    Summary

    Aventurine pressed a finger to his ear. “Is our guy here yet?”

    His earpiece buzzed. “Asking again won’t cause him to arrive faster,” phoned Ratio in an impatient tone. “Why can’t you enjoy gambling on someone else’s dime for a minute or two?”

    “Open bar’s calling my name, Owl.” Aventurine lowered his indoor sunglasses to peek at the bar across dozens of tables stretched the distance of the gambling hall. “Fitting reward for a mission well-done.”

    The IPC tracks down a wanted arms dealer and poker addict in Edo Star. There’s only one man, rotten with luck, fit for the job of capturing him.

    Summary

    And then, the unimaginable happens.

    Aventurine, his roommate, the man he only occasionally speaks to for more than minutes at a time, leans over in their shared bed, and kisses him. A brief peck, leaving Veritas no time to react and his world spinning.

    "Wait." He says firmly, giving his roommate pause. "Why did you do that?"

    Aventurine snorts, and his lips twitch like he's trying not to smile. "You told me you love me. You don't remember?"

    The air knocks itself out of Veritas' lungs. "I…I what?"

    The countdown to one Veritas Ratio telling his roommate that he loves him, and the days after.

    Summary

    Aventurine wants to laugh as he goes slack against Ratio’s side, but all that comes out is a pained wheeze.

    A bullet, really?

    There’s poetic justice in one finally managing to reach him only when it was meant for someone else.

    When Aventurine finally manages to outrun his luck, it’s not the result of a grand scheme or one of his high-stake gambles. Instead, on what should have been a routine mission, he gets shot.

    Ratio is there to pick up the pieces.

    Summary

    “Ah, yeah. That.” If his laugh sounded as strained and awkward as it felt to Cain, Owen made no mention of it. “The idea just came over me, had to share it immediately, haha…”
    “Hm.” That was it. Owen went back to studying his lines and as Cain watched the moonlight shimmer and glisten in Owen’s hair, he gave up on denial. It should be him kissing in front of all those people, not Mithra.

     

    Or, Cain discovers his jealous side.

    Summary

    Owen is still staring in on him from the otherside of the window, and all Cain can see is a reflection of himself. It’s his own face, angular and boyish, and his own hair, red in a manner that whispers of shattered pasts, but the smile that sits atop the illusion of himself is wide and close to sickening. The eyes, his eyes, are the same, but it has been that way for years. It’s familiar now, against his will.
