Sunstreaker hurt all over as he rubbed the sparkling bump; he had managed to hide it this long from his brother and their third mate, Ravenswing. He didn't tell them about this for more than one reason mostly that this sparkling had been cause do to him getting raped. Also that he couldn't bear to tell them, even after all the years they have been bonded he still wasn't the most loving both in the world towards both of them. He loved his little runt, Slick, though Slick was hardly a runt by any means of the word anymore. He actually towered over his siblings and had for some time.
He cared for each sparkling he really did or at least part of him did, but Slick had always been his favorite since he and his siblings had been sparked so early so many years ago. No one knew he was sparked not even Ratchet, and that probably wasn't the smartest idea, the lets no tell the medic who needs to know. Well he couldn't say no one knew he suspected his little runt knew or at least suspected something, as he was the only one who knew where Sunny had been staying.
Sunny had moved out away from his brother and their mate because of everything that had been going on. Something was wrong with him, majorly wrong and that Ratchet knew about. The medic told him that his body was basically shutting down, bit by bit, it would start with those minor systems the ones that you didn't really need. But, it would progress, at what speed Ratchet didn't know, but it would come down to where he would offline because of this. And it would be a very painful death because the last things to go would be his major systems.
He didn't know when his death would come but he knew it would come and after the mess he had made of his life, he accepted his fate. He had done what Primus had wanted, had sparked the last set of triplets, they were grown now and doing what they were supposed to be doing. The war was over and the artist he had been so long ago hadn't returned, he was alone but it was because of his own doing. But his little runt wouldn't let him be alone for long and Sunny would welcome his company when he came.
Sunny sighed as he tried to get comfortable he knew he was due anytime now little did he know what was coming his way. He was reading a data pad when the first pain started and he felt the oil between his legs. He tried to get to the berth but only made it as far as the doorframe, he eased down onto the ground. He labored for hours but something was odd the pain was different, how he didn't know but he knew it was. Finally the sparkling started out of him as he pushed and strained to get the sparkling out. Finally he felt it slip out and before he could even see if it lived he was no longer alone.
"Well, well, looks like I picked the right day to pay you another visit"
Sunny froze as terror moved through him, that was still a feeling he wasn't used to and didn't like one bit. His rapist had returned. He tried to get to his feet anything but his attacker was on him and proceeded to rape him again.
"Still so tight after all this time and after giving me a sparkling, such a good bot you are"
Sunny cried out as he was taken again and again, after what seemed like forever his attacker finished inside of him and pulled out.
"Your no longer useful to me" He said and pulled his weapon out and aimed it right over Sunny's spark. "Goodbye lover" He said then fired.
Sunny died instantly and elsewhere on Cybertron Ravenswing and Sideswipe were hit with overwhelming pain. Something had happened to Sunny; somehow they managed to keep going and went to where they had felt the pain come from.
Sides knew where they were this was where he and Sunny had lived before the war. They went inside and found Sunny….offline. "No….primus no!" Sides cried and fell to his knees as he looked at his brother's offline form. "Why Sunny! Why!"
Sunny's spark floated freely upward as it headed toward what it thought was going to be the well of all sparks, but something stopped it. Sunny's spark waited as the image of Primus suddenly stood in front of him, blocking the well of all sparks as well as the pit of no return.
"Sunstreaker, my child' primus started, 'you had a rough life. You were loved, but it was hard for you to love back with the same unconditional love. That being said, I have a proposition for you". Sunny's spark just watched as Primus presented the choices. "I can either allow you to go back to your loved ones as the little sparkling that would otherwise die or I can allow you to go to the well, and the little one who you were blessed with will not live, as it has no spark right now."
Sunny's spark was sparkbroken as it listened to the choices. It wanted rest so bad, but it also wanted love. Primus continued. "And your mates are grieving as are your precious sparklings, particularly Slick, who I know you shared a special relationship with. I await your decision."
Sunny wasn't sure what to do, he could see the warm light up ahead, but he could also feel the longing pulses from his mates as well as feel the pain in his son, Slick. And though it pained Sunny greatly, he knew what he had to do. And soon enough Primus granted his request.
Tears were still being shed as Sunny's body was shattered and melted from the weapon his rapist had used. Ravenswing was comforting Sides, who had lost not only his mate and twin, but the other half of his spark. Rave was also comforting Slick who held the sparkling that had just been sparked, as it lay unmoving. Rave had tears in his optics, but knew he had to remain strong.
And while the three were crying, a miracle happened – the sparkling began to move.
Sunny tried to open his optics, but the light was too bright, and so he kept his optics offline. He started to squirm, and could feel that he was in loving hands and safe. He could hear voices that he recognized. He felt himself being passed off to someone else, and he recognized the voice – It was Sideswipe, his twin. Sunny wanted to talk, but all that came out of the sparkling's mouth was clicks and whistles. Sunny was frustrated, as he realized his spark had come back, but in the form of a sparking. But it was a comforting secret pulse from Sides that even Sides was unaware of that calmed the little one down.
Rave and Sides suddenly felt something different, as if Sunny wasn't gone – like he was still there. But they could still see his charred remains and didn't understand why they felt as they did until Rave took the sparkling that had finally made it. The little one smiled, and though Sunny rarely if ever smiled, Rave recognized it in a sparkbeat. "Sides, I think our mate has come back to us. I think his spark is housed in this precious sparkling that had been sparked without a spark. We all have a chance to start over."
Slick and Sides didn't want to believe the seeker, but one look at the sparkling's smile and both recognized what Rave had said was true – Sunny had come back to them.
Sides took the sparkling back into his arms and held the sparklings body close to him. "Oh Sunny...I promise things will be different this time"
Sunny made little clicks and whistles and moved his arms a bit. Ok this might be annoying he thought to himself but he believed his brother that things would be different this time. He knew he would be loved and cared for, unlike with the bots who had been his creators.
Slick was in awe as he could see his mother's offline body before him but he felt his mothers spark in the little sparkling body. He gently rubbed the tiny helm taking in the paler yellow color. "We need energon and make sure he's okay"
Rave agreed and he picked up the lifeless body of Sunstreaker. "Sides you take Sunny in your alt form, Slick fly ahead and tell Ratchet we're bringing in a sparkling." Slick nodded and was off, boy was Ratchet gonna be in for a surprise.
Sunny enjoyed the ride in his brother's form. The thing he didn't like was the seatbelt that was wrapped tightly around his form to keep him safe. He tried to take it off, but it wouldn't budge. Resigned to the fact he was trapped until they reached the base, Little Sunny huffed, though it came out as a grunt. Sides knew what his brother was trying to do. 'Sunny, you need to remain safe, you are only a sparkling. If I let you out of that belt I would be no better than our original creators." That was enough to shut Sunny up, who eventually fell asleep. Rave flew just above Sides, happy to have his mate return. They knew it would never be the same relationship, but that didn't seem to matter, as Rave knew that given time, Sunny would love him.
Meanwhile, Slick flew ahead and alerted those in the med bay, including Ratchet, First Aid, Fader, Kryptonight, as well as Hook and a few others that a lost sparkling had been found and was being brought in by Rave and Sides. Slick couldn't wait to see what Ratchet would do when the old medic realized the truth. Soon they arrived and Rave held the sleeping Sunny long enough for Sides to transform before he handed him off and he carried the shell of Sunstreaker.
The medics were waiting and Ratchets spark filled with dread when he saw Sunstreaker's offline body. He had the body laid on a berth while he came and got the sparkling. Sunny woke and he squirmed a bit. "Hello to you too, I need to make certain your alright" Ratchet said and started his exam. He froze when he saw the results. "What the..." Sunny took one look at Ratchet, and freaked out a bit, resulting in the sparkling lubricating all over the old medic. Sides tried so hard not to laugh at the scene, as that was something he knew his brother might have done on purpose, though even Ratchet could tell it truly was an accident, as the little sparkling cried and shook while being held by the medic. Little Sunny shook as Ratchet looked scary from his point of view. And while Ratchet looked him over, Rave came and helped hold the little one. With Rave's help, the precious little sparkling settled down, but Ratchet had one question. "Is that really who I think it is?"
"Yes," replied Rave. "Somehow, Sunny's spark came back into this sparkling which had been sparked sparkless."
Ratchet was more than surprised. "Well guess this is better then what the alternative was" Ratchet said knowing that Sunny had been dying anyway. Ratchet gently cleaned Sunny up and got him appropriately padded, before getting a sparkling bottle. "I'm sure he's hungry"
Rave nodded and hugged the little one closely. Sunny snuggled close to Rave, feeling the warm spark he had ignored so many times. This time it brought comfort. "Let's get you something to eat, my little one, and then we can introduce you to more bots" Rave stated, love filling his voice. Slick and Sides followed Rave, both smiling as they could feel the love and bond that Rave and Sunny seemed to be sharing now. Slick had to head off to his own family, as he had ended up with a sweet mech, and had two little mechlings of his own. Sides stayed with his mate, ready to help Rave raise the little sparkling. Rave quickly found the right kind of energon and began feeding the little one. "Slow down, little one, or you will get sick" Rave stated as Sunny was drinking too fast before slowing down. Sides went up and kissed his mate, happy how things had turned out – that Sunny now had a new chance to start over and they could raise him with all the love he deserved and more.
And while Rave fed the little one, Sides contacted his sisters, hoping they would be as excited by the news as he was. Winder and Sandy were tending to their sparklings; they had a good number most of them with their mate, Flightrisk. They got the comm from their brother.
"Yes Sides? What is it?" Winder asked the sisters having no idea what their brother was about to tell them. Sides told his sisters everything that he knew, including about the little sparkling that now housed Sunny's spark. The sisters were horrified as well as happy about what they had learned, though neither Sides nor the sisters knew that Sunny had been raped and supposedly offlined by his rapist. Sunny seemed happy to lay in Rave's arms and feel the love he never appreciated before. He tried to talk but all that came out were coos, clicks, and warbles. Rave just smiled and held the little one until Sunny fell into recharge. Rave could feel the absolute love the sparkling seemed to have for him and his mate. They said they would come by as soon as they were able.
