If I Rebooted Tin Man

Chapter 12: LS: Dancing

Glitch is sad because it's going to be longer than he thought it would be until the other half of his brain can be put back in. Feeling bad for him, Cain reluctantly brings up the Zipperhead's claim to be able to dance well.

An excited Glitch immediately gets distracted showing his friends how to dance — fluffy, goofy times ensue as the whole gang spends the day dancing carefreely.

Glitch proves he's not quite as oblivious as he appears near the very end, quietly telling Cain 'thanks' with a small, genuine smile. And then he walks off without making a big thing of it, which Cain appreciates.

(He makes a very big deal of it at a later moment, of course, because messing with Cain is his absolute favorite activity in the world and the actual emotional beat has already passed so why wouldn't he? But still, it's the thought that counts)

(Cain tries to remember that while considering whether upending a cup of orange juice on Glitch's head would be too childish)

(He does it anyways — they're long past 'childish' in this friendship)
