~Now We're Both Winners~ (Dio Brando)

Dio Brando. That was the name the boy with golden locks went by. He was intelligent, cunning, and charming. So much potential but unfortunately, he was born into poverty in the slums of London. It was a shame that all the things he had couldn't be used to their potential. And as well as being poor, he was born into a home with an abusive father. He truly deserved a better life in a place where he could be cared for a thrive. But that just wasn't the case.

But because of Dio's intelligence, he was able to get around on his own. He would go into the local bar and bet on games of chess. He always seemed to be 5 steps ahead of his opponent. Not once have you ever seen the blonde lose. But some people get angry about losing to a thirteen year old boy and they show their anger. They would take it out on Dio and claim that he cheated even though he did play fair. He just had the brains to win.

You and Dio had met a few years ago, when he first started appearing at the bar. Your father owned that bar and he took you with feeling that you wouldn't be safe alone. Of course you were too young to do much so the days were pretty boring. There were never kids your age that came around more than once. Well, until Dio Brando showed up.

He came around the first time to buy booze. But because he was so young, your Dad obviously declined him. But he didn't stop asking. He pleaded and said that he would even pay extra. When questioned why he needed it so bad, he said his Dad, Dario, requested Dio to go pick it up. Dio stated that if he didn't, than his Dad would hurt him again. He gestured to his eye that had a dark circle around it. Your Dad obviously felt guilty that this unfortunate child had such an awful situation to be in. So your Dad gave it to him for free, as well as a free meal. Your Dad agreed to help Dio by giving these things to him, as well as letting him hang around in the bar so he wouldn't be home alone with his Dad. So naturally, you started to befriend the young boy. And you were friends with him ever since.

And as you've gotten older, you couldn't say that Dio wasn't attractive. He was incredibly handsome. Even at young age, you knew that this boy would grow into an extremely attractive man. And even though he was rather cold, being around him just seemed to warm you up. Every time that he walked into the bar, you couldn't help but smile.

"Good evening, Dio! Nice to see you today." You waved to the young blonde as he opened the door to the bar.
"Same goes for you, (y/n)." He walked over to the bar and sat on one of the stools, with his head being supported by his hand.
"Come here for your meal?"
"As always." He gave you a smile as his sharp eyes pierced through you.
"Well you're gonna have to wait. Dad isn't done with it yet. It's been really packed today." You apologized to him even though he didn't seem to mind.
"Such a shame. But I can wait."
"Good! Are you gonna try to win something while you wait then?"
"Actually, I'd like to play against you."
"Why? Think I could beat you?"
"Not even. I just don't think we've played together recently and I need something to do to pass the time."
"Fair enough," You roll your (e/c) eyes at his cockiness. "You're on, Brando!" You cheerfully walked over to the table Dio usually played chess at and took a seat as he followed.

"But," You looked up to meet Dio's amber eyes.
"But what?"
"When I win, I want something from you"
"I think you mean if you win. And what do you want exactly?" Dio put pouted his lips but started talking right after.
"I don't know exactly what yet, but something."
"Fine. But if I win then I want something from you."
"Hmph. Deal. But that won't be happening, darling."
"We'll see who's laughing after this."

Dio and you seemed to have an intense game. Well, on your side. For Dio, it seemed as he knew that he was gonna win. But with one move he made, it appeared that he had messed up. You made your move, confident that he had cornered himself and that victory would be yours.

"Checkmate." Dio's silky voice said as he his face grew a mischievous smirk.
"B-but-"
"Don't stutter on your words, (y/n). I told you that I would win." You slumped into your chair and crossed your arms. Now you had to give Dio something.
"Well, a deals a deal. So, what do you want, Dio?"
"Well..." Dio leaned forward and tucked a strand of (h/c) hair behind your ear. His hand didn't leave your face though. "I'd like to do this." Without even a second passing, Dio closed the gap between you and him. After a few seconds of initial shock, you finally melted into it. You ran your hand through his golden locks. Even though he was cold, his lips were so warm. His kiss was surprisingly soft, but full of passion. After a few seconds, you both came out of it. He put the same mischievous smirk that he always wore. "Now we're both winners."
