12. Your muse catches mine out whilst they’re sneaking away all the sweets
"And just where do you think you're going with all that energon?" Speedlight asked with surprising sweetness. The dagger pressed to Getaway's throat cables and the scattered condensed energon cubes in the small hiding hole they'd wound up in after that last excursion made the situation significantly more grim from Getaway's perspective.
"Moving them to a safer location?" He said with a grin in his optics and a tilt to his head. Play it up, play it up. "Ya know, for safe keeping?"
"Uh-hmm." Speedlight giggled cutely. "And that safe place wasn't going to be your tanks was it?" The dagger pressed just a little into Getaway's cables.
"Nope!" Getaway said easily, pushing his instincts to bat the knife away and incapacitate Speedlight to the side. "Just to the quarters for easier access and tighter security."
"Hmm." Speedlight hummed. "Then I guess you wouldn't mind some help moving all those cubes, would you." It was a statement, not a question. Still Speedlight withdrew his knife and Getaway's frame relaxed just a fraction. Speedlight bent down and picked up one little cube and popped it in his mouth.
"Get to work," Speedlight said through a mouthful of sweet sweet energon. "And maybe I'll think of sharing." With that, Speedlight picked up another cube and ate it. Getaway grumbled darkly from his slumped position on the wall.
Fragger. He thought acidly.
