Summary
you're torturing me with a beautiful face
And yet his foolish, naive heart ached with longing; a painful sort of yearning for something, or someone.
Every single day I wake up with a hollowness in my chest that feels as if I’ve been scraped clean inside. I know I don’t deserve to be loved, and nobody would ever try to love me because it’s too much work, and it’s rotten work, and nobody would ever want to waste their time on a hopeless case like me.
Aventurine took in a shaky breath, blinking back tears.
I know, I can’t ever be good enough for him, and he will never ever love me back, but please, could you please let me pretend that I am? Just for a minute, let me slip into those shoes, until the pain goes away, until I can breathe without it hurting again, until it stops hurting whenever I think about it.

Summary
“Hiya!” The little girl beams back at him, giving him a wave. He waves back and, feeling awkward looking up at them both, clambers to his feet.
She really looks a lot like Veritas—the same hair, the same eyes—the only difference being her much rounder features. She looks around seven or eight, which sticks out to him, considering Veritas doesn’t seem to be any older than his mid-twenties.
“Didn’t expect to see you here,” Veritas says, looking a little suspicious.
“I, uh, yeah, I live here.” Aventurine laughs nervously, gesturing to the door he’d been leaning against.
Ratiorine slice-of-life/found family.
