    Summary

    "You have no idea what you're asking for," Rocky snarls as he watches Grace slowly start to crawl back. There's a small pool of liquid forming beneath him and Rocky wants to eat him alive.

    "Yes, I do," Grace whines breathlessly. "Please, Rocky. Please, alpha."

    Rocky inhales sharply.

    "Run," he says.

    "W... What?"

    "I said run," Rocky growls.

    Grace squeals and takes off.

    Rocky gives chase.

    ***

    Grace is an excellent scientist, no matter what his colleagues back on Erid might have said once.

    As such, he knows that with the right methods and experimentation, he can convince Rocky that they belong together.

    He's desperate for it.

    Summary

    You are profoundly alone. You have been for a while. Suddenly, you aren't anymore, and you are struggling to be normal about it. Pooling strengths and weaknesses with the strange creature on its explosive-atmosphere ship might just be the only way to save both of your stars, but it might also lead to more than just strictly scientific discoveries, and neither of you are sure how to feel about that.

    Summary

    If Rocky propositions him during the workday, he makes no such attempt at a performance—or, as Rocky likes to call it, courtship.

    After they determine this is indeed the word Rocky’s using, Grace snorts. “No. Courtship is, like, old-fashioned dating. Very formal old-fashioned dating.”

    “No, no.” Rocky gestures to what he gave Grace. “Is courtship. Trust.”

    “I don’t know what this is, but it’s not courtship!” Grace holds up the honest-to-God padded handcuffs Rocky made for him. They jingle a little. “Explain how this is old-fashioned to you. Quickly.”

    Summary

    “Don’t have to face any specific direction to talk to you, Grace,” Rocky says. “Am radially symmetrical. Hearing organs on whole body. Grace biologist, should know this.”

    I suddenly regret teaching him literally anything about biology. Some things more than others.

    “Figure of speech,” I say. That’s so not the point. “Listen, is this about the other day? Because we can pretend it never happened, if it’s making you uncomfortable.”

    Rocky skids to a stop. He slowly backs up a few paces, and now I can tell he is actually focusing on me, even though it doesn’t really matter which facet of his body is pointed in my direction, due to the aforementioned radial symmetry.

    “Not uncomfortable,” Rocky says. “Interesting display of human culture and biology. Grace very kind to share with me."
