Card Games and Apple Pie

Reader POV

Shuffling the cards was generally the smoothest part of the evening, the pie still baking slowly, Hell's blazing sun was far past set. Once it was shuffled nicely, he dealt the deck, twenty six to the both of you. You locked eyes and smiled sly grins at one another. You were ready to go to war.

"Let me just warn you, I get really competitive." He slammed his first card on the table. It was a four of diamonds.

"As do I." You placed a queen of spades gently on top of his four.

"Remember, we have to do it at the same time!" You glanced up at his sly, grinning face for a moment and slid the cards back towards you.

"One-Zero, Me." You said with a sharp smile on your face, already knowing that by the look on his face, this was going to be a very chaotic game.

"One, two, three, War!" A six of hearts and a seven of clubs. You slid the cards back to you again.

"One, two, three, War!" Two of clubs, ten of spades. You were delighted to see his face twist from frustration as he lost again.

"One, two, three, War!" Queen of hearts, queen of diamonds.

"WAR!!" He exclaimed with a fierce smile.

You were thrilled to see his excited side come out. You both dealt three cards, and then the final. You didn't need to say the chant again as you both placed your fourth cards in unison.

"FUCK!" He shouted loudly slamming his head into his hands.

You played an ace of spades, he played a king of the same.

"Let's see what else you lost!" You laughed at his aggressiveness, the fire in his eyes just from a silly game.

"You're a cheater! How else have you won five in a row!?" He gritted his teeth as you took his king, a queen, and two other aces.

Your laugher echoed through the empty lobby.

"You dealt the cards!" You flipped your cards, revealing what you would have lost. A two, a three, and a seven.

He rolled his eyes as you pulled all of the cards on the table back to your stack.

"Again then, I'll win the next one!" He held his decreasing stack tightly, his white knuckles turning whiter as he bent the cards.

"Your funeral!" You smiled as the two of you both slapped cards onto the table.

Your grin quickly faded as he revealed the ace of hearts against your three of diamonds.

"YES!!! I WIN I WIN!!" He laughed a bit too menacingly for the fact that he stole a three, but you laughed along with him anyway.

"Again!! I'll steal it right back!" You narrowed your eyes and flashed him a toothy grin, your next card already in your hands.

He matched your fierce look with a sharp-toothed smile of his own, face flushed from the excitement. He was getting ready to play his next card as well. Your eyes locked for a few intense moments, you were so close to one another. You could feel his energy radiating off of him. You only broke your stare when you heard the distant beeping of the oven timer.

"Shit, I forgot about the pie!" You slapped your nearly full deck onto the table, breaking away from his eyes abruptly. You stood and ran to the kitchen, leaving him alone in the lobby.

"You run to that timer all right!! If you're not back in two minutes I'm declaring myself the winner!!" You heard him taunt you as you left the room.

You smiled to yourself as you took the warm pie out of the oven, its heat and sweet smell flooded the room, it was almost uncanny how similar he smelled. You set it on the counter and turned off the oven, you ran back to him as quickly as you could. 

The pie needed to set, and you had another round of war to win.
