Summary
Chance's days go by routine. Work at his casino for a bit, then unwind after giving all of the remaining work to Elliot and the others. It's a rather mundane way of living, until it got disrupted by a customer whose sorrow led him to be horrendously drunk at his own place. He was immediately smitten, but unlike gambling, this was a risk he was unsure of taking. It's all a matter of love and taking his chances on it.

Summary
“I’m fine,” Phainon said, but it felt like he was lying. Why did it feel like he was lying? “I’m so fine.”
Mydei took another long sip, the faintest glimmer of teeth showing as he grinned around the lip of the bottle.
“You sound very normal about this,” he said, dryly. “Unless—wait. Are you a homophobe, Phainon?”
Phainon practically choked on air. “What? No! Absolutely not! I just—you—I didn’t expect…”
“Didn’t expect me to like men?”
Or: Phainon realizes he's gay, and then realizes he's been in love with Mydei all along.

Summary
He cleared his throat, and Mydei couldn’t help but slide his gaze back towards him with his own questioning look. Phainon inhaled a sharp breath and went on, “I was just thinking if you wanted to go on a date tomorrow.”
Mydei stilled. Slowly, very slowly, he turned his head and stared at him.
He heard that right.
Right?

Summary
“Please don’t slam the books.” A stern voice cuts through the stillness.
Phainon jumps in fright, clutching at his chest to will his heartbeat to slow as he turns to face the person who interrupted his brooding. As soon as he takes in what’s before him, he forgets how to think.
A man stands across from him, arms folded neatly across his chest, watching him behind a pair of simple black frames that suggest he’s already written Phainon off as a lost cause. He’s sharp and poised, biceps bulging even beneath his loose-fitting jumper, and the worn edges of the neckline leave a sliver of his clavicle on display that Phainon can’t seem to look away from.
