I was Helping a Femme
@juneofdoom Day 14 What were you thinking?" Slurred Speech | Fight TW: drunk behaviors (Let me know if I should use a different warning)
Sideswipe likes going to human parties, though it's not as often as before the situation with Sentinel and N.E.S.T. was terminated. Now that the Autobots aren't hiding, Sideswipe has gone to the dance club and sometimes gets invited to parties. Now he's amazed there are femmes who'd invite strangers now that he's learned how many human mechs treat femmes. Optimus only warns Sideswipe to be careful, while Sunstreaker hates when Sideswipe goes to parties or the Dance Club. Sideswipe does drink both high-grade Energon and human alcohol. The only times he's been drunk have been in the base, but Sunstreaker doesn't think Sideswipe will avoid getting drunk at human parties, resulting in Sunstreaker picking Sideswipe up from the party. "I've had to drag your aft up to our room from the cafeteria; that's my limit!" Sunstreaker argues, "if you do anything stupid at a human party, you'll have to deal with Prowl and Optimus."
Sideswipe gets a beer from the cooler and finds humans to talk to. Often he's talking to the femmes. He's distracted that he doesn't drink one can quickly. Most of the time, he finishes the can before leaving the party four hours later. Sunstreaker finds it disgusting Sideswipe thinks human femmes keep him from drinking too much. Everything is fine for two hours until everyone hears a femme yelling. "No! Leave me alone!" Everyone notices she's talking to a clearly drunk mech. "Come on, ley's havw a little fun," the drunk man says. "No! You're drunk. I know what you mean by 'fun'!" "No, I'm npt. I'm fine." "Hey! She said to leave her alone, so get lost!" Sideswipe yells. "Bacm off; she's mine." The drunk guy stumbles as he walks toward Sideswipe. Once he reaches Sideswipe, he throws a punch. The others are amazed he landed a punch while drunk. "Fughr md." "No way, you're drunk." "Fughr md!" The drunk manages to punch Sideswipe again. "I warned you." Sideswipe punches the guy, resulting in the guy struggling to get his balance back. He punches the guy again, hoping to get him to back off. Though drunk and struggling to not fall on his ass, the drunk continues to fight. The fight is nothing more than a show, and it seems no one is interested in calling the police.
Until everyone hears sirens. Sideswipe knows he's screwed even if Prowl isn't one of the officers heading toward the scene. The drunk still tries to fight. No one else tries to leave the property. Quickly Sideswipe and the drunk are separated. The drunk is cuffed. "Hands up!" Prowl demands, aiming his taser at Sideswipe. Oh, frag. Sideswipe thinks. "What? Prowl, you know me -" "I said hands up!" Sideswipe does as he's told before Prowl tasers him. Prowl forces him out of the yard and into his car. The drunk is put in another police vehicle.
The drive to the station is silent. Sideswipe knows he's busted.
Sideswipe is shoved into an interrogation room. "Sit down!" Prowl yells and closes the door. Let me guess, you're drunk? Sunstreaker asks through the bond. No, a drunk aft wanted to frag a femme. Sorry for helping her!
Prowl returns in less than five minutes. "What were you thinking?!" "That an aft wanted to frag a femme who said to leave her alone. He wanted a fight." "You damn better hope he doesn't press charges. You are banned from going to parties or the Dacne Club! Let's go!" Prowl forces Sideswipe up and out of the room to the back entrance. He's forced into Prowl's car.
Prowl takes the cuffs off and shoves Sideswipe into his room. "I'll be talking to Optimus about the rest of your punishment!" Prowl yells and slams the door. "Nice going," Sunstreaker comments. "Shut up!" Sideswipe can easily assume he'll be assigned extra patrols and other work all because he was trying to help a femme.
