    Summary

    Despite his promotion to P46, Aventurine's workplace etiquette has yet to improve. Ratio pays the price for this and takes it upon himself to teach a much-needed lesson; one which both of them will end up enjoying.

    Summary

    She’s a little bigger than she felt in his arms, but that’s barely any improvement. Babies are supposed to be a little chubby, a little wrinkly. And she’s…not. Her little fingers and toes are developed, maybe, and her nose is scrunched up in her sleep, but for a newborn he knows has been carried to term, she looks premature.

    His fingers curl against the glass when he touches it. Eyes glued only on her, even when the cold at his fingertips tries to tear his attention away for a moment. Nothing can pull his eyes away from her. All he can think of is her. How little she is. He didn’t know she was there and look at what he went and did to her. Drank, stressed himself out, put his life and health on the line, and the person taking the brunt of it was her. She didn’t ask for that, and he put her through it anyway, even if it was unknowingly.

    How’s he supposed to be a good dad when the first gift he gave her was near-death, before even giving her life?

    Summary

    When he looks down, he's met with the sight of Aventurine looking up at him, pupils blown wide and tongue darting out to wet his lips. "We could play a little," the absolute vixen whispers. "Please?"

     

    Ratio doesn't answer immediately. Instead, he tips his head back to stare at the roof, traces the subtle patterns there as he fights to think beyond anything that isn't libido-induced recklessness. Technically, they aren't working right this moment. They're dressed plainly, and they blend in with the crowd of city residents and tourists alike. Nobody seems to be paying any attention to them — and if anyone has looked their way, it must have been brief.

     

    Heart pounding in his ears, Ratio lowers his head and can't quite meet Aventurine's eyes when he breathes out — "Alright."

    While waiting for Business Matters TM to resume, Ratio and Aventurine go sight-seeing. ... but Aventurine decides, instead, he wants to torment Ratio today.

    Summary

    “Did you enjoy the show, Doctor?” Aventurine asks, voice still rough but the smile on his face entirely too satisfied.

    “Mm. He was rather rough with you,” Ratio comments, but he doesn’t sound particularly apologetic about it. It’s merely an observation, as if cataloging tonight’s events. He then examines Aventurine’s hips where just moments ago, fingers had dug into his skin. “I suspect there will be marks.”

    Aventurine tilts his head back to present the curve of his throat. “Then I suppose you’ll have to leave your own.”

    —Or, Ratio likes to watch Aventurine getting fucked.

    Summary

    "Do forgive my outburst," Ratio says again. His dark lashes are spiked together with tears, eyes red-rimmed both from inflammation and his habitual eyeliner having bled like watercolor, gleaming ruby rivulets atop the high points of his cheekbones. It makes his irises even more striking, Aventurine thinks fondly.

    Ratio's throat clicks as he swallows, almost more audible than his words. "I should know better than to get so far ahead of myself. You have an unerring way of making me…" He trails off, seeming to hesitate uncharacteristically over his next words.

    "Making you…?" Aventurine takes pity this time and prompts him, even though he isn't sure he'll know how to handle what comes. Ratio is the only one who ever seems to match him for wild curveballs.

    Aventurine makes his way out of the darkness into a strange new part of the Dreamscape, thanks to the help of a good doctor. As strangely mesmerizing as this place may be, however, a containment zone for the Swarm isn't exactly an ideal setting for an emotional reunion.

    Ratio isn't letting that stop him.
