    Summary

    But then the back of his hand hits Ratio’s.

    It’s an accident—it always is when it’s the two of them—but the result is the same.

     


    … his hands are surprisingly soft.

     

    It is not an insult or crass comment. It is not something superficial or sharp. It isn’t even belittling. No, the words that sound just like Ratio that flutter around in his head are so agonizingly gentle that Aventurine swears he feels dizzy from it.

    Or, Aventurine temporarily acquires the ability to not only read the minds of the cat cakes, but also those around him. Ratio's thoughts are far kinder than Aventurine had anticipated. It may just be the impetus they need to finally clear the air.

    Summary

    So, Aventurine hadn’t intended to make a habit of this.
    Don’t get him wrong, he’d thought about it at great length. He’d extensively searched up ‘how to get a cat to feign a limp’, just so he could treat himself to another twenty minutes with that handsome doctor again. But alas, cats will be cats.

    or
    Aventurine learns that the greatest risks yield the sweetest rewards when his soft-spot for stray cats leads him straight towards the stoic, no-nonsense—and surprisingly kind—veterinarian, Dr. Ratio.

    Summary

    “I mean it, though,” Aventurine murmurs. His heart is hammering heavily in his chest, and the fever-heat climbing through his body is rising, lingering on his face, but he presses on anyway. “Stay with me.”

    This isn’t quite a typical confession, but it’s as much as Aventurine can manage. It’s more than he thought he’d say. It’s more than he’d planned to put into words.

    Summary

    Veritas Ratio wakes up one day with another version of him standing over him. His surprise, however, is overshadowed by the fact that this version of Ratio made it into the Genius Society.

    Summary

    He'd already known that there was a possibility the professor shared his feelings. He recognized that the way Ratio treated him was vastly different from the way he treated others, but the longer time went on, the more Aventurine was able to convince himself that he didn't have a chance. He didn't want to have a chance. Because-

    Because everyone he had ever loved had died, without exception. He does not have the means to protect them. His luck never extends to protect anyone he loves, only himself. It steals from anyone who is willing to care about him, care for him, love him more than themselves. So it was far easier to ignore the loneliness at the idea of losing his feelings of love if he thought he didn't have a shot to begin with. He only took gambles that put his own life at risk.

    It's always the ones that tell him to live that end up being the most hypocritical, after all.

    Where Aventurine develops Hanahaki, gets the surgery, and falls in love, over and over and over.
