Bee had been acting strange all afternoon. Sam could tell that he was as reluctant to leave as Sam was for him to go, but there was something else. Something more. Sam had never seen him caught between this level of morose, excited, and secretive? It was weird.

"Bee are you feeling alright?" Sam asked concerned about the Autobot knowing this was going to be one of the last times he would be able to ask that question. The Autobots were leaving Earth tomorrow.

Bee turned his most imploring look on Sam, "Would you come with me to the outlook? I want to show you something." Bee knew that it was unlikely the place was visited by other humans. It was remote, and it was late. Bee couldn't wait, and he couldn't make himself give up this opportunity. It was all he had left. It would be his last best memory of Sam.

Sam nodded. "Okay Bee" He agreed. He really didn't want the night to end, didn't want tomorrow to come.

-He climbed into his friend's alternate form for perhaps the last time, and had to force himself not to let out the tears. He wouldn't spoil the last of their time together with grief. There would be plenty of time to grieve later. He pushed aside his angst and concentrated on his curiosity. What could Bee possibly want to show him at the outlook? Maybe he was going to show him Cybertron from the groundling point of view.

"Bee, what are you going to show me? C'mon don't keep me in suspense" Sam asked as Bee sped to the outlook. "Even you can't stay silent for long"

Bee whistled in derision. Sam has the patience of a sparkling but Bee wasn't giving out any clues. Sam had to wait until they were at the canyon's edge under the blanket of stars. Bee sighed, he loved that quote. He was going to miss so much about humanity not the least of which was their creativity, their bravery, their dogged stubbornness. Bee didn't quite smile, he knew which human he was talking about now.

Sam made a frustrated sound as he flopped back against the seat since Bee was driving them to the outlook.

It was ten more minutes tops to the outlook, Sam thought he could wait that long but he didn't. The boy couldn't let the oppressive silence of their impending separation consume him again. "C'mon Bee, talk to me. Do you guys have everything ready? I bet Ratchet is driving everybody nuts, trying to keep track of all his equipment. Did you know he actually admitted to me that he was getting attached to some of his human tools, and that he would miss them when he couldn't replace them anymore? That was warm, and fuzzy for Rachet." Sam snorted a laugh. Everyone teased the medic about his temper but Sam didn't blame him. It was hard to see the people you cared about hurt. It sounded even more awful being responsible for fixing them.

"I..um, I.. Bee...I" Sam started to say, before he finally got the words out. "I'm going to miss Rachet, and Optimus heck I'm even going to miss Ironhide. But Bee...I'm gonna miss you most"

Bee sighed, "I'm going to miss you too Sam" He was, but what he was about to do would make the parting a bit easier, this way a tiny part of Sam will stay with him.

"Sam you know about Sparks right?" He talked carefully.

"I know all of you have one" Sam said. "Its like your life force right?"

"Yes but It' so much more" He paused, he had the talk ready "On Cybertron there is a gift one can give another Autobot to show him his appreciation and how much he means, how much he trusts another"

"What kind of gift?" Sam asked.

"Spark Lighting, Sam. It's a custom of my people."

"Um, really?" Sam asked nervously.

Shortly after the question was asked the tires caught the gravel, and Bee stopped at the Canyon overlook.

Sam had never heard of Spark Lighting, and it sounded important. What if he messed it up?

"So...what exactly is Spark Lighting" Sam asked getting out when Bee opened the door silently inviting him to exit so he could change to his protoform.

Sam watched as, with his usual grace, Bee transformed.

"I will show you, Sam, be patient a little longer." Bee replied.

"Okay Bee" Sam said looking out at the view sighing disconsolately. But Bee was not deterred, he knelt in front of the startled teen, and then settled onto the ground.

"Look here Sam." Bee pointed to the spark chamber in his chest.

Sam watched, as with a whirring sounds the breastplate of Bee moved apart; he had seen Bee transform before but this, this was new.

The metal revealed a cage inside which a bundle of blinding light was glowing warmly

It was awesome, and frightening, but beautiful in it's own dangerous way. The sight was simply breathtaking

"Is this your spark?" Sam reached his hand entranced by the pulsing light; He stared at the bundle of light, so bright he should really shield his eyes but there was no harshness to it. It was mesmerizing and he didn't feel frightened like he probably should have.

He felt an uncontrollable urge to touch, and before he could stop himself he found his reaching fingers stretching forward to stroke the amazing light that was Bee's soul.

Bee watched Sam curiously, his spark was calling for the human, he could feel it. His optics fluttered shut. "Touch it Sam" He whispered.

