Tales of the Tooniverse (A Cartoon Crossover Fanfiction)

Bonds of Steel

"HAHAHAHA! So THAT'S how you lost a fight to Toxzon?!"

"Oh C'mon Fix, how was I supposed to see that cement truck out of the blue!"

The Ultralink Steel and the non binary Minicon Fix-It were currently doing maintenance for the junkyard base of the Crown City based Autobot team. As they performed maintenance, they recalled many tales of their grand adventures while enjoying each other's company.

Fix-It: You most certainly have quilt.....quaint....QUITE the list of achievements under your name Steel. Oh how I wish I was as strong and brave as you.

Steel's screen like face couldn't help but blush at that comment. He already knew that he served a vital role to Max Mcgrath's various superheroes outings, but he always just assumed that they were only small contributions. But hearing how Fixit was completely enamored by Steel's good deeds, so much so that hey exaggerate it a bit, that act alone made Steel's mechanical heart flutter. And he didn't know what to do with these newfound feelings.

Steel: Oh c'mon, Fix. You do plenty of awesome stuff here and on Cybertron! So don't go and sell yourself short, pal!

If Fix-It's body could allow for blushing, they'd be doing it furiously right now

Fix-It: Well jeez Steel, keep going and you're going make my circuits overheat!"

Steel: Hehehe, yeah. Speaking of....I've been meaning to ask you how that Cybertron stuff has been going since our last get together.

Fix-It seemed to beam with pride as soon as Steel mentioned their work on Cybertron.

Fix-It: Actually Steel, there is something I've been meaning to ask you about in relation to that.....

Steel: Really? Well lay it on me, chief!

Fix-It: I wanted to wait until the right time to tell you this but....I'm getting a promotion as an archivist on Cybertron. It's a more hamds on job that focuses on exploration and research. Luckily for you I uhhh....put in a suggestion to have you working with me back on Cybertron!

Steel paused as he blankly stared at Fix-It.

Fix-It: Kamen.....Ramen.....C'MON STEEL! You're kinda freaking me out here with your silent treatment.

Steel: That's......awesome, Fix-It.

Fix-It's brows furrowed as they looked at Steel with a large amount of concern. They placed a hand on Steel's shoulder and looked into his one eye

Fix-It: So whaddya think Steel. C'mon be honest. Tell me what your stance is.

Steel looked away  in consideration and sighed as he finally gave them his heartbreaking answer.
