Skyblast looks up at Slingshot and grins, replying airily, "Does he talk? What, you can't hear him? For shame."
He's being a right jerk about things, and while these may be sensible Decepticons, they're still Decepticons. It's as much of an excuse as he needs.
He tries to put an arm around Slingshot's waist, as not that he can reach all that much higher without stretching, really.

"Hmmm really? I'd rather think that it would be quite handy," murmurs Sky-Byte as he lets his mind wander for a few bare seconds about such a prospect. It'd mean that he wouldn't have to perform his own theme music - that would be handy - but where's the joy in no performance? A decisions, decisions.
The sharp feeling of glares brings Sky-Byte back to the present and he nearly straightens himself up to peer back when Long Range arrives with two energon cubes in hand. Well, it looks like at least one Decepticon soldier is enjoying himself. "Enjoying myself, why of course! This is a victory celebration. What's not to enjoy?" chuckles Sky-Byte as if it's the most obvious thing in the world. He has no idea that one of those energon cubes is meant for him. Such thoughtfulness from the underlings is something he's still not quite accustomed to.
Skyblast's answer to his previous query gets a frown, but not before Sky-Byte's expression flashes in very plain confusion for a split second. Can't hear him? Hmph. Blasted finicky Autobots, always the same no matter the reality.

"Oh, it has its uses," Gizmo confesses. "Not the most pleasant of sensations when you have the bass turned up too loud, but when you want to make a dramatic entrance..." And he activates his internal stereo to play the thunderous strains of "The Imperial March." Ah, John Williams, you never let a mech down...
When Slingshot moves closer, Gizmo moves another step away, though he still tries to remain within audial-shot of the others. And when Long Range arrives, he just gives the Decepticon a polite wave and what he hopes is a friendly smile. Play nice with the Decepticons for now...

Slingshot slowly turns his head to look at Long Range. His glare fades to a mere intent stare, and then he slowly turns back his attention back to Skyblast.
What Gizmo may recognize that the Decepticons haven't a chance of realizing is that Slingshot doesn't flinch, jerk, or pull a gun on Skyblast for touching his jet. Instead, the Harrier half-turns so he's standing with his front at an angle towards the smaller jet and wraps an arm around his shoulders.

Autobot jetformers annoyed Long Range. They tended to be nimble and fast, added to the fact that they could fly meant he was generally on the wrong side of useless when dealing with them.
But he could worry about that later, now was the time to be happy and not think about raining hellfire down on their heads.
He offers Sky-Byte one of the energon cubes in his hand, he can either accept it or accept it.

Skyblast is so nimble and fast. Maybe this is why Slingshot lets him touch him! Skyblast murmurs to Slingshot, "Y'know, I am so lucky."
He has Slingshot, Skyfire doesn't own either of them, and Rodimus Prime encourages setting things on fire. Finally, they're at a party. Life is good!
Skyblast snaps his fingers and asks of Sky-Byte, "Got anything else?"

Seeing that he has only one option, Sky-Byte swigs back the small cube in his hand before tossing it aside to accept Long Range's proffered one. The suddenly downed liquid activates a pleasant thrum through his energized systems and Long Range gets a thourougly pleased grin. "Thank you." The words are said with a jovial laugh as he swirls the contents of the cube. How thoughtful of Long Range.
A few curious blinks at the music streaming from the carbot's speakers and Sky-Byte once more clears his throat. A haiku slightly timed to 'The Imperial March' coming right up!
"Nothing so hearty, As a victory party, Cheers and health to all!"
Down goes half of that new cube just as the march shifts into its softer section.

Gizmo smiles and applauds at the next haiku. "Pretty good!" he tells the shark. "Nice, very nice." He doesn't think haikus are usually required to rhyme, but it would be rather rude and uncool to point that out.

Not required doesn't mean forbidden, either.
Slingshot smiles down at Skyblast, then shifts to nuzzle at the grey jet's nosecone.

Needlenose pulls Spinister away from the mean, bad, bad old mean Prime.
(Although he's rather enjoying the more agressive groping he's receiving just now...)
He pulls Spinister away from the Prime, and now stumbles in the direction of the poetry he's been hearing. In fact, as he approaches, he calls out, "Did I hear poetry of some sort over here?" Then he looks around at those gathered. "Oh, and good evening, Skybite. Oh, and Slingshot and... Skyblast, right?" The only flying nekkid 'Bot, Needlenose does know his name, but sometimes it's nice to be thought more absent minded than one is.

Spinister again retreats into a more passive role, merely providing Needlenose support and accepting his touch, not going out of his way to touch the flashy jet.
He has always meant to ask Needlenose about sky-painting, what it is. However, Spinister does not ask now. This Skyblast may have a different skillset, and Spinister doesn't want to give away anything for free.
Spinister simply nods a chill greeting to those gathered.

Stretches his legs, standing on tippy-toes - and yes, he does indeed hand toes, due to his odd, skeletal design - to allow Slingshot better access to him.
Unknowingly, he voices what the silent one was thinking, "No one ever said it's not allowed to rhyme."

Sky-Byte grins and gives a few sweeping bows. It's on his last bow that he catches sight of Needlenose and Spinister joining the session.
They don't seem like they're about to drag someone away. Well, Sky-Byte amends, except Needlenose, but he has his hands already full (hopefully).
"Ah, greetings and thank you."
There's a slight blink as he glances from one flier pair to another. Unknowingly, Sky-Byte makes a startled face at the amount of contact going on. Two more glances are thrown out at Long Range and Gizmo. No touching going on there. It must be a plane thing.
"Victorious poetry for a victory party. I deemed it suitable."

Gizmo eyes the new arrivals warily. Okay, getting crowded here. Would be rather rude to slip away without saying a proper goodbye, though, and besides, he'd like to hear more haiku.
As for the plane-petting going on, he just ignores it. Not really his thing, but unless they start making out he figures it's rude to start accusing them of TMI.
"Evening," he says to Spinister and Needlenose, flashing what he hopes is an easy, charming grin.

Slingshot is in his happy place. His ecstatically joyful place is much, much higher than this.
The jet is happy, though, because his lovely little artist is in a good mood, and he is in a good mood, and they are snuggling in full view of everyone without some horrible interruption from the sludge-guzzling, roller-in-filth who dared to ape the status of Prime.
He is in such a good mood, in fact, that he looks up at Sky-Byte and speaks. "More."
