[ There's a clatter as the phone is knocked off the hook. Another as Jolt tries to pick it up you can hear him muttering: ]

I'm back- it can't be true, it can't-- I'm back.

[ A final scramble for the phone and he manages to grab it. There's no mistaking the urgency of his tone ]

Sideswipe-- I need to talk to Sideswipe!

Mmn. Feeling... you.

[Shrugs.] It's better when you're not hurting.

[electrowhipit]

Funny how that works, isn't it?

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

Mm. Yes. It is.

Suppose this place never counted on my finding something... good to feel.

[electrowhipit]

Yeah. I--- [ a pause, and suddenly he's feeling a bit mischievous ] Hey, Sideswipe?

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

... Yes? What are you up to?

[electrowhipit]

How long do you think your gift is gonna last?

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

I've no idea. Hopefully not much longer.

... Why?

[electrowhipit]

Meet me at my place in half an hour.

[ he gives Sideswipe a quick kiss before disentangling himself and getting off the couch ]

I still have to thank you for the ring.

[He makes a token effort to cling onto him before Jolt gets up.]

Your place? Why your...

Oh. You sneaky little 'Bot.

[electrowhipit]

[ He just grins. ] I'll see you later.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

Yes. Yes you will. It's a promise.
