2: Drift x Perceptor

~Slow and steady…but for how long?~

The words still rung in Perceptor’s audials as if they had just been said.

“I like you. But I don’t expect anything, I just wanted you to know.”

They had come from a most unexpected bot; Drift. Love and attraction was so….complicated. It wasn’t so easily explained like science, you couldn’t just map out equations and suddenly it all made sense. It freaked Perceptor out in ways nothing else could. It was just so raw and unexplainable and he still couldn’t wrap his head around that Drift had approached him with such feelings.

He expected Brainstorm. He’d been expecting that for several cycles now, but not Drift. He’d doubly shut down and if the situation had lasted long he might have found some way to excuse himself, but Drift was brief and gentle with his words. And he hasn’t done or said anything about it since. That was even more perplexing. Normally when someone stated they liked you it usually… lead to things. But Drift has kept uncharacteristically distant, nodding in recognition and giving kind but passing words.

It’s actually kind of perfect, in a weird way. This way Perceptor can really think about how he feels, without feeling the pressure of someone desiring an answer. And after a few days he feels like he has an answer.

So he goes looking.

He finds Drift with Rodimus, again trying to teach their Captain how to wield his blades. Perceptor falters for a moment, not sure of himself suddenly, and not really wanting to interrupt. Unfortunately he’s already been noticed. Rodimus quirks an optic ridge at him and Drift just looks at him with vague surprise.

“Do you need something Perceptor?” Rodimus asks, sounding vaguely miffed.

Straightening a bit more he clears his throat, “I was wondering if I could borrow Drift for a moment?”

Now they both look surprised, but there’s something else bubbling up behind Drift’s optics. Even Perceptor, from this distance, can see the shift in his mood. Nervous excitement.

“Fine, just don’t be long.” Rodimus says with an exaggerated sigh.

Drift looks like he’s trying very hard not to simply bound across the room, and the smile is clearly being restrained from its full glory. Perceptor steps back into the empty hall and Drift follows, but the silence lingers for a moment.

“So, what did you need?” Drift asks gently.

“I’ve thought about it. About you. I’m not….opposed.” It doesn’t escape him how serious and odd that sounds and he fumbles for different words for a few moments, but a gentle servo on his shoulder makes him still.

Drift is just smiling at him, beaming really, and Perceptor thinks for a moment how adorable Drift looks when he smiles like that. Then his voice comes out, soft and gentle, like always.

“It’s okay, you know. We’ll go your pace with, whatever this is. I don’t want you to feel uncomfortable or cornered. I know you’re a bit skittish with this sort of thing.”

Perceptor blinks owlishly at Drift and it only seems to warm the glow in the other bot’s optics further. His gaze wanders to the servo on his shoulder and it he takes it in his own, looking it over thoughtfully.

“P-Perceptor?”

“I’m not really that skittish….I just need time to think about things when it comes to…affection.”

He casts his gaze up at Drift’s face as he lowers his helm, simultaneously bringing Drift’s servo up to meet his lips. Knuckles against soft plating and the look on Drift’s face; he’s completely baffled and it’s possibly even more adorable than the smile he was wearing just a moment before.

Perceptor pulls away and smiles warmly at Drift.

“Thank you for giving me space, but I think I know where I stand.”

EVERYTIME I SEE JUST THAT FIRST IMAGE AT THE TOP I RECOGNIZE IT AND IMMEDIATELY START TEARING UP/CRYING

Personality adjustments. I thought it might be interesting to get a glimpse of how Perceptor’s friends and colleagues reacted to him erasing his personality. This is super simple and there’s a lot more to do with this, but for now, this is what I have. Why was there no season 4.

This is from last month and I finally decided to finish this this week because why the hell not! I hope this comic is somewhat understandable ;w;