Sides soon ended the comm and saw Sunny sleeping and he took a picture of the sight. "Rave love I think it's time you know why Sunny became the way he was." Sides said and told his mate about how bad their creators had been.
Rave was appalled by what he had learned about his mates' past. Rave was determined to raise the new sparkling in the way he and his mates had raised all their sparklings – with love and understanding. "I promise you this, Sides – I will raise him with all the love I have and give him what he should have had and missed." Rave stated, causing Sides to smile.
Meanwhile Fader, having seen and heard the story of the new sparkling for himself contacted his parents as well as his siblings and their families to let them know what had happened. Optimus and Mirage were content to lounge about their apartment, after all Optimus wasn't Prime any longer. At the tail end of the war there was a final battle between himself and Megatron, Megatron lost but do to his injuries he passed the Matrix to Keeper making him the new prime. He still remembered offlining and being brought back as well as a couple of others who had been offlined. They got the comm from Fader and were more than a bit surprised. "Seems like he will finally feel love, right beloved?" Mirage asked his aging mate, content as they had grandchildren and great grandchildren at their knee. Mirage enjoyed that his mate was no longer the Prime. Optimus nodded as the two cuddled together.
Meanwhile, Sunny soon woke and noticed he had been placed in a crib alone while Ravenswing was napping in the nearby berth. Sunny didn't want to be left alone and soon began to whimper. Rave heard the soft cries and soon was over to take care of the little one. "I'm still here, little one. As long as my spark beats, I won't leave you" Rave said as he comforted Sunny, who soon stopped whimpering, content to nuzzle into the seeker's chest plates. Sunny nuzzled into the warmth and was nearly asleep again when he had an accident and cried softly. He was cold, wet and hungry.
Rave gently took the little one, cleaned him up and changed him before getting the little sparkling energon. Rave sat in a special rocking chair and rocked the little one, while singing, as he fed Sunny. Sunny felt safe and loved, something he hadn't felt in all his previous existence, partially due to his own bitterness, but mostly due to how his parents had treated him and his brother as they grew up. This was different and new, but very welcome, and Sunny hoped it would last. Sunny sucked on the bottle and soon his little tanks were full and he burped and cooed. He truly hoped this wasn't just some trick or something temporary, he felt the loved and craved it so much.
Rave could feel that Sunny was worried. "Don't worry, my little one, or should I call you Sunny, you are wanted and you are loved" and with that Ravenswing tickled the little sparkling and played with him all the while showing just how much love the seeker and his mate had for the little one. Rave knew it wasn't enough to just say he loved Sunny, he and his mate had to show it, and they did just that every chance they got. Sunny laughed and giggled as he was tickled and played with and clicked with happiness. He made little chirps when he saw Sides and reached for his brother.
Rave handed the little one off before going for a flight. Rave would have loved to take the little sparkling with him, but Sunny was way too young, and so allowing Sides to have time with the little one was the next best thing. Sunny didn't want Rave to go, but when Sides and Rave both said that Rave would be back, Sunny reluctantly allowed the seeker to leave. "It's alright Sunny, Rave will come back" Sides said and played with his brother before getting a datapad and started to read Sunny a story. Sunny listened to his brother's voice and wanted to stay awake but he couldn't and soon fell asleep in his brothers arms. And he was still sleeping when some of the others stopped by.
Grunt walked in, one of the few single mechs left in his age group as he just hadn't found the right bot yet. "Who is this precious little one?" Grunt asked quietly, not wanting to disturb the sparkling's nap.
"Hello Grunt, it's a long story but this is my brother, he's been given a second chance" Sides said. "What can I do for you?"
"Just trying to hide. Hook's brat has been after me again. I can't stand him, as he knows nothing other than satisfying his own lust. I heard he also raped a bot not long ago. I want to try and find someone who I can love and will love me. That and I wanted to see if what I had heard about the newest little sparkling was true" Grunt stated as he gently rubbed the sleeping Sunny's helm, thankfully not waking up the little one.
"That's terrible, you can stay here as long as you need to" Sides said and there was something nagging him about that rape comment he just had no idea what. As he didn't know that was who had raped and eventually killed his brother.
"Thanks, my friend. My mom, Bluesky, told me how she was raped and sparked me. After hearing about that, I was determined that I wanted a mate like my mom found, as Swoop absolutely adores her and treats as she should be treated. I plan on holding out a bit longer" grunt stated and as he continued talking, Sunny woke and at first was frightened by the visitor in their presence. This time when Grunt tried to pat Sunny's head, Sunny hissed even though Grunt was no threat.
"Sunny, Grunt's a friend he just wants to meet you" Sides said and tried to sooth the hissing sparkling. Sensing that Sides felt Grunt was no threat, Sunny stopped hissing. Grunt held his arms open and soon Sunny climbed over and sat on Grunt's lap. Grunt tickled and played with the precious little sparkling, causing Sunny to laugh. Sunny realized that he was loved by more than just his former mates, but all the Autobots. Grunt smiled as Sunny laughed and giggled. Sunny played a bit more before he made it be known that he was hungry.
"Grunt would you like to feed him?" Sides asked.
"Sure" stated Grunt as held the precious little sparkling. Sunny slowly took in the energon, happy to feel all the love around him. Sides smiled, content to watch as Sunny was fed. Sunny was content to drink his energon and had to be changed after he had been fed about then Rave came back.
Rave smiled as he saw grunt feeding the little one. "HI Grunt. It's nice to see you" Rave stated as he took the little one back. Sunny nuzzled into the seeker's chest plate. "Thanks for your help."
"Not a problem" grunt said, remaining in the quarters. Sides showed Grunt where he could stay while he was there and told Rave what was going on.
"Of course you can stay, Grunt. I wouldn't want that bot within 20 feet of me if I could help it. But you know, word has it that Astrotrain and Thrust's mech Blade has a crush on you" Rave told Grunt. Grunt rolled his optics. Many bots had crushes on him, both femme and mech, but none of them ever registered in his own spark. However, he had never met Blade before, but Grunt feared it was all the same and he was doomed to spend life as a bachelor. Sunny reached out and patted Grunt, trying to make the bot feel better. Grunt, Sides, and Rave smiled as it was just too cute.
Grunt smiled and took Sunny back into his arms. "Thank you little one, I feel better now" He said and rubbed the tiny helm. The smile Sunny gave would have melted any spark and he clicked happily. Grunt went to lay down, as he was tired. Rave stayed up, carefully watching. Sides had gone to sleep with Sunny, but the seeker, for some strange reason remained up. And then the reason appeared, as the bot who was stalking Grunt finally appeared at Rave's door. Rave was angry when he had learned what this bot had done. And with the seeker's anger peaked, the bot wisely left, as everyone knew it was bad news to piss off a seeker. Just ask Seaspan what Bluefire had done when Hook's oldest sparkling named Jaws pissed the seeker off. Jaws was in the med bay for a month and damn lucky he wasn't killed.
Once the threat was gone, Rave now understood why all the bots wanted the bot offlined, there just was no way to do it, as they had to have proof of crimes, and that was hard to come by. But about an hour after the stalker left, Blade stopped by, as he had borrowed something from Sides and wanted to return it. Rave took in the bot, noting his nervousness, as if Blade could sense Grunt was nearby. Rave was picking up something from Blade – Blade had more than a crush on Grunt, but right now, Grunt just wanted to be left alone, as he was worried that he would never meet the right bot for him.
"Thank you for returning this, I will make sure Sides gets this when he wakes up" Rave said.
"Before I send you off Blade, do you know anything about Grunts stalker?
"I know if he ever tries to hurt Grunt in any way, I will kill him" Blade stated, not ever realizing what he had said, as his spark yearned for the young bot more than it could take. Rave was taken aback, as Grunt was pretty strong and far capable of taking care of himself, but Blade was even bigger than Grunt and the seeker truly realized that Blade was meant to be Grunt's sparkmate, as only someone who loved another bot that much would even say something like that.
"That's good to know, if you find out anything about his activities please let me know" Rave said and sent the young bot on his way.
Optimus and Mirage dropped by a few hours later to visit. "Came to see the newest little one" Mirage stated, still in good shape despite his age. Optimus just stood there, and though Keeper was the Prime, many still referred to Optimus as Prime or Optimus, at least those who remembered him being the Prime, before he had stepped down and let his oldest son take over and before the war had ended. "How is he doing?"
"All things considering well, he seems to be a happy sparkling" Rave said. Just then Sides came out with the awake Sunny.
"Optimus, Mirage this is a surprise"
"Old habits die hard" replied Mirage, elbowing his mate. "Don't they?" Optimus just nodded and took the now awake Sunny from Sideswipe's arms. Sunny was nervous, but when he felt the warmth coming from Optimus, he nuzzled in and clicked, happily. "Well, it looks like someone found a new friend."
Optimus smiled and held Sunny close to his spark. "That is not a problem" Optimus said and gently tickled Sunny who giggled. "He'll always have a friend in me." Rave and sides watched as the two bots who had help them the most in raising their first sparklings were now here to check out the newest edition. Mirage could only smile, figuring Sunny didn't remember him, even though Mirage was one of Sunny's favorite bots to target for pranks. Mirage left the little one alone, as Optimus enjoyed holding the sparkling, just like he enjoyed holding his grandsparklings and great-grandsparklings. Optimus played with him and talked to him softly in that deep voice he had and Sunny would just click and chirp, like he was participating in the conversation.
Meanwhile Sides talked with Mirage telling him what was going on and with the stalker bot.
Mirage listened carefully, as he had unknowingly gathered evidence against this bot; he was just waiting for a few more pieces before he would present his case to Keeper as well as a jury. If it was one thing Mirage hated, it was someone coming after his family. Sunny enjoyed his time with the leader, finally able to see what had made Optimus such an effective leader. Then Sunny spotted Optimus's sensitive audio receivers, and before Optimus knew what had happened, Sunny had crawled to Optimus's helm and bit down hard on one of the receivers. Having been bitten by sparklings before, Optimus knew not to jerk, but that didn't take the pain away. Optimus did a good job hiding his wince and reached up and gently got hold of Sunny. "Alright little one, come on now"
Sides told Mirage that Grunt was going to be staying here and was unaware that the stalker in question had come by while he and the others had been sleeping. Grunt soon woke and came out to see his grandparents visiting. Grunt was pleasantly surprised due to the fact that though his grandfather was no longer Prime, both still kept as busy as their bodies allowed them. It was obvious that with Mirage being younger that kept Optimus going. "Grandma, grandpa? What are you two doing here?" Grunt asked.
