Chromedome let out a long sigh as he made his way to Swerve's. It has been a long day for many reasons one of the biggest reasons was what happened with Sunder, being glad that was all over and that none of his friends were hurt he could say he was lucky. He walked into the bar seeing most of the crew was in there having a good time most of them were already drunk out of their minds. Chromedome laughs softly at them glad that the lost light was filled with joy again. Getting a drink from Swerve then going to sit down at one of them tables he sipped on his drink on his drink thinking about everything that had happened to day. His thoughts were cut off when he looked up seeing the bars doors open as some more mechs walked in "Everyone on the lost light is gonna be on this ship at this rate" He said under his breath before taking another sip of his drink |

Wow was Swerve's crowded. Rewind politely elbowed his way through a rowdy gaggle of mechs standing around laughing near the entrance, giving a quick "excuse me". Not that he was sure they even noticed it through their conversation, and their drunkenness, and probably especially their tallness. There were times he appreciated his size (and he'd never give up his shape), but being in crowds of people upwards of twice his height sure wasn't one of them. At least it was more manageable when he had someone tall like Chromedome helping him get through the crowd. Speaking of Chromedome, was he in here? Rewind hadn't seen his conjunx since before Sunder's attack on the ship, and he was worried - Chromedome hadn't come back to their habsuite while they'd been on lockdown. Rewind supposed there could be a benign explanation, but especially considering Sunder himself had been some freaky new kind of mnemosurgeon...he was worried. It was worrying. Between the crowd and Rewind's height, however, Rewind wasn't sure he'd know if even Optimus Prime himself turned up in this bar. He sighed. He didn't want to have to climb up onto a table again - last time he'd resorted to that some drunk stranger had yelled at him to "dance, little bot!" and Rewind wasn't particularly in the mood to repeat that experience. Fortunately, before it came to that, some of the crowd in front of him cleared and with some relief he spotted Chromedome sitting by himself at one of the tables. Rewind squeezed his way through to where he was sitting. "Hey, there you are," he said, trying to keep his tone light as he pulled himself up onto a chair. "I've been looking for you since they called the all-clear." I've been wondering where you were even before that, he didn't say. |

Chromedome looks at Rewind very happy to see the little bot "Oh sorry, I-I was looking for you but after a while i just thought you came here......your ok right?" He said reaching over the table grabbing the little bot's hands gently holding them in his own. He couldn't deal with the idea of Rewind getting hurt in any type of way, it made him very upset at even the smallest of dents on his small conjunx Endura. glancing around the bar seeing all the tall mechs standing around made him wonder how much of a hard time Rewind had trying to get thought stuck a coward. Looking back Rewind he couldn't help but feel a bit bad for not right away looking for him. He hoped greatly that the small historian wasn't mad at him because of him. |

Seeing Chromedome's concern made any apprehension Rewind had still had melt away. "Yeah, I'm okay," he said softly, giving a gentle squeeze back to the larger hands holding his. Nothing bad had happened to him during the attack, after all, even if he'd shuddered to hear what had happened to other people. And wherever Chromedome had been, Rewind was glad to know he'd seemed to have stayed okay. "But what I wanted to ask was...are you okay?" Rewind looked up so he could look Chromedome directly in the optics. "I know the attack was from some other new kind of mnemosurgeon, and I don't know where you were while all that was going on, and." He ex-vented quietly and tried to keep his mind from straying to the worst, giving Chromedome's hands another soft squeeze - this time to reassure himself. "Were you...did you get involved in that somehow, Chromedome?" Rewind hoped his tone sounded more like concern than accusation, but he knew his conjunx knew he disapproved of him using his "skills". But he really hoped Chromedome knew that disapproval was born out of love, and concern for him, as well. |

Chomedome looks down at their hands noticing Rewind's tight grip on his own before looking up at Rewind. He knew Rewind hated when he used his needles and for good reason it could one day get him killed. But he knew he couldn't ever lie to the other without him feeling horrible about it and Rewind knowing that wasn't the truth. "I'm okay and....I did get involved.......me,Megatron and Thunderclash had gotten Sunder away from Skids and Rung then I had to " he stops himself taking in a long and deep intake before continuing "seal away the memories that were hurting Skids........." he said as he stared at their hands gently squeezing the small bot's hands. After a couple of seconds Chromedome looks up at Rewind just seeing the other mech made Chromedome feel better but he worried sense he had used his needles Rewind would be a bit upset, hopefully Rewind would understand that he had to keep Skids from hurting himself |

