Wreck 'n rule!

“ Hmm… ” she thought carefully, “ I often talk about arts and favorite fandoms like Harry Potter and perhaps some anime series, though I don’t watch anime as much as Miko. I do sometimes talk about history. ”

Was it really the topics that she thought was the problem? Not exactly. Like Miko, Wheeljack seeks for thrills. The type of thrill that will get you dead. Not to mention, but they were rather reckless and don’t think twice. Star doesn’t need a quarrel to be sparked in a middle of a hangout. She knew how heated she and Miko could get into. It was unnecessary.

“ I don’t know about you guys, but I’m really no fun. ”

« Wow. The language on this guy. Can you believe that? Human curses, on my comm? Never thought we’d resort to those again. »

“Seems you’ve found a fun one,” Wheeljack remarks, causing the red Seeker to shake lightly against him in a laugh.

“Seems so. Shall we dispel the air of mystery?” Starscream asks, red optics turning to his partner. At the acquiescent nod of Wheeljack’s helm, Starscream accepted the vid-comm request.

Starscream is the taller of the two, but he’s still leaning against Wheeljack’s front, wings cast halfway down his back so as not to smack the white mech in the face. Wheeljack’s helm is nestled in the crook of Starscream’s neck and shoulder paldron, one servo on the Seeker’s hip while the other lightly strokes the closest wing. They’re paying more attention to one another than the comm when it starts, but Starscream quickly returns his attention to the screen, gleeful, to see the alternate Wheeljack’s reaction, while Wheeljack himself looks amused by Starscream’s antics, if resigned.

« Thoughts, comments, concerns? »

« Here’s the thing. No matter what I say or do, you won’t believe me. I’m Starscream, after all, why would I tell the truth? Here’s the deal, though – I have someone very special here I’d like you to meet. » 

Away from the comm-line, but still audible, Starscream shouts,  “OH, SWEETSPARK! Someone would like to meet you.“ There a muffled voice somewhere in the background, before Starscream chuckles and leans back against another bot. “Hey there.”

“Hey, yourself,” says the ‘mystery’ bot, now audible on the line. “Who you talking to?”

Back into the comm, Starscream says, « I don’t know, Wheeljack, who am I talking to? »

He’ll address the Magnus thing in a minute, he thinks.

“Which memo?” Optimus asked confused. Had he missed a memo? He’d had a lot on his mind lately, but a memo…? He let the subject rest and noticed that Wheeljack suddenly became calm and hesitated. He knew that there was more than friendship between the two. The evidence of this was more than clear. At first the hesitant inquiries regarding relationships during the work of Ultra Magnus and now Wheeljacks are hesitating. Optimus smiled slightly. It was nice that at least some love could be there.

“Yes, he did… Even if he wouldn’t admit it and never want to tell, the longing for you was obvious. At least… I could saw that.” answered Optimus and smiled slightly. When Wheeljack wanted to turn the subject off immediately, the slight smile was a little wider. “He sure did, but I think… Spending time with a friend will surely get him going again.” Prime encouraged Wheeljack a little, and he stuck to the unpleasant subject.

“ Hang out with you guys… ? ” 

“ Come on, Star ! It’ll be fun ! ”

Miko looked at her hopefully. Star was hesitating. Apart from being shy, she wasn’t like Miko. Unlike her, though as much as she loved to have fun, she just can’t mix among people like her. Not to mention, but she and Miko had some conflicts at certain times. Miko was one to seek the thrills, while Star was one to play safe. 

“ I would love to, but- ”

“ Why but? ” Miko cuts her off, “ You gotta come out of your shell, either sooner or later. ”

“ You didn’t let me finish what I said. ”

Star suddenly spoke sourly at Miko, who slowly backed away a step from her, raising her hands in surrender. Despite speaking calmly, the girl was glaring furiously at the Japanese girl before quickly dissolving into a neutral expression again.

“ May I say that I’m a rather boring person, ” she spoke as if nothing had happened just now, “ The topics I talk about may be too bland to any one of your likings. Wouldn’t want to cause an argument either, ” she glanced at Miko, “ Don’t think I go well with Wreckers. ”
