I just found out my gecko of two years passed at some point within the past week. I bet MCB Dexter would be really good at consoling his partner after a loss. This is the first time I’m losing a long-time pet. I’m planning on keeping his skull after our isopods clean the carcass. He was my world, and I’m not ready to let go yet…
Love you Revel!
I’m so sorry to hear that, hun. It’s never easy to lose a pet.

• Hearing peds, you knew it was only a matter of time until one of your guys came looking for you. Looking up, you relax when you realize it’s Dexter, not someone who’s going to try and harass you into cheering up. “Hey,” you call out and his head tips, optics studying you before he inclines his head in a nod and he eases his massive bulk down to sit beside you in the grass against the back of the building. ‘Blue Cop is looking for you,’ he murmurs and you draw your legs up against yourself.
• “I just needed some quiet,” you say and he hesitates, starting to get back up, but then you’re laying a hand on his servo. “You don’t have to go,” you add as he stares down at you. Venting softly, he relaxes again, but he can’t tear his optics away from your tiny hand on his. Rumbling in surprise when you slowly lean to rest your head against his arm, he still can’t believe he’d fought so hard against you sealing him. Had thought it would be a shackle, that he’d lose his sense of self. His free will.
• “I know I should be able to get over this,” you say, inhaling slowly. Know it was a pet, not a person, but you keep thinking about it. And you startle when he mass shifts, an arm slowly curling around you to tuck you into his side. ‘You’re allowed to take as much time as you need,’ he says and you smile despite yourself. Can feel the faint thrum of his internal systems spilling into you, the sensation familiar and welcome.
• You’re silent, cheek resting against him and he vents softly. “Did the others make you feel like you shouldn’t be upset?” He asks and you go still. ‘It’s not like that,’ you finally say, but that silence was telling. Makes him wonder if Mega Trucker had scoffed at you. Said something off hand without considering how you’d take it. Knows the others wouldn’t hurt you on purpose, but sometimes a couple of them don’t think about how the things they say might come across.
• Embarrassed, you force a smile you don’t really feel. And he rests a big hand on top of your head, rubbing your hair until it’s a mess. Laughing despite yourself as his servos keep rubbing your hair, you duck and lean away from him, but when you smile it’s genuine. “Want to see the kittens?” He asks and you huff out an almost laugh. ‘Kittens? As in plural?’ You ask and he rumbles, standing and just picking you up like you weigh nothing. ‘How many are we talking?’
Hiii Revel! Hope everything is going good 💕 is it possible to get MCB dexter with a reader that loves gardening/preserving nature or something like that? (I have a feeling I'm going to be the one asking for alot of MCB 💀)
🤣 no worries. I like Dexter and his hoard of stray cats that he’s definitely named every single one of

• Exhaling slowly as you reach to gently wiggle a marigold out of its little plastic container, there’s something relaxing about getting your hands dirty. And a huge hand reaches past you, the hand trowel ridiculously tiny pinched between his servos as Dexter carefully digs you another hole. While all the bots had wandered over to see what you were doing when you’d started, they’d all quickly lost interest. Except him. Maybe he finds this soothing, too.
• Watching you sprinkle some potting soil out of a bag into the hole before planting the flower, he leans slightly so you’re in the shade of his frame and you offer him a grateful smile. Enjoys this. Working side by side in companionable silence. And you’ve been at this for hours, sitting in the sun and emptying little container after container of flowers. Adding beauty to the hangar they call home. Reaching to make another hole while trying to not drop the tiny tool, you murmur ‘last one’ as you remove the plant and settle it in the hole, smoothing dirt around it.
• Stretching as your back aches, you wonder if you can sweet talk Phoenix Fire into watering everything for you without blasting the fragile plants into the dirt. Behind you, Dexter pushes to his peds and you start to follow. But your vision grays at the edges and you’re sitting back down hard in the grass, blinking at the head rush. “Are you okay?” Dexter asks, big hands reaching and optics concerned. You’re guessing you sat too long in the sun. Or maybe you need to eat something. Drinking some water wouldn’t hurt, either.
• “Yeah, I just need a minute. Stood up too fast,” you say with a smile like nothings wrong. But he’s reaching for you anyway, servos gently cupping around you and standing you up as you hang onto his hand. “Thanks for helping. It looks great,” you add. Is this normal? Something that happens if humans are immobile in the sun too long? Needs to ask Mega Ambler. You don’t seem concerned, though. Maybe it is just a human thing.
• “I prefer plants to concrete,” he murmurs as you take a step away from his servos and whatever that was has passed leaving only a disjointed, vaguely confused feeling in its wake. ‘Me, too. Oh, I need to show you bumblebee butts,’ you say, digging out your phone as he warily repeats ‘bumblebee butts,’ probably lost in trying to keep track of where your mind is. Finding a picture online, you hold it up and his big hand lands near you as he crouches to look at the screen and the flower, a chunky bee wedged inside, striped butt sticking out. ‘I like the flowers, but I love these guys. Cute, huh? They’re kind of you colored.’ And he rumbles softly, expression softening with amusement.
Edo, playing a video game: What's worse than a heartbreak?
Dexter's avatar, sadly looking under a car waving a cat toy : Stepping on a cat's tail and not being able to explain that you're sorry.
Riley: Stepping barefoot on the prongs of a power cord?
Edo: ......These two scenarios are a solid tie.
