Summary
Everyone had their fair share of secrets, some more so than others.
Mydei knew this better than most. To his colleagues and to anyone else he came across daily, he was simply the solemn one. He never said anything more than what was asked of him and he never lingered long enough to befriend anyone else. No man was an island, but Mydei came close to being one.
But alone, in the solitary privacy of his own room every Thursday and Sunday night, he harbored one little secret that he would never deign to reveal to anyone else.
-
or, what do you do when these secrets come to light-and are found out by the person you least wanted to know?

Summary
“Math?” And a published academic journal, at that?
“Yes.” Ratio returns the book to his bag, carrying on, but Aventurine’s stuck on the fact that this is apparently what he does in his free time outside of composing music.
“…I thought you were a pianist.”
“I am a pianist.”
“But– math?” Even Aventurine doesn’t spend that much time thinking about math, and he spends twelve hours a day staring at financial models.
“Does it not occur to you that it's possible to have more than one interest?”
Aventurine lives the same week on repeat: eighty hours of his soul-sucking high finance job, then two nights of dancing off the stress to the beat of his favorite anonymous DJ. His move into a luxury apartment building brings him next door to Ratio, an esteemed classical composer with a love for piano. Eager to make a good impression, Aventurine keeps his clubbing habit under wraps — but he’s not the only one hiding secrets under strobe lights.

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.
