PARKING GARAGE
ANY CAR IN A STORM
PHOENIX CASINO HALL
WELCOME TO THE NEXT 168 HOURS
Phoenix Casino is a-flutter with activity and packed to the beak with guests. As a famously ever-changing space, the staff would be remiss if they didn't deck the crown jewel of the Golden Peacock out. The casino glitters from top to bottom, shining brighter than diamonds, rubies, sapphires, opals! Party-goers are shiny and glamorous with picture perfect makeup, fluttering gowns, and sharp suits. Card tables are packed and the slot machines are a-ringing as guests play, play, play! Prizes, luxury, booze, attractive people, it's the place that everyone wants to be at.
Those people being dragged inside by some invisible force...? Silly, they were so excited to come that their bodies moved before they realized what was happening. Those are struggles of joy and definitely not the casino's infamous ghost hands dragging unwilling guests to the party at the behest of the house. Look, they're literally hurling their bodies at the card tables with unrestrained glee!
All clocks indicating day hours and night hours have been removed from the casino. Once a guest has entered, their Watch will jam, making it impossible to keep track of the time. You don't need to worry about that tonight.

[The moment he is being addressed, Reno turns around to meet the eyes of some quite fancy looking guy who seems to fit in almost a little too much into this place. Turk skills always work, noticing even the minor details about the person in front of him.]
Well, gotta say, I was hopin' for something a bit more entertaining, ya know? There seem to be some fun prizes, so .. gettin' money's nice, but fun is nicer.
[He gives the guy another once over, a smirk playing on his lips]
Oh really? On what accounts could ya vouch for me then?
i'm bullying tseng already in other threads i gotta keep up my streak!!!
If only everyone thought like you, my friend! I'm sure the House would be ecstatic to know their guests prefer fun over money.
( which, all things considered, in a way, so does aventurine. maybe this is why he fits so well in the golden peacock, if his gambling addiction doesn't already make him fit in so perfectly.
a smile for a smirk, because aventurine so does enjoy people who can keep up with him. )
Hmm~ Let's just say I visit the casino a lot, and it's not often we see people like you, so willing to play the games they offer. Besides, what's the point of a game if we skip the fun parts and get to the prize? It feels too lackluster, don't you agree?
( same with gambling, for him - it's about the experience, and the uncertainty of how it would end. )
All it would take is a bit of power abuse and mention how a good friend of mine is none too happy with his prize, and I'm sure they would be all over trying to please you this time around.
I got a good job, I got money, but fun is another thing. 'specially when it's of the physical kind. And you're right, the game itself is half the fun. I don't wanna be lucky, I want to be entertained.
[Reno quirks up one mismatched eyebrow and tilts his head ever so slightly at the guy's words.]
Why wouldn't people want to play the games? Isn't that what they're here for?
[Both the guests and the games that is, though then it dawn's on Reno that he also just ended up here somehow, without knowing how, so that might just as well be true for people that aren't quite as outgoing and wanting to get high on life as he does.]
Power abuse, hm? Oh, I like that. Well then, good friend. Name's Reno, and you are ..? You look like you can tell me a bit more 'bout this place.
( words aventurine could have said himself, ironically. it's almost like looking into a mirror, except, he thinks, reno seems to experience genuine joy in the fun he has, for the things he indulges in. unless he's an exceptionally good actor - something aventurine might find out eventually. )
I guess you could say some people prefer to play the games they consent to playing. Being suddenly brought to a casino isn't the dream vacation to them, unfortunately. ( which he can't relate, despite still looking to get back home.
aventurine extends a hand for his new friend to take. it's about time he met someone on the same wavelength as him. ) Aventurine. A pleasure to meet you.
And you wouldn't be wrong. I have been here for quite a while. But it's a little boring just to talk, isn't it? This is a party in a casino. Why don't we play something, for the fun of it? Whatever catches your eye.
lol, isn't he already bullied enough by having these guys as employees?
