Author's Notes - Thank you all for the reviews (mainly on DeviantArt)! It makes me happy knowing that I'm not the only one who supports Knockout and Arcee.

And shoutout to my DevArt/FanFiction friend Legacy Now. Your stories inspire me to get off my lazy ass and keep writing :)

Now, first chapter was mainly introductions. From here on, the story will switch back and forth each chapter from the Autobots to the Decepticons. You'll see what I mean.

Disclaimer - I know I don't have to write these on EVERY chapter, but they're just here to remind me that I don't own Transformers. And that I probably never will.


"Mmmm...Knockout...we need to talk..."

The medic's lips left Arcee's neck as he shifted his gaze to look at her, "Now? Can't it wait until after-"

"This is important!" Arcee reluctantly pushed the clingy Decepticon medic off of her to get the point across, "The others...the Autobots and humans...they're all starting to get suspicious. Optimus mentioned that my patrol shifts at night run later than they're supposed to, my human friend Jack keeps asking if I'm alright, and Ratchet keeps looking at me like he knows what I've been doing. I think he's noticed the scratch marks on my armor..."

Knockout leaned on his side and tilted his helm in bemusement, "So what if they're suspicious? Your business is your own. It's not like Optimus can stop you from doing your patrol shifts right?"

Arcee looked at him with tired optics, "Optimus ordered that we should start patroling the area in pairs. 'Just to be on the safe side' he said. I'm not going to be able to use my patrol shift as an excuse to see you anymore."

Knockout sat up straighter and grabbed one of her servos, stroking it gently, "Sounds kind of like what Starscream is doing. He wants me to continue working on-" He stopped himself before he revealed anything about Megatron, "-the injured mechs in my medbay, instead of going out streetracing or joyriding every night. He even gave me a nasty warning with those talons of his, making me promise never to go out without his permission again."

Arcee lifted an optic ridge, "So you're here now because he actually gave you permission?"

"Heh, no. I slipped out the back entrance, just as I always do. I'm not going to let Lord Starscream ruin my chances of being with you." Knockout let go of her servo and reached up to cup her face in his hand, "We'll work something out. Maybe you could ditch your partner while your driving around."

Arcee gave him a light shove, but leaned into his hand, enjoying the warmth radiating from his servo. She sighed, knowing this would probably be the last time she'd be able to see him outside of the battefield. Her optics locked with his, both gazes telling the other how much they'd be missed. Arcee leaned forward, closing the gap between them and wrapping her servos around his neck, pulling him closer. Knockout's own servos slid down her curvaceous frame, resting on her hips for a moment before sliding back up her frame until finally settling on her back. He slowly pushed himself on top of her, pinning her to the ground and placing his servos on either side of her helm. He dipped his helm and continued where he had left off, assaulting her neck with light kisses and gentle nipping.

Arcee, while enjoying Knockout's ministrations, gently brought his face away from her neck again, making both be at optic level with each other once again.

"If this ends up being the last time we see each other, I want to make it count. I...I'm ready for you Knockout."

The medic's surprise was quickly outweighed by an understanding smirk, and he slowly leaned back down to whisper in her audio, "You're ready to bond with me? Are you sure?"

Arcee's intakes hitched when she felt his warm breath on her faceplates, "I'm sure. I want you Knockout...I love you!"

His mouth hovered over hers, anticipation clear in his voice when he answered back, "I love you too."

Unbeknownst to them, the results of their actions were going to change everything they believed in, for better or for worse.


Author's Notes - Chapter two is also short...I guess short chapters are better than no chapters at all. Next chapter is already in the making, so expect it soon!

I must say, I don't like the ending as much as I thought I did...I guess it sounded better in my head. Oh well.
