Trundle tenses up, plating taut, field pulled in tight. “Are… you sure?” His words were barely a whisper. He’d already downed the fuel, desperately hungry. Now he was filled with a sense of guilt and dread. 

“Th-thank you…  was so hungry… anything- anything you wish- I- I will see to it if it’s in my power.” He bowed his helm, deeply grateful for the femme’s offering, field coiled up tightly around him, optics wide and fearful.

Noc nudged a energon cube to trundle, using her snout to do so. She smiled at the sweet mech and gestured him to take it. She didn't mind sharing.

Trundle stared at the cube for a long moment, intake working, the mech swallowing dryly. “I… really…? What’s the catch?” He eyed her warily, nonetheless takign up the offered cube and draining it hungrily.

He’d already taken her offer, too hungry to deny the freely offered fuel. Now he waited for her orders, cringed at the thought of what he was expected to do in exchange for living another day.

It came as a shock when the femme demanded nothing, even pressing up against him, Trundle recoiling instinctually, whining lightly, shuddering. “I- uh...” He didn’t understand. Didn’t she want anything from him?

“I... th- thank you...” He mumbled the words, helm downcast, frame tense and field pulled in tight.

Oops! I didn't mean to scare you! Can I give you a hug? As an apology?

The tank’s helm peeked out. Oh thank primus! It was only the little predacon.

“Noc...?” That was her name, wasn’t it? 

“I thought...” He fell flat on his aft. “Pit... you scared me, heh. That Pox fragger likes to creep up on us.” He waved the little predacon closer, intending to give her a cuddle. “Course you can hug me, come here.”

-boops trundle-

-frantic flailing-

“Ack!”

He’s hiding behind an armchair now. 

“Wha-who?”

The joyful predacon smiled as Trundle sat down. It made it possible for her to curl up in the tank’s lap, which she did. Noc happily relaxed, letting the larger mech pet her and such. She was glad Overlord treated Trundle well. He deserved to be treated nicely. “I’m a predacon. You’re a tank I’m guessing… or at least something armored?” Noc purred softly, dimming her optics as she cuddled into the tank.

The tank stilled immediately, large servos darting back before hovering almost fearfully above the predacon. She lookedso small like that.... precious...  Trundle’s optics were wide. This.... this was... 

“Primus... so-so cute...”Servos reached to pet the small femme. “I’m a tank... and-and you’re...” Images of huge, fire breathing monsters were called to mind.

“You can’t be a predacon! You’re not big and scary... I thought they were all... big- big monsters... breathing fire... terrorizing mechs...” Obviously not. Trundle made a small squeak of delight as the pup nuzzled into him. So adorable!

Noctrin sat down besides Trundle. "Hello there, I'm Noc"

The tank blinked in shock. Where had this little one come from? Did Overlord know about this?

“Ah… h-hello? How- how did you get in? Don’t let master see you…” Trundle was worried, though he was fairly sure his master would adore the small creature. 

[humble-bot-trundle]

The hefty tank sat himself down, bright smile of his lips as Noc cuddled against him. Oh! She wanted petting! Of course he would pet her!

Large servos moved with great care, soft and gentle as he stroked over her helm, even touched her wings curiously. “I’m glad he treats you well. He-he treats me well too.” Not entirely true but Trundle really couldn’t complain after all he’d seen the triple changer capable of.

“Are- are you a seeker?” He’d never seen a predacon before, nor heard of one, figuring Noc must have been a very strange sort of seeker.

The tank blinked in shock. Where had this little one come from? Did Overlord know about this?

“Ah… h-hello? How- how did you get in? Don’t let master see you…” Trundle was worried, though he was fairly sure his master would adore the small creature. 

[humble-bot-trundle]

“Pet?” Oh. Maybe... maybe in the conventional sense.... like a pretty bird. “You are? He doesn’t... he’s not cruel to you, is he?” She didn’t look hurt... nor afraid. Still, the tank couldn’t hide his concern.

“My name? Oh... oh I’m sorry... that- that was rude. I’m Trundle. It’s nice to meet you uhm... Noc? That’s an unusual name- no- no offence meant! It’s very fitting... cute.” He blushed a little, embarassing himself. That was rude! He shouldn’t presume to call her cute. What if she became angry! What if Overlord did... Trundle shifted nervously, fingers knitted and fussing anxiously.

Trundle’s engine rumbled happily. He leaned in to the embrace, stooping down a little to enjoy those gentle petting motions much like an overjoyed turbopuppy.

“Thank you LC. That’s... that’s sweet of you.” He smiled at the other mech, sighing happily and pulling the red mech a little tighter into the hug.

Trundle... come here. Let me hug you.

“Oh! Uhm… c-course!” He wonders briefly what the occasion is, too content to ask as he shuffles close, bending down to wrap arms around LC, smiling broadly with a light flush to his cheeks.

“Is… everything alright? I mean… just checking…” He looked away awkwardly.
