I haven't sacrificed more than sleep in an emergency, and only endanger myself if the risk is low, or can be mitigated. What makes you believe I will sacrifice more if I did not desire to be with you? When have I ever done anything out of obligation?
[ Except when he chased after Nous' gaze, a desire that had been borne out of an obligation to please the masses, he's learned to stay true to himself and his own desires. Though most may call him altruistic because his desires align with the betterment of the world, make no mistake—he is selfish, through and through. He is greedy, and he wants the impossible and more.
Aventurine isn't just a whimsy he's soon to discard. He wants Aventurine—wants his love, attention, happiness, safety and more. What he wants of, and for Aventurine, is practically an impossibility—but it is an impossibility he considers a challenge, rather than a deterrent. ]
Kakavasha. I have told you many times over that I will always choose to be with you. Unless you decide otherwise, I will choose to be with you until we have both passed in old age. I will not choose it out of obligation, but because I love you, and actively choose to love you every day. There may be days where we will be at each others' throats, and perhaps where we do not wish to see each other. There may be moments where we question our bond, and perhaps come close to letting it shatter. Even so, I will always choose to love you, and choose to come back to you. Is that not what a vow of matrimony is?
[ He pulls Aventurine close, looping arms around his waist and pressing his forehead against the other's. ]
You are the one I have chosen. The only one I have ever chosen, and the only one I ever will. Your absence hollows my life, and your presence enrichens it. I will be devastated if you are unjustly taken from me, for you possess my heart, and I shall never be whole without you again.
[ His eyes flutter shut and the arms around Aventurine tighten just a fraction. ]
Please... please believe in me. Have faith in me. I will always stay, because I want to be with you.
