I didn't do it for them... [ he cups ratio's face and smooths a thumb over one of his cheeks. ] I did it for you. I know you didn't die then, but... we don't know how things will be going forward, and if I can ensure that you don't have to float around as a mask permanently, then... [ his hand drops and he gives ratio a kiss. ] I didn't need to think twice. I love you, Veritas, and I want to make sure you're safe just as much as you want to try to keep me safe.
[ Ratio sighs, laying Aventurine comfortably down in the bed and leaning down to press a kiss to his forehead. He stays in bed too, checking his temperature. ] I know. But I am very well capable of taking care of myself, especially in situations where we must make a deal for something.
...no matter. I love you despite your eccentricities, gambler.
But the games here aren’t fair, and there’s always a chance that you could fall victim to one of them. I don’t want you to… [ die. he can’t even bring himself to say it aloud, and so he simply buries his face in ratio’s chest. ] Consider this insurance. We’ll take care of this, of me, and then… we’ll have our safety net…
[ he cuddles close. ] Until then… do you think you could… spoil me tonight…
I know we will. And I can help you too. You need to make a shrine to that guy, right… [ he rolls his eyes. ] And tell everybody about him… Have you even started doing that yet? [ he snorts softly. ]
Let’s watch a movie. Something… mindless. Like a romcom. And cuddle. [ he wants to snuggle with your chest, ratio. ]

[ aventurine buries his face in the crook of ratio's neck, shutting his eyes and humming quietly. ] ...thanks, doc. I knew I could count on you.

Perhaps you'll learn a lesson about offering your entire being to random denizens from this place... [ He mutters, carrying them into their bedroom. ]

Re: day 75, 1/2 - from aventurine's phone.
...and we will take care of it.
[ He allows it, pulling Aventurine in and wrapping his arms around him. ] Would you like anything special in particular? I'm yours for tonight.
