"He's been so social lately," said Sunstreaker. "It's like he's wanting to get to know everyone."
Drift held still as Sunstreaker carefully lifted his thorny, hulking pet from Drift's frame and took him into his lap. "I don't remember him ever being this friendly."
Sunstreaker petted Bob gently, though the Insecticon looked disappointed as he glanced back and forth between him and Drift. "You should have seen him yesterday. I was meeting with Rodimus, and he did the same thing, climbing all over him. Lying in his lap. Crawling up onto his shoulders. And then he tried to bring Rodimus over to me."
Swerve laughed from behind the counter. "Perhaps he knows you need a berthmate and was trying to hook you up."
Sunstreaker moaned. "Great. An Insecticon matchmaker. Just what I need."
Chromedome, sitting with Rewind at the next table over, pointed at Bob. "Maybe he's looking for a berthmate for himself."
"Yeah," said Rewind. "Perhaps he's looking for someone to start his own little Swarm with."
A precarious silence fell over Swerve's.
"I... don't know," Sunstreaker said eventually, and awkwardly.
Drift looked particularly awkward. Had the Insecticon's friendly display been more than just friendly?
"Get Ratchet to check him out. See what he says," Swerve suggested.
Sunstreaker looked down at the sighing creature settled into his lap. "Maybe I should."
