    Summary

    the torture of small talk, with someone you used to love

    “I've never loved anyone else after you broke up with me!” Aventurine turned around to face him, his eyes — usually so radiant and shining under the spotlights — flashed with hurt.

    “Did you even think about how I felt, Veritas? Do you have any idea how much fucking pain I was in–” Aventurine choked on his own words, his thin frame shaking — from the cold, or from the strength of his sobs, Ratio could not tell — his tears mixing with the rain as they kissed their way down his cheek, the same way blood kissed skin as it dripped in rivulets, the same way Ratio had once kissed him.

    “It hurt,” Aventurine said, barely louder than a whisper. “It hurt so much I thought about killing myself, I thought about downing an entire bottle of pills, having them find me on the floor of my apartment, because I didn’t want to live in a world without you!”

    Summary

    “Don’t,” Ratio says, finally breaking the silence. Just a single word, uttered in a low voice. “You know nothing of what I want.” 

    “Oh, I think I do,” Feinman shoots back with a smirk. “I remembered just now that I heard an interesting rumor about you. Something about you and your obsession with a certain…IPC executive?” 

    Aventurine’s stomach flips, the words clattering around his skull like dice in a tin cup. 

    Or in which Aventurine goes undercover at a brothel and accidentally finds Ratio there.

    Summary

    "—'m close." Ratio murmurs into the sweaty shoulder quivering in overstimulation. He leans back far enough to see his face clearly, etching the sight beneath him with each succinct detail memorized—Aventurine, loopy and fucked and smiling.

    The smile is what gets him; so soft unlike the ones he throws out willy-nilly outside. Is it real? He wants it to be. Aeons, he wants.

    For now, he only relishes: the heat, the sincerity, the peaceful smile upon those plump lips.

    His lips.

    Ratio bends down, briefly meeting the moist, tender plague of his heart.

    Aventurine pointedly does not kiss back.

    or: 5 times Dr. Veritas Ratio and Aventurine break their “no kissing” policy.
