Summary
“Why’d you call me a gambler?”
Ratio’s head tilts again. His face doesn’t move much. But Aventurine swears he sees the shadow of something like amusement in his features—wry and private, like he’s smiling at a joke no one else heard.
“I can hear it,” Ratio says.
“Hear what?”
“Every time you shift your weight,” Ratio responds, voice low, “there’s a coin in your coat or pants pocket. It strikes against the lining three times—once when you move, twice when you stop. It’s weighted. Slightly larger than standard-issue credits. Smooth edge. It doesn’t roll.”
Aventurine stares.
Ratio lifts his chin. “It is not a commemorative token. It is not a medallion. It’s the kind used in high-stakes tables. Heavy enough to flip with flair, thick enough to stack without slippage. You gamble. Or you want people to think you do.”
A beat.
Aventurine’s mouth goes a little slack. His tongue clicks against the roof of it, dry. “You heard that?”
“I hear everything,”
Aventurine laughs, but it’s shaky, breathless. “You're unnerving, you know that?”
“I get that frequently.”

Summary
The first time it happens, Veritas Ratio wants to smash his head into the nearest wall.
Veritas Ratio, who once dissected a cadaver with the same composure he used to drink his morning tea, finds himself genuinely contemplating the physics of skull-to-brick impact velocity as he stares—stares—at what he’s just carved into marble.
A bust. Not just any bust. That man’s bust: Aventurine.
The bust glows faintly, its marble skin catching the light like Aventurine’s own under the late-afternoon sun that filters through their shared dorm window.
Ratio hurls a dust cloth over the bust.
He blames sleep deprivation.
He blames the ambient influence of idiocy—proximity to Aventurine must lower his brainwaves.
He even blames the Systemic Injustice of Housing Assignments.
…
Or, a stupid fic of Ratio falling in love with Aventurine while making art of him.