Good point. I mean, I don't mind this place, but it would've been nice to get at least asked. I like a good party, but normally I prefer to get there while being conscious, 'n able to leave whenever I want to,
[He looks around the crowd, and he can indeed see people who seem to purposefully stay away from the games, hiding themselves away from the masses and don't seem overly fond of the whole sexually loaded air within the casino. His eyes narrow. That's something that leaves a bit of a bitter taste in his mouth, but that's once again something to store away in the back of his mind for later.]
Likewise, [He shakes the other's hand and his focus directs itself more towards the actual games on offer.]
Well. I myself plan on definitely enjoying myself for as long as I'm here. I apparently just "won" the sex toy roulette, so that's done. Is there anything else that you can recommend? A personal favorite of yours maybe? I'm up for anythin' at this point.
absolutely not i think he deserves a little more bullying. as a treat!! out of love
( a personal favorite is a funny thing to ask for, considering aventurine's lack of preferences altogether. while the casino offers a multitude of games commonly found in, well, casinos, they have interesting extras this time. the sex toy roulette is curious, but figures his luck would intervene too much with it - there's no real fun in that.
the lovers' hideaway isn't so much a game in the sense of the word, but it's something to consider. games don't have to be so physical a thing, after all. the house of cards is... something that can be played, that's for sure. the one game aventurine prefers to keep his distance from, unless the right person comes along.
process of elimination, and there's a single game left. something where luck turns relative - more than it already is-, but a game that his own has little influence on. it's a fine choice, he thinks. )
How about a round of dice? ( his head gestures towards the area of the casino where an obnoxiously big and bright sign reads dirty dice. ) No insta-prizes, so the fun won't be over so fast, and I would argue that it's a great game to play to get to know someone.
( in a particular way, yes, but the statement isn't a lie! )
It's not a bad idea, is it? What say you, my friend?
haha, I am sure I'll get my chance at some point xD well, I hope. Reno needs to annoy Tseng!
[So far, Reno has only experienced the roulette, and wasn't quite happy with what he got, even if everyone else might disagree with him. So he's not exactly keen on trying that one again, but he hasn't checked out much of the other games yet.
He did notice the extra added spicyness, of course, and that's one of the reasons why he is also curious what Aventurine might pick out from the offers presented to them.
His eyes follow where Aventurine is pointing, his eyebrow quirking up in glee as he starts grinning.]
Sounds like a good choice to me, my friend. Can't wait to see how lucky we are in this game, right?
[He walks over to the tables that offer the Dirty Dice game and takes a seat, waiting for Aventurine to do the same.]
Now, since I already demonstrated my luck, how about you show me yours? Wanna do the first roll?
Haha. Depends what you consider to be a lucky roll here, my friend.
( there are good and... awkward combinations, yes. but none of it would be such a huge loss, a game made on the foundation of low risk and high reward. topaz would've liked it, he thinks. he prefers something with a big more risk, for the satisfaction of it all. for the true flavor of a good roll of the dice.
so aventurine picks the pair both, feels the dice between his fingers, plays with them. a demonstration of his luck... he can only wonder what that looks like here.
when the dice lands on 4 and 2 respectively, maybe aventurine understand what that means. )
Hm~ Can't say I'm dissatisfied with the roll. It's not often I get to be on my knees for a handsome man. ( yeah, he didn't have to say it like that, but of course aventurine will. ) So, what do you think? Over the clothes, or would you prefer to strip?
Anythin' that gets us entertained, I'd say, right?
[He grins as he watches Aventurine roll the dice, clearly used to handling them as he can tell by the practiced flick of the other's wrist. Eyes follow as they tumble and come to a halt, and he has to check the list to see what the result means.
Oh. Now that is indeed an entertaining result.]
So I'm something special then? Always good to hear~ [He hesitates for a moment and looks around, wondering if it would be fine to just pull his pants down like this, but he assumes the house is trying to push them to do it anyway, so he slowly opens the buttons and shoves them down to his knees. Not like he has anything to hide or to be ashamed of.]
Hope ya don't mind that I'm goin' for the full experience when I'm given the chance.
