Optimus Primal/Rhinox, fruit salad!

[raisedbymoogles]

Optimus complained he was getting tired of bananas. "And you know how much I like bananas," he told Rhinox sheepishly. "And I do appreciate you seeking them out for me. Just... maybe, the next time you go plant-cataloguing... perhaps not quite so many?"

Rhinox understood. Perhaps he'd been overzealous, in his way. Too little variety dulled the senses, after all. So the next time he went out for a wander, he left the bananas alone. (The local ape species were delighted.)

Which is not to say he returned to the Ark empty-handed. When Optimus returned from his patrol, he found Rhinox putting the finishing touches on a dizzying display of fruit: tempting mangos, tart pineapple, bright cherries and plums, fragrant oranges, and a funny, fuzzy fruit Rhinox insisted was called a kiwi. Their juice pooled in their platter, irresistibly sweet, and Optimus felt his gyroscopes briefly lose function.

"And not a banana in sight," Rhinox said with a smile, plucking up a piece of mango and holding it out for him. Optimus closed his mouth around it, and around Rhinox's fingertips, with an appreciative hum.