Sam looked up at Bee in amazement. "Can I really?" He asked even as his hands moved ever closer to Bumblebee's spark.

Bee couldn't help feeling anxious. His spark throbbed and ached for the connection, he wanted to feel Sam so much "Yes!" Bee moaned. "Yes Sam, please" He sat there completely helpless and vulnerable wanting, needing Sam to touch him, to connect with him, to accept the gift he was giving.

Sam's hands moved and when they made contact with the spark in Bee's chest he moaned softly. "Bee...it feels so warm, but its not burning me" He looked into the blue optics of his guardian and friend still in wonder that he trusted him like this, with his life force. Granted Sam trusted Bee with his life too, but it still amazed him as he caressed Bee's spark.

"Oh Primus!" Sam's fingers glided over his spark and Bee felt his processor overheating with data. Sam's touch was exciting and calming, strong and gentle "Sam" Pleasure flowed over his systems flooding his core making all his senses oversensitive. He could hear Sam's heart hammering in his chest and his breathing, he saw every change of color in his irises. He felt Sam's body so close to him but still not close enough. He pulled his boy closer.

"Bee!" Sam moaned loudly he shifted a bit when he felt to his surprise that he was growing hard as he rubbed and caressed Bee's spark. When Bumblebee moved him closer he didn't fight it, it felt so good being closer to that warmth that was filling each of his senses.

It made him want to weep even as his body still shook with bolts of pleasure from Bee's essence, and he knew, he knew in his bones, that Bee felt him too; felt his mind, his soul, maybe even the echoes of his body.

"Sam!" Bee groaned in response. Never in his life was he feeling so good. He wanted Sam to feel as good. His finger slipped under boy's shirt and touched his naked back.

Just to feel his skin to feel him even closer.

Sam leaned back for a few moments letting Bee's finger support him as it rubbed his back gently. "Bee...mmm...feels good Bee..." Sam moaned.

Bee felt his spark flash with pleasure at the words. His fingers tingled, feeling muscles playing under Sam's skin, so soft and strong. Sam squeezed his spark gently "Sam please!"

Sam panted softly as he moved one hand from Bee's spark and it moved to his now aching cock and he started to rub himself moaning loudly, his other hand still caressing Bee's spark. "Bee..."

His name moaned in this wanton way, and Sam was stroking himself. Bee watched entranced as Sam threw his head back and bit his lip one hand moving on his swollen cock. He could felt the human's pleasure in his spark. Waves of arousal run over him making him shudder. Sam's pleasure was so intense and it was growing and Bee Spark was responding, resonating with him his spark flaring again. His sensors flooded with sounds, pictures, textures, heady mix of what his human was.

"Oh god Bee....fuck feels so good..." Sam moaned all of his senses on overload as he felt pleasure like he had never known before and he knew Bee was enjoying this as well, he could feel it. How he wasn't quite sure but right then figuring out the how was the last thing on his mind. "Touch me Bee....please oh fuck touch me..."

"Sam...You feel so good... so wild... Oh Sam" His human's pleasure was overwhelming and blinding. Bee slid his finger lower, to feel his soft ass, to comply to his wish. His finger vibrated in effort of staying gentle and his spark was flaring constantly now, sending blinding flash of lights, tiny discharges escaping his wiring.

Sam let out a small cry when he felt Bee's finger start vibrating. "Fuck! Bee...oh god Bee...." Sam managed as he pushed back against Bee's finger as he stroked his cock and Bee's spark at the same time. "So good....so good" Was all Sam could manage as he felt his body quickly hurtling to the edge of completion. "Close Bee...'m so close..."

"I feel it Sam" Be shuddered. His spark was on constant onslaught of pleasure throbbing, flaring. He could feel his own overload nearing. "Come Sam! Light my spark"

Moving, stroking and caressing one more time Sam did come crying out feeling the most exquisite orgasm he had ever had before over take his body. "BUMBLEBEE!"

Sam's orgasm shot through his spark. Pleasure exploded inside it overflowing him, overheating. Bee cried out as his processor overloaded. "SAM"

Sam expanded outward his being filled with ecstasy until only the sense of Bee's presence kept him anchored, and he couldn't feel his body anymore. Sam's vision began to dim, and he wondered vaguely if the hoarse cries floating into the night air were coming from him. A large, metallic, yellow finger gently pushed his hand away from Bee's spark, and Sam dropped back into his shuddering body.

Sam feeling Bee's, well climax Sam fell tiredly against Bee's hand that was still behind him. Sam's eyes slowly focused. He had never felt anything like that before, and now he never would again. This had felt so good, and Sam felt different but it was a good different like there was a warmth surrounding him now. "God....Bee, that was....amazing Bee..."

