Do I not have a right to be upset that I was deceived? That you and Megatron thought that it was important to keep your secret from me? Was the plan to continue your burgeoning relationship if I hadn’t arrived?
You don't have the right to dig up my murdered brothers because of something that transpired in a moment of grief
you know I actually advocated for you? Megatron is content to go home a rot and I must have brought you up half a dozen times to get him to put his head back on straight and gain some perspective but you see where that got us
There was no 'relationship'
Just like there wasn't one between the two of you because you were both so goddamn busy pretending to be 'very good co-workers'
There needs to be a relationship for me to sabotage you rules-lawering bastard
There was mutual respect and trust between us! We shared enough with each other that I believed he could share everything important with me! But apparently, if you kept Megatron happy all this time, perhaps it’s better that he goes back to you instead!
If it were only one time, I would accept that it was all purely caused by a moment grief, but this happened over months. I know you to be a mech that treats bonds with others seriously.
If Megatron preferred you over me, I have to accept that.
I told you that for full disclosure, so you wouldn't have heard it through rumor and conjecture because of that supposed mutual respect and trust!
Only you would try to tally this and ascribe some asinine ranking system that only makes sense to you. Those months left us both miserable and confused. We both saw this as the end of the line, a kinder death than burning out back home.
Although it's nice to hear apparently I'm always going to somehow still be Deadlock to you: Megatron's favorite killer, the guttermech slut. Absolutely figures. Even diminished, you still need to punch down when you don't feel like you're in control.
He didn't prefer me — he was trying to forget he couldn't have you. He was failing spectacularly, by the way.
[There are few moments in his life where Minimus wants to handle his frustration with violence. This is such one, where he wants to hurl the communicator out of the window and hopefully smack Drift in the face where it will shut him up.
But that’s stupid. Emotions are for fools, and Minimus was an idiot for ever even thinking he was ready for intimacy. So he pulls out another library book and types a slow message, taking this time picking at the keypad while avoiding reading Drift’s last message.]
If what you said is true, then I want to hear it from Megatron himself.
I’m sure you have better things to do than to talk to me.
[He’s not going to admit he’s lost this fight. Maybe he’s wrong and Drift absolutely has no sway over Megatron. Maybe he’s right and Drift doesn’t realize the power he has. Either way, he knows that there is no respect directed at Minimus, but what else is new?]
[ Drift is spitting mad and knows it's time to quit the field before he does something less civil than a screaming match over text messaging happens. ]
Comm him then.
I have more to do than try and fix your love life when I'm here because I just put my soulmate in the ground.

Interesting choice of capitalization there that I'd pretend was a grammatical error if it wasn't coming from you.
