Hell and Over: A DevilDice Parent story

Chapter 1

I watched the night sky, the stars glimmering in the full moonlight, a nice cool breeze on a warm summer night. The casino made no sound, it was quite peaceful for once. I smiled at the stars through the window "Sure is beautiful is it not?" I say not looking at the tall fur cat demon, "Heh...Sure it is Dice" He smiles looking out the window wrapping his tail around my waist, pulling me closer to his warm black charcoal fur. I laugh a bit as it tickled "Your fur is ticklish boss". He wraps his arm around me "We should go to bed right, dear King?" he asked impatiently, practically dragging me to the bed. I wasn't really tired, he should've known by now. I raise an eyebrow at him "Why should we?" he looked at me with confusion, "Well Dice, since you and I married it seems you exhaust me all the time you're too overworked." I can't believe what he just said 'overworked??' I sigh and grin slightly "and how exactly am I doing that?" he chuckles "You running around stopping fights in the casino pains me honestly, makes me exhausted." I smile with much appreciation. I put my hands on my hips, and his ears just perk and then lower in annoyance. "Don't you give me that sass" I laugh "I can give sass as much as I want Big D" he smirked slightly "Is that meant literally or figuratively?" I go into the bathroom, I silently laugh "How about both?" I could hear him laugh a little bit, "You know" he began. "You take a long time to get to work" I almost laugh, he still doesn't know! I walk out "I'll have you know" I began, "I spend 5 hours on my make up" he looked at me like there was an entire angel behind me "5 HOURS??!" I nod laughing. He looked at me with concern "IT TAKES YOU 5 HOURS TO GET READY??" I nod once again, "I get up around 2 AM" he gasps slightly "WHY THAT FREAKING EARLY???" I shrug "HOW THE HELL ARE YOU EVEN ALIVE RIGHT NOW???" he shakes me intensively. I shrug again, he sighs deeply letting go of me "You know what, tomorrow is a break for you Dice, no work only sleep." I was about to protest, but got cut off by him "No buts Dice you need rest," I sigh in defeat. He walks into the bathroom, I quickly walk away trying to make no noise, running into the casino. Running into the staff room, breathing heavily, shutting the door, and quickly sliding down the door. The staff looked at me concerned, "Well, howdy there partner!" The cowboy Blue, Yellow, and Red poker chips said "Hey Chips" I said breathing heavily. "Y-you okay" They hiccup in between words, "There D-Dice?" Classic Tipsy Troop gang.."I'm fine guys, nothing to worry about" I get up and dust myself off. I smile fately, I cough "Well, how are you guys?" They look at me confused. "Uh, well depending, we're just confused is all.." the roulette wheel said, giving off an unnatural gesture of concern. I sigh and sit at the staff room bar "Well, you guys see, I can't come to work tomorrow." ''Why not?" the insane mental rabbit inside a magic hat said "Well, devil won't let me, said I'm in need of rest Which is preposterous by the way." I say with a bitter sweet tone lowering and raising, they all looked at me and laughed. I sighed and took a sip of water Mr. Wheezy gave me. I'm a Conman not a drunky, I have manners. "Uh, so Dice if you're not working what are you gonna be doing then?" said the cancer causing cigar. I put the glass on the table, elbow on the table, crossing my left leg over the right. "Not sure honestly, there's not much I CAN do." I spit an annoyed tone, checking my gloves, which everyone questions, I hear someone whisper "Fruity", I stop and look up "Who said I'm fruity..?" They all look at each other with much confusion. The one who whispered 'fruity' came out of the crowd "It was I!" she creeply smiled with her candy cane cane, "It was I who said that!" she creepily giggled making everyone quite uncomfortable. Even though the mental rabbit was scared of her, I looked at her uncomfortably. I nearly choked on my own words, "Um, who are you?" I was nearly as uncomfortable as Captain Jack Sparrow being burned alive, that tells you something. I shiver at her uncomfortably long smile, "My name is Baroness Von Bon Bon!!" she giggled, I had shivers of how terrifying she was, she's worse than Devil himself! I try to act tough and not stutter in disturbance at the tone of her voice, "What do you want?" she just laughed. It freaked me the hell out honestly "I'm from Sugarland silly!" I growl "GET OUT OF HERE THEN!" she looked at me sad "But I like it here.." I scowled at her and she left in submission, everyone stared at me. I look at them "what? Something I said?" They looked at me, then at each other "You're never dominant, not even to the devil!" said the magic eight ball that had eyes and a weird mouth. I smiled at them "Come on she was in here, the staff room? Only staff members are allowed in here." I said, bluntly, obviously I was kind of annoyed with her entry. I sigh, "This Casino is gonna be the end of me one day." Everyone nervously laughs, and I throw the glass on the ground some of the staff scream as it shatters. They all back up, staring at me horrified at