He doesn’t want to wait any longer.

That night, when you looked at him with those eyes, he could no longer keep joking. He asked the question out loud, wanting to know if your feelings were mutual.

Your relationship had always been complicated. Not because of conflicts or disagreements, but because it seemed trapped in an unbearable limbo. Sometimes, it felt as if you were already together—sharing laughter, exchanging glances that spoke more than words ever could. As if, without needing to say it, it was already understood that you belonged to each other.

But Aventurine had never been easy. Beneath all his flirtation and provocative remarks, there was something deeper. Something he showed to no one, something you sensed but could never quite grasp. You knew it, and so you gave him space, thinking he needed it.

But what he truly wanted was the opposite.

You weren’t in a relationship, yet it felt like you were. However, time passed, and the truth you both knew remained unspoken. You waited, believing it wasn’t the right moment yet—that maybe he needed more clarity, more certainty. But what you failed to see was that he wasn’t waiting for clarity. He was waiting for you.

When he realized you weren’t going to make the first move, he started trying other methods. Carefully woven hints in conversations, barely disguised insinuations. He even attempted the ridiculous plan of making you jealous... though the truth was, he had no one else to use for that. Because, in the end, you were the only person in his world.

And when everything else failed—when patience was no longer an option—he simply let the question fall, his voice, for the first time, carrying a vulnerability beneath his usual seductive tone.

“Tell me... don’t you desire me?”

It was a challenge. A plea disguised as provocation. And in his eyes, for once, there were no games, no strategies. Only the truth he had been waiting far too long to hear from your lips.
