27th Transmission / 4th Wall Day~

[heavyweaponsbot]

... why is everyone suddenly watching films? And why is it loud on board?

What happened this time?

Comments

No he will be fine through SHEER WILLPOWER.

[He makes a rather disappointed sound and sulks, crouching down.

Yeah, he knows you'll be all right, especially with Ratchet around. ...doesn't mean he doesn't want to teach that jerkface not to mess with the Autobots.]

HE BETTER BE.

[heavyweaponsbot]

[He gives him another shove. C'mon, 'Bee. No sulking. That's his shtick.]

If you are going to start... crying, was it? I am walking out of here. You will make me rust.

[TOTALLY TEASING YOU, LITTLE BUDDY.]

HE ALWAYS IS

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

[And of course, what does Bumblebee do?

"Cry." Or at least, his adapted form of it.]

GOOD.

[heavyweaponsbot]

What--stop that! Going to get me--ugh! Wet!

[Now he shoves at him, swearing in words best left unprinted.]

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

['Bee cuts it out, shoulders shaking with repressed laughter. Oh Ironhide, you are too easy. You really are.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

[The laughing's better than the worrying, at least. He reaches over to bonk 'Bee on the head - lightly!]

Yeah, yeah... laugh. Go on. Laugh at my rusting old armor.

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

[Bumblebee does a quick scan before pinging Ironhide on their shortwave frequency (of course, "shortwave" for Autobots makes walkie-talkie distance look like a bad joke) to "speak" that way.]

I'm sorry, I'll stop. You really don't need help on the rusting front, do you?

[heavyweaponsbot]

[He shrugs, covering the hole with a hand. There's a pause, while he makes sure 'Bee's finished talking over the frequency.]

You, unlike some, are allowed to get away with a few rust jokes. And, with Ratchet around, everything is fine...

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

I don't mean them anyway. You're the toughest Autobot alive. [Even without an actual tone of voice, he's just DRIPPING with hero-worship.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

Not tougher than Optimus... Hm? [Nudges him with an elbow - no one's as tough as Prime, 'Bee.]

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

Well, obviously. [Optimus is in a totally different class than the rest of them. He meant out of anyone that isn't a godly Prime.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

Knew you were a smart one. ['Bee it is so good to see you. You have no idea.]

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

It is one of my primary functions. [To be an insufferable smart aleck.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

What? You mean crying was not? [Oh you're hilarious, Ironhide.]

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

That's my secondary, but the insinuation hurts my feelings. I might have to prioritize.

[heavyweaponsbot]

... That was a joke, Bumblebee. You were supposed to laugh.

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

I was joking back with you. You're supposed to laugh.

[heavyweaponsbot]

...

I knew that. I was... testing you. You know. Testing.

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

Oh yes. Of course.

[heavyweaponsbot]

... [You know what, 'Bee? Robot noogies. You're getting them.]

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

[NO FAIR YOU'RE BIGGER

Bee struggles half-heartedly.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

[ALL IS FAIR IN THIS GAME, 'BEE.

He lets go after a moment of struggling, smirking.]

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

[Bumblebee straightens himself out, pretending to set his armor right.] ...you're still pretty tough for such an old 'bot.

[heavyweaponsbot]

If I did not have a hole in my chest, I would show you just how tough this old frame still is.
