You didn’t mean to find out about Aventurine’s little hobby. For you, he’s the annoyingly handsome coworker that bugs you during missions. And he’s also a gambler.

You started asking him silly questions about the subject out of curiosity. Does he always win? How much does he lose? Is he an addict? Soon enough, he began taking you to the casino. Only to watch, because he’d never allow you to play. It’s a dangerous world, he says.

Taking you to the casino became a habit. He just loves it when you sit beside him, looking pretty while he plays poker. He swears you bring him better luck.

It was surprising how close you two grew, but even more so when he started wasting the money he won on you.

“I’ll buy you anything you want,” he beams, leading you out of the gambling house, his thumb caressing your wrist. Who wouldn’t spoil their cute coworker like this? He finds it amusing, that twinkle in your eyes when he buys the things you love. “Come on, today’s a special day.”
