Oh, so why exactly were you looking at that ladies’ clothing magazine that one time, man?
Come on, Elec, lighten up! You’re way too static. Dad didn’t program you specifically to be a big stick in the mud!
Ah don’t think he’s capable of ‘lightening’ up… but he’s good at sparkin’ my interest!
Now what’s this ‘bout a gal’s clothin’ magazine?
You crack me up, Bomb.
Too bad Elec’s not a good smiler! Hyahahahahahaha, see what I did there!Don’t be tellin’ him that, Cut. Ya’ll know how perfect he likes t’make himself out t’be. *there’s a long pause as he squints at his screen. Wait for it…* Wait, wait, ah see it now! That was a pretty good’un Cut! Hahahaha…haaa… ah needed one of yer jokes!
Yeah, I thought it was funny! Hope he’s not too shocked. Elec just needs to loosen up a little.
I do not need to loosen up. And secondly, I am not a woman.
Ah come on, Elec, I thought his jokes were pretty slick.
What do you like in a woman?

Same things I look for in anyone else. The fact that I love them.
Are you a virgin?

A hip cat doesn’t kiss and tell.
Plug glided in following Magma, the tail of his jacket flapping behind him as he moved. He rolled up his sleeves to his elbows before quickly slipping beside his younger brother to get to the running water for a moment before retreating to the refrigerator to fetch the eggs they had. Force of habit really.
” No bacon for me if that’s alright Cut, ” Plug commented to his elder brother, ” I don’t eat meat. “
“Bacon is awesome,” he told Oil Man as if this were important and factual information. Sometimes what Cut Man wanted most in life was too abstract or complex to put into words alone; this was not one of those times. Bacon’s awesome.
Heading towards the fridge, he turned to Plug and gave him a smile with a fake salute. “Gotcha, no bacon then. More for me! Hahahaha!” He quickly opened the freezer to pull out bacon, still wrapped up. They kept most of their “junk food” somewhat hidden from Dr. Light these days, but today was an exception.
“Just be sure to work off breakfast, Dad,” Cut teasingly lectured his father.
They
were taking
AGES.
Tornado tended to wait for most of the other Light bots to leave the kitchen before he went in to get something for himself. Normally if it had just been Plug and Cut, hell, even Magma, he would have sauntered right in there like he was the king of the Lab. But with Oil and That Man in there, there was no way he was going in. There was no way.
Okay, maybe there was a way. Tornado, even after beating himself silly over it, still hadn’t visited Magma since after he’d gotten repaired the other night. And it was driving him nuts. Like, legitimately, if he could, he’d probably be puking right now. But there was nothing to puke, and no reason to, other than the awfully, oddly real sinking feeling in his gut.
He didn’t trust Light. He didn’t trust Oil, not yet. He was terrified of walking in there and finding a completely different Magma, one that had been ‘fixed’, tampered with— God.
Tornado wouldn’t be able to handle it.
But he needed to know that Mags was okay.
He’d been waiting outside the kitchen for what felt like eons. No one had ventured in or out since he’d gotten there, and it wasn’t like anyone would have noticed him anyway, seeing as he was hovering just above it and no one ever looked up. But the suspense was killing him. Tornado lowers himself to the ground quietly and takes a meaningless deep breath of air, but he doesn’t even have it in him to make a spectacle. The breath sags out of him as he slouches over and shoves his hands in his pockets, making a beeline for Magma.
“Hey, Mags,” he greets, gently, carefully. “How you doin’, man?”
Oil greased up the skillet, preparing the hot surface for the sweet batter, “Hey Hey Tornado, I see that you’re up and at them, would you like to pitch in for breakfast?” he offered with a smile to his aerial inclined brother.
Tornado always seemed distant to Oil, and the mechanically interested light bot wished to change that. They were family and family should stick together.

Question? Will there be cheeseburgers?I usually make popcorn, but maybe we’ll have BBQ instead! After all, it IS almost summer time.
If you’re doing this in my house that’s going to be rather difficult. There’s considerable distance between the couch and the front yard.
If I might cut in, I’m down for offering up my place. I’ve got a big lot in the back, and it’s a pretty central location.
Oh good! Would Spring be joining us as well then?
If he’s free Mags, He spends a lot time with friends and family as well.
The current President of Russia is ROBOPUTIN. I have decided.
He will remain in office for as long as he breathes
And so long as he is an unkillable cyborg, that will be a long, long time
Then it’s settled!
Nado, you’re ALWAYS invited to my bro-a-thons! Come join us!

“But how can I admit to Knight that I’ve lusted after someone? If I were in his place, I would be devastated.”
Flame rubbed at his eyes as he tried to keep the emotion from his voice. ”Even if I reassure him with how much I love him, will that be enough to keep his doubts at bay?”
“Your actions, Everyone feels lust, even when they’re with someone. It’s one thing to feel something and a completely different thing to act on it,” Oil said as he turned all his attention towards Flame, “I’m sure that Knight will understand your feelings and he’ll be relieved that you told him. Secrets are a surefire way to ruin a relationship.”
The firebot nodded. “You are right. I have never acted on my impulses and I don’t ever plan to. Knight is everything to me and I will not have my selfish desires destroy what happiness we have together. This might be the hardest thing that I will have to confess to him, but like you said, secrets shouldn’t be kept between partners.”
He then extended a hand. “Thank you Oil for lending your ear and for giving your advise. Now I’m confident on how I can deal with this problem of mine. Perhaps given some time, I will stop thinking of my friend in such a way.”
“It’s what a boss does, my employees troubles are my troubles. I do my best to keep this garage running trouble free,” Oil said to the arabic bot as he got up and rested a hand on Flame’s shoulder, “I wish ya the best, friend. I hope this will all work out.”
“Yes…well it’s caused me great distress, this lust of mine,” continued Flame. “The man that I have these feelings towards does not have the highest moral integrity either. It makes my feelings for him even worse. Why am I attracted to a man who has no remorse for human deaths? Someone that hates humanity with a passion? I shouldn’t be attracted to him….” he then pause with a sigh.
“Yet I am. And now I’m jealous of my friend because he can have him, while I cannot. It’s irrational, not to mention sinful. I should be perfectly content with what I have already.”
“It seems like this cat is bad news. But the heart does want what the heart wants, and there’s no real way of changing that,” the maintenance bot offered his observations on the matter while nodding his head, “It seems to me that you’ve got to talk about this with your parnter, Knight, he’s got a right to know about your conflicts.”
“But how can I admit to Knight that I’ve lusted after someone? If I were in his place, I would be devastated.”
