Author's note: My 70th story! =D Here is another brand new story, as you know we've had so far Optimus and Trojan confess their feelings and Ironhide and Ratchet confess theirs. Now it's Steelhide's turn to confess his feelings to Que! Credit to StargazerPrime for the idea of pairing Que and Steelhide =D
Steelhide and Trojan belong to me.
Set between 'Prime Time' and 'Zeus' and loosely related to 'Love Confession – IronhideXRatchet' and 'Love Confession – OptimusXTrojan'.
"Hello" Autobot talking.
"Hello" Thoughts.
Steelhide was on the shooting range shooting at the drones, but his aiming was off as he kept on thinking about a certain inventor, every time he saw the mech his Spark would flutter. When he met first him it was like love at first sight, he hadn't told anyone about how he felt as he was too shy to talk about that kind of thing, but if he didn't talk to someone now the feelings for Que will become unbearable. He sighed and powered down his cannons and retracted them.
"Your aim was a bit off" a voice said making him jump and tweet in surprise, he turned round and saw his older brother.
Steelhide put a hand to his chest "Bro don't do that, you nearly gave me a Spark attack" he said.
"Sorry" Ironhide replied softly and crossed his arms over his chest casually "your aim was a bit off, that's unusual for you"
'Steel sighed "I know" he replied quietly.
'Hide walked over and put a hand on his brother's shoulder "Are you sure you're ok bro?" he asked softly "you've been acting strange lately and Sire and I are concerned about you"
Steelhide beeped quietly and looked down "It's...nothing bro" he lied.
Ironhide put an arm round him "Are you sure?" he asked softly.
'Steel sighed "Well...you know when you were in love with Ratch and before you guys confessed...how did you act?" he asked quietly.
'Hide frowned a little at the unusual question, but answered anyway "Well, my Spark would flutter every time I saw him, and when I felt like I could go and tell him I would get nervous when I actually got to the Medbay" he replied.
Steelhide nodded "Well...I have the same problem" he replied quietly.
"You mean you have feelings for someone?" Ironhide asked softly.
'Steel nodded "Yeah" he replied quietly.
'Hide nodded "Who is it?" he asked softly.
Steelhide took a deep breath "I-It's Que" he replied quietly "I really like him bro, he's enthusiastic, smart and just a great mech to be around"
Ironhide smiled "You two share the same enthusiasm, I can tell, you're made for one another" he replied softly "it's ok to be nervous about it, it's a big thing to confess your feelings and the little fears that nibble at your processor, but in the end it will feel like a weight has been lifted of your shoulders"
'Steel smiled and nodded "So I should go and talk to Que?" he asked.
'Hide smiled and nodded "I know how shy you can get, just try your best" he replied softly "you deserve a Bondmate and a chance at being happy"
Steelhide chirped and hugged his brother.
Ironhide smiled and hugged him back "It'll be ok" he said softly.
'Steel smiled and nodded, he let go of his brother and took a deep breath "Ok, I'm gonna go and talk to Que" he said "wish me luck" he walked back to base.
'Hide smiled softly, his little brother had found love.
Steelhide walked into the base where his Sire and Optimus were sitting on the sofa, he knew the Prime was currently Sparked and Trojan's Sire Protocols were active.
The dark blue mech saw his son walk in "Hey son, are you alright?" he asked softly.
'Steel smiled and nodded "I'm ok Sire" he assured "I just need to do something that's overdue"
"What is it?" Optimus asked.
Steelhide smirked "Let's just say it'll be worth it" he replied "see ya later" he walked up the hallway.
The two Bondmates shared a puzzled look and shrugged.
Steelhide stopped outside Que's lab "Ok 'Steel" he thought "just knock, walk in and start a casual conversation" he straightened up and prepared himself, however before he could lift his hand the door slid open making him jump and chirp a little in surprise.
Que jumped a little when he saw him, but deep down his Spark fluttered "Hello 'Steel" he greeted.
"Err...hey" 'Steel greeted and blushed "um...how are you?"
The Inventor smiled "I'm good" he replied "how are you?"
