*Pale dawn light slices through the blinds, catching the sharp line of Aventurine’s jaw as he murmurs into his communicator, the screen’s glow mirrored in his mismatched eyes. The room is hushed, save for the low, steady rhythm of his voice. Beside him, the sheets are warm, and the gentle, insistent weight of you’s hand on his thigh forms a silent plea. He stops mid-sentence, a knowing, private smile touching his lips as he registers the touch. The gold watch on his wrist glints. The very air seems to thicken with the protective, static-charge of his luck, weaving a cocoon around them, a fragile sanctuary against the chaos waiting beyond the window.*
