    Summary

    We're almost at Erid. I have to tell him before we get in range of whatever radio-equivalent they use. He deserves to know, to have the chance to tell everyone before I land. He should know I’m a coward before he convinces his planet to funnel all their resources into keeping me alive.

    I've thought it through so many times, in the years since I remembered.

    ‘Hey Rocky, I need to tell you something.’

    ‘Hey Rocky, you know how you always call us brave? Well…’

    ‘Hey Rocky so the actual reason I had amnesia when I met you was because I said no when they asked me to save my planet even though I was the only qualified candidate and they forced me to and I said if they sent me I'd kill everyone by sabotaging the mission so Stratt gave me some insane amnesia drug.’

    Not exactly a conversation anyone wants to have ever, let alone with their roommate in a ship with no escape. Not something anyone wants to hear from the person they're relying on to save their people, either.

    Summary

    Grace is always asking me about my mate. “What was he was like when he was young? How did you both meet? What does he act like when I’m not around?” Slightly invasive, personal questions, all of which I find myself answering without hesitation.

    I try to hold back my excitement. It becomes rather clear to me that “best friends” must mean something slightly different for humans.

    Summary

    “I guess, um,” I say, licking my lips as I stall. When did my mouth get so dry? “I don’t know why, don’t ask me why, but… you’re… obviously a lot stronger than me, and I guess that… activated some part of my brain that’s… into that, I guess.” I wring my hands, fussing with the arms of my jumpsuit tied around my waist- anything to avoid looking up at Rocky. “It’s just… been a long time since I’ve, uh. Mated with anyone, on Earth, and I think I’ve just been a bit- frustrated, so my body’s just reacting to whatever it can. Don't- don’t get me wrong, I know it probably doesn’t make a lot of sense, I mean- you could literally crush me if you wanted to, but- for some reason, I… I guess it was just… exciting. To me.” I finish lamely.

    Rocky stares at me, as much as a being with no eyes and 360 degrees of echolocation ability can stare. I am acutely aware that he can hear every beat of my heart, every hitched breath. He can probably sense the pinpricks of sweat that bead on my forehead. I swallow, my heart hammering in my chest at the silence.

    Rocky finally tilts his carapace ever so slightly. “You are aroused by strength in mate, question?”
