[peacewithouttyranny]

[Ever since last month, Soundwave hasn't been feeling to great. And when most of the friend left this world, there's only one person he could go to confine with anything. Michelle.

Soundwave's avatar arrives at her front door and gives it a few knocks on the door.]

Michelle? Are you here?

[mabelle]

[Poor Soundwave. But Michelle can empathize; she just has her own ways of dealing with her friends going away. For a moment there's just silence when the door is knocked on, followed by 'SOUNDY!!' then a sudden crash.

Not long after that the door swings open; Michelle there with various articles of clothing strewn on her body- that aside she looks completely ecstatic to see her friend.]

Soundy! I'm here! Hello!

[peacewithouttyranny]

[The yelling and then the crash that follows has him make a confused face. But by the time the door's open, he's back to his inexpressive way, the slight rise of his eyebrows is all that betrays him when he sees the state he's friend is in.]

Hello...

[Inviting himself in, he'll close the door behind him before he starts to take off the clothes on her. The clothing she isn't wearing anyway.]

That excited to see me are you?

[mabelle]

[Of course Michelle is used to his expression, and is quite used to him letting himself in without being prompted. She's all smiles, and speaks with slightly flushed cheeks as leggings and socks are taken off her shoulders. She takes the moment to try to practically pounce into a hug.]

Of course I am!

[Just a quick glance would show various racks about the area as if one had walked into a fashion boutique. Michelle must be organizing her many, many clothes again. There are also shoeboxes scattered on the floor which must have fallen from the space above.]

What brings you by? Taskbo-mmmmmpppgh.

[She quickly cuts herself off by drawing her lips inward to keep from blurting out her several guesses.]

[peacewithouttyranny]

[He's ready for that pounce, having grown so used to it that he just allows Michelle to hug him whenever, wrapping his arms around her in response. Noticeably, he doesn't let go of his own arms around her just yet, even after Michelle lets go of hers.]

Nothing, exactly. I just wanted to see you. And spend the rest of the day with you. That's all.

[He shifts his head a bit to have a look around her house.]

I hope you aren't too busy today for that...

[mabelle]

[If this were a few years ago, the house may have exploded from the sheer joy Michelle would build up from Soundwaves words. Instead sparkles of light dance about her face as she gasps, hands raised to her cheeks while in his embrace.]

Really?!?

[It's probably only her that would not find 'spend the rest of the day with you' a little much.]

Oh no, not at all! This will be great! I've just been doing some reorganizing, then I'm going to tend to my pumpkin patch!

[Then maybe wrap it all up with a session of intense cuddling, but she'll keep that to herself for now.]

[peacewithouttyranny]

[Yes, really. He gives her a single nod to that. Intense cuddling was one thing he's hoping for, even if it's not said at all. Michelle is one of the very few people he'll allow to cuddle all day.]

Then, I should let you finished up your task first...

[A tiny hint of hesitance, but he let go of the embrace.]

[mabelle]

Sure! Though it'd go a little faster if you could help me out. All of these boxes are supposed to go in the upper loft. I was putting them in color order but knocked them over by accident.

[She points to the upper loft after she's released. And aww; she most certainly notices the hesitance. She decides she can water the pumpkins after he heads home.]

If you do that while I handle the dresses it'll be done pretty quickly, I think!

[peacewithouttyranny]

[Depend on how long he decides to stay or chose to stay for the night, she might want to water the pumpkins at some point. Regardless, he gives her a nod.]

I can do that...

[Some bit of labour work before a hug would be rewarding. Of course, there's no indication at all that he would want that to be a reward, so he'll go ahead and start right away, picking up the boxes towards the upper loft.]

[mabelle]

[Uh oh. Well, she'll cross that bridge when she gets there.]

Thank you so much!

[And with that, the duo get to work, with Michelle happily humming as she organizes her many clothing racks. There isn't really that much left so both chores shouldn't take much longer.]

Oh! I guess it's a little late to ask but, did you go to the Flower Festival this year?

[peacewithouttyranny]

[Soundwave is, unsurprisingly, quiet while he helps with the boxes, sorted them according to the colors Michelle labeled. He's down to a couple of boxes when she asks him about the flower festival]

I did, but I didn't do much at the festival. [When he has very few friends around, there's not much for him to do but people watch.] Did you go, Michelle?

[mabelle]

[Now that she doesn't have to rush back and forth this is a lot faster for her! She's a little surprised by how quickly things are getting done.]

I sure did! It's my favorite festival, I make sure I go every year. I was hoping to go through the maze with my Fashion Master, but that didn't quite work out. But other than that it was wonderful!

[A pause.]

Wait a minute, you didn't? Well that's no fun- Next year we should go together, especially through the Maze!

[peacewithouttyranny]

Fashion Master?

