Summary: Why does he play cards with this guy again? Sequel to Limits (second) and Dark (third).
A/N Okay I have no clue what this drabble has to do with the prompt. At all. So. . . yeah. Also, credit to my awesome Prussia mrslroxfor Traian's nickname.
"So, how are things with Trainpire, anyway?"
Lukas says nothing, continuing to stare down at his cards. Gilbert's poker face melts into a smirk as he waits for Lukas to play. "Come on," he prods. "I know something's up."
"Nothing's up."
"Something's always up with you guys, it just happens to be negative this time. Come on man, you're throwing me off my groove."
Lukas raises a thin eyebrow, carefully putting a card down on the table. "Since when do you have a 'groove'?"
"Since I just won again," Gilbert says, dropping his set and leaning back in his chair. He uses his hands to talk, big gestures to match his personality. "Seriously, I never win this much, there's a situation and I'm not liking it."
Lukas tosses the rest of his cards at the deck. "Why do you make me talk."
"'Cause otherwise you'd never say anything at all. You always just sit there and glare at everyone, it's no wonder your boyfriend feels like you don't do anything for him."
"That's not true."
"Does he know that?"
Lukas suddenly has no idea where this conversation is even going -- the problem, if there is one, isn't with him. It's with Traian. The Romanian is always having problems that require work to solve; Lukas has found that if he ignores it, it generally goes away. But this is all assuming there is a problem, which there isn't.
Or rather. There's the other problem. The problem Lukas isn't going to tell him about because it doesn't matter, really.
Gilbert barks a laugh. "You guys crack me up," he says. Lukas throws an apple from the fruitbowl at him, reaching for another when he just barely dodges.
"We're not a soap opera for your amusement," he retorts.
"You should be, the ratings are skyrocketing."
Well, then, Lukas is going to have to see to it that they don't get any higher.