Optimus didn't respond right away, having been caught up in holding Sunny, but Mirage went over right away and gave the bot a hug. Grunt was a bit embarrassed, but when he saw that Sides and Rave said nothing about it, he felt less embarrassed about it. 'We came to see how things were going for the newest arrival as well as find you, as Bluesky told us what happened to you yesterday. Have no fear, I am on the case" Mirage stated, not letting anyone know just how close he was to exposing the stalker and rapist bot. Mirage had noticed a few things and had picked up a little more evidence, evidence he hoped Perceptor could help him show Keeper that this bot was a threat to all transformers.
"Thanks grandma" Grunt said.
Optimus looked up then. "No harm will come while we are able to prevent it." Grunt smiled, which made Optimus and Mirage happy, as they knew Grunt realized that they weren't going to give up fighting the stalker, though neither Grunt nor Optimus and Mirage knew what Rave knew about a certain bot named Blade. At least, until the bot came back by, having been led by his spark to come and visit once again. Blade was surprised to find Optimus and Mirage there, as very few young bots saw the pair outside of their quarters, as Optimus was really getting up there.
And it didn't help that not too long ago, Optimus had lost his brother Crankcase to old age. One of the things Crankcase had maintained as he got older and older, Sentinel had always said he was too stubborn to die in battle. Well Sentinel had been right for Crankcase had died in his berth surrounded by his mates. Who even with their grief kept going for their mate as that had been his last request. Crankcase had lived to be one of the oldest transformers, positively ancient. What was working against Optimus was the fact that he had been offline for a time before he had been brought back. Bumblebee hadn't been offline but he had been rebuilt, Ratchet hadn't been happy about that but he hadn't been around when it had happened.
Of course, Optimus had had his structure rebuilt a little here and a little there, but never had a complete overhaul. What really kept Optimus going was Mirage. Primus had told Optimus that he wouldn't go until his mate went offline, and Mirage was still young enough to go on for a while longer, which actually pleased Optimus, as he had wanted to see what peace would bring.
Meanwhile, Blade introduced himself to Optimus and Mirage. And while Optimus didn't pick it up, Mirage knew instantly why Blade had come – as Mirage could feel the feelings Blade had for Grunt and how Blade's spark was skipping hoping to get to talk to the bot. Mirage, knowing he and his mate were in the way soon left after handing Sunny back to Rave. Sunny wasn't happy to lose his new friends, but Rave reassured the little bot that he would see the pair again and that caused Sunny to click, coo, and smile. Optimus asked Mirage once they were aware what was up, and decided to visit their family the very large and extended family.
Sunny meanwhile clicked at Blade. Mirage told Optimus what he suspected about Grunt and Blade and Optimus nodded. Blade had a chance to hold Sunny as he waited for Grunt to finish cleaning himself up. Sunny clicked happily in this bot's arms he liked the good feeling he got. He clicked and chirped when Grunt came back trying to tell him this bot was good. Grunt smiled, as Sunny seemed to know something, though what the sparkling would never tell. Grunt looked at Blade and was instantly struck with something he had never felt before – as his spark raced and skipped jolts. Blade looked over, his own systems going haywire. Sunny sensed what was going on and made a motion to be handed back to Rave. Blade handed the little one back and Grunt and Blade soon began to talk, though it was like pulling teeth even though sides and Rave, as well as Sunny, could see the two were meant to be sparkmates.
Sunny snuggled into Raves chest as Blade and Grunt were little by little moving closer to each other; soon they were right by each other. "Blade..." Grunt breathed looking into the others optics. Sunny wanted to watch, but with Rave taking Sunny to another room, Sunny was a little upset until he saw that both his mates were in there to give him attention.
"Nice to meet you finally, Grunt" Blade stated, his voice shaking slightly, as he could feel the compulsion he had to be with this bot.
"Y...yeah...'' Grunt said. "Um...do you...that is..." Grunt managed but couldn't get his voice to keep going.
"I am single and a virgin if that is what you are asking, grunt" Blade stated, surprising himself, "and I feel my spark beating wildly for you." And with that Blade took the unusual step of being very forward and passionately planting a kiss on Grunt's perfect looking lips, or so Blade thought.
Grunt moaned into the kiss and pulled Blades into his arms returning the kiss. "Mine too...mine too..."
Blade, being the more forward and the larger of the two bots slid a hand down and began to gently rub over grunt's paneling, and then whispered, "How bout we go somewhere quiet and get to know each other better" all the while continuing his ministrations. Grunt could hardly say no and was in no position to say no, so away they went, back to Blade's quarters.
"I've never...with anyone'' Grunt said as they made it to Blades quarters, moaning as Blades played with him.
'Then we can learn on each other, as I've never been with anyone either. I wanted to save myself' Blade stated as he kept up the ministrations to the point where Grunt revealed his dripping port and his stiff spike.
Grunt was getting warmed up. "Want you...need you" he said pulling Blade to him.
"Then you shall have me – all of me, my dear" Blade said as he laid Grunt down on the bot's back on the berth. Blade began the foreplay, hoping that during this session they would be able to bond.
Meanwhile, back with the sparkling, Sunny was enjoying the love he felt form both Rave and Sides. And then a special guest came over, as Slick had taken a break from his own family to see how the bot he had once called mother was doing. As soon as Sunny saw Slick he was clicking happily and reaching as best he could for Slick. "I still can't believe this is mom" Slick told Rave and Sides, his other two parents. "But he taught me so much before I became an adult. I owe so much to him" Slick said, causing Rave and Sides to smile.
"Although Sunny never admitted it, you were his favorite sparkling, though you almost didn't make it, as you were formed on the outside of the sparkling chamber and you were the runt of the four" sides stated, surprising Slick, as he never knew at one point he had been the weakest, as now, amongst his quadruplet set, he was the biggest and the strongest.
"I never knew that" Slick said as he took the sparkling that was his mother into his arms, and Sunny started clicking and cooing.
"Yes, Sunny feared for you the most out of you and your siblings"
"Now that I know the story, I guess I can understand. And I hope he knows I still love him dearly" Slick stated as he gently yet tightly hugged the tiny sparkling. Sunny cooed and chirped, clicked and whistled, trying to tell as well as show just how much Sunny still loved his little bot.
"I think it's a good indication that he knows and he loves you too" Sides said as Sunny waved his little arms.
"He seems so much happier" commented Slick, "I really hope that is the case, as I would hate to see him be as bitter as he used to be." That was news to Sides, as neither Rave nor Sides ever thought Slick saw anything but the best side of Sunny.
Slick could see their surprise. "I know a lot more then you think...I knew where he was staying after he moved out, I always went and saw him"
After a moment, Rave nodded and smiled. "Well even though he was bitter and had had difficulties, you were the best thing that ever happened to him and I am not surprised he confided in you."
"I think there was something really wrong with him there towards the end, but I never could get him to confirm it or deny it" Slick said holding the now sleeping Sunny.
"He had caught some type of incurable rust and was slowly dying after being raped. It was obvious that someone attempted to kill him before he was allowed to die, but that is all in the past, as I am glad he is now a happy healthy sparkling" Rave stated, taking little Sunny back from Slick.
Slick hadn't really wanted to hand his mother over but he did anyway. "Who would do such a thing?" Rave had an idea but said nothing, as he didn't want to start any rumors.
"I really don't want to leave him" Slick said referring to his mother.
"You can come see him anytime Slick" Sides said. Slick nodded and soon left. And though they never would have done this in front of their regular sparklings, Sunny was different and so Rave started to tease Sides by rubbing the red bot's groin cover.
Sides moaned and moved into Raves rubbing. "Nnnn...please Rave...please..." Sunny stirred a bit but slept on for the moment. Rave snuck his hand under the paneling, causing Sides to moan even louder. It was to the point where Sunny woke. And while he didn't cry, he was certainly curious as to what was going on. Rave continued his manipulations, eliciting more delicious moans out of the red Lambo, who soon revealed his interfacing equipment. "Take me...nnnn need you inside me..." Sides moaned and tried to get more even as Sunny looked on curious, he was more sparkling then his old self.
At that point, seeing that Sunny wasn't really all there, Sides placed the little one back in his crib and then crawled over and began to suck on Rave's cable to prep it for entry into the red Lambo's heated systems. Sunny was starting to nod off once he was in his crib the two interfacing no longer interesting him. Sides happily sucked away at Raves spike and Rave moaned and decided he had enough. "On your back and spread wide"
Sides did as asked, for he had always loved submitting to the powerful seeker. "Please…please…inside me" Sides begged. Rave happily thrust into the waiting heat that was Sides and after letting him adjust for a moment or two he began thrusting in and out. Sides was in heaven as he felt his mate fill his valve and touch every node in his chute.
"So tight, mmm, you like that don't you, me pounding into that tight little valve"
Sides could only nod as the pleasure took over his systems. "You…you know…ugh ngh…you know I have always… have always liked that, my love….ngh ugh….more….give me more…"sides begged, pleasure coursing through his body as only Rave could do.
Rave was all too happy to give Sides what he wanted and began to pound into his mate. "So tight lover, I could pound into you all day long" Rave knew someday Sunny hopefully would join them once more.
After an intense overload, both Rave and Sides fell into a deep recharge, thinking that Sunny was asleep as well, but the problem was Sunny was wide awake and curious. And so the little sparkling crawled out of his crib and managed to crawl out of the room. It was scary to the little one, but since Sunny knew by spark his way around the ship, he began to crawl off, unaware of the danger he was going to meet.
In the hallway, Sunny's rapist and attempted murderer was walking and talking with Bee, trying to convince the minibot of something but Bee wasn't buying it. Sunny saw and recognized the bot that had done him harm, and the poor little sparkling screamed in terror and began to bawl. Bee immediately went over to the little one while the other bot shied away and left. Sunny was far from his mates, but seeing that the terrible bot had left, Sunny calmed down as Bee held him. Bee held him close. "It's alright little one I won't let that bot hurt you" Bee soothed holding Sunny close to his spark. "Now who do you belong to I wonder" he didn't know about Sunny being a sparkling again yet.
