Fics like all the ways i say it, in a secret language

“Good good, now use welding tool to join.” He moves Grace’s wrist to position the rod so it turns farther outward. “Slow slow gentle,” he repeats. Grace is actually going to die. He stretches his finger, tugging the wires connecting the mechanisms, and clicks the fingertips together to create a spark. Rocky chitters cheerfully behind him. “Good good, Grace doing good.” Grace’s face is burning. Rocky’s body heat seeps into him; he’s running hot all over, but especially in his face. Rocky doesn’t comment on it yet, hopefully ascribing Grace’s fever-like state to his own body being a smelting furnace. He wets his dry lips again. “Thanks, bud, I think I’m getting the hang of it.” Grace sucks at flirting. But when he comes across Ghost (1990) while looking for something to watch for their movie night, he has a brilliant idea: to recreate the pottery wheel scene with Rocky. He asks Rocky to teach him to make xenonite sculptures using Eridian welding tools. Naturally, things escalate from there.
