   Summary

   “This okay?” Simon muttered, the vibrations from his words rippling across Grace’s stomach.

   “Yes… yes I just…” Grace struggled to catch his breath. “This was not how I was expecting tonight to go.”

   Simon paused his kisses. “How did you see this going?”

   “I don’t know. We would… talk about it?”

   “Do you want to talk instead?”

   Grace couldn’t even remember what he wanted to say. Actually, there were no words that described what he wanted. “No. No, keep going.”
   -----
   Or Eridians find Simon's submarine while spreading Astrophage to the galaxy and bring him back to Erid. Grace has to change his normal routine to help this new human adjust to life. Slowly, they get to know one another, despite Simon potentially being a war criminal from a moon with an ocean full of blood. But there's just something else about Simon that Grace can't shake, and he's pretty sure Simon feels it too...
