#poor sideswipe

☆ This is from chapter 6 of my ongoing fic Sundowning (´・ω・｀)~

      Sideswipe has insisted that they go on that little “date” and Rodimus couldn’t turn down the opportunity to hang out even though he wasn’t comfortable with spending someone else’s hard earned money. They got to try out this amazing restaurant that overlooked the sea and the food was delicious! The red mech especially liked the vanilla strawberry swirl sundae he’s gotten for dessert. He’s been looking forward to that treat ever since the red and black mech brought the whole meal thing up back on Earth and the wait was well worth it!

      Of course, Sideswipe, being the macho mech he was, Rodimus sniggered, decided to pretend to be cool and ordered a freaking beer that he of course had to tease him over. He just couldn’t waste that opportunity.

      “Awwh, look at you being all masculine and shit.” Rodimus drawled teasingly.

      Sideswipe narrowed his optics at him with a pout.

      “Come on, dude, we didn’t drive all the way out here for you to just get a beer!” Rodimus tried and it looked like the red and black mech was half considering it because he lowered his helm and rubbed at the back of his neck seeming undecided...

      It still jabbed at Rodimus’ spark to realize it must have been about the money...

      He racked his lower derma and pushed the glass closer towards his friend. Sharing always makes everything better...

      Sideswipe looked up at the sound of the glass dragging across the polished wood. He looked taken aback.

      “Wanna split this? It’s kinda too big for one mech.” Rodimus offered him the spoon with a smile. His optics might’ve been playing tricks on him because he could’ve sworn he’s seen his friend’s face flush a little before a grateful smile spread over his dermas.

      Sideswipe took the offered utensil out of his hand and the tips of their digits brushed against each other lightly. It made Rodimus feel warm and connected, as though he was part of this world...

      The night ended with them passing that spoon back and forth between them and giggling like idiots. The servers kept smiling at them, but Rodimus couldn’t help but think they probably thought they were on something, but that didn’t matter, because his friend seemed to have forgotten about his woes by the time they were done with the treat. That mirth was somewhat cut short by one of the servers coming back with the bill though.

      Sideswipe looked a bit worried again, and Rodimus knew just how to fix it.

      “We’re gonna split it.” He told the server with a smile.

      Sideswipe looked stunned, but his face lit up when he winked at him.
