    Summary

    Rocky emerges, and his body language alone is enough to get me going. I struggle around my laugh, clamping my hand over my mouth. He waits patiently for me to gather myself.

    “Eridians are gay,” he declares. “I escape closet for all of them.”

    I fail. I tuck my glasses into the collar of my shirt so I can put my head in my hands, wiping tears as they come.

    “Rocky,” I say between giggles, “Rocky, I don’t think—I don’t think you can apply human sexuality to Eridians.”

    Something in him shifts, then. He perks to attention from his relaxed state, and though he has no eyes or facial features, I swear I can feel his gaze narrow on me.

    “I also read about gay rights,” he says slowly, warily. “Read that gay humans are hated some places. Bad.” He comes closer, looking up at me with all the accusation his flat face can muster. “You hate gay, question?”

    Or: Rocky learns about another human custom, and as always, he makes it Grace's problem.

    Summary

    Grace and Rocky know who they are. They know how they feel about each other. Too bad literally no one else gets it at all. Like, at all.

    OR

    “It’s platonic!” I blurted out, spreading my arms out wide to interrupt Adrian’s interrogation of my best friend. “We’re platonic songmates! Completely friendly, no romance, no mating. You have nothing to worry about! You’re still his mate!! Not me, never me!!”

    “Impossible,” they said.
