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

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.

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