Summary
We bickered back and forth. Up until I said, "Sweet dreams, Rock."
You paused for a bit, then chittered curiously, "No understand word."
I had begun drifting off already, but that kept me awake for a bit longer. "Dreams? Hm…"
It only occurred to me then that I never told you just how much of a human's brain stayed active while they slept. The concept of memory consolidation and emotional processing during rest must be foreign to Eridians. I could've gone on a tangent about that alone. I could've told you about the parasympathetic nervous system and all the biological process that happen during REM sleep. I could've told you about the inner workings of my body, in a bid to get you to do the same.
But, with fatigue eating away at my cognitive functions and lowering my inhibitions, I bared my heart to you instead.
"It's like… another life that you live where crazy stuff happens, but it all makes sense." I muttered, raw and vulnerable. "Kinda like today."
I likened meeting you to a dream, and my only consolation is that I don't think you understood the significance of that.
Or: Grace struggles to put a name to his feelings for Rocky.
