Marcel is an alien. A quek. He's scaly, and blue, and has little pink spots on his arms. His hair is as white as the moons that shine above his garden, and his eyes are as yellow as the blazing sun that warms his planet. He never expected to be Auditioning for a role in the newest planet exploration trip.
His brother, reqikm, has established many alliances with other races, most notably the barbaric martians, the odd pluyos, and the strangely animalistic wokok.
When he learns that marcel is trying out,he's absolutely thrilled.
When marcel is chosen, he is confused. But as his training starts, he wonders.
"Will this really all be worth it?"

Y/n is a human person, living a human person life. But when a battered, broken, 7'6 blue man shows up at their door, they wonder if they just stumbled upon a new path.
As y/n guides the alien through life, and explains things that, admittedly, make him more confused than before he had an explanation, they begin to grow fond of his gray, shark toothed smile, his unblinking eyes, and his odd shyness.
They begin to wonder.
"Am I really crushing on a freaking alien?"
