Optimus walked through the Ground-bridge with Bumblebee. They'd just finished fighting, and later burying Skyquake. Optimus was quiet; he hated burying any Cybertronian (Autobot, Decepticon or Neutral). He was growing tired of this seemingly never-ending war. So many lives had unnecessarily been sacrificed. And yet the war was still no-where near finished. Ratchet ushered Bumblebee into the Med-Bay to analyse his injuries as Optimus stood at the sidelines watching. Ratchet determined Bumblebees injuries were nothing serious and he would be fine tomorrow, provided he got plenty of recharge that night.

"Bumblebee, putting yourself at risk was perhaps not the wisest of strategies. But you performed admirably."
Optimus said as Bumblebee emerged from the Med-bay. Bumblebee beeped his apologies to his leader, but also thanked his for the praise he received. A honking came form the tunnel as Bulkhead and Arcee emerged from the outside. Optimus's spark sped up when he saw Arcee arrive and transform. For a while now, he and Arcee had been involved in a relationship, of personal matters. He was getting to the stage where he was realising that he was in love with her. He hoped she felt the same. A few days ago when Megatron was destroyed and the Space bridge was blown up, Arcee had gotten hurt whilst fighting. When he saw her there,
lying so limp in Bumblebees arms as her life signal got weaker, he could feel his spark breaking. It took all of his will power not to take her from Bumblebee and hold her close too his spark and never let her go.

Ratchet moved over to the newly arrived members, almost excitedly.

"Well! How were me... I mean our projects received?" Miko, Jack and Raf all looked at each other, unsure of what too say. They'd all told Bulkhead and Arcee about the disasters Ratchets projects caused at school. And how they were being made to remake them (Not that they were going to tell Ratchet about them having to do another one, as he'd try to take over again).
They told Optimus, Bumblebee and Ratchet what happened; Ratchet didn't take the news lightly.
"Well on our planet, you would've been awarded the highest honours!" Ratchet mumbled something almost inaudible before walking back to his med-bay.

'They should've stuck to using us three as help.' Bumblebee said as he moved toward Optimus.
"Indeed Bumblebee. Our human friends would've been wise to stray from Ratchets path." Optimus said with the hint of a smile and amusement in his voice.

Team Prime then spent the rest of the night talking about the Science Fair and Bumblebee and Optimus's battle until the humans had to go home.

Optimus had spent a while in the Main hanger, working on something on the computer. He heard some shuffling behind him. Turning around he saw nothing. Ratchet had gone too recharge a while ago, Arcee, Bumblebee and Bulkhead had gone recharge before Ratchet. He was about to return to work when he felt something grab him from behind. He got ready to attack, until he processed the feel of the hands. They were small, dainty yet strong.

"Why are you still awake?" The feminine voice confirmed his thoughts. Arcee released her grip on Primes mid-section so he could turn around to face her. He bent down too her level and she immediately wrapped her arms around his neck as he wrapped his around her waist. They kissed each other passionately for a few minutes. If they were human, they would've suffocated. Night time was really the only time they could be together, without the rest of the team, humans or decepticons too interrupt their time. They pulled each other into a more soft kiss that didn't last as long as the first. The first kiss was mainly about passion as they had both wanted to hold each other all that day. The need for each other was there every day, but for some reason, today it was more intense. The need was more Lust than love.

Optimus picked Arcee up and she wrapped her legs around his waist, to the best of her ability. They both knew what they wanted. He moved them over to the wall and pinned Arcee there. He kissed her forcefully, yet lovingly. He held her against the wall with his body and one of is hands on her stomach; whilst the second held the back of her neck, pulling her towards him. She brought her own hands up to play with his Antennas, because she knew that this was a large hotspot for him. She loved the sound of his moans as she played with them teasingly. However, she wasn't the only one who knew a hotspot. He began playing with the sensitive wires on her sides, causing her to moan and arch against him. He pushed her back into the wall. He was a Prime, and Primes are programmed by Primus to be in control of things.
He drew his lips away from hers and trailed kisses down her cheeks before attacking her neck and chest with kisses and bites to the sensitive cabling that was there. He knew this was a massive turn on for her, and that is exactly what he wanted. More fun for her and him. She clung to his neck as he got more aggressive and passionate with her. Her moans increased in volume, despite her efforts too keep them in. She bit her lip but the moans and pleas for Optimus kept escaping her mouth. The things he could do to her...

"Optimus... Stop teasing me! I need you!" She managed to finish her sentence without any moans escaping, somehow. It was all the encouragement Optimus needed. He grabbed her aft with both hands and carried her to his room. The two never broke their kiss as they travelled down the corridor, got into Optimus's room and he locked the door. Before they knew it, Arcee was lying with her back on Optimus's berth as he held himself over her like a gargoyle. The two were still locked in their passionate kiss.

Optimus and Arcee lay in each others arms. They knew that it wouldn't be long before Arcee had to go back too her own room, that way the rest of the team wouldn't get suspicious. The two were content with the fact their relationship was a secret. Especially Optimus, if the Decepticons knew he and Arcee were together, they wouldn't hesitate to use her against him; in whatever means possible. He didn't even want to think of what could happen too her. Attack, Kidnapping, Torture, Death... The last idea made Optimus's energon run cold and he subconsciously clung to Arcee harder. She noticed this.
"Whats wrong?" She asked gently, giving him a soft kiss on the cheek.
"Arcee, I don't want the Decepticons to harm you. The thought of them hurting you just too hurt me is enough to make my energon run cold. I want to protect you. From everything. I love you Arcee." Optimus bared the emotions he had in his spark too her because he loved her, he could trust her.
Arcee felt her spark flutter. When Optimus had begun speaking, he spoke with a tone that made her think he was leaving her. But when he said he loved her, her whole body tingled. She pushed on his chest until he was on his back. Climbing on top of him, one leg on each side of his waist, she leant down and kissed him lovingly. "I love you too Optimus." She said. Optimus quickly propped himself up on his elbows and kissed her again. Pulling himself up more he brough one hand too her cheek and the other behind her neck. Hers went to his neck and held him close.

For the second time, the two showed each other how much love and devotion they had for each other. When the time came for Arcee to leave, neither wanted too let go of each other. But they had too. With a last kiss goodnight, the hugged each other. Arcee left Optimus and headed for her own room. Her spark still felt fluttery from her and Optimus's confessions. It was going to be harder to hide their relationship from everyone now they knew this; but somehow, they would manage.
