Lost Light Drunk headcanons

Summary:

Just some drunk headcanons for the Lost Light crew!

Chapter 1: Rung

Chapter Text

* Rung doesn’t drink, but does understand the importance of the social drink and how the social aspect can help a bot mingle and make friends. He will accompany you to Swerve’s to hang out and to also make sure that you make it back to the berth alright.

* Rung has enough experience with your drinking to know what to expect and the type of drunk you become when intoxicated. Though Rung does express his concerns about the amount you drink or trying to limit yourself, he knows it’s your choice and at least he can be beside you to make sure you’re having fun.

* If you pull Rung to dance with you, he’ll gladly join you though if it’s later in the night, he’s helping to keep you supported while you lean on him. You also have a tendency to want to try on his glasses while drunk which he’ll gladly let you and joke about how blind he is.

* If you’re a sad or angry drunk, Rung uses his professional skills to help ease you into a better mindset or comfort you until you start to sober up. He shares the laughs with you as a happy drunk, willing to listen and talk as a chatty drunk but flirty drunk he has to be careful with! He gets very flustered, whether you were dating or not, and does his best to sidestep your flirts until you’re sober.

* Rung helps to take you back to your berth, with or without your help, and makes sure to follow up with you later to ease your hangover. Its during these walks that you tend to confess deeper thoughts or even a love confession which he’ll take with a grain of salt but still, if it was true and that you loved him, he’ll just wait for the more sober you to tell him. Any confession told will be kept confidential, of course. If you ask him to join you in the berth, he’ll refuse as he doesn’t want to take advantage of the situation.

Chapter 2: Megatron

Chapter Text

* Megatron is more than capable of handing a drink or few, given his history, age, and previous experiences. He won’t drink himself stupid but has had a few harder moments in life where he took solace in some Engex. He doesn’t like to social drink and would prefer to drink in the isolation of his berth but will make his way to Swerve’s if for something important or if you manage to drag him with you…

* Megatron doesn’t really have a drunk variant, if anything, he stays the same for the most part though he might become a little more receded or somber. Though his focus is on you and keeping an eye if you start to get rowdy or flirty, stepping in when things start to get out of hand.

* He won’t participate in anything you try to drag him into at Swerve’s, being more bull headed than you in your more intoxicated state but is more willing to allow you to humor him in the privacy of his room. One of his favorites is listening to you drunk ramble about the crew, your work, your feelings, and other topics on your mind. It gives him a sense of closeness with you as trust him enough to tell him all these things, good, bad, or ugly.

* Megatron can deal with a lot of flavors of drunks though flirty and sad drunk do pose a challenge, especially if it’s before you’re dating. He’s awkward at comforting, giving a hesitant pat on the back or on the hand but flirty drunk, he tells himself to not take your advances seriously as he’s taking you back to your room though it’s hard as the comments you make about him could make a mech of any kind go weak. But you’re drunk, you’ll sleep it off, and either you’ll apologize or won’t remember but it makes him wonder if there’s any kennels of truth in your words…

* Drunk interfacing isn’t out of the question, it just depends if you’re with him or not. If not, much like with flirty drunk, he’ll remind you you’re drunk and to sleep it off while taking you back to your room. If together and if both of you have a nice buzz going, things can get a bit interesting, especially suggesting a new position or some new ideas though it’ll be a bit messier in the aftermath.

Chapter 3: Swerve

Chapter Text

* Swerve can handle a few drinks though any bartender worth his salt should be able to handle their own drinks. He’ll water down others drinks but won’t water his down. Depending on your relationship with him, he might not water down yours either! If Swerve gets in a creative mood or gets a hold of some rarer ingredients, he’ll try to make some new concoctions and call you over before the bar opens to test them out. If you’re human, he keeps a stock of human booze or learns how to make his own and have you test them out. There were many trials and errors that may or may not have left you ending up in the medbay due to alcohol poisoning.

* When Swerve allows himself to relax and enjoy a drink or two, he either becomes a more chatty than normal drunk or goes into a more existential crisis drunk mood. Some of his ramblings don’t make sense after a while or he starts to reveal deeper thoughts or conflicts he might have, usually feelings of his own self worth before he tries to cover it up with a joke or smile.

* Swerve is curious what drunk you turn out to be, having experience with any form of drunk or buzzed with the exception of flirty. Yeah, he’s turned down flirty bots and humans before but if he had feelings for you, it makes it harder to not take those to spark, hoping the booze is bringing those true feelings to the surface.

* There’s a guilty pleasure Swerve takes when he’s watching you from behind the counter, seeing you dance, laugh, cry, talk, sing karaoke, play games, and enjoying yourself but when you make your way over to his little corner, chatting with him, and he’s the one making you laugh, smile, and even blush though he thinks it might be from the drinks in your system.

