( that’s quite alright. springer is here for it, & leaning heavily forward as the moment progresses, his servo braving a sultry scathe up the medic’s inner thigh. )
⠀

⠀
( nods his helm simply for the purpose of rubbing their cheeks together, the warmth absorbed & blooming a smile on his lips. kissy.. ) ⠀ you’ve got me, aid.
⠀

⠀
i was, but you’re a safe person generally speaking. i knew you’d take care of yourself in my absence. ⠀ ( smiles & drops a servo to rub on his thigh. )
⠀

⠀
that’s alright. ⠀ ( springer mutters against his lips, twirling them around in order to plant his aft on the couch & pull first aid into his lap. ) ⠀ you stayed safe and out of that weather. good enough for me. ⠀ ( arms laid over the backrest. )
⠀

⠀
( the sound of an amused burst of air is heard, the wide span of his shoulders jostled. ) ⠀ let him.. ⠀ ( spoken between a flurry of kisses. ) ⠀ i missed you too. so damn much. ⠀ ( servos slid down his sides, affection resuming. )
⠀

⠀
i wouldn’t say it’s gotten any better out there but it’s definitely not any worse. ⠀ ( he says with a smile, remaining still so first aid can complete his reassuring scan. there’s nothing worth noting that he knows of. ) ⠀ i’ve been fine. you?
⠀

⠀
( overlooks the bottle.. gaze returning onto the medic. ) ⠀ drinking all on your own, handsome?
⠀

⠀
( no need. he’s managed to find his way home. )
⠀

⠀
this is your place, not mine. you can do whatever you want to do regardless of what i want. ⠀ ( he smiles, digits moving to scratch at the creatures shoulders. )
⠀

⠀
( springer isn’t cruel! even if the animal is admittedly more dirty than he’d like. ) ⠀ they need a good washing up. i think they’re itchy.
⠀

⠀
i don’t intend to come off that way— i’m sorry, but i really only see it around your place. ⠀ ( eyeballing the little critter for a moment before dropping down & reaching out to scratch behind its ears. )
⠀

⠀
hm. i wouldn’t know. i only ever see it here. ⠀ ( it’s certainly picked the right mech to attached itself to. )
⠀

⠀
it’s back?
⠀

⠀
( clears his throat… quietly. )
⠀

⠀
( pokes his helm outside. )
⠀

⠀
just keeping an eye on things. ⠀ ( things one & two, cooly sipping his beverage. )
⠀

⠀
( triple changer to triple changer, this could go one of two ways. ominously stood between first aid & the peacock he’s assumed guardianship over. glaring. )
⠀

⠀
not a problem. don’t run off and get lost on me. i’ll be back. ⠀ ( wink! turned around & seeking out the beverage counter. )
⠀

⠀
( the bird is immediately snuggling him. thank you kind stranger. first aid just has that helpful aura. ) ⠀ can i get you a drink?
⠀

⠀
( ruben isn’t entirely frightened per say, more so alarmed at the sea of mecha in his HOUSE. running into first aid’s arms. ) ⠀ you just have a calling for those in need. ⠀ ( big or small! )
⠀

⠀
i don’t remember his name. but that’s a pet. hot shot brought him around once before. ⠀ ( ruben knows you, springer, but first aid is new. cautiously approaching. )
⠀

⠀
i think we’re being followed.
⠀

⠀
he’s got lots of room to— grow? here. ⠀ ( why springer hasn’t invested in a house of his own is beyond everyone. he’s more than able to. )
⠀

⠀
first ones here. ⠀ ( first aid was adamant on that. stepping inside with a whistle. it’s big..! )
⠀

⠀
put a bow on yourself and call it a day. ⠀ ( one gift!! )
⠀

⠀
i’d like you to stay home instead. i’ve got everything i need. ⠀ ( kiss, kiss. right on top of his helm. )
⠀

⠀
without me? ⠀ ( rumbled purring, his face drug along first aid’s helm in some affectionate form of nuzzling. )
⠀

⠀
anytime, aid. ⠀ ( moves his arms out from behind the medic’s back, allowing him to slump all the way against his front. helm placed on his shoulder, arms around his middle & servos holding innocently onto his chassis. )
⠀

⠀
( with the way the plating runs on his back, it aligns naturally similar to a track piece. & when springer uses his thumbs to instill a forceful push, it snaps & returns to its natural position with an audible click. apologetic rubbing.. ) ⠀how’s that?
⠀

⠀
cycle a deep one for me. you’re going to want to.
