    Summary

    “You're really fitting the bill if that’s what you wanted. What, you gonna probe me after this? For ‘science’?”

    “Unknown word: pervert,” Rocky breathed out, and Grace felt his stomach twist at the sound of it from the vocabulator. Rocky was stiff across from him, unmoving in observation, and Grace's glasses started to fog up. He looked like he was itching to move forward, his words more warbly than before. “…but can ‘probe’, if that would improve inspection.”

    Summary

    They're insistent that I will live to make it to Erid, to live with them and their people for the rest of my natural life. I trust them, and I truly believe that their magnificent, brilliant species will be capable of saving me. I believe Rocky could probably even find a way on their own, without any outside help, the little genius.

    Still.

    I can't help but sit, watching their tiny claws working deftly with their tiny engineering tools, listening to their quiet clicking noises, and know in my heart that I could die today and it would all be worth it. That I would die a happy, fulfilled woman, having loved and been loved by someone as special as Rocky. To finally feel as if I've found a home. Gosh, I'm lucky.

    "Heart rate increase detected. Doctor Grace, please confirm status."

    "Thanks, Mary, I'm fine," I groan.

    Summary

    The slightly cold atmosphere of the ship feels like it’s been bumped up ten degrees, and Grace tugs at the collar of his shirt as he tries to flee the conversation, Rocky’s ball tumbling through the corridors behind him.

    “Graa-aa-aa-ce.”

    A deep, trembling sigh escapes Grace as he turns around and kneels in front of the xenonite ball to be eye to eye – figuratively – with his friend.

    “Look, Rocky. I appreciate your enthusiasm. I do. But think about what you’re asking, man. I can’t let you vivisect me, for fudge’s sake.”

    ----------

    Or, Rocky is interested in learning about the inner workings of the human body, and Grace lets himself be his lab experiment. To no one's surprise, this deeply intimate interaction takes a turn.
