The elevator dinged as it reached level 2 of the apartment building. Kingston walked out of the elevator And made his way down the hall with a small smile on his face as he kept reminding himself that he had just gotten a job.

He grabbed his key and unlocked the door that let him into his apartment.
"I'm home Lou" dice said as he put his coat down on a small chair and sniffed the air, smelling what seemed to be pie.
"Finally, how was the performance?" A man with a tired and slightly pained voice said from the kitchen. "It went well, no slip ups today and I got some good tips" dice said taking off his shoes. afterword's he walked into the kitchen and saw his younger brother who sat in a wheelchair cutting up a freshly made chicken pot pie.

"That's great" the man said with a small smile as he did his best to cut the pie but seemed to struggle. Dice walked up besides Lou and grabbed the knife from him "Lou the doctor told you to take it easy. you know that" dice said with a bit of sadness in his voice as he looked down at his brother.

"I know I know dice. She said take it easy but didn't say I couldn't cook food, and. Cooking isn't that hard"
Lou said in defense as he watched dice cut up the pie into 4 pieces "well yes but still Lou I much rather you wait for me to get home or even ask Lottie for help when she's not at work." Dice said as he grabbed the plates from the cabinets and placed them down onto the counter next to the pie.

Lou huffed as he watched dice walk away to his room which was only a few feet away "okay dice. I'll keep that in mind" he said as he started to put a piece of pie onto one of the plates. "Lou I'm serious!" Dice said sternly from his room as he takes off his vest and shirt.
"I know dice okay! I'm 33 I can live how I want." Lou said annoyed as he put the second slice of pie on another plate "your pie is on the counter" Lou said as he opened a drawer and grabbed two fork, he placed one on dices plate then one on his own. "I'm listening to the radio then heading to sleep" Lou added

Dice walked out of his room, now wearing a baggy blue shirt and his hair messy. "what, but don't you want to hang out and, I don't know. Help me write a new song? We could work on crocheting that blanket you where making for ace for when he gets back from prison" dice says with a slight sadness in his voice and Lou looks at him and shrugs "I'm tired and just want to get to sleep after eating" Lou said as he put his plate on his lap and turned to go to the Livingroom.

"Alright Lou, if that's what you want." Dice said as he glanced over at the pie "but! Hey would you like to go out and get some brunch with me tomorrow? You need to get out more anyways. And I'm sure the doctor wouldn't mind" dice said as he looked back at Lou, Hoping he would say yes. Lou gave dice a thumbs up as he left the kitchen and dice smiled happily.

Dice put some foil over the left over pie and put it in the rather empty fridge. Once done he takes his own slice of pie and heads to his bedroom, making sure to close the door behind him.
The room was small and looked to be recently cleaned "Lou must have cleaned it for me today" dice thought as he sat down on his bed.
It was lonely sleeping alone every night but with him working all the time and taking care of Lou, he never had time to find a partner. Even tho he was in his late 30s he never had more than 2 relationships, and those had been in his 20s.

Dice sighed as he shook his head. He could hear Lou listening to the radio in the Livingroom and thinks for a minute" Sleep wouldn't be a bad idea" he muttered to himself as he looked down to his plate, seeing that the pie was already half eaten. He must of been eating when he was lost in thought. But he had lost his appetite even tho it was a good pie.

Dice leaned over and puts the pie on his night stand. He didn't feel like taking it to the kitchen and he didn't have a trash can so he would just throw it away in the morning.

He turned off the lights then lays down in bed, pulling his blanket covers over himself. Dice shut his eyes as he thought about his new job, his boss didn't tell him what job he would have to do so it's not like he could prepare properly. So he would just have to spend the next week learning all the different jobs that they do in a casino and go from there.

He considered if it was worth putting in so much work into making sure he got the job, but. if it meant he would get another source of money it would be worth it.

After a few minutes of thinking of what was to come in the following week he soon dozed off into sleep.
