Fics like Side By Side With A Friend

"I’m never going to be touched again. There’s something so brutal about the sheer simplicity of the fact. There’s nothing complicated about it. I’m not going home, and Rocky and I have incompatible atmospheres. Simple as that. Nothing to be done." -- En route to Erid, Ryland gets extremely touch-starved and tries to hide it. Rocky is concerned and wants to help. Breakdowns and miscommunications ensue.