Back in the quarters, Rave shot awake for some reason, as if he had heard and felt the fright in Sunny's spark. Rave quickly woke up sides and both soon realized Sunny had crawled off. Rave and Sides left the room splitting up to find Sunny, and while Sides ran into the bot that had scared Sunny, even though Sides didn't know it, Rave found Bee soothing poor little Sunny. Sunny reached out for Rave even while in Bee's arms. "Well now I know who he goes to" Bee said handing Sunny over to Rave. "He got spooked really badly"
"Really? Can you tell me who or what seemed to spook him?" Rave asked, as Bee told about the creepy bot he had been walking with, describing the same one that seemed to be stalking Grunt.
"Little one started bawling and he left, I was just trying to figure out who I needed to return him to when you arrived" Bee said. Rave was not happy, but he hid that from Bee. Rave thanked Bee for finding the little one and soon headed back to his quarters, after comming Sides. Rave needed to watch this bot, as Sunny was not one to react for no reason. Sunny was still scared and he buried his little head into Rave's chest making little whimpering sounds.
"You safe, Sunny. I won't let that bot hurt you" Rave stated, not knowing that bot was the one who hurt Sunny before. Sunny knew that bot but there was no way he could tell Rave that, that was who had killed him. Simply because he was a sparkling and couldn't talk at the moment. Rave held the little one close, still sensing a fear about him.
Sides returned and went straight to Raves side and rubbed his brother's helm gently. "What happened to him, I can feel his fear." Rave told his mate exactly what Bee had told him. Needless to say neither Rave nor sides were very happy with what they had learned.
"We have to do something about this bot, I can feel it. He will end up hurting or killing someone" Sides said and had no idea how right he was.
"Maybe we should go talk to Mirage, as he said something about needing more evidence for something" Rave stated as Sunny curled tightly into the seeker. Sides nodded in agreement and so with Rave carrying Sunny they went to go see Mirage.
"How can I help you three?" Mirage asked, gently rubbing Sunny's helm.
Sides and Rave told Mirage why they had come and what Bee had told them. "Sunny was frightened of this bot and he doesn't scare easily"
"I have an idea – let's go to Soundwave and Perceptor and see if they can get memories from his spark and processor. It may be the key we need" Mirage stated. They nodded and headed to see Soundwave and Perceptor in the lab the two shared. They were more than a bit surprised by what they were told but they said it was worth a try. Soundwave linked with Sunny while Perceptor did what he needed to do. Soundwave searched what he could and was disturbed by what he found. All were disturbed as, while Sunny was out, all five watched and saw what memories had been planted in Sunny's processor by Sunny's spark. This was the final piece of evidence that Mirage needed to convince his son to terminate this sadistic bot. "Can we record this?" Mirage asked. Perceptor nodded and with Soundwave's help they got the memories copied and Soundwave gave Mirage a copy of the memories, and out of habit made a backup copy and didn't tell anyone he had it. Sides and Rave were sickened and horrified by what they had seen in those memories especially the last ones. Sunny knowing he was dying, the sparking and his final rape and murder.
With copy in hand, Mirage ran back to his room, and gathered all the other evidence he had, which was extensive to the point even Rave and Sides were shocked. Mirage had Rave, Sunny, and Sides join him as they went to go present the evidence to Peacekeeper, the Prime. "Prime, may we have a few minutes of your time" Mirage asked. Rave, Sunny and Sides just a short distance behind Mirage. Keeper nodded.
"I have enough evidence to persecute that one bot. This sparkling you see before you is Sunny. Both First Aid and Ratchet had proven it by scanning the little one's code. This disc you see here contains a copy of his memories from when he was an adult, and this was captured by Soundwave and Perceptor. And here is other evidence I have gathered" Mirage showed it all, and then waited to see what Keeper would do.
Keeper reviewed the evidence very carefully, by Cybertronian law it was enough. "Guards fetch this bot and bring him before me" Blueflair and Freedom ran and grabbed the accused bot, who was still cocky and arrogant – as he believed he would never get caught, as after all, Sunny was dead and couldn't recognize him. Oh but Sunny did and bawled when he saw the evil bot. Keeper presented to the bot the evidence of his crimes. "You have hurt your last transformer"
"You can't prove anything" said Dirt Devil. And that was when Keeper showed the bot the memories that had been gathered from the tiny sparkling. Dirt Devil couldn't say anything as he saw what happened from the view of the bot he had raped and killed.
"For your crimes, you will be sentenced to death, as I don't tolerate murder and I don't tolerate rape. And with all the evidence gathered, there is no need for a jury to see this, as it is too gruesome" stated keeper, who quickly removed the bot's poisoned spark and allowed it to float free to be judged by Primus, as Keeper was never one to crush a spark. Freedom and Blueflair were asked to remove the "scrap metal." Once the 'scrap metal' had been removed Keeper went to his mother and gave him a hug before going to the crying Sunny. "It's alright now, he will never hurt you again" Keeper soothed. "I want to thank you for bringing this evidence to me" Keeper said mainly to his mother. Sunny cooed as he was held in Keeper's arms. Rave and Sides were surprised at just how much evidence Mirage had collected on the bot. Mirage just smiled, as he knew it would come in handy someday.
"Having lived with Optimus as long as I have, I knew that it would require a lot of evidence before anything could be done. I am just glad I had enough evidence to prevent this terrible bot from doing anything to anyone else" Mirage stated, making sure to treat his son as the Prime.
"I'm glad you were able to get the evidence mom truly" keeper said."I knew the bot was trouble"
"I just wish I could have gotten it before this all happened to Sunny. Oh, and by the way, the little sparkling you are holding, is Sunny, as Primus sent his spark back to us" Mirage stated, surprising Keeper.
"Really? Wow"
"But Mirage Sunny was dying anyway and at least this way he has a second chance" Rave said.
'But even if he was dying, that doesn't give another bot the right to rape and kill him. But that is neither here nor there now, as the evil bot is gone and Sunny has a new chance. Thank you, Prime" Mirage stated. Mirage wondered how Keeper was doing since Elita had passed on, but he dare not ask, especially in front of other bots.
Keeper seemed to know though and once Sunny was completely calm he handed Sunny over.
"I need to speak to Mirage privately please" Rave nodded and soon took Sunny out and Sides followed.
"You wanted to see me, Keeper?" Mirage asked not as a soldier but as a mother.
Keeper walked over to his mother and hugged him placing his head on his mothers shoulder despite the height difference. "I miss her mom" keeper said softly. "She told me if I ever found another bot who caught my spark it was okay, she released me"
Mirage hugged his son. "We're here, if you want to talk. Optimus and I can listen. And maybe just maybe you will find a new sparkmate. Elita would want you to be happy, as would your babies" Mirage said.
Keeper nodded. "How's dad doing I haven't seen him in a while" Keeper asked.
"He's doing just fine, just keeping a low profile since he named you as Prime" Mirage stated.
Keeper didn't like thinking back on that moment not so much that he was named prime, but that his father had died. "I want to see him more mama, he seems different now ever since he was brought back from the well"
"Come with me, baby, and we'll go see your father together. Keep in mind, he is old, and one of the oldest bots left online" Mirage said to his son.
Keeper nodded. "Yes mama, it's so hard though seeing Bots that watched us grow if they didn't die in battle, age is catching up to them. I overheard Ratchet telling Aid, Ironhide doesn't have too much longer. And grandma's visor isn't working like it should"
"That's what happens, Keeper, we all grow older, and one day our lives will end and it will be up to you and your generation to make sure the next generation is safe and sound as well as they appreciate what our generation did for them. But for now, let's go see your dad, as he is in a good mood today" stated Mirage. Keeper nodded and followed his mother to his parent's apartment. Optimus was laying on the couch reading a datapad a cube of warm energon on the table beside him.
When Optimus saw his son, he immediately got up and saluted Keeper, as even Optimus knew that a prime was to be respected at all times. Mirage stood by his mate's side, to make sure Optimus was steady. "Dad you don't have to salute me" Keeper said coming over and hugging his father who returned the hug.
"If you wish son, then I won't at least in private" Optimus said.
"Keeper wanted to see you, beloved" Mirage said, enjoying the smaller, quiet quarters that he now shared with his mate.
"Oh? What did you want to see me about, son?" Optimus asked. "And have you seen Sunny, he is absolutely adorable?"
"I have he is adorable, and I dealt with his attacker and murderer today..." Keeper said and Optimus rubbed his sons back. "I let his spark go and had his body disposed of"
"I know you only did that because you had enough evidence" Optimus said. "Now what else is bothering you son?"
Mirage piped up, "I think it is his long lost sparkmate as well as you, my beloved"
"Oh? I know that you will be alright, my son. If it is meant to be you will find someone else. And don't worry so much about me" Optimus said with a smile, his battlemask long since gone.
"But dad" Keeper started to say.
"No son it's okay there are some days I'm not one hundred percent, but I've got time left and you can always come to us anytime"
"If you say so, sir" Keeper stated, still adjusting to being Prime instead of his father.
"Son, I am no longer a sir. I am merely another soldier, try to remember that – You are the prime now" Optimus stated.
Meanwhile, Sunny was snuggling with Sides, trying to keep warm and waiting for Rave to return, as Rave had gone off to run a quick errand. Sides held his brother close and commed Rave telling him to bring a thermal blanket back with him because Sunny kept freezing. "We're gonna get you a blanket brother, until then I'll keep you warm." Rave soon returned with everything he had sought to bring, including a thermal blanket. Sunny practically jumped out of his brother's arms to get to Rave. Sides smiled as he had never seen Sunny take so much to their mate. IT was adorable and long overdue.
Rave laughed and held Sunny close after wrapping him up in the blanket. "There we go, now you'll be nice and warm" He said and nuzzled Sunny and kissed his little helm. Sunny clicked and chirped in response.
"I wonder if he remembers us as anything other than his now parents" Rave stated, wishing Sunny knew more than he let on.