He realized that Bee's Spark was glowing much more brightly than earlier.

"Bee? Your spark...its a lot brighter" Sam said then looked at Bee. "Why is it so much brighter now?"

Bee came online in the matter of milseconds. He felt his spark being so much stronger now and there was this tiny part in it that still felt like Sam even though he already took his hand. Bee gently removed his hand from Sam's back "As name suggest this ritual lights our spark, It gives us strength, It lets us keep part of another person always beside us. It allows us to feel when the other die.

"Bee...you mean..." Sam started to say then stopped for a few moments before speaking again. "We did this...so you would remember me? We just had the greatest sex of my life…" Then Sam stopped realizing what he had said. Sex. He and Bumblebee had just had sex. "Oh God...." He said out loud feeling suddenly very guilty over the pleasure he had felt, that he had practically cheated on Mikaela.

Bee looked at his human and saw him realize what had just happened. He should have told him but he knew Sam would freak out. "Sam... I know on your planet the act of sex is reserved for lovers but" Bee paused. He was going to lie, for his human's good "On Cybertron such act is often committed between Friends, best friends" Bee knew Sam was so much more than this for Him but regarding the whole social mess on this planet he couldn't just tell him "I'm sorry." He paused "For not considering everything."

Sam was silent for several long moments. "Why the fuck didn't you tell me Bee? This...oh god, I cheated on Mikaela, this has to stay between us, no one can ever know." Sam said freaking out a little bit even as his mind replayed the pleasure he had felt.

"I'm sorry." Bee repeated. He didn't know what else to say. "I wanted you to know how much you mean to me, I wanted you to have me, I wanted to feel you in my spark, I..."

He realized he was so egotistical. It was all about him. His radio clicked on "...young fellow, you are the person I care for most in my life..." He repeated what he already once said. It was always easier using someone else's words when he was embarrassed. and then he allowed himself to play another song

"...Please forgive me. I know not what I do..."

He wanted to play more of this song but that would give to much away.

"Oh Bee..." Sam said he wanted to stay mad at the Autobot, really he did but this was their last hours together. Come morning he and the others would be gone and it would kill Sam knowing that he was still mad and he never got a chance to forgive the bot. "Yeah, I forgive you Bee..."

Sam's voice was so calm so gentle, maybe a little resigned but he forgave him. "I'm sure you should feel me too Sam" Bee moved away to not have any physical contact with his boy "Just close your eyes and try to reach for me, with your thoughts"

Sam wanted to say it was stupid but he sighed and he closed his eyes, thinking of nothing but Bumblebee. At first he didn't really feel anything but then there...in the back of his mind...was Bumblebee.

Bee saw Sam's skepticism when he closed his eyes and concentrated and then his expression turned shocked and Bee snickered. "Found it?"

"Bee...oh man, your just there...in my mind" Sam said in shock.

"You will know Sam, If I am off lined, you will feel it and I will feel you always, as long as you live." Bee gently reached to Sam and put his massive hand on boy's shoulder. His human radiated warmth, calming warmth he was going to miss "I will miss you Sam" One large finger slid gently over Sam's cheek.

"I'm going to miss you too Bee" Sam said wrapping an arm around Bee's finger. "I wont forget you Bee"

If Bee was human he would cry, but he was an Autobot and only his spark ached with longing. Silence fillig the air around them felt so nice Bee didn't want to disturb it "We have to go Sam" he whispered to his human but didn't move away.

If he only could, he would never leave Sam.

"I know Bee" Sam said not wanting this moment to end ever since Bumblebee had become his guardian he had become his friend as well. Sam stayed there for a few more minutes before he nodded. "Okay Bee...lets go back. One last ride yeah?"

"Yeah" Bee whispered thoughtfully, folded into his sleek Camaro form and popped the door open. Sam slid inside him and even before the doors clicked completely shut he was driving; For the last time feeling Sam's delicious weight on his seats. It was their final goodbye, tomorrow they would part for, Primus only knew, how long and Bee couldn't do anything about it. He sped back home in silence, for the last time enjoying feel of road under his tires.

When they arrived back at the house Sam was reluctant to get out of Bee but when he saw his dad he knew he had to head inside. "I'll be there in the morning Bee, bright and early okay" Sam said running his hand over Bee's hood.

Despite everything that happened on earth, despite the sinking feeling in Sam's stomach he had someone who pushed him forward.

Mikaela was his lover and friend and he couldn't imagine anyone else beside him. Sure they had problems, even broke up with each-other once or twice but staying apart was not an option really. They always ended up back together.
