ARE YOU TIRED OF OPTIMUS LOGS YET

Who: Optimus Prime and Rodimus
Where: Maccadams 2.0
When: Sometime around now
What: Optimus wants to check in on his stupid robot son and DAD NOTICES SOMETHING'S MISSING.
Warnings: Fatherly smacks upside the heads.

Keeping up with fellow Cybertronians in command was something that happened to regularly with Optimus. Maybe it was all that time around Prowl, but it had become almost second nature. But Rodimus...Rodimus had spent so much time doing his own thing, that he often forgot to check in. So if the bot won't come to him, he'll invite him on his own accord.

Maccadam's seemed like a good meeting place, and one Rodimus was well aware of. Optimus leans against the side of the wall, arms folded. His thoughts mull over Rodimus, at how much he's grown since they'd last talked. A small part of him is a little sad, that he doesn't turn to him as much anymore. That he can't provide that guidance. That the reason Rodimus is so distant is because he's not needed.

His eyes close a moment, head shaking those thoughts out. Hearing footsteps approach.

He's got to admit that Optimus calling for a meeting came out of left field for Rodimus, so used to doing his own thing that he almost resents the reminder that - technically - he still falls under Optimus in the chain of command. Whatever remains of it. And in whatever shape it... is. These are the questions Rodimus doesn't bother with. But hey, Optimus wants a chat? He can do that.

"Prime, hey," he says when he gets close enough so the other can hear him, hands coming to rest on his hips.

"Er, don't the comms make that easier?" He says, pulling his out of a storage compartment to hold it up before tossing it up into the air - catching it smoothly once it falls down again. "I thought that's why the brainiacs threw them together."

But then Optimus trails off, and a look of confuses passes over Rodimus' face.

"Prime?"

Uh, yes they do? It's updating the world about his status. That's what they're for. "Got the one telling me to be here, didn't I?" Seriously, Optimus, give the guy some credit.

Except now Optimus is striding towards him in the way that Rodimus suspects makes everyone else feel as if they're pinned to a wall.

"I am?"

Yeah he's. Kind of forgotten about that.

Oh. OH. Ohh.

"Oh, that." He brushes away Optimus' apparent concern with a wave of his hand. "I gave it to Drift. It's not like I left the Autobots or anything."

Seriously. Can you imagine him leaving that? He went to school for it and everything.

"He's my best friend," he offers helpfully, his own fingers reaching up to brush where the badge was. "And after what Tarn did to him it seemed like the thing to do."

Rodimus doesn't say anything about how right it felt, or the intimacy of the moment, or anything that had struck him when he'd welded the badge to Drift's chestplate.

"I-- what?"

Why are you asking him this, Optimus? He shifts slightly, optics flickering away towards a point somewhere over Optimus' shoulder.

"Does it matter?"

"I know," he admits, shifting again. Are they done talking about this? Because he wants to be done talking about this. "But it's-- I needed to do it. He needed it. More than I did."

The blank space on his chest is fine, if it means it's helping Drift.

Rodimus can count the number of times anyone has ever said they're proud of him on one hand, so forgive him if it makes him stop short, optics widening in surprise before he shakes his head, an attempt to brush it off.

"It's just what needed to be done, Prime. And anyway, everyone knows I'm an autobot - I don't need a badge for that."
rodders: <user name=brodinsons> (WOAH WOAH BRING IT DOWN A LEVEL)

[personal profile] rodders 2015-04-04 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
It's that, however, that makes him smile - a quick flash of it over his face and a brightening of optics to show how pleased he is about that coming from Optimus. Sure, he's got some things to work on - okay, a lot of things - but he knows who and what he is. Rodimus, Autobot, co-captain of the Lost Light. It fades in a second as he gestures to Maccadam's.

"I'm betting you didn't call me to ask about the badge. So what's up?"

A friend. Huh. Out of every word he thought could be applied to him and Optimus Prime, that wasn't it. But it's not that it's wrong, he just doesn't know what word would be better for this.

Well, that doesn't sound like it'd be too difficult to do, overall.

"Sure, Prime. I'll have Megs drop you a line if I'm busy."