[His head tilts slightly as he picks up another box.]

I did go through the Maze, though. But... Sure, I do not mind going together next year...

[mabelle]

Mm-hm! I've been apprenticing under Junko to be an Ultimate Fashionista for.. Um.. Well, quite a while now. She's really amazing!

[Michelle raises her fists to her shoulders and squeals, quite pleased with her position. But not as pleased as Soundwave agreeing to the maze. She can only imagine what kind of compliments he'll have for her.

Really?! That's wonderful! I can hardly wait!

[peacewithouttyranny]

[Ah. Soundwave merely hums in response to both. Junko is an awkward subject, though they made up, he decides to just drop the subject there, and he doesn't have much more to say to that, other than looking forward to it the same. As much as he's changed, he's still not very talkative

In any case, he's done with the boxes.]

That was the last box, Michelle.

[mabelle]

[She doesn't think anything of the response, it's just Soundwave being Soundwave as far as she's concerned. Because of the good vibes she gets from being around him, she's able to work faster herself. When he returns, she's pushing the last rack off to the side.]

Ooooh! I'm done too; we are *very* in synch today! Like professional dancers!

[Um. Yes. Totally like professional dancers. Michelle raises her hand.]

High-five!

[peacewithouttyranny]

[He doesn't get at all how they were like professional dancers, but Michelle raising her hand up gets him staring at it. He knows what a high-five is, only staring at it so intensely because he wasn't expecting that.

Soon enough though, he steps closer and... lightly taps his palm on Michelle's. Not the most enthusiastic of high-fives, but he's done it regardless.]

[mabelle]

[Michelle does try to do some things differently now and then- She's can get stuck in her usual routines quite easily. So while she's pleased by his surprise, she can't help but be a little disappointed (though not at all surprised) by the lack of enthusiasm.]

… I'll take it.

[Said aloud to herself, though just moments after contact she raises her other hand to take his into both of them.]

So... Looks like we have plenty of time for the bedroom now. Shall we?

[peacewithouttyranny]

[Honestly, the fact that he even did that at all shows that he's willing to indulge a little for Michelle. He allows her to take both of his hands, griping on Michelle's in return. Time for the bedroom, huh...]

Mm, let's go... Though that offer sounds like you're leading me to do something very intimate and naughty with you, Michelle...

[It's a joke, he knows what she may have in mind. Though, his unchanging monotonous voice might make it harder to tell that he's joking.]

[mabelle]

[Good point! As for the response, Michelle gives a clueless smile in return.]

Eh?

[Intimate? … Wait, naughty?! Once she catches on, her face flushes a deep crimson.]

W- N- No! Goodness, no I didn't mean anything naughty, I would never! .. I mean, unless you did, then I wouldn't-

[Panic!]

Which I'm sure you didn't! I don't even know anything about that! Well, I mean, I suppose I kind of do but I don't have any experience so it wasn't what I meant!

I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!

[peacewithouttyranny]

[And immediately, he regretted making that joke. Her face turning a deep shade of red is amusing, but the flailing and panicking... well, slightly amusing but it got annoying fast.

He shuts her up by placing a finger on her lips.]

Calm down, Michelle. I was joking. I know we're just going to hug. [And that's just as far as their intimacy will go.]

[mabelle]

I-

[Silenced, she rather comically freezes up the moment his finger touched her lips. A pause, then a nervous chuckle passes her lips.]

Oh. I knew that.

[She really didn't. She tries to laugh it off with a sheepish shrug.]

A- Anyhow, let's just.. Forget that happened and go this way? Yep!

[She tries to take his arm and draw him over toward the bed area.]

There are all sorts of new positions I've seen in diagrams that I've been wanting to try!

[peacewithouttyranny]

[Yeah, he's not going to forget this happened. He won't ever bring it up, but he won't forget. With all that put aside though, they resume towards the bedroom allowing Michelle to lead him there.

His head cocks to the side when she brings up something new they could try. Sounds exciting.]

Tell me about these... new positions.

Work has been decimating me orz

[mabelle]

[Her expression lights up again.]

Sure! So there first is.. Um.. Well..

[There's a brief pause as she appears to be rattling her brain.]

Actually, I guess it'd be better to show you. Look at this!

[Fingers raise to her temples, as she attempt to project an image to him of the Leg Hug, then the Sweetheart Cradle.]

[peacewithouttyranny]

[Soundwave at first raises his eyebrows when the projected image forms in his head. Hugging with their legs like that? An odd way of hugging for sure but he could do that. The other position shown after though, that one gets his cheeks flushing pink. Such exciting positions though...]

Hm. We could try those.

[Soundwave's the first to climb on the bed, laying and making himself comfortable, and then pats the free spot next to him.]

Join me?
