scenario: Bud really shouldn't have shown you what a 'Laser Pointer' was
drabble :3
Leobreaker was busy doing some heavy lifting at the base, getting supplies ready to deal with Megatron. He's definitely worried & maybe even a bit tired after having to chase Megatron and his cronies around the galaxy like this, Snarl is somewhere nearby moving boxes just like him. Leobraker takes a moment to just stand, admiring his work. A full stack of boxes, neatly out on top of each other are infront of him, they either contain energon or datapads to be sent back to Cybertron HQ and...
What is that?
The red dot on the floor nearby his hardwork catches his attention, he isn't sure why but his processor is fixed on it but it really, really has his optics glued onto the thing... Its oddly... hypnotizing. It moves a bit around but then goes back to its position! Leobreaker's interest is piqued. He has never felt this way before— This sudden urge to pounce and try to grab it. He couldn't help it, it was like instinct and he knows he looks stupid too!
There's a loud metallic clank as he lands on his front, he throws himself at the red point, his servos catching the spot as if he were a cat. Only to see that the spot is now... on his servo? It catches him off-guard and he tries to think what is could possibly be and... it moved! The red spot moved to about three feet away from him. The lion furrows his optical ridges, a look of determination passes his features as he tries once more to catch the spot.
And it moved away, again.
Long Haul was never a patient mech & neither is Leobraker. He grunts, frustrated. His red optics locking in on the red dot.
"I got you now."
He lunges at the spot... only for it to move away a second before he landed, causing him to slip up and crash against the wall infront of him. Leobraker is caught off-guard and groans at the impact, he isn't damaged but he did not expect that.
Nor does he expect the snickering... No, laughter! Someone's holding back a laugh! His audio receptors are keen enough to pick up on that, his helm moves up the stairs within the room and by the floor above, leaning against the railing you're laughing hard when his optics finally meets your frame.
Well, he's just going to hafta get up and give you a piece of his mind!
"HEY! WHAT GIVES? CAN'T A BOT WORK IN PEACE? DON'T YOU HAVE ANYTHING BETTER TO DO?" He approaches you, now standing at the bottom of the stair way as you're doubling down with laughter.
"You looked so stupid!" You can't help it, you have it all on video too! Oh, Bud is gonna love this! Maybe even Snarl—
"Oh, I'll show you stupid when I get up there!"
Welp... At least you got to test if that Earth things about cats liking laser pointers was real- Bud is teaching you a lot about human stuff.
This was for science... You just hope the very pissed off Leobraker sees it that way too-
I think that Snarl from Cybertron/Unicron Trilogy is Aromantic, but like in that way where he doesn't know it yet, okay? He just doesn't think about romance ever, but if Leobreaker or Scourge asked him out, he'd be like "okay" because he assumed that maybe his passionate feelings were romance? Oh, well. Does he ever figure it out? Good question.
