If you would simply lay low and stop instigating... [ He exhales. ] But that isn't in your nature, is it? Nor is the result of this coinflip, I imagine. For one supposedly so lucky, your fate is wrought with misfortune.

"Love" is a mere chemical in the brain, is it not? And yet... even one such as I cannot help but to fall prey to such emotions.
…it swings like a pendulum; it’s got both its ups and its downs.
Love is a feeling and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. [ he stands on his tip toes to cup ratio’s face. ] I know, and that’s why I hate this, …
[ he shuts his eyes as he falls back down onto the flats of his feet, stepping forward so he can rest his head on the doctor’s chest. ] …will you just stay here with me for a little while? I don’t really want to mingle with anybody else right now.
…it’s not. It never is. I’m already looking forward to its conclusion. A bath, a meal, and then a movie with you and the cakes… all five of us cuddling on the living room sofa. [ he moves his sunglasses to the top of his head, ] Will you call me by my name later… [ his real name. ]
[ he smiles against ratio’s chest. ] I love you so much, Veritas. I won’t have time to despair, not when I’m too busy reveling in the happiness that comes from spending my time with you.
Is it worrying because it’s new? it’s different? [ he circles his arms around ratio’s middle. ] …because the thought of losing it makes your gut wrench?
It... it's rotten luck to have been a hint in the first round. [ there's no avoiding his fate in this game. ] I know it's hard to believe, but I wanted to do better. For you.
...make a scene. If I can take all the heat away from the current round, then maybe everybody will forget you're a hint. And I asked a few to look after you. I don't want us both to blow up. [ he nuzzles into his chest. ] And I'm already looking forward to after the game.
...love you, Veritas. [ he slides his hand up his chest and to the back of his neck, fingers diving into his hair as he tugs him down into a chaste little kiss. ]
[ His hand cradles the nape of Aventurine's neck, leaning into the kiss but pulling back just enough to speak against his lips. ] ...I love you, Kakavasha.

Which is why I would rather you live.

You should know by now that I have no issues with being "implicated" alongside you.

Nor do I. This entire farce is not worth my attention nearly as much as you are.

As long as you do not allow yourself to be consumed by despair, I'll call you whatever you want me to call you... Kakavasha.
