The Setting Sun

Warnings: slash, pointless fluff

Pairing(s): GrimlockxSwoop


The Dinobot king stood on his cliff, staring at the disappearing sun. Yet another thing that has abandoned him. Their goddess had also gone, leaving the Dinobots on their lonely little island.

Grimlock roared, voicing his pain and loneliness. Birds, startled from their nests, cried and flew off, leaving the robot completely alone. He sat the edge of the cliff, staring down at the water below. He didn't bother to look up as something large landed behind him and transformed.

"What Swoop want?" The tyrannosaurs growled angrily as his brother ignored the question, opting instead to snuggle against his leader. "Don't you see me Grimlock want be alone?" Swoop squawked quietly in disbelief and insisted on Grimlock relaxing with him. He squawked again, this time in surprise, as the larger 'bot pushed him away.

The pterodactyl cocked his head to the side and chirped in question. His brother turned his back to him, which upset him greatly. Was his leader really this upset? He chirped again, this time sounding more like a whine of pain.

Grimlock was stuck between his own stubbornness and the need to comfort his distraught brother. After many moments, he finally chose the smaller Dinobot over his want to sulk. "Me Grimlock sorry."

Swoop blinked, confused by the other's uncharacteristic apology. He cautiously resumed his cuddling, trying once again to cheer up the larger 'bot.

"Brothers are all Grimlock have left." Swoop cooed in question. Grimlock stood, lifting the smaller Dinobot with him. "Come. The sun gone. It time to rest." The pterodactyl blinked before deciding to drop the issue. His leader had dropped his gloom and that's all that really mattered.