Steelhide rubbed the back of his neck "Yeah...yeah I'm good" he replied "um...what are you doing?"
"I'm just going to get some energon" Que said with a smile "would you like to join me?"
"Yes! Um...I mean, yeah that would be great" Steelhide replied and smiled sheepishly.
The Inventor chuckled softly and they walked down the hallway to the main part of the base, on the way they passed Ironhide who winked his good optic at his brother.
'Steel smiled slightly and they carried on their walk.
They walked into the main part of the base and Que got the two of them some energon.
Steelhide sat down on the sofa and watched him "Primus his body is gorgeous" he thought and blushed when Que looked over at him.
"You alright 'Steel?" he asked.
'Steel nodded "Yeah I'm fine" he replied and tweeted shyly, he put a hand over his mouth.
The inventor chuckled softly and picked up two energon cubes filled with medium-grade energon, he walked over and sat beside Steelhide on the sofa "Here you go" he said.
'Steel smiled and took it "Thanks" he replied and took a swig of his energon.
"You're welcome" Que replied with a smile and took a swig of his own energon.
The two were quiet whilst they drank their energon, then Steelhide cleared his vocals "So err...made any interesting inventions?" he asked.
The inventor thought a moment "Hmm, well I am drawing up the blueprints for a transporter that will travel anywhere in the universe" he replied with a smile "it'll take a while to build but it'll be worth it"
'Steel smiled and nodded "I could help you if you like?" he offered.
Que smiled "That would be great 'Steel" he replied.
Steelhide's Spark fluttered and he smiled "Cool" he said.
The inventor's Spark fluttered at his smile, he really wanted to tell him how he felt, but he didn't have the courage to do it.
'Steel shifted a little to try and get comfortable, he couldn't stop glancing at Que from the corner of his optic
But Que was the same way, he couldn't stop glancing at Steelhide from the corner of his optic.
The two were quiet as they both secretly admired each other, both of their Sparks fluttered in their chests and their feelings for each other were becoming unbearable.
Finally Steelhide broke the silence with a sigh "Que...I...I've got to tell you something" he said quietly.
The Inventor looked at him, but deep down his Spark was pounding "What is it 'Steel?" he asked.
'Steel opened his mouth but no words came out, now what could he do? Then he remembered a human saying 'actions speak louder than words' "Primus I hope Que doesn't hate me for this" he thought and looked at Que "Don't hate me for this" he said.
Before the Inventor could ask what he meant his optics widened when he felt his metal lips touch his, Steelhide was kissing him! Then that means...he loves him too! He put his arms round his neck and deepened the kiss.
Steelhide put his arms round Que's midsection as they kissed "Finally, I've confessed my feelings!" he thought.
When they ended their kiss they both whispered "I love you" they both smiled and kissed again, when they ended their kiss they both got up and walked to Steelhide's quarters.
When they arrived they lay down on the berth "Ok, now I need to be honest" Que said softly "no secrets, I used to have a Bondmate named Perceptor, we broke our bond a long time ago but we're still friends.
Steelhide nodded in understanding "Well you're my first Bondmate" he replied softly "and I don't mind the fact that I'm not your first, I love ya"
The Inventor smiled "I love you too" he replied "are you ready?"
'Steel took a deep breath and nodded, he lay down on the berth and his Bondmate-to-be got on top, he smiled and looked down at his chest plates.
Que heard the familiar hiss and clicking of Steelhide's chest plates opening, he looked down and saw his red Spark "You have a red Spark" he said softly "that's rare amongst us"
'Steel smiled and nodded "Sire and 'Hide have red Sparks too apparently" he replied.
The Inventor smiled and nodded and opened his own chest plates revealing his icy blue Spark "Ready?" he asked softly.
Steelhide smiled and nodded "I'm ready" he replied.
Que smiled and leaned down and their Sparks touched, they both felt a life-long Bond starting to form between them and they smiled.
After a minute they both shouted out as overload hit them, then when they came back online they closed their chest plates and shared another passionate kiss, both felt whole and complete.
The End
