Inspired by me trying to sleep but he comes out of nowhere and tries to wake me up because he's bored, silly gambler😔🫶

The room was quiet, bathed in the soft glow of ambient city lights filtering through the blinds. Aventurine lay on his side, propped on an elbow, his eyes fixed on your sleeping form. The steady rhythm of your breaths filled the silence, a sound so gentle it should have calmed him—but instead, it left him restless.

His brow furrowed slightly as he watched you.

You were utterly at peace. Your expression untroubled, your body relaxed in a way that felt almost foreign to him. Aventurine had conquered casinos, outsmarted adversaries, and danced circles around the most cunning minds in the universe, yet here he was—bested by the serenity of your slumber. A rare pout tugged at his lips as frustration mingled with affection.

His fingers traced idle patterns along the edge of the bed, but his eyes never left you. The way the faint light caught on your cheekbones, the slight curve of your lips as you exhaled, the rise and fall of your chest—it was maddening how unaware you were of his scrutiny.

Boredom gnawed at him, his mind spinning as it always did, searching for something—anything—to do. And then, an idea sparked.

Shifting closer, he leaned in, brushing the softest kiss against your forehead. His lips lingered for a moment before pulling back to gauge your reaction. Nothing. Your breathing remained steady, undisturbed.

His frown deepened, but a mischievous glint flickered in his eyes. He leaned in again, this time letting his lips ghost over the tip of your nose. Still, you didn’t stir.

Aventurine tilted his head, a grin pulling at his mouth. This was beginning to feel like a challenge.

His next kiss landed on your cheek, then the other, his lips warm and featherlight against your skin. Another on your jawline, then one more at the corner of your mouth—soft, insistent, teasing.

Finally, a flicker of movement.

A quiet hum escaped you, your eyelids fluttering open, eyes bleary with sleep as you tried to focus on him. Confusion etched itself faintly on your features, your soft breaths brushing against his face.

“You’re awake...” Aventurine whispered, his voice low and triumphant, filled with affection that he couldn’t hide. He leaned in to steal another kiss, but before he could press his lips to yours, your arm looped lazily around his neck.

With an unceremonious tug, you pulled him down, burying your face against his chest, your warmth enveloping him.

Aventurine blinked, his protests muffled against the sheets as your grip held him firmly in place.

“Sleep.” you murmured, your voice thick with drowsiness, vibrating softly against him.

He opened his mouth to argue, but the weight of your embrace, the steady thrum of your heartbeat beneath his ear, stole the words before they could form.

And just like that, the sharp edges of his thoughts began to dull, the whirlwind of his mind quieting in the stillness you offered.

For once, Aventurine let himself surrender. Nestled against you, his chaos softened, and he allowed himself to drift into the calm you had unknowingly given him.
