Kaveh and Aventurine (you can do separately and add other characters as well) with a female s/o who generally is dressing and acting tomboyish who plays infinity nikki. and before they can even say a word she deadpans "my inner child wants to be a pretty princess"

Aventurine lounged on the velvet chaise in his opulent quarters, flipping a golden coin between his fingers. His partner sat cross-legged on the carpet, her usual tomboyish getup replaced by an oversized hoodie and joggers. Yet, her sharp focus wasn’t on him for once—it was on her phone.

He leaned forward, peering over her shoulder. “What’s so captivating, darling? Planning your next heist?”

She deadpanned without missing a beat, “Infinity Nikki. My inner child wants to be a pretty princess.”

Aventurine paused mid-flip, the coin catching the light as he tilted his head. “Your inner child? Fascinating. I always thought your inner child was more… rebellious. Breaking rules, climbing trees, that sort of thing.”

“Everyone’s got layers,” she said, shrugging. “Right now, I just want to wear something sparkly and twirl around like a fairytale princess. Got a problem with that?”

He chuckled, amused by her defensive tone. “None whatsoever. In fact, I rather like this new side of you. Very… endearing.”

She squinted at him suspiciously. “You’re making fun of me, aren’t you?”

“Never,” he said with mock sincerity, placing a hand on his heart. “But if you’re serious about this ‘princess’ fantasy, perhaps I should commission a dressmaker. You’d look quite fetching in silk and sequins.”

She rolled her eyes but couldn’t suppress a small smile. “Don’t push your luck, Kakavasha.”

The sound of her using his real name sent a ripple of warmth through him, though he quickly masked it with a grin. “Oh, but luck is my specialty. Shall I wager on how long it’ll take before you start demanding a tiara?”

She smirked. “Long enough for you to lose your bet.”

Aventurine laughed, sitting beside her and watching as she swiped through the game’s options. Despite her casual tone, he could see how much she enjoyed it—the way her eyes lit up when she found the perfect dress or the soft smile that played on her lips as she admired her creations.

“Tell you what,” he said, leaning closer. “You keep playing your princess game, and I’ll handle the real-world part. After all, every princess deserves a palace.”

“And a king?” she teased.

“Only if she wants one,” he replied smoothly, twirling the coin in his hand. “I’m perfectly content being your loyal jester, as long as I can see that smile.”

For once, she didn’t have a comeback. Instead, she turned back to the game, the faintest blush coloring her cheeks.

As Aventurine watched her, he thought to himself: A princess she may be, but she was still the wild card in his deck—and he wouldn’t have it any other way.

Kaveh was sprawled across the divan in their shared apartment, a rare moment of calm in his otherwise chaotic schedule. He was sketching the blueprint for a new project when the distinct sound of musical chimes caught his ear. Glancing up, he saw his partner, dressed in her usual tomboyish attire—loose pants and a cropped hoodie—but entirely engrossed in her phone.

“What are you playing?” Kaveh asked, curious.

She didn’t even glance up, her finger swiping through an array of vibrant outfits on the screen. “Infinity Nikki. My inner child wants to be a pretty princess, so I’m letting her.”

Kaveh blinked, his pencil frozen mid-air. The stark delivery of her statement caught him off guard, and for a moment, he wasn’t sure if she was serious. Then he saw the delighted smile that tugged at her lips as she customized her character in a glittering ball gown.

“I see,” he said, his voice softening. “I didn’t know you had such… refined tastes deep down.”

“Refined?” she echoed with a raised brow, finally looking at him. “Don’t act like you’re not impressed. Look at this dress. If you designed something half this good, your debt might’ve been paid off by now.”

Kaveh sputtered, torn between indignation and amusement. “Excuse me? I’ll have you know, I designed the Palace of Alcazarzaray! It’s practically a jewel of Sumeru!”

She smirked. “And yet, no ballrooms. What kind of palace is that?”

Kaveh groaned theatrically, clutching his chest. “You wound me. But fine, if a ballroom is what you want, I’ll add it to my next design. Just don’t expect me to put you in charge of the budget.”

“Deal,” she replied with a grin, her attention already back on the game.

For the rest of the evening, Kaveh couldn’t help but glance at her now and then, his heart warmed by her childlike joy. Despite her usual tough demeanor, this side of her was charmingly disarming.

Later that night, while she was still lost in the world of Infinity Nikki, Kaveh added a sketch to his pile—a grand ballroom filled with cascading light, floral arrangements, and intricate designs that echoed the elegance of a fairy tale. In the center, he imagined her twirling in a gown just like the ones she admired in the game.

Maybe, just maybe, the next palace he designed would be for his princess.
