OLD LOVE AND HATE.

Chapter 16: Guess Who's Back

•______3rd Person P.O.V_______•
•________The next day_________•

In the morning, the curtains opened earlier than usual. The sun went nicely on the sheets, creating a warm feeling. Quite nice for a start of the day, you might say.
Dice woke up slowly with the make-up of the day before, all ruined and on the pillow he was hugging. He frowned at the sight of the light. After a slow routine, he went to make himself a mug of tea, peach and rose flavour. His favourite.
He thought a bit of the evening before. He felt nice and warm with Devil's presence, the atmosphere and the act of the Big Demon was reassuring and lovely. The Music and the food was excellent and expensive too, never ever Dice thought the Devil had such a kind heart.
He then fixed the make-up and put on his regular outfit, and after a pose or two in front of the mirror, he closed the door behind him and made his way into the Bosses office to talk about Mug and Cup situation.
Dice tried to knock upon the entrance and by surprise the door was locked, meaning that Boss wasn't there. "Probably fell asleep or doing something else" Dice thought leaving the corridor and went down to the main floor to give orders and open up the Casino.

•_________Devil P.O.V__________•

I woke up before the sun set upon the sky.  Thought i could go and talk with Satan or Beelzebub for the soul 'n' cash gaining of this century and maybe convince them to not come in my casino to make deals, especially with Mammon and Belphegor, with the...previous accident.
Though 'didn't warn any one of my employees I hope they understand.

•______Back at the 3th p._______•

The time passes, the morning is going swell and smooth. The sinners asking and begging to spare their soul is melody to KingDice.
He hummed while watching people gamble and play their fate away.
The only thing that he didn't know was that something more cruel was happening at the other part of hell. In the Sloth ring.

-So... Why are you here? Shouldn't you be in Heaven or something? I'm not here to listen all of that crap! Heaven can fall apart and i wouldn't give a shit.- Belphegor says while growling and moving his hand in annoyance. His big presence was a strong one.

-Yes...But i came here for...a deal- Valentino came closer with an assuring smile. With a swing they sat on the chair that was in front of Belphegor's throne.

-Spill the tea darling- The big blue demon joked and signed to go on with the deal.

-Well...we both don't want that King presence in that casino. How to say this.  You'll have finally the grace to own that devious soul and I will never bother you ever again.- The deal was interesting, Belphegor thought for a while and nodded as he looked at Valentino's face.

-What do you gain from this?- He asked curious, looking at Valentino with his red big eyes.
-Oh well, that doesn't matter much! But surely I can convince the Devil to do what God asked me to without any... disturbing presence...- They slowly moved their hand gesticulating while talking, Valentino then got up and with a firm smile upon his dark-skinned face he asked the famous question. -So deal? You take Dice, I help you get him and leave you be.- With his hand in position, Belphegor couldn't deny. That was a good deal, they didn't want anything other than having that beautiful creature out of the casino.

-'Ight. Deal - The big blue demon shook the hand given and they jointly laughed.

•———Belphegor P.O.V————•

"This little demon or angel? The fuck is that. Is really thinking that I am going to leave the Devil alone after the deal? Oh well... I'm going to take the pretty dice and kill that furry bastard that embarrassed me in front of everyone! So i will be the next one to be in heir to the throne... and no one is going to fight me ever again." I thought as i shook the hand of Valentino and planned the day and the whole mission. Can't wait that to happen and have all i deserve.

•———Back at the Casino———•

It's almost evening and the Devil didn't make his presence not even once. The sinners inside the casino didn't bother his absence, not even the workers as they were busy at working their shift. Dice felt that something wasn't right but he knew that if the Devil was indeed in danger, he could do that alone. He is the king of Hell after all.

He took the paperwork and contracts that the casino had collected throughout the day and went upstairs into the Bosses office. He knocked and the door opened, so he thought that the Boss came back. He greeted him -Hello Big Cheese, hear some paperwork!- He came closer to the desk but the voice he heard wasn't expected. -So Big Cheese you call him?- Dice paralysed at the spot. The papers flew to the ground filling it in a mess. -Fuck no no no no no - He panicked and slowly went back to the door. It was locked.
-Hello there beautiful~ We aren't here to hurt you- Belphegor spoke sitting up from the Devil's throne-chair, at his left there was Valentino, leaning over the table with an arrogant smile and his terrifying look across Dice's eyes .
Valentino then softly and mockingly walked over Dice - Calm down, it's not like we want to mess your make-up. We just want to talk - Val returned near to Belphegor and they both grinned "I am fucked" Dice thought as he refused to move from his spot.

-As th' Manager I excuse myself 'n' go out of here- He tried to maintain his control and smile to escape but the door was still closed shut. - Ain't that easy sweetie. As the older one of the two, I should be here as the Manager and you out. I am his best friend - Valentino proudly put - 'N' yet he chose me as his Manager 'cause I worked for it! Worked hard. Ye were spawn 'n' put as his left hand man. Ye didn't have to work shi'- Dice already knew where this was going and angrily said what he thought. The truth perhaps. -I am a bit angry that I spent my entire life being near him and then i find out you two are out for a FANCY DINNER? - Valentino confessed the jealousy between him and Devil.

Dice couldn't believe his ears. Valentino was jealous that he got to be out with the Devil and not out with them? Wow. - Stop right there. Ye are jealous? Because I ate out with Devil? On a professional dinner? Lord don't make me LAUGH. As he could ever love ME o' ANYONE in general - Dice couldn't do anything but laugh at the accusation. The Big Blue demon and Valentino stayed silent. They really thought that they had a crush, at least, for each other. But Belphegor saw a hint of delusion in King Dice and said - But you do love him, right? - That took Dice out. -I...uuuh. No. Hell nah. We are...strictly professional... - (Oh dear Dice how bad at lying are you at love stuff?) Dice hided, failing, his obvious delusion. - So i was right. You want to steal him from me - Valentino angrily grabbed him and threw him at Belphegor. - Take him and we are done. We already wasted our time - He annoyed waved at the demon. Belphegor didn't wait and teleported holding Dice into his chest as he tried to escape, screaming for help.

Silence.

- See you never motherfucker - Valentino said, opening the door behind him and closing it once again as if nothing happened.
