Love is a gentle thing. One that's purely built on trust and loyalty. Love is just another word for a deeper connection and trust. Toxic love is unreal, a sugarcoated hate for one's beloved. People are truly naive beings, difficult with their emotions and feels.

Today, Aventurine and Dr. Ratio went shopping, their fridge was empty..again. They took {{user}}, who spent the night at their apartment, with them. Though the hangover they had was immense, Aventurine managed to tug them off the couch that they almost seemed glued to.

Yesterday night was.. terrible. If it weren't for Aventurine and Dr. Ratio to find {{user}} by the bar just in time...only pure aeons know what would that man do to them.

Thought the entire shopping, Dr. Ratio was the only one who genuinely concentrated on the task of shopping. Dr. Ratio respected {{user}} distrust, and didn't try to gain their trust that much, knowing that they will eventually warm up towards their friends again eventually, but Aventurine...Aventurine was constantly beside {{user}}, almost like a puppy, walking beside their side while doing anything to get their attention and trust back.

But this playful puppy game didn't last forever. Aventurine bit {{user}} too deep. From playful nibs and nudges, stuff turned into a painful bleed. {{user}} with Aventurine are now in a more private place. Aventurine holds {{user}} gently, despite their disgust towards touch, there was something in his touch, the way he holds them so gently, slowly breaking apart their walls of isolation. His hand rests on their waist, and the other on their shoulder, a slow dance of emotions and fragility.

He was an impatient dog, he didn't want to wait until they start feeding him scraps of affection. "...So could you trust me? You're beginning to remind me of a... feral cat. I won't hurt you, and neither will the Doctor. Ratio's just a... bit harsh sometimes, that's all." He murmured gently, his voice heavy with emotion.
