Cold was the first sensation that swept through his body. He lay there, realizing he was completely naked, and that he was bound to a metal table-that his wrists, ankles, and waist were all strapped down tightly and completely. He realized he should be frightened, but oddly enough he wasn't. He drew in a sharp breath-it made his chest ache, just slightly, before he flickered his eyes open.
At the sight of the hideous green creature before him, he began to scream. His eyes widened as his voice came out crooked, his entire face and throat tingling and burning, but still he continued to scream and shake against the binds before him.
The green creature placed a palm-four scrawled out fingers that looked more like claws-and placed it over the human's mouth. The human, who hadn't realized how much energy had escaped him just from his sudden panic, was quickly stifled.
The creature blinked, eyes that seemed liquidy and far off and shone brightly, before taking his hand off the human's mouth. It then began to sweep it's long, spindling fingers downward, and the human realized there was a ginormous scar down his chest.
The human drew in a breath. This creature... had cut into him... looked at his organs...! Breathing heavily he looked around the room, and there was white everywhere, before looking back in awe and fear at the creature before him. The creature's antennae, which lay on it's head, were down, as if trying to make itself look passive.
The human began to scream again.
The alien, which had been wearing a garment of gray, took it off in one sweeping motion. He then stuck a bony knee out onto the surgical table, and the human whimpered and protested. The alien climbed atop the table despite the human's wishes, his antennae stuck upward now as if in curiosity. It leaned down against the human suddenly, blinking as the human was now simply a quivering, shaking mess, before reaching out another finger, and wiping away tears that the human didn't even know he'd cried.
The alien bent forward, and the human struggled to get free, though he knew better. The alien forced the human's cheeks against it's hand, squishing and pinching his face, before looking at him calmly. Then, although the human begged it not to, the alien pressed it's forehead against the human's.
The human immediately quieted. He was, quite suddenly, filled with ideas of warm beds, of dark nights and full moons, of stuffed animals and beautiful music. He shook a little more, sniffled, then began to feel calm, somehow. The alien was stroking his hair.
This was horrifying. This should be single most terrifying experience in his life. Yet, he didn't feel that way at all right now. Why didn't he feel that way?
But a voice, distinct from his own, told him it was fine.
Without thinking, as the alien rolled it's head over, he kissed it's green cheek. It seemed that his own mind gratified him for doing that. The back of the alien's hand began to caress his chest, and he thought again that this was all very odd and frightening, but the other voice told him that it shouldn't be.
He'd been cut into, he thought. This is invasive. This is just... scary.
But a voice told him it was for the greater good of a different race, a more advanced race than his own. He drew in a breath. The alien... smelled good.
The human wondered if the other voice was that of the alien, which was met with a rather blunt yes.
The alien nuzzled into his neck. It taught him that it was through proximity and touch that their species communicated. They had no need for something so primal as language-as meaningless sounds to roll off the mouth, or ridiculous symbols to explain a thought. Their species went straight to the source, and communicated telepathically.
He sniffed the alien again... he felt so calm, somehow. Was that the alien's fault. The alien admitted it was. It rested it's head on the human's chest, listening to his heart, a green finger tracing circles on his shoulder. The human, who was still bound to the table, breathed deeply, and knew that the alien appreciated that breath.
The human asked if he could go back home soon. The alien stopped caressing the human's skin a moment. Instead it twisted it's four fingers through the human's hair.
The alien gave no answer for a short while, only looking at the human, blinking at him with those soft, velvety-looking eyes, before suddenly getting off of him.
As soon as they were no longer interlocked, panic set in again for the human. He began to scream again. He would never go home...! Never, never! He'd rather die than stay here... what were they going to do to him? No, he'd much rather die!
The alien took a needle and, his four claws sinking into the human's wrist, making him squelch with sudden, sharp pain, it stuck it into the human's vein. The human whimpered a little, a great burn settling in that area, before spreading throughout his body and tingling his skin. He drew in a breath. He passed out.
His eyelids felt very heavy now as he pushed them tightly together, before opening them slowly again. He was no longer bound to the table, rather, he was simply lying there. He found that he was breathing rather slowly.
