~A/n~ fluff is not my strong suit T^T
The first day was fine, second great, third bad, fourth awful, and fifth? We'll see. You had recently been hired to be a dealer at the Lotus Casino. A beautiful establishment owned by Quackity, your new boss.
Although not as popular as his strip club next door, this casino was no children's playground. You thought you were dreaming when you first stepped foot in the building. You could tell Quackity had poured his all into this building. Speaking of Quackity he had frequently passed by with fleeting comments that soon turned into cheesy pickup lines.
"Looking gorgeous today,"
"Do you believe in love at first sight or should I walk by again?"
"You're so beautiful that you made me forget my pickup line," tonight was different, however.
Quackity was nowhere in sight. "Hello Punz," you greeted the bartender. "Hey (y/n), what can I get you?" "A red lotus if you don't mind," I was long past closing time and your hopes of seeing the raven hair male had all but disappeared. Punz threw together the drink, handing it to you. "Thanks," you smiled.
He went to respond but something caught his eye behind you. You turned in your seat. Quackity had come from the private upstairs. You assumed his office to be up there. "(Y/n), join me over here would you?" He shouted across the floor. He didn't sound mad, but that didn't make you any less frightened. Had you done something wrong?
You slunk over to the table he sat by. Quackity had gotten out one of the decks of cards you had put away earlier. "Sit, please," he smiled. You sat down as he asked.
"Let's wager a little game,"
"on?"
Quackity began shuffling the cards around in his hand. "If I win you have to go on a date," his eyes flashed you to you. "With me," thank God you weren't in trouble. This was so much better. You raised an eyebrow as you drank your cranberry-infused vodka. "And if I win?" You leaned forward on your elbows. "What would you want?" He also leaned forward, close enough for you to grasp his tie, playing with it.
"I might want something more, a kiss perhaps," you said softly, looking up through your lashes. Quackity was currently looking at you like you were the only person on earth. You had him wrapped around your finger. He cleared his throat before handing out the cards. "Game?" You asked holding them up.
"Bullshit," he replied. "Dealer goes second," he reminded when you paused. You glanced at your cards. "Are jokers wilds?" "Of course," he hummed. You picked out the 1s in your hand, setting them face down. "Three 1s," he raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything. "Two 2s," he said setting down cards. Sucker. You had been lying.
"One 3,"
"One 4," the game continued until you set down two of your final three cards.
"Two 10s,"
"bullshit," you flipped them over, growling. An eight and a five. Quackity chuckled. "Looks like I'm winning gorgeous," you picked up the entire pile of cards. There was no way you would win. It wasn't bad to lose. But you had wanted the satisfaction of holding the in over his head. Soon enough Quackity was down to his last card. You were ready to call bullshit the second he laid it down.
"One king,"
"bullshit," Quackity smirked before slowly flipping it over.
A joker stared up at you. "I'll see you tomorrow night for that date," he said beginning to walk away. "But I have a shift tomorrow night," you called after him. "Not anymore," Quackity chuckled over his shoulder. You began putting away the cards that had been left out. Boy was your friend about to get a kick out of this. You were going on a date with your new boss tomorrow.