"He probably does, but has no way to really let us know but it doesn't matter either way. Someday he'll remember or he'll be the bot I always knew he could have been" Sides said and got a bottle after putting things away that Rave brought.
About a week later, Sunny grew sharply, growing much faster than a normal sparkling, then again he wasn't really a normal sparkling at all. Now he could walk, talk and run, and the first person he ran to was Rave. "Up!" The little sparkling said, shocking Rave.
"Up" Sunny said again raising his arms up and Rave picked him.
"Sunny?" Rave said still in shock.
"Me Sunny, you Rave" little Sunny stated, giggling as he did it. Rave tried not to drop the little one, shocked at how fast the little one had grown.
"That's right, Sunny, that's Rave and you're Sunny" Sides said coming over smiling. "And now I've got something for you"
"What have? What have?" cried the ever eager Sunny, showing an enthusiasm Rave had never seen and Sides had watched die long ago.
Sides pulled out some art supplies he had just picked up. "For you Sunny"
"For me?" Sunny asked, as Rave gently set the squirming sparkling down on the ground. Rave watched as Sunny was filled with awe and wonder as Sides handed him the tools. It was truly a good day.
"All for you" Sides said smiling. "Why don't you give them a try?"
Sunny began to paint, and the first thing he painted surprised the two older bots, as it showed Rave, sides, and Sunny in a big hug – but Sunny wasn't little – he was big. It was then that Sides and Rave knew Sunny knew more than he let on, as he wasn't able to communicate as well. Rave had to laugh as just as much paint had gotten on the sparkling Sunny as had gotten on the canvas. Sides laughed as well and when Sunny was done painting for the moment Sides and Rave gave Sunny a bath and got him all clean. After Sunny was clean and had his energon he laid down for a nap. Sides wrapped his arms around Rave as they looked at the painting. "What you saw just a short time ago, my love, that is the real Sunny that I watched die bit by bit"
'What can I do to make sure that this doesn't die out?" Rave asked, not wanting to lose what he had just seen in the loving little sparkling.
"Encourage him, that's what our creators never did they always were cruel not physical but verbal and that was worse" Sides said. "Never let him give up, urge him to keep going"
"If that is what we need to do, I will do it in a heartbeat, as I want the Sunny I never saw until now" Rave stated, a tear in his optic.
"I don't want to lose that Sunny again, I couldn't bear to watch him die bit by bit again" Sides said wiping the tear in Rave's optics away.
"I will do everything in my power to make sure you don't have to watch that again and I don't have to see it ever." Rave stated, kissing his mate Sides deeply.
Sides moaned into the kiss. "I need you...please Rave...give it to me"
"Oh I will give it to you alright, you youngling" Rave stated as his old form creaked slightly as they headed for the berth room.
Sides could hardly wait and had opened by the time Rave had him on the berth. "I need you..." He said and made note to give Rave a hot oil Massage later. Rave smiled and began to ravish his mate, bringing Sides to an untold amount of overloads, neither bot realizing Sunny could feel them, and was enjoying them as well, as his spark was still connected to theirs. Sunny of course was too young for thoughts of interfacing but the warmth and love he felt relaxed him and he slept peacefully. A few hours later he was up from his nap and played with his paints again.
Unfortunately, this time instead of staying on the canvas, Sunny decided to paint the quarters, which left a shocking sight for when Sides and Rave emerged. Rave wanted to get angry but remembering what Sides had said Rave tried another approach. "Sunny, can you tell me why you painted the quarters when we told you the paints were to only be used on the canvas?"Rave asked, with kindness and love in his voice, but also a hint of teaching.
Sunny shrugged. "Cause the walls wanted color" Sunny said in response to the kind voice. Sides watched from the background, he hoped Rave didn't lose it as he remembered this had happened long ago.
"Sunny, I realize that the walls needed color. How about we find a color to paint the walls together and then after that, paint remains only on the canvas. How does that sound? Does that sound like a deal?" Rave asked, surprising the hell out of Sides, who would have never thought of that.
Sunny thought it over and finally nodded. "Deal" He said then raised his arms. "Up." Rave scooped the little bot up and then both went to find a color to paint the quarters while sides made sure to do something special for Rave, as he was impressed with how Rave had handled the situation. With the two occupied Sides ran and got the right oil he wanted and hid it in their quarters and prepared energon for Rave and Sunny to have when they finished painting.
Soon enough, Rave and Sunny returned and painted the quarters, especially Sunny's room. After 8 solid hours, they were both tired but satisfied. "Well done, Sunny. Now remember, now that the walls have color, the paint stays on the canvas" Rave stated, in a calm loving voice as he hugged the little bot.
"Okay" Sunny said and Sides came over and made sure both got enough energon.
"Sunny, it's almost bed time let's get you cleaned up" Sides said.
Rave's joints creaked and squeaked a bit louder as he got up from sitting down and helped get Sunny ready for bed. And once the sparkling was asleep, Rave walked out to the main room, squeaking and creaking as he headed to rest on the couch. "Man I must be getting old" he said to himself.
"Nonsense your just seasoned, now lay down my love I have a treat for you since you handled the situation earlier" Sides said and got the warmed oil.
"Easy for you to say, as you haven't been around since before the last war" Rave said as he did what was asked of him, unsure of what Sides had planned. "I hope I handled the situation ok, as I didn't want to yell at the poor sparkling."
"You did very well" Sides said and started to give Rave a slow hot oil massage.
"Mmmm" was all Rave could say as he felt the hot oil soothe the pain in his achy joints. But as sides continued, Rave found himself getting horny. He didn't plan to, it just happened. 'Thank you, and do you have any idea what you are doing to me-e-e?" Rave asked, pleasure obvious in his voice.
"Making you relax and I hope feeling pleasure" Sides said as he continued to rub now and then kissing Rave softly. "I need you to flip over now love." Rave flipped over, completely unaware that his stiff spike was showing, standing proudly before his mate, letting Sides know that what he was doing was having the desired effect.
Meanwhile, in Mirage and Optimus's room, Optimus was having a not so good day, and Mirage was feeding his mate slowly and gently while trying to avoid the grouchy bot's mood swings. Optimus felt so slagging useless as Mirage had to feed him because he had no control over his hands today. "Take it easy, beloved, you are not the same bot you used to be" Mirage stated, "But no matter what I will always love you"
Optimus sighed, he knew Mirage was right. "I know but I feel so useless some days, and I love you too"
"You are not useless, my love. After all, you still are wise, have lots of advice, as well as patience. And just because your body fails you every so often does not mean that you are any less of a bot' Mirage stated, finishing the feeding and starting the cleaning and bathing of his mate, which made Optimus feel much better.
Optimus relaxed as Mirage washed him. "After all this time I still wonder how I was lucky enough to get you as my mate"
"Primus destined for us to be together, my beloved, now let me clean…' And with that Mirage cleaned Optimus's sensitive zone before finishing up. "Now you look like brand new, all shiny" Mirage said as he had cleaned Optimus with a cleanser that would leave his body with a like new shine.
"New shine for an old bot huh?" Optimus asked before he kissed Mirage. "Thank you beloved, for putting up with me all these years"
'Would you expect anything less, my beloved? And, you put up with me as well all these years, even the times when I almost drove you out of your processor – and yet you still stuck by me. That is love, my sweet spark, and though we may not be able to interface like we used to, there are still ways we can show love to each other, and that is what I try to do, especially on your down days" Mirage stated, before kissing his mate back with equal passion.
"I wish I could love you even just once like we used to" Optimus said and gently caressed his mates face.
"Just by showing me love is enough, my beloved. We don't require interfacing to show each other love, and that is what matters, that we realize even in the simple pleasures, the simple things that we do for each other, that shows love. I love you with all my spark and that will never change" Mirage stated as he nuzzled into his mate.
Optimus nuzzled back and kissed Mirage softly. "You are beautiful beloved and I am truly lucky to have you"
"The feeling is mutual" Mirage stated, nuzzling his mate back.
Optimus just softly kissed his mate and caressed him gently. "I am glad of something, my love."
'What is that, my beloved' as Mirage nuzzled more into his mate and rubbed zones once erotic now just soothing to the touch.
"Though it pained you I'm glad you did not follow me when I offlined" Optimus said leaning into the soft touch.
"You can thank Jazz, Wingspan, Hotrod, Prowl and our babies for that one, as I wanted to join you so bad" Mirage stated, finally letting on how he truly had survived. "Especially Silverflair"
"I know you wanted to join me but I knew you were still needed" Optimus said.
"I don't think you would have been able to come back to us had I followed you, my dear" Mirage stated, enjoying the fact that now he had what seemed like all the time in the world to spend with his mate, as his mate was no longer the Prime.
"I believe you are right, Primus told me I still had more to do, still not completely sure what that is though"
"Well, whatever it is, I am just glad to have you once again my beloved. And with that, Mirage began to use his tongue on Optimus's groin plating. Mirage figured that while they couldn't be as young and wild as they had been years ago during the war, but they at least could have it once or twice a week as a special thing between them.
Optimus moaned feeling that warm tongue on his plating. "Oh beloved ..." Optimus moaned. Mirage continued his ministrations, long and slow, knowing that neither were up for a "quickie." "I love you" Optimus moaned as Mirage slowly worked him up. It still felt so good.
"I love you too, beloved" Mirage said in between ministrations, and also removing his own paneling, revealing his own hard on to his mate.
Optimus reached out and started to gently tease Mirage. "So beautiful." Mirage moaned and continued his ministrations, enjoying the time with his mate.
"Do what you will with me my love" Optimus breathed. Mirage continued some more, and soon Optimus was gently overloading, and Mirage was happy even though he had yet to overload. After all, this was for Optimus's pleasure not his. Optimus panted softly and caressed Mirages face. "I want to do something for you." Mirage just looked, unsure of what his mate had on that processor of his, as after all this time, Optimus still managed to surprise his mate. "Just bear with me" Optimus said and eased Mirage onto his back before he brought out a cable. "Do you trust me my love?" Mirage nodded, shivering in anticipation of what his mate had planned. He just hoped that whatever it was, it wasn't too much for Optimus's spark or body to handle. Optimus gently connected them and he sent to Mirage feelings of pleasure. Mirage moaned at the powerful connection, as it had been a full month since they had last connected, as they didn't want to wear each other out. And as Optimus sent pleasure, Mirage soon overloaded as well and the two soon fell into recharge.
