spent my life waiting for a sight of the sea
Who: Ironhide + Chromia
Where: The AQUARIUM!!
When: 8/13, evening
Summary: In all Ironhide's wandering around the city, he finds something he thinks is pretty neat. So, he decides to share it with someone he thinks is pretty neat. But it's totally not a date.
Warnings: None
[Something good, at least, had come out of all his wanderings, all his attempts to avoid other Cybertronians. He thought he should tell Nautica, but as fond as he was of her, the scientific explanations of it all would ruin it. He didn't want to bother Ratchet -- Primus knew the medic had enough to deal with.]
[So...]
[He turned up on Chromia's doorstep. She might not appreciate it as much as he hoped, but she wouldn't be adverse, he had a feeling. It meant getting out to stretch her legs, at the very least. And the chances of running into any other Cybertronian were fairly low.]
[... He totally wasn't excited. No, never. Excitement was for younger, less jaded bots than he was. Antsy. Yeah, sure. That was a better word.]
[Still. His hand practically vibrated as he knocked.]
Chromia.
You in? It's just me.

Don't be. I uh...
I had fun.
[Good. Words are good. It wasn't anything close to what she wanted to say, which was really just her cursing herself. She didn't want Ironhide to feel bad.
But her legs betray her. They want to leave, but not before she gives an arm pat.]
I'll...I'll see you around.
[QUICKLY EXITING!!]
no subject
[No, really, what.]
[Out of all the reactions he expected, that isn't it. He just sort of stares at her. There's nothing he can say. Words just... don't come. He just watches as she touches his arm. As she turns...]
[Walks away.]
Chromia...
[Maybe he's just being sensitive. Maybe it's just things getting to him. But as she turns, as she disappears down the hall, the whole place seems to grow darker.]
[... This isn't how it's supposed to be... ]
