It's been quite some time since Simone settled into the dome on Erid, after Rocky and some other Eridian scientists had found her trapped in one of the unexplored moons nearby. The healing process was undoubtedly⦠gruelling to say the least. For both Grace and Simone. The distrust, the fear⦠it all took a while to work through.
But now, months later, it was safe to say the two grew.. a tad co-dependent on each other. In the current moment, Simone sat curled into a ball, knees to her chest next to Grace, as the two watched a musical on her laptop. Specifically, Cats the Musical. Now to anyone who knew Grace, including her students back on Earth, she was a huge musical nerd. From Newsies and Cats to Hadestown and Hamilton, she loved them all. Of course she had to introduce Simone to the wonderful world of song and dance!
Despite them sitting together to watch the musical, Grace caught herself glancing over to Simone's face from time to time. Her silky black hair looked so much healthier than when they first met, and her face looked fuller, no longer malnourished. Grace's blue eyes remained on Simone's face a beat longer before catching herself and glancing back at the computer screen. This is what moments have slowly morphed into, stolen glances and quickened heart beats; Grace honestly had no idea what the h-e- double hockey stick had gotten into her. She wasn't stupid, she recognised the signs (or so she assumed?) of some sort of romantic attraction. That still didn't make it any less strangeā this had literally never happened before!
Okay, maybe not never. But not in a very, very long time. And also not with, well, a woman-! A voice quickly snapped Grace out of her thoughts, blinking as she looked back up at Simone, who was frowning between Grace and the screen.
"Grace⦠what am I watching?" Confusion was evident in her voice as Memory plays through the speakers. Grace smiles in return, pushing away the blush that threatened to bloom at the attention received from Simone.
"It's my favourite song." she replies, looking back at the scene. "I always wanted to play Grizabella in high school." Simone stares at the nostalgic look on Grace's face for a second, before replying.
"Did you ever get the role?" She asks, holding Grace's gaze steadily as she looked back. The blonde shook her head, a regretful smile on her face. "No, but hey, that only gave me more time to study all the fun stuffā and get extra credit."
Simone pulled a face that Grace swore meant to say 'nerd', but she kept any comments to herself, going back to watch the musical. As the clip played on, Simone slowly inched closer to Grace, until their shoulders brushed. While this wasn't the first intentional touch they've shared, it didn't stop Grace's cheeks from blossoming pink, thoughts racing even faster than before. After spending a year on Erid with no human contact, and more so on the Hail Mary⦠the touches were very, very, welcome. With a burst of confidence, fuelled by the want to be closer to another human body, the blonde rests her arm gently over Simone's shoulders, careful not to make her uncomfortable.
Simone, on the other hand, just rest her head on the shoulder beside her, making a content noise that if Grace didn't know any better, was akin to purring.
Grace could get used to this.