In Rave and Side's quarters, Sunny was painting on the canvas while Rave was on duty. Sides had been left to watch over his twin and was amazed at how well Rave's plan had worked about painting the quarters, as little Sunny made sure his paints stayed only on the canvas now. "It's looking wonderful Sunny" Sides said looking at what his brother was painting.
'Thanks, 'ide" Sunny said, proud of what he had done.
"Would you like some energon Sunny" Sides asked his brother. "Warmed just slightly"
"Uh huh" Sunny stated, a big drop of paint dripping down his chassis, though Sunny didn't seem to care.
Sides smiled and gently got the bit of paint off. "There, why don't you clean up and I'll get your energon"
"O-tay" Sunny stated, racing off to clean the drop off, leaving Sides to see what Sunny had painted. Sides was struck as odd as the picture looked familiar yet it didn't. It was almost the same as the one Sunny had painted of the family, the only difference now was the bots were grown, and while Sunny, Sides, and the twin femmes were in the picture, Rave and Flightrisk had been placed over the four in flight mode, as if it was those two who kept the four safe. Sides couldn't help but smile. He moved away from it and when Sunny came back Sides sat down with his brother on his lap and helped him hold the energon cube. It was just the way Sunny always liked it. Sunny quickly yet carefully consumed the energon before going back to work on his painting. He accidentally dropped some paint on the floor and was about to cry when Rave came in, and having seen the accident, knew how to handle it.
"Calm down, little one. It was an accident, and accidents happen. I am not mad, but let's learn from this, what do you think could help next time?" Rave asked in a warm, loving voice.
"Place old datapads on floor?" Sunny asked, to which Rave nodded before hugging the little one, ensuring that Sunny stayed the loving bot they wanted him to be.
Sides smiled and got some rags and helped Sunny clean up the paint while Rave found some old datapads. "Here we go, sweet" Rave said and kissed Sunny's helm. Sunny went right back to painting while Rave went to go relax a bit and sat on the couch. Sides was impressed, for he knew seekers could be reactive as all get out, yet Rave was not acting like the typical seeker, and Sides was soon realizing there was more to his mate than met the eye. Sides went to Rave and kissed him softly as they settled and just watched Sunny paint, this was something Sides had missed so much. Just watching his brother create. "He will be quite the artist when he grows up" stated Rave, "and he will hopefully be able to love."
"I hope so too, and from what I've seen so far these key moments are where our creators did what they did. But you, my love, have changed those moments for the better" Sides said. Just then Sunny came in, covered from head to toe in paint, proudly displaying the piece Sides had seen earlier. Sunny was dripping paint everywhere, and while Sides was nervous, Rave showed just how good he really was.
'That is beautiful, Sunny and it is really well done. But I have a question for you – how did you get paint all over yourself?" Rave asked, not yelling but in a calm loving voice.
"I wanted to be colorful too" Sunny said giggling.
"I understand that, and I can appreciate the idea behind it, but what did we say about where the paint stays, my little one?" Rave stated, still in the calm loving voice, causing little Sunny to think about what they had talked about after painting the walls.
"Oops, sorry" Sunny said looking bashful.
'It's ok, little one, let's get you cleaned off. But next time you try to do this, we will take the paints away for 10 minutes. We don't want you to stop painting, little one, but we do want you to make sure you paint where it is appropriate. Do we have an understanding?" Rave asked, making Sides nervous, but Sides was relieved when Sunny nodded and then smiled at Rave, giving the seeker a big hug and covering the seeker in paint. 'I guess we both need a shower now, don't we, my little one" Rave said with love and affection as well as a smile in his voice.
Sunny giggled and couldn't help but spread more paint on Rave. "Uh huh"
"Sunny – I am giving you one warning. Now let's get cleaned off and get you to bed. If you are good, I will read you your favorite story" Rave stated, hoping Sunny would get the point. Sunny pouted but nodded and let Rave give him a bath. Sunny was good, and he was still surprised as Rave did not go back on his word, but read Sunny's favorite story to him, and soon the little bot was happily asleep in recharge.
"I was worried for a bit there my love" Sides said once Sunny was sound asleep.
'what were you worried about, my love?" Rave asked, hoping he hadn't done anything wrong.
"I was worried that you would react badly" Sides said.
"I was worried that I would be too mean to him. I hope I wasn't, even with letting him know that next time there would be consequences if he didn't follow directions" Rave stated, revealing he had been worried as well.
"All things considered my love, I think you're doing very well" Sides said kissing Rave softly.
"thanks love" Rave stated to his mate as the two kissed.
Meanwhile, in Blade's room, Grunt was lost in pleasure. Blade seemed to know him inside and out even though they had never met until recently. Grunt moaned and begged as he clung to Blades riding the waves of pleasure moving through him. "Oh yeah, so tight baby, so tight" Blade mumbled as he used his stiff spike to interface with Grunt, sending pleasure through both of them.
"Nnnn..." Was all Grunt could manage as he clung to Blade.
"show me that beautiful spark, baby" Blade stated as he continued thrusting. Grunt moaned and opened his chest plates letting Blade see his spark. Blade smiled as he revealed his own spark. 'are you ready to become one, my love?" Blade asked as he slowly lowered his open chest towards Grunt's open chest.
Grunt was nervous but he nodded as the other spark moved closer to his. "Yes..." And with the answer, Blade bent over further slowly, bringing the sparks closer and closer. Both could feel the pull as their sparks longed for each other, and as soon as the sparks connected, sparks flew, literally, causing both to become caught up in their mutual pleasure. And as the two took a long overload, neither knew that Grunt was now carrying sparklings in addition to being Blade's mate. Grunt trembled as overload moved through him he couldn't believe the pleasure he was feeling. He couldn't even form coherent thought he was so pleasure shot. Blade left his spike buried within his now unknowingly sparked mate, as Grunt's chute refused to let the slowly depressurizing twitching metal go just yet. Grunt smiled, as this was better than he ever thought, and he was glad he had waited.
"I never knew it could be so good"
"Me neither, my love" Blade stated as he waited for grunt's chute to let his cable out.
A short time later Grunts chute released his mates. "I still have to tell my parents"
"Can we have one more session before we go find them, my love?" Blade asked, still horny. Grunt smiled nodding and was happy to go another round.
Elsewhere, Sunny woke up, full of energy and ready to go. He remembered the lessons he learned the day before. Sunny, having his old memories also could remember how his former creators had acted during the exact same time. Sunny was impressed just how well the seeker had handled everything, and the little sparkling decided he was going to try and do something special for the seeker. Sunny got a new canvas and started to paint. He took his time as he wanted this done right, when he finished he went and woke Rave up. Rave slowly woke up, he had a bit of a crick in his back, but when he saw it was Sunny, he smiled despite the pain. "Morning, sport. What brings you in here, little one?" Rave asked, gently rubbing Sunny's head, another change from what Sunny had been used to in his previous lifetime's childhood.
"Come see" Sunny said and gently tugged on Raves hand. He wanted to give Rave the painting, it was going to be both of them together and Sunny was big again. Rave followed the eager sparkling, curious as to what he would find. It didn't take too long before Sunny had led Rave right to where the sparkling wanted the seeker to be. Sunny went and uncovered the painting and there before Rave was himself and a grown up Sunny kissing him.
Rave was very surprised, but then a wide grin broke out on his face and he scooped up the sparkling and kissed him. "You remember me, don't you, my little one" Rave asked.
Sunny nodded. "It's all here" Sunny said pointing to his processor. He was smiling seeing Rave smile.
"I hope that scene comes true sooner rather than later, my precious little one" Rave said as he lavished love and attention on the sparkling.
Sunny purred and snuggled in Raves arms. "Not big yet"
"I know, my little one, but hopefully before primus calls my spark back will I get to love you as you should be loved" Rave stated, smiling.
Sunny clung to Rave. "Rave no go" Sunny said he couldn't lose Rave.
"I don't plan on leaving you for a while, my lovely little one' Rave stated as he hugged and kissed the little sparkling.
A week later, and Sunny had grown more. Rave and Sides had realized a while ago that this sparklinghood and younglinghood would be different, and were pleasantly surprised when they saw that Sunny had grown older. They had figured it out that the older he got, the slower he would change until he became an adult and would grow then like a normal transformer. Sunny was a bit taller now, and his whole attitude was different then what it had been before. But he was soon going to be old enough where interfacing would be on his processor a lot.
'hey sport, how ya doing?" Rave asked as Sunny was painting one of his paintings. Sides watched, wondering how his brother would act, as Sunny never liked being interrupted when he was painting. Sunny didn't even acknowledge Rave partially because he had his audios off. Rave looked carefully and noticed that Sunny was busy concentrating and then left. He figured Sunny could come find him when Sunny was ready. Sides relaxed, glad that a catastrophe had been avoided.
Sides went and cuddled with Rave. "Thank you for not interrupting him"
"Is that something your creators did to him when he would try to escape reality by painting?" Rave asked.
Sides nodded. "There were times they would go so far as to destroy what he was working on"
Rave shook his head, as that was just plain cruel. "well, when he is done, I have a surprise for him" Rave said as he showed Sides more paint for Sunny, colors that Sunny needed more of, as well as more canvas for Sunny to paint on.
Sides smiled. "He will love it, thank you my love for giving him the love our creators never did"
"I just hope he will stay the loving bot that I now know he can be" Rave stated as he still felt the pain of all the times Sunny used to shove him away. He tried hiding it, and usually did pretty well, but this time, Sides felt it.
Sides took Raves hand. "I know how you feel, I watched this Sunny die bit by bit because of our creators. I watched them destroy a kind and gentle bot and turn him into a bitter bot who didn't know how to love"
"Do you think when he gets to be old enough, he will choose to love us?" Rave asked, wanting it so bad that even Sides could feel it.
"I think so, but we must let him come to us." Rave nodded, hoping it was true.
