    Summary

    Just as Grace tuned and headed to the dormitory, his foot banged into the nearest set of drawers. He let out a high-pitched yelp at the pain that shot through him.

    Worse, embarrassment shot through him. He had let the sound escape him in his surprise.

    Rocky startled at the noises. "Grace is okay, question?"

    Summary

    Grace knows there are certain elements of human culture Rocky won't ever understand and vice versa, but a three year journey in a small space allows a lot of time for new experiences and long explanations.

    Summary

    “Am I interrupting?” A voice cuts through the air.

    Jayce spins around, hand still to his chest. At first he doesn’t see anyone, and then, following the sound of a small puff of exertion, notices the thin figure who’s just slumped back against the wall, cast in the overhanging shadow of the roofline.

    “No.” Jayce hears the defensiveness in his own voice. Winces at his failure to be casual. “No, um… it’s fine.”

    “You don’t look fine,” says the figure against the wall, tilting his head to the side.

    “Thanks,” Jayce laughs humourlessly, stepping forward. The figure against the wall, now Jayce can see him a little better, looks kind of like a puppet whose strings have been cut, folding in on himself, deflated. “Neither do you.”

    “Mm, very perceptive,” he holds up a finger, then returns his hand to where it was previously wrapped around his side, as though he’s holding himself together. “That is, in fact, because I am not.”

    ---

    Jayce meets Viktor post-panic attack in the beer garden of the bar near campus. Viktor invites him back to his dorm. But despite their instant attraction, science takes precedence.
