Disclaimer: I do not own Transformers. I do not make profit from this.

Bumblebee woke up suddenly, his room was rather bright, it must have been morning. Bee looked around, his vision was a little foggy, Blinking, he shook his helm, sitting up in his berth. He stretched his limbs. Then he groaned, feeling a random sting of pain. Gripping his head in his servos, he suddenly had a bad processor ache, he hadn't had one is ages and he was feeling a little strange, like he was slowly overheating.

Bumblebee sighed in pain, he fell back on to his berth closing his optics, " great.. just what i need.. a virus..." he said. Frustrated he tried to fall back into recharge, hoping the feeling would go away.

Later, he woke up again. He didn't feel any different then before, in fact he felt even more strange. He felt his spark pounding in his chest, his optics widened and he gripped his face in fear, " what the slag! What is wrong with me?" he fretted, sitting up. He had never felt this way before ,and he started to think maybe this wasn't just a virus. Bumblebee sighed, maybe some fresh air would help, who knows? " ,He thought.

Walking out of his room, Bee traveled down the hall. Dazed with warmth, he didn't even know he passed by Bulkhead's room. Bulkhead was just in his quarters, working on another painting of his.

His sensors went funny just when he saw Bumblebee walk by, he shook his helm " oh..hey Little buddy! Your finally awake!" he said, in his cheerful voice.

Bee snapped out of his thoughts, walking back to Bulkheads room, he lingered in the door way. Bee scratched his helm, " oh hey Bulkhead.. did i sleep in?" , he said. Bulkhead looked at him with concern, " yup...boy, Bumblebee.. you don't sound too good.. you okay?" Bulkhead asked, putting down his paint brush.

Bumblebee shrugged, " yeah... just tired " he said, but bulkhead looked at him with confusion. Bumblebee sighed, "I dunno, i think i have come down with a virus.. i feel so.. strange.." he said.

Bulkhead blinked," then maybe you should go see Ratchet then?" Bulkhead suggested.

Bumblebee sighed, " yeah... i guess so.." he said, " well i will see you later then..." Bumblebee said, walking away.

Bulkhead chuckled, " okay but.. hey where are you going..?" he said.

Bumblebee didn't realized he walked the wrong way, he was at the end of the hall, " oh.." he blushed with embarrassment, " whoops.." he said, walking the other way past Bulkhead's room.

Bulkhead waved goodbye, he shook his helm. Then suddenly his sensors went static again," uh.. what the.." , he grumbled, his optics widened and he just realized what caused it, " uh oh... poor Bumblebee.." he said, he was embarrassed for Bumblebee. His face plates heated as he was getting back to his painting.

Bumblebee continued down the hall sluggishly, he squinted his optics, trying to focus. Its like he was burning inside, it felt so weird but also quite.. good. He walked past Prowl's and Optimus's room. Optimus's room was closed, but Prowl's was open and he was sitting on the floor meditating. Prowl onlined his visor, he saw Bumblebee walking by. Prowl raised his optics ridge, wondering what was up with him.

Bee glanced into Prowls room, " oh hey Prowl.." , he said, walking by.

Prowl blinked, what is his problem? He never says hello to me... he thought , grumpy from being disturbed of his afternoon relaxation. Then his sensors caught something, his optics widened as he felt his chassis heat up all of a got up, " huh?" he thought, growling slightly. What was with the sudden heat ? He rubbed the back of his helm, walking over to the tree that was in the middle of the room. He jumped up the tree, hanging upside down on a branch. He tried to focus back on his meditation, but he found it hard too.

Bumblebee walked into the living room, he heard someone come through the door. Bee blinked when he saw Optimus walk in.

Optimus walked up to Bumblebee, " Bumblebee..you missed the patrol this morning.. everything okay?" he asked.

Bee blushed slightly, " hey bossbot.. uh yeah sorry about that, i slept in.. i think i have a virus or something.." he said, scratching his helm.

Optimus looked concerned, Bumblebee was not his self, " oh.. that's alright then don't worry about it.. just take it easy..and maybe seeing Ratchet would do you good.." he said.

Bee nodded, " yeah.. i guess that's a good idea... thanks.." he nodded, " not a problem.." he said, walking towards his room. He shook his head when his sensors started to go funny.

Bee laid down on the couch, turning on his game system he decided a little video games might take his mind off stuff. Prowl thought to himself, he had overheard Bumblebee and Optimus's chat, " seems more than a virus..", Prowl thought, suspiciously, " what was up with Bumblebee..?", he sighed.

