[it's nice, the warmth. makes it feel like he's doing the right thing, makes it feel comfortable. riptide can't help himself smiling into it before he pulls back.]
[ The sheer startle of the slap sends Prime stumbled a step with a yelp. He stands there arms forward, leaned and posed quite foolishly. He slowly returns to stand and silently as his finnels pose back stares up at Riptide. ]
[ The finnels move back and forth as he looks back and he brings his arms to his chest, there are gears turning in his head and he nods. ]
[ Optimus shrinks a moment, trying to hide his growing blush and ups his mask for the moment. ]
Startled is all, you meant no harm. IT was playful, comradery. You meant no harm, I've just never had my rear... slapped before. Not even Jetfire had done that.
And he never even touched your aft? [riptide gasps scandalously.] I don't believe that for a second. I bet you two at least kissed on a late-night mission. You're way too good at it!
[ Optimus' body heat rises as he tries to act in control of the situation, setting his basket down and draping a blanket down for them to sit on. ]
Well, It was as professional... as those that Powerlink could be professional. But I heard the jokes once in a while, I was a top? Which I didn't get, maybe someday...
Empty, yes... It must of been a lonely time. Perhaps we can fill the time together? In the sense of... company. Company makes the world less empty... [ Optimus fumbles his words alittle trying to make it sound the least weird way as possible. ]
I... [ Laughs. ]
I don't have much practice being normal. Everything needs to be a grand display in some way... I'm sorry it must be annoying.
[ In truth, Bambi is now lost for words. Simply smiling up at Riptide with small cracks to a laugh. Leaning to his touch and reaches a hand up to touch him in return on his lower arm. ]

I will have to ask after our ... date is over. [ His mask falls back down and he smiles alittle sheepishly. ]
I don't know when the last time I had so much free time to be jovial like this.

[ratchet's gonna kill him. he's okay with that.]
I feel that. I mean, kind of. I had a lot of free time back home but... I wasn't doing anything with it. Everything felt real empty.

Do you really think I would want to hang out with you if I thought you were annoying?
