Fics like risks of prophylactic surgery before extended-duration spaceflight

“Hey, you’re the one who loves hearing my heartbeat.” Wait, nope, shouldn’t’ve said that. That definitely seems like too much, somehow. I feel my cheeks heating up. Rocky’s claws fidget against the xenonite. “Yes. I do. Is good sound,” he insists, more quietly than I’d expected. “Means you still alive." “Yeah.” I’m so alive right now that I can feel the pulse jumping in my throat. “That’s, um. That’s good.” In the back of my mind, a very cool and rational part of myself is telling me: hey, since you’re on the subject of internal organs, why not take this opportunity to ask Rocky to feel you up so he can check on your appendix/gallbladder situation? Unfortunately, the rest of my mind just heard ask Rocky to feel you up and had the psychic equivalent of a seizure.
