Another silly drabble...
This takes place way after "Determined." They're human, in case you can't tell.
Embarrassed
Bumblebee’s face, Scorponok decided, was an interesting shade of red.
He had never seen it quite that color before; it was as bright as the flames that leapt from the ant’s weapon. It was interesting…Organic bodies were a lot more expressive than their usual ones.
He had seen other humans do it, when they were being affectionate with one another. And he had figured “why not?” He liked showing Bumblebee affection, after all. They were friends…And Bumblebee looked after him.
Bumblebee had sputtered indignantly, caught totally off guard, and flailed a little. Scorponok felt his embarrassment through their link, white hot and instantaneous, but wasn’t quite sure what he was upset about.
“You don’t do things like that!” Bumblebee admonished, his face hidden behind a hand.
Why?
“Why?!” The word flew across their link, edged with humiliation, before Bee could stop it. It was as if he couldn’t believe he had to explain this. “You’re supposed to do that with some one you love…” He mumbled.
Scorponok’s face lit up and he pounced on Bumblebee, thin arms around his neck, head on his shoulder. Love! He beamed up at the Autobot, expression one of childish glee, Safe home happy safe together love!
Bumblebee turned even more red.
“It’s not the same…”
Scorponok grinned innocently, laughing to himself. He was only teasing; he loved to play games. And imagine…
All that over one little kiss.
