Summary
The Eridian thrills a high sound that doesn’t get picked up by the translator which means that it has no clear meaning. Like when a human gasps or sucks in a deep breath. It actually sounds a little like that. When they notice that I’m staring straight at them they scramble back into their hiding spot and hold very still.
A child, I realize with a start.
That’s a child!
“Hey,” I call and the kid squeaks again. I was about to get to my feet but abort the movement and crawl closer on my hands and knees until I'm inches away from the xenonite wall. I wait and it takes me much too long to realize that they don’t have to peek around the corner to see if I’m still there.
“Hey there,” I try again, my voice low and calm. It’s my teacher voice, the one I use for shy and scared students.
Used.
The fact that I haven’t had to use it for years and it still comes to me automatically almost knocks the air out of my lungs but this is not about me, it’s about making sure the little pebble doesn’t die of fright from the scary alien. “Hi, I’m Grace. It’s alright, you don’t have to be scared.”

Summary
To be honest, Grace did have his doubts about him.
When the new human first woke up, he punched Grace in the face and tried to run away. He didn’t speak for his first three days of being conscious. Not the best first impression.
Rocky, in the meantime, had one job. He was specifically tasked with building this new human a place to stay. Grace hadn’t made time for blueprints, too busy fumbling the situation that was his first real human in over fifteen years.
Grace didn’t realize ‘please build the new human a place to stay’ would be translated into ‘expand my home! the human will be living with me!’

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
So Ryland Grace will love Simon until the day he dies.
And Ryland Grace will love Simon in the next life, and the one after that, and all the ones after that.
And Ryland Grace will sit on an empty shore of a dead sea under a forgotten moon and watch Simon live a long, full life; loved and safe and happy and free, trails of ice crystals and moondust left in his wake as he chases the light of thousands of shining stars.
--
Three times Ryland Grace thought he was in love, and the one time when it was true.
