Ragbros - Diluc and Kaeya

Gamble On Your Life

"Play a game with me is the only way to save them."

Kaeya finds it hard to believe, the young boy as young as he is are more cunning and clever than any other children and adults. Playing with the life of a person like a game. Unsettling and selfish.

"What kind of game?" He gritted his teeth.

Still it's better to take the risk, it's either die trying or die giving up. And no, he can't have that now.

"Chess." The boy clasped his hands together. "A classic game hmm?"

Calculative and strategic thinking is his kind of thing, he might have the advantage but knowing the strange kid- his opponent who had manage to capture all of them here. He shouldn't underestimate him.

"Well then, shall we begin?" The little sweet boy smiles so happily, with a click of his finger then all of the sudden everything around him started changing and in a blinks of all the nauseous he was in a room.

The first thing he's aware of was the black and white board of 64 squares arranged in eight vertical rows and eight horizontal rows. The six different types of pieces were seen on the board chess was rook, bishop, queen, knight, pawn and..

Kaeya looks at himself and swallowed down his saliva in fear.

King. He was the king piece.

The way he was dressed in a royal attire, so grand and terrifying that there a sword hanging by his side, he barely aware that there was a golden crown on his head. Heavy with the burden and responsibility that it bears. Standing on a high looking king chess piece, he gripped down onto it's crown look alike tightly.

"How's things over there Your Majesty?"

Starry eyes snapped out of his daze to look at the mismatched of black and white pupil of the kid. Glaring menacingly at the way he was sitting legs crossed on his seat like an arrogant young prince or perhaps a king- since he was on the same position as him.

King versus King.

What are the odds that one of them would lose?

"You-" Kaeya snarled but tried to control his temper as he can. "What are you plotting."

"Why. Can't we have a little bit more exciting game than the normal one?" He grinned

"..What scared?" The kid laughed mockingly. "You probably need to took it more seriously though, since well-" His golden eyes glazed boredly down at Kaeya's own pieces with a smirk and Kaeya can't help but followed to where his eyes look.

"Their life are basically in your hands now, My King."

He feels like he's going to vomit.

The pieces- there's people on each specific places. His friends, his family, his brother-

"What have you done!" Voice cracked he wants to kill the brat, and the kid knows it very, very,  well. "This is a fight between you and me! Get them out-"

"Now now, who can make demand in this situation?" Kid voice turned serious and dark. "and Where's the fun in that?"

Fun.

This f-cking crazy bastard.

Kaeya properly looks down at where his friends is and what situation they're in, as sickening as the sight is he knows that not everything will do him any good as he likes to believe. Jean as the queen piece, Eula as a bishop, Albedo being the rook, Amber as a knight and Diluc-

Diluc as a pawn.

Fuck.

It's killing him more. Please- he can't do this. He can't—

"Stopping now will leads them to death too. If I may add."

That sick bastard.

"Besides I bet your friends will agree with me hmm?" The little brat spoke again lowly and creepily, as soon as he finished- stop talking. One by one of his friends woke up from their consciousness and Kaeya wishes that they could have just fallen asleep. "and-" He gestures his hand.

"In case you've forgotten, it's your first move. My King."
