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
“Sorry, bud. It’s going to be a hm… a bit of a pickle to keep me alive.” Grace chuckles.
“Eridians build whatever Grace needs." Rocky chirps. ”Food that taste good and other stupid needs. Grace no worry. Stay alive and happy, Rocky make sure.”
Grace nods, but that familiar fear is creeping up on him. The one that visits him when his head hits the pillow, that makes him feel like he's just stalling the inevitable. It's silly.
All he has to do is not starve on the way to Erid. Then he'll be the only human on the planet. For the rest of his life. Which is not scary at all.

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.

Grace Sleep, Rocky Watch by KawaiiSpaghetti

Summary
The alien—Grace—is finally asleep. Or, at least, Rocky thinks he is. He’s curled on his side, tucked away under a covering. Rocky sits on the other side of the alcove the human lies in, fiddling away with one of his many repair projects. Typically, watching another as they sleep is fairly straightforward and uneventful. Not much is needed beyond something to do and to keep a lookout for whoever’s resting.
But Rocky can’t help but focus more on Grace as he rests. He just can’t; the way the human sleeps is, quite literally, otherworldly.

Summary
On the way back to the Blip A following their misadventures over Adrian, Rocky and Grace are recovering from their injuries, exhausted and traumatised, when a misunderstanding threatens to tear them apart.
Chapter 2, Grace's pov.
“ - Grace liar,” Rocky snapped, deliberately moving as far from the barrier as he could and hunkering down in the corner, tremors continuing to run through him.
His hand was still on the xenonite. It was shaking. “Rocky - “
“ - leave me alone! Demand.”
His teeth sank deep into the side of his mouth until he could taste blood. “I'll leave you alone if you can tell me you're safe right now.”
Rocky's carapace jerked up towards him and he spoke in a low monotone. “What Grace going to do if not safe, question? Don't have anymore scabs to blow off.”
Oh, that was...getting hit with superheated ammonia had hurt less. Didn't matter. “Are you safe?”
“Yes. Go.”Bookmarked by PouncePeruses
