o23 ★ THANKSGIVING? NO THANKS.

[electrowhipit]

[ November is drawing to a close, and your local Autobot is in a grim mood. He's been keeping himself busy as a distraction, but it's not doing much to help.

Even so, he can be found doing one of three things:

A. Doing yardwork! He can be found in the front yard at 1249 Williams Road, raking leaves, tending to the garden. You might even catch him dragging a trashcan to the curb, the contents of which smell a bit like Thanksgiving dinner.

B. He seems to have tired of yardwork, and is trying to use electromagnetism on the rake and other various gardening tools- spade and what have you. He floats the tool up in the air and tosses it across the yard, trying to get it to land in a pile of leaves. His aim is improving, but sometimes he misses really, really badly- especially with the rake because it's more wood than metal. You might want to watch your head.

C. Going for a walk. Headed particularly towards Cunningham Lane, but he's taking his time about it. He's also deep in thought, so he's not exactly looking where he's going. ]

[ He takes it, gladly ] We can do this, Sideswipe.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

[And he holds it tight.]

... I want to. I... really want to.

[electrowhipit]

Then we have to try. We have to think.

[ he puts his free hand on the side of Sideswipe's face ] Teach me to be more confident, and I'll teach you to be more humble, okay?

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

That... never really was my strong suit.

[He leans his head a little more against that hand.]

You have to believe some of the things I tell you first...

[electrowhipit]

From now on, I'll try my best to.

...

You're the most loyal, dependable Autobot I've ever met.

[electrowhipit]

[ he actually goes a little red at that ] Just try not to inflate my ego too much.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

There isn't any "too much" for you.

[electrowhipit]

... Are we okay now, Sideswipe?

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

[If the fact that he's trying to drape himself across your lap is any indication, then, yes.]

I'm okay, if you agree.

[electrowhipit]

... Yeah, I agree.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

[... excuse him while he scoots up a little closer, even in that sprawl.]

... I love you.

[electrowhipit]

I love you too.

[Can they just stay like this for a while? He missed it.]

[electrowhipit]

[ He's fine with that ♥ ]

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

[... so is he ♥]
