“You’ve been in that same exact spot since 9 this morning.”

Roller might have jumped the tiniest bit, turning to the other mech. Checking the time confirmed that yes, he really had been sitting in the same spot for quite some time. Oops.

“I’m catching up on my crime documentaries.”

"Have you taken any sort of a break? Shouldn't binge-watch without a decent break occasionally, y'know." Rodimus wanted to make sure the big guy was taking care of himself, really. He seemed the type, much like himself, who tended to put their own well-being on the back burner.

[bigfriendlyroller]

“I... No, I suppose I haven’t taken much of an actual break. Guess I ought to do that now, huh?“ He did have a habit of getting too involved in his shows... Reaching for the control, Roller paused the documentary and stood. His legs felt weak from the lack of use, and he couldn’t deny how good it felt to stretch.

Watching Skyfire perk up and turn in his direction brought a smile to Roller’s face and made excitement dance through his spark. The white of the shuttle’s plating shone and nearly sparkled now that they weren’t in a dark bar and instead outside during the day. It wasn’t hard to tell that the two of them stuck out quite clearly amongst the others. As far as Roller could see, there were a few other larger mechs floating around, but none near as big as they were. Back where Roller lived, it was common to see them, due to all the job positions available at the docks. The Point One Percenter tended to fit and blend in a little better there, whereas here it just felt like there was a spotlight trained on him. Which was the cause of some anxiety, but he knew it would likely disappear once him and Skyfire started to get on with their day.

Roller weaved in between and around the small crowds of mechs that littered the foot path as he made his way to Skyfire. Nobody paid him any mind, too busy with their own lives to acknowledge the large mech making his way past them. Skyfire, with his bright white plating, stood like a beacon in the crowd. Now that they were out in the light of day, Roller could make out his features a little better. And Primus, he looked even more handsome. “Hey! It’s good to see you too. How’ve you been?” Those wings caught his attention as they twitched, but blue optics didn’t take long to focus back on the flyer’s face. A light blush dusted the ex-cop’s face and he couldn’t help but miss the courage the drinks gave him the other night.

Roller shrugged, waving a hand in dismissal. “Nah, it’s fine, don’t feel bad. Definitely not what I’m used to, but I made it through. I’m here now so I consider that a win.”

“I’ve been well.” His own optics flicked to the side as they briefly met Rollers, if only for a few seconds. Skyfire was almost certain the other mech had been blushing. Interesting. So, there could have been more to that slightly inebriated flirting from a few nights ago than the shuttle may have originally thought. Never mind that said blush suited the grounder. 

“I managed to make it all the way to one of our working space stations in NGC-5195 on my downtime. I’m…fairly certain I’d mentioned that I planned on making the trip the last time we saw each other. It was a decent enough flight, about thirty trillion miles if you make good time, not bad at all for stretching your wings. Not, however, especially interesting as far as things to see but…”

Another pause but he was able to actually catch his wings this time – stopping those traitorous appendages from twitching anymore and betraying his uncharacteristic nervousness. Instead, he only offered the other mech a shrug. Truly the epitome of smooth. Was he rambling? Almost certainly. Was it presumptuous to think Roller might not know how far of a flight it had been? Maybe. He hoped the grounder wasn’t offended. “But how have you been?”

Waiting for the Point One Percenter to answer, he sidestepped out of the way of a group of mechs passing them on the sidewalk. Rollers remark earned him a chuckle and Skyfire turned his full attention back to him once again after the mechs had passed. “Well, good. That’s the spirit,” he smiled, nudging the other mech playfully with a shoulder now that he’d moved somewhat to his side. “And I suppose it’s a win for both of us, then.”

The shuttles attention was caught momentarily by another group of mechs coming from the opposite direction of the last, which he’d also have to move for. Glancing back at Roller he motioned for the other mech to follow him. They could chat while they walked. Their destination wasn’t too much farther on foot anyway and they stood a better chance of not taking up as much sidewalk space on the move.

[bigfriendlyroller]

“Good, good.” Had the flyer noticed the blush that dusted his cheeks? He really ought to work harder to keep that in check. Skyfire didn’t need him behaving like a fool with a crush. Not that he had one, obviously, they just met. It was just... he just knew a decent and attractive mech when he saw one. That was all.

“Oh, really? You did mention that, yes.” He may have had a couple drinks that night, but could’ve sworn Skyfire had mentioned an upcoming trip. Except... “Ah, thirty trillion miles?” There was a surprised exhale from the grounder, that was definitely no small trip. “That is pretty far...” Very far for a non-flight frame, actually. Kudos to shuttles, no way in pit would Roller be able to make such a trip.

