RIP Quick Man. Not only was the poor DWN unfortunate enough to catch Guts Man when he was fully armoured and just off work, but this meant that Guts Man’s first reaction was to grab up the DWN in a Super Arm-powered hug that was only a few decimals away from being harmful. With this hug, the giant DLN even spun around once, grinning widely from audio receptor to audio receptor.
“It’s about damn TIME you and Rap hooked up!! I’m so HAPPY for the two of you!! Do you know how long I’ve wanted you two to get together?! I swear- every time you two are in a room together, it’s like a romantic movie waiting to happen! Rock’s been in support of it, too! We may have badgered Rap a bit too much at the wrong times, admittedly, but who cares– it’s paid off now!!”
Once done his monster hug, Guts Man held out Quick Man like the DWN was a small child being bounced in the air, and not only would he be greeted with the previously-mentioned grin, but a scary brightness in the foreman’s optics. He’s excited, Quickers. Pray for salvation.
And it’s very lucky that the unfortunate DWN had dropped by after a run, therefore was still in his armour-- Being in civilian mode and being hugged by the already enormous Guts Man while the Super Arm was active just might have crushed the poor ‘bot in red where he stood. Quick flinches when Gutsy reaches for him, wincing as he’s picked up and spun around like a rag doll. It’s a good thing the DLN probably wasn’t paying too much attention to Quick’s face, or for an instant he might have registered outright fear.
After all, Rap was one thing. Rap was not only his boyfriend (!!), but his best friend-- They’d been friends for years. The entire Quint incident would be easier to forgive for him, but... Well. Quint was at Light Labs recently enough. Had Guts Man heard the full story...? Had the rest of the family...? Would they be as forgiving as Rap, or hold it against him? There was just no way of knowing, and such a thing admittedly made the DWN nervous.
...So when Gutsy starts congratulating him on his relationship status, the DWN is a little confused and flustered. He’d been expecting Guts to crush him to death, not... Spin him around and ramble about how he and Mega Twerp were heads of the S.S. Rap/Ree! He didn’t think Rap would have told Guts so soon, either, since he kept ruining the moment before...!
“I-- Uh-- Thanks?” He stammers out, feeling a little dizzy from the spin-- Ans not liking that look in Guts Man’s eyes. “Can-- y’ let me down now, bro? ‘M not a huge fan of heights.”
Well that, and he’s not sure how close he wants to be to the DLN should he say something wrong by mistake... How exactly does one socialize with their boyfriend’s family, again?
