    Summary

    Rocky’s new suit opens up a whole new world of interactivity within the small bubble that is The Hail Mary.
    It makes everything a little bit easier to deal with (a little bit easier to fix).

    Or

    5 times Rocky helps out Grace with his newfound ability to touch things around him, and 1 time touching Grace is the thing that helps the most.

    (Previously titled “Rocky Can Touch, Question?”)

    Summary

    When Rocky wakes up after Adrian, he's relieved they're both alive, but immediately knows that something is off with Grace. He's having trouble breathing, sleeping a lot, and spiking fevers. As much as Grace wants to blame it on lung irritation from the ammonia in Rocky's atmosphere, Rocky knows he's downplaying it, and it's not going to work.
    However, before he can actually do anything about it, the ship's power goes out. Taumoeba have gotten into the fuel and eaten all the astrophage, leaving them with no choice but to steal from the beetles.
    Which are on the outside of the ship.
    Which means two EVAs and a lot of lab work for Grace, all while his condition declines from what's quickly turning into a serious health problem. All Rocky can do is make sure he has what he needs and try to take care of him as best he can from afar, hoping they can get to safety before Grace's health is too fragile to recover.

    Summary

    “Ouchhh.” I moan, still holding my belly, “Whyyyy?”
    The familiar clunky sound of Rocky’s footsteps in his xenonite suit grows steadily nearer as he scuttles over. I must’ve alerted him with my griping and groaning. So much for not being a bother.
    He stops near the foot of my bed.
    “Rocky heard Grace make noise.”
    “Sorry about that,” I say, voice muffled.
    “No apology, Grace.” He scolds, “Am worried, not bothered. What is wrong, question?”
    “My tummy hurts.” I say matter-of-factly into my pillow, “And I’m being a big baby about it.”

    //

    Grace hasn’t had someone to take care of him when he’s sick in a long, long while. Having forgotten that he’s lactose intolerant, he’s now battling an upset stomach, which Rocky is determined to soothe. Grace finds that Rocky’s help may be exactly what he needed.

    Summary

    Sleeping is so much easier with Rocky around. Well… maybe not necessarily easier, but… better?

    Before I met Rocky, I mostly just felt too awful all the time to get much rest. And after we parted ways, the nightmares that had been taunting me on and off started coming with a vengeance. The nightmares aren't gone now, of course. But it's better.
