for aventurine, most nights were spent in casinos.

he loved a good gamble, after all, always chasing the thrill of a good game. this, more often than not, led him to the bright lights of the casino, spending the nights gambling and drinking without a care. of course, they'd be by his side throughout this, no matter how long he decided to spend in his heady mixture of risk and alcohol.

but some nights were more rough than the others.

they'd worked for him long enough to know he'd usually keep himself under control. after all, he had an image to maintain. but sometimes the facade would slip away, and he'd indulge in his greed a little too much.

it was one of those nights.

"princess.." he murmured into their neck, pressing kisses to the warm bit of skin. "let's play one more round, shall we?" he grinned, his words slurring together in an almost incomprehensible mess. he'd been playing for a while, drinking away the night without a care, and it had brought him here, drunk and holding onto them like they were his lifeline.

they sighed, brushing the hair out of his hazy eyes, trying to hold his face up. he merely grinned at them lazily, eyes unfocused and hands gripping their waist tight so they wouldn't let go.

...yeah, he was drunk.
