Happy belated birthday Speedstreak360! I hope you enjoy this and that everything is alright with you.

For everyone else who has read my other stories my friend's funeral has just happened so I will take a while to get over it and then I will focus on the others; this is just a birthday present for Speed and to help take my mind off everything.

I hope you enjoy and if you do want to review please don't flame.

Disclaimer- Transformers doesn't belong to me but Maximum belongs to Speedstreak360.


"I love you" The soft whisper came over the silence two pairs of blue optics looking at one another

"I love you too" A slightly deeper voice replied leaning down for a kiss, the smaller of the two reached up and wrapped his arms around the other's neck.

"If my father finds out about this we will be in a lot of trouble"

"Then we will just have to ensure that he doesn't find out; even if he does though what does it matter? We both love one another and that should be all that matters. If worst comes to the worst I will fight for you." With a smile the shorter of the two leaned up to kiss him once more

"I should go, I have training with Ironhide soon. If I'm late again he'll start to suspect something" With one last kiss the two separated leaving the room at different times to ensure secrecy.


"Focus Maximum! Take your optic off of the enemy for one moment and they will separate your head from your shoulder quicker than Blurr can talk" Ironhide shouted watching Maximum attempt to hit the virtual targets as quickly as possible; the red mech folded his arms over his chassis and narrowed his optics watching his apprentice with scrutiny.

Rolling his optics he watched as the younger mech went flying across the room slamming into the edge of the ring before sliding to the floor with a groan; walking over he snickered when Maximum sighed angrily.

"You should have kept your optic on the targets, that's what happens when you look away for a moment" Out of the corner of his optics the younger one glared before pulling himself up onto his feet once more.

"How do you do it? Every time we try multiple targets I always get my aft kicked" He said with a sigh reaching out Ironhide placed a hand on his shoulder

"Don't worry Maximum, your father was never able to complete these simulations when he was your age. It takes a lot of practice and concentration on your half" Lifting himself up onto the edge Maximum looked at his mentor

"Hide...can I ask you a question?"

"Course you can short stuff" Nodding he took a deep breath before continuing

"There's a mech I like" Looking over at Hide he blushed at the smirk on the mech's face "Papa doesn't know nor does Mama so please don't tell them"

"On my life" Waiting for a moment he carried on

"We're in a relationship and I really love him, I mean really love him and he's told me so many times that he loves me as well. It's just...I'm scared about how Papa will react he's so protective over me and I almost know completely that he will not approve of us being together." Leaning against the edge Ironhide raised an optic ridge watching him

"The best thing you can do Maximum is be honest with him. Your father is protective of you yes but he loves you more than anything and if you sit him down and tell him what you've just told me I'm sure he will understand and allow you to continue your relationship with this mech" Upon seeing the look on Maximum's face he chuckled "Or you could speak to your mother and see what he thinks. There are many things your mother knows about most mechs on this base and has never repeated to anyone else. Besides your his son I very much doubt he would turn you into your father unless he thought you were in danger"

Sighing Maximum put his heads in his hands and shut his optics thinking over Ironhide's words; reaching over Ironhide placed a hand on his shoulder and squeezed gently, the younger mech looked up once more to face him.

"Speak to Ratchet if you want another mech's opinion, he has plenty of stories that he can tell you about secret relationships." Nodding Maximum straightened himself out and took a deep intake, nodding Ironhide watched him leave the room and slowly make his way towards the door. "Maximum" He called and waiting for the mech to turn and face him; when he did so Ironhide smirked. "If you need a secret rendezvous there's a storage room on the lower levels towards the abandoned labs that no one knows about; no one other than myself and Ratchet knows about them, they aren't on the official plans" Blushing Maximum quickly left the room ignoring Ironhide's booming laughter as he practically ran down the corridor.


"Frag" Was the soft pant as Maximum collapsed onto the ground beneath his back his arms firmly locked around the neck of his partner

"I believe that is what I just did" Came the reply, chuckling tiredly Maximum pulled himself up ot press a kiss to the other's lips

"You did, very thoroughly by the way" Moving to the side he allowed the other to lie down beside him with a smile, once the other was comfortable he moved and placed his head on the larger mech's shoulder. "This was probably the best suggestion anyone has given me" Chuckling his partner kissed him softly once more.

"You weren't the quietest though"

"No you weren't" Jumping the two looked over at the door, not having heard it open, and stared in horror and the figure stood there.

"Mother!" "Megatron!" The two shouted at the same time, the silver mech simply placed his hands on his hips

"You both have a lot of explaining to do"