Oh, those wings had stopped moving. Which was kind of odd... Yikes, had Skyfire noticed him staring? He hoped not, but why were they twitching like that in the first place? Excitement, or was it nerves? “I’ve been pretty good. Haven’t been too busy, haven’t been too lazy. Productive enough.”

Roller’s optics followed Skyfire as the mech shifted out of the way to let the others pass. Despite doing their best to stay out of the way, the sidewalk was only so big and they were still disrupting the flow of the foot traffic. Which really wasn’t the most pleasant situation for everyone involved. The smile and the little nudge brought a grin and a short laugh. “I suppose so.” Ha, cute.

Skyfire’s change in focus and the approaching group didn’t go unnoticed by Roller. It was definitely time to get out of the way, and it seemed his company had decided that too. He didn’t hesitate in following Skyfire, keeping pace next to him the best he could and ducking behind him when it came time to move out of the way of another sidewalk user. The Point One Percenter wondered where it was they were headed and when it was quiet enough to do so, voiced his curiosity. “So, where are we going to now?”

[r0cketb0y-deactivated20200313]

bigfriendlyroller‌:

The further Roller went, the closer he got to where he was meeting up with Skyfire, the less chaotic the traffic got. It quieted down, and it didn’t seem like many mechs were headed in the same direction as him. Instead, they were going the opposite way, leaving the area. Even the crowds of mechs walking became less and less, until there were only a couple handfuls per block, milling around and coming in and out of businesses. This, along with the growing amount of factories and warehouses in the area, left Roller with questions. 

And although he did have questions, they were not necessarily bad questions. The ex-cop trusted Skyfire enough to be able to assure himself that there had to be a good reason the flyer wanted to meet here of all places. He had assumed Skyfire would be more likely to invite him to meet up in a tourism or shopping district, but hey, industrial areas still had plenty of gems to offer, even if they didn’t seem too visually appealing to most. He was well aware of that fact, considering his own area of living was quite similar to this. And if anything, if this trip proved to be something other than what he was led to believe it was, the Point One Percenter knew how to take care of himself. He wasn’t overly confident in his abilities to the point where it could get him in trouble, but he knew he had a good chance at getting out of any sticky situation he may find himself in.

When he was less than half a block away from their meet-up spot, Roller shifted lanes and stopped to transform out of his alt mode. With a quick stretch to loosen up his joints after the long drive, he checked out his surroundings. He was fairly certain he could see Skyfire standing off to the side up ahead, with his bright white paint, wings and height. It didn’t seem as if the other mech had noticed him yet, so he sent off a quick message as he began to approach.

Rollers last message caught Skyfire by surprise, causing the shuttle’s wings to flick upwards as he turned his helm to look in the grounder’s direction. Unsurprisingly, he’d somehow managed to overlook the ex-cop as he transformed, having managed to keep his attention on the traffic for all of about a klik before it had wandered somewhere else. However, Roller was as easy to pick out of a crowd as Skyfire himself, the orange of his plating was much brighter than it had looked under the dim bar lighting a few nights ago. It also helped that he towered over the handful of bots ahead of him on the path. The area may have been industrial but the factories themselves didn’t require many larger bots  – they mostly produced small electrical components and chemicals, while warehouses tended to hold overstock for the various scientific institutions located in Iacon. This all meant that bots of both Roller and Skyfire’s statures still weren’t especially common in the area unless they happened to be delivering or picking up anything. At any length, Skyfire would be happy to answer any questions the grounder may have had about the area, even if it wasn’t particularly interesting unless you had specific investments in the businesses there. They weren’t really there for them, anyway. 

Pushing himself away from the wall he’d been leaning against, Skyfire threw a hand up at the other mech, waving slightly both in greeting and to make sure he’d been seen. Navigating with practiced care around the smaller bots he passed, he closed the gap between himself and Roller, giving the other a smile, wings high. “Hello, it’s good to see you again.” A slight pause as said wings flicked ever so slightly. Sober, casual conversation was a bit harder than he remembered, even if he was genuinely happy to see the other mech again. But that was fine, he’d acclimate.

Arms crossed over his chest, he chuckled, “so, how did you enjoy Iacon rush-hour? I hope it wasn’t too bad. I felt a bit guilty putting you through it, to be honest.”

[bigfriendlyroller]

Watching Skyfire perk up and turn in his direction brought a smile to Roller’s face and made excitement dance through his spark. The white of the shuttle’s plating shone and nearly sparkled now that they weren’t in a dark bar and instead outside during the day. It wasn’t hard to tell that the two of them stuck out quite clearly amongst the others. As far as Roller could see, there were a few other larger mechs floating around, but none near as big as they were.

Somebody's excited to see his family after being away from the ship for a couple months. "Hey, good lookin'."

“Roller!” Skids is so happy to see him again, he practically throws himself into the larger mech’s arms. “You didn’t tell me you were coming home!”

