    Summary

    “You trust me?”

     

    “I… yeah. Of course.”

     

    Rocky stopped working, not because he needed to in order to carry on the conversation, but to make sure I was sure he was giving me his full attention. He was thoughtful like that. His carapace tilted up. “Rocky fix beetles, send to Erid.  Then Rocky and Grace go to Earth. Grace will live. Grace see sibling again. Rocky promise. Rocky fix. Grace trust.”

    Summary

    "Hey...can I ask you something kind of weird?"

    "Shoot," Rocky says, his voice sounding amused. "But not actually shoot."

    Grace wants to laugh at the joke (he's been getting better at joking and sarcasm) but instead he swallows, his fingers tracing idle patterns on the blanket. The ache from earlier at the classroom, the beach, the constant invisible wall feels closer tonight.

    "What does it feel like... to touch you?" he asks. "I mean, if we could. Your carapace. Your claws. What would it feel like to me?"

    Rocky is quiet for a long beat. When he sings again, his melody is thoughtful and gentle.

    "Hard. Rocky, like name. Like...strong stone that is alive. My claws are sharp but careful. My body pulses a little when I am happy. Like singing Grace can feel instead of hear." He pauses, then adds with a soft, almost shy trill, "What does human skin feel like, question? To me, I wonder."

    He imagines it.

    In his mind, the xenonite shell vanishes.

    Or: Grace is touch starved and Rocky wants to make it better

    Rocky needs help with releasing some dominant energy, Grace helps... he thinks. If being pitiful and humping Rocky's leg is helpful, of course.
