Idea: when Grace and Rocky get to erid Rocky is very busy with taking care of Grace, getting things he needs and telling the scientists the fix to there dying sun so rocky doesn't have much time to actually see Adrian
Adrian pov: when I heard my mate was back I was overjoyed, I wasn't sure if I'd never see him again. I learned that everyone else on there ship died but him. I was so happy he's alive and safe but sad for our fellow eridians who died. He came back on a weird ship that wasn't his own, with a weird alien. Rocky help a thrum when they got here, quickly explaining the fix to our sun and then soon moving on to the topic of doing whatever we can to help this alien named Grace. Rocky and I met a few times in this period, short I love you's and caresses. But never too long, always with that alien. As the days passed more information got around about this alien. He was from the sol system, from a plant they called earth. They too saw that there sun was dying and that tau ceti wasn't affected. They sent off a pilot, and engineer, and a scientist. No one survived but the alien Grace who was there scientist. He was forced, but he still persisted and in that persistence even when pushed to his death helped us and brought my mate back home. He was very ill, weak, and I wasn't even sure he would make it. But my mate was very persistent that he would survive, that he would now live here, that we would do anything we could for one of our saviors. So he tasked me and a few others to build his "home". It went through a lot of trial and error making sure it had the right atmosphere so he could live in it, having to constantly make sure there was no issues. While I was doing this I still rarely got to see my mate. It hurt, but I knew he was in space alone for a long time, then met an alien who saved him and our whole planet. They were attached to each other. Slowly he got better and better, enough to move into his new home. He was still getting better but he was much better, that Rocky started to go host more thurm's about what had happened, what he had learned from his creature, and what it did for us. I was so very happy my mate met this thing. Finally my mate got time to actually talk to me and spend time with me after months of worrying. He was so unbelievably happy to see me, it made me so happy. He was so worried I would have gotten tired of waiting for me not knowing if I would even return. So worried that he would die in space alone not being able to see me. Oh my mate was so worried and through all of what he experienced was still thinking of me. I love him so much. I knew whatever relationship he and Grace had was fine. If it was platonic, or romantic, or even something in between I wouldn't care. He brought my mate home, my sweet sweet mate. We cuddled and talked about our worries and how he was so sorry for not coming to see me sooner but wanted to make sure Grace had everything he needed. He told me how he saved him, how he chose to not go back home to save him and all of Erid. How he thought he was going to die a slow and painful death. But they made it home. A few days later I got to accompany my mate to go meet "Grace". It was a very leaky squishy blob. But very friendly. I wasn't sure if I would like him at first but then I understood why my mate liked him. He was such a kind soul, worrying about everyone but himself, worrying if I was okay that he was stealing my time with my mate. I assured him I didn't mind and that he could talk to Rocky any time he needed. Later I asked my mate if he wanted savior Grace to be our mate. He nervously said yes but only if I was okay with it. I comforted him and said I would love too, he saved you and he is a very kind "human" and that I would be honored to have two mates. Soon we told savior Grace, and while he was confused at first and blood was rushing to his face (my mate told me it ment he was nervous) he gladly accepted being so happy that we would choose to love him even if he's a leaky space blob. We now cuddle every night, taking turns watching our mate sleep.
I apologize if this kinda sucks 😭 I had this thought last night and decided I'd write it in the morning and also I didn't really wanna go and correct any spelling or grammar mistakes because lowkey if I do I think I'll just end up thinking it's stupid and delete it so uhh- hope you like it? Lowkey kinda rushed my idea but I think you get the gist of it!
