Summary
Aventurine slots himself into one of the corners, hands spread out either side on the waist-high handrail. The walls of the elevator are mirrored, and the image of him glitters everywhere, impossible to miss even as Veritas steps in after him and faces the doors.
In this enclosed space, he thinks he can smell Aventurine - the vestiges of the cologne he know he likes to wear, a whiff of citrus anongst the polished metal and glass.
He closes his eyes and for a second, lets himself enjoy it. No - he should not. He opens his eyes, and makes eye contact with the reflection of Aventurine.
Aventurine’s tilted his head back against the mirror, eyes lidded so that all Veritas can see are half circles of colour. He’s handsome - he’s always handsome, but this is different. The way the lighting hits the plane of his face, maybe, or that intimate expression, or the pretty flush across his cheekbones. There’s just something about Aventurine right now that makes Veritas feel a little feral, like he could just reach over and-
A spiked drink wrecks havoc for Ratio in more ways than one.

Summary
It’s one of those glitzy elevators, everything but the floor mirrored and soft yellow light reflecting everywhere. It serves no purpose except to give Aventurine multiple angles to check out Ratio.
He leans his head back against the cold glass, and thinks about the way the soft lighting curves around Ratio’s muscles. From here, he thinks if he squints he can just make out Ratio’s back muscles which is a rare sight and one of the modern wonders of the universe, as far as he’s concerned.
Ratio could definitely fuck him in a mirrored room, and Aventurine could use one to see exactly how those muscles move.
Fuck, he’s too horny, too hard and too empty. He doesn’t think he’s ever felt so horny before in his life, and he’s been in tight enclosed spaces with Ratio, most handsome man he’s ever seen, before.
This isn’t normal, and the fact that he can’t bring himself to care about it just emphasises the point home.
Aventurine's evening goes in an unexpected direction when he takes a spiked drink.
