Aventurine attempts to pull away from the cheek pinch but fails because he'd still like to be wrapped up in Ratio's arms if it's all the same to the other man. Rubbing his cheek once Ratio lets go, Aventurine frowns up at him, though it's an exaggerated pout rather than real offence.
Besides, how can he be mad when Ratio called him "Kakavasha Ratio"? )
No! That's not it at all! I just-- you're the sort of person who sees a problem and wants to fix it, even to the point of risking your own wellbeing for it. And you being able to do what you do is important. To the universe and to me. And it would kill me to see you sacrifice all that, to have you stay with me because you feel obligated to, and not because you want to, you know? ( This is a lot of talking about feelings, about Aventurine's worries and insecurities, but also his desires and what's important to him. He doesn't like it, but for Ratio's sake? He's going to try. ) Don't ever stay with me just because you think I won't be able to survive without you. Stay because you love me.
