They just started Star Trek.

Rocky spends a lot of his time around Grace and Simon, so he notices that Simon seems to sleep more than Grace on average. He knows more than the average eridian about human and human behavior, but he isn’t sure about that part…

He starts keeping track of Simon more frequently while he’s over spending time with Grace.

If he hears Simon drift off, he speaks quieter.

He does bring it up to Grace. “Oh, yeah, I know. Some humans are just like that. Dw, he’s not in danger. I keep an eye out for him.”

Rocky talks to Adrian about this because people falling asleep so suddenly outside of when they need to makes him UNBELIEVABLY anxious. His former crew all died just falling asleep one day. What if Simon just doesn’t wake up????

Adrian takes this information and researches. They decide to do a sleep study on Simon. Without his consent or knowledge.

What? Grace is usually fine with that.

Adrian sticks around for an entire day and just, sooooo subtly, keeps track of Simon’s sleepiness.

They take note of how often Simon dozes off, how often he naps, how he’ll talk to himself, hum to himself, fiddle with things, exercise, anything to wake up.

Simon has woken up from many naps to Adrian sitting right there in front of him. Terrifying to him that he didn’t hear them at all.

That fucks up the study a bit cause now Simon is on edge and very awake. He’s very aware of the two rocks following him around now. They aren’t being subtle anymore.

“The fuck you want with me!??”

“Simon sleep too much!! Unpredictable!!! Must follow to make sure it is watched and safe.”

Grace the thinks it’s very funny and Simon is pissed about it. So fucking pissed that he’s being studied like that.

Yet he still falls asleep and wakes up to Rocky, Adrian, and Grace watching over him. Guess this is his life now.

Everyone watches over him now. Freaks him out at first, but then it becomes a bit of a comfort.

The most fun is when he falls asleep during one of Grace’s classes and wakes up to Grace trying to convince a bunch of little pebbles to go home, they don’t need to watch Mr. Simon sleep all the time.
