Summary
“It's a series of four high pitched chirps and ‘meep’ sounds that I recognise as ‘Love.’ He's just repeating it, over and over, sometimes with his anticlimactic, little ‘Grace’ beep interspersed here and there. The laptop doesn't pick it up, he's so fast, but I could never mistake it. It's one word, a dozen times. It never gets less meaningful.”
The fact that Grace and Rocky don't cuddle at least once is a travesty that Rocky will not stand for at all, even if it means having to witness his stupid friend leak everywhere. I wholeheartedly agree.

“Love, love, love, love, Grace-love, love, love,”
“I love you too, Rock. Love, love, love.”
I mumble, sleepy and struck by just how happy I could be. I hadn't known all this time. From where I'm flopped on the ground, I can't really lift myself to press my face against his suit, but that's what I want to do more than anything. I don't really understand how I've got to this point (or I do, in a linear sense, but it's all a blur), but I'm in outer space, stupid-trillion miles away from home, and there's an alien on my chest. I love him so much that my heart hurts with it, threatening at my lungs and pounding at my ribs. I love him so much that my eyes cloud and my throat stings, but when I go to wipe my face, there's no banter, or slight interspecies micro-aggression. Rocky doesn't call me leaky. In fact, he's almost completely still, carapace vibrating softly in that familiar way which lets me know that the big lump has drifted off.
He's fallen asleep. On me. Weighing a bajillion tons. I already know the resigned sigh that comes out of me before I think about releasing it, because I'll always watch Rocky sleep for him, whenever. Problem is, even if there is danger, we're both boned — because I'm well and truly stuck.
