⠀ i see. ⠀ ( cheeks puffed under the mask. ) ⠀

⠀ what did you even do? ⠀ ( following behind. ) ⠀

⠀ ( sighhhh. ) ⠀ show me. ⠀

⠀ this isn’t a hypothetical, is it? ⠀

⠀ ( HE WASN’T ASLEEP IN HERE— discreetly wiping drool as the door is opened. ) ⠀ what’s up? ⠀

⠀ nice to meet you. how’d you get here? ⠀ ( blanket offered out. ) ⠀

⠀ ( holding a blanket in his fist. that’s them..? ) ⠀

⠀ 📲 * ⠀ i’ll see what i can do. ⠀

⠀ 📲 * ⠀ who doesn’t know hot shot these days? ⠀ 📲 * ⠀ springer’s a busy mech. magnus and prowl keep him tied up. don’t take his frequent absence for granted! ⠀

⠀ 📲 * ⠀ fine for this first offense. but definitely don’t make a habit of it. ⠀ 📲 * ⠀ realistically speaking, verity is the only human authorized to reside here permanently. a few days won’t hurt. ⠀

⠀ 📲 * ⠀ yes? ⠀

⠀ i’ll be around. you two get home safe. stay warm! ⠀ ( waves! ) ⠀

⠀ something like that.. ⠀

⠀ i’ve met him before. he was the leader of the wreckers before springer. ⠀

⠀ possibly debris; a wrecker operated vessel— strictly ran. its whereabouts are unknown unless you’re springer. or impactor. if i knew more, you know i’d tell you. ⠀

⠀ oh yes, i remember them. if i had to guess, if he hasn’t found them by now that is, they were probably stored away somewhere we wouldn’t be able to retrieve them from after— everything that happened. ⠀

⠀ less than favorable? ah, what suitcases are you referring to if i’m allowed to ask? ⠀

⠀ yes, i was. but i received the best care. everything has been deeply wiped down and sterilized too. ⠀ ( because fizzy is a germaphobe. big time. ) ⠀ cozy, right? is rotorstorm coming down here too? ⠀ ( sat back on pyro’s berth. ) ⠀

⠀ you’re a good friend, sunwire. it’s the least i can do. ⠀ ( his wide, wondrous optics reflect a smile & the door is opened wider, granting her entry. she can sit on his berth. ) ⠀ i’ve been fine for the most part. sick on and off like anyone else… ⠀

⠀ hello. uh, suitcases? no— i haven’t seen any. is everything alright? you seem.. maybe upset? sorry.. ⠀

⠀ ( sat in pyro’s bed— hammering away at the keys on his laptop. that’s not a knock that anyone around here has, gently closing his laptop & approaching the door cautiously. opening up.. ) ⠀ sunwire? how’d you get here..? ⠀

⠀ outside of my comfort zone right now. everyone says this is good for you to experience every now and then. ⠀

⠀ sure! does this stuff weaken over time after being pulled from the body and exposed to open space? do you know? how soon should i use it? or store it until i can use it..? ⠀

⠀ i won’t use it on anything important to start. only trial pieces. ⠀ ( hands the delicate item off into their grasp. ) ⠀

⠀ hmm. i’ve got a vial i can spare. ⠀ ( he ventures deeper into the makeshift workspace of his ‘ lab,’ rooting around for one of the little glass bottles & holding it up. ) ⠀

⠀ heh, not very. i’m qualified to prod around various weaponry, but not an individual. you’re gonna want someone who’s licensed for that. trust me. ⠀

⠀ we can always make this ‘ weapons related. ’ larger automatic weaponry gets hot super quick, and the natural cooldown is several minutes. i’m sure whatever you’ve got in there could be integrated into the mechanics and slash that time in half. maybe. ⠀

⠀ okay. how can i help? ⠀

⠀ what? yes—⠀ ( opening up, bewildered. ) ⠀

⠀ ( nothing on his end, apologies for the inconvenience. pyro will probably ask him if he received the same message later on whenever they reconvene. back to work! ⠀ * 📲 ) ⠀

⠀ uh-huh! i will. don’t hesitate to reach out again if i’m needed, okay? ⠀

⠀ i’m just happy to help when i can. really you were no trouble. i’d do it again if asked. ⠀ ( he smiles, weight hefted up as he stands. ) ⠀ think i’ll head back to base now. settle for the night, y’know? ⠀

⠀ thanks for being so willing to confirm my suspicions. i won’t say a thing about it. you guys are makin’ it work. i’m happy hearing it. ⠀ ( he can’t say for certain if he’ll ever experience what they have in his remaining lifetime. sipping quietly. ) ⠀

⠀ trouble? hm.. i wouldn’t go as far as worrying about that. nothings negatively changed. i mean look at this place— you guys have been working hard for quite sometime now. ⠀

⠀ am i the only one that knows now? ⠀

⠀ i see how you bend over backwards for her. are you sure it isn’t the other way around? ⠀ ( ratio. ) ⠀

⠀ did she tell you? i didn’t mean to intrude. not at all. ⠀

⠀ ( are they going to kiss in there. ) ⠀

⠀ i don’t think it’s bad. ⠀

⠀ ( froze, optics blown wide. sliiiiiiding his attention towards the door. ) ⠀ hey, dude..! ⠀

⠀ do you like him? i won’t tell him— or anyone for that matter. or does he like you? is it mutual? ⠀

⠀ so only he’s able to convince you then? right? sorry. i’m curious. ⠀

⠀ would you have gone still if rotorstorm hadn’t taken initiative..? ⠀ ( he may be onto you, cityspeaker, or close to it. ) ⠀

⠀ you don’t seem too happy about that. don’t you feel better? ⠀

⠀ uh— i can see that you’re able to get around better. but what happened yesterday? ⠀
