Summary
I remind myself that Rocky can see right through my boxers, right through me. He can track every pulse, every micro-tremor, every erratic spike of adrenaline. He knows my biology better than I do at this point.
My stomach goes belly-up with the knowledge, a giddy thrill. It is equal parts exhilarating and humiliating.
Here’s the thing: I know him too. I can perceive him in a way that is just as foreign to him as his sensory array is to me, through sight. No Eridian could do that. Gosh.
With that train of thought, it’s almost impossible to think that we weren’t made for each other. This is what I mean by technicalities—no, we can’t touch. Yes, we are completely different species from completely different corners of the galaxy, born under entirely different suns and breathing different atmospheres. But all of human and Eridian biology seems like a very long, very complicated setup for this exact moment.
