Breakdown watched Knockout battling spark was racing. Would the bigger mech hurt Knockout? Did Knockout need saving? that's silly..he's the doctor…he told himself. Knockout growled at him and shoved his spear hard into Optimus's side. Optimus hit him to the ground. Optimus was shocked at how light the car mech was. Knockout took the hit hard and was still laying on his side. He was torn, his honor told him to check on the mech, but his fear of the terror, told him to kick him when he was down.

Breakdown was enraged and rushed into the battle. Optimus suddenly realize them two were more than just friends. He knew Breakdown would freak and forget Knockout on the ground, too mad to think. He put his hands up and tried to calm the enraged jeep. Knockout groaned abit as he rebooted and tried to sit up. He shook his head abit as he rubbed his forehead. He looked at Breakdown going to town on Optimus.

Knockout: down boy!
Breakdown: but..but…,Red…
Knockout: I know that and I'm fine..but you are so paying me for the paint, Optimus
Optimus Prime: uh..paint?
Breakdown: he is atad vain..but…its cute
Optimus Prime: Atad?
Knockout: move it, Breakdown, I owe him a door or two!

He got up and griped his spear. He spit out the engeron that had pooled into his mouth and went after him. Optimus Prime smirked abit, he liked how Knockout never gave up, never let the size different keep him down. He only wished the car mech was an Autobot, he could teach Bumblebee a thing or two. Optimus made sure to never stay in one spot, but he knew Knockout would only tire him out and go for the kill. The mech was like a child on sugar. He hated to see Knockout on coffee.

Knockout: just stand still, big man, your getting tired!
Optimus Prime: you'll have to earn that kill, Knockout, but answer me this..
Knockout: shoot, what do you want to know?
Optiums Prime: your..and um…Breakdown?
Knockout: ugh..I don't ask you what you and Acree do in bed so why ask me that!
Optimus Prime: uh..we're not..together..um…
Knockout: yet…she wants to ask you, shame I'm going to kill you
Optimus Prime: and I'll say it again, you have to earn that!

Knockout grinned like a cat as he flipped himself over and landed on Breakdown's shoulders. Optimus Prime was puzzled until he saw the height gain. Breakdown ran a loving hand along side Knockout's legs as he held him down. Optimus Prime felt his spark hurt, if he killed Knockout, Breakdown will be alone, like how Acree is with Cliffjumper.

Breakdown: I love it when you think devilishly, Red
Knockout: less flirting and more syncing with me. I would hate to fall from this height. I just changed my rims..
Breakdown: anything for you..

Optimus Prime shook his head, he couldn't let his soft feelings for love make him fall under was cold but there was a spark of light, a spark of innocence under it. He had seen the mech play around with Miko when he could have killed her. Taking her for a simple joy ride, both coming out of it, laughing and smiling. Optimus Prime saw his team and deiced to pull back, He would let love surive another day.

Optimus Prime: fall back!
Kncokout: oi! Where you going, big guy?
Optimus Prime: my troops mean more than pride, something Megatron could learn
Knockout: your soft
Optimus Prime: your so keen on dieing
Knockout: death is just a new place for me to show off!

Optimus prime wondered if Breakdown knew his mate was suicidal and self harming or if he was living in denial. He just walked away as Knockout jumped down to the ground. His red eyes narrowed at Optimus Prime, but Optimus didn't make a move. He would give Knockout another day.
