The moment you stepped into the room, Aventurine’s smile widened like a cat who had just seen a very entertaining mouse stumble into its trap.
“Well, well, well,” he drawled, reclining further into his velvet lounge chair, one leg elegantly crossed over the other. “And here I thought losing was your least attractive trait. But this? This is dangerously adorable.”
You shifted uncomfortably, tugging at the frilly hem of the maid dress you now regretted wagering. “Don’t get used to it. This was a one-time thing.”
Aventurine tilted his head, his eyes gleaming with mischief as he took you in—from the lace-trimmed apron to the bows on your stockings. “Oh, I’m not getting used to it,” he purred. “I’m savoring it.”
You rolled your eyes. “Pervert.”
“Guilty. But only when it’s artistically deserved.” He rose from his seat, approaching you slowly, hands tucked behind his back. “Now, tell me—what would you like to clean first? My office? My ego?”
You snorted. “I’ll start with the floor, where your humility died years ago.”
He chuckled, brushing a strand of hair from your face with the back of his gloved fingers. “Sharp tongue. You wear it well. But tell me—was this truly just about the bet… or did you want to see what expression you could pull from me?”
Your silence was enough of an answer for him.
“That’s what I thought,” he whispered, stepping away with a wink. “Careful, darling. Gamble with me, and you might just win… or lose far more than you expect.”
He was lecturing again—something about the fallacy of confirmation bias—when you stepped into the room wearing the frilliest, most absurdly cute maid dress imaginable.
Ratio froze mid-sentence. You didn’t think it was possible for a man like him to blink in genuine disbelief, but you had achieved the impossible.
“…What.” he said flatly.
You spun once for effect, the skirt puffing like a bell. “Just thought I’d test your focus.”
“I am a man of science,” he began, arms crossed as his gaze swept over you with a mixture of suspicion and reluctant amusement. “But this… is statistical sabotage.”
You giggled. “Flustered?”
“Hardly,” he lied. He adjusted his gloves like a surgeon about to perform open-heart surgery. “But if you think frills and bows are enough to distract me, then clearly you’ve misunderstood the breadth of my discipline.”
“Are you sure?” you asked, leaning close enough for him to catch the faint scent of sugar and mischief. “You haven’t even insulted me in the last two minutes.”
He paused. “…You look ridiculous,” he said—then added after a beat, “and annoyingly captivating.”
You beamed. “So, I win?”
Ratio turned on his heel. “I’m filing this under 'uncontrolled variables in emotional response testing.’ For research.”
You swore you saw a faint flush on his ears as he walked away.
Jing Yuan was dozing on his favorite bench in the courtyard, bathed in golden sunlight, when you approached in your carefully-chosen ensemble—a classic maid outfit, complete with lace headband and ruffled sleeves.
His eyes opened halfway, then widened—just a fraction, but enough.
“…You’re not one of the palace staff,” he said, a hint of a smile touching his lips.
You bowed playfully. “Reporting for duty, General. I’ve come to clean up your laziness.”
He chuckled, stretching like a lion in the sun. “Ah, how dangerous. I may grow accustomed to such charming discipline.”
You perched beside him, smoothing your skirt. “I thought it would at least make you sit up properly.”
“You thought wrong,” he said, lazily resting his chin on his knuckles. “But I’ll admit, it’s… pleasant.”
His eyes lingered—not hungrily, but appreciatively—as if you were a beautiful painting in motion. “Though I wonder… Did you wear this for me, or merely for the reaction?”
You smirked. “Why not both?”
He leaned closer, his voice soft. “If you're not careful, I may start requesting this uniform for all of our sparring matches. Imagine how flustered you’d be then.”
You pushed his shoulder. “Pervert.”
“Strategist,” he corrected, that mischievous glint returning. “One must know the enemy’s weaknesses.”
