I have an idea.
It's the kind of idea that when you think about it, you go "Huh, what could possibly go wrong?"
Anyway, I need your help with something.
audio
[What could possibly go wrong is actually Whirl's callsign.]
So.
Go oooooon.
audio
[He has no doubt that Whirl does, seeing as everyone knows by now.]
I was thinking that maybe... we should make him jealous! It's bound to work!
What I'm working towards is that I think you should date me. Be my fake boyfriend for a while.
It's for a good cause.
audio
[DO YOU KNOW. HOW MUCH TIME. HE HAS SPENT. RIPPING CYCLONUS' STUPID FACE OFF ABOUT THIS.
There's a pause, and Whirl does actually take half a second to think about this, because this is probably a terrible idea.
Which means it's totally going to work.]
Ah! You've come to the right place. Seeing how Hornhead and me have our thing you bet your aft he'll be swinging in to take you back from the Whirly Bird.
Totally an awesome idea.
So glad we thought of that.
[Whirl. What.]
Re: audio
So, we need to do, uh, partner stuff.
Like cuddle.
I'd say we should kiss too, but neither of us have mouths, so I guess we could skip that.
[It's nice that Whirl is down for this, but he finds himself with a couple second thoughts. Still! Stay determined and surely something good will come of this!]
Chromedome and Rewind hold hands all the time. We should do that too. And embarrassing nicknames.
audio
[Whirl is joking. Maybe. Who the hell knows. He might not know.
There's a beat, and Whirl makes an odd little buzz sound that might be him thinking.]
We might have to get creative holding hands.
[Now that is a joke. Right?....Right?]
So. What's the plan. We keeping this up for everybody or just the holefaced wonder.
Re: audio
[Tailgate means it too. He's lived with Whirl long enough to have gotten over any weird feelings he might have had about Whirl's hands. Or lack thereof.]
I think we should make this convincing.
[He says as if anyone would believe that the two of them are actually together.]
Can I touch your face? Asking permission now for future reference.
no subject
[Whirl says intelligently.
And it takes a moment before he continues.]
Heh, you know me, Panic legs. I'm unvincible, right? No problem.
[ Liar liar. Okay so that might be literally like...the one problem. Some of the time. Only some of the time. And look he doesn't want to get murdered because he had a bad day and took a swing at Tailgate for wrong place wrong time. Everyone has bad days, right? And it's not like Tailgate's gonna laugh in his face or anything. He'll probably just get all...feelsy at him. Which is not the worst reaction he's ever had. ]
...Okay, so maybe...uh.Sure. But. If. [Whirl actually seems to take a bit to get the words out like he's sort of trying to figure out how to say...what he's saying?] If it's a bad day I'll warn you? I mean. Not like that's a big thing but- uh. Just. Sometimes. [He just...trails off.]
no subject
[Boundaries are important to establish. Tailgate's not sure where he learned that, but he must have heard someone say something about it somewhere.]
You don't have to worry about touching me! I like being touched, which is good because everyone's always picking me up and carrying me around.
Is there anything else you don't want me to do?
no subject
[Because it is easier to talk about Tailgate then to talk about himself.]
I told you. I'm unvincible. It's fine.
It's gonna be all fine.
[DISTRACTION TIME FOR WHIRL.]
We're gonna get hornhead good. Don't you worry. We'll get you partnered up to your future Junxy in no time at all.
