Grace Sleep, Rocky Watch by KawaiiSpaghetti

Summary
The alien—Grace—is finally asleep. Or, at least, Rocky thinks he is. He’s curled on his side, tucked away under a covering. Rocky sits on the other side of the alcove the human lies in, fiddling away with one of his many repair projects. Typically, watching another as they sleep is fairly straightforward and uneventful. Not much is needed beyond something to do and to keep a lookout for whoever’s resting.
But Rocky can’t help but focus more on Grace as he rests. He just can’t; the way the human sleeps is, quite literally, otherworldly.

Summary
Rocky drops his tools, making Grace jump. “Nightmare? Grace had nightmare?”
He sounds panicked. Grace hurries to reassure him. “No, no, not a nightmare. Just a…just a dream.”
“Just dream?”
Grace sighs. He wrings his hands and sniffles. “We were…on a beach. Together. Sharing the same atmosphere. Safe and…and happy. You asked me about the constellations.”
“Rocky no understand,” Rocky says. “Sound like good dream. Why Grace sad, question?”

Summary
“You sleep, I’ll watch.”
We both know that they are not going to sleep. We both know that the moment they go still, they will be dead. And I will be alone. But I won’t say that, and they won’t say that, even if it’s the truth.
“You…save Erid,” they say.
Not a question.
I will be the last Eridian on our ship. I will be the last hope.
Or I will die. Just like every other Eridian has died here, and will eventually die on Erid, because we failed.
I shift low, close to where my last friend lays. “You sleep, I will watch,” I tell them again.
And they go to sleep.
And they never wake up again.
Rocky loses everyone on his crew.
Years later, he meets an alien.
