Cuphead Oneshots (ON HOLD SORT OF)

Dance With Me // King Dice x Reader // AU

So you know that AU, that I believe is called Casino Cups? Where the Cups work at the Casino after their adventure? This takes place in this AU, where you are a waitress and occasional dancer. I am also using a new format, so we'll see if I like it.

"Y/N..." Dice said, a bit of a nervous tone in his strong voice. You looked up at him, peeling your eyes away reluctantly from the book you'd been interested in.

"Yes, Dice?" You responded, smiling that innocent smile that Mugs had always called 'your trademark'.

"I'd like to speak with you for a minute."

He pulled you into the staff only area, where Mugs was practicing his shuffling of cards and Cups was shaking a can of hairspray. You motioned to Mugs and pointed at Cups, to which Mugman immediately snatched the hairspray right out of his hands, throwing it to Hopus Pocus and him making it disappear.

He flashed a thumbs up at you.

"So, Y/N, we'll be dancing soon." Dice began. You nodded, showing that you were following.
"I just wanted to say..."

"Don't screw this up. Wasn't saying you would, but based on this performance, Boss was gonna promote you to a Supervisor and Dancer. Y'know. Watching the kitchen and Casino itself to make sure everything's cooking right. And people aren't brawling," He added.

"I... Wasn't supposed to tell you that."

You giggled, making him blush slightly.

"It's okay, Dice. I won't snitch on ya'."
========
A few minutes later, you were sitting backstage in your flashy navy blue dance costume. You and Dice were supposed to sing, 'Baby It's Cold Outside' since, it was starting to get cold, and it was a bit of a jazzy song.

Someone sat down next to you. He must have noticed your red face, because Mugs grasped your hand and looked into your eyes.

"It is a nerve-wracking situation, right, Y/N?" Mugs said, in his adorable British accent.

"More like nerve DESTROYING," You responded. This made you two laugh for a little.
"Just smile and dance. You'll do great!" Mugs said, giving you a high five and a pat on the back.

You heard him announcing it on the microphone onstage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, and all other things!"
"It is the courtesy of me, Mugman, to introduce Mista King Dice and Miss Y/N, in Baby, It's Cold Outside!" The audience applauded, before Mugs clapped and got off the stage, taking a seat in the front row.

The instrumental began as you and Dice walked out onto the stage.

You glanced down at Mugman in the front row, sitting up straight with a smile on his face, and Cuphead next to him, his legs crossed, slouching down, playing with his sleeves.

Hoo boy. This was gonna be long.
========
After the performance, you sat down backstage as Mugs and Cups came in.
"You did great, Y/N! I didn't even see you miss a move, except for that one little stumble! But it was great!" Mugman rambled.

"Yeah, yeah. You did fine," Cuphead said, rolling his eyes and shaking your hand.

"How lovely," You said sarcastically.

The three of you went out to the bar, but not before Dice pulled you aside.
"Y/N... You did a lot better than I've ever seen you perform." He said, blushing and offering you a bouquet of roses.

"Thanks, Dice. You did great."

You gave him a little peck on the cheek before he turned red.
You both went out to the bar, where the Devil announced to your patrons that you got the promotion.

"Fine job, Y/N." He complimented, giving you a friendly slap on the back.

Cups poured you all drinks, pouring you hot chocolate, your favorite.

"To Y/N!" Dice shouted.
"To Y/N!" Everyone repeated.

You kissed Dice before joining the celebration.

It was gonna be a fun night.
