Ten Boyfriends is Better Than One


Rowell jumped when they heard a crashing sound in the pine forest that surrounded their little home, momentarily splitting into ten from the fright of the noise. They reformed quickly, though, and wrote the noise off as an asteroid or space junk; things that commonly crashed on their home planet. They finished up what they were doing before heading out to investigate, long stilt legs getting them to the smoking crash site quickly.

"Oh!" There was loud beeping, and something that definitely did not look like space junk seemed to be the source of both the noise and smoke. Rowell knelt beside it, trying to see the control panel, before giving up and just pressing random buttons to see if any still worked.

Re: Ten Boyfriends is Better Than One


The pod that held Will hissed as it began to open, steam pouring from as it slowly revealed the frozen human. The pod beeped and whirred as it went about the processes to reawaken Will, and soon enough he was coughing and sputtering, breathing in deep lungfuls of air. He tried to look around, but his eyes were still adjusting and everything was just a blur at the moment.

"Wh-what..." He managed to murmur before coughing again. "Where am I..?" He felt like he was freezing, but also like the air around him was too warm, and he couldn't remember what happened the last time he was awake.

"You've crashed here, it looks like your pod was forcibly ejected from it's ship." Rowell explained once the steam cleared, easily picking Will up like he weighed nothing at all. Starting to walk away, the hivemind took the time to study the human in their arms.

"We are taking you to our home, the smoke here is too thick and could harm us. We are Rowell."

"We..? Ship..? I don't-" A sudden gasp had Will struggling in Rowell's arms until he managed to slip and fall from them. He stumbled as he tried to move away, but he only managed to fall as he didn't have full control over his coordination yet. "I remember, I remember.." He shook his head before burying it in his hands. "Lights brighter than anything I've seen, creatures with eyes so big they couldn't have been real, and yet they were." He was shaking a little. "Strapped down, they had medical tools, they.. they cut into me..." He shook his head and took in shaky breaths, panicking as he remembered what had happened to him.

"Please don't panic, you are safe now. Our people are peaceful, we won't hurt you." Rowell tried to soothe, not used to speaking to someone not part of the hivemind. They knelt beside Will, rubbing his back and making worried chirping noises. "Are you hurt? Do you need bandaging?"

"I-I don't know.." Will gasped, trying to calm his breathing. His shaking slowly reduced to simple shivering, and he tried to blink to clear his eyes. "I-I'm really cold a-and my vision is blurry.." He said, closing his eyes after a moment. "I-Is this Earth?" He asked, calm enough that he looked like he wouldn't panic and flail out of Rowell's arms again.

"No, apologies." Rowell hummed and picked Will up again, bundling the human against their body to keep them warm before beginning the short hike home once again. "This is our home planet, Phin. We are a month's travel from Sol, the star your planet orbits."

Will pressed his face into Rowell's chestand clutched at him lightly with his hands. He was confused about what Rowell meant by 'we' and 'our' but just went along with that. "..Wonder how long I was out for... Home is so far away now..." He said with a sigh. "Oh, um, I'm Will, by the way."

"We are pleased to meet you, Will; we hope you find our home comfortable." Rowell's voice pitched up to indicate what was their species' smile, setting Will down on a couch once they had reached home. "Are you hungry? Do you wish to bathe?"

"I think a bath might help me warm up.." Will said, looking at the blur he figured was Rowell, his vision slowly clearing up. "Why do you keep saying we? I only see you." He said, glad his vision had cleared enough that Rowell didn't just look like a blob, but actually had a fuzzy outline and the shapes around them were making more sense than before.