Rewind listened as Chromedome explained his involvement with a simultaneous sense of relief and that familiar mix of worry and frustrated disappointment that came whenever Chromedome injected again. It could have been much worse, after all, but at the same time... He nodded silently. "Okay," he said. "Okay. That makes sense. Thank you for telling me." He was - the only thing worse than Chromedome injecting was him doing it behind Rewind's back. "I mean, it does sound like you were helping Skids, and I don't know if I can argue with that...but that's how it is every time, isn't it?" He paused, wanting the next part to be something that sunk in. "It's always something important, or something you need to do, or it's something that only you can do it, and all those times it adds up, and all those explanations and excuses hardly ever seem to end, and...if you die injecting someday - and please don't - how many of them will have been worth it?" Rewind sighed. "Just something to think about." Then, he reached up to gently touch Chromedome's arm. "But most importantly, I'm glad you're okay, Domey." |

Chromedome looked at Rewind's hand that was now on his arm. He nodded his head in agreement before lifting up one of his own hands placing it on Rewind's cheek "And I'm glad that you are okay.......and that nothing bad had happened to either of us......." he said before taking a deep intake once again thinking about the question Rewind had just asked "And I understand it's hard I'm the only one who can help people when those type of......emergencies happen and I know you worry about me when I inject.......and I swear I try not to do it the best I can ......for you but sometimes people need me and if I ever do ......die...........I know it's gonna be doing it helping someone......" he said gently rubbing Rewind's cheek knowing talking about each other's end was a hard topic for the both of them sense they have seem each other die in other universes "I love you Rewind and I you know I won't let anything stand in between me and you right?" he said tilting his head slightly |

Though he knew Chromedome was trying to reassure him, Rewind tried not to let his disappointed exasperation show on his face. Why couldn't Chromedome ever understand? He bit back a response on whether mnemosurgery was really the best way to help people. For just one thing, Chromedome had injected on Tailgate not even a full cycle before the Sunder attack, and while from what Rewind had heard, it had helped resolve whatever Tailgate had gotten themself into but given that Tailgate had been unconscious and thus unconsenting at the time...it troubled him. (Rewind still wanted to ask them exactly what'd happened there, not feeling comfortable asking Chromedome given how he'd obtained that information.) And that was just the start of it - not even to mention the circumstances around this Lost Light's Rewind's death, which still very much troubled him, to put it lightly. But all that aside, Chromedome could be doing the most consensual, beneficial mnemosurgery in the world and Rewind still wouldn't like it. Instead of arguing any of these points he just let his head rest into Chromedome's hand, leaning in to the familiar touch. He really didn't want to get back into the same old arguments so soon after they'd gotten each other back. "I know," he said softly. But you say that, and then you keep breaking your promise to me, and while the last thing I want is for anything to get between us either...I don't want you to keep hurting yourself with this. I love you too." Wanting to lighten the mood, he nuzzled his faceplate against Chromedome's palm and chuckled. "You hear that? You're not allowed to be okay with dying. It counts as part of your promise." |

Chromedome could sense Rewind trying to change the mood and he was good with it. Times like this was supposed to be happy,times were everything that went wrong only a couple of hours ago is washed off the spark allowing any mech or femme time to think of why they keep fighting. He chuckles softly at Rewind's words. "Alright, I won't ever die then I'll stay here by your side forever you know to love you.....and make sure you don't get stepped on by other bots.....like that one time" He said rubbing his thumb gently on Rewind's faceplate with another light chuckle knowing how hard it was for the smaller mech to move around being the smallest one in the crew. |

