    Summary

    The engineer takes my hand. His skin runs hot. Very hot. He doesn't let go at what I would gauge as a socially-acceptable handshake time interval. Are we just holding hands in the middle of the lab-workshop space? Guess we are.

    "I'm Rocky," he finally introduces himself. He has a hint of an accent, something lilting, melodic. I can't really place it.

    "Rocky," I repeat, slowly. "Like the movies?"

    "No," Rocky deadpans, giving me a look like I'm stupid. "Like the rocks."

    “Hold still, lovely alien,” the Eridian croons, snapping a claw closed around the hem of my cardigan. “♫♬♩ will be so gentle, yes.”

    Summary

    Grace is put on cleaning duty and gets a mysterious fourth bag of vodka for his troubles.

    Rocky begrudgingly takes on the role of Designated Driver slash Space Blob Supervisor, and receives a different kind of gift in return.


    “Grace. What are you doing?”

    Grace's mouth, still smushed against my xenonite, curves upward: Contentment, happiness, satisfaction. Interesting, that it should be prone to smiling when made stupid by ethanol, but not so much when it gets stupid because of a lack of sleep.

    “‘s called a kiss, buddy. I‘m givin’ you. A kiss. ‘cause you're my best friend annnnd I like you. And y’nno what, you're actually pretty nice. When you’re not goin’ outta your way to be mean to me, that is.”

    Summary

    “What exactly does ‘offering a secret’ entail?” He asks you, carefully. How fascinating he is, that he trusts you enough but also not enough.

    You could delve into his head and eat him up.

    You don’t, because you don’t want to even though you do want to. You hate contradictions. You ignore that your existence is a contradiction in of itself and that you are being a hypocrite.

    Tell me what none other has heard of before.

    Won’t take it away.

    He considers for a moment, before he slowly opens his mouth.

    “Okay. But it’s a secret, so you can’t tell anyone else.” He says, resolutely.

    Or: Kim Soleum wanders into an empty building. The only other being in said building offers him its company.

    Summary

    “It feels like death,” Kim Dokja tells him.

    He isn’t even looking at Jaehwan, staring straight ahead. Kim Dokja, he’s realized, doesn’t often make eye contact. He comes and goes, as if invisible, as if he has never wanted to be where he is.

    “What does?” Jaehwan asks.

    “When you finish a book. It feels like death.”

    “It does.”

    Kim Dokja pauses, glancing in his direction. “I didn’t think you’d agree.”

     

    /

     

    In another world, Jaehwan meets Kim Dokja on a train, and they learn to read together.
