[He turns up about five minutes later, carrying a couple of special cookies in his hand as he sits down opposite of his amica. He gently pushes one towards him.]
Wow, you look as rough as you sounded in your text.
Really? [he holds up his cube to look at himself in the reflection on the side. he looks the same? jeez. maybe he needs a wash.] It's only been a couple of hours. I guess it's the crippled self-esteem, maybe?
I am dumb, [he says with a huff, a little more determined to be unhappy than he should be.] like, it's my thing. I don't understand stuff, like I didn't understand this.
[he leans his chin on his hand.]
Nah. He's already kind of messed up. That would just make it worse... I already set some of his stuff on fire.
[mikaela seems to sense this thought tailgate has and sends him a flat look, slowly shaking her head. not today.]
I wouldn't have counted it! I would've just been like, I mean, that Megatron is all kinds of weirdly attractive, so I don't actually care if you dream about him! I think we all are, kind of!
[tmi, maybe. riptide mercifully does not go further into this.]
But he was really insistent on how he's a terrible person and I should just go away. Ugh. I'm starting to think I overreacted? Maybe I should've been more patient? I don't know. Maybe this was inevitable because neither of us are really... y'know. Into this.

How's it going?

Date: 2022-04-19 01:13 pm (UTC)[he looks at the reflection again, expression pinching at himself. it's more of a childish pout, now he's aware of it.]
Well, refer back to crippled self-esteem. I guess I was dumb to think this was, uh, anything proper?

Date: 2022-04-19 05:35 pm (UTC)Shut up! You're not dumb. He's dumb for doing whatever he did to you.
[He'd seen the rumours flying around by now.]
I can hurt him for you if you want.

So did he actually, y'know, talk to you about whatever happened?

Not really. It was basically just I made out with the crazy Megatron in a dream, bye!

Does it really count if it's a dream?
