Summary
The longer Grace spends with Rocky, the more he wishes he could touch him. Grace has never been a very tactile person, but something about his alien roommate has him contemplating what it would be like to throw an arm around him or grab his hand without the xenonite between them.
It's not like Grace has anyone else to touch these days.
Or: Five times Grace wants to hold Rocky's hand, and one time he gets what he wants (and more).

Thank god I'm not alone. Thank god he's here. I've never really believed in god, but Rocky is here and I can't think of anyone else I can thank for that. Maybe Stratt.
Grace's emotions are a boiling pot, constantly overflowing.

Summary
In modern Western tonal music theory, a diminished second is the interval produced by narrowing a minor second by one chromatic semitone. It is enharmonically equivalent to a perfect unison; therefore, it is the interval between notes on two adjacent staff positions, altered in such a way that they have no pitch difference in twelve-tone equal temperament.
The ache I feel for Adrian has been a part of me for so many years that it is a familiar dragging weight, like a mangled sixth limb. The ache for Grace is stranger, worse. Not because he is an alien, but the opposite; he is so much of myself that I have entirely lost the sound of where he begins and I end, and somehow I still want him closer, closer, closer.

Summary
My arm hangs limply by my side as Rocky takes my hand into his, examining it closely. He pulls my fingers apart, then wraps his hand around each of them, one after the other.
“What’chu doing, bud?”
He looks up at me, making a noise that I recognize as an idea brewing in his brain. “I will make rings,” he says.
“What?” I ask. And again, as my brain truly catches up with the meaning of what he’s said: “Wait, sorry, what?”
Rocky releases my hand, straightening like a man on a mission. “You say rings mean staying together forever. I make rings for us. So we stay together. Like last-finger-promise.”
/////
Or: Rocky learns about the tradition of giving a ring to the person you love. So naturally, that’s what he’s going to do.
