned. "I'm going to get you for this." Asch growled as he took his gloves off.
Time has passed, Legretta lost her gloves and her shoes; Arietta lost her sleeves and her hat; Dist lost his glasses, gloves and tie; Sync lost his jacket, gloves and his shoes; Asch lost the main article of his armor, his gloves and his shoes; Largo lost nothing…
In this round… "You lose Arietta." Legretta chuckled. "Oh…" she stood up then started removing her long boots; she glanced at Sync, his chin rested on a hand, wearing a mischievous smirk. She looked away with a light blush; her heart beating faster. Asch was still clueless, he glanced at them. He still couldn't get it, so he just shrugged it off.
The following round… "This is Sync, the strategist? Don't make me laugh. More like Sync the Stripper." Asch chuckled. "Shut the hell up, Asch." Sync made a face then growled. Apparently, Sync had lost many times, leaving him topless, with only his shorts left. Now he has to remove it, leaving him and his boxers. Arietta and Legretta looked away. Though Arietta couldn't resist but take a peek, a faint blush forming on her cheeks as she peeked…
"At least I still have my boxers." Sync blurted. "One more loss, and it's either you go naked, or do a dare..." Largo smirked. "Dare? If I remember… This happened to Dist before. The dare you gave him was…" Sync was recollecting his memories. "…My head got flushed on a toilet. But not anymore!" Dist laughed crazily, but at the same time, with pride.
'He is so… ho--... No, Arietta... Don't say it. DO NOT SAY IT. I repeat, do NOT say it! …Okay I'll say it—He's hot!' Arietta yelled mentally. Arietta felt the blush coming so she hid her face with her doll.
The following rounds, Sync had been lucky. Asch was now topless. "Hahahaha!" Sync burst out laughing, his right hand holding his stomach while his left hand pointing a finger toward Asch. The red headed God-General shot a glare at Sync. So far Largo has lost NOTHING. He obviously had the poker face.
"Arietta, you lose again." Legretta grinned at her. Arietta sighed and started removing the main article of her clothing; she started removing the lock on her neck. "Want me to help you with that?" Sync smirked mischievously. Arietta blushed madly, "..N-no thanks."
Legretta and Largo were too busy thinking on a strategy they didn't notice. Asch slapped the back of Sync's head. "That hurt!" Sync said, teary-eyed, holding the back of his head. "Don't pester Arietta." Asch made a face. "Sheesh, all you had to do was say something." Sync rested his chin on his hand, he closed his eyes while his other hand tapping the table. Arietta finished removing the outside part of her dress; Dist had a smirk on his face. He whistled at Arietta, which made Legretta, Asch and Largo make disgusted faces. Sync shot a death glare at Dist which made him flinch.
"I was just kidding!" Dist yelled, but Sync kept on glaring. "Dist, fuck off." Sync growled.
The God Generals were quite shocked; Arietta hid her blushing face with her doll. Asch then put a hand on his chin. With what Sync said, Dist remained silent. 'I'll put this on my Revenge Journal!' he yelled mentally.
"Okay, okay. Enough with this foolishness, let's continue the game." Largo announced.
'I never knew this little thing could make Sync THIS pissed off.' Legretta thought with a smile.
'Tch. Fuck Dist. If he does something like that again, I swear I'll bite his freaking head off.' Sync cursed.
The next round…
"Asch, you lose." Sync announced, though his tone says his still pissed off. Asch shrugged then took his lower armor off, leaving him his pants. "Asch, you don't seem mad like you usually were these past few rounds." Largo looked at Asch.
"It's nothing." Asch grinned. "I know there's something." Legretta snapped. Asch simply chuckled.
The following round…
"WHAT?!" Sync stood up, his face red. Arietta was put a palm on her mouth, her face feeling hot. The others did, too. "Ohhhhh.." They said in awe. "So… What'll it be Sync? Go nude? …or dare?" Largo chuckled.
Sync was thinking, he put a hand on his chin and crossed his arm. "Take your time." Legretta chuckled. The God-Generals flinched, Oh dear Yulia, please say he isn't going to do it!
He placed his hands on his boxers… OH SWEET LORELEI HE IS!! Dist and Asch immediately got a hold of both his arms. "A dare then." Largo sighed. "Hey!" Sync yelled. "I'll dare..." Asch smirked. Sync gulped. "Don't worry, it doesn't involve toilet flushing." Asch chuckled. "What?! Come on!" Legretta exclaimed, their faces told Asch that the excitement was killing them.
"Until the game ends, hold Arietta's hand. Simple, yeah?" Asch smirked. Arietta and Sync flinched. "..Whatever. It doesn't mean anything anyway." Sync lied, but his tone convincing, Arietta understood.
"Nice one, Asch." Largo and Legretta faced Asch with wide grins and four thumbs up. (LOL)
Sync's right hand held Arietta's left hand. Arietta glanced at Sync who was resting his chin on his left hand; she saw a faint grin; his emerald eyes looking at her. She blushed slightly and tried to hide it, but her right hand was already holding the cards, so she has nothing to hide. Plus, Sync was still topless and left with his boxers, this was going to be hard…
Luckily, (or not) when Dist reached for the cards, he accidentally lost balance and instead touched Legretta's breast. A nerve struck on Legretta, as she muttered, "Éclair de Larmes."
