Grace gets frustrated with a tool or something and tosses it to the side as he does. And Simon picks it up and mutters an apology on Grace's behalf under his breath. Cut to Grace absolutely breaking down to Rocky later, taking off his glasses as tears stream down his face bc, "he apologized to the tool, Rock. I threw it and he felt the need to apologize. On my behalf." Him feeling a bit like an asshole for throwing a fit

Like yes bro grace IS aroace bro you're right I agree. Oh but lemme grab a slice of that bloodymary slowburn touch starved qpr fic too YUMMYYY. You're telling me they got grace and Simon banging nasty style over there? CUT ME A SLICE BRO

Yes & no by Natalie wee

Bc rocky can hear fucking everything, right? As Grace says, privacy is at a premium. But there would certainly be things that the two of them want to talk about without Rocky overhearing. And obviously a lot of that is probably when Rocky is asleep, so they don't need to worry about being overheard, but WALK WITH ME.

Grace scribbling something down on a piece of paper and sliding it over to Simon. Simon looking at it for a minute before writing something else and sliding it back. Rocky watches this go on for a few minutes before he goes, "What doing, question? Talking without Rocky, question? Talk about what, question?" Him getting annoyed and a tiny bit petty about it bc new human is STEALING his Friend Grace >:( and they are talking in SECRECY

Headcanon where Grace used to paint his nails during his time as a teacher, but stopped when he went back to work in the lab. Stratt sent a couple of bottles up with the Mary bc she remembered that.

Now make it bloodymary. Simon asks what the colors on Grace's nails are (bc I CANNOT imagine that nail polish would have survived the quiet rapture let's be so fucking real), and Grace explains that it's just a small, silly way that people back on earth express themselves. Simon asks Grace if he can have his nails painted too. Grace is excited about the idea and agrees quickly, dropping everything to go find the bottles.

I'm never going to shut up about this btw

That eye is almost as obvious as mine and that makes me so fucking emotional. This is their big heroic scene, they've done it and they saved stars and they're both okay. And Ryan's lazy eye is so so noticeable. They did it and he looks like me. He saved TWO worlds and he did it with the same disability that I've been bullied and ostracized relentlessly for.

And THATS why this movie is so special to me. On top of it just generally being a cinematic masterpiece, the main character has my disability. Usually we're portrayed as stupid, as insane, as cooky. But he's the smartest person in the whole fucking universe here.

What about Simon studying Grace? What about Simon tracing Grace's muscles with gentle fingers, idly rubbing circles over Grace's knuckles and wrists. What about Simon watching Grace move about the lab with an almost analytical gaze, taking in every breath, every minute detail. What about Simon taking comfort in being able to watch a completely normal, unmutated human. I'd imagine that he probably didn't spend much time in the presence of other people after childhood, and even then, they were all so wrapped in clothing to stave off the freezing cold of Eden. Not that Simon would have cared to take note of other people. But now? They don't need to wear quite so many layers, and Grace certainly has a preference for short sleeves. And goddamn, if Simon isn't a weak man for the curve of muscle that those stupid graphic tees show off
