My Roommate is a player:
If someone hadn't lived in a house with Gilbert all of their life or had known him for a significant amount of time, then there was the likelihood of being intimated or seduced by his taunting and bragging. Not that his bragging was without credibility, the eldest Beilschmidts has things to brag about. But the man's ego was the size of Eurasia and then some.
While Ludwig and Elizaveta had long since ignored Gilbert's man dares, Mathias accepted some of them just because, Kiku politely refused and Roderick would just tell the man how childish he was; but An'na hadn't know him long enough to do any of those things.
And that's why it was a deep wound to his continental size pride when she beat him at his own game.
"Broad Walk, let's see," she picked up the white card with the blue top, looked between the card and Gilbert, who was fuming, then the card again.
She mockingly cleared her throat and looked up again, "You owe me $2000."
"Bull…shit!" Gilbert yelled and jumped up from his spot on the floor by the coffee table, "That's bull!"
Ludwig stirred and woke at his brother's screaming, having doze off after getting eliminated from the game, "Is it over?" he asked.
"Gilbert owns me $2000," An'na informed him then lowered her voice to add the rest, "I don't think he has it."
Ludwig looked over at his brother, who was in the process of mortgaging his property. Not that it was much; he'd already mortgaged half of his fortune the last turn.
"Just give me however much this house is worth," he grumbled, handing the little green piece to Elizaveta.
"But," the Hungarian started, "You still won't have eno—"
"Fuck this," Gilbert shoved all of his mortgaged cards in An'na's general direction and started towards the kitchen, "Take it, I'm going to get a beer."
"You have a beer!" Elizaveta reckoned while laughing.
"A fresh one! Stupid Monopoly" Gilbert yelled back.
A/N: For those who may not know, the game they are playing is called Monopoly. It's a finance game and Broad Walk and Park Place are the two most expensive properties. In my family, Monopoly is a serious matter, so serious that none of the kids could play. I couldn't play until I was a teenager! We have a trophy and everything. Really, and we have other families that we play with! The last time I checked, there is a Europe version so maybe you guys can check it out!
