Work Text:
Breakdown was surprised when Goldbug flinched from his touch. All Breakdown wanted to do was grab his shoulder, he didn't know it would be a bad thing.
“I don't want to talk about it.”
Goldbug looked away from the other mech, hanging his helm low.
“Please, you can tell me anything.”
Breakdown attempted to be comforting.
“Please, just leave it alone.”
Breakdown thought for a moment.
“Was it…was it from Optimus…?”
Goldbug was set off, turning to Breakdown in anger and pushing him away.
“I said to leave it alone!”
Breakdown was hurt by this, but he tried to understand. He did push it when Goldbug said to leave it alone, so it was technically his fault.
“I'm sorry. If you do ever want to talk though-”
“I don't.”
“Right…but I'm always here to talk. I'll always be there for you.”
Breakdown tried to give Goldbug a comforting smile.
Goldbug was silent for a moment.
“Thanks.”
“Of course.”