Not at all. That's what makes the game fun, isn't it?
( not to mention, he would have been just the same too, so it's good to know they're on the same page.
down on his knees goes aventurine, then, practiced and graceful motions of a man who has certainly done this one too many times. preferences might be entirely too lost on aventurine, but he can recognize beauty in people; he hadn't been lying when he said reno is handsome, even down to his legs, pretty as they are. it makes the whole thing more appealing.
he leans down, bringing his mouth to the inner side of reno's thighs, and sucks on it, gentle but firm, certainly with the goal of leaving a mark. when he pulls back, aventurine hums to himself, and stands back up. )
Hope you don't mind I left you something to remember me by. Your turn.
[Reno watches Aventurine drop to his knees in one fluent movement that speaks clearly of how this isn't his first rodeo, and Reno smirks. After having heard that people don't come here voluntarily and some might not be too keen on the activities going on, it's nice to see that some do seem to enjoy themselves after all.
Aventurine's mouth feels good, his skin sensitive, and when the other pulls back, there is some visible arousal, but Reno just grins and pulls his slacks back up.]
As if I could forget,
[He smirks and reaches for the dice, holding them out for Aventurine to blow on them, and then let's them roll. Ending on ... 3 and 8.]
Well. Not quite as raunchy, bit still interesting enough~
( little does reno know it's raunchy enough, when aventurine's one weakest spot is exactly his ears. something to be said about his luck, perhaps, though it's not anything so bad. reno will just have quite the surprise, and aventurine doesn't mind being as transparent with his pleasure for the sake of a game.
so aventurine straightens up, and puts his hair behind both ears. reno gets to have a choice, if he'd like. not that any of it makes such a difference - one ear has a stud earring, and the other a nice feather earring that matches his outfit. )
[Reno hums as he considers, then closes the distance to Aventurine. One hand slides up into the other's blond hair and the thumb brushes against the right ear, while Reno leans in towards the left.
He traces the curve of the shell with the tip of his tongue, following the curve until he reaches the lobe, sucking it softly between his teeth and curling his tongue around the dangling metal before bringing it back to draw small circles, eventually releasing it, but not without scraping his teeth ever so gently over the sensitive skin.
Well, the dice didn't say bite, but that's still a close enough gray area to licking, right?]
( maybe he should've been expecting it, that no matter how much aventurine steels himself against the inevitable, his body is still much more sensitive than he would like.
reno reaches for one of his ears, and aventurine reaches for his clothes, finding support in the way he can feel his knees trembling from the stimulation of it. he doesn't quite hold back a moan, though it comes out in quiet gasps, and aventurine can feel his neck burning from it. for all the exceptional control he usually has on himself, even he has his own weak spots.
it's fine, if reno sees him like that. though it's not a weapon he wields, it's the sort of behavior that fits the game they play. )
Seems like you got lucky, my friend. ( unsurprising if his blowing on the dice actually helped him, really. ) Let's see if I have the same luck.
( aventurine reaches for the dice, and doesn't really put that distance between them again. why would he, when they'll have to come close again? it saves them time. when he rolls the dice on the table, the faces land on 3 and 7, and he hums, satisfied. )
Not a bad roll, is it? ( it feels a little bit like revenge, if anything, when the neck tends to be such a sensitive spot to many people. )
[Reno pulls away, enjoying the reaction he seems to have caused in Aventurine. Well, at least they are on equal levels now, though it's not like they tried to hide the respective interest in the other. The game just enhances and entertains on top, and wasn't that what they were both looking for in the first place?]
Not bad at all. Let me help you a bit, [With his broad smirk still in place, Reno tugs the annoying tie loose and opens the first couple of buttons of his shirt, feeling instantly a lot more like himself. Seriously, why did they force the guests into suits and ties, when they are supposed to take things off anyway sooner or later?]
Feel free to take your time, [He presents his neck, waiting for Aventurine to pick a side before leaning to the other so that he has more space to work and fulfill his roll.]