"AHHH!!" Dist yelled. Dist fell of his chair and fell, he tried grabbing onto something. Arietta was there, so the first thing he saw was her hair. "OWW!" Arietta fell on the floor with Dist on top of her. This time, Sync's face was all red from anger. Dist slowly turned his head to Sync. "You've just crossed the line you son of a bitch..!!" Sync grabbed Dist away from Arietta and Akashic Tormented him. Asch was hit on the side, "What the hell?! You are so going to pay!!" Asch grabbed his sword and aimed a Light Spear Cannon at Sync, but instead it hit Largo.
"..Brimstone Tempest!" Largo looked pissed.
"Psst! Go grab your clothes!" Sync whispered to Arietta. She simply nodded her head and grabbed their clothes. They tiptoed their way out of the room.
They closed the door silently. "SIGH." Arietta sighed. "Are you okay?" Sync asked with a worried face. "Hmm?"
"When Dist pulled your hair."
"My neck hurts a bit, but other than that, I'm okay." She smiled reassuring Sync.
"Good to know." Sync then placed a hand behind Arietta's neck and massaged it. Of course, she blushed. "Shouldn't we get dressed first?" she looked on her feet.
-Giggling sounds behind them-
"Huh?" they said in unison. They turned their backs and caught female soldiers hiding behind. They were probably like that because of Sync topless and wearing only boxers.
Arietta made a face then advanced toward the female soldiers. "A-arietta?" Sync called at the frustrated girl. But she ignored the call and cornered the female soldiers. She put her hands on her hips and started arguing with them.
"What do you think the both of you are doing?"
"We… were just…" female soldier one shuddered, finding an excuse.
"..He's so hot." Female soldier number two swooned.
"SHH!" female soldier one put a finger on her mouth.
"Oh!! M-my deepest apologies!! We were… just… going!" female soldier two said as she pulled f. soldier one and walked past Arietta.
Female soldier one pushed f. soldier two playfully toward Sync, though didn't really bump him. They went on their way giggling.
A nerve struck Arietta. She turned her back and shot a glare with bloodshot eyes at the two soldiers. "Maybe I should have them ripped into a million pieces by my brothers." Arietta growled as she gritted her teeth.
"Chill, Arietta." Sync chuckled as he headed for her. "Why should I?! They were being so..!" she muttered. "..So?" he grinned. "So… sigh." She sighed. They weren't really doing anything bad, really. "Let's get dressed…" Arietta sighed. "Right." He was still grinning.
They got dressed in a matter of minutes. They still heard screams and bangs inside the room. "That place is seriously going to be trashed." Arietta giggled. "Yeah." Sync smiled sheepishly.
"M-my doll's still in there…" Arietta shuddered. She looked at Sync. "Oh no. Nuh uh, we are NOT going back in there." Sync protested. "But..! Fine I'll get it back." Arietta pouted then walked ahead of the green-haired boy. "..FINE." Sync groaned in defeat. Arietta turned to him with a bright face. She ran to him and wrapped her arms around his neck, "...Thank you, Sync. I love you!" she exclaimed. This made Sync blush slightly.
"Come on." He said as Arietta let go of him. They slowly opened the door, "DUCK!" Sync yelled, he pulled the both of them on the floor. Dist was sent flying, Legretta came out with a face so red, it was redder than Asch's redder hair than Luke. "DIST, YOU FOOL!" Legretta yelled as she shot multiple bullets at him.
"You crazy bitch!" Dist yelled as he ran for his life, next to Legretta was Largo and Asch, who seemed pissed as well. They chased Dist, trashing the whole place. "You piece of shit, come back here!" Asch yelled. Largo was growling. "I wonder what Dist did…" Arietta said in awe, Sync's arm still wrapped around hers.
They stood up with wide eyes. "Woah… Wouldn't want to piss Legretta off." Sync sighed. "You're right…"
"M-my doll! They ripped it…" Arietta sighed. "It's not THAT bad." Sync blurted. "Yeah, but still... Oh well, I'll just fix it then." Arietta shrugged it off. Arietta was heading towards her room to fix her ripped doll.
Sync was following her. They entered the room; it was pretty much filled with other dolls. Sync made a face, "How many do you have one of these.. things anyway?"
"I dunno." She smiled. She got the needle and the thread. Sync sat on her bed, watching her fix her doll. "Ow!" Arietta shrieked. She poked herself with the needle; her finger was bleeding. "Let me see…" Sync grabbed Arietta's hand. 'The faster way for it to stop bleeding is…'
Sync sucked the blood out from her finger, Arietta was surprised; she flinched.
He let go of her hand and said: "It was the fastest way for it to stop bleeding…" he looked away, putting a hand on his hip.
"I know…" Arietta blushed slightly. (A/N: Or so I've been told, that's what I do when I get paper cuts. Suck the blood. LOL. No malice in it, okay?)
They remained silent until Arietta's doll was fixed. "Done..." she sighed. Sync chuckled. The sun was setting; the room was getting darker…
"I better go back now..." Sync stood up and walked toward the door. "N-no, wait." Arietta grabbed his hand. Sync cocked a brow. "Please… stay with me… I-if that's okay?" she laughed nervously.
He grinned then sat beside her. "It's more than okay." He whispered. Arietta smiled sweetly. They talked for a while…
(A/N: Getting more intimate… The slightest thing could make them angry, like with Dist and Arietta, and the Two Female Soldiers and Sync. This is going to be fun… XD Until the next chapter.)
