"Alright... We each get five cards. The goal is to try to get a set of something like... five, six, and seven of hearts... etcetra. The more cards you have in the set, the more of a chance you have of winning, that, along with how much the cards are worth." As he explained all the rules, dealt out the cards, holding up his own cards and sorting them by suite. "We'll play a practice game first, with no betting or clothes shedding, alright? So you can get the hang of it."

Akira smiled and nodded. "Sounds good to me," he said softly, trying to remember everything Kaden had just told him. After he dealt the cards, Akira looked at his own. He bit his lip lightly and glanced at his mate over them. "Just practice?" he said softly, looking down at his cards with uncertainty.
He wondered briefly if his facade would work on his mate. In his hands, he had all the cards for a royal flush. He knew before then that that was good, so he wasn't worried that he was thinking of the wrong move. He only wondered if he could fool Kaden without giving himself away. Too bad it's only practice. he thought.

Kaden grinned and nodded. He had a pretty good hand himself. A nine, 10, and Queen of Spades, a two of Diamonds and a four of Hearts. "Yeah, just practice. Alright, want to go first? Put down the cards you don't want and draw the same number of cards from the stack... unless you want to keep your hand," he instructed, grinning.

Akira sighed, pouting a little to hide his smile. "I... I don't really think it'll make much of a difference, so I'll just keep the cards I have," he said softly. "What are you going to do?" he asked.

Kaden raised an eyebrow. "Alright then. I'll take two," he replied, dropping the two and the four and grabbing two new cards. He glanced at them with a blank face, but he also had to work to keep from feeling anything about them- playing against a Sensaforian was going to be quite a challenge. He had just received a Jack of Spades and a four a Clubs. "Ready?" he asked, grinning like an idiot.

Akira tilted his head, studying Kaden carefully. He wondered what cards he had picked up to make him so happy. "Yeah...," he said softly. "Let's put them down at the same time, okay?" he suggested. "Are we allowed to?"

Kaden shrugged and nodded. "Yeah, sure," he stated, "Ready?... Go." He flipped his cards down before looking over at Akira's cards and gaping. How was that possible?!

Akira laughed at Kaden's expression. "I think I won?" he asked, grinning. "Too bad this is only practice, or I would have had a good start."

Kaden laughed. "Yeah, really. I would have bet pretty high for my hand... You'd be getting a pretty good show," he joked with a wink. Then, he grabbed up all the cards and started to shuffle them again. "Alright, since you seem to have such a handle on this, we'll play for real this time."

Akira grinned, excitedly waiting for his cards. Awhile later, and the two young mates were starting to lose a lot of their clothes. Akira had on only his underwear, and Kaden his underwear and one sock- the Sensaforian had insisted that each sock be counted as on article of clothing. His first hand had turned out to be beginner's luck, but he had gotten in a few good hands without Kaden's backwards cheating.
The boy looked down at his cards, hiding all his uncertainty. He had nothing good. He turned in three cards, and picked up three more. A full house! Cool. He glanced up at his mate until they were ready to show eachother their cards.

Kaden wiggled the toes of his un-clothed foot as he thought about his move. He dropped a card and picked up another one. He pouted, but he actually had a decent hand. Four of his cards where numbered in the same suite, and they were pretty high, too.
The Incubus glanced over at Akira with a thoughtful look. The boy was doing better than he'd thought he would. He didn't have to cheat sometimes, though most of the time he did, just to make if fair. He knew Akira would probably get nervous if he was the only one that was more than half-naked... though Kaden doubted that his mate realized just how many times he'd actually made himself lose.
"Alright, place your bet... well... you only have your underwear... so..... your hair ribbon? Does that count?" he asked, wondering slightly, "Anyway... I bet my sock, just to play on the safe side." The Incubus winked playfully.

His hair ribbon. He had forgotten about that! "I'll bet my hair ribbon, then," he smiled slightly. "Since you reminded me of it...," he trailed off. Akira placed his cards down face up, glancing over at Kaden expectantly.

Kaden looked down at Akira's cards and blanked, looking back up at his own cards before pouting and tossing them down. "This isn't fair! I think you're the one that's cheating! How do you keep getting such amazing hands?!" he exclaimed, wrestling with his foot to pull his sock off before tossing it on the floor with the rest of thier clothes.

Akira giggled. "Maybe I'm just a natural at this poker?" he suggested lightly. "That, or luck is fond of me for now," he smiled. Because honestly, I still don't know what I'm doing half the time, he thought to himself. He started dealing out the cards after. He held them up, watching Kaden out of the corner of his eye as he did the same. Two two's, a seven, a Jack, and a King. The boy resisted the urge to pout as he replaced the seven and the King... with a different seven and a different King.
He smirked suddenly and looked up from his cards. "I bet my ribbon," he said softly.

Kaden glared down at his cards before giving Akira a funny look. He knew by now that the face the boy made... well, let's just say he could have been a wonderful actor. Kaden stuck his tongue out at him before looking down at his cards: a five, a nine, a ten, a Jack, and a Queen in all the same suite. He put down the five, but got a seven instead. He hoped he won because... well... he wanted Akira naked before he was. He shrugged slightly and snapped the waistband of his boxers. "I ain't got nothing left but these. Want some sunglasses," he joked, winking playfully.
