IDW Sideswipe*It seemed like it had been forever since Siders and his twin returned from their trip, and at the time he'd been happy... over joyed even. Of course when the news about Mirage being missing... and seriously hurt had been

*Clings as Sideswipe rolls, laughing, keeping his fingers moving despite his hand being trapped between Sideswipe and the ground.* Surrender! *He wraps his free arm over Sideswipe’s shoulder and slings a leg around his waist. He stops tickling and orders through his giggling.* Ok. Stand up. Walk to the Shack. Once you finish your energon, I’ll remove my hand.

*he peers over his shoulder at Blurr, lifting an optic ridge at the mech clinging to him. Rolling his optics he pushes himself up and gets to his pedes.* You can't make me drink, you do realize that don't you? I'll just sit on your aft and squish you again.

[idw_blurr]

Sure I can. *He smirks wiggling his fingers threateningly, hooking his other leg around the frontliner’s waist so he’s riding on his back. He takes a moment to recall the human words, and snickers.* Tally-ho! To the kitchen! *He would add in a dramatic pointing of his finger, but with one hand buried in Sideswipe’s side, and the other keeping him on the warrior’s back, he didn’t dare loosen his grip even slightly.*

*heaving an exaggerated sigh he turns and tromps loudly towards the building.* I'm going to squish you. You do know this right? Flat. Like a blue bug. And when I'm done squishing you... I'm going to kick you into the river, and bury you under a few really large rocks. *he's not looking forward to heading back inside, he doesn't want to be anywhere near any of them... not right now. But he's unwilling to admit, even to himself, that he's a little bit afraid... and his tank churns uncomfortably at the very idea of putting any energon into it.*

[idw_blurr]

Mmhmm. I tremble with fear. *Though when they get closer to the Shack, he lets Sideswipe go, grinning at him, and darting ahead. He can guess at why Sideswipe wouldn’t want to go inside, and glances around. Faking a frown, he holds the door open, and looks back.* Everyone must still be locked away. It’s weird. This place is always so noisy and busy. *He shrugs, letting Sideswipe in before moving into the kitchen to grab a couple cubes.* Think it’s cooler outside too. You want to go back to the river with these?

*he hovers near the door, not stepping any further inside, optics darting around nervously as if he were expecting mechs to just jump out of the walls at him. He blinks, looking at his friend, barely even hearing what he's saying. He hears 'outside' and 'go back' and turns around, pushing the door open.* Yeah let's do that... *he mutters before slipping out and walking quickly back the direction they'd come from without waiting for the other the catch up.*

[idw_blurr]

*Mutters to himself,* Wow, *then chases after Sideswipe. It’s not hard for him to catch up, but it saddens him. The moment of levity is over, and all he can offer is his presence. He holds out the cube, knowing Sideswipe needs it even if he doesn’t want it, biting his lip, and unsure what more to say.*

*He looks up as Blurr gets closer, offering him a somewhat embarrassed, half smile.* Sorry... I just... can't step pede in there without getting overwhelmed with all that negative energy... *And now he feels guilty for letting himself have even the slightest bit of relief from the heavy guilt weighing him down. He shouldn't be enjoying himself when Mirage is still so badly wounded... Staring down at the energon being offered to him, he sighs, taking it and staring into it.* Thanks...

[idw_blurr]

*He bumps his shoulder lightly against Sideswipe’s.* It’ll be ok. *It’s a lame and cliché thing to say, but he really believes it. Wants to.*

IDW Sideswipe

*he gives Blurr's shoulder a light shove, bringing the cube up under his nose and sighing as he stares into it.* You're a good friend... and.... well... I appreciate - all of this. *Whispering as he forces himself to take a drink.* Even if it doesn't seem like it...

[idw_blurr]

*He smiles gratefully, and shuts his mouth, knowing it’s time to be silent company.*
