Also, will be the first part of the fluffy Unicron Trilogy Autobot series, so make sure to favorite and follow this work so you don't miss the update! Remember to leave a review, it helps, and enjoy!

Summary: Hotshot happens upon Alexis' fort. Cuddles and Fluff ensues.
Pairings: Hinted Blurr/Sideswipe, Kinda hinted Jetfire/Hotshot
Warnings: My headcanons which includes Hotshot being a Halfling and him loving to cuddle. Also, his crush on Jetfire.

The first thing Hotshot had wanted to do when he got into the rec room was to get his last cube of energon for the day and relax on one of the large, transformersized couches that they had installed a few months prior. It had been a quiet day and he wasn't really needed to help with anything around the base, so why not refuel and relax? His pedsteps echoed through the halls, closer to where the rec room was situated. When he got to the entrance and was about to step inside, he stopped and stared, resetting his optics twice to make sure he knew what he was seeing.

A large Fort was against the farthest wall and when he say large, he means that it was large enough to hold almost every single mech in the base inside. It was mostly made up by large covered that the Autobot used rarely and some of the movable chairs. It also seemed like the back of the fort was against the wall with something holding it up.

He stood there for a long moment before walking over, kneeling down at the entrance and moving the flap up to peek inside. It was dark thanks to the thickness of the blanket, but he could see just fine thanks to the glow of his optics and he could see pillows, both big and small, covering the floor. He looked at the middle of it all and, to his surprise, he could see Alexis sitting there on her PDA and looking at him rather sheepishly. Over beside her was Sureshock, who just waved at him before turning back to the PDA.

"When did you make this and why is it so big?" Hotshot questioned. The only emotion that was present in his voice was slight confusion.

"We got down not to long ago." Alexis answered. "I wasn't planning to make it this big but...well..."

She looked over to the corner, underneath one of the chairs that were acting like a support beams. He followed her gaze and he could see a pile of Minicons recharging there, Jolt among them.

"I was wondering where he went." Hotshot chuckled before looking back at Alexis. "Permission to enter, ma'am?"

He watched as she rolled her eyes. "Get in here, already."

He grinned and went inside and laid down beside his human friend, on the right side of her. He propped his head up with his hand, dimmed his optics so that the brightness wouldn't blind her and simply watched as she worked.

He continued to watch for some time, probably two or three hours and now, Hotshot was laying on his front, his head laying on his arms and his optics had dimmed until they were finally dark, his recharge overtaking him. Alexis had shifted herself to lean against Hotshot's arm with Sureshock beside her, who had also went into recharge. The human managed to keep away for a few minutes after the two went to sleep but she too, fell alseep, her PDA's screen turning back after a few minutes on inactivity. This was when the other Autobots and humans decided to come and find them.

"Isn't that just precious." Jetfire couldn't help but tease the sleeping occupants once he peeked inside the fort, the others walking up behind them. "Well, if you don't wanna wake 'em, join 'em."

The flier made his way inside, ignoring the protests of Redalert before laying down beside Hotshot on his side, facing the younger mech. Once he was comfortable enough, he wrapped an arm around Hotshot's lower back before shifting himself closer to the other until Hotshot right up against his chest. His optics dimmed until they were fully offline and soon, he went into recharge.

Soon, the others decided to join the sleeping foursome and found their own places.

Redalert laid laid down on the other side of Hotshot, on his back with Carlos curled up on his chest with an hand over him.

Hoist was on his side beside Redalert, facing away from the others and snoring away with Billy and Fred huddled against him.

Scavenger was also snoring away with his torso in the fort and his legs out side of it, his hands behind his head.

Blurr and Sideswipe was laying on the other side of Jetfire, the older on his back while the younger had his head laying on Blurr's chest, snuggling into his chestplates.

Optimus leaned against the wall at the back of the fort with a dozing Rad on his shoulder. His golden optics took in the sleeping mechs and humans. He watched over his team- his family- with soft optics before allowing them to power down and letting himself fall into recharge himself.
