    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

    Finally, Ratio exhales. He steps closer to Aventurine. “I will please you. You will sit there and enjoy it. No trying to please me or get me off. You will simply be still and feel what I give you, until you lose yourself in it." Ratio's voice drops lower, his breath catches. "I want to see you come undone, Gambler."

    OR: Aventurine treats sex as a performance. Ratio only wants the real thing.

    Summary

    “That’s the fate of a gem, is it not?” Aventurine held up his hand, showing off the shining sapphire bracelet that was wrapped around his left wrist. “The more people that use them, the less value they have. They end up scratched and dull and chipped. They’re supposed to be accessories to enhance somebody else’s life; it’s one of the first things I had to understand when I joined the Stonehearts. Nobody wants to get married to a diamond. It’s just the status symbol.”

    OR
    .
    Though they've been dating for weeks, Aventurine refuses to let Ratio reciprocate, and it's definitely not related to his self esteem issues.
