“Join me for a nice scrub down? I found some of that wax that you always use on me. I’m terrified that ratchet is going to turn the corner and see me coughing up dust and order me to the medbay.” He hated when ratchet ‘detailed’ his systems. He never missed a micrometer. It made him squirm and only made the medic more inclined to fuss at him for every speck of dirt or mud that was produced.

He coughed again, this time turning away from mirage and his energon.

“A scrub down?“ He hums and haws, looking away as he obviously considers it, his cube danging from the fingertips on his left hand. Poor Hound is left waiting, hacking up dirt and sticks and whatever other Earth junk he’s gotten into.

Finally, he downs the last dregs of energon from his cub, squeezing it to dissipate it into nothingness. “I suppose I can help a good friend like you. The sacrifices I make—you’ll owe me one.“

If you look closely you can see hound half laying over a tabletop in the rec room. He could use an assist. @mudandholograms

Mirage stops beside the table, looking down at Hound quietly. He sips from his cube. Hmmm. He stands there for a looooong moment before gently poking him on the helm.

Taptaptap.

“I think my recharge deficit caught up to me.”

His energon is dusty and there’s a leaf in it. Too bad he doesn’t care. The leaf gets flicked out of it and he swirls the cube before simply downing it. Ratchet could scold him later for it. And for the dust riddling his vents….

He needed a scrub down so bad…

“It’s rare to see you simply hanging around m'raj… Got any plans?”

“Oh, you poor thing.” Mirage doesn’t look all that sympathetic, sipping from his cube and watching Hound over the rim of his glass clearly amused optics. “I was just passing through and saw you so uncouthly thrown across the table, darling. But no, I’ve got nothing to do.”

Taptaptap.

The mech jolts at the taps, suching in a sudden vent that has him coughing to clear it. He has a cube of untouched energon next to him that had been on his list to drain and to be followed up by a trip to the wash racks, but his recharge deficit had caught up to him first.

His vents blast a small cloud of dust free along with a leaf or three and he's looking up at the other.

"Mirage?"

Mirage leans away from the little cloud of dust and leaves, shielding his energon by raising it above his head. Once Hound seems finished he lowers it again to sip.

“Hello, Hound. Why are you recharging on the table?“

"...When did we get a dog?" 〔 @notgitanes 〕

"Now that's just rude." He's amused however.

"Don't you recognize me? Same hound just a different shape." He's going to plop down at the others peds, laying his helm on them.

“Oh! Hound?” Well that’s just weird! Mirage sinks down to sit on his knees, petpetting the literal hound that is Hound. “Did the Decepticons do this? At least you look to be a fine breed.“

Hound laughed.

"Honestly I'm not sure. At least now I can tangle on ravages level."

Hey that feels good. He's going to lean into the petpetting.

"Wow m'raj, such a flattering way to comment a mech." He's laughing.

Oh, well, don’t mind him continuing to pet and maybe ruffle the ears. “Well, darling, I’m not going to tell you you’re ill-bred.“

For Shawn Hawkins (Mirage’s voice actor)

I can pose, if need be.

what if the Dinobots could ALL fly?

“Then they would be Dragonbots!“

"Sunbathing?" Hound asks, sounding remarkably similar to the dogs from Up. (@breatheinthedust)

“Yes~ Up on the roof of the Ark.” Everyone loves Sunbathing, even Gears!

#breatheinthedust #Autobots are just lizards cjange my mind

daringherring replied to your post “Do you think Jazz would be mad if I went and sunbathed for a while?”

Mirage, baby, when do I ever bring work to a playdate?

I guess I’ll meet you on the roof of the Ark, then.

#daringherring #and then the Autobots lazed around in the sun #like a bunch of iguanas

Do you think Jazz would be mad if I went and sunbathed for a while?

#I can bring Hound and Bumblebee with me #Jazz can come too so long as he doesn't bring work!

“You’d absolutely hate being a mail truck,” Hound agrees, “but I dunno. A golf cart could be fun - or maybe I’m thinking of something else.” He snaps his fingers. “ATVs, I’m thinking of ATVs. Golf carts… would be fun in the short-term, I guess, but I’d go crazy stuck on clipped grass like that eventually.”

Oh he would most definitely not enjoy being a small, crude little truck. Best not to even contemplate it. “Oh, I don’t know. If you were a golf cart you might see one of those large reptiles. Alligeeters?“

Hound chuckled a little. “Most golf courses don’t have alligators. They usually don’t have fish in their ponds either cause the golf balls would hit them. Maybe I’d see a couple ducks or some geese - a fox or a deer if I’m lucky.” He hums softly. “No, I really am happy with my alt mode as it is.”

“Oh.” Well, he wasn’t an expert on golf course habitats and the wildlife therein. “Well I’m happy too, it suits you. And—“ Because Mirage knew from experience, being so low-profile in his own vehicle mode. “You don’t have to worry about pebbles.“

#breatheinthedust #mirage: i am a refined mech #also mirage: not bothering to learn the names of common animals

That’s cute~

#I see you two #free entertainment

Tracks is basically that rich guy on Gilligan's Island. (@breatheinthedust)

“Well they’re both certainly insufferable enough.” Ah, yes, because no one else in this conversation could EVER be such a thing—no sir.

breatheinthedust:

“He has been getting better,” Hound pointed out.

“I suppose~ He has that human friend too, I think that helps.”

breatheinthedust

“Raoul?” Hound nods. “It definitely helps that he has someone he actually cares about.” He pauses, tilts his head, then chuckles at himself. “Alright, I concede your point.”

“Of course, because I’m right.” And he might be laying that on a bit thick. “It’s sort of sweet though—so long as that charming little hooligan doesn’t try to carjacking me.”

breatheinthedust

“I’m sure he won’t, as long as he sees your Autobot badge. But if he did, I’d take it as a compliment. According to Sparkplug, your alt-mode’s one-of-a-kind - super valuable.”
