my robotic angel of the east

i had planned to write a very long and passionate letter detailing my ardor for you, but all words are insufficient to encompass all that i have felt for you in this very short time

to everyone else you are only drift, a robot without a home and with a mysterious past and a mysterious smile and a mysterious ... (i'll fill this in with something else later, maybe that crest?)

but to me, you are everything. you are the light of every star that i see reflected in your hull, and every time i see you i long to tell you everything, but the thought of being rejected is unbearable to me. so i make excuses to see you often, and hope that you will take that first step, instead.

please, i beg you, don't reject me because of my organic state. don't turn away from me in my hour of emotional need. i want you more than i have ever wanted any other being, organic or otherwise, and i could not bear if you didn't at least entertain the possibility of making me yours, and you mine.

in this brave new world so in need of terraforming, drift, you have terraformed my everything.

forever yours,
V.

...why were you talking about your sex life to Starscream?

[Is there something going on between you two?]

I mean, you too should be happy. With whomever you want.
_{that's all}

He was just trying to put me on the spot... it was that whole. That whole nonsense about scoring.

[NO OH GOD NO.]

Oh, Drift. I don't.

Date people. Anymore.

And getting with someone right now is kind of the last thing on my mind.

But the sentiment is appreciated.

Oh. That. Yeah that got...weird. [Got weird?]

But.

Well. You know. You might. In the future.

[This whole thing is really painful isn't it?]

Yeah it did.

Look, I haven't dated someone since college. I really don't think I'm going to start now that I'm surrounded by robots.

I don't think you should make any flat statements about the future. You don't know. You could, you know, meet someone.

I really don't think so, but thank you for the confidence.

..._{are we still friends?}

[Because he can't help but feel he's messed something up here.]

Of course we are.

Me and Percy are maybe going to detach Starscream's ass plating and feed it to him. You want in on this?

You and Perceptor.

[Wow you two sure do hang out a lot.]

I'm not sure that's necessary. I mean, no harm done, is there?

... Yeah? Something wrong?

[Honest concern here.]

I guess, but god damn I'm pissed at him.

No. Nothing's wrong.

It kind of...yeah. [Yeah he's got it.]

I'd be the last to tell you that you shouldn't, uh, disincentivize him from doing it again. [See? All that command cadre stuff on the Lost Light has expanded his vocabulary.]

Ah, well. Maybe you're right. I just need to cool off.

You sure you're okay? I know the past week has been kind of... weird. I mean, all things considered, more weird than the pre-established weirdness here.

Just...be careful that what you're planning isn't actually just playing into his hands.

I'm fine. Really. [You love that f-word from Drift.]

Driiiiiiiiiiiiiiiift.

[Gettin that look.]

What. Vandal. Please. We have more serious matters.

[Like. Uh. Something.]

How's the armoring of your home going?

Don't change the subject, Drift.

...but your safety is important.

[TRUTH.]

Drift. Seriously. You're not going to get out of it this time.

Get out of what?

[SMILE.]

[Frag, this isn't going to work, is it?]

Vandal, I'm fine. [You and Perceptor are tag teaming him.]

You always say that and then you're all quiet and serious and shit.

Vandal it's just....it's just a fuel line thing. It'll work itself out.

Has Ratchet talked to you yet? If he hasn't I can try doing a patch myself. I'm learning you know. I mean...

[Only one or two lessons so far but still.]

You know what would make me happy? If you weren't in pain.

No. Ratchet's been busy with the Brave Police. Important things. Not this trivial thing.

[Ouch. You had to say it that way.]

Vandal. Karrie. [He sighs.] What do you want?

Then let me try a fuel line patch for you.

I want you to look out for yourself a little more. Or allow me to. Or anyone for that matter.

...all right. [Though, wow, what date is normally 'major repairs'?]

[He frowns because he's been talking to Starscream.]

You too, you know.
