1.2k words of pre-relationship Transformers IDW Whirl/Seacrash in an AU with the duplicate Lost Light crew after the series (Seacrash on the Lost Light, in other words)
prompt/title was chosen from this post!
dared to kiss
“Truth or dare?”
Whirl, seated in his own chair turned backwards with his arms crossed and resting on top, perked up, “C’mon, shortstack! Hit me with the most daring dare you can think of!”
Tailgate took a moment to think it over. He glanced around the drink-covered table, the small group of mechs gathered had briefly fell silent.
Seacrash, the newest ex-Decepticon addition to the crew, quietly waited as well. Swerve and Rewind had explained the rules and significance of the unfamiliar Earth-born activity of “Truth or Dare”. Their initial impression was nothing more than the fact it was a frivolous game, no different from various similar pastimes they’ve seen and experienced while off-duty throughout the war.
They’re not particularly intrigued by the way the two smaller ‘bots tried to make it sound more enticingly scandalous than it truly was. Still, being invited and sharing drinks with this particular group of the ship’s crew made it worthwhile to sit through the game.
"'Kay, how about you..." Tailgate tapped a digit on the table's surface to feign contemplation, "...kiss Seacrash." he then pointed to the larger mech in question.
There were a couple of dry chuckles, but overall a quiet reaction was all that followed. Mostly due to the fact everyone already had at least a few drinks in them. No one noticed the way Seacrash's clawed digits tightened ever so slightly around their drink container.
"You're joking, right?" Whirl asked, sounding unimpressed by the challenge, "What kinda weakaft dare is that?!"
“Ah-ah!” Tailgate countered with a held up digit, “You didn’t let me finish.”
“Better be somethin’ off-the-walls crazy-“
Tailgate cutted in to continue, speaking each word slower, “I dare you to kiss Seacrash while straddling its lap.”
Whirl made a show of his nonchalance, “That’s it, TeeGee? You disappoint me.”
First Aid groaned a couple of chairs over, “You’re asking for this to turn into another Whirl versus Seacrash free-for-all, Tailgate. And we're wanting to conserve our supplies in the med bay.”
A few more groans of agreement echoed.
“Hey, we're right here." Seacrash spoke up, though they're far from being truly offended.
"Yeah, you say that like I'm kicking their aft on the daily. It's only been...what? Four or five times? That's rookie numbers for the likes of me."
If Seacrash could have rolled their deep violet optic, they would have, "Oh, please. Keep telling yourself that, Whirl. I barely feel anything you throw at me."
Whirl picked up the nearest cube that didn't belong to him, "Oh, yeah?! I bet you'll feel this-"
"Hey!" Rewind managed to swipe his pilfered cube out of Whirl's claw, "C'mon, you guys. Stop stalling because you're scared and just do it so we can move on." Chromedome quietly laughed and gave him an amused nudge in the arm.
Both Whirl and Seacrash immediately glare in his direction in eerie synchronization, "Scared?!" they repeated, also with eerie synchronization.
"Yeah, you two probably would rather wreck my bar - again - to back out of this stupid dare." Swerve added, praying in the back of his mind to Primus and maybe every other higher being he can think of that it'll successfully defuse the escalating altercation.
"Fine!" Whirl acquiesced, surprisingly. He stood up from his seat, "Since you guys are obviously horny to see us smashing our kiss-challenged faces together. Freaks." he straightened up, "Actually, that's another thing. You making fun of us, TeeGee? Knowing we can't-"
"You're stalling!" Seacrash interrupted in a louder voice.
When Whirl turned to it, Seacrash scooted its seat back to the point where its legs were no longer hidden under the table, "Get to it."
Whirl wished he could narrow his optic at their so-called invitation. If only.
"Don't tell me what to do." he objected, though in a slightly less heated voice.
Without any warning, Whirl leaped onto the table's surface. Immediately, everyone hurriedly grabbed their drinks and moved further away from both the table and Seacrash's proximity as Whirl approached them.
He stopped at the table's edge in front of them, angling his head off to the side of his protruded chassis to stare them down. Seacrash merely met his focused gaze with its own, spreading its legs ever so slightly and had the gall to invitingly pat one of its large thighs with a claw.
Rather than carefully climb down, Whirl opted to simply jump off the short distance and managed to land right onto Seacrash's legs. Both mechs grunted at the impact, but neither one showed true pain from it.
The rest of their company watched in enthralled - and cautious - silence.
Whirl shifted his long legs to comfortably straddle close to the junction of Seacrash's waist. The latter didn't fail to notice the feeling of Whirl not-so-subtly rolling his own hips against it just once, but it said nothing.
Instead, Seacrash's claws made their way to settle on Whirl's waist and against the curve of his back, "So you don't try to back out of your own dare." Seacrash said to him in a lower voice once they tightened their grip on him.
"I ain't a coward." Whirl countered with indignance, awkwardly wrapping his own arms around the thick of Seacrash's neck as best as he could with their frames pressed flush together.
Whirl tilted his helm upward, "Guess we'll just smash our helms together so they can laugh at our lack of mouths." his voice is uncharacteristically quiet.
Seacrash looked down to lock its gaze with his, "I'm waiting." it challenged.
"I can't quite reach all the way, in case you haven't noticed. Don't be so intimidated." Whirl argued, having already craned his neck as far as he could manage.
Seacrash would have flattened its expression at that if it could, "Far from it, shortstack." they mocked him with his own nickname for Tailgate he used earlier.
The next flurry of events remained a conflicted recounting by the rest of the participants that night. Everyone couldn't agree on who threw the first helmbutt, but all they did know of was the violent smash sounding from the two mechs' helms colliding against each other right before it looked like they were actually going to attempt a kiss somehow.
From that point, Whirl and Seacrash wasted no time to begin swinging at the other. Whirl searched the table for something to throw, but gave up on that when he failed to grab anything and elected to leap at the larger mech with a yell of fury instead.
-
Later, once Seacrash and Whirl had long since been detained and hauled away to the ship's brig by Ultra Magnus, and after Swerve let the pair know they were both banned from his bar until further notice, said bot stood up from yet another job of straightening up his trashed place of business, "We need a new rule for our hangouts: Absolutely do not invite those two to the same occasion. Ever."
Tailgate looked up from his own task of picking up shattered drink containers, "Hey, it was a worth a shot to get them to kiss out their tension instead for once."
