I know, everyone knows that Adrian is like the most gorgeous eridian in existence, and that somehow Rocky got them to accept to by his mate. We think, small little freak nerd eridian, used powers beyond his comprehension and got the love of this beautiful, capable and big eridian. However, I have a new take; Adrian was interested in Rocky first, but lets think Rocky that it was he who made the first move.
I believe that Adrian look the little nerd that Rocky was and they were like "Yep, that is the one" and then tried to flirt with him, but notice that Rocky was wired different. It didn't matter how much Adrian tried, Rocky didn't seem to notice their straight efforts; their sweet words, their little implications, not even the sexy poses worked (they try that a lot, they know how good-looking they are,okay? and there is nothing bad in taking advantage of that) always ending in conversations about the different things they could do with xenonite. And Adrian loves when Rocky talks so passionately even if they have no idea what they are saying half of the time, but they are trying to get to something else here.
In a changes of strategies Adrian, decides to be very subtle, leaving little clues and comments, here and there, and then Rocky starts thinking that the one with the idea of getting together is him.
Adrian would be the most happy eridian when Rocky ask him out for the first time (I picture both of them dancing too eridian music, but that is me), but they try to pretend a little of surprise, because they don't want Rocky to feel bad about not noticing they previous efforts. Rocky have hard time reading others sometimes and Adrian doesn't want to make him feel worse about it. So when they get together, Adrian lets Rocky say that he was the one to do the first move. Adrian doesn't mind, I mean, they won, so who cares?
Then, when Rocky tells his story with Adrian to Grace. He notices that in some of those memories, Adrian was clearly flirting, but for the way Rocky tells it, Grace knows that he didn't notice (Grace is oblivious about the flirt directed to him -CoughcoughLokkencoughcough-, but he really think he has a six sense for this things, he doesn't, it is just that Rocky and him are equally bad in this things), so curious he question Rocky how he new he liked Adrian in that way and Rocky says something like:
Rocky: "Oh, I just loved talking to them even then, you know, question? We would talk about xenonite for days and I would not even notice."
Grace: "I thought that Adrian was a zoologist."
Rocky: "Yes, they are, statement."
Grace: "Then what would they know about xenonite?"
Rocky: "Oh, they didn't speak a lot, I did the more conversation, but they were... always listening to me, like...like I was important even back then."
And Grace knows, he knows that Adrian was the first to fall and the first to make a move, and when they got to Erid, Grace asks them to confirm their suspicions. Adrian put him apart and in an intimidating voice they say: "That stays between you and I, got it, question? Rocky never knows, statement."
And they never touch the topic ever again, while Rocky is a happy ignorant.
