That smile -- yes. He can see it. Even with that faceplate. When you've known someone for this long, it's not hard to tell when they're happy. Or... whatever it is Optimus is right now. Ironhide can't bring himself to mind, though.

Seeing it is... it feels good to see. Really good to see. Like the entire universe decided to reorganize itself, brighten up. Make things better. He takes another step closer, his other hand lifting to touch Optimus' chest. Resting over that spark -- or close to it. He's not any taller, even with the power of porn pollen.

"Yeah... Yeah, I. I kinda want to, too."
