    Summary

    Aventurine is never quiet—until the morning he doesn’t show up to work, doesn’t answer his messages, and leaves his apartment door half-open.

    Ratio tells himself it isn’t a crisis.
    It’s just irritation.
    Statistically.

    But irritation doesn’t explain why he finds Aventurine feverish on the kitchen floor, too weak to stand, insisting he doesn’t want to “trouble” anyone.

    It definitely doesn’t explain why Ratio ends up in Aventurine’s bed, holding him through the worst night of his life.

    A fever, three Catcakes, one very stubborn gambler, and one man who refuses to admit he cares—
    until caring becomes impossible to hide.

    Summary

    ⊹ ࣪ ˖͙͘͡★
    It wasn’t as if nobody had ever asked Aventurine out before, and he knew he was charming and handsome. But this was Ratio, and the Doctor had proven time and time again that he was an unusual and, at times, unpredictable person. Ratio was someone who had once explicitly said he was interested in who Aventurine actually was, not who he presented himself to be. And that kind of honesty and vulnerability was frankly terrifying – something Aventurine had no idea how to reciprocate properly.

    Summary

    ⊹ ࣪ ˖͙͘͡★
    "Let me elaborate. You won't be doing the inspections: you're there for the trade and the financial aspects. I'm sending a representative of the Intelligentsia Guild to do the inspections."

    Aventurine's next snarky reply died in the back of his throat. Suddenly, his nails didn't seem all that interesting. "Oh," he did his best to sound natural and unbothered. "And who might that representative be?"

    While Topaz would never pass up an opportunity to tease and one-up Aventurine, surely this was off limits. There was no way she would have picked Ratio, right?

    Topaz giggled a little bit. Oh, she was enjoying this. "Oh, no one,” she said in a sing-song voice. “Just your favourite little situationship who you've been ghosting."

    It appeared this was not, in fact, off limits.

Against his own wishes, he tries to cut Ratio off, but destiny (Topaz) pushes them together on a mission, giving them a chance to resolve things. WHAT WILL HAPPEN?!

    Summary

    Aventurine looked up through his tear-blurred vision, seeing the steadiness in Ratio’s dark eyes–the patient, unwavering presence that had somehow endured the storm of his confession. “Don’t you get it?” he whispered finally, a fragile, trembling thing, barely audible even to himself. Not a declaration, not a plea–but a truth he could no longer hide beneath the rubble of guilt and fear. “I know the end…everything I’ve ever loved… it always ends. And I… I can’t–I can’t… I can’t lose you too.”

    “You won’t.” Ratio’s thumb brushed lightly across his back in slow, deliberate circles. “Not now. Not tonight. That… that’s the part you can count on gambler”

    Summary

    Aventurine leaned against the railing of his balcony, pulled his lighter out, and—

    The garden was empty. Stems swayed softly in the wind, leaves rustling, though the sliding door never opened, and no water ever poured into the can.

    Strange.

    One warm summer evening, Dr. Ratio, his hot neighbor with a passion for gardening, doesn't show up to tend to his flowers. Or the next, or the one after that.
    Aventurine, curious about what would keep such a dedicated man from his hobby, goes investigate.

    What follows is a tale of broken routines and the joy (and sexual frustration) those changes will bring.

    Summary

    Dr. Ratio and Aventurine have their own little -isms, privy and known only to each other. They fail to realise that other people don't immediately understand what they're trying to say or what they want with their own little code.

    Example 1:

    “Hey, can you pass me the thing?”

    Example 2:

    “Aventurine. The thing.”

    Example 3:

    “Oh, I know! This is about that thing, right??? “

    Everyone else is left wondering how exactly they understand each other so well.


    He reached for the door handle.

    “... I actually wanted to ask you something.”

    Caelus paused. Kakavasha sounded almost shy. Shy??? That's so unlike him.

    “Could you…do that thing to me tonight?”

    What.

     


    What.

    Summary

    “At least if I’m here and things go wrong, I can try to keep you from doing anything particularly reckless, though I doubt my chances of success.”

    The words made the growing flame in Aventurine’s heart burn a little brighter. What had started out as barely smoldering coals was quickly becoming something he had trouble keeping under control. “Careful. If you keep talking like that, I’ll start to think you’re worried about me.”

