Summary
One of Rocky's claws trails up to my cheek and rests there. Palms splayed, delicate nerve endings pressed right against my noise; I cock my head back so he can move it to my pulsing carotid. The 'critical hit' spot on any human.
"Want what, bud?"
"Want to eat Grace's heart last."
OR: Grace and Rocky talk about the future. In a sense.

Summary
I love you, I want to say, impossibly. And I do, I do so much that it aches and it burrows and it festers right under my skin and between my diaphragm and my lungs and that spot Rocky would fit perfectly, and hey, how's that box looking, Ryland?
The same as it's always looked, which is to say it's looking like a damn flimsy mirage. I would take Rocky under my ribs, if I could. I would press him against my spinal cord to feel the touch and signal that I've never craved in this way from another person in my entire life.
ALTERNATE TITLE: Awake craniotomy, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and other inadvisable medical treatments that one Dr. Ryland Grace definitely doesn't have a craving for his best friend to perform on him.
