Fics like I'd wave my hand, reveal the stars

The engineer takes my hand. His skin runs hot. Very hot. He doesn't let go at what I would gauge as a socially-acceptable handshake time interval. Are we just holding hands in the middle of the lab-workshop space? Guess we are. "I'm Rocky," he finally introduces himself. He has a hint of an accent, something lilting, melodic. I can't really place it. "Rocky," I repeat, slowly. "Like the movies?" "No," Rocky deadpans, giving me a look like I'm stupid. "Like the rocks."
