A few days after Bumblebee kissed Sideswipe, the younger mech is mostly alone in some corner of the scrapyard, still, with his faceplates on. Normally on someday like that, Sideswipe would have his legs tucked up to his chest and crying softly.
Strongarm had noticed Sideswipe's change of action and decided to check on him. "Hey Sideswipe?" She asked when she found Sideswipe doing what he would normally do when he's avoiding Bumblebee so he wouldn't get kissed again. "Yeah?" Sideswipe answered and looked up, with his faceplates on. "I have noticed that you've been acting....well, odd." Strongarm admitted and Sideswipe looked away.
"Look, whatever is wrong. You can tell me." Strongarm softened Sideswipe. "Well, the thing is. It's that....Bumblebee had uh.....kissed me." Sideswipe sadly admitted and tucked his head away into his knees again. "What?" Strongarm questioned surprisingly. "You heard me. Bee kissed me." Sideswipe answered again. "And.....?" Strongarm asked for why Sideswipe was acting odd. "I've been trying to avoid being kissed again." Sideswipe replied once more.
Sideswipe looked up with tear-filled eyes and asked. "What do I do?" Strongarm didn't know how to answer this. But she did know that Bumblebee had lost a mate, several mates actually, during or after the war they all had died.
"Sideswipe, I don't know what to do. But what I do know is that Bumblebee likes you, he wants you to be his mate." Strongarm replied seriously and walked off. That wasn't helpful.... Sideswipe thought and went back to his own business.
