Try to keep up!

"Aww, okay. Thats okay." He means it, he didn’t want to make the other feel drained. "Okay, then lets skip right to the run instead, I’m just trying to rustle up things to make you feel better." He reaches up and pets Quicks hair and his face, giving it a small smoosh. "Get your armor on." He lets him go and walks off to get back into his body suit. He felt a little silly, thinking that maybe some closeness would help because the bath had worked so well. But perhaps Quick really did just need some relaxing things, like a run, a bath maybe a movie. "Hey, we could also build a pillow fort in the common room and watch movies later too." 

Gem’s expression deflates only a little when its clear that Quick sucks at picking up his signals, but perks right back up when the dumb red robot had the same idea anyways and was much less subtle about it. “Yes!” He hugs him tighter. “You take me to that bed over there and screw me until we both shut down to charge. And then when we are done with that I make you something to eat and we go for a run.” He might as well stop using the hint train and get right to the root of it. 

"Wait you wanna fuck? Really? Gem, I mean, that'd be great except I'm.. I mean I'm not really in the mood for any kind of emotional sex like, at all. It'd be pretty freaking robotic. Even for robots. Plus I can't guarantee I'd wanna run after. Sex tires me out when I do it right." He rubbed the back of his neck and shifted his weight, contemplating the idea of it. "I mean, if it doesn't bother you, it's cool with me."

Gem gives a squeak as he’s lifted, holding on tight before finally being set down on the tile floor of his bathroom. Accepting the towel and tilting his head back happily as he’s petted. “Or something like that.” He says softly, blushing a little as he looked up into the 2nd gens face. He slides his hands back around Quicks long torso and laces his fingers behind him. “Should probably finish drying…get our armor on..” 

Quick was either very very dense, or not in the mood. "Yeah, probably." Huh. Gemini was being awful touchy-feely. "Say Gem. Was there something different you wanted to do? Seeing as we're both like, right here, and stuff." He hummed, tilting his head like maybe, just maybe, that would do something to make things clearer.

Seriously?

That.. was a very good question. Quick shrugged, then rubbed his head a little bit and shifted his stance to reflect his "how am I supposed to know" sort of attitude. "Well I guess maybe we could say you're there to... make sure nothing bad happens? Yeah! Since you're a good fighter and negotiater, right? See, I'm a genius." He smirked, then headed for the door. "Come on, I hate being late. We should get there quick."

Gem snoozed gently in Quicks arms and after awhile his systems picked back up with an internal alarm and he sits up. “Mm feeling better? Ready for a run or some sort of physical activity to work the tension out of your legs?” He asks, starting to pick himself up off Quick to get out of the tub. 

The red robot wasn't entirely happy to be roused from the dozing so he grumbled softly, eventually giving in and nodding but not allowing Gem to get out by himself. Instead he held him and stood right up, his legs balancing the both of them effortlessly with Gemini resting in the scoop of his arms. After giving his forehead a thankful little nuzzle he stepped out to set him down. A big stretch popped his joints and seams and got him all limbered up again, and wow, he really, really did feel like he needed to move. "Running would be good." Oh, there were towels. He picked one up to drape around the other's shoulders. "Or something like that." Quick brushed Gem's hair back and out of his face. Handsome thing he was.

Gem sits on Quicks lap, rinses his hair and pets the others face and shoulders. Touching his neck cables and ear caps. Then slowly slides around to sit between Quicks legs and lay back against the 2nd Gens lap. More then happy to just let his special one rest and relax. Closing his own eyes. He knew Quick was smart, it was only a matter of time until the other became aware of his surroundings again. And when he did, Gem would be there with open arms. If not, then…he’d support him anyways, as a friend. 

Quick finally allowed himself to relax once Gemini was situated and lazily looped his arms around him, mindlessly rubbing his shoulders and his neck as though it was one of the few comforts he had. He sighed, realizing that maybe this wasn't so bad, then gave Gemini a little glance before pressing his face into his hair and shutting his eyes again. It was comfortably quiet for a change, not just eerily silent and lonely. He'd missed the feeling considerably.

Quick soaked it in but was a little oblivious to Gemini's feelings despite how obvious they might have been. Unfortunately his own personal problems were interfering more than he was aware. "Rinse. Right." He sighed, hugging Gemini tightly again and allowing himself to be led back, trying to promise himself that he wouldn't let any more problems arise while he was being pampered and taken care of. But rather than apologize again, he simply sighed, closed his eyes, and got comfortable.

"Like I would let him!" He says, but still wont let the other go. Slowly moving around until he was facing Quick, and pressed to his front, looking up into the others blue eyes with his own. "Hey, stop. No blood lust, you don’t need to break the stupid car. I’m happy you like my ass, but its your ass. I’m not going to let anyone else have it with out permission, okay?" He asks, reaching up to smoosh Quicks cheeks. "Its yours. Okay? Yours." He affirms for the speed bot. "Now calm down, calm." 

Quick was practically panting like a nervous cat, his vents expelling moist air by the cubic yard. Steam built up behind him in a matter of seconds. "I.. your ass is mine? Really?" He cocked his head. ".. Oh. Well then I. I guess I don't have to kill Turbo right away. I mean." Damn. Gemini had a grip on him. He had soft hands, too. "... I'm calm now." His frame rattled a little bit as his fans gradually slowed again. "Um. I'm sorry. I'm, hah, I really am a mess. Ah shoot, my hair's gonna be messed up." Hair was important, so he undid Gemini's robe to toss it aside again, then put his arms around the third-gen and tucked his face into his neck. "You're really good at making me feel better."

Gem looks shocked when the other stands up and climbs out of the tub and takes his robe too. “Quick! Damn it, I told you not too. Why are you talking to Turbo when I’m trying to calm you down!” He sits up in the tub and leans over the edge a little to snag the speed bots hand. “Come on, stop for a minute. Who cares what that crass asshole has to say, please stay.” He gets out of the tub too and wraps his arms around Quick. 

"Gem no. No, no. No! I can't. Gem he said he was gonna smack you in the ass. And other stuff I don't wanna say because your ass is.. some kind of.. it's a precious gem or something sappy and shit and he's not having it not as a way of pissing me off..!" But he didn't run. Just stood there and grumbled and growled and let Gemini (who looked very handsome right then) cling to him. "I'm gonna kill him. I'm gonna rip his taipipes clean off. I'm gonna bash in his stupid asslights. You don't understand. I literally have to kill him right now."

>Bet he’s got a reeeal nice one, heh. I’m gonna tap the hell out of it.

> No fucking shit fuck no okay leave him alone! He deserves waaaay better. Better than you.

>I’m so gonna slap his ass next time I see him.
