[ Already, Ratio's mind is filling with design ideas for the necklace he wants to give Aventurine. He traces his fingers against Aventurine's collarbone, humming as he thinks. ]

What would you prefer? A collar necklace? No... perhaps a lariat would fit your peacock-like tendencies. Or we could keep it simple, since it is just meant for us.

[ He continues to gently run his fingers along the junction of the neck and shoulders for a moment longer before they drift downward and he wraps his arms securely around Aventurine's waist.

This is the truest bliss he has ever known, he thinks as he closes his eyes. He wants to burn this moment into his memory forever; capture these emotions so that he never forgets his love and commitment to Aventurine, and make it into his motivation for a better world. A world where Aventurine can live freely and safely. ]

[ Unspoken is the hope that Aventurine, too, will meet Ratio halfway. They have sworn to be together now, so they must both commit to this. Love is an emotion, but it is also a choice. And it's a choice he hopes Aventurine continues to make time and time again. ]
