    Summary

    Pt. 2 of The Unveiling of a Dying Star

    Ratio stopped in the hallway, far down it, as if tucking himself away from the people who bled out from the ballroom. His back faced Aventurine, dimly lit by the lights, and Aventurine briefly had to wonder if this was a nightmare. If he approached Ratio now, would he attack him? Try to hurt him like he had in previous dreams? Or would he do it on his own volition?
    The doctor dipped his head back, sipping directly from a bottle of something, and when he turned, shooting Aventurine a glance, the gambler realized a couple of things:
    Ratio was drinking his favorite drink. His hair had gotten longer. There were bags under his eyes and hair fallen over his face that he made no effort to fix.
    Aventurine stepped closer to him, appropriate.. Conversation length, and instead of smelling of human being – attractive, masculine, yet equally domestic smelling of cashmere and cotton.. He smelt of booze.
    Holy fuck, said his worry-brain. I broke the guy.

    Anonymous: Am I doing this right?

    Dan Heng raises an eyebrow at the sudden message, fingers tapping deftly at his phone.

    You: Doing what right?

    Anonymous: stop teasing your old man.

    Anonymous: I mean this messages thing.

    Summary

    Ratio turned to him with a hand placed on the doorframe. Now, he was the one choosing between protection and truth. Thankfully, there was a third option: marriage of the two. “I’ll miss your company when we have to move to another planet.”

    He left out the part where he had started to buy lemon scented candles for Aventurine’s bedroom, which he otherwise hated. He left out the part where he made sure his bookshelf would arrive when Aventurine was home so the two could spend time together, even if it was something as mundane as the organization of literature. He left out the part where he ensured there were always apples in his kitchen now, as that seemed to be the only thing Aventurine ate for breakfast. He left out the part where he nearly crashed into an old Edo Star native in his rush to collect Aventurine from the bar. He left out the dreams, the thoughts, and everything else that mattered.

    Maybe that was a bad choice. But it felt like the right one - the two are often opposites.

    //

    In which Aventurine and Dr. Ratio's schedules frequently align in a way that is constantly putting them both on the same planet, for better or for worse. And Ratio is NOT hopelessly in love.

    Summary

    The University of Luofu’s law school, despite its grand appearance, was surprisingly a mundane setting, all things considered.

    Maybe if Blade had wanted to be a lawyer his entire life, his first day of law school would’ve been more exciting, but as it was, he cared more about getting to run into Dan Heng on campus.

    --

    After having a falling out with Dan Heng in their last year of university, Blade decides to follow his heart and Dan Heng to law school.

    Prequel to Turnabout Marriages

    ** Not abandoned -- likely will be on hiatus until November. Thank you for understanding!
