[ What was the notion again? To keep friends is to invest in them? Simple in theory but harder in practice, Antlers thinks. After all who has time to invest in others outside his room when he sometimes forgets who all exists outside it.

One might think he's selfish and ego centered. He just thinks he's a survivalist.

But he's finally located Rodimus' room and with a little bit of .... something green.. he opens the lock. His body feels so much heavier from the frustrating ten minutes wasting magic to figure the code.

Then he moves to the berth and recharge slabs placing a variety of gifts and welcome back presents. He figures the foolish not Prime would use a pick him up.

Even placing a little note. Which Reads: ]

I never got to properly thank you for your kindness while I was Bewitched. Ending me twice in one day's time must of taken a toll upon your psych.

In which I have decided much late in time that you must be exhausted on your return. So please, accept this bottle of aged Energon.

I would of given you a Star but those are in low supply and hard to come by here.

But still it is only fair I give you something to ease your wary gears.

Its quite good and while its no Energon Star, it still doubles as a light elixer for the aches and pains.

In the cloth I have furnished a knife for you, nothing fancy. But we all could use a knife on hand in troubling times. It's good for an electrical shock too. Be careful of the charge, dear Rodimus.

Sincerly Megatron "Antlers"

[ He's tired, and he's sore, and he's still fuckin' pissed about whats-his-face getting away. Sure they got the matrix back but at what cost? He's been in and out of the medbay since he got back, just double checking that nothing was seriously wrong with him, and now is his first chance to make it back to his room in what feels like ages.

Some cruise that turned out to be.

But despite his tiredness, Rodimus is not so sloppy as to not notice that something is different about his room. Well, it's hard to miss a gift basket but still. He didn't exactly give anyone else the access code to his room (other than Percy and Brainstorm but they were both off having a grand old time being nerds somewhere) which meant someone had snuck into his room while he was gone and left him something.

Logic says he should be concerned by this. And he is. But, as previously mentioned, he's tired. And sore. And it's a gift basket. If it's gonna blow him up at least it'll be fast about it.

But, as he approaches the berth, he finds quickly that it's not a bomb. No. It's... actually a really thoughtful set of gifts from... Antlers. Oh.

... oh.

Huh.

That sure does... hm.

He blinks a few times as he picks up the aged energon, turning it over in his hands. He doesn't know what would qualify as a "good vintage" really, but he's... actually pretty willing to take Antlers at his word for it. And he's never heard of an "Energon Star"...

He reaches next for the knife, inspecting it. He'd lost his last one, and this one was... oh it was nice. Nothing fancy his aft. A knife that could channel electricity--could it channel his fire?--and sharp like this? Something like this would have made all the difference to someone from his background. Even just on the Lost Light. ]

Ah, hell, I'm gonna have to send a thank you note back.

[ Thank you notes are not his forte. Writing isn't his forte. Maybe he'll just swing through Antlers' "throne room" and talk to him in person. That seems like a better call. Rodimus can do in person. But first... he couldn't just not say thanks and let Antlers think he was ungrateful... Ugh. _Ugh. Fine. He'd send a text. ]

hey antlers! i just got back. saw the gifts. I'm not gonna ask how you got in my room but thanks I appreciate them. the knife is really nice. you'll have to show me how the electricity part works later. :)

[ Oh how glorious! The gift a resounding success and included is the most endearing display of affectionate emoji face! That means either... sarcasm, adoration, or a third secret thing he very much is hoping for.

He flips his wings in on themselves. A new trick he's so proud of learning. Allowing himself more space to move about as he lays sideways on his throne. Legs kicked to the air. Then back to his normalcy and to hide his childish glee.

He chuckles at how simple a response this is. How different then the commander who was in charge before his Prime took over. The soldier who earned his escape and Megatron allowed him to flee to space...

After all it was a mutual respect. The slaughter of Bots soon after was... just more of that respect.

