Bein' Honest - Transformers G1, Inferno x Red Alert

[thecrazyalaskan]

"You think I'm crazy don't you?"

Inferno looked up from his energon and over at the mech sitting across from him. "Hmm? Whassat, Red?"

Red Alert looked down at his own energon, which he didn't appear to have touched. "Do you think I'm crazy?" he repeated.

Ahh that. It made sense—given his behavior earlier in the day, to anyone who didn't know about the missile, he was acting crazy. Inferno was not one such person. "No."

Red Alert looked at him almost warily. "You think I'm paranoid."

Inferno smiled slightly and shook his head. "Naw."

"Psychotic?" Red Alert pressed.

"Nope."

"A danger to myself and others?"

Inferno couldn't help but scoff—the Autobots were in a sad state if their Chief of Security was a danger. "Hardly.

"Damnit, Inferno, be honest with me!" Red Alert snapped.

"Aw, c'mon, Red," Inferno soothed, laying a hand on the other mech's. "I am bein' honest."

I love Red Alert. Go ahead, tell me that he’s out of character because I didn’t write him a wibbling, paranoid train wreck. I dare you. c:

I swear to you, some day I will write legit Hot Rod x Arcee. I love that pairing so much, but I can’t breed them proper bunnies…!
