GASP im posting something that isn’t Jazzprowl!!! WHO AM I!! but fr here’s another one of my favourite ships 🙏🙏 I have a bunch of lore for the two of them as well as Blurr and Rodimus so I’ll put one of that ore down here for ya to read if you’re interested 🙏🙏
The tldr of Hound and Mirage’s relationship is that they’re hopelessly pining for each other in a way that’s so open and obvious it’s driving everyone else on base crazy😭 like, these two are flirting so often that the team just stares as if they have found a unicorn or something, there’s even betting ring going on to see who will confess first and when 🙏
🌸For the actual lore now🌸
Mirage grew up in an INCREDIBLY privileged background. He was expected to act and look a certain way due to this status, and because of this, if he were to choose a partner he would need to choose someone from the same cast (Cybertronians don’t typically get into romantic relationships, so a relationship would already be out of the ordinary, as a result it’s super important that he would sen someone in the same cast to meditate this already taboo practice). Obviously, once the war happened all semblance of cast and social ranks were thrown out the window due to the war effort, but Mirage desperately held on to them for any sense of normalcy. Early into the war, Mirage fell in love with Hound, but because Hound was of a lower class before the war even started Mirage didn’t consider him as an option. Hound equally had feelings for Mirage, but he recognized the importance of cast in Mirage’s eyes so he accepted that he would never be able to pursue him. The two mutual pining only grew for each other, but Hound never made a move as he didn’t wanna cross that boundary. Mirage’s classist mindset eats at him, and even though he openly flirts and is close to Hound he is too scared to pass that final step to make the relationship official as it would except that class does not in fact matter. (Dw mirage gets his shit together and confesses but he lowkey breaks down when he does)
