[Alas, while he is low key possessive, he isn't Monika-level possessive. Not to mention, he's still in denial mode about what he feels about his dear best friend, and even if he entertains the thought, he thinks she probably has better options than him anyway.]
.... Me?
[She... already has a poem written about him? Soundwave blinks rapidly. That is surprising. Sweet, but surprising. Even when her inspiration apparently came from him being a jerk apparently, it doesn't damper the sweetness of such an act. It brings warmth to his already overheating chest. Could she actually have been thinking about him that much while he was gone? To think about him enough to even write a poem about him. Could she be in love---- No, he's overthinking things, and maybe this is simply a gift from a friend. Ah, what is this feeling in his chest. It's so hot....
His already red cheeks brightens, and as his typical when he doesn't know how to confront the feelings fluttering inside him, he resorts to a tsundere respond.]
Not my fault you look pickup-able, idiot.
[He gets to call her idiot again because she called him a jerk! Okay, some deep breathes, Monika is about to read her poem... Inhale and exhale, he calms himself down enough to start listening to her and....
and....
It's so sweet. As she reads it in her sweet, melodic tone, he's picturing himself together with Monika, her sitting inside him while he gives her a fast ride on an empty road. Even though his vehicle mode isn't capable of flight, he's imagining himself soaring through the blue sky and white clouds to grant Monika a sight no others could give. He might actually be swooned by her poem. Ah, why is he imagining things like that?! It makes the fluttering in his chest worse. Aaah, he shouldn't be feeling that way! Surely he must not have a crush on her--]
No, I won't. [That response comes rather quick.] I mean... I would give you a ride if you asked.
[Really, he would. Though he's not sure if there's any good road he could give her a ride on here, aside from the parking lot but that's a dour sight. Ultimately, regardless of how embarrassed he is knowing she made a poem about him, he could see how colorful and happier she is compared to the previous poem. Simply glancing down to her notebook, it tells as much. It's obvious how much fun she had writing this ... It would actually destroy him if there's even one doodle of him in there. She really must have fun being around him, huh. Primus, when Monika is being adorable, she's 200% more adorable.
Still, give him a moment to formulate a response to her poem. It's too sweet, he doesn't know what to say. Well, he knows but... it's difficult to get the words out without stumbling all over himself. So, after about half a minute, he turns his gaze to her and opens his mouth.]
I did not realize you wanted to be inside me that badly.
[Did... he make a dirty joke? But okay, his actual opinion.]
That was... Sweet. I've... never had anything as sweet given to me as what you've read to me. I... love it.
[Ugh, it's so hard to say the word when it's about this. But he managed it, and Monika should be proud of him for that! Honestly, sweetest thing anyone has ever done to him period. It's so sweet, he almost wishes that he could keep the poem with him...]
