Winning you (Sensaka)

Requested by: @Freboredom
Pairing: Senra x Sakata
Casino AU

"And this round is being won by Senra-sama as well.", the dealer announced as the others clapped. "Hah... I hate this but I guess you win this time, Senra.", a brunette said as he shoved his chips towards Senra who only smiled before he took the chips with him and stood up from his seat.

"Well, maybe you have better luck next time, Urata—". He heard some uproar as he looked at the table close to him to see a familiar redhead with his friend next to him.

"Good job! Let's go out to drink sometime with the money you've won just now!", his purple-haired friend exclaimed as the redhead just chuckled awkwardly. "Shima-kun, I didn't even exchange the money yet so we can still lose it.

And you should really drink less...", Sakata mumbled when he noticed that his friend looked more hyper than usually.

He then noticed the blonde looking at them as his expression immediately brightened up and he ran up to the other male.

"Senra-san! Are you here gambling today as well?", Sakata asked and Senra could literally see the puppy ears and the puppy tail swaying around as he chuckled. "Yes, as you can see I just played a bit...", Senra answered as he lifted his bag of chips. Sakata smiled as he clapped on fascination.

"Wow! You won so much already! Anyway, do you want to play a game with me today?", Sakata asked as Senra could only sigh smiling when he saw how eager the red-haired male was to play a game with him. Now that the blonde thought about it, the redhead was quite fond of him for some reason even though he couldn't find the reason why the other male should think so.

Senra didn't know but Sakata of course knew why. He had liked Senra since they first met. It started from respect and slowly changed into love as the time passed. The first time, the two of them met was in this casino as well.

Sakata was just starting with gambling but he had a high winning streak as he won one game after another that the other gamblers thought he was cheating.

They all called the dealers to check if he was cheating which didn't work anyway as cheating was allowed as long as one wasn't caught cheating. So in the end, the other gamblers even tried bribing him so he would tell them his secrets.

Turns out that Sakata was actually playing fair and square, without any cheats and was only winning with his ability and luck.

Sakata was actually soon getting annoyed by these games because, even if he won every time, it just wasn't any fun in that. And all the people he played with only played for the pure reason of money and cheated the whole time.

He expected that when he came into the casino but he decided that if he didn't have any fun, then he would just leave. He decided that this would be the last day where he would gamble.

That was when he met Senra. There were already rumors about the blonde being the best gambler in this whole country but that was the first time he actually saw him.

And to say that he was handsome was an understatement. Sakata felt his breath being taken away when he first saw the blonde walking in with his suit.

And when they made eye contact and Senra actually walked to him he felt so nervous as he could feel his heart beating so fast as if he just ran a marathon. And when the blonde gave him a small smile he wondered if he could actually go home alive.

"So you are the new gambler everyone has been talking about. Playing without any cheats but still winning nonetheless... that is quite impressive, isn't it?", Senra asked as Sakata looked away as he played with his hands.
