    Summary

    “I am glad to see you,” he says. It doesn’t feel like enough. “You walk into the room and it upturns my entire world. You know that, don’t you? It’s like gravity itself shifts. You don’t have to try. And yet—”

    “And yet, here I am, trying,” Aventurine cuts in, smiling, that gods-awful fake smile. He nudges the tray forward before taking a few steps backwards. “Trying anyway. And it still isn’t good enough.”

    “Aventurine. Don’t—”

    “Don’t worry, doctor. I’ll still love you tomorrow.” It’s said as if it’s a punchline to some cruel joke. All the while, Ratio is helpless to do anything but to watch dumbly as the distance between them yawns wider. “Next time, I’ll book an appointment. Enjoy your coffee.”

    Or:
    Ratio and Aventurine are learning how to do the whole relationship thing.

    Summary

    Ratio shifts forward. “If there is something I can do to assist you, Aventurine, then I will try my best to—”

    “I need you to marry me.”

    To escape a bureaucratic shitstorm brought on by his less-than-complete onboarding paperwork, Aventurine comes to Ratio with a proposal: stay married for a period of two years, then get an easy, quickie divorce once Aventurine's residency status is secure.

    Only, it's not enough for them to simply get married; the marriage has to look legitimate too. Which is fine. Aventurine can act the part. Except, he's not really acting. Not anymore. And this last-minute trip to visit Ratio's family in Bumfuck Nowhere, Veritas Prime as Ratio's newly minted fiancé is threatening to prove it.

    Summary

    “Dear, dear Doctor.” Aventurine laughed quietly, twisting the cap of the bottle. “It doesn’t matter what answer I have. One, you won’t remember any of this in the morning. And two, I don’t think you have any idea what you’re saying, but I’m a hundred percent certain you truly don’t think of me like th—”
    “I do,” Ratio cut him off. “I do.”

    Aventurine gets a call to pick up a drunk Dr. Ratio from a work dinner.