( it's good to have a little bit of control back; aventurine watches reno loosen his tie and make room in his collarbone area, and he muses his options. there's so many interesting ways in which he can approach this - from the lead up to the realization of the action itself, and aventurine hums at what he eventually decides.
their height difference makes him more fun, as aventurine circles reno's waist with an arm, and pulls on that loose tie with the other, so he leans down enough that aventurine doesn't need to stand on his toes for this. the kiss on the neck is slow; as his tongue lays flat against the skin there, languid licks as he closes his mouth, though never into a proper kiss.
a moment, and he sucks into his skin, leaving a mark. he releases his hold on reno entirely, taking a step back. )
Your turn.
I just had to check how smol Aventurine is, cause Reno isn't exactly tall either oO
[Okay, maybe Reno should reconsider his stance on ties. His eyes and body follow Aventurine as he circles him, then gives in to the gentle pull on the garment to bend down. So that's what it feels like when he does it to others, huh? Good to know.
Reno closes his eyes, enjoying the feeling of lips and tongue on his neck, goosebumps chasing down his spine and showing on his exposed chest. Yeah, his body is clearly reacting, he is clearly more than just a little into it, and he wonders at what point he'll just ignore the game and grab Aventurine without being promoted by the fucking dice.
However, it's over far too quickly, but his eyes speak volumes as they linger on Aventurine's for a moment after they part.]
Right. How many turns are we supposed to play again 'n how deep are we in?
[He grins, honestly having lost track, but he still reaches for the dice regardless and let's them roll.]
Twelve. And .. ten.
[Reno raises his eyebrow as he looks over at his game partner.]
HAHA yeah reno has a whole 10cm over aventurine!! hope he feels tall 🙂↕️
Four, and two. ( because aventurine is keeping track of it, of course, it's only smart to do so in any game one plays. ) Don't tell me you're already thinking of forfeiting? Or are you lamenting we're halfway through?
( because aventurine is neither a fool nor blind, having seen the way his new friend reacted to his kisses on his neck. it's not unexpected, not with how sensitive the neck is for most people. yet still, aventurine watches the dice roll, and land on quite the numbers.
his smile doesn't falter once, and he meets reno's gaze with his own. )
My turn to strip, is it? Very well.
( and strip he does, fingers skillfully removing his belt, unbuttoning his pants. aventurine doesn't so mind not wearing them, folding them so they don't crease too much, and over his shoulder they go. he's sporting simple black boxers, and judging by the way he stands there half-hard, neither does aventurine mind letting his game partner know he's clearly enjoying their game. )
Go right ahead.
lol, for once in his life he does xD FFVII men are quite small though, but so are HojoVerse guys
Depends on whatcha call forfeiting. Does it still counts as givin' up if it's to take you somewhere a little more private?
[Not like Reno is shy, far from it, but sex in the middle of a crowded room would be a new thing, even for him. The show of erotic behavior so far is one thing, full on sex probably still another.]
Well. Didn't need to strip, but that's certainly a nicer way o' doin' it,
[Reno's eyes take in how easily Aventurine slips out of his slacks, and takes more care of them than Reno would probably have, but that's no surprise. With a grin, he takes the step towards the other and pushes him backwards, right back into his seat. One long, still clothed leg swings over Aventurine's, so that Reno can straddle the smaller man, hands coming to rest on his shoulders.]
Relax, 'n enjoy the show,
[His voice is barely above a whisper, but dripping with promises, as he starts to roll his hips and grind down, seeking friction between both their growing lengths.]
they're small until fsr they're 2m tall HAHA there's no in between
And miss out on the chance to feel you all the better?
