Earth: DriftRod

Warm.

Drift feels warm.

A warmth comparable to that of when Earth’s sun hit his hood in his alt mode for the first time. A warmth similar to a cube of energon, heated to a consistency so fluid, that the first sip felt intoxicating.

He opens his eyes to see Rodimus’ Matrix-blue optics staring at him, somewhat embarrassed. They make eye contact for a moment, before Rodimus’ eyes dart away. The warmth starts to slip away, the air around him starts cooling. And Drift shivers.

“Don’t,” Drift says. Rodimus looks back at him. “It’s alright. It felt nice.”

The warmth returns quickly. And he puts an arm around Rodimus, bringing him closer. “Thanks,” he whispers, “Love you.”

“Love you too, Drift.”
