( rubbing a stressing servo over his face, pushing them back into secured place. huffing, hoping his annoyance would serve a louder emotion than the embarrassment threatening to explode from underneath )

um.
whatever-

( squeezing a cheekplate portion down before wings pop up )
YOu'D *WiSH*

..... oh -

..... i . forgot that-
.. i didn't realize that -

...
( 💭 mech actually Listened to what i had to..
...
mech actually -
.. cared .

astro -- actually . ... cared )

. . .
( faceplates trembling minutely, hot steam and winter's cold hissing out like a whistling kettle )

I'M VERY POPULAR IN THE SOCIAL SETTINGS ! ESPECIALLY NOW THAT FOOTBALL SEASON is BAAAAAAACK 🗣‼️‼️

I'M ALREADY PLANNING OUT MY SUPERBOWL INVITEE LIST FOR THE PARTTYYYYY

MECHA TELL ME THINGS TOO !!!!

WHaT THE HeLL ??? YOU'RE REALLY VAiN, YOU KNOW THAT ?? OTHER MECHA ARE TOO AFRAID TO EVEN APPROACG YOU TO EVEN THINK iT, BUT i KNOW .

i KNOW a LOT .

for a mech who claims never to care, you always seem so surprised at the levels of desperation others can dig, astroooo .

WHY. YOU'RE LIKE THE EVERLASTING GOBSTOPPER 😾 ???

FOREVER !!!! MWAHAHHAHAHAA

i'm gonna eat you and you will be in my tummy !!

( as sing-song as his screeching, scratched-up tone could sound, tenderly holding the sides of astro's purple helm as he lifted up a winged purple pede like a cliché lover's pose during a deep kiss of sealed reunion

patting the helm's matching sides )
saw somethin' pretty durin' your spacetravels ?

( wings flutter frost and char from their creaky, squeaky flicker, clasping his wirey servos together with a hiss of steam from cold meeting hot )
DAWWWW !
and i didn't even have to fly UPSIDE DOWN for that FROWN to turn-
.. you know !
upside down !!

HEYYYY, BIG FELLA !

🙂 Blitzwing

😐

you know what, close enough, we're going to hell anyway

everybot knows that only cool mecha show up late, CAN I GET AN AMEN !

a man is sitting on the ground playing with a dead animal . ALT: a man is sitting on the ground playing with a dead animal .

ASTROOOO !!!!!!!!!

HUH !?!?+?

WHAT

staring off where octane once was,
a digit tapping anxious and quick against his buried hilt.

he glances back at astro, a softened expression from a mech always wounded tight, an expression saved only for astro's graceful gaze . )

. . are You good, train ?

.. i'm good, train .

you said it yourself, i could always just kick his aft.
i'm not like octane's scaredy self.
.. he better watch where he's flying though.. what if he snags a source from the wrong person to steal it from..

we should head after him..

( sun shines on his squinted visor,

from the purple parts of his armor, not caring much for the yellow tank portions though.

a little 'eh' leaves him, recalling the clone question )
wh-
nah- no. i'm fine.
we just made out or whatever. on his freak couch composed of human skin.

..nah, it's-
fine.
i'm.

( visor ridge raising )

off,
attempting to transform just as smoothly but his jet malfunctioned and nosedived midupswing in flight, and he crashlanded back on his butt. )

hey!
i was kidding!! i-

primus, train, was the conversation that personal to him??
was it something i said, or-
..
you said ?

( dusting dirt away

the context.
what matter is mecha making things easier on themselves, always.
his teasing offered inspiration for rebuttal, a defense, an introduced complexity.
arguing about it drew an audience,
witnesses that you could offer more, were more.

blitz felt a pang of panic watching the triple take

for his energon supply. more than half of it was alcoholic anyhow.
but to be viewed by the worst as the worst wasn't the most secure job security when the spotlight's on negativity, and your role is attached to usefulness only.
fear can only go so far.
everybot gets weak at one point, doesn't matter
