~Bond talk~

::Comms talk::

"Regular talk"

Mirage found his beloved scout sitting against a tree, watching a herd of horses as they played in the field in front of him. Walking up to hm, Mirage sat in his lap and rested his helm on Hound's shoulder. Burying his face in Hound's neck, he moaned and curled onto his side.

"You okay, 'Raj?" Hound asked as he wrapped his arms around Mirage, pulling him close to his body.

"My Sire is forbidding me from being with you. He wants me to be with StarBlazze instead," Mirage mumbled into Hound's neck.

"Is he the one that hurt you?" Hound's voice took a fierce, protective edge as he asked the question.

"Yes, he was the first one I ever interfaced with and said that I was colder than arctic winters on Cybertron," Mirage said, curling further into Hound's warm chassis.

"I'm going to tear him apart!" hound snarled. "You're perfect, 'Raj! Everything I could ever want; and more!"

"Obviously not to 'Blazze. He despises me. I used to love him like I love you now. I don't want to go back to him," Mirage whimpered.

"Why don't you tell your Sire that? He might rethink his request," Hound suggested as he lifted Mirage's head off his shoulder

"I already tried, he doesn't believe me. He thinks that StarBlazze is the best choice for me," Mirage argued as he looked at the dapple-gray horse playing with a pure-white Thoroughbred.

"MIRAGE! WHAT DID I TELL YOU?" a rich, cultured voice snarled from the direction that Mirage came from. Mirage buried his face back into the crook of Hound's neck as the royal-purple noble mech rushed over to them.

"I don't care what you want, Sire! I love him, not StarBlazze!" Mirage cried as he lifted his head to glare at his Sire.

"Mirage, I didn't ask you to leave him; I told you to leave him. I will not tell you again! Nobles have nothing to do with commoners; EVER!" Illusion snarled, reaching for Mirage's arm to pull him off Hound.

"Have you ever thought about what 'Raj would want?" Hound spoke up while tightening his hold on his beloved spy.

"I don't remember asking you to speak, Commoner Now, let Mirage go," Illusion snapped.

"No. As far as I'm concerned, I out rank you, so don't tell me what to do," replied defensively, refusing to let go of his lover.

"Illusion, let them be! Let Mirage choose his own mate!" a beautiful, lilac femme pleaded as she stood behind a group of other nobles.

"My son will not be with a commoner, Mystyc! I refuse to let it happen! What happened to him 'Blazze, they used to love each other? Pit, 'Blazze still loves him!"

"He doesn't love me! He never did!" Mirage yelled at his Sire as he turned in Hound's arms to fully face his Sire. "I loved him until he said I was colder than arctic winters on Cybertron! How many times do I have to tell you!"

"Why are you defying me, Mirage?" Illusion asked as a handsome, deep gold noble mech walked up to his side and gazed lovingly at Mirage.

"Don't look at me like that, StarBlazze! I know it's not real! Take your slag and go somewhere else!" Mirage snarled. Hound's optics shot to the golden mech as Mirage snarled at him.

"You're the one?" Hound let go of his lover to stand up and advance on the golden mech who had hurt Mirage all those vorns ago. "Give me ten good reasons why I shouldn't rip you to the Pit?" StarBlazze backed up as the bulky scout advanced, trying to keep as much space as possible between the commoner and himself.

'What are you talking about? What have I done?" StarBlazze's voice was like sugar honey.

"You know full well what I'm talking about!" finally backing him into a tree, Hound gripped the noble's throat as Mirage backed up to the tree Hound had been leaning against when he found him.

"Stop this? What are you doing?" Illusion's surprised voice did nothing to stop Hound as he tightened his grip on StarBlazze's neck. Hound saw the purple mech advancing out of the corner of his optic and took out an energon dagger from his subspace and held it out, preventing Illusion from advancing.

"Try it again and I will personally rip your energon pump out, understand?" Hound threatened calmly, instilling complete fear in the golden noble mech. StarBlazze nodded vehemently, not wanting to be shown up by the commoner.

Hound released his neck and deactivated the dagger. Walking over to Mirage, he looked over his shoulder, daring any of the noble mechs to challenge him again. Mirage walked the rest of the way between him and Hound, wrapped his arms around the scout's waist, and rested his helm on his chest. Hound looked at Illusion pointedly before allowing Mirage to lead him away from the other noble mechs.

"Why did you put up with that for so long, 'Raj? Why didn't you stop it a long time ago?" Hound asked as he traced the armor seams along the spy's back.

"I tried, they just over power me all the time. Whenever I try, they would gang up on me and verbally beat me down," Mirage said softly. "StarBlazze just stood by and allowed it to happen and wasn't there when they were done."

"Mirage," Hound's voice was soft as he gently grabbed the spy's arm as he stopped walking. Mirage turned and faced his lover, allowing Hound to pull him to his chest. "Love, I'm so sorry you had to go through all of that. I swear, on my Spark, that I won't abandon you, ever. I promise," Hound cupped the svelte mech's face and rubbed his thumb across his cheek as he gazed lovingly at Mirage.

The blue noble leaned forward and gently pressed his lips to Hound's in a tender, soft kiss. Hound wrapped his arms around Mirage's body and pulled him close. Hound deepened the kiss, gently licking at Mirage's lips, asking for entrance. Granting it, Mirage's glossa brushed against Hound's as the scout's entered his mouth.

Moaning, Mirage wrapped his arms around his beloved scout's neck, pulling the tracker closer to him. He allowed Hound to cup the back of his helm as he gently nipped at his lips. Breaking the kiss, Hound gazed at Mirage.

"We should get back to the base before we go any further," Hound's voice was husky with desire for the lithe spy in his arms. Mirage nodded and let Hound lead him back to the base and their shared quarters.
