Fics like Famished

“Don’t hurt him! He’s just scared-” Simon throws himself at the creature, stabbing at the clear panels with the screwdriver. It dings off uselessly, until it doesn’t: one panel is a fine mesh of glass, and the shaft sinks into it. The creature is screaming, the man is screaming, a fist hits Simon square in the jaw. Suddenly the scientist is atop him, hands around his throat, face red with blood from his nose. “YOU WILL NOT HURT HIM!” the man shouts, and Simon goes still. The face above him, the soft face, the gentle, stuttering, awkward face has turned into a mask of burning fury and wet crimson. “YOU WILL NOT HURT ROCKY!” He leans in close. “I don't care if you’re the first human I’ve seen in years, if you hurt Rocky, I swear, I’LL THROW YOU OUT THE AIRLOCK MYSELF!” ~ Simon wakes up on a strangely new ship, in a strange world of stars, with a strangely gentle man and a rock alien who’s just strange in his own right. The two insist that they simply want to help, but Simon knows that life is not that kind. With him there, food is running out twice as fast. He’ll earn his keep, he has to. He’d rather climb into Grace’s bed than be put on Grace’s plate.