( because it is a show reno is going to put on. there's something there, perhaps a particular chemistry born from their similar personalities or overall demeanors. it's what aventurine would have done, and he's right to assume the same of reno, when he's lead back onto a chair and straddled so nicely.
aventurine purrs in response, leaning back against the chair as his hands rest casually on reno's hips. he's a sight for sore eyes for sure, because even despite aventurine's own lack of preferences, he can see beauty where it is certainly due.
and skill, too, as the show commences and, as expected, the lack of an extra layer of fabric does make it all the more appealing to him. it's almost direct contact that aventurine is certainly not immune to, the friction all too pleasing as he looks up at reno. it is definitely a show he's enjoying. )
so true! can only think of one manga where everyone is quite tall though? 1,80+
[Turk missions can vary quite a lot from day to day, and one never knows what kind of skills might be required, so they are trained in all kinds of activities. Some of them entertain the individual more so than others and some Turks lean more into certain skills than others.
So the sway of ass and roll of hips that Reno performs looks way to fluent to be the first time he's done this, and even the sparkle in his eyes tells that it's far from his first rodeo. They are both enjoying this, that's for sure, and that has been the point for both of them all along.
Technically he already fulfilled what the dice demanded, but Reno keeps going, allowing Aventurine even to guide him a little with the hands on his hips, but eventually he grinds down one last time before getting up again, that cheeky grin looking far too entertained.]
Hope that made you feel good, pretty~ Your turn again.
( good thing aventurine tends to exert quite the impressive amount of self-control in spite of his recklessness; otherwise, the way he internally laments reno leaving his lap would be far more than just an internalized emotion. two can play this game, he thinks, but why postpone the inevitable?
it is as reno said, after all. )
Does it count as giving up if it's to take you somewhere a little more private... Is what you said, isn't it?
( a smile, knowing and certainly implied, as aventurine gets up from the chair. he doesn't bother wearing his pants again, nor does he mind if reno can see the way he's clearly starting to get a little too excited over their game.
besides - if he forfeits first, then it means reno would win, and aventurine had never the intention to truly play their game to victory, really. a little fun, and then a reward to his opponent. you could say reno had been simply lucky.
his eyes turn to his watch, and - ) There's plenty of games for us to play, wouldn't you say? You win some, and you lose some. For this one, it's my loss.
( and the house accepts his defeat, flashing LOSER on his watch as result. )
So how about you and I go have some more fun elsewhere, my friend?
[Of course Reno remembers his own words, but having them said back to him like this, with the promise of something to come wo audible in it, that Reno is already smirking before his watch even announces his win. He doesn't care about the win in any way, it was never about that anyway. He wanted them to have fun and Aventurine clearly is having his, just as much as Reno.]
I wouldn't call it your loss though. Not once we're finished, [he winks at the other, taking it all in, and gets up, only to then stop and look a little sheepishly at Aventurine.]
Would love to. Once you tell me where we can go, since I don't yet have a room in here?
You'll be happy to know it's your lucky day, then. ( which, okay fine, he'll put his pants back on for this, but he doesn't go through all the trouble to belt up again.
aventurine gives reno only a gesture of his head for him to follow, before he walks off into the long lounges of the casino, almost perfectly blending in. )
That's a treatment I only extend to those who catch my fancy. ( also lying out of his ass for this, by the way, but nothing that reno needs so much knowing.
they walk past the party, somewhere closer to the private lounges the casino offers, waving a hand at one of the staff members who still lingers by the counter, greeting aventurine with a smile and wishing him fun. oh, he would have it for sure.
then, down the corridor of doors, aventurine picks one in particular, pushing it open for reno to walk in first. it's almost a mini casino within a casino, a large lounge area with a few poker tables, roulettes, a drink bar, couches - just about anything would one need to both gamble and enjoy themselves with a date. )
[In more than one way, that's for sure. Reno follows Aventurine, past the game tables and staff members, all seemingly pretty familiar with Aventurine. He wonders how long exactly Aventurine might already be here, and how long it takes for staff to actively remember guests, or if this is something only a select few that are flashy enough get to experience.]
'course you do,
[Reno smirks, not believing a single word that Aventurine just said. Judging by what he has seen so far, and by how much he can read the other, they aren't too different, saying what they think the other person wants to hear, whether it's true or not. But Reno clearly doesn't care, so the sarcasm is heavy in his voice, and he makes sure that he doesn't care that Aventurine is lying either.
