    Summary

    “Grace said no, statement. Grace said no, Earth do anyway. This illegal on Erid, to do after say no.”
    And even as the memory of trying to say no exploded in his brain, even as he drowned in being chased like a fucking animal and shoved into the dirt and held there, held like the fact he was screaming and thrashing and fucking pleading no didn’t fucking matter, he said, “It was illegal on Earth, too,” in an irrational desire to defend his planet. (Where was that desire when Eva had called him into her office and-) “There were only so many options. It was selfish of me. I should’ve been braver. I should’ve wanted to go.”
    ***
    Or, Grace having PTSD from being held down and Rocky trying to comfort him, with a side of Rocky finding out Grace was forced into space

    Title is a common phrase but I specifically drew it from “No” from the musical Jagged Little Pill

    Summary

    Rocky and Grace are on their way to Erid. Grace has a nightmare and Rocky tries to wake him up.
    He pretends he's fine but Rocky of course sees through his bs and tells Grace to talk about bis dream.
    But his friend is scared. What is he scared of? That Rocky is gonna hate him once he knows the true story of how he ended up on the Hail Mary. He isn't the hero he thought he was. He was selfish and a coward.

    Or: Grace is distraught and Rocky tells his leaky space blob that he won't ever stop loving him.

The sole survivor of the Eridian team, the engineer named “Rocky” arrives on the planet in a flurry of worry that not even his mates thrum can assuage. They insist the fellow savior of Erid is starving and unwell, and that he needs help, or he shall perish.

May contain improperly used Earth slang, warning.
