    Summary

    Grace is put on cleaning duty and gets a mysterious fourth bag of vodka for his troubles.

    Rocky begrudgingly takes on the role of Designated Driver slash Space Blob Supervisor, and receives a different kind of gift in return.

    “Grace. What are you doing?”

    Grace's mouth, still smushed against my xenonite, curves upward: Contentment, happiness, satisfaction. Interesting, that it should be prone to smiling when made stupid by ethanol, but not so much when it gets stupid because of a lack of sleep.

    “‘s called a kiss, buddy. I‘m givin’ you. A kiss. ‘cause you're my best friend annnnd I like you. And y’nno what, you're actually pretty nice. When you’re not goin’ outta your way to be mean to me, that is.”

    Summary

    They’re six days out of landing at Erid. The situation is tough - they’re running out of rations, out of xenonite, out of time - but they’ve pulled through this far. Grace just needs to work out how to dock at the orbital elevator, and they’re dandy-

    Except suddenly, Rocky doesn’t want to go home.

    Summary

    “He’s holding his partner in astrophage crime cum best friend cum special person (jeez, jeez, WHAT) for the first time ever, which he never thought would even actually be remotely possible, and now here he is. Everything that’s happened; everything they’ve survived; everything that still lies ahead on the trip to Erid, assuming he survives that long. He can’t help it.”

    AKA “Grace finally gets to eat that sweet rockussy (he should use a dam but he really wants to taste and he should spit but he really wants to swallow. is okey. a little elemental mercury never hurt anyone too bad).”

    Summary

    He’s actively stepping around Rocky, stepping over him, and heading towards the other end of the lab, cabinets and rows of samples. He could find something else here to look at, check up on the Taumoeba farms…

    Except, he doesn’t even make it to the threshold to cross the hallway of the ship. His feet stop. A complete, precise standstill.

    Rocky had chittered at him, a short burst of notes, monosyllabic in Eridian despite the layers of chords. He registered it not as any word, yet the command still struck.

    Stay.

    Heeled. Like a dog.

    And it wasn’t by any doing of Grace’s own decision making.
