Fics like PHM: Return

Rocky clicks nervously, swaying and tapping the ground in a tight rhythm. He stands next to the xenonite barrier overlooking Grace's medical area, but most of his attention is across the lobby, on the space elevator door and its approaching platform. When the door opens Adrian explodes into the room; Rocky's name and every nickname they've ever given him repeating and overlapping within their desperate song. Rocky hesitates for a single hearts-beat before barrelling toward them, warbling broken notes as his vents catch and strain. The two crash hard and loud. Several scientists and doctors jump then click at them to check they haven't cracked their carapaces. Rocky and Adrian cling to each other, deaf to the world as they entwine limbs and rasp claws over one another. They twitter, exchanging frantic messages of love and longing, trilling out relief painful and raw.
