Summary
“Would it help––should I bring my dinner in too?” Grace jokes, smiling in preparation for the absolute symphony of disgusted whistles he knows Rocky will produce at the thought of them doing something as depraved as sharing a meal. “I’ve been saving this week’s half packet of ramen for just such an occasion––”
[YES YES YES!] Rocky’s translator app suddenly blares from the laptop on the floor between them. [YES, ACCEPT ACCEPT ACCEPT! GRACE RAMEN ♪♫♪♫ WITH ROCKY, AFFIRMATIVE! GRACE ROCKY EAT ♪♫♪♫ MEAL TOGETHER AFFIRMATIVE YES YES AFFIRMATIVE NOW.]

or, a fic to answer the questions: What if you fell in love for the first time in your 40s, and it just so happened to be with your alien best bud who has five legs, no face, and is already married? And then what if you accidentally proposed marriage to said alien best bud without knowing, because while you may be Earth's best and brightest, you are also notoriously inexperienced and kinda stupid at close interpersonal relationships? What then?

Summary
"Rocky did not understand human names and titles when we met. Eridian names longer, give information on Eridian's home, associations, skills." For the first time in ages, he positioned two of his arms together, forming the design that Grace thought of like a family crest, a single design bisected.
"You should teach me to read those before we get to Erid, so I can be polite." As Grace considered the linework, already picking up on some vague ideas from the shapes in Rocky's carapace, something else occurred to him. "So… I picked 'Rocky' because your outer shell looks like stone."
"And for inspirational story of athlete who defeats human system of poverty to become great champion. Eye of the tiger."
"Retroactively, yeah." Grace bent at the hips, getting to Rocky's 'eye' level. "So what'd you name me?"

Summary
Funny, the things you forget. Like that aliens are supposed to be frightening.
Years of friendship had buried that instinct. Turns out it only takes being effortlessly pinned to a mat, a xenonite limb unspooling towards you with all the slow, sinuous elegance of a War of the Worlds tentacle, for it to come roaring back.
“Humans bond with their young by torturing them, question?”

Summary
It was an accident the first time.
(One could argue that it wasn't even an accident the first time. Grace could argue this, and he would argue this, probably questioning, how does someone masturbate accidentally??? To which Rocky would then point to Portable Earth Thinking Machine and bring up the many definitions of the very word accident—one being "lack of intention or necessity," which is what Rocky means in this particular case.)
…admittedly, it doesn't quite work. Rocky didn't start pleasuring himself accidentally after all—that was very intentional, as much as he'd hate to admit it, but he'd rather jump out of Mary's airlock than explain that to Grace.
So no, not quite an accident. Not exactly the word that fits this peculiar situation he's gotten himself into.
Rocky just didn't intend for it to go this far.

Summary
“Mr. Grace, do you have a girlfriend?” Aria called out, which resulted in a cascade of laughter and jeering. Grace, despite four years of practice, was blindsided by this blow and floundered to come up with a rejoinder.
“Uh,” He gurgled into the microphone, an idiot wearing three pairs of glasses, “No, I do not.”
Or: Middle School Science Teacher Ryland Grace accidentally falls in love.