what I just did. I was pretty pissed off at this point, "Okay, everyone leave the die alone for now." said the now terrified top domino. I hear a sigh "There goes another glass, Dice, you need to stop. You're stressing yourself out, take a break." The cancer stick cigar said as he left then shut the door behind him. I sigh looking at my gloves 'Maybe I am a bit fruity...?' thinking in my head, I stand up looking around no one is in sight. I look across the staff room, finding nothing. I get the broom and start to sweep up the glass that I 'accidentally' shattered, I put the broom back in the closet and shuffled myself into the closet with it, and proceeded to be a part of the closet. Curled up into a ball, shaking trying to hold back all the emotions I am concealing, entreating my emotions into submission. I exhale a shaky sigh of regret, 'Devil must be looking for me now, he won't find me in here.' I give off a fateful grin. 'It's a game of hide and seek like I was younger.' I thought to myself, almost giving a sober laugh, "the good old times are the right times I suppose." Getting off the floor, dusted myself off sliding down the door like a mini slide at a playground. I sat on the floor back against the wall, slid my legs up to my chest, and cradled them, letting out a cold deep sigh of misery. I yawn of tiredness, I check my new hidden watch to check the time '6:35 PM' I grieve over the time. I began to get trenched in tiredness as the darkness consumed me in a tight grip upon my shoulders and soul. The darkness claims a soul of light, each time one sleeps. My breath slows, draining into the darkness, I begin to shake and tremble as tears form along my eyelids. Coughing up sobs as each second goes by, hours by hours of tired sobbing. I choke a sob for one last time, letting the darkness consume my life and blackout. Hours upon hours felt like 10 seconds, the coldness of the closet was now a warm spotlight. My brain feels fuzzy and hurts from the light. I get up but fall on the floor, my vision clears up and I look around, 'the bed? I was in the closet..' I rub my eyes as I see Devil looking at me from above, I look up in shock and suck in my breath as I look at him and then to the floor. He crosses his arms "Why were you in the closet in the Casino staff room last night?" He asked, his tone almost had a lion growl hidden. I sighed "I was tired that's all, why?" I lied, he was dumb enough to believe it at first. I began to stand up, but before I could he grabbed my head "not so fast Dice, I don't believe you" he said holding my head up to his head level, I looked at my body "boss, can you put my head back on my body now besides we got work." he shook my head back and forth while saying "Dice, I told you last night! No work, only sleep!" I didn't know he meant that literally, besides I didn't need sleep. "Boss, I'm the Manager of this Casino, and your right-hand man-" "And husband..." he cuts me off "and husband.." I repeat after him, "Dice what are you saying? You don't like to sleep?" I looked at him "No, I just like working okay..." he stood there shocked, he blinked twice "you like working? That's why you wake up so early?" I looked at him and deeply sighed. He put my head back on my body, I got up and dust myself off, "Why did you take my head-" Devil cut me off "you were crying Dice, I can tell" I panic causing me to stutter "r-really boss.?" he nodded. I felt like I was gonna pass out from panicking, my stomach felt all melty like a bar of chocolate in 100-degree heat. I put my hands in my pockets not knowing what to say "wait, you had pockets the whole time?" I look at him like he's done something stupid, "uh.. Yeah I've always had pockets, even the staff know that. Where have you been for the last 23 years?" I laughed till I couldn't because you know, breathing exists. He facepalmed, blushing from embarrassment "I look stupid right now.." He said quietly, I laughed till I fell and couldn't breathe, I get the strength to get up "I mean, sir, that's pretty stupid enough" I said, holding back an irreverent grin, folding arms. I smile at him passionately, I could never be mad at him even if I wanted to be he is a special demon, with an evil passion for souls, and he enjoys hunting through this stuff. My eyes are bright green, full of passion looking at the demon in front of me. I walk over to him, looking at him "You are something special you know" he looks at me and smirks "Oh Dice why to be like that" his tone is silk as it begins to seduce me. A quite unusual being walks in, poker chips it seems known as Chips Bettigan's a quite peculiar guy. Chips look at us as we begin to separate "Boss! Dice!" Devil looks at Chip "What is it now" his voice lowers in disappointment "There are kids in the casino!" Chips raises his arms in panic "Who let kids in the casino?" Devil facepalms. I quietly sneak away, only to get caught "Dice you're the manager. You're supposed to keep children out of the casino!" I spin around turning red in embarrassment. I open my mouth to protest only to be stopped "Whatever Dice, just whatever" I shut my mouth and put my hands on my hips as he turns around.
