It's been so very long since Leona Kingscholar kissed Ruggie. Still, he listened for Leona's words every day and prayed that he missed him. Ruggie was dead inside cause he knew it was all pretend. He closed his eyes because he was going off the deep end.

Again.

Ever since Vil had started dating someone, Leona decided for fun, to see how jealous he could make Vil. Mainly because he needed a distraction from his and his brother, Falena's last argument.

Leona had decided to fake date Ruggie with Ruggie's consent. Ruggie was living for the rush. For that royal flush. But he took what he could get. Ruggie played his final ace for Leona's pretty face. It had tasted like scotch and cigarettes.

Ruggie couldn't help falling, going all in. Though Ruggie's odds were bleak. Ruggie couldn't help needing to believe in, finding what he sought.

Though that fake dating made Ruggie fall for Leona and boy he fell hard just for all of it to go to vein. Leona started dating Vil. Ruggie tried being happy for him but it hurt even if Ruggie hadn't admitted it. Ruggie'a losing streak wasn't broken. It just seemed to grow longer and longer.

It almost led to an overblot.
