Ratchet bolted out of the Ark, tears stinging in his optics
"Ratchet, wait!" Ironhide chased after the white medic. Quickly he grabbed his wrist causing them to stop.
"Ratchet, that kiss didn't mean a thing, hell it wasn't even a kiss! She jus fell o top on me, nottin more."
Ironhide said as he pulled Ratchet into a tight but gentle hug.
"Ratchet, if Ah died, Ah'd want my spark ta be with you so I could say," he gently lifted Ratchet's head to look at him, "'Ratchet, ya mean more ta me then Cybertron r the Earth n Ah love ya darling.'"
Ratchet started to shack in Ironhide's arms and fresh tear of happiness rolled down. Ironhide reached up to cup Ratchet's face in his big hands and moved his thumb to wipe away the tears.
"Ironhide," was all Ratchet could say.
Then Ironhide bent down to kiss Ratchet, after they broke the kiss Ratchet wrapped his arms around Ironhide and whispered,
"I love you too Ironhide, and Hide?"
"Yeah?"
"That was really cheesy."
"Heh yeah but it's true," He smiled and squeezed a little bit.
"Heheh, yeah I know," Ratchet blush and nuzzled into Ironhide's chest more.
