Summary
“I always think of you,” Aventurine says at once, leaning close. “And I miss you like hell.” How could I not? You’re my adolescence.
Veritas kisses him first. It happens like this: one hand on his cheek, the other at his nape, pulling him in. Aventurine stretches his legs, lets Veritas lie down on top of him. They kiss as if they’re still talking—and they are. They trade breath, because kissing, besides devouring, also means this: placing commas and full stops. Their moans chase one another like they used to on the school field, when they were boys, before Aventurine joined the Club and Veritas was the only person who really mattered.
Aventurine and Ratio meet for the first time in high school, and they’re inseparable. But when Aventurine is invited to join an exclusive school club — the Ten Stonehearts — while Ratio is left on the sidelines, nursing a secret feeling that goes beyond friendship, their bond begins to fracture… until it breaks completely.
Three years later the balance has shifted: Ratio shines while Aventurine feels adrift. But history tends to repeat itself, and when a reunion brings them face to face, the past is never buried.
