There is nothing to apologize for. You were not yourself.

That may be, but my actions caused you discomfort nonetheless. That is what I am sorry for.

[He knows the tentacles freak people out a lot ~~and would normally never bust them out on a first date~~ and typically refrains from grabbing people with them outside of a fight for that reason...]

Let me reiterate then: You did nothing to apologize for.

[Why can't you just let him apologize you poot.]

Very well.

[ because! ]

Are you doing well now?

[Because you don't want to admit being hugged is horrible for you Megs?]

Lingering embarrassment aside, yes.

You couldn't see me, but I did have a good chuckle reading that. I wasn't entirely aware you could still feel things like embarrassment.

I typically don't, but I've also never spent a large amount of time sitting on Breakdown before.

[He is never going to speak of the fact that he sat on Ratchet too.]

You didn't enjoy the experience?

Not in retrospect.

But at the time you did, hmm?

As you said, I was not myself.

Some of it was amusing, to say the least. However, I do know what it is like to feel like someone has tampered with your mind. For that, reason alone you needn't have ever worried over an apology.

In that case, thank you for your understanding.

I'm almost afraid to ask, but what in the world did you say to Pipes? He's texting me from the shower and it's really awkward.

He asked a question and I answered.

What could he have possibly asked you that would have led to this?

[ Drift is going to make this as formal as possible because he's feeling a little cheeky today. It happens when he's in a good mood, and he's been given plenty reason to be in a good mood. ]

Megatron. I hope you're available. I need to discuss something of the utmost importance. Our future depends on it.

[ why so formal? it puts Megatron on edge. just a little. ]

I am. Is something wrong, Drift?

That remains to be seen. Can I see you in my quarters? I'd prefer not the have this conversation in a digital space.

[ Very curt. ]

[ oh man. is Drift mad? upset? ]

Right away.

[ look, Megatron can even be there literally one minute later. knocking. ]

Drift?

[ perhaps some concern bleeding into the tone of his voice? ]

[ The benefits of living next door: Drift isn't forced to keep up the stalwart act for too long. Which is doubly difficult because ordering around his former commander and having him jump is kinda hot. ]

Secure the door please. And sit.

[ These are private matters! At any rate, Drift is seated as the small table in the room sharpening one of his swords, his face serious but unreadable. He looks up from the weapon, his face almost grave....until a twisting curve works its way slowly onto his face, splitting into a smile when he can't hold back anymore.

He gestures at Megatron with the sharpening stone, mirth and wonder in his tone. ]

Did you seriously convince Rodimus to propose to me?

[ usually Drift isn't so grave or serious. rather, he hasn't been since Megatron has come to have him in his life again. unless the situation merits it. thus to have Drift calling him here in that tone with THAT expression...

isn't it only natural that he'd be somewhat concerned? think that something is underfoot? ]

Urgent, you say...

[ must be if Drift is sharpening those swords. that's why he secures the door and takes a seat.

then the expression on Drift's face shifts and he realizes that he's been had. Megatron's expression also changes. to neutral. ]

Did I really just fall for something like that so easily...

[Drift wouldn't do this often, raise a false alarm, but this is, quite literally, a special occasion.

He rises with a fond smile on his face, setting down the sword and sharpening stone in preference for putting those hands on Megatron's plating. He's pleased as energon punch really, and it has nothing to do with fooling his former leader.]

Now, now. I only spoke truth. It is important that we talk and I wanted to thank you...

To thank me for what, exactly?

[ Megatron doesn't think he really had anything to do with it. however Drift is more than pleased, it seems. Drift is practically bubbling, filled to the brim with a happy energy.

but back to the question that Drift had asked. one of Megatron's hands pats one of Drift's. ]

He proposed, you say?

[ well that's one way to settle the issue. ]

I can't take credit for what he has decided. My involvement in the matter really is minor. I only asked him what it was he wanted.
