Okay, yeah, I know, bad timing Sideswipe, and we've got bigger problems, Sideswipe.

But... a lot of Not So Awesome stuff is going down with a friend of mine. And ... I...

[Some of the flippant nonchalance in his voice cracks. He goes quiet. This is really hard to admit, and yes, he KNOWS there's a lot going on right now. But it's been beyond him for a long time.]

[Too long.]

I don't know how to help. I wanna.

But I don't know how.

So if anyone's got a sec? Appreciate some feedback here. Y'know, anyone who isn't gonna yell at me for bringing this up right now. That'd be great.

[Sans' perpetual grin quirks sideways.]

Love's bigger than boyfriends. N' yeah, I know you will, kid.

Gimme a call if you need. I don't got much to do most of the time. Makes me feel important to give advice, you'd be doing me a favor.

If you say so, dude.

I uh... it's kinda new. Both of those things.

Sans is sure there's plenty of room for darkness there, he's a perfect example, but it's hard to fight against nature on certain things. Even Sideswipe, for all his blustering and teenage antics, managed to worm his way into Sans' metaphorical heart.

A lot of that going around lately. Sans merely shrugs in response.]

Something like that.

[It might be different. Or it might be Sideswipe defining it too much by who you want to kiss and be romantic with. Which, let's be real, he probably is. He's a teenager with a crush, after all.]

[Friendship is... it's different. It's not 'love' yet. Not until he grows up some. Or figures out what family is.]

Maybe I'll send you my music player sometime.
