Leave a “Tell Me” in my ask, and I’ll write a drabble about my character confessing something to yours.
This was it. This was the day he gathered his courage and told Drift everything before he couldn’t anymore. Raising a servo to his face, he watched as it flickered in and out of view. He’d been spontaneously disappearing for months, back and forth between realities and he never knew how much he missed on the Lost Light.
So might as well get the confession in and go to the Crystal City, right? Venting harshly through parts that didn’t work or just weren’t there, he walked through the corner of Drift’s quarters--
And immediately saw another bot.
Frozen, Bumblebee’s optics were locked Drift and Rodimus. He couldn’t quite make out the words, the two were conversing quietly. Privately. He shouldn’t be here, he should go back through the wall.
But he saw it. He saw that fleeting little kiss and felt what was left of his spark shatter. Then, it was dark. Broken spires and trashed streets, debris suspended in the air as the omnipresent storm grew overhead. Not a storm, a black hole. A singularity. Walking across chipped metal, past unreadable street signs and shattered glass. It’s ending, it’s crumbling, they’re dying dying dying
“Sorry, I think I...you know. What were we talking about?”
“You had something to say?”
Bumblebee blinked, looking up at Drift’s concerned fascia. Even if Drift wanted another, the mech still cared for now. And when he stopped, then Bee could leave. It would be ok for him.
“I...want to go to the Crystal City, to save it and me.”
Drift smiled, bright and amazing. Yes, this would be ok for now.