Elsewhere, Keeper was having trouble getting through a rough time, as it was Elita's sparking day, and Keeper was sad. He had his and her sparklings gathered around him, but it didn't seem to help as much as he had hoped. "Daddy, why don't we all go for a drive?" One of the children suggested.
'Sure" Keeper stated, as anything was better than sitting in the quarters and remembering a loving mate who was no longer online. They smiled and dragged their father and Prime out for a drive, granted they missed their mother too but they weren't about to let their father mope. They all headed out for a drive when they passed a mech in alt mode who was having trouble. Keeper noticed instantly, and much like his father, went over to see if he could help out the strange mech. Keeper had no idea that he had a reputation of being a quiet hidden Prime that bots were in absolute awe of. "Do you need any help?" Keeper asked.
"Yeah that would be great, I blew an axle" The mech said. His name was Kit, and though you wouldn't know it once he was in his robot form, he was a former pleasure bot.
"how can I best help you" Keeper asked without introducing himself, as he didn't want to scare off the poor bot. 'As I know a little bit about fixing axels"
Kit told the mystery bot where the axel was damaged. "If I could transform I would walk home, but I can't get out of alt mode. So whatever you can do to help would be great." Keeper looked at the damage, and was quickly able to repair the damage, leaving the stranded bot feeling better and allowing the bot to transform, and it surprised him when he saw a large bot with a mask on waiting to see how he was doing.
"Uh, thanks" Kit said. "Names Kit" He said once he was back in robot form.
"I'm Keeper" Peacekeeper stated, a name he used only among family or when he wanted to hide who he really was.
"Thanks Keeper" Kit said having no idea he was talking to the Prime. "It would have taken me hours to get home if you hadn't come by" He said and tried to ignore the pulsing of his spark.
"Not a problem, my friend, would you care to have a ride to base, as it is a long way off" Keeper offered, trying hard to ignore the own fluttering in his own spark.
"Um...okay sure" Kit said thinking that was the opposite direction he was needing to go but he did feel drawn to this bot. He just hoped he didn't run into any bots who knew what he was, no what he used to be.
What Kit didn't know was that this bot was taking him to a base that knew nothing about Kit's past. It was a different base, set far from the others and one that was well protected. And it was only once Keeper let his passenger out that Kit realized he was in a base he had never been in before. 'Sorry for the bumpy ride, but semis don't tend to have the best shocks at times" Keeper said humbly.
"Its fine...where are we I don't know this place" Kit asked.
"It is the safest base there is, and is known as the base of the Prime" Keeper stated.
Kit was slightly apprehensive when he heard that last part. "Base of the Prime..."
"Yes, this is where the most capable femmes and mechs work as well as a few others to make sure the Prime stays safe. This is the prime's headquarters. Don't worry, everyone here is trained to be as pleasant as possible, even former Cons" stated keeper, happy to tell the tale. 'It was built by the previous Prime before he died and another bot was named Prime."
"I can't imagine the likes of me will be welcome here" Kit said realizing this bot must be an important mech to be here.
"All are welcome" Keeper stated, "but only the bots the Prime selects may stay and call this home"
Kit knew there was a slight chance he would know some of these bots, but somehow he doubted it. "I see...um I probably really shouldn't stay long"
"I think before you go anywhere, you should have Ratchet, Kryptonight, First Aid, or Fader look at you systems" Keeper stated, flooring Kit as he had only heard of most of those bots in legends and tales.
"You mean... their real? I've only ever heard stories about them"
"They are…let me see who is in the med bay today….oh, you are in luck, it's Ratchet" Keeper said as he brought his new friend to the med bay.
Kit was still floored as Keeper took him to the med bay and a few minutes later Ratchet appeared. "What have you done this time Keeper"
"It is not for me, Ratchet, it is for my friend here, Kit. He had broken down out in the desert. I repaired him enough to allow him to transform, but I think you should look him over, make sure everything is functional" Keeper stated, giving the medic a glare, and that was when Ratchet understood that this new bot had no idea Keeper was the Prime and Keeper wanted it to stay that way for now. And soon, Keeper left Kit with Ratchet.
"Alright on the berth" Ratchet told Kit who did as told as the medic's reputation was legendary.
Ratchet scanned and got to work fixing Kit the rest of the way. "Alright you're all patched up"
"Can I go?" Kit asked nervous.
"Not yet, I want those patches to stick, a few more hours in the med bay and then I can let you wander around the base. I can't let you leave the base as we are in lockdown mode, as it is near the Prime's sparking day" Ratchet stated.
"You mean...I'm stuck here? For how long?" Kit asked, he didn't like being trapped anywhere.
"about 4-5 days tops" Ratchet stated, noticing Keeper entering the med bay. Ratchet felt the difference in the bot, but Ratchet said nothing.
"4-5 days! No, please I can't stay for that long" Kit said sounding almost desperate. "There has to be some way I can be let go"
"I'm afraid there is no way out of lockdown, Kit" Keeper stated, causing the mech to feel warm, pleasant feelings amongst the stress. Kit wanted to focus on those warm feelings he was suddenly feeling but he couldn't, his processor kept going back to the last base he had been trapped on. Keeper had tried to find a place to keep the new bot, but unfortunately, the only place open was an extra room in his quarters. Keeper was thankful that like his father, he tried to live simply and nothing gave him away as being Prime even in his quarters. "I am sorry that you have to stay, and the only place I could find open was a spare berth room in my quarters, I hope you don't mind, Kit."
Given his history Kit was leery but he was still newly out of the game, and was afraid he slip back into the habit. He nodded and spoke calm despite his thoughts. "It's fine"
A few hours later, Kit was released and Keeper helped escort Kit to his humble quarters. No one said anything, and Kit found it strange that he got no angry or hateful looks from any of the bots that they ran past. And then Kit got the shock of his life, as he and Keeper passed Optimus and Mirage in the hall. Keeper had talked to them and let them know not to tell his new friend that he was the Prime, and so when they met, Optimus acted like the Prime he used to be. Mirage was happy to see his mate act like he used, even if they both knew it was no longer like that. Mirage and Optimus even knew that Keeper wanted to make sure it looked like he was merely Optimus's body guard as he didn't want Kit to figure things out just yet.
Kit stuttered when Optimus addressed him and he did his best to answer. So much for his golden glossa that could charm any bot and make them putty in his servos. He had no idea he was speaking to the former prime, he was still attempting to speak to a prime. "there is no need to be nervous, Kit, we are all transformers, and we all work together to make things function and rebuild since the war ended" Optimus stated.
"B..but you're prime..." Kit managed to get out and when he heard the part about they all helped with the rebuilding, Kit muttered something that sounded like it's not what I did.
"But being Prime doesn't mean one is restricted from helping, it just means that you make the decisions. I have always taught all bots that I work with that it is important to work together to achieve goals that we set" Optimus stated, to which Keeper nodded, though Kit didn't notice Keeper's nod. Kit figured it made sense and after they got 'permission' they left and Keeper took Kit to his quarters. Kit was still reeling.
Once in the quarters, Keeper spoke. "There is no need to be nervous, Optimus is a kind and gentle bot who doesn't take advantage of anybody in any way. I know as I have been his bodyguard for years." This in itself was the truth as Keeper had been his father's bodyguard before being named Prime.
"It's just...this is too much for me to handle, I'm a simple mech and I've met Bots today who are only legends" Kit said
'remember, they are just bots just like you are' stated Keeper.
"For you maybe, but for bots like me...they are what one can only dream about" kit said.
Later on, as it was time to rest, Kit found himself cold and afraid and went to find Keeper, who was recharging on a very large berth. Keeper asked his friend, 'is there something I can help you with?" Kit was nervous, but the cold feeling he felt compelled him to ask something he hadn't planned on asking.
"I...that is...could I uh...share your berth...I'm freezing" Kit asked embarrassed.
Keeper smiled, his own spark pulsing out of control, but he answered and acted very calm. 'Certainly my friend, come' Keeper stated, and made space for the smaller bot. Kit was surprised, as Keeper was so open with him, and Keeper didn't even ask for anything further.
Kit got on the berth and snuggled against Keepers warmth. "Thank you..." Keeper snuggled up with his friend to keep the smaller bot warm and soon fell asleep. Kit was surprised not only by the warmth but by just how safe he felt near this bot he hardly knew. Kit didn't know how he had earned this opportunity, but he was going to make sure he did nothing to ruin it. the two slept through the night.
In the morning, keeper got up early to go to his and his twin's birthday celebration, and had the small celebration, before things went back to normal and he returned to the room, just as Kit was waking. "I trust you had a pleasant rest, my friend?" Keeper asked.
Kit nodded surprised by that actually. "I did, thank you" Kit said. "Sorry I had to use you to get warm"
"Don't worry about it, Kit. It felt nice to share the berth with someone, as I lost my mate a while ago, and hadn't slept well by myself since that happened" Keeper admitted.
"I'm sorry to hear that" Kit said. "I've never had a mate I've just had uh partners" He said still not telling about himself and what he had been.
'It matters not how many partners or mates one has had, what matters is love" Keeper stated, holding himself back from kissing Kit's helm. There was something about this bot that he just couldn't resist. The problem was Keeper wasn't sure if Kit would want him, after all, Keeper knew he really was the Prime.
"I've never been in love before" Kit said. "It's uh how long before I can go? I mean not that you're not good company and all but I should get back"
"two more days. But feel free to walk around the base. You aren't required to stay here in the room, as you aren't a prisoner" Keeper stated. 'now if you'll excuse, the Prime has sent for me." Kit swore silently, as he didn't want to be here any longer. It wasn't that Keeper wasn't a good host, it was that Kit feared his past would catch up with him. But feeling his spark pulse so for his friend, Kit decided there was one thing he should do – check to make sure he didn't have any viruses.
He went down to the med bay remembering the way. "Hello" He called coming into the med bay not knowing who was there.
"May I help you' Kryptonight asked, one of the medics, but Kit was startled as this bot was a seeker. It took a few minutes before Kit got his voice back, as he realized the seeker medic was being very warm and friendly, just like a medic should be.
"Yeah...I need to get checked for any possible viruses" Kit finally said.
