Dreaded Robot Logic!

Does "The Light" allow you to be any more familiar than that?

Or is "The Light" a stickler for propriety?

Oh yay, more of that. Just what she wants.

[liadrin.livejournal.com]

[She rolls her eyes at this.]

I am capable of doing as I wish-- relationships and social mannerisms included.

Then stay away from Shockwave. Although he's not dumb enough to try and apply it to emotion.

[crackofthunder.livejournal.com]

And you wish to remain "unfamiliar."

Hahah. Thundercracker is a special sort of 'man'. :B

[liadrin.livejournal.com]

What? No!
I didn't say that, it is only that these things take time. Besides, considering oneself a friend is an act of familiarity to a certain extent. Then there are close friends and...so on.

There's a reason he doesn't fit in with his Robojerk team.

Perhaps you can draw me up a flowchart.

He has better hair?

[liadrin.livejournal.com]

I will do no such thing.
Thundercracker, I like you, I will defend you, I will be there for you any time that you have need of me, but that is also what a friend should do.

...Being intimate isn't a part of that, however.

Someday someone will tell him about conditioner.

[crackofthunder.livejournal.com]

And why not?

And then he'll be a fashion model forever and Fabio will weep! :p

[liadrin.livejournal.com]

Because it simply isn't...I don't know who put these rules in place, they merely exist.

Fabio still has him on pecs.

[crackofthunder.livejournal.com]

So you follow any arbitrary rules anyone tells you?

If you went to a place where shirts were illegal, whose version of propriety would you adhere to?

[liadrin.livejournal.com]

....Thundercracker, if I give you a kiss will you let this matter end here?

[crackofthunder.livejournal.com]

[He wasn't quite expecting that, as if the conversation had gotten so abstract that he'd forgotten what started it. It turns the tables enough that there's a slight flush to his face, and something approximating an actual grin for a fleeting moment.]

Okay. For now, yes.

[liadrin.livejournal.com]

...[Giving a slightly exasperated sigh, she leans over to give him a gentle kiss.]

[crackofthunder.livejournal.com]

[There's a small, involuntary shiver at the soft contact that surprises even him. As if shaking something loose inside him, or dragging it out from underneath his sorrows.]

[liadrin.livejournal.com]

Are you all right?

[crackofthunder.livejournal.com]

[eyes are closed tightly, as his lips purse, taking a deep breath to steady himself.]

...

No.

I should remind you once again that it is probably not a good idea to be familiar with me at all.

[liadrin.livejournal.com]

Oh come now, I am not that terrible, am I?

[crackofthunder.livejournal.com]

No.

It's the opposite.

[liadrin.livejournal.com]

I--

[Realization sinks in, and her ears immediately flatten.]
Oh.
Thundercracker, I'm sorry. If you are reminded of her, then just breathe and remember that Arachnia will come to her senses soon. It will just take a little time.

[crackofthunder.livejournal.com]

It's not -

...

Her senses have been erased. She doesn't have them to come to anymore. That's not -

...

I'm entirely cut off from the only two dependable joys I've had in my life.

[liadrin.livejournal.com]

If she was capable of it before, she is capable of it now. Do not be so quick to fall into doubt.