Bumblebee played some video games for a bit, but he kept losing because he was too distracted. His chassis was heating again, and he felt an excited feeling. Bee sighed, turning off the game,"skrew this.." he said. I should go talk to Ratchet, he thought. Sighing, getting off the couch to go to the medbay.

Bumblebee walked to the door way of Ratchet's medbay, " hey.. Ratchet?" he called.

Ratchet sighed, looking up from his desk, "what is it..?" he asked.

Bee scratched his helm, " uh.. i think i may have come down with a virus... since i woke up today I've been feeling very..odd.." he said.

Ratchet raised his optics ridge, " how so..?" he asked.

Bee sighed, " well..i had a processor ache earlier and i keep over heating.. and i just feel.. tingly..." he said, blushing.

Ratchet examined him for a moment and then nodded, " right.. well it sounds like your just going through a minor heat cycle..no biggy.." he said.

Bee's optics widened, " a what..?" he asked.

Ratchet rolled his eyes, " a heat cycle..its part of the cybertronian life cycle. Every mech and femme will go in heat several times through there life. Its when your more sensitive to touch, and you give off fumes that will attract other bots. It also makes it easier for you to get a bondmate.. and..also if you do experience interfacing during a heat cycle it will be more..pleasurable... I've found..." Ratchet smirked.

Bee blinked, " TMI Ratchet... what if i don't want a bondmate... yet.. and... oh primus.." , he said, shaking.

Ratchet chuckled, " don't worry about it kid, you don't have to get a bondmate now.." he said.

Bee sighed with relief, " so how long does this last..and what am i supposed to do about it?" he asked nervously.

Ratchet sighed, " well..it usually lasts about an earth week.. sometimes shorter, but it can go on and off, and what you can do about it...? Well self service always helps.. or you could just go and interface with someone", Ratchet said.

Bee frowned, " self ser-? ...that's just great..." he said blushing hard.

Ratchet smirked, " its obviously your first time... So..what are your symptoms now..?" he asked.

Bee shrugged, " well..just.. overheated.. and kinda dazed out... i can't focus.." he replied.

Ratchet nodded, " your symptoms are minor now," he said.

Bee blinked, " it will get worse.?" Bee asked.

Ratchet nodded, " yeup... you'll get so overheated that uh.. well you'll know what i mean soon enough.." he said.

Bee sighed, " great..", he said.

Ratchet chuckled, " oh and uh.. be careful cause the other bots will get a little... haywire.. because of it" he said, smirking.

Bee blushed, " oh great.. thanks a lot Ratchet.." Bee said sarcastically.

Ratchet laughed, " don't mention it... ill let you figure it out.." he said, " and hey! Maybe this is your moment to tell Prowl about how you feel about him? " Ratchet shrugged.

Bee's optics widened, " w what? No Ratchet! Wait, how did you..?" , Bee said, blushing hard.

Ratchet rolled his optics, sighing, " I'm old.. but its not hard to tell when younger bots are attracted to each other.. ", he said, smirking.

Bee blinked, " bots? what? No.. he doesn't even like me.." , Bumblebee sighed.

Ratchet shook his head, " just.. talk to him.. Its not that he doesn't like you... its because you pester him all the time..." Ratchet said.

Bee waved his hands, " what? There's no way I'm talking to him when I'm like this!" Bee said, getting flustered.

Ratchet laughed, " It would be easier to... hehe, never mind, I'll let you figure it out.." he said, getting back to fixing his tool.

Bee sighed, blushing as he walked away.

Bee looked both ways down the hall and then walked quickly to his quarters, not wanting to run into anyone. It was late, so Bumblebee decided to recharge earlier, but he usually tossed and turned, he was so uncomfortably hot it was hard to relax, he groaned, " why me..?", he thought. Eventually he sunk into deep recharge.

Bee walked down the dark hall. He felt so hot he wanted release so bad. Then he felt someone grab him gently from behind, wrapping his arms around him tightly.

Bee gasped,feeling the smooth hard chest plate against his back," ah , h..hey!" , he whined, blushing at the feeling of his hot chassis against the other, so close. Bee's optics widened, " P Prowl?" he said, blushing hard.

He felt him purr against his neck, " let me help you.." he heard Prowl say in a seductive voice, Bumblebee's spark pounded.