Kryptonight nodded and moved Kit to a special area in the med bay, and then began to scan him. 'well, Kit, I need to run some antivirus on you as well as a few other things as you seem to have accumulated a few things. Don't worry, this will only take a couple of hours, and after wards, I guarantee that you will feel like a much different bot." And with that, the seeker medic started all the procedures he needed. Kit was surprised at how painless the seeker medic made it feel. Kit nodded and laid there while the scans and everything did what they had to do. He was still there when Keeper came by.
"How are you feeling now?" Keeper asked, having been unknowingly informed that his guest was in the med bay. Kit was surprised, but since he was almost done with everything, he felt much better, like he did before he started on his unchosen and forced career path. He felt like he was getting a new start.
"Uh...yes" Kit said. "How did you know I was here?" Kit wanted to truly change but he was still afraid.
"It had been reported to the Prime, and he asked me to come down here to see if you were ok" keeper stated, "as since you were my guest, he figured that it would be easier if I visited you as opposed to him."
"Um...tell him thanks" Kit said taken back by that, that someone would check on him.
"Will do, and I also wanted to tell you that the Prime has set you up with a training session, to help the time go by faster. And since Ironhide is too old, Buster will be training you" Keeper stated, flooring Kit as he realized that the Prime actually really did care about all bots, not just ones he knew.
"I...I don't know what to say" Kit said floored but also dreaded training.
"You just seem like the type who doesn't like to sit around, and when I told that to the Prime, he thought a beginning training session would at least help you forget about being trapped here by focusing your mind elsewhere" Keeper stated just as Kryptonight came in saying that all was done and everything was clear. Kit couldn't believe it, but his systems felt like new.
"Uh thanks" Kit said then looked at Keeper. "I don't know if that's a really good idea, the training"
"Is there something else you would prefer, as like I said, the base won't open up for a couple more days" Keeper asked. "You do have a choice, and if you would prefer something different to help you pass the time, just tell me and I will let the Prime know and we can work something out." Kit was once again floored, and then he heard that word – choice. He had a choice and while training may not have been something he would have done as a pleasure bot, he was now starting anew and maybe this would help him choose a new career path.
"I...I don't know I've only ever been good at one thing" Kit said choosing not to mention what that one thing was.
"I have an idea…Why don't you try just one session, and if you don't like it, we can look for something else for you to do. How does that sound" keeper stated, making Kit realize that there was no harm in at least trying. He didn't have to like it, he was being given the opportunity to try it, and seeing that the supposed bodyguard had given him so many other opportunities, he felt like he owed him to at least give this training a try.
"Okay, one session" Kit agreed. He followed Keeper to where Buster was waiting.
"Is this your friend Keeper?"
"It is this is Kit, he's agreed to try a lesson." Buster nodded, and soon Keeper left Kit with buster. Buster drove Kit hard, but Kit realized something – this actually felt good. It felt good to learn a new skill, as Buster was giving Kit the training a Prime bodyguard would receive, though Kit didn't know it.
After about 8 hours, Keeper returned, happy to see that Kit seemed to be enjoying himself. Kit didn't see Keeper come back, but Buster did, and soon called the session to a close. Kit was disappointed until he saw why it was done – as keeper had returned. "Hi...I didn't know you were back" Kit told Keeper he had been so caught up in the training he hadn't noticed.
"So how did the training go for you, Kit?" Keeper asked, eager to hear what the mech had to say. 'would you like to train some more?"
"It was fun learning something new, I think maybe I would like to continue while I'm here" Kit said.
"That can be arranged. Would you care to come to the rec room with me and get some energon, after all, you deserve it." Keeper asked, not knowing that there was going to be a jealous bot who was going to try and ruin everything between Kit and Keeper. His name was Braggart, and he lived up to his name. He knew Kit from having slept with the bot ages ago, and Braggart had always wanted to be the Prime. Kit nodded and he followed Keeper to the rec room and he didn't see Braggart at first not until.
"Well well well, if it isn't the best pleasure bot this side of Cybertron." Kit froze and was mortified as one of his former clients told on him.
"back off, Braggart, I will not have you embarrass guest in any way shape or form' stated Keeper, voicing the command in his Prime tone, that was familiar to all but Kit.
Braggart did back off for the moment but not before saying. "Enjoy your whore bot, make sure he's puts that mouth of his to use." Kit was just mortified, he knew Keeper wouldn't want anything to do with him now.
"Don't leave" Keeper stated, noticing that Kit was about to leave, "I want to get to know you better, but since we can't have privacy here, how about we grab our energon to go and talk back in my quarters. You don't have to fear me, my friend. As I learned from my father, the past is the past and while it can't be changed, the future can be." Kit was amazed. Keeper not only wanted him around, he actually wanted to get to know him. Sensing Kit's worry. "not every bot had a choice of what they were going to be. But one thing that I have learned is that everyone deserves to have a chance to start over, and make anew. The previous Prime allowed deadly cons who were sick of being Cons to become Autobots. If he can do that, the Prime now can do no less than to allow everyone a chance."
Kit nodded slowly but said. "He's right though...I'm nothing more than a whore bot" Kit said. "Its what I've been since I was barely a youngling, I fulfill every bots fantasy, I be what they want me to be. You are too good of a bot to have anything to do with me"
"But I believe you can be something else if you choose to. You remember Buster? Well he started as a sparkling working in dangerous energon mines. He worked his aft off and he worked hard. He eventually impressed Ironhide, and Ironhide took him into being an apprentice. And now Buster has taken over for Ironhide while Ironhide enjoys his last years. If you have the will, time, and patience, there is a way for you to improve your life" Keeper stated, surprising Kit, as Keeper was trying to encourage him to choose more than the lot he had had in life so far.
"no one has ever believed in me" Kit said. "All I have ever been worth is what I can do with my body. I don't have anyone" Kit said.
"I believe in you, and I am not going to let you give up so easily. In fact, tomorrow, I know the Prime has another training session planned for you with Freedom, Blueflair and Silverflair. I believe that you can be whatever you want to be, and don't let Braggart get you down. He wants to be Prime and is upset that he was passed over" Keeper stated.
"He spoke the truth about me, why would you care about someone like me" Kit asked. "I know you have said that it's because of what prime believes but why do you believe in me when it's all I can do to not be what I've always been. What type of training?"
"Ok, I see I can fool you no longer. Kit, My name is Peacekeeper, and I am the Prime. Optimus is my father and when he died and before he was rebuilt, I was named Prime. I was training you to be a bodyguard to the Prime, as I felt my spark go wild when I met you. The last time I felt that was with my previous mate, Elita One. I wanted you to be happy, but if you are not, I can order lockdown to end and let you go on your way, as I don't want to keep you where you don't want to be" keeper stated, startling the hell out of kit. This bot who he had been talking to this whole time was the Prime.
Kit found his legs didn't want to support him and he sat down. He was shocked and didn't know what to say, he couldn't find words for a time. "I...I need time...this is..." Kit managed.
"Take all the time you need. I have a meeting this afternoon, you are free to walk around the base or stay in my room or do whatever you need to. I would advise you stay away from the rec room, as Braggart tends to hang out there, but I won't stop you from going there to meet others. I hope that you will make the best decision for you. And you know something, training you to be a bodyguard for the prime is a good thing, as because you have the history you do, you know how to read bots better than most other bots out there. I hope you will consider staying, but if you wish to leave, then I will not stop you" Keeper stated, as he hurried off to a meeting, leaving Kit alone to think. Kit didn't know what to think as he ended up back in Keepers, no the primes room. He was so confused what did he want did he want to stay here? But what would he do? Be a guard? He was a coward at spark and he knew it. He had to decide what was best for him...he needed to be away from here. He needed to be somewhere familiar to him.
Keeper came back after his meeting, wondering if Kit was ok. Little did Keeper know Braggart had found his way to the Prime's room and was proceeding to rape the former pleasure bot. Keeper walked in and was completely pissed, as this was the last straw for Braggart who had been on probation for something like this before. "STOP" was enough to freeze both bots cold. Kit looked at Keeper helplessly, trying to tell him he hadn't wanted this. "If I told you once, Braggart, I told you a thousand times, don't harm my guest. And since you have disobeyed, I have no choice but to implement the punishment Sentinel Prime used to use for rapists" Keeper stated. Kit was still trembling from the whole situation, but now Braggart was trembling as he realized exactly what was on Keeper's mind. Braggart tried to beg, but Keeper called in Hook and Fader to perform the punishment.
Once Braggart was gone, Keeper gently took Kit into his arms and tried to soothe the bot. "I know you didn't want this, Kit. I wish I could have been here sooner to stop it." Keeper even got some energon and gently helped feed the weakened bot. Kit, for as scared as he was, was amazed as well, as he realized that Keeper had stronger feelings for him than he first realized and Kit started realizing the feelings were mutual.
Kit was feeling better as Keeper held him. "I...thank you" kit said and found himself touching keepers face.
"You're welcome" Keeper stated, as he retracted his mask. Old scars were visible, but to Kit they showed that even the Prime wasn't perfect, that he had his own flaws. Sure they were covered by a mask, but still, that fact alone made Kit want the bot all the more. And Kit was surprised when Keeper gently kissed him on the helm. Kit was pretty sure Keeper wasn't sure if Kit felt the same way he did, and Kit knew he needed to show that he felt as passionate for Keeper as Keeper did for him. Kit pulled Keeper's face to him and gently kissed him. He tried to show in the kiss what he felt. Keeper kissed back with equal passion as the two soon began to run their hands all over each other's bodies. And while keeper did his tracing down Kit's body, Kit realized that Keeper loved him, and this was why Primus had him go to the med bay and get a clean bill of health. Kit continued to kiss Keeper and moaned into it he wanted Keeper so much.
Keeper moaned as well. But before he went any further, he asked Kit a question or two. 'Are you sure you want this?" to which Kit nodded, and then Keeper asked Kit a question he never had been asked before, "Do you want to be my sparkmate?"
Kit was shocked but nodded. "Yes...yes I'll be your sparkmate" kit said his spark pulsing. Keeper smiled and soon revealed his spark and the matrix of leadership. Kit revealed his spark, broken and dull, but it was beautiful in Keeper's optics. And soon the two were united. And Kit felt love, for the first time ever, he felt love.
