    Summary


    if we die at the same time, does it still scare you?

    Perhaps it was his damned luck, Aventurine thought to himself. And he should’ve known better, that this kind of love — the type that comforted him, benefitted him — could never have found him without him needing to pay some kind of price in return.

    Mother Goddess, he prayed silently, a warm tear tracing the side of his face. Please let this be real, because I don’t think my heart can handle this being a dream.

    Summary

    Having a rough day and taking care of yourself afterwards is hard. Wanting to take care of the person you love while they're also hurting is even harder.

    Or: Ratio comes home ready to scream and cry, but ends up settling both Aventurine and himself into a bit of calmer self care instead.

    “Doesn’t matter how smart or careful you are, Doctor.”

    “It most certainly does matter. Had I paid more attention to my surroundings rather than being an-”

    “Don't tell me — even the eminent Dr. Veritas Ratio has fallen victim to the myth that 'things like this' could only ever happen to 'people like that'?"

    Summary

    “Hey, are you even listening to me? This is important, Alhaitham. If you don’t feed this starter it will die and I’ll have to start from scratch.” Kaveh huffed, stomping over to Alhaitham and tapping on his earpiece where he knew the noise cancellation control was. A trick he learned after countless times fixing the headset for his roommate. “I put my blood, sweat, and tears into that sourdough starter, Alhaitham. Don’t let it die.”
    Sunset eyes flicked up to stare at Kaveh boredly. “I’ll try.”

    Summary

    There had been a time in his life where he could not imagine bathing in a cold river in the early twilight of evening. But then again, the Kaveh from before would not have had the confidence to imagine a great many things, so perhaps the water flowing around him is the least of his concerns.

    - - -

    Alhaitham is the Prince of the Zora and Kaveh is, very decidedly, not the Champion Hero everybody is talking about. (And all the better for it. Kaveh's pretty sure Alhaitham isn't interested in that kind of excitement. Not when his alternative is a lazy tour of Hyrule with his very pretty traveling companion.)
