Sideswipe looked over to Windblade and Strongarm talking about something. He sighed loudly and sat crossed-leg on the floor.
"Sideswipe?" A voice called his attention. "Are you okay?" It was Bumblebee. He was coming with Optimus Prime. "You've been unusually quiet today." The red Bot sighed and stood up, looking at his leader.
"I notice on his expression a certain feeling of doubt." Optimus commented.
"...you got it." The answer came up, finally.
"Doubt about what?" Sideswipe answered Bee's question looking back to the female Bots's chat. "Oh…now I got it."
"It's not so simple."
"What do you mean? If you like one of them, you could just tell the-"
"I like them BOTH, Bee!" Bee's comment was interrupt by Sideswipe, and the lieutenant was left surprised. "A-and I don't know how to deal with this! Strongarm is a brave and reliable teammate, besides a bit bossy, and Windblade is not only good-looking but skilled, although she risk herself too much! I like staying there to help any of them no matter what Decepticon comes over, and just the feeling of having to choose between those two amazing Bots are making my circuits fry!" He sighed loudly as he knelt down, panting.
Bee bit his lower lip. Oh, how he wish he could help… Then, Optimus signalized to him to give it a try, and Bee agreed on that. The blue and red Mech sat down nearby the saddened Bot, as he calmed down from his despair breakdown.
"What I see here is in my sight a matter of spark. Tell me, Sideswipe… It's really urgent for you to find this out?"
"I just… feel I really need to admit it as soon as I can. I-If I don't, I may… Lose them both… Forever."
"That'll never happen, Sideswipe." Bumblebee placed a hand on his shoulder. "We're a team, a family, remember? We care and protect each other. And also… Those two are hard to knock down." He looked at the girl Bots far away.
"Bumblebee is right." Optimus spoke up. "You will have a long time to figure out your true feelings about those two. What matters, however, is asking yourself here…" He pointed to his chest, meaning his spark. "... and not here." He pointed to his head, meaning his mind.
Sideswipe looked at them, and sighed with a smile, standing up.
"I guess you're both right. Patience ain't one of my virtues… But for them… It's worth to try." He concluded. "Thank you both." He started to walk to the girls to find out what are they talking about.
"Nice job." Bee told Optimus.
"You too." He answered. "Sometimes, having past experiences can be a good thing." Bee chuckled.
"Well, which ever one he chooses in the future…. Guess he'll be just fine." Bee concluded, as he and Optimus watched Sideswipe joining the girls, Windblade placing a hand on his shoulder and Strongarm monitoring something on her screen.
