"Sir, would you like to play another round? If so, I'll start shuffling the cards." Letting said objects glide through the air for a moment, (y/n) gave the older man a calm smile, trying to persuade him into playing another game of poker. For a moment, the player seemed to hesitate.
"I don't know, boy. Today definitely isn't my lucky day. All of my hands have been bad and got worse the longer that I've been playing. I think I'll end it here tonight." His words disappointed the former Ultimate Dealer, who gave a nod in return. "Of course, I understand."
After he left, the (h/c) haired male scanned the giant room. His lover was only a few meters away from him, yet he couldn't spend time with her. He still had to work. But something was making him be scared, eating him up inside and tearing him down.
'What if... No. I shouldn't think about it. Everything's fine.' As quickly as possible, his expression changed back to a friendly one when his table filled back up with people. "Dealer! I'm betting everything this round!" The woman seemed to be drunk, lighting a cigarette between her red lips.
"Ma'am, smoking is not allowed in here. And are you sure you want to do that? Your money could be gone forever." His comment made her sigh as she put the cigarette out again. "Smoking is not allowed? I swear, this place is f-cking sh-t!"
Her raising her voice caught the attention of other people in the casino, including Celestia's. Her eyes met his for a brief moment, causing his heartbeat to speed up. After quite some time with her, he was still madly in love. "I'm really sorry to disappoint you, but rules can't just be broken."
"Rules are meant to be broken, dude! I'm sure you aren't a completely innocent soul either!" Her laughing afterwards made it even more clear: The lady did have too much alcohol for her own good. She would most likely have a headache the next day, if she managed to get out of bed.
"You seem to be a really relaxed person when it comes to rules." Being as discrete as possible, (y/n) called over some security, trying not to cause a ruckus. Unfortunately for him, it seemed like the player was not ready to stop gambling and drinking yet.
"Stop! Let go of me! I refuse to leave this building! I will sue you, you d-mn a--hole! Just wait until I come back!" Her screams were getting faint while she was escorted outside, soon not being heard anymore. Thankfully, the atmosphere quickly went back to normal.
'It's time...' Taking a quick glance at the clock of the room, he walked over to his lover, taking her hand and guiding her into a much more private and empty room. "Oh my. What's with the sudden secrecy, darling? And what was that just now? What a noisy person."
"Open this, please." An unopened pack of cards was placed in her hand, taking her by surprise. Without saying anything, the black haired female opened the packaging. "Can you look at the fifth card from the top for me?" His request was a little strange but... As soon as the card was revealed, she let out a loud gasp.
"A ring? Does that mean-" (Y/n) got on his knees, taking her hand, which caused the cards to spill all over the floor. "Please marry me, Celestia Ludenberg. I promise that I will treat you like a princess." A single tear rolled down her cheek. "As you wish."
