King of Hearts (King dice x reader)

Part 13

Dice POV

After Y/n falls asleep I make my way downstairs to make sure my team was setting up their work stations. I didn't want a repeat of today mayhem.

I arrive in the casino and look around, the bouncers are removing the last of the guests and my team is thankfully setting up.

I help out whoever I can and soon enough everyone has left.

The casino is eerily quiet, I can hear my footsteps echoing as I walk around.

I sit down at the bar and put my head in my hands.

I feel really bad. Y/n had been through so much, I could tell she was nervous this morning yet I threw her into the deep end without even showing her around.

I get up, grab a bottle of whiskey and pour some into a glass. I sip at it as I return to my seat.

"Are you planning on paying for that?"

"Shut up" I say

"What's with the bad mood?" The Devil chuckles "Y/n finally get smart enough to leave your sorry ass?"

"I didn't even show her around, I just gave her a list and basically told her to figure it out herself, then I kept her working for 11 HOURS!" I reply

The Devil chuckles and I feel him flick my back with his tail as he sits down beside me. I continue to stare down at my whiskey.

"You've never been one for this guilt and self-pity Dice so what has changed?" The Devils asks

I don't respond and just take a sip from my drink.

"You know, when you brought her in I thought you were just trying to close her mom's contract, but then you stopped me from taking her soul" The Devil says

"That was because of the energy resonating off her" I argued

"If she meant nothing to you you wouldn't be feeling bad now and you would have kicked her out of your apartment days ago" The Devil snickers 

"Did you come here for a reason or was it just to annoy me?" I ask

"I was just going to remind you that you are singing tomorrow but I like this conversation much more" The Devil replied

"I'm going to bed" I say

"Awww, it was just getting interesting" The Devil wines

I gulp the rest of my whiskey and put the cup in the sink.

"Goodnight" I say 

"Goodnight" The Devil replies

I begin to back to my room until I hear The Devil calling out.

"Hey Dice, don't you think Y/n seems a bit too soft? You best keep an eye on her, wouldn't want her getting damaged" The Devil chuckles

"What the hell do you mean by that?" I yell and start to walk back over to him

"Oh come on Dice you know the saying, it' all fun and games until someone gets hurt" The Devil says

I stop in front of him and stare at him. I had always been in on his plans, I wasn't used to being a victim of them.

"Then it's hilarious" The Devil smirks and disappears in a plume of smoke.

I'm left alone again. 

I walk back to my room and focus on the echos of my footsteps until I reach my door. I feel nothing.

I open it and enter my apartment. I feel nothing.

I walk to my guest room and open the door. I feel nothing.

I see Y/n sleeping and walk over to her. I feel nothing.

I watch her chest rise and fall, she occasionally shifts and calls out. She is having a nightmare. I focus on feeling nothing.

I fail.