Instead, he does as asked and steps in first, eyes traveling over the interior of the room, and for a moment being undecided which way to take. The bar looks tempting, but do they still want to bother with drinks right now? The couches look plush and comfortable, also big enough for what's clearly about to happen. But instead, Reno turns around and grabs Aventurine by the collar and pulls him close into a kiss, then slowly guides them backwards, until his backside hits the edge of one of the poker tables.]

when the dice lands on 4 and 2 respectively, maybe aventurine understand what that means. )
Hm~ Can't say I'm dissatisfied with the roll. It's not often I get to be on my knees for a handsome man. ( yeah, he didn't have to say it like that, but of course aventurine will. ) So, what do you think? Over the clothes, or would you prefer to strip?
cross your fingers then that I get accepted ^^"
[He grins as he watches Aventurine roll the dice, clearly used to handling them as he can tell by the practiced flick of the other's wrist.
Eyes follow as they tumble and come to a halt, and he has to check the list to see what the result means.
Oh. Now that is indeed an entertaining result.]
So I'm something special then? Always good to hear~
[He hesitates for a moment and looks around, wondering if it would be fine to just pull his pants down like this, but he assumes the house is trying to push them to do it anyway, so he slowly opens the buttons and shoves them down to his knees. Not like he has anything to hide or to be ashamed of.]
Hope ya don't mind that I'm goin' for the full experience when I'm given the chance.
you will!!!!! 💪
( not to mention, he would have been just the same too, so it's good to know they're on the same page.
down on his knees goes aventurine, then, practiced and graceful motions of a man who has certainly done this one too many times. preferences might be entirely too lost on aventurine, but he can recognize beauty in people; he hadn't been lying when he said reno is handsome, even down to his legs, pretty as they are. it makes the whole thing more appealing.
he leans down, bringing his mouth to the inner side of reno's thighs, and sucks on it, gentle but firm, certainly with the goal of leaving a mark. when he pulls back, aventurine hums to himself, and stands back up. )
Hope you don't mind I left you something to remember me by. Your turn.
hope so! we'll know soon, I guess ^^"
After having heard that people don't come here voluntarily and some might not be too keen on the activities going on, it's nice to see that some do seem to enjoy themselves after all.
Aventurine's mouth feels good, his skin sensitive, and when the other pulls back, there is some visible arousal, but Reno just grins and pulls his slacks back up.]
As if I could forget,
[He smirks and reaches for the dice, holding them out for Aventurine to blow on them, and then let's them roll.
Ending on ... 3 and 8.]
Well. Not quite as raunchy, bit still interesting enough~
no subject
so aventurine straightens up, and puts his hair behind both ears. reno gets to have a choice, if he'd like. not that any of it makes such a difference - one ear has a stud earring, and the other a nice feather earring that matches his outfit. )
Your pick, my friend.
no subject
[Reno hums as he considers, then closes the distance to Aventurine.
One hand slides up into the other's blond hair and the thumb brushes against the right ear, while Reno leans in towards the left.
He traces the curve of the shell with the tip of his tongue, following the curve until he reaches the lobe, sucking it softly between his teeth and curling his tongue around the dangling metal before bringing it back to draw small circles, eventually releasing it, but not without scraping his teeth ever so gently over the sensitive skin.
Well, the dice didn't say bite, but that's still a close enough gray area to licking, right?]
no subject
reno reaches for one of his ears, and aventurine reaches for his clothes, finding support in the way he can feel his knees trembling from the stimulation of it. he doesn't quite hold back a moan, though it comes out in quiet gasps, and aventurine can feel his neck burning from it. for all the exceptional control he usually has on himself, even he has his own weak spots.
it's fine, if reno sees him like that. though it's not a weapon he wields, it's the sort of behavior that fits the game they play. )
Seems like you got lucky, my friend. ( unsurprising if his blowing on the dice actually helped him, really. ) Let's see if I have the same luck.
