"Brother?"

Wolfy asks, crossing his arms as he stares at the intruder.

"Hunf. As if you have the right to call me that. Only other sweeps have the right to call me 'brother'... Prime's clone."

Singularity finally managed to cross the Sweeps unnoticed, reaching a nearby cave. It was a large, silent place, and it seemed empty as well. A good place for her to stay.

However, as Singularity began to explore the cave more deeply, she realized she wasn't alone. A deep voice spoke to her.

"Who dares to come here?"

From the shadows, a single Sweep emerged, staring at Singularity with a serious expression.

"What are you doing here, femme? This is my home and I don't remember inviting you in."

“Happy Valentine’s Day…?” Mourningstar tentatively greeted, presenting a lovely spread made by her own servos.

A heart-shaped tin filled with an assortment of four different truffles and petit fours; a bouquet of taffy roses and Energon lollipops mounted on rust sticks; heart-shaped dolomite-krispies treats; heart-shaped oil butter shortbread cookies; and a wonderfully warm smelted metal cake.

This time, Wolfy decided to take a walk, leaving his hiding place for a moment. Sometimes, it's good to just get out and enjoy some fresh air.

But the silence was suddenly broken by a femme's voice coming from behind him. Wolfy turned to look at Mourningstar approaching, wondering why she would come near him. But when his optics caught sight of what she was carrying... well, he had to control himself and not drool!

"Valentine's Day?" He doesn't know exactly what it is, but he pays close attention to the treats and Mournie's descriptions of each one. Then, he carefully takes the gifts, wondering to himself why she would do this and, more importantly: did he deserve to receive this?

"Dear femme, you possess a spark of gold. I don't know what I did to deserve such kindness, but I certainly thank you from the bottom of my core."

He nodded respectfully, making a slight bow. He picked up one of the truffles and took a bite. He loved it!

"Did you make all this? They're delicious!" He takes a bite of the metal cake. Even better!

That was certainly... rather strange. Could it be that, this time, Wolfy didn't know how to choose a safe place to hide and stay away from others?

"What? How... how did you find me here, femme?"

Well, at least he wasn't craving energon at the moment. He'd just fed on a random bot that dared to cross his path.

"Anyway, you're quite bold, huh? To be standing here in front of me without feeling afraid. I think I'll give you the benefit of doubt this time. What do you want?"

It was then that Mourningstar timidly pulled a tray of energon snacks from her back. Wolfy was surprised and shocked at the same time. He had been offered dark energon before, and now to see a femme offering him her snacks like this all of a sudden? He didn't know how to react. Perhaps she did this so she wouldn't become his next "meal"? It's unknow, but Wolfy wouldn't refuse a gift given to him wilingly. He approached Mourningstar and gently took the tray from her servos.

"Uhn... thank you. I don't know what I did to deserve this... kindness. But I appreciate it very much."

Gives you a pie. "Happy Pi Day."

Wolfy has no idea what Pi Day is, but he won't refuse food either. Especially not because someone was kind enough to remember him.

"Thank you so much. I appreciate it a lot."

"DO YOU WISH TO JOIN THE CELESTIAL CEILING SWEEPS?!?!"

Him? Being around other bots, even if they're sweeps? He doesn't think it's a good idea.

It's been raining quite a bit these past few days, making the cave a little chilly due to the humidity. Not to mention it's the perfect weather to relax after a good meal. That's exactly what Wolfy was doing, cuddling himself with his wings.

Just as he was about to close his optics, he heard footsteps inside his home. More intruders to deal with? Wolfy took a deep breath to stay calm.

As soon as he stood up from his seat to see who it was, the footsteps had stopped.

"What?" Wolfy found this strange, stopping on his tracks to look around, trying to understand what had happened. That's when Sweepy suddenly appeared above him and tackled him to the ground.

"Gaaaah!! Wha...?! Brother?! What are you doing here?!"

Suddenly, Sweepy simply wrapped Wolfy in his arms. But why is he cuddling with him? And Wolfy is even worth of it? But one thing was certain: the feeling of being enveloped in the arms of one of the sweeps was too good.

After a while, Wolfy did the same thing, wrapping Sweepy with his arms and wings as well.

Wait.. is it a body part of a sweep?

"Mmm.. you know, this is kind of yummy.."

"Huh?"

He turned around to see who was approaching.

"My name is not Sweepy. He is another sweep like me, one of my brothers. What do you..."

His sentence was cut short when he saw the newcomer with a sweep's arm in their mouth. His optics widened slightly.

"Whoa! Where did you get this?! It belongs to one of my brothers! Spit it out!"
