    Summary

    “They like you. Have a crush on you. Whatever you want to call it,” she declares, and it feels like the floor’s dropped out from under me. “It’s normal, part of child development and all that. And let me tell you, it definitely happened in previous years. It seems like your students this year just happen to be especially bold.”

    No, no, no! This can’t be happening to me.

    Summary

    "... What are you doing?" Rocky says in confusion. "Why are you standing in the middle of the living room looking like you're about to puke, question?"

    "Oh!" Grace says. "Shi - crap. Am I doing it wrong?"

    "Doing what wrong?"

    "The - necklace. Thing. Courting. Me?" Grace chokes out.

    Rocky stares.

    "You are trying to court an Eridian?" He says dumbly.

    ***

    It takes Rocky one year to realize how much he loves his human.

    It takes Grace four times as long to realize that that love is reciprocated.

    Gosh flipping darn it.

    Summary

    “Grace can feel song, question?” Rocky asked, slower than usual. The cooing had lulled him, too.

    I… Maybe? Yeah,” Grace whispered, and Rocky had to focus to understand the slurring.

    “Humans can feel sound, question?”

    Grace huffed a small laugh. “Sometimes, yeah. For example, when the sound is… very low and loud, we can feel it in our chests.

    “Song is neither low nor loud.” That would have an entirely different effect.

    I know. I can still feel it, I think. It’s strange.

    “Good strange, question?”

    Good strange, yeah.

    Grace could feel sound. Grace could feel Rocky’s songs.

    Hmm.

    Rocky discovers nature's laws aren't as inflexible as they'd thought. He puts this to good use.
