Is this... Delusion?
Tumblr media
author's note; just a few short scenarios that I've been through which really make me question everything. I have so many of these, but I think there was only one guy that was actually serious (⁠´⁠ ⁠.⁠ ⁠.̫⁠ ⁠.⁠ ⁠`⁠)
content notes; gn!reader (pronouns not used/mentioned), modern au because some of these scenarios don't make sense in the original universe
Tumblr media
♡ You think you've seen Blade for the fiftieth time this week. You understand the campus you both go to isn't very large, but you have definitely seen him more than any other student. He doesn't pause to speak to you, he just gives you a small glance, which feels more like a glare if anything. You bring it up to Fu Xuan in passing to which she responds:
"I find it strange.. his department is farther than yours. There would be no reason to pass through if he wanted to take the most efficient route."
♡ You notice there is always an empty space next to Alhaitham, no matter where he is. At first, you felt bad that no one sat next to him, so you decided to take the seat next to him. You introduce yourself to which he does the same. Although, he isn't much of a talker, he doesn't seem to mind your constant ramblings. One day, you walk up to him and find Kaveh sitting next to him. Once he notices your approach, he sends Kaveh a subtle look as if to say move it. Kaveh shoots him a glare before getting up with a grumble.
♡ You weren't poor, but you weren't exactly rich either. Aventurine, however, was. He wasn't one to particularly flaunt his wealth, but somehow you had a constant reminder of it.
"My rings? Do you like them? I could buy one for you. It's not an issue. Think of it as a gift for helping me with my homework last week."
"It's your birthday, right? I got you something. It's not much, but-- it's expensive? Oh, no, no, I only spent a little more this year. How much more...? Let's just celebrate, alright?"
"Are you hungry? You don't have enough for a snack? That's alright. What do you want and don't just pick the cheapest thing, okay?"
Seems the more you deny him, the more persistent he gets.
♡ You always spot Kaveh with a pen in his hand. He tends to spin it around, balance it on a finger, and throw it at Alhaitham (the usual). You even find him doodling on his hand at times. You always compliment him on the little doodles and he always chuckles in response. At times, he ends up filling his hand with doodles and running out of blank space, so he turns to you with a smile. You don't deny his silent request (you had been meaning to ask him if he would draw you a little doodle). You extend your hand to him and let him work his magic. Depending on his mood, he could draw whatever. Sometimes it's a horrible sketch of Alhaitham while he grumbles about how Alhaitham finished the coffee that morning. Other times it's a beautiful flower which you wish you didn't have to clean off your hand. One time he drew a cluster of hearts which matched the ones on his hands.

Happy birthday Aventurine
...in which he finds himself enjoying his birthday for the first time after he lost everything
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
notes - gn!reader, was written with a stellaron hunter!reader in mind but it's not specified just know you're considered a criminal in this one, pre-canon, unestablished relationship with a flavor of pining, angs, hurt/comfort, no beta
Love my birthday boy
He doesn't celebrate his birthdays. Not since the day he lost everything. How can he celebrate the joy of his birth if on this day all the joy was taken away from him?
Born on the blessed day, he's Mother Goddess's beloved child. But why did she abandon her people then? Why it had to happen on the day they were celebrating her, on the day they were supposed to be saved? How can he see himself as something other than cursed, how can he see the day as something other than tragedy?
Anyhow, even if he would want to celebrate, for the first years after the massacre he didn't even have the opportunity to do so. And if he could, he would rather mourn his people, his family. But no, he can only focus on his survival, trying to fulfill the promise he gave to his sister.
Now, standing in the lonely hotel room, he can only smile bitterly at the sight of beautifully decorated cake Jade has send him. How ironic, wasn't she the one who told him to forget his name and his past? Perhaps she simply doesn't look at this the same way he does. "You can't change what happened but you can celebrate that you're still here", she would probably say. He envies her ability to brush off sentiments, really.
Now, when he is no longer Kakavasha but Aventurine of the Ten Stonehearts, he was deliberately choosing to ignore this day. It has nothing to do with his new self.
He may still hold onto his mother's necklace, his father's shirt, the promise he gave to his big sis. But this day? He doesn't need it. He doesn't need another reminder of the moment he lost everything.
That's what he tells himself, ignoring the pain in his chest, trying to bury himself in the work, running away on a mission he insisted on taking, even if was supposed to be his day off.
Still, he gets the cake. This stupid reminder of the worst day in his life.
It honestly feels like a joke. He doesn't even have anyone to eat this with!
He knows Jade didn't try to mock him, she's pragmatic, not crue. But aeons, it does feel like mockery still.
So he sits with this stupid cake in front of him, not really knowing if he should just throw it away. Somehow it feels... wrong. Wasteful. He knows how stupid that thought is, both him and Jade are rich enough to buy thouthands of those cakes. Yet he can't help but remember how his mom and sister would go out of their ways to give him something nice for his birthdays, something that could be considered a treat, a gift. Now he can have everything he wants but... they won't be there to share it with him.
No one is there to share it with him.
... at least he thinks so. Up until the moment the window opens from the outside (eighteenth floor, mind you) and a very familiar figure jumps in.
