[Well, he was an idiot, but that wasn't what he meant, or not all of what he meant. He had been trying to make excuses at first, or reasons. But here he got called an idiot, and it almost made him smile.]

[That is until the other put the breaks on like that. Oh yes he was about to raise to this change with strong protest. First off, this was his baby and you don't do that, second off, well shit man say stop, he would have stopped and parked it.]

[Just as he was about to protest however he found himself wide eyed in surprise as Trauma pulled him closer for a swift kiss and drew away again a moment later. Yeah, if that lingered long enough he would have kissed him back, almost instantly. But it hadn't and he felt his brain break a bit at that, unsure what to say or do.]

[He blinked over at the other, just watching him a moment longer. He then blinked again, slowly and sat back a moment]

Ah... well.... yes there is that. [he said, staring out the front windshield now, a very slow growing kind of stupid smile coming to his face. There was something about that that actually made him feel warm now instead of stone cold dread.]

So... if I decide to kiss you again you're not going to freak out and shut down on me, are you? Cause... that is a possibility right now. Just, you know, fair warning. Either that or you need to fix the fucking mixed signals.