    For a moment, Ratio was silent. He could feel Aventurine’s expectant gaze on him, waiting for a response. “I had thought that was obvious,” he said quietly.

    Two lonely men with vast differences take a chance to reach out to one another, and find something far more powerful than their pain.

    Summary

    “I am glad to see you,” he says. It doesn’t feel like enough. “You walk into the room and it upturns my entire world. You know that, don’t you? It’s like gravity itself shifts. You don’t have to try. And yet—”

    “And yet, here I am, trying,” Aventurine cuts in, smiling, that gods-awful fake smile. He nudges the tray forward before taking a few steps backwards. “Trying anyway. And it still isn’t good enough.”

    “Aventurine. Don’t—”

    “Don’t worry, doctor. I’ll still love you tomorrow.” It’s said as if it’s a punchline to some cruel joke. All the while, Ratio is helpless to do anything but to watch dumbly as the distance between them yawns wider. “Next time, I’ll book an appointment. Enjoy your coffee.”

    Or:
    Ratio and Aventurine are learning how to do the whole relationship thing.

    Summary

    “Ratio?” he asks, stepping a bit closer. “It’s me, Aventurine. Are you… do you want to go home?”

    At the mention of his name, Ratio stills, a light startle in his step as he turns to face Aventurine. He drops his hands, lacing them back together in front of him. He looks dazed, normal intensity lost from his eyes as they open glassy and vacant. They flex wide with recognition, but he doesn’t say anything.

    Ratio goes quiet, and Aventurine doesn't know what to do.

    Summary

    “You want me to stay with you,” Aventurine said slowly. God, Ratio probably thought he was a complete idiot right now. Then again, was that really any different from before?

    Ratio nodded. “Yes,” he said.

    “... Why?”

    “Because you can’t take care of yourself,” Ratio said. “And I have enough time on my hands to endeavor to do so.”

    “You want to teach me how to take care of myself?” Aventurine said. He was starting to sound like a parrot. Ratio gave him an empty stare.

    “That is, in fact, what I said,” Ratio sighed, exasperated. Had Aventurine annoyed him? Whatever, that didn’t matter. If he had, then that was better: Ratio would finally leave him alone.

    “Are you sure?” Aventurine asked.

    Ratio’s face was slightly pink. Was it hot in here? “Yes, gambler, I am sure. How many times do I have to repeat myself?!”

    “No more,” Aventurine said hurriedly, holding up his hands placatingly. “I understand now. Well, I don’t understand why, but I understand that you’re serious. Confusingly.”

    Summary

    Following radio silence after Penacony, Aventurine gets a call from a medical station near an isolated planet about Ratio ending up in a lab accident. Concerned, Aventurine takes the trip to the station to find his beloved doctor wrapped up in bandages.

    Ratio, however, doesn't seem as bothered. At least not at first. It's a struggle to adjust to being blind 24/7. And with that troublesome Jade's meddling, Aventurine is now temporarily living in his home to assist Ratio for the time being, It normally wouldn't be an issue, he doesn't mind the gamblers presence. What he does mind is his own feelings towards said gambler. Such proximity with Aventurine after so long apart, Ratio's hit with the fact that he missed Aventurine deeply.

    Navigating his own feelings along with being blind is a troublesome combination when the person of Ratio's affections is so...elusive.

     

    aka: ratio gets hit by an alien fungi's spores that leaves him blinded. now he has to deal with the consequences of having Aventurine as his emergency contact/caretaker while he works on finding a way to make artificial eyes that suit his specific wants because hes picky.

    Summary

    “I… would let someone… who I trusted try to… revert that, you know? To get used to… a softer touch.” Aventurine spoke hesitantly, and Ratio just hummed again. The blonde laughed breathily, pulling away from their embrace. “I’m asking for you to do that… if you wanted to,” Ratio’s eyes opened wide, finally putting the clues together.

    “Doc, you don’t have to, it was just a suggestion if you were up to it. No hard feelings.” Aventurine assured, but Ratio’s hand gently cupped his cheek, stopping him in his thoughts. “I would like to be the one to teach you what it’s like to be cherished and taken care of. I want to show you what it’s like to not be afraid and to accept someone’s help and affection.”
