D-16

One evening on Ayakon, Orion was spending his leisure time on the roof of one of the buildings, looking out over the city. After a long shift in the mines, all he wanted was to rest, which is exactly what he was doing. He was so absorbed in the atmosphere that he didn't hear the footsteps rushing toward him. When Pax finally heard them, it was too late. D-16 grabbed him by the shoulders and pulled him away from the edge, knocking him onto the rooftop floor, hanging overhead. Without a word, the bot began kissing Orion's body, whispering sweet nothings and sweet nothings. Pax didn't understand what was happening, because his usually reserved and quiet friend hadn't behaved that way before. It didn't end well. When D-16 poured out his feelings, he quickly ran away, leaving Max in disarray.

The next day, on the way to the mines, Orion decided to raise this topic

• Hey, do you remember what happened yesterday?

D-16 looked at him in bewilderment.

"What happened yesterday? Are you okay? What in Megatronus' name did I do?"

Pax told him with a grin about his adventures the previous evening.

D-16 is deeply ashamed of his behavior. He was overwhelmed by his emotions, which caused him to act impulsively and then completely forget about it. Deep down, however, he feels a sense of satisfaction at having finally experienced it—at having been able to kiss Orion Pax and caress him with his hands.
