    Summary

    "Rocky doesn’t speak. This in and of itself is weird – he’s always talking, chittering to himself or singing a woeful song he thinks is too low for me to hear. It is, but I can feel the way the ship vibrates with the sound. Point is, although he’s often quiet, he’s never silent.
    “...You good there, Rock?”
    “Grace is baby!”"

    Or: Rocky and Grace talk about human mortality and lifespan a little bit on the way to Erid.

    Summary

    Rocky stands at the entrance of the dorm.

    “Grace ok, question?”

    “…no bud. I’m not.”

    “…” Rocky seems to want to step forward, thinks better of it, then shrinks away at the admission, the ball wobbling as he takes a step back. On the far edge of the bed. Grace takes stark notice of the berth and feels cold. His fingers pluck absentmindedly at the sideseams of his shirt. “Grace upset. At Rocky, question?”

    Grace doesn’t respond right away, letting the question sink in. Rocky doesn’t push, for which he can only thank tirelessly. He can’t let himself relish in the final moments he will ever hold Rocky’s respect, not when they are so tinged with tension. He clears his throat.

    “Let me tell you a story, ok? I think it might help.”

    Or

    There’s this thing about waves: the longer they lap at wet sand, the denser it gets. And Grace is choking on sand that’s been there for years.

    Summary

    Grace leak from eyes,” Rocky leaned closer, emitting a soft, rhythmic purr that echoed concern. “Heart beat fast. Bad, bad, bad. Grace okay, question?

    And Grace didn’t want to say anything. Wasn’t planning to. It was shameful. It was cowardly. It was pathetic. But—

    But—

    “I didn’t want to go, Rocky,” Grace wheezed out, the words spilling, tearing from his throat, jagged and bloody and ripping at the seams, and it hurt— “I didn’t volunteer. I-I didn’t want to be a hero.”

    Summary

    Erid had lost hope of the crew they sent to space ever returning. And then they spot a different ship coming towards them and a pebble talking to them over the radio about how they and Rocky found the solution to the star-killer problem. Chaos, of course, ensues.

    Aka. The Eridians assume Grace is a pebble.

    Summary

    In my thoughts, I recall that conversation about me being cute. Could I find Grace cute?

    I focus on Grace for a split moment.

    Then I went back towards my xenonite. Nah, full grown adult over there— despite being around 30 Earth years old, and if that were converted to Eridian math— that was very young. Pebbles could barely speak yet at that age. But this was an alien— a human we're talking about. Grown ass man.

    Or so Rocky thought.

    (5 times Rocky witnesses Grace acting like a pebble, and the 1 time Rocky acts like one himself. Featuring, a reunion between Rocky and Adrien!

    This work was inspired by multiple artworks on Tumblr. Rated teen for sailor mouth Rocky.)