( aventurine reaches for the dice, and doesn't really put that distance between them again. why would he, when they'll have to come close again? it saves them time. when he rolls the dice on the table, the faces land on 3 and 7, and he hums, satisfied. )
Not a bad roll, is it? ( it feels a little bit like revenge, if anything, when the neck tends to be such a sensitive spot to many people. )
no subject
The game just enhances and entertains on top, and wasn't that what they were both looking for in the first place?]
Not bad at all. Let me help you a bit,
[With his broad smirk still in place, Reno tugs the annoying tie loose and opens the first couple of buttons of his shirt, feeling instantly a lot more like himself. Seriously, why did they force the guests into suits and ties, when they are supposed to take things off anyway sooner or later?]
Feel free to take your time,
[He presents his neck, waiting for Aventurine to pick a side before leaning to the other so that he has more space to work and fulfill his roll.]
no subject
their height difference makes him more fun, as aventurine circles reno's waist with an arm, and pulls on that loose tie with the other, so he leans down enough that aventurine doesn't need to stand on his toes for this. the kiss on the neck is slow; as his tongue lays flat against the skin there, languid licks as he closes his mouth, though never into a proper kiss.
a moment, and he sucks into his skin, leaving a mark. he releases his hold on reno entirely, taking a step back. )
Your turn.
I just had to check how smol Aventurine is, cause Reno isn't exactly tall either oO
So that's what it feels like when he does it to others, huh? Good to know.
Reno closes his eyes, enjoying the feeling of lips and tongue on his neck, goosebumps chasing down his spine and showing on his exposed chest.
Yeah, his body is clearly reacting, he is clearly more than just a little into it, and he wonders at what point he'll just ignore the game and grab Aventurine without being promoted by the fucking dice.
However, it's over far too quickly, but his eyes speak volumes as they linger on Aventurine's for a moment after they part.]
Right. How many turns are we supposed to play again 'n how deep are we in?
[He grins, honestly having lost track, but he still reaches for the dice regardless and let's them roll.]
Twelve. And .. ten.
[Reno raises his eyebrow as he looks over at his game partner.]
HAHA yeah reno has a whole 10cm over aventurine!! hope he feels tall 🙂↕️
( because aventurine is neither a fool nor blind, having seen the way his new friend reacted to his kisses on his neck. it's not unexpected, not with how sensitive the neck is for most people. yet still, aventurine watches the dice roll, and land on quite the numbers.
his smile doesn't falter once, and he meets reno's gaze with his own. )
My turn to strip, is it? Very well.
( and strip he does, fingers skillfully removing his belt, unbuttoning his pants. aventurine doesn't so mind not wearing them, folding them so they don't crease too much, and over his shoulder they go. he's sporting simple black boxers, and judging by the way he stands there half-hard, neither does aventurine mind letting his game partner know he's clearly enjoying their game. )
Go right ahead.
lol, for once in his life he does xD FFVII men are quite small though, but so are HojoVerse guys
[Not like Reno is shy, far from it, but sex in the middle of a crowded room would be a new thing, even for him. The show of erotic behavior so far is one thing, full on sex probably still another.]
Well. Didn't need to strip, but that's certainly a nicer way o' doin' it,
[Reno's eyes take in how easily Aventurine slips out of his slacks, and takes more care of them than Reno would probably have, but that's no surprise.
With a grin, he takes the step towards the other and pushes him backwards, right back into his seat. One long, still clothed leg swings over Aventurine's, so that Reno can straddle the smaller man, hands coming to rest on his shoulders.]
Relax, 'n enjoy the show,
[His voice is barely above a whisper, but dripping with promises, as he starts to roll his hips and grind down, seeking friction between both their growing lengths.]
they're small until fsr they're 2m tall HAHA there's no in between
( because it is a show reno is going to put on. there's something there, perhaps a particular chemistry born from their similar personalities or overall demeanors. it's what aventurine would have done, and he's right to assume the same of reno, when he's lead back onto a chair and straddled so nicely.
aventurine purrs in response, leaning back against the chair as his hands rest casually on reno's hips. he's a sight for sore eyes for sure, because even despite aventurine's own lack of preferences, he can see beauty where it is certainly due.
and skill, too, as the show commences and, as expected, the lack of an extra layer of fabric does make it all the more appealing to him. it's almost direct contact that aventurine is certainly not immune to, the friction all too pleasing as he looks up at reno. it is definitely a show he's enjoying. )
so true! can only think of one manga where everyone is quite tall though? 1,80+
Some of them entertain the individual more so than others and some Turks lean more into certain skills than others.
