Not So Simple (Root Pack x Reader)

Chapter 7: Dangerous Company

I made it to the die house safe and sound. No angry carnations threatening my well being or any other incidents to report. 

Crossing over to Isle 2 I stopped a moment to take in the surroundings of this lovely carnival I called home and work. I was lucky enough to get a home not to far away from where I usually set up to do my tricks and games. My house though was right next to Grim's tower.

The dragon was nothing but kind to I and I greatly enjoyed when we talked, unfortunately I couldn't have him over for snacks very often. The house was much too small for him and I always hated how uncomfortable it made him when he did visit. 

Anyways, I was walking home. Just when I was passing Djimmi's tent I heard some laughter. High pitched and almost cackling laughter. Ohohohohoho~ I know that laughter anywhere. Looks like they had some fun after the party. 

Chuckling to myself I decided to leave them to what ever they were now doing. I would make sure to tease them both about it later. 

I continued home and took a sharp turn to get to my little corner of the isle when I ran face first into someone quite tall. For a minute I wondered if I had ran into Grim in my little haze. These notions were dismissed as I glanced upwards at the person. 

I, had never met them before. The individual had on a purple suit and a dice for a head. Strange, but not the strangest thing I've seen here. 

"Sorry sir I wasn't looking where I was going." 

"No problem doll," they flashed me a wide grin and held out a hand for me to shake. "Name's King Dice, who might you be?" 

"(Y/N), nice to meet you." I shook his hand quickly and was about to walk around him when he blocked my path again. 

"Say, I work down at the casino over on Isle 3, maybe a fine thing such as yourself would like to stop by and pay little old me a visit sometime." He held my hand and planted a small peck on the top of my knuckles. 

I was starting to get nervous, this guy... 'King Dice' seemed like a sleeze bag. My house was right behind him, but he wouldn't get out of the way without an answer. 

"Umm... maybe sometime, I really gotta get home right now so... "

"Oh of course I'll be out of your way doll." He moved off to the side and shot me one last grin over his shoulder. "Do hope you visit~ Good eye candy is so hard to come by these days." 

And with that he was gone. Walked round the corner and into the die house that lead to Isle 3. 

"Ugh... what a creep." I walked into my house to get ready for my work day tomorrow. Maybe I would read a book later, to take my mind off that.

Oh well at least I wouldn't have to deal with that guy ever again. No way I was gonna go visit him, not only does he seem creepy but he also works in a casino, run by the Devil himself. No thanks, I'm dodging that bullet fast. 

I laughed a little to myself. Yeah, never seeing him again. Ever...
