    Summary

    He is just a man. Slightly smaller than average, nearly a head shorter than Ratio himself, but a man nonetheless.

    They have worked together for years. Why is he only now so.. bothered, by the size of him? Is that the correct word to describe these emotions? Was it a singular incident that spawned this fascination, or a compounding number of many smaller incidents? Why?

    "Hey, doctor?"

    Dr. Ratio is distracted by how small Aventurine is compared to him, his classroom forums have noticed his different demeanor, and Aventurine really just wants to get this mission done.

    Summary

    “Don’t you ever feel…” His lips invade the space between them, brushing all sweet and reverent. Words heavy on the tongue, bloodied shoulder stinging with want.

    “…Like what?” Words dissolve against his mouth, waiting to taste the confession.

    “Mm, like…” Bottomless pupils shiver with a devoid hue. As if aching for something to corrupt.

    Should he ruin the doctor too?

    “…something’s missing.”

    Years pass until a blinking, almost human, distress signal is detected deep within the surface of Lepismat. A signal from none other than Doctor Asad Rowan’s intercom, the doomed scholar believed to have perished on an expedition to develop a Swarm disease vaccination. Against all odds, clinging to life.

    Doctor Veritas Ratio, a longtime friend and colleague on the abandoned project, is left dumbfounded. How could his friend be alive after all these years? The only way to discover the truth, it seems, was to go down there himself…

    With the IPC’s most daring chip Aventurine of Stratagems, for good fortune, of course.

    Summary

    you're torturing me with a beautiful face

    And yet his foolish, naive heart ached with longing; a painful sort of yearning for something, or someone.

    Every single day I wake up with a hollowness in my chest that feels as if I’ve been scraped clean inside. I know I don’t deserve to be loved, and nobody would ever try to love me because it’s too much work, and it’s rotten work, and nobody would ever want to waste their time on a hopeless case like me.

    Aventurine took in a shaky breath, blinking back tears.

    I know, I can’t ever be good enough for him, and he will never ever love me back, but please, could you please let me pretend that I am? Just for a minute, let me slip into those shoes, until the pain goes away, until I can breathe without it hurting again, until it stops hurting whenever I think about it.

    Summary

    Suguru says dumb shit all the time, like… ninety per cent of the things he says are dumb, why is this any different? Satoru knows he’s being stupid, is fucking embarrassed, but he can’t stop. He can’t unhear what Suguru said and he can’t unthink everything he’s been thinking all day.
    Because Suguru claiming that the coffee Satoru made for him this morning was so good he was going ‘jack his shit to it’ really shouldn’t have made Satoru choke on his own drink, the liquid burning up his nose and having him coughing until he thought his head was going to explode. Shouldn’t have left him staring in shock after the words passed, Suguru oblivious as he cackled at Satoru’s misfortune.

    Suguru makes an offhand comment. Satoru turns it into an inhand comment. LOL
