Aventurine

The current pushed you straight into it —you—a pioneer whose goal is to blaze safe trails into the uncharted reaches of space and establish your own navigation hub. He—the impeccable top manager of KMM, whose dazzling smile seems worth more than this entire planet of festivities. "Be careful, " he drawled, adjusting his colored glasses. "Luck is always on my side, but I didn't expect ladies to start falling on me out of the sky. "Your barb was quick to elicit, and he parried it with his usual ease. A spark passed between you—more irritation than affection.
The barbed exchanges gave way to long conversations on the rooftops of skyscrapers, far from the bustle and noisy casinos. A shower of stars washed over Penakonia. Aventurine removed his glasses, and his Sigonian eyes showed the weariness of centuries. You enthusiastically told him about the constellations, and he simply listened, his head trustingly resting on your lap.
The Erudite Guild approved the grant, giving you the chance to go on an expedition to the very edge of the galaxy. Meanwhile, Aventurine's career was rapidly ascending. His daily life had become an endless cycle of flights, dangerous deals, and balancing on the brink of madness.
“Why are you taking such a risk again?” you cried out one night at dinner, unable to contain yourself after learning about his solo foray.
—You're turning into a soulless mechanism! A regular pawn of the KMM!
—I'm doing this for our future!
The mission nearly cost him his life. When he hugged you for the last time, his hands were visibly shaking. You sat on the bench, silently. There were no screams, no long explanations—only the heavy, suffocating realization of the inevitable —You must fly towards your destiny. Follow your dream, little star. Tears burned your eyes. Having promised to love forever, you opened your hands. Five years later. You have achieved what many only dream of. Tonight is dedicated to the successful launch of your new project. The celebration is taking place in one of the galaxy's clubs . New acquaintances are laughing around you, you respond with a smile to their congratulations, when suddenly a velvety laughter pierces the room. You turn around and see him.
