ROBOT PROM

the punch has been spiked, the music is whatever they could scrape together, and there’s bleachers to make out behind. takes place OUTSIDE in the forum so there's plenty of space and people can easily crash it.

prom king is optimus prime, prom queen is pipes.

please behave as irresponsibly as you would at real prom.

comment around, mingle, you all know the drill.

If anything's a constant in his life, it's certainly that Ironhide will be there, and that Ironhide will take the hit as needed. Something Optimus...wishes he could prevent anyway. But there's no stopping life from continuing.

He feels the touch of that shoulder, though, systems immediately relaxing at it. "As good as can be expected. This place is confusing, and I think I need to head out to the outskirts again to talk to the planet."

And there never will be any stopping Ironhide from trying to take Prime's hits. Not while still functions. This bot is too important -- to everyone, not just to him. Ironhide is just a bodyguard.

Expendable, really. And he's all right with that.

"Well, hey, if you're goin' on another field trip, I'm pickin' the driving music." He offers Prime a slight smile, reaching over to thump one of his shoulders with a fist. "Nothin' mopey."

Ironhide if you call yourself expendable out loud to OP he is going to throw you across the planet he did not get himself arrested by Spickle Witwacky for some expendable piece of shit now you perk right the fuck up and think better about yourself.

His ear pieces flick slightly at the shoulder bump, eyes drifting to his partner. Just looking at the sincerity in those eyes.

"I'm afraid it's more of a...personal trip."

As in...he's going alone. Well maybe not alone, Cyclonus is joining but honestly they're only tolerating each other for planet religious feelings.

Yeah, see, he doesn't know that. And would probably be Very Upset if he did. Optimus is ... well. A bodyguard's charge is everything. Optimus is everything. He adores him -- cares for him. Probably beyond reason.

"You sure?"

He doesn't look convinced. His hand reaches out, resting on Optimus' forearm. He'll do whatever is needed of him, he just wants to make sure Optimus is all right with it.

"I trust you, Prime. I don't gotta say it. But if this is some kinda guilty personal trip, I'm comin'. No matter what."

[optout]

Ironhide you sweet summer child...

"I'm sure. I technically have company but...it's certainly one I should probably make alone. Anyone else and it could be problematic."

...

"It's Cyclonus."

Captain anti-social.

[arnhaid]

Prime he's older than you.

"... And?"

You're going to have to explain more than that to him. That's just a name. A weird one, but just a name.
