    Summary

    To be honest, Grace did have his doubts about him.

    When the new human first woke up, he punched Grace in the face and tried to run away. He didn’t speak for his first three days of being conscious. Not the best first impression.

    Rocky, in the meantime, had one job. He was specifically tasked with building this new human a place to stay. Grace hadn’t made time for blueprints, too busy fumbling the situation that was his first real human in over fifteen years.

    Grace didn’t realize ‘please build the new human a place to stay’ would be translated into ‘expand my home! the human will be living with me!’

    Summary

    Simon just kept trying to breathe, his chest heaving up and down. His bleeding arm, still clenched and curled into himself, stung against sweat.

    The blood on the ground divided the space between them, one hesitant and one wholly unwilling to cross it. Dr. Grace just kept looking at Simon with those wide, blue eyes.

    “Hey…seriously, what is your name?”

    Summary

    « I'll start looking after school. » Grace said. « Can you just tell me what these suppressants are supposed to do so I can already think about it?»

    Simon snorted at his question, and Grace looked back at him in surprise.

    « I know you're a beta, but come on. » Simon said as though the teacher had just made a dumb joke.

    This only confused Grace further, leaving him standing still in their kitchen.

    « … I'm a what now? » He said, blinking at Simon.

    ( Or Simon comes from an ABO verse which is not the case for Grace. Now Grace is left with a lot of questions like : what is an omega and what do you do when your roommate is going into heat ?)

    Summary

    Simon focused on the view. So many stars. They were beautiful, and he was happy they'd be the last thing he'd see.
    "I'm ready." Simon whispered into the still air. The combing stopped, and Simon mourned the loss immediately.
    "You can kill me now."
    AKA: What if Simon misinterpreted why Grace was showing him the Greenhouse? Our bodies become the soil, after all.

    Summary

    This was supposed to be a quick one shot while I worked on my long sizzling slow burn because I was getting impatient for them to get to the kissing bit.
