Someone's gotta write (or point me in the direction of) a bloodymary fic where Simon (once he realizes/accepts that he is actually safe now) gets really clingy and Grace is lowkey annoyed by it at first.
Not that I don't like touch starved Grace yearning for connection, I'm just basing this on when Rocky first came onto the Hail Mary. Like imagine Simon just following him around, not wanting to be alone now that he's around another person who's kind to him again (after being in prison for however long and, you know, being sent to die in a blood ocean) and meanwhile Grace is like hey, I'm glad you're not panicking anymore but can you let me work please. Just has to deal with the same shit all over again after Rocky's entrance but this time it's weird in a new and original way because this guy is human.
Also idk maybe Simon not just being around him but being kind of touchy as well, like using touch as a way to remind himself that this is actually real and Grace doesn't mind necessarily but after being isolated for so long (and not being super social even when he was around other humans) with the only other person around being unable to physically touch him it would probably be a lot.
I'd just like Grace to be a bit more irritated in these scenarios, like he's kind and soft but he's also a bitch. This is very important to me. And I think it'd be interesting to have him like struggling not to snap at Simon, especially over small things like these, cause he doesn't want to undo the progress they've made but he also needs his space and all that.
