because Red needs some happy

[electrowhipit]

[ This is where we are. Don't ask how, or why. Just know that it is a ballroom of sorts with a wonderful view. There is some music playing in the background despite the lack of band.

And there is a sharply-dressed Autobot looking out the window. He must be waiting for his date. ]

[He returns the kiss, smiling, with a little purr of contentment.]

... I adore you. Absolutely. You... have no idea how much.

[electrowhipit]

[ He leans against you. Not so much dancing now as vaguely shuffling in place. ]

Thank you.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

[He slides his arm around your waist now, before starting to tug you into another little dance.]

Hm? For what? Falling for you?

[electrowhipit]

[ He'll follow you this time ]

For everything. I... Ah. I always sort of thought I would be alone for the rest of my life.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

[Good, because he will put those legs, and that agility, to good use.]

... well. That makes two of us, then. Maybe we should be thanking one another, instead.

[electrowhipit]

[ Just don't get too fancy and lose him ]

It still doesn't seem like it's real sometimes, you know?

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

[He won't. He'll slow down for you. Just for you.]

I wouldn't think a fantasy could... perform as well as I do.

But. Yes. I... understand the sentiment.

[electrowhipit]

Sideswipe... I'm trying to be serious here.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

I know. That's why I'm teasing you, darling.

[electrowhipit]

Let me be serious for just a minute. Please?

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

... Sure. If you really want to.

[electrowhipit]

[ He stops dancing for a moment, stepping back and taking both of your hands in his.

Deep breath-! ]

You... you're the best thing to ever happen to me. I spent my life just thinking I was a nobody, that I was destined to be alone, and you... you changed all of that. You're the last person in the world I should have a chance with but... you make me feel wanted, and loved. I've never felt more like I'm worth anything to anyone than I do when I'm with you.

I'm not saying that what we have is perfect- we've had our share of fights. When it's bad, it's bad. But when it's good, it's as close to perfect as it can be. There's so much that's right about this, about you, that I won't let a few fights get in the way. I would give my life for you, and for what we have. You-- I love you, Sideswipe. More than anything. And I don't ever want to be without you.

[ he ducks his head, looking a little embarrassed ] Just... thought you should know.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

[He just... stares. And the more Jolt speaks, the tighter his hands hold yours.]

I...

[For all his fame, all his superior engineering, all his experience with others, he's never heard anything like this. Never felt anything like this.]

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

[And then he wonders how he can possibly say anything to equal that.]

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

[He sucks in a breath, and looks down at their hands, tracing his thumb over the back of your hand.]

I'm not... certain how I could possibly say anything as eloquent as that. Or... even as coherent. I just... I'd get my vocals all twisted up. But...

I never thought I'd hear something so wonderful, that it could leave me grasping for words. Congratulations.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

But... I... If I could adequately articulate how I feel for you, it would, truly, be very much the same thing.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

[And now, he thinks, it's time you were kissed. Hard.]

[electrowhipit]

[ He has no objections to that. In fact, he returns that kiss in kind ]

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

[He pulls you a little closer... to do one of those fancy dip-kiss things.]

[electrowhipit]

[ Fancy! Loops his arms around your neck, then. ]

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

[Which lets him slide his hands a little lower down your waist, then.]

[electrowhipit]

[ He does have to pull away eventually, but he doesn't go far ]

Think there's a room around here somewhere?

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

[Good, because he doesn't want you to.]

... One way to find out. Shall we...?

[electrowhipit]

Mm. Let's.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

[Well. He may be lighter than you, but he'll make a valiant effort to haul you up into his arms.]

Come along, then.
