  Summary

  Grace turns back to the experiment he was supposed to be doing, shaking his head as if to try an disperse the weird feeling from his body. He tucks the emotion to the back of his mind, put away until a later date- preferably when he was alone- to study and categorize and understand better.

  For now, he tries not to get distracted by the memory of Simon's laugh, and actually get some work done.

  Or: A demiromantic Ryland Grace character study.

  Summary

  But he thought that maybe his own brain was trying to trick him. Like a… "seven minutes," thing. You know that idea, that right before you die, your brain 'replays' your best memories, and you get flashes of everyone you've ever loved?

  Lord knows that Simon doesn't have a seven minutes. He barely has enough happy memories to fill out thirty seconds. So maybe, this kind-eyed scientist and this strange-but-sweet rock alien was his brain's way of filling that out, you know? Seven minutes of a kind universe, one where he gets rescued from his own personal hell-hole, one where he gets away and doesn't die in that iron death-trap.

  Or: Simon has a hard time believing any of this is real. (Who can blame him?)
