The Lucky Dragon

No Dice

Yuto walked around the casino pit, keeping an eye on the tables. He was the pit boss today, which meant that he was in charge of monitoring everything in his assigned pit. He smiled a bit as his eyes fell on Yugo, who was currently the boxman for a craps table. Craps was Yugo's favorite casino game, so Zarc usually assigned him to a craps table whenever he wasn't working as the pit boss. Yuto, Yuri, and Yuya were also usually assigned to their favorite games when they weren't pit bosses, Yuto's favorite being roulette, Yuri's being poker, and Yuya's blackjack.

As much as Yuto would have loved to watch his boyfriend work, he too had a job to do. The eggplant continued walking around the pit, keeping vigilant. It would not do for him to get distracted by his cute banana and miss an issue.

It was currently 8AM on a Monday, one of the slowest days and times of the casino, but each table in Yuto's pit still had at least two people playing. Yuto recognized a couple of them as regulars. One of the girls at Yuya's usual blackjack table appeared to be quite drunk. Yuto made a mental note to keep an eye on her, just in case she was drunk enough to do something stupid like try to steal chips. It had happened a few times before.

As Yuto was making his rounds back toward Yugo's craps table, he heard the sound of someone whining, "But why noooooot?"

"It's against the rules," Yugo replied. "You can't use your personal dice in a casino."

"But they're my lucky dice!" the whiner argued. "I never play a dice game without them!"

"Sorry, but rules are rules," Yugo said. "You either play with the house dice or you don't play at all."

"Why you—I wanna speak with your manager!" Oh great. It was a Karen. Yuto sighed and walked over to the craps table. "You can't play with your personal dice. Casino dice games are strictly regulated. We can't bend the rules for anyone. Either play with the dice we provide or leave."

The Karen appeared to be about to argue, when suddenly Zarc arrived. "Get. Off. My. Property. Sara."

Yuto and Yugo blinked in surprise. Zarc had, of course, told them, Yuya, and Yuri about his gold-digging ex and how she was the one that had been the one that tried to fight Yuri when he kicked her out of the casino for counting cards, and how she had somehow contacted Zarc. The five boyfriends kept no secrets from each other. But they didn't have any idea how she could have gotten back into the casino after Zarc had specifically told the front not to let her back in.

"But Zarcy!" Sara protested. "I'm not even doing anything wrong! It's these horrible, evil, ugly men! They're the ones being mean to me by not letting me use my own lucky dice! You should fire them!"

"One, using personal dice in ANY casino is forbidden by the Casino Regulation Committee," Zarc snapped. "It's not my rule, even I can't change it, and my casino could get shut down if I allowed it. Two, you are on the Banlist, I could have you arrested for trespassing. Three, these two men are doing their jobs properly. I'm not going to fire them for doing their job the way they're supposed to. And finally, these two men are also my boyfriends, and if you EVER insult them or my other two boyfriends again, well, I still have that video of you at that party in high school that you told everyone to delete. I'll post it online! Now get off my property!"

"No! You can't make me!" Sara shrieked, drawing the attention of everyone in the pit. Zarc raised his hand and snapped his fingers. Seconds later, Sara was once again being dragged kicking and screaming out of the casino.

Yuto stared after the woman, shaking his head in disbelief. "How the hell did she manage to get back in?" he wondered out loud. Zarc sighed. "The bouncer left to use the bathroom without getting anyone to cover for him. Don't worry, I called the police on Sara. She probably won't have the chance to try again... Hopefully..."
