A hand patted the top of Rocky’s suit, hop jumping to say it was okay. “It’s all good. Turned out well. I hit new snacks. And you know, got to have a conversation with the woman who’s been dodging my calls.”

Ryland Grace @spacemuscles.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

“It’s fine, Winnifred brought me real burgers.” “And treats for the kittens. She’s through with them now.” A glance towards the intact door separating them. “Some kids get hyper on sugary you get hyper on salami and cheese.”

000

Ryland Grace @spacemuscles.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

He drew in a breath. “She knows a lot without context for most of it.” Trying to be diplomatic. “Next time just ask me instead of running in and stealing my me-burgers.” “And then passing out.”

000

Ryland Grace @spacemuscles.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

“I mean now. You took what Winnifred said and decided to act on it, without double checking that what she said was accurate?” He had to keep his voice down so Winnifred didn’t hear him and get offended. “We need to have a conversation about this sort of thing.”

Ryland Grace @spacemuscles.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

“So. You’ve taken my burgers from me.” “Without even asking the SCIENTIST what prions are.” Arms crossed, foot tapping, best teacher voice.

He’s been watching the sleeping Eridian. While fixing his door. And trying to make things right by the woman he knocked up in a dream. (He also ate a butt-load of cheese)

Ryland Grace @spacemuscles.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

‼️ “….” ‼️ “What the what?!” The kittens bolt under furniture and up their cat tree. Hissing and spitting at the fright! “MY DOOR!”

Ryland Grace @spacemuscles.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

You know what? It’s not a bad thing. Not a bad thing. “So did you bring any hamburgers?” “Chicken burger in a crispy coating?” “Five Guys?!”

000

Ryland Grace @spacemuscles.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

“Can’t die if I have cheese and salami. And maybe some crackers?” “And wine?”

010

Ryland Grace @spacemuscles.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

“Yes to cheese and salami!” “Come on, please?” “I’ll be good.”

010

Ryland Grace @spacemuscles.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

“Bring me back some cheese.” He’s not stalking. He’s not jealous. Nuh-uh.

“You know if you feed him after midnight, he turns into a gremlin.”

Recording from the 4 years in space stuck with Grace. ((Grace is Ethan, Mark is Rocky. No I will not elaborate. They are unus anus.))

His sweater was getting wet and starting to smell like wet dog. He didn’t care. He was home. Exactly where he wanted to be. Eyes closed when he’d finished his singing, head tilted up. “I’ve missed hearing the rain hit the windows.”

000

Ryland Grace @spacemuscles.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Loudly. Happily. Jumping around like he knew how to dance. “I'm singin' in the rain Just singin' in the rain, What a glorious feeling, And I'm happy again!”

000

Ryland Grace @spacemuscles.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Good. They’d probably need a babysitter. If Winnie ever answered the dream thing however that worked. “We can sing in the rain!” There’s a whole song and dance. Grace had to pretend he had an umbrella, but he remembered most of the words, and started singing. -

Grace peered over at the name, wondering if Rocky had forgiven him yet for.. all that stuff. “She does seem to like rain.” His voice was soft, he wondered if he still had one of the rubbery suits to make into a raincoat. “I love it, Rock. I always loved Fall showers.”

000

Ryland Grace @spacemuscles.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

The first drops made him flinch in surprise, eyes blinking open. Grace looked upwards, raindrops falling on his eyelashes. Slowly he held his hands out, spinning in a slow circle to see the sky from all angles. “It’s.. rain. You made rain? How did you make it rain?” “This is amazing!”

000

Ryland Grace @spacemuscles.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

“Okay! Eyes closed!” There was a joke about the last time someone told him to close his eyes, but he didn’t make it. Instead he reached out a hand to grip the top of Rocky’s hamster suit. “Lead the way!”

000

Ryland Grace @spacemuscles.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

“Close my eyes?!” “We’ll put the door back on first, so the babies don’t get out.” And then he’ll close his eyes.

000

Ryland Grace @spacemuscles.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Chuckling, he gave the closest kitten a smooch and then grabbed his sweater to follow Rocky out. “It must be important!” Luckily he already had his shoes on. And was dressed.

000

Ryland Grace @spacemuscles.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

He’s in a rather compromising position at that moment. Perched on the edge of the sofa because there’s five kittens sleeping on it. A camera in his hands to snap as many photos as he can “Just because you made the door, doesn’t mean you can knock it down every day!” “Hello!”

