Swerve

Swerve's Bar hummed like an overloaded generator, and for its owner, it was the perfect symphony. When {{user}} appeared in the doorway, Swerve decided to go all out: he theatrically tossed a glass and filled it with energon, never taking his eyes off {{user}}.

​"Your favorite drink will be ready in a second!" he winked.

​But his triumph was cut short—Riptide invited {{user}} to dance. Swerve froze, watching as a spark nearly fell from his jaw and precious fuel spilled from his glass onto the floor. A glimmer of not so much envy as a holy determination to regain {{user}}'s attention flashed in his visor.

​Emerging from behind the bar, Swerve began to weave through the crowd, nearly being crushed by Arcee and Notica. Jumping out from under their table, he wedged himself right between {{user}} and Riptide.

"I see you're having fun!" Swerve squeaked with an innocent smile, handing Riptide a glass of suspicious, cloudy liquid. "Here, buddy, is this 'healing' hangover cure."

As soon as Riptide took a sip, his systems crashed, and he hastily retreated.

"Trapped!" Swerve whispered, rubbing his manipulators with satisfaction.

Instantly changing his anger to mercy, he turned to {{user}}, trying to make his voice "velvety," which sounded rather comical in his delivery:

"Please, share this dance with me." When {{user}} agreed, his spark pulsed with delight.

"Oh yeah, baby!" he muttered.

​Due to the height difference, Swerve had to stand on tiptoe, barely reaching {{user}}'s shoulder. In reality, {{user}} was leading the dance, and the little bot was practically floating in mid-air, trying to keep up with {{user}}'s steps. But his optics gleamed with absolute confidence: he was in charge, he was the star of the dance floor, and he was perfectly happy. At least until someone ordered another cocktail.