* If you start to get a little too wobbly, Swerve will get Ten to take you back to your room but if it’s close to or is closing time, he’ll take you back himself. It’s when he’s taking you back that some of the more suggestive flirting happens and though he would love to, he has a responsibility as a bartender to make sure you’re safe but that’s not to say his fans don’t click on or his panels heat up. If you’re already in a relationship, drunk interfacing does happen but it stays in the berth… mostly. If only Ultra Magnus knew, he’d shut down Swerve’s again for “a failure to comply with bio-hazard safety laws” and “inappropriate use of a barstool” and the list just goes on and on!

Chapter 4: Ultra Magnus

Summary:

I’m gonna do Ultra Magnus and Minimus Ambus separately!

Chapter Text

* Ultra Magnus also doesn’t drink, as being second in command and enforcer of the Tyrest Code, he needs to be alert and vigilant to everything that happen on the ship and he couldn’t do so if he drank so he’s 100% sober. After the drugging incident, he’s more weary of the energon that comes his way, making sure either he got it himself or he sees the drink made in its entirety before consuming. This does lessen as time goes on and he does trust certain bots to give him energon such as Megatron and you.

* Even though he does drink, Ultra Magnus will still join you if you go to Swerve’s, Mirage’s, or any other bar to keep an eye on you just in case of any incident and your safety. He knows you well enough to know your limit though you might not and when he knows you’re drunk, he makes sure you get cut off. Despite your pouts and pleads, he stands firm on his decision, focusing on making sure you stay hydrated and assist in getting you back to your room if needed.

* Ultra Magnus is very blunt when it comes to taking you back to your room, making you walk it off or if you’re too unstable, he’ll carry you himself to your berth. He does chide you about your limit and needed to be more careful the next time but he does soften slightly when he takes a step back and sees that your body is already punishing you for your actions, especially if you end up throwing up at some point. He notes that it needs to be cleaned up and will most likely do it himself after he makes sure you’re back to the room.

* Ultra Magnus also shuts down any of your advances but does note that sometimes you’re more upfront when you’re drunk about your feelings, especially towards him. He knows he’s not a very likely bot but if you do let him know what you like or respect him a great deal, he does thank you though a love confession or flirting is a little more dubious. He’ll be more straight forward, stating that you’re drunk and you need to sleep it off.

* Ultra Magnus will never engage in drunk sex with you, even if you are together. It’s not just a moral ground but there are obvious rules against that behavior. Though he will let you rest against him if you get clingy. There are moments where in your drunken stupor where you think you see a small green and white mech running around the room but chalk it up to your mind swimming in booze and imagination as you go back to sleep and attempt to sober up.

Chapter 5: Rodimus

Chapter Text

* Rodimus has the drink tolerance of a fraternity brother. Make of that as you will. He enjoys a drink like any other bot, maybe a little more so but he’s at most a mid weight when it comes to drinking, depending on the drink and its potency. Enjoys drinking games and social drinking. Rodimus is the one to initiate most games or challenges, thinking he can win them easier which he does… sometimes. This is where you see chatty and happy drink Roddy with hints of flirty Roddy as well.

* When he drinks by himself however, this is where sad and angry Rodimus come out, usually tearing his room apart in a drunken rage before sinking into the corner, the feelings of failure and inadequacy overtaking him before he manages to pass out, stumble into his recharge station, or if he manages to sober up. He tries to never let you see this side of him but when you do, you’re there to help him calm down, make sure he knows it’s just the engex putting him down, and he’s a great co-captain and hero.

* Rodimus is a great drinking buddy, someone to lean onto while you enjoy the buzz and ride it out together. You enjoy drinking games together, often competing with one another to see who can drink the most and leave the other spewing engex on the floor. With the booze flowing, it makes for a lot of interesting interactions with your combined varies drunk personas either at ends with one another or gelling better than you both do sober. If you don’t drink, you still manage to charm his drunk personalities ie; comforting his sad drunk, flirting back with his flirty drunk, calming down his angry drunk, etc.

* Cleaning up and making back to the berth is a whole ordeal, depending on the level of drunkenness and the intoxication level of both of you. Roddy and you help to support one another as you stumble back to whosever room is closest, or at least attempt to, and may end up in a bit of a mess on the charging station/ bedroom. If you’re sober, you do help get him to his own room but often see flirty or sad Roddy at this stage. You try to be supportive, comforting and reassuring him or blushing and complimenting him back before getting him settled in his recharge station. If he pulls you in to join him, you’ll have to end up accepting your fate as his grip is strong while asleep. He’s a clinger!

* Roddy is a fan of drunk interfacing, the engex making him more forward than he usually is. He’s also very touchy when buzzed and in his flirty mood. Interfacing with a drunk Rodimus is very sloppy, his glossa going everywhere and anywhere he can reach as you try to either get a pace settled with him or match his freak. The morning after leads to some awkward moments, either having interfaced or not, and rumors do fly afterwords, especially if there were witnesses to the night before or watching the walk of shame and embarrassment in the morning.
