    Summary

    It's not jealousy. Adrian is adamant about that. They are actually insisting that it’s not any emotion at all. Not even dislike. They are simply completely uninterested in anything that concerns “the human”. 

    Rocky believes them. Adrian has always been the level-headed one out of the two of them. They are too logical to be jealous. They acknowledge that Grace and Rocky have a special bond after everything they went through together and also understand that none of that will ever pose a threat to their relationship. 

    Neither are they heartless or ungrateful. They know that Grace is the only reason that Rocky is back at all, the only reason their star has stopped dying. Adrian has told Rocky again and again that they are grateful and happy and wish the alien no ill will. They even helped with the construction of the biodome.

    And yet they have no desire to get to know Grace. 

    **************

    You know those videos where the dad is like "You may keep the cat but I will have nothing to do with it" and a few days later they are smothering the kitty with cuddles and love?

    Adrian never stood a chance.

    Summary

    "Grace sad, not good. I fix."

    "… Um. How?" I ask. "Oh, God, please don't make me a human-shaped robot to hug. That would be so creepy."

    "No robot," Rocky promises.

    (Or: Grace was touch-starved even before he left Earth. Rocky attempts to fix.)

    Summary

    “Health improving. Happy happy happy.”
    “Wow Rock, I didn’t know you cared so much!”
    I’m just teasing, trying to make light of how closely he seems to observe me. But the mood of the conversation swings and when he speaks it’s louder, frustrated, almost offended. “Of course care! Of course!"

    Summary

    Grace grabs his glasses and puts them on so he can make sure that the person next to him is Simon. He needs to know that Simon isn't a figment of his imagination.

    His boyfriend's face comes into focus. Simon is more awake each time he blinks, eyes focusing on Grace. Wrinkles of concern settle between his eyebrows and on the top of his nose.

    “Ry?”

    Grace makes out Simon's torso with his hands. Smooth skin. Hair. The dip of his navel. Scar tissue. Nipples. The peaks of a few too many ribs. Simon is real. He's here. Grace didn't just invent him out of loneliness. Grace remembers him. Remembers his body and how it feels.

    “Baby,” Simon says.

    “Sorry. Sorry. I—nightmare.”

    -

    Or: Grace has a nightmare that he's forgotten Simon.

    Grace is rather pissed with the concept of impossible. It’s not really professional of him but his same-species colleagues are light years away from here to criticize such responses, so. Grace is pissed.

    Summary

    Considering everything that had happened recently, Grace was pretty confident that there was little that could genuinely surprise him anymore.

    In what had felt like a whirlwind, he’d been hand-selected to be the first human to study alien life, even if at that point it was because he had been seen and expendable. His entire life was uprooted shortly after for becoming a little too important in studying said alien life form. Then, waking up several years later and several light-years away from Earth with two corpses who were supposed to be his crewmates. Then, to top it all off, he’d encountered Rocky, a whole new type of intelligent life form who was here at Tau Ceti with the same goal as him. To save their dying stars.

    Yet all that confidence went out to airlock as he stared up at the blinking console, the ship’s monotone alert ringing out. “Radio Transmission in Progress, Accept Transmission? Y/N”

    Summary

    Simon waited.

    Waited for them to apologize. Tell him there’s nothing they could do. That he wasn’t worth the trouble or resources, that he wasn’t worth the time.

    But that never came.

    Instead, after a second Grace came back on the line, his voice sounding determined now. “Alright,” he said. “Hang tight.”

    Simon blinked slowly. “What?”

    “What’s your name?”
    Simon was startled for a moment, and pulled his gaze back to Grace. His eyes were soft—not to say they weren’t before, but something had changed.
    “Simon.”
    Grace smiled. “Nice to meet you, Simon.”

    Summary

    “You were asleep. You had a night terror. I can't blame you.”

    Simon watches the blood drip from Grace's nose. He knows exactly what that blood tastes like.

    “I hurt you,” Simon says, like Grace is slow. They both know that Simon is the stupid one of the two, even though Grace is too nice to admit it.

    Grace shrugs. Like it's no big deal that Simon woke him with a punch to the face.

    “Sometimes you get hurt.”

    -

    Or: Simon has a night terror and hurts Grace.
