SpaIta: Snakes and Ladders

"Wow, the storm's really getting intense," Antonio commented, as the window was lit for a brief moment before a deafening boom was heard.

"Ve," Feliciano said, "I don't like this."

They couldn't turn on the TV, since they didn't want to risk it, and the Wi-Fi router was also disconnected because of the storm. And it was a little early to go to sleep.

Antonio knew that Feliciano didn't like the storm, and he needed to think of a way to distract the other. His eyes lit up as he finally came up with an idea.

"Why don't we play a game?" Antonio suggested.

"Ve, what kind of game?"

Antonio smiled, before going to his room. He returned with a box marked Snakes and Ladders. Feliciano's eyes widened.

"I hadn't played this in so long," Feliciano said.

The two proceeded to play, and it was clear that Feliciano had all the luck, while Antonio had none. They played a few rounds, and when they eventually got bored, Antonio got another game, and the cycle repeated itself.

They were having so much fun that they didn't even notice as the storm subsided.

The prompt was: 'They play a board game one stormy night.' I went with Snakes and Ladders because it was my favourite growing up.

And starting Friday, I'll be posting A Different Kind of Vampire, since Game of Mirrors is nearing its end and I want something in its place, and this story is the one I'm most motivated to write, and it's the only one with more than ten chapters already written. The ship is Romania/Romano, and is one of the HCSS multichapters.