Then he in turn response. Giving Rodimus his own wait. After all h e can't dare seem desperate. ]

Rodimus, what good to hear from you at last. I was growing worried your trip out... Well I hope it wasnt too aweful. I'm very glad you enjoyed the gifts. The Knife is a simple learning trick. If you come down later, well I'll be happy to share its secrets. Now forgive me, I'm not sure how emoji's quite look but. I believe this will suffice ;)

dude u don't even wanna know Party cruise sucked Couldn't hit a giant fuckin tentacle panda for shit I looked rad as fuck tho After I have slept for probably a solid week I am totally down to come around and have you show me the ins and out of this knife. 😏 But be careful with those winky emojis antlers or a guy is gonna think you're flirting with him

And here I thought the knife was romantic enough. Goodness must a mech try harder to be more obvious. I will admit, it's a very... "Kidding, Unless." Venture. Schrodingers Romantic. I will say I'm being friendly, but if anything else comes of it. Well! Wouldn't that be nice~ Rodimus, you certainly deserve all the rest you can get. And I'll be waiting when sleeping beauty's rest is finished.

I regret to inform you that I'm what the kids call "oblivious" 😌😎

The knife is pretty romantic tho NGL. It's a big deal to arm sum1 when it could used to stab u in the back

Really says something when I've already taken you out twice huh lol 😅🥴👻

Oh. No that's so darling actually, I assumed I was flirting with an expert on top of his game. And in fact you're actually oblivious. Forgive me, I find this endearing and charming of you. Very well, I will be more blunt with you. Rodimus, I very much gave you that knife because I trust you with it. I think you can determine when to use something so dangerous and the fact you've taken me out twice now... well. Its personal but I admire your drive to protect and to survive. I want to kiss you, Rodimus. tilt your head to mine and lock lips. But of course, that is all fine if this remains one sided.

[ Hooo boy. Is he blushing? He's blushing. Why is he blushing. He's flirted before. He's done lots of flirting. He flirted his way through that whole mission and he's hot and he kNOWS he's hot but-- ]

fwiw Im sorry we couldn't just save you back on Mahou. I am glad you came back alright and all. Dying ain't fun, I know.

[ He fidgets with the knife, spinning it in his fingers as he lays on his berth. This could be... A very bad decision. But then... ]

as for the rest... Let's try a proper date first where I'm not forced to kill you at the end and we'll see how things go yeah?

[ Oh he's so cute, not quite naive as he likes or hopes. But he is naive enough to consider him a viable date at all.

Oh, Rodimus... old man. Would you be disgusted with these young primes.

The Lost Rodimus is a special spark for sure. He must handle with care.]

For what it's worth, you did what you must. I was a danger to everyone and myself. It is shameful to see how I was twisted in such a way. Goaded into rage and insanity. You are a savior, Rodimus. If anything. Even if I was felled twice. And yes, I would prefer a proper non lethal date thank you. It would be fun to have it candle lit. I hear fire makes quite a romantic light, but I think you know that much. After all, I've seen you ignite.

[ If that gets a laugh out of Rodimus, that'll be kept a secret for him and him alone. ]

Damn ur smooth

make a mech blush like that

Is being a poet just a THING for Megans or what. It's not a bad thing for sure but dang antlers

A candlelit dinner does sound very romantic tho. Set a date and time, antlers, and I'll be around. I'll even bring the knife and we'll see about giving it a whirl 😉 if nothing else it'll be one hell of a ride 😏😏😏

Then meet me in one of the empty cafeterias around [Date and Time]. I'll put a good word in with Hearts to let us have a moment when the lights are low. Unless I'm so bold as to invite you to the Throne room for this candlelight evening. Its been some time since there's been a brawl but... surely we'll be spared the evening.

How do those brawls always hit your throne room

Bad luck bro 😆✨

But. I'll take you up on the cafeteria date. 😉 Can't be too eager on a first encounter now can we. I hardly know you after all.

[ All he knows is Antlers has problems but damn if Rodimus doesn't have a thing for Deceptions with problems... ]

I'll see you then antlers. Have sweet dreams 😊😉