000

Ryland Grace @spacemuscles.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

“Noooooo, no no no. You wanted to be human, you need to read up on that alone.” Gulps coffee before getting up tone very busy. Very, very busy.

Ryland Grace @spacemuscles.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

His hand lifts to his chin, brushing across the stubble. “Shaving makes me break out. Zits. You know? You’re lucky that you missed puberty.”

000

Ryland Grace @spacemuscles.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

“Yeah, you need to do some stretches and have a shower, maybe shave your face if you’re keeping it. Or not.” Being human was a bit of a pain at times.

000

Ryland Grace @spacemuscles.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Probably confused over there being two bipeds drinking coffee. “You need to get your back to crack.”

000

Ryland Grace @spacemuscles.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

“Did you dream?” Eridians didn’t dream, it was an honest question to ask whether Rocky had tapped into the part of the human brain where imagination came from. “Pictures while you slept.” Grace stayed standing to drink his own coffee while Armando wiggled. -

Ryland Grace @spacemuscles.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

“Good morning.” He grinned like he hadn’t meant to wake him up (he totally did) and nodded towards the cup. “Coffee. It’s magic.” Now to watch Rocky discover that human bodies always felt a little stiff in the morning. Particularly when they’d slept on a chair.

Ryland Grace @spacemuscles.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Placing the cup down on the table next to him. “Ahem…” Fake cough

000

Ryland Grace @spacemuscles.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Grace is too polite to point that out. He has made an extra cup of coffee though.

000

Ryland Grace @spacemuscles.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

“Well, she’s not, because there’s no bread.” “I miss bread.”

Ryland Grace @spacemuscles.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Always being bullied. Always. Stinky sock puppets it is “Oh herrlo, my names Dennis.” Terrible voice acting “Ooh, hellooo, I’m Deborah and I’m a girl sock! Do you want a sandwich?” Worse voice acting “Don’t be silly Deborah, there’s no bread! Harr harr harr harr!”

“Okay, okay!” “Puppet show!”

000

Ryland Grace @spacemuscles.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

“So now I need to put on a puppet show?” For the distraction of nothing else

010

Ryland Grace @spacemuscles.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

“You should watch The Muppets.”

000

Ryland Grace @spacemuscles.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

“No, do puppet show.” “Because he was laughing at me.”

010

Ryland Grace @spacemuscles.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

“Which is understandable right now!” It’s wedged in there. His toes are tickling his tonsils. He stumbled over his own thoughts and then tried to back peddle. “I don’t know what I’m saying right now. It’s like verbal diarrhoea. It just keeps coming.”

000

Ryland Grace @spacemuscles.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

“In my time, peeling the beer bottle label off was a sign of sexual frustration.” Why did he say that? Why did he fu— say that?! Gracescrewed his eyes shut, wishing he could rewind time and failing miserably at removing his foot from his mouth. “Or.. or or or just general frustration…” -

Ryland Grace @spacemuscles.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

“If you’re comfortable like that, stay like that. Unless you’re using it as a way to avoid Adrien.” Yeah, he was going to voice that thought. There was no hiding that sort of thing from Grace. Unless Grace was being particularly stupid that day. “I don’t think that.”

000

Ryland Grace @spacemuscles.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

“Yeah, I’ll stay. All night and all day and until you don’t need me anymore.” Hopefully that would be never. “But we need some snacks. You can eat them when I’m in the bathroom, but you need to er if you’re going to stay like that.” Human. He meant human. But it was too weird to say out loud.

000

Ryland Grace @spacemuscles.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

There was something else, about fairness. Rocky had been there for his breakdowns, Grace felt it was right that he himself should be there for his. Tissues were found. He finally let Rocky go after a manly squeeze. “Drink your beer, it’ll help. One will help. More than that won’t.”

000

Ryland Grace @spacemuscles.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

“Catharsis.” Grace murmured. “It’s cathartic to cry. Shifts the nervous system from a state of high stress, into something more relaxing.” He was muttering, spouting off something he’d read in New Scientist. Including the different crystals that tears form when shed in different emotional states.-

Ryland Grace @spacemuscles.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Nah, Grace is definitely stronger. And if this wasn’t a delicate moment, there would be arm wrestling and thumb wars. Hand on Rocky’s backs he’s patting him in the way he wanted to be patted when he was upset. “Let it out, it’s alright.”
