Mirage has completed conjunx ritus with Noah and same way vice versa

Mirage;

Act of Intimacy: Now the first scene that wouldn't really seem as intimacy but I feel like it is was the car chase scene, it was playful and then it follows up to the garage scene where they have their first fist bump. The fist bump in this movie is the key scene of intimacy that a lot of people could over look and call it not intimate but I see it as baby steps.

Act of Disclosure: The whole scene with Mirage opening up about how they crashed on Earth and he opens up on how he knows Optimus guilt. He talks about his worries for his teammates and helps Noah show that Optimus is not trying to be entirely mean.

Act of Profferance: The wrist gauntlet, he gives up a piece of himself as a gift and has Noah keep it.

Act of Devotion: This is a no brainer but the whole scene where he throws himself over Noah and sacrafices himself. He is terrified of dying but he would rather die than break his promise with Kris and see Noah die. Even when he is severely injured he makes himself into a suit to protect Noah on top of that. Mirage didn't even know if he would even come back, he did this selflessly.

Noah;

Act of Intimacy: Unintentionally but the whole scene when he is feeling up Mirage's insides in the garage. But on a serious note, the second time they do the fist bump he isn't scared of Mirage anymore and he initiated the contact.

Act of Disclosure: This was hard to figure out which scene meant the most but then I remembered the final battle. Noah knew that Mirage couldn't go up against Scourge alone, he subtly voices his concerns. He could have let Mirage go but in that moment it seemed like he wanted there to be another way for Mirage to be useful because going up against Scourge meant a death sentence.

Act of Profferance: Gathering up pieces and fixing Mirage, each new piece being a gift. His gift to Mirage was gathering pieces and giving time to fix him. He put blood, sweat and tears into giving Mirage back his body.

Uuuugh I hate them!!

@delusional-fantasising

Someone has already stated this in a different post but I'd like to add onto Mirage's promise of keeping Noah safe and the whole scene when Kris said that Noah wasn't sure if he'd come back alive.

I think it was in that scene Mirage ultimately decided he was going to willing to give up his life for Noah. Especially when he gave a piece of himself to Noah and also let him keep it. I feel like it is almost like giving someone your organ. Yes you can survive with one of the paired organs but you are giving something away that you cant necessarily get back.

This is more apparent with his life.
