Fics like The Wallpaper in my Heart (slowly, slowly peeling off)

Afterwards Rocky reassured me that it is pretty common for pebbles to earn their first nicks and cracks at that age. Their outer shell isn’t fully developed yet and not quite as hard as that of an adult. He proudly showed me various indents and hairline fractures on his own body, telling me about how he got them in his youth during adventures with his friends or just messing around. It’s a sign of growth, he told me. A sign of getting older and maturing. Not a big deal. Happens all the time. I believe him. Tori was in good spirits afterwards. Their crying was more because of the shock and the scare, not any actual pain. We finished the rest of the day without any further incidents and then I wished them all a happy holiday and returned to my home and got into bed. Where I stayed for the next eighteen hours. ************* There is an accident in the classroom. Everyone tells Grace that it's not a big deal. But then why can't he stop thinking about it?
