Ironelle walked back to her private quarters. She felt someone following her and she turned around to meet Ratchet's optics.
"I thought I told you to leave me alone."
"You did. But I'm not going to listen to you."
"I have the ax remember?"
"I have a wrench." She growled.
"Would you just listen for a second?!"
"You have a minute. Talk before I use my ax on your aft." Ratchet pushed her against the wall and pressed his lips to hers. She struggled for a minute before pressing back and letting tears run down her face. Ratchet pressed their frames together. Ironelle wrapped her leg around Ratchet's. Their cooling fans kicked on and Ironelle pulled away.
"R-Ratchet?" she gasped.
"Yes?"
"I'm sorry."
"Apology accepted." Ratchet pressed their lips together again. She moaned.
"R-Ratchet! W-We need to stop!" He pulled away and looked at her with love filled Autobot blue optics.
"You're right." Ironelle opened her quarters door.
"We can continue if you'd like." She pulled him in and locked the door. He pressed her against the wall again. She wrapped her legs around his waist. He held her and pulled away. They had oil on their lips and Ironelle wiped it away.
"I'll change if it means we can keep this up," said Ratchet. Ironelle was silent and he pleaded her with his optics. Her engines purred.
"Don't change. Just tell me that you love me."
"I love you."
"I love you too." Ironelle kissed him again and he pressed Ironelle to her berth. She moaned again.
"R-Ratchet!" He bit a sensitive wire on her neck. She pressed wires under his armor and he gasped.
The Next Morning...
Bulkhead looked around. Ellie was nowhere to be seen and neither was Ratchet.
"Hey Bumlebee have you seen Ratchet this morning?"
"No I haven't."
Bulkhead wandered to himself. Arcee walked in.
"Are you guys looking for Ratchet?"
"Yeah." Arcee sighed and facepalmed.
"I think I know where he is."
"Where?"
"Check Ironelle's quarters."
"Wh—"
"Just do it." Bulkhead walked down the hall to Ironelle's quarters and put in the override code. The door slid open and he smiled.
"That's where you guys are." Ironelle was lying right beside Ratchet and he held her close.
"I'm glad you two are together." He left and closed the door behind him.
Later...
"What the pit happened last night?" Ratchet kissed her helm.
"We interfaced."
"Oh yeah." She smiled and laid against Ratchet's chest.
"I'm sorry I was such an aft."
"You're fine. I don't blame you. I was mean to you."
"You hit me with your wrench a lot."
"I know. I'm sorry." Ratchet held her closer and kissed her again.
"I love you," he whispered.
"I love you too."
I had to get this plot bunny out of my head. This takes place between 'Shadow's Saga: Hurt' and 'New Recruit'
