Summary
Sunday narrowed his eyes imperceptibly. Aventurine was certainly as capricious as others described him. “I don’t make a habit of gambling.” He forced out his next words. “But…I suppose I would be amenable.”
“I'm glad you came around.” Aventurine let the poker chip fall and leaned forward. His eyes were hypnotic under the headache inducing lights. Almost soothing, even. “Even if you don’t gamble, isn’t the idea of taking a risk exciting? Winning or losing everything…all determined by chance.”
Sunday scoffed softly, allowing himself to emote freely for the first time that night. Now that he and Aventurine had made a deal, he had slightly more wiggle room. “I don’t take risks, Mr. Aventurine. With my plans, nothing is left up to chance. When I play, I play with the utmost certainty that I will win.”
He and Aventurine made searing eye contact for what felt like an eternity before the blond man huffed out a laugh and broke it. “You’re an interesting one.” He said, bemused.
A ghost of a smile crossed Sunday’s face. “I could say the same about you, Mr. Aventurine.”
Their game had already begun.
