still thinking about aventurine with a former casino dealer reader...
#bee chats#bonus points if you met at your table and he picked up how good you are immediately and kinda...bookmarked you as a potential#checks in on you from time to time to see if you've grown into something worth harvesting#until one day you pierce through his armor with a quick throwaway comment that clearly shows you've seen more of him than he'd like#that you're almost too perceptive#that you've more than outgrown this struggling casino#the ipc picks it up within the week—what's one more business to them—and you're so unamused#he tells you that you're lucky#and you say 'no more than you are'#and he laughs because his luck is extraordinary don't you know?#you stare at him for a breath—his smile stays firm but there's gooseflesh rising on his skin pricking against him like an untrimmed rose#because for a moment he thinks you see him in a way that he doesn't quite understand#but you blink and the sensation fades away#and if he avoids you for a little bit#well—no one but him is ever going to know
