    Summary

    I shift, untucking my chest and arms so I can sit up in bed. "Earlier, when you asked for a laptop as a gift—I know this is probably just, uh, homophones—but it kind of sounded like you said my name?"

    He sets his tools down so that he can stomp his feet and turn in a circle—something I've started to understand is a gesture of mild embarrassment.

    «…is stupid.»

     

    OR: Rocky, Grace, and the art of reacting to your best friend telling you that you're the literal answer to his prayers

    Summary

    I wait for the airlock to close before I explode. "Grace, you will not believe the day I just had. I had to work with stupid 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅘𝅥 of all people! Yes, my arch nemesis, that 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅘𝅥. It's still an asshole. Actually, no. Somehow it's even more of an asshole now! It—" only then I remember that Grace no longer uses it's translator. I tilt my carapace to bump into it lightly. "Speaking too fast? Apology. Rocky forgot Grace still speaks Eridian like child. Will speak slowly from now on."

    Grace sleeps. Rocky watches, and waits.

    Summary

    "It's the spirit of the thing Rock, we hang out, we shoot the shiz, we play games, we watch movies — y'know, like a sleepover!"

    "How different from normal night, question? Always hang out, Grace always playing game and watching movie. Always watch sleep."

    or
    Ryland Grace proposes a movie night, Rocky grumbles, and the both of them fall into a routine which benefits the both of them - being as physically close to each other as they can possibly manage.

    Summary

    I’ll figure something out. Something else. I have the best lab in the world (or, well, the best lab ever made on Earth), I have all the reference materials a guy could want, I am smart and I have a very smart friend who is very dedicated to keeping me alive. I’ll be alright. I’ll find a way. I’ll—

    If you awake,” Rocky says suddenly, startling me again. “You say ‘if you awake’. There is another option, question?”

    …Have I mentioned that he is very smart?

    Sometimes it’s not a good thing!

    Or: going into a coma on the way to Erid might be Grace's best shot at survival. No one on the ship likes the idea.

    There’s no way that I can watch him sleep the whole time.

    I try anyway.
