   Summary

   “Grace and Simon mates now, question?”

   Rocky had dropped by in the morning, before Grace was going to his class. Grace almost spat out the poor excuse for coffee the Eridians had managed to synthesize after the real one ran out. Instead, he swallowed it wrong, and had a little coughing fit.

   “What? Why would you ask that?” Grace said after he recovered his voice.

   “Grace and Simon live together, do everything together, like mates,” Rocky said.

   “Ah. No buddy, we’re just friends. Like you and me. Like we lived together on the journey here.”

   “Grace and Simon sleep together,” Rocky added.

   Grace felt the tip of his ears heat up.

   “Um, yes. We sleep together. Only sleep.”

   Rocky couldn’t possibly know the double entendre in the phrase “sleeping together”, but still, Grace felt the need to clarify that.

   Grace and Simon started sharing a bed soon after they reached Erid. Holding Simon as he fell a asleep was the best way to keep nightmares at bay, ensuring Simon he was safe. It's just what friends do. Right?
