    Summary

    Aventurine is bathed in the spotlight of strangers’ gazes, and Ratio has been watching him all evening – Gambler hasn’t met his gaze even once. They had a falling out on the mission – foolishly and harshly, that didn’t escalate into a heated argument, but ended in an icy silence.

    Doctor Ratio's sure he was noticed. They always did it this way: Aventurine would entertain the guests for a while, and then, if things went well, he and Veritas would spend the rest of the evening together.

    Ratio thinks with nausea that today everything will be different, sipping white wine from his glass and trying to drown his guilt in it.

    OR

    Aventurine and Dr. Ratio had a fight during a mission and Veritas wants to fix it.

    Summary

    Here was the risk that Ratio had been anticipating. He made a move to enter, but beyond the doorless opening he heard a sound.

    “Dr. Ros.” It was Aventurine. Ratio suppressed a groan. How could he be so stupid? Didn’t he know that this room was what Eosphoros-I was famous for? He prepared to stride inside and drag whoever was there out to a proper meeting room—

    —before he stopped short at the sight of himself.

    On a distant planet slated for IPC acquisition, there exists a room designed to extract one’s deepest desires.

    Summary

    Stiffly, Ratio resumes flipping through pages, scratching here and there with his pen. Satisfied at the response, Aventurine kneels so that he is face-level with the bust situated on the side table. From the corner of his eye he can feel Ratio’s gaze return to him.

    Really, Ratio is far too funny.

    “I wonder…” Aventurine clicks his tongue, purposely trailing off.

    “Keep your inquiries and daydreams to yourself, gambler.”

    Aventurine faces some rumors floating around the IPC head on. Or, Aventurine kisses Ratio's bust to prove a point or two.

    Summary

    Ratio tapped the pick-up option on the screen and put Aventurine on speaker.

    “Aventurine, you’re on-”

    “Hey, babe,” Aventurine’s voice echoed around the board room, bouncing off every surface possible, resounding much too loudly in everyone’s ears, “Just checking, you’re still coming over tonight, right?”

    Everyone went dead silent.

    ◇─◇──◇─◇

    Ratio puts Aventurine on speaker during a meeting with the IPC. In hindsight, he should have warned him first.

    Summary

    As strange as it is to say, seeing the doctor teary-eyed has him more intrigued than he'd care to admit.
