[DO NOT]

Cue Grace explaining friendship bracelets to Simon.

Simon’s not sure how their conversation got to that but apparently on earth you make bracelets for your best friend to signify that you’re best friends. They’re normally made from beads and cheap string with little charms in shapes like hearts and stars. Easy to break but they do look nice from what Grace has showed him.

So he decides to make one for Adrian.

He managed to find some smooth rocks and Rocky made him some paint and a small chain made from xenonite so the bracelet doesn’t burn in the outside atmosphere. He managed to drill a hole through the smooth rocks, paint some of the dark green and blue, pull the chain through, and wielded the end pieces together.

The next day as Simon and Adrian were talking in the green house, Adrian had their own little spot where they keep Eridian plants that would die in Simon’s atmosphere, when Simon shyly hands Adrian the friendship bracelet. Adrian is a bit confused at first until Simon tells them what it is and how he made it from materials that will hold up when they wear it.

Adrian starts crying so hard.

Simon is freaking out thinking that maybe he upset them in a way, like maybe this was offensive to Erdians, until Adrian just reassures him that they are very happy happy happy. They immediately put it on then start crying about how Simon was also considerate about how big they were and that the bracket also fits and that the both of them were best friends.

Adrian fucking flaunts the shit out of that bracelet.

‘Oh this? Just yknow, a bracelet my pebble made me to show that he loves me. Yeah it’s not a big deal or anything. Oh what’s that? You don’t have one? Couldn’t be me, my pebble loves me. Made it so it won’t burn in this atmosphere and everything. Yeah he put a ton of thought into it. Even has this odd shape on it called a star. Yeah I know that’s not what stars look like but he tried his best! It’s beautiful! You’re just jealous!’

Rocky then starts hounding Grace about wanting one.

Da goober.

I'm really curious if he's inheriting the mustache too from old man Salvador 😔😔

Do you think a monster is capable of fear? I think when he has something he loves, it starts to understand fear.

Wait!! It's not over!! There is still more! It'll just take longer to post them as I have yet to finish them so please be patient! Thank you for all the love you have shown this au and it's truly my pleasure to be making these stories! There will be joy in the Hail Mary!! Trust!

Whenever he thinks Simon isn't watching, Grace is there.

Doing some gardening? Grace is watching. Learning how to mend clothes creatively? Watching. Learning how to fix little things around the Hail Mary? Watching. Sleeping? WATCHING. Always while half working on his own stuff of course, he has things to do and he also needs a reasonable excuse for 'nono I'm busy here I don't know what you're talking about'.

Documenting his eating habits and his mutations and his injuries healing and at first it's just a good thing to keep track of but it eventually becomes a source of comfort to review all the pages and remember that Simon is HERE despite EVERYTHING.

And Grace KNOWS that this is kind of creepy he just can't really bring himself to CARE anymore. A solid 75% of his social rules have been broken apart by hanging out with an alien rock spider for 4 years he's not above a little indulgence in the presence of another human. And it's not like Rocky knows this isn't normal. Honestly Rocky is just happy to see his favorite human interacting with another human.

This is the first and ONLY human he has had contact with in YEARS. He is just a little obsessed. And it's just a little concerning. He gets better about it after they're on Erid (Simon's not leaving a planet. No way would he ever. Simon's staying. Statement.)
