“You rigged it!” Red accused.

Lance smirked. “Of course I rigged it. Do you think I wanted either of us to die playing a foolish game in a party of drunks?”

Red frowned. He could scarcely argue with that logic. Besides, it was five to one you would live…

The much more subdued crowd was now trying to figure out how to explain Yellow’s death to the press. The truth would obviously be foolish…

That gave the two Champions plenty of time to slip out unnoticed.

Red moaned as Lance pressed a kiss to his throat, pressing him against a wall. “Do you regret it?” He purred.

“No.” Red gasped, feeling Lance’s knee press against the bulge in his jeans. “Lance… I’m going to…”

“Yes, I know.” Lance smirked. “And I shan’t gamble against the chance that you’ll be quite… wet.”

Red groaned. “You’re evil.”

“But you love me.”

“Mm.” And the rest of his answer was swallowed in a second kiss.

Yeah… Russian Roulette is a game you play, where there’s a loaded shotgun with six slots, one has a bullet and 5 don’t, so you have a 1/6 chance of dying. At least, that’s what I found. This prompt kind of threw me for a loop, but I managed.
