    Summary

    Ryland Grace is a coward. Always has been. He doesn't take risks, and his failed scientific career, failed friendships, and failed romantic life don't prove otherwise. But he saved Rocky, whether that be out of selflessness or the fear of being alone again. He took a risk.

    Grace is glum in the midst of waiting for Taumoeba-06 to evolve (any day now), burdened by loneliness and touch-starvation. Attentive Rocky notices this in Grace's demeanor and checks in on him. Grace confesses how much he misses physical contact and surprisingly discovers the feeling is mutual.

    Rocky engineers a solution. Something that will drastically change the course of their relationship.

    Or

    Rocky engineers a method for him and Grace to hug. This escalates to Rocky pleasuring Grace, a misunderstood confession of love (language barrier), regular physical contact (among other things), and reaching a mutual understanding of what their relationship means.

    Summary

    “Grace consider dating on Erid question?” Rocky asks in a tone I can’t decipher.

    “What’s with the sudden interest in this topic?” I reply in lieu of answering.

    “Grace avoid question question?”

    “I’m not avoiding anything, bud, I’m just wondering where all of this is coming from, that’s all.” And avoiding. Definitely avoiding.

    or, alternatively: rocky confesses and grace freaks out.

    Summary

    Rocky states his proposal as soon as Grace has one foot in the ladder, and Grace misses the next rung and almost cracks his head against the side of his bed in shock.

    There is no way Rocky had actually said what Grace thought he heard, just now. “You…you want to what? For science?!”

    Rocky tsks, like Grace has taken the implications way out of proportion. “Experiment,” he stresses. “Logical, methodical experiment. You make it sound… unreasonable.”

    Grace explodes. “Unreasonable! Unreasonable! You want to stick your hand up my ass!”
