I'm going to the Pit. In a rickety slagging cargo skiff.

*shoves a pillow on his desk in between collisions* Uh, Roddy-dear? Sweetheart? Pookie? If you're going to hell in the proverbial handbasket, where do you think all the fangirls are going?

*pets him comfortingly, trying not to giggle*

If the worst happens, there's a hell of a lot of fic with Optimus and Megatron to even the odds a little. You and Galvatron are a pretty new thing in comparison.

*flails* This does not make me feel better!

*sighs and rests forehead on the pillow* I just hope he assumes it is just the fangirls. If it gets back to him about Galvatron and me I think I really will need to die.

Well...at least you'll have us for company? 'Course that might well be what's driving you dolally in the first place, so I don't know how much help that'll be. *sheepish grin*

*...hugs him tight* If he even begins to give you grief, ex-Autobot leader or not, I'm whacking him with the frying pan. Don't make me give you the love-conquers-all-look-at-what-the-truce-has-done-for-us speech.

Never mind the fact that I'm now required to mention that Galvatron's growling something like 'he's ashamed to be seen with me now?!' *winces*

[giri_guy]

*chuckles weakly* I know, I know. And... I'm not going to stop, okay? No matter how much the thought of his disapproval hurts. I've come too far to stop now.

...*dismayed* He saw all that? Argh...

"Really, if it upsets you that much, I'm sorry I was laughing so hysterically at you two that I couldn't even talk."

[giri_guy]

*sighs* It wasn't you, Starscream. Mostly.

[attair_al_fada]

Starscream pats Rodimus on the shoulder.

"It probably won't make you feel better, but meeting Optimus Prime again and listening to him spout all that Autobot propaganda crap that he unfortunately believes made me even happier that you're Prime now. You're not blinded by your own bad assumptions--you look for the truth of things, and you're pragmatic," Starscream points out.

"The only peace Optimus Prime would have accepted would be one where the Decepticons were wiped out or unconditionally surrendered--and were disarmed and/or re-programmed afterwards. That's the future Waspinator comes from, by the way. Optimus never could accept us as we are, 'warts and all', as the humans say. You do." A smile plays at the corner of Starscream's mouth.

Rodimus props his head up on his fist, watching Starscream with dim, weary optics.

"I came online practically worshipping him, Starscream. I'm not sure I'll ever stop believing in him. But... all I can do is the best I can with what I know now, and what I have - my friends and allies." He smiles then. "You included, and I am grateful for that."
