“….Maybe I should shoot my shot with Starscream, you know, like..Actually ask him, for real this time that I….I want to be with him. What do you think?”

He’s talking to the little latex-like rabbit creature that Hosin had given him that had been resting on his bed. It doesn’t speak, of course, but Teebs will act like it does.

“I know, I know, we’ve already been relatively close, but I want him to know how much I genuinely care about him, you know? He…He means a lot to me, and I want him to never forget that. Yeah, I wanna…I wanna make this a thing, make us a thing..”

blows him a kiss,,,,,, gayly

“Ah!—“

Oh slag, Starscream sees him.

He sees him, and he’s sober, and emotions are hard and he can feel his spark nearly beating out of his chassis when he gazes his way. And then the kiss, he blows one his way and Teebs freezes, stuck in that moment for a moment. That was directed at him, right? Of course it was, he’d been talking to Star for quite some time, and they’d grown rather…Close. Optics dim and s smile finds its way on his faceplates, rubbing a gentle servo on his cheek guard. He pushes back the anxiety for a moment to look back and when he does, his visor blinks back at Starscream.