So the sway of ass and roll of hips that Reno performs looks way to fluent to be the first time he's done this, and even the sparkle in his eyes tells that it's far from his first rodeo.
They are both enjoying this, that's for sure, and that has been the point for both of them all along.
Technically he already fulfilled what the dice demanded, but Reno keeps going, allowing Aventurine even to guide him a little with the hands on his hips, but eventually he grinds down one last time before getting up again, that cheeky grin looking far too entertained.]
Hope that made you feel good, pretty~
Your turn again.
no subject
it is as reno said, after all. )
Does it count as giving up if it's to take you somewhere a little more private... Is what you said, isn't it?
( a smile, knowing and certainly implied, as aventurine gets up from the chair. he doesn't bother wearing his pants again, nor does he mind if reno can see the way he's clearly starting to get a little too excited over their game.
besides - if he forfeits first, then it means reno would win, and aventurine had never the intention to truly play their game to victory, really. a little fun, and then a reward to his opponent. you could say reno had been simply lucky.
his eyes turn to his watch, and - ) There's plenty of games for us to play, wouldn't you say? You win some, and you lose some. For this one, it's my loss.
( and the house accepts his defeat, flashing LOSER on his watch as result. )
So how about you and I go have some more fun elsewhere, my friend?
no subject
[Of course Reno remembers his own words, but having them said back to him like this, with the promise of something to come wo audible in it, that Reno is already smirking before his watch even announces his win.
He doesn't care about the win in any way, it was never about that anyway.
He wanted them to have fun and Aventurine clearly is having his, just as much as Reno.]
I wouldn't call it your loss though. Not once we're finished,
[he winks at the other, taking it all in, and gets up, only to then stop and look a little sheepishly at Aventurine.]
Would love to. Once you tell me where we can go, since I don't yet have a room in here?
no subject
aventurine gives reno only a gesture of his head for him to follow, before he walks off into the long lounges of the casino, almost perfectly blending in. )
That's a treatment I only extend to those who catch my fancy. ( also lying out of his ass for this, by the way, but nothing that reno needs so much knowing.
they walk past the party, somewhere closer to the private lounges the casino offers, waving a hand at one of the staff members who still lingers by the counter, greeting aventurine with a smile and wishing him fun. oh, he would have it for sure.
then, down the corridor of doors, aventurine picks one in particular, pushing it open for reno to walk in first. it's almost a mini casino within a casino, a large lounge area with a few poker tables, roulettes, a drink bar, couches - just about anything would one need to both gamble and enjoy themselves with a date. )
You first.
no subject
[In more than one way, that's for sure.
Reno follows Aventurine, past the game tables and staff members, all seemingly pretty familiar with Aventurine.
He wonders how long exactly Aventurine might already be here, and how long it takes for staff to actively remember guests, or if this is something only a select few that are flashy enough get to experience.]
'course you do,
[Reno smirks, not believing a single word that Aventurine just said.
Judging by what he has seen so far, and by how much he can read the other, they aren't too different, saying what they think the other person wants to hear, whether it's true or not.
But Reno clearly doesn't care, so the sarcasm is heavy in his voice, and he makes sure that he doesn't care that Aventurine is lying either.
Instead, he does as asked and steps in first, eyes traveling over the interior of the room, and for a moment being undecided which way to take.
The bar looks tempting, but do they still want to bother with drinks right now? The couches look plush and comfortable, also big enough for what's clearly about to happen.
But instead, Reno turns around and grabs Aventurine by the collar and pulls him close into a kiss, then slowly guides them backwards, until his backside hits the edge of one of the poker tables.]
