"I'm hungry," Tailgate suddenly said.

"I'll go get some Energon for the both of us. I'll be right back love," said Cyclonus, quickly kissing his mate before leaving.

Tailgate sat back and waited against Cyclonus' berth. The two had bonded last night and had yet to tell the others. The door opened again and Tailgate looked up. Getaway had come in with a strange look in his optics. Tailgate shrunk back a bit with Getaway got closer.

"What can I do for yo-mffph." Tailgate was cut off when I sudden kiss was forced onto him. Getaway pulled away with a smirk and pushed a button on his arm without anyone seeing. Tailgate snapped his faceplate closed and fell off the berth.

"What was that for?" Tailgate demanded.

"I'll see you later tonight love," Getaway whispered before leaving, knowing that Cyclonus was coming back.

Tailgate looked so shocked at what had just happened. Getaway had just kissed him. A faint beeping was heard. Tailgate looked around to find a bomb that was going to go off in 10 seconds. He ran to the door but couldn't move. He sent fear to his mate, right before the bomb went off.

Cyclonus was just coming to his hab suite when he felt the fear before there was a large explosion. The door was blasted and Cyclonus was hit by the shockwave that followed. The energon fell from his hands as he hit the wall across from their room. Sudden pain filled the bond. Cyclonus shouted in the sudden pain and realized it was from his mate.

Other bots came to help the purple mech up, questioning what happened. Cyclonus shook them off and stumbled towards the burned room. He got to his hands and knees and started to look frantically for his mate. He could still feel him through the bond. After a few minutes of searching, a small groan was heard. Cyclonus uncovered his mech and shook hard.

The blue and white paint was burned almost black. The visor was gone and the faceplate was broken in half. Energon pooled everywhere from the smaller mech. A shard of metal had buried itself inside his chest.

"Cy," Tailgate whispered.

"Tailgate, what happened?" Cyclonus asked gently as he cradled his mate to his chest.

"Geta-way," Tailgate barely whispered, falling into stasis.

Cyclonus panicked and got up before running to the medibay, where he startled Ratchet. The red and white medic saw the injured mech and took him for emergency surgery. Cyclonus waited patiently for hours, comforting his mate through their bond. Getaway had come in while Tailgate was in recovery and Cyclonus was asleep. He stroked his secret lover's body. He didn't have long before a strong hand grabbed him. Cyclonus looked down murderous at the bot handling his mate.

"Get away from here before I show you no mercy. I know what you did. And soon Ultra Magnus and Rodimus will too," Cyclonus growled.

"You got no proof," said Getaway.

"I have Tailgate when he wakes up and video proof," said Cyclonus. "Get out of my sight."

Getaway was thrown out of the medibay quite literally. He growled before hiding away. Cyclonus made it back to his mate and sat next to him.

"He won't ever touch you again. No one will. Not while I'm here. I'll stay with you and never leave your side," said Cyclonus.
