❛ WORDS I CAN'T SAY, I WRITE TO YOU ❜
( 愛. ) aventurine had always been a charmer, his words captivating, deceptive, tempting. but when it comes to you, all of it crumbles, and the words of love so unfamiliar to his tongue, he writes to you instead...
take my hands now, you are the cause of my euphoria

born as an avgin, plenty wishes for my eyes to close, never to open again. hated for something i can’t control, even more so now when i too, am in the clutches of the interastral peace corporation. yet you… when you told me without hesitation that my eyes were pretty — no jewels could compare, i thought i had totally lost it. the heart that i thought i abandoned years ago began racing, and i feared you’d hear it pounding, yearning for you. how can you love all that i am?
love, aventurine

he remembered the first time, under the garish lights of his hotel room in penacony. the hatred he'd grown accustomed to, the whispers and stares aimed at his avgin birth… those were bearable. so when he gave you a clear view of his eyes, aventurine thought he was ready to be scorned once again. he'd expected another flinch, another recoil. instead, you focused on every detail of face as if he were art, tilting your head with a soft gasp.
"your eyes...don’t cover them, they're so pretty," you breathed out, in awe. "they're like jewels." then you shake your head before correcting yourself, “no, no jewel could ever compare to them.”
aventurine's smile had frozen. years of practiced indifference crumbled against that one simple statement. he'd been braced for pity, for revulsion—not this warm, honest admiration. his heart, the damn traitor, thundered against his ribs as if trying to break free.
he swore he breathed out a sigh of relief. how can you not hate it? is this how euphoria feels like?
yet, he knows, he always did. only in dreams does aventurine dare to feel freely, because here, in a cruel reality, his past will always be in his shadow.