[bigfriendlyroller]

Roller scoops the smaller mech up and holds him close as he peppers Skids’ cheeks with kisses. It feels so good, so right, to hold his conjunx again. “I’m sorry, I wanted to surprise you!”

[theoreticiian-deactivated202309]

“Well, you definitely surprised me!” Skids slips his arms around Roller and kisses him back, doors fluttering happily on his back. He’d missed him so much! “The twins are going to be so excited to see you.”

[bigfriendlyroller]

His spark jumps in his chest as he brushes his hands across Skids’ plating. “Aw, I can’t wait to see them. I’m sure they’ve grown quite a bit over the past couple of months.” Of course there’s some anxiety there. How much has he missed?

[theoreticiian-deactivated202309]

Skids’ frame shivers slightly as he all but clings to Roller, pressing a few more kisses over Roller’s face. “They really have. They’re starting to form alt modes and everything. Spica’s managed to do some transforming, but not fully there yet and Polaris is just so excited about his doors being just like mine, on his back. He keeps making them flutter, it’s adorable.”

[bigfriendlyroller]

Roller plants another kiss on Skids’ lips. Good luck to anyone who tries to separate them now. “I bet it is adorable. A little flutter bug. And alt modes and transforming already? I wonder what their alts look like.” Their smart little bitties, growing up so quick. Hopefully they’re not too mad that he left them for a bit, he’s not sure his spark could handle that. “Where are they at now? How soon can I see them?”

Roller couldn’t help but be surprised that he hadn’t found himself completely lost yet. It wasn’t that he was incapable of following directions, or that Iacon’s streets were too foreign for him, it was just that the heavy traffic was proving to be somewhat overwhelming. He wasn’t a fan of the bumper to bumper traffic, and changing lanes shouldn’t have been that hard to accomplish. It wasn’t as bad now as it had been, but he knew his stress probably wouldn’t dissipate until he got to where he was meeting Skyfire.  

Despite his less-than-ideal current situation, Roller found that it could not diminish his excitement over seeing Skyfire again. The past couple of days since their first meeting had been filled with thoughts of the white shuttle. Not that he’d admit that, but what could he say? Roller liked the mech, he made for good company and they had quite a bit in common.

A ping came through from the other mech just as he was passing through an intersection. Once it was safe to do so, Roller sent back a short message in reply, informing the shuttle that he’d gotten through the worst of the traffic and would likely arrive at their meeting spot on time. It was a good thing that he ended up leaving his apartment earlier than intended, as he’d likely be late if he hadn’t.

Roller’s reply came just as Skyfire was banking right, turning onto a lane that mercifully offered a bit more breathing room and slightly less traffic than the main thoroughfare. This particular stretch of road went through what had been a more industrial region of pre-war Iacon and kept going until you came to the northwestern border of the city. From there on out there were only some smaller, less populated subsectors between Iacon and the next city-state. Of course, they weren’t going all the way to that border, but it explained the stemming of traffic. Not many bots had business out that way.

This also meant that foot traffic wasn’t nearly as bad as it would have been in the heart of the city. Warehouses and factories still tended to be clustered around Iacon’s borders – most of the bots that would have been milling around below either worked or lived in the area. It was relatively painless for Skyfire to signal and exit the air lane he was in, find an empty space along the footpath that ran parallel with the road and shift to root mode. That’s why he’d chosen this spot specifically to meet Roller. Now that he was firmly on the ground and bipedal again, Skyfire went about making sure he was as out of the way of foot traffic as possible. Tucked closely to the wall of a larger building, he sent the grounder another quick message to let Roller know that he’d arrived and would look out for him. The flyers message sent, he proceeded to do just that. Glancing up, Skyfire was somewhat confident that he’d be able to pick out Rollers alt-mode from the rest – his colors and size alone should be specific enough.

Now that he was out of traffic, the last traces of mild annoyance had thankfully worked themselves out of his systems and he found he was eager to both meet up with the other mech again and to have his company for the trip. Skyfire really didn’t get out this way often enough and despite the fact that the area consisted mostly of fairly standard industrial institutions, it didn’t mean that there wasn’t anything interesting to see.

[bigfriendlyroller]

The further Roller went, the closer he got to where he was meeting up with Skyfire, the less chaotic the traffic got. It quieted down, and it didn’t seem like many mechs were headed in the same direction as him. Instead, they were going the opposite way, leaving the area. Even the crowds of mechs walking became less and less, until there were only a couple handfuls per block, milling around and coming in and out of businesses.

He was fairly certain he could see Skyfire standing off to the side up ahead, with his bright white paint, wings and height. It didn’t seem as if the other mech had noticed him yet, so he sent off a quick message as he began to approach.
