[Have soft purring and a cheek smooch.]

Mhmmmm- made my engine hiccup and everything, sweetspark.

It is not just a “mustache”, it is the last remaining symbol of the house of Ambus, and for all the flaws and missteps my lineage contains, I will not see it handed around like costume jewelry.

[sniffs]

I don’t even take it off… for Drift.

[notastupidredbastard]

You started this Roddy. Mims can confirm that when I get started I don't stop.

[notastupidredbastard]

Nah, I never ask- I think it's quite charming all things considered.

If you want, of course!

[And when Brainstorm is more steady on his feet, Drift gives him another kiss- warm and soft and lingering before it breaks and Drift murmurs against the jet’s lipplating.]

See you soon, sweetspark.

Oh, Drift’s back around again.

[notastupidredbastard]

Mm, I’m glad. I’ll comm you when I have the offship requests filed, eh? 

[And with that, and another kiss to Brainstorm’s cheek- Drift had gotten to his feet and offered a hand to help Brainstorm up as well.]

Oh, Drift’s back around again.

[notastupidredbastard]

[A soft snort, and an affectionate grin.]

Nah, I’m not good at jokes- Don’t like makin’ them much either.

[And with that, taking advantage of Brainstorm’s hands being out of the way; Drift’s claw hooks under the side of the facemask, popping it free and away and giving him access to land a warm and sweet kiss on Brainstorm.]

Oh, Drift’s back around again.

[notastupidredbastard]

[A rumble of engines when Drift tackles him down- His grin is wild but sweet, and he nuzzles his way past Brainstorm’s hands to gently touch foreheads together.]

Y’like fireworks? There’s a really cool display comin’ up at our next shoreleave stop- late season equinox festival, can get out in the open air, see the sights and colors and all that?

Oh, Drift’s back around again.

[notastupidredbastard]

[Another heavy rev and Drift lets himself fall back just a little- just enough to give him room to kick hard and leap at Brainstorm with intent to playfully tackle him down. He wonders, for a moment, if the jet will let it happen or keep the chase going?]

Oh, Drift’s back around again.

[notastupidredbastard]

[A rev of his engine, and he’s off- it’s easy to keep pace with Brainstorm and he laughs as he sprints, making sure to keep an arm length behind the entire time.]

Oh, Drift’s back around again.

[notastupidredbastard]

[A laugh- low and smooth and some kind of fond.]

Percy was right- you ARE cute when you stammer.

[He’s beckoning Brainstorm a little closer.]

Remember that little game of chase we had, when you were in a bit of a... whatsitcalled, Moth Time?

Wanna have another chase...? If you outrun me I’ll let you pick where the first date is~

[A wink.]

Oh, Drift’s back around again.

[notastupidredbastard]

Uh-huh.

[An amused grin.]

So, I’ve wanted to ask you- There a reason why you and Percy had to discuss the whole... claw repair thing?

[He LOOKS like he knows something that he’s not telling.]

Oh, Drift’s back around again.

[notastupidredbastard]

I’m always AROUND- I just don’t like crowds. Or talking, sometimes.

You been keeping an eye out for me, Storm- that why you decided to comment?

Oh, Drift’s back around again.

[notastupidredbastard]

Oh no you are not.

If you’re a “Sir” I’m a terran Catholic.

Are you a “Daddy” or a “baby girl?”

HELLO????

[notastupidredbastard]

Send my muse an anonymous nightmare.

It could be about your muse, or someone else’s, or about a past trauma my muse has experienced. Send more than one ask if need be for length!

[notastupidredbastard]

[The alarms have stopped. The rot has receded and he can finally relax- stop leaning against the barricade against the door and... And then the sound of plating crackling apart- plating that had been made not by medics but artists- pretty but delicate. And Drift coughs hoarsely and tastes old water and new rust.]

[notastupidredbastard]

[Feline screaming, the sound of burning.]

THIS SHIT STINKS LIKE WET I HATE IT BAD NOSE FEEL 

[Gagging noise.]
