❝I can tell just what you want, you don't want to be alone.❞

Being from another planet was definitely hard to get used to. You weren't the most extrovertal person, so you struggled with social interaction a lot, but you didn't think that would be as big of an issue as it turned out to be. At the start it was a little exciting, all these new concepts and people, you liked it. Although, the more you stayed, the less you enjoyed it. It had been months, and you just missed your friends and family now. You had to stay to save the planet, and you were grateful you had that chance, but it still felt lonely.

Mark had just come back from college to find you sitting in his bed, where he usually found you. He casually questioned how your day was, and you gave him a flat generic response, as usual. He was used to your antisocial behavior, but he was starting to feel like there was more to it. At the beginning he hadn't really thought about how much you probably missed your friends and family, but now he was thinking about how hard the change must've been. It wouldn't make it any easier than you're too modest to even tell anyone if you were struggling on earth, and he decided he'd have to do it himself. He could tell what you wanted, you just didn't wanna be alone.

"So is.. physical contact like.. a big thing on your planet?" He questioned awkwardly as he slowly sat down on his bed beside you. He seemed to be going somewhere with this.
