Summary
Aventurine always hired random escorts to accompany him through his heats. A different one every time, all to prevent anyone from getting too close. This had worked fine for him since he became an official within the IPC, and the revolving door of strangers kept everything nice and impersonal. Distant. Safe.
However, after one of his escorts had attacked him and left him on death's door, the IPC execs decide that Aventurine is too valuable of an asset to leave in the hands of random alphas-for-hire. So, now he's to be assigned one, whether he likes it or not. Because his life is one grand, cosmic joke, his assigned 'caretaker' is none other than Veritas Ratio, a man whom he knows all-too-well.
It's fine. All he has to do is endure, and hope none of the cracks in his carefully-managed persona begin to show when under the scrutiny of a man who is entirely too damn perceptive for his own good.
