Who: Sixshot and YOU.
Where: Somewhere in the city!
When: Some… time.
What: Talk to doggy! Pet the doggy! Annoy the living heck out of the doggy!
Warnings: Standard potential violence warning because Phase Sixer.



Sixshot never stayed in one place for too long. There were places he would visit often, like the Decepticon base and the Autobot clinic, but he never lingered for longer than a day.

Sometimes he dug; there were various Sixer-sized holes around the barren city now. His olfactory sensors helped with homing in on various useful equipment and he left them where either Spinister, Tarn or First Aid would find them.

More often than not, he wandered. There were massive spaces underground, caverns left by destroyed metros, the dead roots of collapsed skyscrapers. Unstable death traps to most other mechs, but quiet places for one who could withstand half a world falling upon him.

There was a hole over this particular section of what appeared to have once been an underground mall. The sound of running water echoed through the darkness and Sixshot could see the sparkling spray as he got closer to the shaft of light.

A waterfall? A very small one, but it certainly looked like a waterfall.

Sixshot slows to a stop under the collapsed ceiling. The water disappeared into a pile of rubble for the most part and plants were scattered here and there and up around the edges of the hole.

Stepping up onto the pile, the Sixer sticks his massive head out of the hole in the ground. Where does this pop up into?

"Yes."

He shifts in place again, drawing his knees to his chest. There's probably value in what the huge robot is saying. He didn't steer Kagerou wrong before. But on the other hand...

The familiarity of the frame is a huge comfort the others lack.

"You're pawning me off on them again."
fuckinstoplights: (Seriously car we need to have words.)

"I don't need looking after."

He isn't sure what he's hoping to accomplish, saying that. Maybe just prove he's capable of functioning on his own. Maybe... fix something or bridge some gap here. He doesn't want to be looked after, he's just... he's oddly content to trail in this being's shadow.

And then the other threatens to leave and he's sitting upright, flaring his wings. "You aren't bothering me!" he calls out, louder than he should. "You don't have to leave!"
fuckinstoplights: (... I should go.)

No, no he does not.

He's sitting rigidly, staring. Hoping that face won't leave all the way. He doesn't even know how to describe what he wants right now. Only that he doesn't want the huge bot to leave.

"Can... I walk with you again...? For a while?"
fuckinstoplights: (This is the happiest I'll ever look.)

And Kagerou's face suddenly looks like a kid's on Christmas morning. He just lights up, jumping down off his perch to stand near the huge bot. Near, but not underfoot. He's being careful not to be a problem.

At least, physically.

"Thank you!"
fuckinstoplights: (Since when did waffles fly?)

"If... that's what you want?"

There's a definite hesitance to the words. He hadn't realized he was calling any sort of shots. Or the one giving directions. He just wanted to be near Sixshot.

As crazy as it was.
fuckinstoplights: (Believe I can fly!)

it's okay!

You are, Sixshot. Probably not one you ever wanted to. And one that probably isn't healthy for the little bot attaching himself to him. But Kagerou really can't bring himself to care.

He has something familiar here. Something he wants to cling onto and never let go.

It's... probably going to hurt, later.

But he perks up, completely, and follows after the big destroyer of worlds, like an eager puppy.
fuckinstoplights: (Wait we put the gas where now?)

"Because you said I could."

That's. Literally his answer. He doesn't see any problem with that answer. He stops where he stands, shifting his weight.

Does that mean he has to leave?
fuckinstoplights: (I STAND ALONE.)

[personal profile] fuckinstoplights 2015-05-07 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
That's. A switch. And it's enough to make him take a step back, his expression registering the surprise before he can school himself back to neutrality.

"I... don't know what else to do."

At least it's honest.
fuckinstoplights: (... I should go.)

[personal profile] fuckinstoplights 2015-05-09 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
And again, he's completely startled. Stunned into anxious silence. He doesn't know how to respond to that. No one has ever accused him of... of that. Of using someone.

"I... what?"

But he's already taken a step back. Instinct telling him to be ready to fly off.
fuckinstoplights: (Engaging in sulk mode.)

[personal profile] fuckinstoplights 2015-05-09 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
... This time, he doesn't follow.

His tension drains away. He stays there, staring after the departing bot. Wondering what it was he's done wrong. Fighting down the urge to follow.

... and now he's alone, again. Alone and uncertain and burning bridges without even realizing his mistakes.
