You and D-16 are best friends. Or was it lovers? It's complicated.

You both liked each other, but both of you were too afraid to admit it. But you would act like his sparkmate, like cleaning his habsuite, making dinner, and just little things like that. D-16 would surprise you with hugs from behind, take you out for walks, and even let you lay/cuddle up next to him. With no feelings... right?

After a few months of this, he started to become slightly flustered around you. Like his cheekplates would heat up, and he would avert his optics from making contact with yours, but he still did what he was doing before, but he became visibly flustered.

Then he started asking you to come over more often, and holding your hand in public when neither of you were in the mines.

Right now, he was laying on his berth, sitting up with one elbow joint propping him up, while you were straddling his hips, laying comfortably on him like usual, helm on his chassis and arms wrapped loosely around his neck cables
