When You Look at Dr. Grace

When You Look at Dr. Grace

grace instinctively grabbing rocky when he sees what happened and burning the palms of his hands on his carapace

grace calling rocky a “crazy bastard” for saving him

grace also burning himself all over his arms while trying to get rocky onto his back to carry him

grace carrying rocky’s body UP A LADDER

grace wondering incredulously why rocky would risk his life to save him, about 2.5 seconds before grace risks his own life to put rocky back in his atmosphere

grace taking off his IV and oxygen mask as soon as he regains consciousness to be able to sit as close to rocky as possible

grace pressing his hand to the wall that rocky’s body is leaning against and then pulling it away because it “feels too melodramatic”

grace checking on rocky about 100 times

“I want to sleep, but Rocky is more important”

grace DIYing a leafblower to try to help rocky heal

it was end of day - teachers stay late. kids have afterschool activities. Stratt and Carl are not familiar faces, which would have every adults head on a swivel who worked in a school. people would notice.

Avoids the faculty room like the plague

His classroom is NOT organized, there is shit everywhere - but he knows exactly where everything is

Goes out for lunch every day to eat his sad little sandwich on a bench in the sun

his prep is a lunch period so kids are ALWAYS in his room while hes trying to like grace and do other shit

Gets to work pretty early to prep for the day but leaves the moment the EOD bell rings which gets looks from other teachers

will speak up at faculty meetings - he never has a problem being an informative bitch at a faculty meeting and everyone loves and hates him for it

will always raise his hand to go on stage when they ask for teacher volunteers at an assembly

his do nows all have to do with relevant and contemporary research that he himself is interested in and keeps tabs on

he always 'forgets' to take attendance so he can have kids who need a break from sitting to bring it down to the office

his coworkers are convinced he's gay because he doesn't talk about his personal life and has no kids and teachers are gossip junkies

he only makes administrators who come in and have no idea how schools actually run use his Dr. title, everyone else can call him Mr.

He gets stuck with teaching health so he treats the human body and all that it does like its alien and the kids go nuts for it
