Prologue

Love is like gambling.

Gambling involves sacrificing something - usually money - for a specific prize. There is a catch, though; one is not guaranteed to win the prize. That makes his or her actions increasingly risky.

Isn't love the same way? A person sacrifices his or her affection to receive someone else's love. They may not succeed, though, which leaves them in a state of heartbreak... or, with gambling, some kind of debt.

Some people think that love and gambling aren't worth it. Why would you give something if you faced the chance of not getting it back? Well, those are just the rules of gambling. Naturally, everyone must abide by the rules. Unless there is a cheater.

Cheaters win huge amounts of money unless they get caught. And Usui Takumi stole hundreds of girls' hearts... but it didn't matter. As far as he was concerned, he didn't have a heart that someone could steal back.

But maybe... maybe it was just waiting.

Just the prologue, so nothing much yet! More to come, I promise.
