    Summary

    Grace and Rocky are on their way to Erid when they encounter a strange terrestrial vessel that has somehow made its way to space. The single occupant is alive and Grace and Rocky rescue him, but they are then faced with the challenge of gaining this stranger's trust and dealing with the contamination he brought with him.

    *slaps roof of fic* This bad boy can fit so many near-death experiences in it! But also friendship! And fucking (eventually)!

    ***

    "What do you WANT?"

    “I just want you to live!” Grace threw up his hands in exasperation “Is that so wrong? Is that so hard to believe?!—” he lowered his hands and quieted his voice. It took enormous effort. “I just want you to stay alive, and I need you to just sit still so you don’t die.”

    The man’s expression dissolved from roiling rage to bafflement. There was something else too though. Grace could see cogs spinning behind the man’s eyes. Something about that answer had stuck.

    Summary

    “Ryland,” Simon said, his tone gentle but firm.

    Grace blinked, looking at Simon.

    “H-Huh?”

    Simon’s gaze fixed on him. A look of knowing. Of understanding.

    “Take me down,” he repeated. “Pin me before I pin you.”

    Summary

    Simon has a problem. If it’s left up to him, he’ll try to take it to his grave.
    Grace isn’t able to try the same, not for this.

    ——

    Simon can’t tell if Grace actually glances down to his lips as he puts his glasses back on his nose or if it’s just his own wishful thinking, as it happened in the blink of an eye, if it happened at all. “I, uh, was wondering, only if, well, I-,” Grace quickly averts his gaze, shaking his head with a nervous laugh, “You know what, never-”

    Still reeling too much from his debatably imagined glace, Simon reaches across Grace’s space, placing his hand down in the space between Grace’s thigh and his hand. “Use your words, Grace.” One of his brows twitch, not nearly as patient as Grace is. “I hate guessing games, so spit it out.”

    The nervous grin never leaves Grace’s lips and the bulb above the stove highlights the way blood rushes to his cheeks.
