    Summary

    Three times Ryland Grace being sick is met with indifference + one time a sentient rock takes it very seriously.

    ~

    “Hi,” he says, trying out the word. He sounds snotty and sleepy. “Sorry to bother you. I think… I-I think someone el-else needs to watch my group.”

    There’s silence on the other end.

    “Why?” is all that comes next.

    Inconvenience.

    He’s always an inconvenience.

    Ryland sucks in a deep breath that leaves him coughing. “I don’t feel… I d-don’t feel very well, and… I t-threw up, and I…”

    His voice gives out before he can finish.

    Summary

    “Grace taking long time. Grace okay, question? Need help, question?”

    Of all things Grace didn’t want, he especially didn’t want Rocky’s help.

    “Nope! You don’t need to help–I’m just…” He held his glasses up to inspect them. Well, at least Grace tried to inspect them, but he couldn’t freaking see. “I’m just cleaning up a bit before bed.”

    It wasn’t a complete lie. He had been intending to clean up.

    Grace moved his glasses between his fingers, feeling over what he knew was shattered glass. Great. Perfect.

     

    (Grace breaks his one and only pair of glasses. Naturally, he doesn't tell Rocky this very important information.)

    Summary

    Ilya doesn’t even realize when Arthur slips from his thoughts. There’s no sharp turn, no clear moment where the article stops being about a little boy who loves reptiles and starts being about the man lying beside him in bed. It just… happens. The way his mind always seems to find Shane eventually, like water finding its lowest point.

    Summary

    Mother's Day has always been difficult for Grace. Anything to do with mothers has been difficult since losing her. Having forgotten her when he woke up in space doesn't make it any better. It only means he has to cycle through every terrible memory again.

    -

    Rocky stomps one of his limbs. "No. Rocky want to know about Grace parent."

    "Fine, fine. When you go back to Erid and they ask why you're a Grace expert and not a human expert, don't come crying to me. My parents were... Let's see..." Grace frowns. His chest lights up with a strange warmth when he thinks of them, a gentle joy with dread creeping around the corners like a cozy Sunday night with the week looming ahead. He knows he loved them and that he was loved in return. Everything else, though, draws a blank. Grace's shoulders slump. "I don't remember. Sorry, Rocky."
