[fortitudo]

Er.... nevermind, I've never played before either.

[he shrugs.]

I think I only got out of there with one hundred extra dollars.... those slots were brutal.

[needsmoregreen]

O-Oh um...[Awkward shift...]

Then maybe Go Fish will be better? But um...that's only card game I know so...uh...

[When she heard what he said next, she simply stared at him]

But that's still better than nothing! One hundred extra dollars is still good! You can buy a lot with it like um...a lot of potions or pokeballs?

action;

[fortitudo]

Alright!

[he goes to take the deck of cards out of her hands, and now he's just shuffling.]

Go Fish it is.

Yeah but I was hoping to win big, I guess I'm not that lucky.

action;

[needsmoregreen]

Go Fish it-!

[She was going to shout it out but she quickly covered her mouth.]

Whoops, I don't want to wake up the others. [She whispered before giggling. Man, when did she get so...giddy?]

That's okay though, I think...I like you better like this though. [Take that what you will]

[fortitudo]

Yeah, we better be quiet.

[...And then he hears her say something like that and he can't help but feel his face heat up a little bit. He chuckles a little, and now he's just going to hand out the cards.]

Well... let's see if you're better at this than me.

[needsmoregreen]

Hm...I wonder what would happen if we did accidentally wake them up? Ahh, I don't want to make them angry.

[As he handed out the cards, she let out a small mumble. Her cards sucked!]

We'll just have to see who is the lucky one tonight! So...do you have any sixes?

[fortitudo]

We'd probably have to hide if we did wake them.

[...kuh.... he does have a six! He frowns and hands it over to her]

No fair, you got me already.

[needsmoregreen]

But they're going to find us eventually so we'll need to explain what happened.

[And all the shenanigans involved. If Bianca was capable of an evil laugh, she would be doing that right now. Instead, she'll have an evil smirk!]

I'm doing good so far! Let's see...do you have any threes then?

[fortitudo]

What would you say to them anyways?

[OH GOD?! She... did it again! Lucas just.... hands over his three....]

You're... cheating...! Don't do it again!

[needsmoregreen]

Hm...[Let her think about this!]

I would say that it's a contest! Whoever stays up the latest wins! They're awake right now so we might as well let them join in!

[In which Bianca just stares at Lucas once more.]

If you're letting me win in purpose, that's also cheating too! How about a seven? You don't have that right?

[fortitudo]

Alright well I guess that would be ok-...

[....WHAT THE FRICK IS THIS?!]

Wh... what?! No really, I'm not letting you win at all! How could I? [he hands over his seven!]

You... you really are lucky....!

[needsmoregreen]

[With that, Bianca's eyes widen and stares at Lucas some more. REALLY? REALLY?!]

Are you sure you're not letting me win like that? [Pause] It is nice but I really want to win this fair and square!

But that is true...[Let's see, what other card can she get?] How about a four then?

[fortitudo]

I swear I'm not!

[he shakes his head.] No... thank god, go fish.

[needsmoregreen]

[She let out a small pout before letting out a sigh. Oh thank goodness too..

Oh hey, she got a 2!]

Okay then, it's your turn! What do you have hm?

[fortitudo]

[yeah seriously, good thing this stopped.]

Hm.... do you have any... eights?

[needsmoregreen]

[Spoilers, Bianca has ESP]

Nope, go fish! Let's see...do you have another three?

[Just two more threes here!]

[fortitudo]

[OR MAYBE SHE'S CHEATING WITH HER MUSHARNA. but he picks up another card and it's an ace....]

Hah, no I don't! Go fish.

[needsmoregreen]

Oooohhh, I guess I just had a good start early on! [She let out a small pout before staring at her cards. So much for thinking they suck...]

I swear, I'll win in the end!

All right, here I go! Do you have...

[AND THUS, CONTINUES THE ULTIMATE BATTLE OF GO FISH! WHO WILL WIN IN THE END?!]

[fortitudo]

[THE BATTLE WENT ON STRONG! But in the end it turns out that she...

....really kicked his ass with this.

And now Lucas just groans, moving to slide off the couch and he's now on the floor, staring at the ceiling.]

I was... totally defeated!

[needsmoregreen]

[To be honest, Bianca was a little nervous that she wasn't going to win. She was facing against a Champion after all, of course he would win!

She can't describe it but she was starting to get worried seeing Lucas being competitive like that. It was expected but she didn't expect a dramatic change in his demeanor like that! Even during her pokemon battles with Hilda, she was never like that! ...Note to self, never make Lucas mad.

In the end, she was just happy to see him return to his normal self. Whew!]

That's why you should never underestimate the power of Bianca! And now...

[She points at him. Was she really going to do this?]

Since you lost, you need to do something for me. [But her tone of voice was noticeably quiet compared to what she said moments before]

[fortitudo]

[don't worry about it too much Bianca, he just gets serious when there's a fight, he just has that sturdy but calm nature and everything.

In any case... when she said that he just looked over at her from his position on the ground.]

What is it?

[needsmoregreen]

[At first, Bianca opened her mouth but nothing came out of it. Right now, there was an obvious blush on her face as she struggled to find the right words to say. It was so much easier when she tried to say it behind a mirror but real life never matched her expectations did it? She had been practicing this for a while now, she can do this!

She was leaning closer to him, so much so that she stopped before she accidentally bumped into him. It took her a while to think about it but...with most of her pokemon friends being gone so quickly, she had to wonder what would happen if Lucas just disappeared like that? Plus, after her discussion with Mariko too...

Don't hesitate, Bianca, just say it!]

W-Would...you...would you...would...it...be...okay...

...

WoulditbeokayifIaskedforakiss? [And it was all in a low mumble too...]

[fortitudo]

[....? Huh...?!

Alright, that was seriously the last thing he was expecting from her. He was still waiting her answer since she knew that he obviously had a big crush on her, so he wasn't going to push it or anything and just let her do things at her own pace but... hearing her ask that he just... stared for a moment.

But then he slowly sat up, looking at her in disbelief for a few moments.]

You.... um... you want a kiss from me? [oh god, does this mean she does like him?! don't lead him on here! and if he knew she had practiced for this he would have blushed harder than he already was.]

[needsmoregreen]

[She couldn't even look him straight in the eyes anymore, all she did was blush every time she did. Was this what Hilda felt when she first found out she liked Touya? She hoped so. Let's just hope she doesn't screw this one up again.

She lets out a small nod before finally looking straight at him. However, she could feel her face heat up even more]

[fortitudo]

[Oh.... well he can't turn anything like this down, not even if he wanted to. Lucas found himself smiling a little as well, pretty sheepishly though, but he just went to sit closer to her, right in front of her now and he just went to lean in a bit further.

He had hesitated at first, but they had already done this before so... here goes nothing, again.

He just goes towards her fully now, closing the distance between the two of them, and eventually his lips go against hers, gently of course- he always wants to be careful with her.]
