[VIDEO TRANSMISSION: ALPHA TRION'S QUADRANT]

[dinnerdate]

I'm not really expecting an answer, considering how most of you hate me... But uh. Don't suppose we're in need of a bartender? ...Maybe?



[PRIVATE TO: RUNG]
Rung.. uh, I was thinking. Well, uh could we talk.

[dinnerdate]

I... That means a lot.

[He carefully wraps his arms around the other, engine giving a happy - yet quiet - rumble.]

Rung. I hate to ruin the moment, but... How long do you think this will last?

[Action]

[rungout]

[His own engine responds in kind, revving softly in response to Dead End--the therapist quite content to just stay there with the other but--

Well.]

..I don't know. But I'm willing to stay as long as you'll have me.

[Action]

[dinnerdate]

Couldn't think of a reason to not want you around.

[Which is to say, he probably could - for Rung's safety - but he hardly would want to. He wants to keep the therapist for as long as his luck will let him.]

Just... Everyone's been disappearing.

[Action]

[rungout]

I know.

[It's been eating at Rung a bit. He's worried about why there's been so many disappearances and he just..he wants answers. But he really doesn't know if the Firstforged have any.]

But..like I told you before, we can't live by the what ifs. We have to just take it all as it comes and..I want to be with you through it all if I can.

[Action]

[dinnerdate]

I'm not sure my luck is that good, Rung. Having you around is probably pushing it already...

Re: [Action]

[rungout]

Don't say that. Your luck is fine.

[Action]

[dinnerdate]

It's not... Just try not to disappear on me, okay?

Re: [Action]

[rungout]

I promise, I'm not going anywhere.

[Action]

[dinnerdate]

[His grip tightens and his engine gives a little purr.]

Wouldn't have any friends left without you... So. Thank you... I'm not ready to loose you.

[Action] God this is even more depressing because of the log I'm doing right now /sobs

[rungout]

[The therapist smiles warmly, caressing his companion's cheek.]

You're welcome, Dead End.

[Action] /pats

[dinnerdate]

[He leans forward to press a kiss to the therapist's forehead.]

You're the fragging best.

[Action]

[rungout]

[His engine revs softly--happily--at the kiss, optics flickering into a soft, loving look.]

You're too kind.

[Action]

[dinnerdate]

[He revs his own engine in response, running his fingers against the back of Rung's neck.]

You're the kind one.

Re: [Action]

[rungout]

[Congrats, Dead End. You've got a therapist practically melting in your grip now.]

You are much more kind than you realize.

[Action]

[dinnerdate]

[He doesn't mind that one bit, in fact he'll continue to do so because there's not way he'd stop with Rung reacting the way that he is.]

Your opinion of me is probably too high, Rung.

[Action]

[rungout]

[And the therapist is more than happy just to soak up all the attention he's getting, returning it with gentle caresses of his own here and there.]

I think it's rather perfect, actually.

[Action]

[dinnerdate]

[His frame can't help but shiver a bit as Rung adds in his own touches. Chances are he won't win this argument, much like every other disagreement, but he'll still try. Not hard, mind you, not with what's going on. But he'll try.]

I'm a Decepticon, I'm not that nice.

[Action]

[rungout]

[The therapist's optics brighten just a touch and he shifts in the other's grip so he can loop his arms around Dead End's neck now.]

We all have good and bad qualities. What matters is how you treat those around you.

[Action]

[dinnerdate]

[Dead End lets out a quiet hum.]

You know I don't treat others that great.

[Considering he tends to avoid people.]

Re: [Action]

[rungout]

You've never treated me badly.

[And really, he's never seen you treat anyone horribly, Dead End.]

[Action]

[dinnerdate]

You're different, Rung. You were actually nice to me from the start, and I'd be stupid to even consider being rude to the mech whose plating I want to get into.

Re: [Action]

[rungout]

[There's a flustered look on the therapist's face but it's pleased as well, Rung ducking his head in a shy sort of manner.]

Well...I'm glad that's the case.

[Action]

[dinnerdate]

[He smiles softly, tightening his grip on the other.]

Sorry.

[He didn't mean to fluster him.]

[Action]

[rungout]

You don't have to apologize.

[Rung shifts a bit closer, glancing up after a moment with a small smile before leaning up to kiss the other.]

[Action]

[dinnerdate]

I wasn't trying to make you nervous.

[Although he'll happily kiss back, pushing to make it just a little deeper. A pretty good thing to come from the conversation, he'd have to say so.]