Rewind scoffed with mostly-exaggerated indignation. “I can take care of myself just fine, you know!” He chose to ignore his earlier frustration getting through the bar for the sake of the overall point. It was one thing for him or maybe another minibot to privately complain about the struggles of being their size when the rest of the world was so big, but he wasn't going to let Chromedome get away with it. And he'd managed to make his way, hadn't he? “That getting-stepped-on was one time and he stepped on my foot more than anything else. Plus that mech apologized unlike a certain someone who just loves to pick on my size and shape all the time.” The bar was getting even more crowded and noisy than before. Rewind scooted his seat closer to Chromedome's and pulled the big arm that wasn't currently quite comfortably touching his face around his body in a loose hug. “Doesn't mean I don't appreciate my big tall helper or ever want to lose him, though,” he said fondly, looking up at Chromedome. “As long as he doesn't get a big – well, bigger head about it.” |

Chromedome laughs softly, gently pulling Rewind close to him with the arm the smaller mech had wrapped around himself "I love making fun of your size because I love even more how you get all defensive about it" He said before glancing around the bar noticing that almost everyone was in the bar at this point, No wonder it was getting so loud. He looks back down at Rewind "and I was just saying with all these people I don't want anything bad to happen because they couldn't see you.......after all this is supposed to be a happy time sense we all made it thought what just happened and I don't want us to be spending it in the medical bay with First-aid" He said rubbing his thumb on Rewind's face, no matter what would have gotten the mini bot there, the idea of Rewind in the medical bay haunted him. |

Rewind was all ready to playfully swat at Chromedome for that size comment until he realized that would just prove his point, and chose to just give a dramatically resigned sigh in response. He hadn't gotten his conjunx to quit either the size or the alt-mode bashing in the many centuries they'd been together, it wasn't going to happen tonight. And tonight he just wanted to enjoy being together. "That comment about the medibay goes for you too, you know," he said, still light-hearted but sincere, warmth in his gaze and his tone. "Don't make me nag you about injecting again, Domey! You can protect yourself from that much easier than I can make my way through a crowd of some unnecessarily big people." He waggled his finger at Chromedome with those words, but then wrapped that arm around his waist and stroked his side softly. "I never want to see you hurt again either." |

Chromedome nods his head in agreement "that is true....so lets try not end up in the medical bay tonight after all we are supposed to be celebrating......." He said in a soft and caring tone to his conjunx before looking at Rewind's hand that was gently rubbing his side. He gently chuckled at this before moving his own arm that was around down to the smaller mech's waist. He then leaned over putting his head on top of Rewind's smaller head, before thinking of something to try to not make his conjunx worry about getting hurt when he injects. "And don't worry Rewind I won't be planning to hurt myself anytime.......as long as I have you I won't be doing anything stupid........" He said rubbing Rewind's waist gently to let him know that he truly meant what he said,making Rewind worried was the last thing Chromedome wanted to do. |

Rewind gave a soft "mmph" sound, wanting to believe Chromedome's words but doubting how long he'd keep from doing the one dangerous thing Rewind really wanted him to give up. Did Chromedome even really think about how bad mnemosurgery was for him every time he did it? The bad reactions, the nightmares, the death risk, the addictiveness...maybe short-term the reactions didn't last long enough for the medibay, but even if Chromedome would always shrug them off afterwards Rewind was left to worry about the long-term consequences. Not wanting to think about losing him yet again, he wrapped his arm even tighter around Chromedome and snuggled in as close to his side as possible while their foreheads were still touching. "And as long as I have you I'll be doing my best to keep you from doing anything stupid too," he said and leaned in to give Chromedome's faceplate a quick nuzzle with his own. "Hey wait, if we're supposed to be celebrating, why don't I have a drink?" he cast a glance at Chromedome's own seemingly-forgotten glass still sitting on the table. "I'd go up and get one but I don't think I want to leave your arms." |

Chromedome looks at his drink that he had put down before looking at Rewind and nodding his head softly "Yeah it would be a shame to have to let go of you.......But I have to ideas, the first one is you can have the rest of my drink and we don't have to go anywhere but that means you only get half a drink.........or I can carry you over to the bar so you don't have to walk and then we don't need to split up" he said tilting his head softly He looks around at all the bots that were in the bar,he looks at Rewind gently petting Rewind's side "also those two choices would be best sense there is so many people in here it would be ten times worse then before when you where trying to get to me" He said softly before grabbing the drink of the table then looking at Rewind softly |
