#and then you just grumble as you're trapped in a sleepy cage

When Eclipse’s battery gets lower does it make it hard for him to use *all* of his arms? Considering his battery gets registered as “dangerously low” would that affect his arms in anyway? Like some of them lagging behind, less accuracy, kinda like being tired/sleep deprived :o

Unrelated to any "dangerously low" signals his battery might send, but yes! If he happens to push his battery to the limit despite everything (which doesn't guarantee a crash, but makes it a lot more likely), he'd start processing and working at a lower speed as his system tries to make do with what it can. It's definitely not something he enjoys doing even without the risk of a crash because unlike you guys he does not enjoy being "sleep" deprived.

Cute thought to make up for that uncalled for callout, but he may need a guide when he gets like this - someone who'll hold his hand (or, well, have his hands hold them. He's already so touchy under the best of circumstances and gets about 100 times worse when tired/ low battery) and tug him along, remind him to duck under doorways and lead him to the nearest charger (when there's one available). Tired grumbles and mumbles and maybe nuzzles if he likes them enough! May demand cuddles though with just a bit of a whine, and four grabby hands of a too tired to be rational animatronic are not easy to escape. Sleepy nuzzles <3

“Can’t believe this,” Mike grumbled. His eyes were fixed on his foggy windows, following the raindrops as they raced across the glass. His face was clouded with disappointment, “Rain.”

“There’s nothing wrong with a little water.” You said, picking up light weighted bottles and cups off the table. You flashed a warm smile as his gaze twisted towards you, heavy and dark. You knew Mike wasn’t a fan of being caged inside with errands to attend to. Mike swore silently. “It’s probably gonna be rain all day. Man, I can’t believe this.”

Anyone would just go into their car and endure the storm, but unfortunately, it had broke down days go. Which is why he needed to horde his saving to pay it off. Until then, it was walking—and a lot of running.

Mike pulled away from the curtains with a huff, angrily shuffling towards the couch with a tired exhale. After you had finished piling up the dishes, you walked towards your crossed boyfriend while trying your hands against your sides. You tried to apply some relief by stroking his shoulder gently, which subtly worked but he was too busy brooding to appear bashful by your charm. He scoffed, sinking his head into the comfortable cushions with a sly groan.

“Come on, Mike. Lighten up.” You leaned your head on his shoulder, growing cozy. “Rainy days aren’t the end of the world, babe.” Mike's tone was hazy with annoyance, "I know, but, I have things to do. You know I hate being tardy." He snuggled up to you, "I don't want to fail anyone."

Your fingertips traced through his maze of curls with a relaxed hum, you knew how much Mike liked it when you were gentle with him. It was something he always lacked in his life, along with comfort. "You aren't failing anyone, Mike. Look, see it this way—you've been working yourself to the bone. See this as a break." He didn't say anything. So, you cupped his face and gazed into his gorgeous eyes. "Come on, Mike. Take it easy."

Mike took your hand and melted into your touch, obviously in agreement. You smiled, "Besides, rainy days are so relaxing."

"I guess you're right." Mike mumbled. He lifted himself up and gently pressed his face against yours. You kissed him softly as the rain began to pick up, making it atmospheric in a way. Mike smiled, "Thank you for cheering me up, I guess."

"You guess?" You chuckled. "Alright, nevermind that." Mike rested his sleepy face within the crook of your neck. You hugged him close, tension thinning as you gazed at the black-screened television in front of you. "How about a movie?" You suggested. "Mike?" But he didn't answer. You hadn't noticed he had already dozed off within your grasp, or at least tried to. You couldn't help but hold him closer, indulging in his warmth. It was too long before you fell asleep as well, the peaceful sound of rain relaxing your senses.
