Wholesome Grace and Rocky Headcanons:
Rocky learns the concept of “good morning” isn’t about time—it’s about care, and starts sending it whenever Grace wakes up, no matter the ship’s cycle.
Grace keeps a running list called “Things Rocky Made Better Without Trying,” and it gets updated way too often to stay serious.
Rocky figures out which of Grace’s jokes mean “I’m okay” and starts responding faster to those specifically.
Grace once says “good job, buddy,” and Rocky treats it like a formal achievement worth remembering forever.
During the four year trip to Erid, They both stop thinking of the ship as equipment and start thinking of it as something they’re taking care of together.
Grace starts saying “we did it” even when Rocky did 99% of the work, and Rocky never corrects him.
Grace starts labeling some of Rocky’s messages as “made my day,” even though Rocky doesn’t know what that means in measurable terms.
Rocky learns that repeating reassurance twice makes Grace visibly calmer, so he quietly builds that into his communication style.
While on Erid, Grace realizes Rocky always positions himself slightly between Grace and unfamiliar areas, not out of danger response anymore—but out of habit of care.
Grace starts resting a hand on Rocky’s suit shoulder while talking, like it’s the most natural punctuation in conversation.
Rocky learns that Grace’s silence is more comfortable when they are physically close, so he reduces distance whenever words fall silent.
