Work Text:

“I’m not losing again, you bastard!” Koga threw his next card down, careful not to show his hand. He knew it wouldn’t do any good though, not when the damned vampire sitting across from him had the biggest smile on his face.

He had introduced the game to his boyfriend earlier that day, who had been so curious about what was taking up so much of Koga’s precious time recently. Koga had spent more time rambling about his favorite cards and the various competitions he had won against his classmates than he had actually explaining the game to Rei. He had laughed out loud when Koga mumbled about how he and Tsukasa had actually played a few games together, teasing him over just how much of a softie he actually was. Rei had earned himself a bite for that. His arm was still proudly showing off the red marks left over.

It didn’t matter that he had enjoyed every minute of Koga’s talking (which honestly made Koga fall for him just a bit more, though he’d never admit it). It didn’t matter that he was innocently smiling at his boyfriend as if he hadn’t just entirely beaten him six times in a row. What mattered was that Koga wasn’t going to keep fucking losing against somebody who had only known how to play the game for under an hour and had beaten him. Every. Single. Time. Sometimes he really wished Rei’s bark really was just worse than his bite and that he wasn’t just stupidly perfect at everything he did. Even then he’d still manage to be stupidly perfect somehow. Fucking Rei Sakuma.

He swore under his breath as he slid out another card, knowing he’d lose before he could complete his combo. They had randomized the cards that both of them would use, Koga choosing not to use his strong set and preferring to go easy on Rei (which he now regretted). Somehow, Rei had managed to get a shit ton of good cards, despite not knowing how to use half of them.

Said vampire bastard simply smiled wider and placed down his own card, completing his seventh win against Koga, who just threw the rest of his cards down on the table and kissed him.

“Congrats on winning, you fuckin’ bastard. Can’t believe I fucking lost against ya at all! I hate you so much.”

Koga’s words were harsh. As usual.

(But his smile said otherwise. As usual.)