He really can't help but smile. Not only out of habit but because your ability to sneak in anywhere you want is truly amusing.
"Oh, what I see? A wanted criminal breaking into the room of one of the IPC's most noticeable employees? Don't you afride of being caught, my dear? Or you've finally decided to end our partnership and get rid of me?"
He can't help but chuckle at your unimpressed gaze. Yes, he has told this joke more than once already. But it's not his fault it always make you roll your eyes in a funny way.
But he really is curious what brought you here. Showing up like that is very risky, for both of you. Something serious must have happened if you decided to visit him out of the blue.
... that's what he thinks until you pull out a small gift box from your pocket, throwing it his way.
"A little birdie told me today it's your birthday. I don't usually participate in the whole gift giving tradition. Nor do I celebrate something myself. But those things reminded me of you and I was nearby anyway" you say with a cheeky smile.
He doesn't even know how to react, honestly. His hands just automatically unwrap the box and... oh. It's a set of earrings. A very pretty set of earrings.
"They reminded me of peacock tails" you say, barely holding back a chuckle.
"How original you are. I'm a birthday boy, you should be nicer, you know!" he acts like it's just a small joke between you two but his voice is weaker than usual and his hands are a bit shaky. He doesn't want to overthink it, he really shouldn't do it, it's just a small gift, a joke.
You thought of him. You know his taste well enough. I came to find him. You're here with him.
He almost panics when you say your goodbyes and turn to leave (through the window again. He'll never know how you do it).
"Hey, hey, no need to hurry. Let me be a good host for my friend" he says with his signature smile (he always feels like you see right through it) while his hand is clenched behind his back (he feels like you see through this too).
Please don't leave.
When you sigh and turn back to face him, he suddenly feels relieved that Jade send him the cake. The thought of sharing it with a wanted criminal who caused nothing but headaches to the IPC is somewhat amusing.
"How about we visit a nearby casino after this, hm? I promise you won't lose with me by your side"
If he can have you by his side, mayve he'll have at least one memory of this day untainted by pain and grief.

HEHE HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME AND TO AVENTURINE
fluff , gn ! reader , teeny tiny angst , aven's real name is used , 2nd pov , established relationship (late bday special)
Tumblr media
waking up, you checked your phone for the time, then noticed a notification. your eyes scan the reminder, and your sleepiness was gone in an instant as your eyes was left wide.
"it's may six.. it's may six!" you rejoiced, looking at aventurine who's still sleeping. quickly covering your mouth, you head to the kitchen and prepared all of the things you needed to do, and make all of the food.
the moment aventurine wakes up, he was instantly greeted by the sweet smell of sweets from the kitchen. "oh my, such a nice smell." he chuckled, hugging you from behind as he opens his sleepy eyes.
there, aventurine noticed the delivered cake on the table, an icing pipe on your hands, and other foods such as ice cream and pizza. his eyes trail to the cake, reading: "happy birthday!"
"oh, whos birthday is it?" aventurine raises a brow. you let out a giggle.
"ours, duh!"
the blonde raises his brow is confusion. "ours?" he couldn't help but ask. "hehe, it's our birthday. today is may six!" you exclaim with a smile, kissing his cheek and cleaning your mess.
his eyes widened. "i wanted to celebrate your birthday yesterday, but i decided to celebrate it today with me." wiping the remaining stains off your hands, you look at him. you were surprised with the tears on his eyes.
"kakavasha, dear?" you ask in concern. today was supposed to be a special day, so seeing him emotional was concerning. "i- i'm sorry, was the food not to your liking? is the cake not your favorite flavor?" you quickly ask.
"no.." he replied with a slightly shaky voice. "i'm just happy you remembered." he smiled at you, tears streaming down his face. "i- i'm thankful you prepared."
your worries were gone as you gave your lover a warm smile. "of course, why would i forget?" you ask, kissing his tears away. "love, don't cry. today's a special day for both of us. come on, let's enjoy."
aventurine looks back at the table filled with all the food you made for the two of you. he remembered the days when he was but a child, living with his sister. the time where he had to survive and barely ate nothing. and during his birthdays, he only ate at least one whole loaf and nothing else.
but now, here he is. you by his side, table filled with various foods he had wanted to try when he was a little kid.
he kisses your lips with a hum. "i'm really one lucky man to have you." he chuckled, causing you to giggle and kiss him back. "i too am lucky to have you, kakavasha." you smile.
"so, you wanna invite topaz and ratio over?" you ask, looking at the table of food. "because i think we can't eat this all." aventurine thinks about it, before humming, embracing you from behind and burying his nose on your neck.
"sure, the more the merrier." the blonde replied. he raises a brow when you show him a small box. "my gift to you, dear." you show it to him. without breaking the embrace, he takes it and opens it, and his eyes widened in amaze at the content inside it. it was a golden necklace with thr first letter of your name.
he chuckles, showing another small box to you and opening it. it was the first letter of his actual name. "i guess we both have the same idea."
"happy birthday kakavasha."
"happy birthday [name]."
Tumblr media
i know people celebrated his birthday earlier, but i want to make it a bit special for me by celebrating it the same time as mine
happy birthday to our favorite gambler
