A Bit of Afters
By SMYGO4EVA
At the Autobot base, Raf and Miko were playing a random video game, cars rolling through the undergrowth, while they were laughing and concentrating to across the finish line, to be on top. When things looked a bit tense, Miko manages to use her game control to have her car slide right past the young genius' car, almost at an inhumane speed, and her car shredded through the finish line like it was paper, the winning noise claiming victory.
"Aw man! Miko, you cheated," Raf accused, although he was only teasing, they both knew it isn't true.
"Raf, I did not; maybe I'm simply stronger than you," Miko shot back playfully.
It was then when Raf looked away from her for a moment, eyes cast down, and looking a bit hurt. Miko's triumph faded at his response, a pang of guilt seeping into her chest a bit.
She then scooted closer to him, and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Hey, it's okay if you lose. We lose at a lot of things, even I've lost a game or two, but that doesn't keep me down. And it shouldn't get you down in the dumps either." Miko said to Raf, smiling at him in a reassuring way.
Raf looked up at her and returned that same smile, his eyes shining with a muted young love for his friend.
"Thanks, Miko."
"Don't mention it."
