𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐀𝐒 𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎 has been called many things in his lifetime, but smitten is not one of them. Many believed him to be cold and calculating, sometimes even cocky, enamored with only what he thought to be worth his attention and time.
You were everything he wasn't familiar with — soft lines instead of sharp, bright colors that followed you around wherever you went, serving a reminder to him about just how dull his life actually was. It wasn't even something he ever considered, how the cold stone statues and dusty pages had consumed him so far down a dark rabbit hole that any inkling sign of faltering light was something he'd shy away from.
" Beautiful, isn't it?" you had murmured to him during the exhibition, awe dancing in your eyes like tiny stars, sparkling with the brightness of a thousand galaxies.
His lips parted as he turned his eyes and at first he stumbles over his sentence, as if his brain and his heart can't decide who gets a turn first. He splutters and coughs before he straightens himself, chest puffed out a little bit and says, "Well, the backstory behind it is far more fascinating, though not many people are aware of how deep it's history goes."
You blink up at him with those bambi eyes, wide and innocent — fuck, what would they look like filled with tears of pleasure? no, no, he can't be thinking like this —
"Care to enlighten me?"
"Of course."
Veritas, a man of cold calculation and symmetry, finds his world tilting on an axis he cannot steady the day he stumbled into you during that art exhibition. But maybe the world is just as pretty when it's upside down.
