    Summary

    Aventurine is an escort hired by Ratio for a single undercover assignment. But when Ratio's enemies mistake their fabricated connection for genuine weakness, what was meant to be one night spirals into cohabitation. Trapped under the same roof, their carefully maintained boundaries begin to crack, and the line between performance and reality becomes dangerously blurred.

    -

    "You're nervous," Aventurine observed quietly.

    "I'm not—"

    "Your left hand. You keep clenching and unclenching it. It's a tell." Aventurine reached over without looking, his fingers brushing Ratio's wrist. His touch was light, impersonal, gone almost before Ratio registered the touch. "Relax, Doctor. This is the easy part. All you have to do is stand there looking intelligent and vaguely possessive. I'll handle the rest."

    "That's what concerns me."

    "Ah." Aventurine's smile was sharp. "Worried I'll enjoy it? Worried the Senator will be too easy to manipulate? Or worried that you hired exactly the kind of person you claim to despise for doing exactly the kind of thing you need done?" He tilted his head. "It's okay to be hypocritical, Doctor. We all are, eventually. The trick is learning to live with it."

    Summary

    And then, the unimaginable happens.

    Aventurine, his roommate, the man he only occasionally speaks to for more than minutes at a time, leans over in their shared bed, and kisses him. A brief peck, leaving Veritas no time to react and his world spinning.

    "Wait." He says firmly, giving his roommate pause. "Why did you do that?"

    Aventurine snorts, and his lips twitch like he's trying not to smile. "You told me you love me. You don't remember?"

    The air knocks itself out of Veritas' lungs. "I…I what?"

    The countdown to one Veritas Ratio telling his roommate that he loves him, and the days after.

    Summary

    It was Lorsan's turn to tilt his head now, losing focus of the spell as his curious eyes studied his classmate.

    “What is it?” he asked.

    An awkward silence formed, and Bryon’s lips parted.

    "...I need help," he replied.

    Bryon's voice came out strained, as if he had been trying to force out those words for a long time.

    Summary

    ''If we sleep together again, will you let me be the one to clean you? Who would heal the wounds I have caused you? Would you sleep with me, if possible in my arms?‘’

    ‘’No!‘’ roared Aventurine, as if each question was an arrow piercing the avgin's heart and stomach ‘’There is no need for that, Ratio, damn!!''

    ‘’Then my answer is still no''

    -----

    Aventurine only knew a self-destructive way to receive and give love, but Ratio won't allow to let him stay in that hole
