“Whhhoooaaaaaaa! Hi mister robot!”  The truck had been spotted by the smol, who watched him from behind the bars of the playground. She’d seen them on the news a lot, and other kids had hurried over to stare.

          “unless you see any of those little fluffy things that i missed, i’m perfectly fine.”

sentinel’s certainly in a better mood than he was before, with the factory being nice and quiet for a change.  he’s cleaned up, able to handle patrols without incident  (besides the usual collection of traffic violations)  and he hasn’t needed to watch his step since the incident.

... but he does notice after a moment how tired and anxious optimus looks.  with their interactions having been mostly brief until recently, it’s not a sight he’s used to.  he raises an eye ridge and asks:  “... what’s up with you?”

There’s chittering for a brief moment, before Blackarachnia spits out a large web at Sentinel’s entire face.

“Me? Causing trouble? Optimus, I’m insulted. If anything, Sentinel’s the one that’s making trouble for little ol’ me.” For good measure, Sentinel’s getting another facefull of web. 

He did start it, afterall.

Oh dear, he shouldn't laugh, but Sentinel makes quite the sight. "Do you need a hand with that Sentinel?" There's feathers all down his back and in his seams. It will take him hours to get clean by himself.

          sentinel shoots optimus a glare.  oh, there’s a part of him that’d love the help--  probably the same part of him that had gone easy on the brat up to this point because of optimus.  but sentinel’s patience is a short fuse, and the flame has made it into the bomb.

“what i’d like,”  sentinel snarls, jabbing a feather-covered finger into optimus’ chest,  “is for you to keep a leash on your tag-a-longs!  i’ve tried being nice, and this is the thanks i get?”

growling and grumbling, sentinel marches off towards the washracks.  he’d rather take the hours of alone time--  he’ll probably need it to calm down, too.

          under the cut for length.

                    Send a 💖 and I’ll tell you what a relationship would be like with my character   /   @herocoded​

How likely they are to enter a relationship with them:

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10

          optimus is one of few people who can look past sentinel’s many...  many...  many flaws.  and, after 50 years of repressed grief, sentinel wants to try and make it so that he doesn’t have to look past them.

Would they…

Make the first move? Yes | No Say “I love you” first? Yes | No Cheat on them? Yes | No Be the jealous type? Yes | No Plan the dates? Yes | No Initiate the first kiss? Yes | No Remember anniversaries? Yes | No

BOLD WHAT APPLIES:

Their Relationship Is:

friends to lovers | rivals to lovers | enemies to lovers | still just enemies | mutual pining | star crossed lovers | old married couple | perpetual honeymoon phase | stable and boring | stable but not boring | secret lovers | best friends hiding their feelings | and they were roommates | friends with benefits | coworkers avoiding HR | one-sided affection | weird sexual tension | it’s complicated | toxic relationship | a secret affair | an actual dumpster fire | other

         very slowburn, much gay.  but they’re adorable as hell once they actually stop being idiots and get together.

PUBLIC Displays of Affection:

hand holding | kiss on the hand | kiss on the cheek | kiss on the forehead | kiss on the lips |  cuddling | hugging | affectionate messages or comments | pet names | pictures together | no displays of affection

          at least, at first.  sentinel hasn’t dated since losing elita, but more importantly, he’s very protective of his reputation and standing in the eyes of the rest of the elite guard.  if they found out he’s dating a repair-bot, he’d be a laughingstock.  however, on earth, he’d gradually start to be more comfortable being openly affectionate with optimus.  ... and then back away again when they’re on cybertron, though depending on how comfortable he’s gotten with their relationship on earth, he might still be willing to be at least a little affectionate.

PRIVATE Displays of Affection:

hand holding | kiss on the hand | kiss on the cheek | kiss on the forehead | kiss on the lips |  cuddling | hugging | affectionate messages or comments | pet names | pictures together | no displays of affection

          with elita, sentinel was playing the macho man, and he was a cadet--  he had no concerns for his career at that point, at least not insofar as keeping up appearances.  thus, public and private displays of affection were equal.  but with optimus, he’s more conservative in public...  and then in private, optimus is getting ~2050 years of repressed affection all at once.

Do they stay together?

yes, this is endgame | yes but someone is gonna die tragically | something is keeping them apart | they part ways as friends | they part ways as enemies | they’re on-again-off-again | they have a super messy breakup | it was just a fling | other

         you can tear this ship from my cold, dead hands

BONUS

What terrible pet names would they give each other?

          sentinel’s not much for pet names, he’s not good at coming up with them.  he’s not good with words or emotions in general, actually.  he’s much better at showing his affection through action, and given the opportunity to do so, he’s very loving.

herocoded asked:   🍸- you know what to do

          this was all blackarachnia’s fault.  she was the one who brought up the idea of getting blasted together, probably because she wanted an excuse to drink and she’d not done it in a while.  she’d also been the one to goad sentinel on when he was ready to stop, and he kept going to defend his pride from her.

now he was well into being wasted--  not quite yet blackout drunk, but certainly far from sober.  unable to sit up straight, he’d instead started leaning to the side, right up against optimus.

mm.  handsome, heroic optimus...

sentinel plonked his head right onto optimus’ shoulder, wrapping his arms around optimus’.  for being a washout repair ‘bot, all that manual labour and all this hard work on earth must’ve done optimus some favours build-wise.  built ford-tough, or something...  that seemed like an organic term.  he’d been on this gross weird planet for too long.

then again, it wasn’t so bad.  with the processor buzz of engex, it was hard to complain too much about the mission assignment when it meant reuniting with his old friends.

“did you get an upgrade before you crashed here?”  sentinel asks, sounding somewhat dopey.  “i kinda noticed during the, uh, headmaster incident...  you’re stronger than i remember you being.”

“Optimus, you’re a classless clown. Barbeque sauce is disgusting. I have no idea how Sari stomachs the rancid stuff. Teriyaki sauce, however, is amazing. Using it on various limbs does sound appetising...”

Don’t worry, she’s not planning to eat anyone. Yet.
