    Summary

    “It occurs to me, after spending a few weeks with Rocky intermittently in his new suit, that I may have messed up some neural pathways in my brain. Rewired them.

    I can hug Rocky now. I can hold his hand, or pat the top of his carapace, or pester him until he cards his claws through my hair. Pretty much anything I can think of, I can do with him. It’s not without limitations, of course, the suits’s structural support occasionally providing some challenges to work around, but it should be enough.

    Yet, I find myself craving more. Not in frequency, but in intensity. I want to lay arched backwards over him until every vertebra in my spine hurts. I want him to tug the tangles in my hair and scratch at my scalp until I can feel it in the bone of my skull. I want my ribs to creak with every hug. I want more heat than the barrier will let through. To feel it prickle and sear against my skin—just the right side of actually burning. I want to dig my cheek into the jagged edges of him until they imprint on my skin.”

    Summary

    “Rocky rolls his ball right over my foot.

    I can’t remember the last time someone stepped on my foot. Maybe a busy conference room or a bustling hallway, years and worlds away.

    It’s a weird sense of normal, of home, to feel that kind of thing again. So even as the resulting bruising chameleon color-shifts, easing to a sickly yellow, I keep pressing at it. I keep aggravating it. That keeps the memory a little more vibrant and alive.”

    Summary

    “Are you sure you want to do this?” Grace asked, sitting cross-legged in front of Rocky’s xenonite barrier. The alien stood on the other side, tapping a foot impatiently against the metal floor. “Human bodies can be… gross.”
    Rocky’s radiator vents let out a small huff. “Yes. Human body disgust but must learn everything for living on Erid.”

    Rocky wants to know all about human anatomy, and Grace opens up a lot more than he was expecting.

    On the way to Erid, Grace dreams.

    “What does Grace need, question?”

    Grace needs to die, statement. Not that he would say it.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace used to struggle in his younger years and he carries the reminders of that on his arm but Rocky didn't need to know that. He couldn't see details like that on Grace anyway.
    Well until he did.
