[It's the dead of night, Mirage. Why aren't you asleep?

Well, to be honest, sleep hasn't come easy for the bot in quite some time. And with Sideswipe now rooming with him, he's found himself lying and staring up at the ceiling more often than not. It...wasn't a happy time, to say the least.

He's..had a couple things on his mind, too.

Leaving a note for the silver bot, he exits the Vectorian temple to get some air...and maybe some space. He didn't want Sideswipe hearing part of what he was about to broadcast.]

...Does anyone have ideas on how to fall asleep? I cannot seem to rest my optics tonight.

[Or other nights, but he'd rather not worry anyone. Unfortunately, Mirage's fatigue is slightly showing.]

[Locked to Vector Prime]

...It is not a decent hour, but I need your advice. I have no one to turn to.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Did I toss and turn that much?

...This past week. Is...nothing to be concerned about.

It was like listening to a bunch of tin cans try to dance.

... Uh huh. Go see a medic.

So your drunken self at the dance.

[An attempt at humor.]

I'm fine. I'm sure I'm just jittery.

I was not drunk. You were. Mister... Unatore.

[An attempt at Italian.]

Jittery? Why?

Una torre. Points for effort, though.

[The sound of his wings flicking can be heard in the background. Just one of his nervous tics.]

You get restless here with no war...

Damn right I get points for effort.

... So... you want to wrestle or something?

[There's a warm chuckle emitting from the Bot. He's...flattered, really.]

What, and watch you lose to me?

[An attempt to lighten the mood.]

Who says I'd lose? I'm fresh off the battlefield. And you've been laying around for months.

You should have seen what we did to those Decepticons when you and 'Bee took off. All Spark, they never saw it coming.

[Easy, Sideswipe, your dad worship is showing.]

... And neither will you.

[There's a slight pause. Mirage has to...collect himself for this response.]

Oh? I suppose you made them dread running into you, no?

[A half-hearted chuckle. He'll indulge him on that.]

Are you comparing me to a Decepticon? I'm hurt, Sideswipe.

Damn right we did.

[He's beaming, even though this is only voice.]

I don't know. Am I?

That is dangerous ground, Sideswipe, are you sure you wish to tread there?

[A soft purr is hidden among the speech, though.]

Is it making your engine rev?

No, but you are.

[Taking Barricade's advice? Maybe.]

Am I?

I had no idea.

[Yes you did, you asshole.]

[Another wing flutter behind that audio feed]

Are you attempting to lure me back?

What do I have to do to clarify that? Do a seduction dance?

I expect one when I return.

[Guess who's coming back into Vector's temple.]

Then stop brooding out there and don't keep me waiting.

[... Mission accomplished. Because Mirage sounds sufficiently distracted from whatever was bothering him a minute ago.]

[And that was, honestly, the entire point of flirting with him.]

[And Mirage uncloaks from behind him.]

Ciao~

[He jumps. That never fails to catch him off-guard.]

... That was fast.

Always underestimating me.

[You did good, Sideswipe, he's...distracted, at least.]

No, I think I know you pretty well.

I got you back in here, didn't I?

Seduction dance.

[He claps his hands together.]

... fine.

[He did say he'd do one. But it's with a lot of griping and grumbling.]

[It looks a lot like this, actually. It's less of a dance and more of a weird flailing around. But he does something.]

[Mirage's eyes are practically glittering at this, watching Sideswipe shimmy around him. For what it was worth, it did get him in a playful mood.

When Sideswipe comes up around the other side of him, that hand slides around his torso, pulling close.]
