[if you look upon the The Fussin' Overlook™  this lovely afternoon, you will notice a giant robot standing with his hands idly on his hips with a serene expression on his face, quietly enjoying the sunset]

[it's also raining like fuck, but he doesn't seem to care.] 

Comments

[wingedjustice]

Not from where I'm standing.

[onlyhonournow]

[letting go and stepping away, turning his back to Wing]

[wingedjustice]

Drift... if you have something to be feel sorry about, then the least you can do is tell me.

[onlyhonournow]

[... short laugh]

Wing, you already know it. I was a Decepticon. A fool. What else is there to tell?

[wingedjustice]

You've made mistakes. None of us have led spotless lives, me included. You thought you were fighting a war where no one would be abandoned. You didn't know there was another way. How could you? You've never seen it for yourself until now.

But you're not a Decepticon anymore. You've moved on from that. Does that still make you a fool?

[onlyhonournow]

[turning his head around and locks optics with Wing]

Yes. Enough of one that I lost you.

[wingedjustice]

I chose to fight. You didn't make me. No one did, not even Dai Atlas. I'm proud of my actions.

[onlyhonournow]

[... this? This is a sulky, pouty face. Way to revert, Drift.]

[wingedjustice]

And I don't think I gave you permission to take my death as your responsibility.

[onlyhonournow]

[. . . looking like he knows just how stupid he sounds, but he opens his mouth anyway]

Since when do I need your permission?

[wingedjustice]

You do if it concerns me.

[onlyhonournow]

[his mouth twists into a scowl again but he manages not to retort]

Fine.

[wingedjustice]

Is that a yes?

[onlyhonournow]

Sure.

[wingedjustice]

After you left, what did you do?

[onlyhonournow]

[... wanders off to the side and finds a convenient rock to sit on]

I travelled.

[wingedjustice]

Go on.

[onlyhonournow]

[the dirt is super interesting]

To as many places as I could. I tried to help as many people as I could possibly try to help.

[wingedjustice]

Did it make you happy?

[onlyhonournow]

........

[wingedjustice]

Drift?

[onlyhonournow]

In a way.

[wingedjustice]

Well, you're not me.

[onlyhonournow]

[looking up at him]

I don't know how I'm meant to feel, Wing. Cycles go by, you're online again, we both end up here. It's a lot to process.

[wingedjustice]

I have nothing but time.
