- He’s busy a lot, so you don’t really see him that often.

- That doesn’t mean that he doesn’t keep in contact with you. He’s on video or voice call with you while he’s working, whenever he can be. He uses it as a way to show that he cares, and to spend time with you, and to keep and eye on you to be able to tell you what to do if he’s in the mood to assert his dominance.

- If you’re a bot, his favorite things to give you are nice polishes and the occasional armor upgrade that you might have been wanting. Sometimes, though, his gifts are a little less orthodox, like some kind of weapon. He just wants to keep you safe, though.

- If you’re a human, he really loves being able to pick what you wear. Cybertronians don’t usually have the luxury of being able to change how they look too often, so he enjoys buying you clothes and things like that.

Hi!! Would mecha be a no go for you?

- Megatron and Starscream are the ones most interested in you

- Lugnut and Blitzwing’s Hothead personality find you to be obnoxious at times, usually only telling you to sing to scare you with their threats of what will happen if you don’t

- He’s not sure if it’s because he’s a therapist or if you naturally feel this comfortable sitting around talking with him. He could be sitting around toying with his model ships and you’d just be relaxing with him telling him stories.

- For once he’s not self conscious of his size. While he’s still very much taller than you are, it’s nice to feel big and strong like he needs to protect something.

- If you ask him nicely he’ll let you try on his glasses.

- He also gives the best back rubs. If you tell him you’ve been stressing out, he’ll massage into your back and shoulders and help loosen the tension. You may or may not have fallen asleep while he’s done this before.

- You insist that he partakes in more of the minibot outings. Plus, scary movie nights are much more fun when you can cuddle into him when you get scared.

It’s not as much polishing myself as it is staying out of dirt’s way, unlike Rumble and Frenzy. Having a clean finish is something I take pride in. Thank you.
