Yandere For You Gtridel
reminisceI guess I have to describe myself? (I’ve never done a matchup before) Let’s see… She/her pronouns, Asexual but open to relationships. I don’t know what my sign is, so we’ll have to skip that.
Freckles and short Auburn hair (though I like to dye it other colors whenever I’m feeling particularly stressed). Kind of on the chubby side. I have a desire to be affectionate/nurturing towards everyone? But due to some childhood trauma, I’m constantly afraid that I’m bothering people, so I also have a tendency to shut down/isolate myself before I accidentally annoy anyone (I’m working on getting better about this). I like to draw, listen to music, read, and watch movies in my spare time.

It starts as a crush. Tailgate knows you have someone in your heart, but you’re so nice to him, to Cyclonus that he starts to wonder if ~they could be the one for you. When Ratchet leaves he sees how hurt you are. You help everyone and are there for anyone needing your attention, but there’s a sparkle gone from your eyes and it’s replaced by longing.
Despite hurting, you’re so kind and nice to Tailgate and Cyclonus, that the minibot can’t help but develope harder, more solid feelings towards you. Maybe he could be what Ratchet was to you? Tailgate tries to bring you with him to Swerve’s bar to spend time with him and Cyclonus and you agree because you’re their friend, but this is the first step for Tailgate’s crush for you to grow.
He sees how you start to isolate yourself out of sadness and he can’t allow that to happen to you. So he asks you to spend time with him, playing the lonely card on you and you take the bate like it’s your lifeline.
Tailgate is very eager when it comes to you and everyone can tell it. When you two talk he is like a young spark fresh out of the field of sparks. But Tailgate was made cold and almost immediately ended down underground. He can’t handle all these feelings for you and it’s taking an unhealthy approach.
He starts to seek you out exclusively and you open up for him because Tailgate is kind and loving, but you fail to see how he starts to wedge himself everywhere in your schedule. Cyclonus sees this and approaches Tailgate about it, but the minibot fails to see the wrongness in his actions. He is just being a good friend for you so why is Cyclonus telling him he is doing the wrong thing?
When Getaway comes in the picture he makes promises to Tailgate, made up ways how he could win you over if he just did this and that and poked around Megatron’s helm with long needless. Tailgate doesn’t really understand how those things connect, but he is sold when Getaway says that you will fall into Tailgate’s arms after what he does to Megatron.
Things don’t go as planned, there is a maniac killer on the loose and Tailgate thinks Cyclonus is dead because he shielded him from all those gunfires. Tailgate gains superpowers and takes care of the maniac killer and Ultra Magnus captures Getaway and all his accomplishes so you should be safe again, right?
You’re there when Cyclonus and Tailgate try to mend their relationship and Tailgate is sure that you are the glue holding them together but Cyclonus doesn’t see it that way. He tells Tailgate that your organic spark belongs to someone else and poor Tailgate can’t see it. Not until they’re stranded on Necroworld and you see Ratchet for the first time in months.
Tailgate can feel his spark shattering when he sees you smile at Ratchet and there is such longing in your eyes and the minibot hasn’t seen you look anyone like that, even him. Cyclonus can’t help, he is busy making sure they will all survive DJD’s oncoming attack, but that’s when Tailgate sees it first time himself how you hold Ratchet to you like he would have held you.
Tailgate sees past his love and strives for your happiness and the first step on that is to make sure you all survive and it’s you that Tailgate thinks in the middle of the battle. Not everyone survives, you lost Ravage and Skids, but you’re alive. You’re not in Tailgate’s arms but in Ratchet’s and as much as that hurts him, Tailgate is happy for you.
Cyclonus approaches Tailgate after everything and tells him how he made a grown-up decision and is proud of him. The words take time to register and make the minibot happy, but when Ratchet approaches Tailgate to thank him, he is confused. Why? Ratchet tells the little bot how you told him how Tailgate was always there for you and Ratchet appreciates it.
There is a hint in the old doctor’s speech that he knows Tailgate’s feelings for you were deeper than friendship, but he doesn’t bring it up and neither does Tailgate. After receiving the doctor’s gratitude, Tailgate lets go and slumps against Cyclonus. The former Decepticon holds Tailgate close like minibot would have held you if given the chance.
“If you love her you let her go,” Cyclonus says and Tailgate doesn’t fully understand the meaning behind the words, but if they’re coming from Cyclonus then they must be right.
