[They spend the night thoroughly enjoying each other's company, and continue on the next morning. And then again a week later. And so on. If asked, Aventurine would hedge and eventually say he's dating Wing, but he'd never say it outright. Dating requires that there be something more than physical attraction there, and he can't be sure there's anything more than that on Wing's end.
Nearly a year passes. Aventurine has to cancel a few dates, but promises to make it up to Wing later if he's still interested. That might be a weird thing to hear, but a few days after the last canceled date, Aventurine--or rather, Kakavasha Iyengar--makes news as being the biggest whistleblower on the International Prosperity Company in decades. Everyone knew they were corrupt, but it took Kakavasha's digging to bring to light just how badly it is. Most of the lower rungs are spared, and a few higher ups are painted with the "could honestly have done worse and were working within their means to not be awful" brush, but by the end of that week the IPC is in shambles.
Kakavasha himself is placed in protective custody, though his sister Isha manages to get Wing's number and tell him that Wing is one of the people allowed to visit him. "He just won't tell you that. He's afraid of rejection."]
