Queen's note: The-scrappy-stinger on tumblr asked for, "TFP Bumblebee and Knockout are accidentally at the same drive-in movie." Unnamed human is Cassidy and she's my character

It was such a rare treat, getting his little charge out and away at night time. Bumblebee had to make sure to thank Jack with being the offered 'excuse' of a studding sleep over...thing? Study night?

It was not, not true, as Raf was finishing up his homework in Bumblebee's passenger seat. The normally shy voice of the boy a little louder, calmer with only the semi-mute scout to hear him talk about his day and what Raf had learned about in and out of school. The mech feeling pride flush through his frame as the boy admitted to finally understanding the new set of glyphs Bumblebee had made for him. The scout was shameless in how he was teaching the boy Cybertronian, as much wanting to help his charge survive in any way, as well as just wanting to encourage the first person who understood Bumblebee without a data pack or needed a text ping.

The scout rumbled his engine a little more as he took a turn in the road and not too fast. No need to send his passenger sliding about, Raf was far too light and looked so tiny in the muscle car's seat. Bumblebee would never admit aloud the sheer extent of his affection of his new charge, not yet as he was scared of the Decepticons finding out. The mech soon made another turn, feeling so lucky. Feeling so happy for the first time in almost a vron or two. Not to mention lucky Ratchet had allowed him the ground bridge trip.

Bumblebee gave a chirp with a questioning edge, chittering a tone after. Watching with fascination in his field as the boy looked up from his old laptop (the mech was already ordering a new one for his charge). There was a slight pause before Raf nodded, "I like those cartoons! Just don't tell my brothers and dad okay?"

The hidden mech gave an assuring sound as he slowed and turned off the road to the drive in, carefully driving without lights over grass to not leave tracks. He opened a compartment in his dash right in front of the human sparkling, whistling for attention. after a pout Raf saved his work, closed his computer to put it in with his other things. "Already?"

If he had been in robot mode Bumblebee would nod, but for now he waited until raf was safely unbuckled before slowly transforming. Able to grasp the boy, and flashing a grin under his battle mask at the startled sound and expression from Raf, then the grin widened at the delighted laugh that followed. Bumblebee trilled a sort of giggle-laugh back as he walked around a cluster of trees that would shelter him from those down the hill and in the drive in.

"Hmm?" A completely unexpected voice half asked. A Cybertronian voice, and form that was already sitting in the area Bumblebee hand planned. The scout stopped short, sapphire optics widened in shock-arm as he met just as startled red and black optics of Knockout. The two stared at each other in an oddly...peaceful moment. Utterly confused on both parties, Bumblebee reflexively moving his free hand to shield Raf behind his hand while the Decepticon Medic blinked a few times where he sat.

...and reflexively lifted his own hand to shield a human with him?

Bumblebee warbled a question, finally looking down to where Knockout was sitting. His right leg stretched out, the other bent, but hand both a cloth over his right thigh and a just as surprised dark haired human woman sitting on the mech's leg. Braised against Knockout's right hand between the edge of the palm and thumb. She had a paintbrush in hand and after a moment Bumblebee realized that the human had been painting on delicate highlights and small patterns on the medic's hand.

Knockout was, thankfully, far more interested in having his claws panted that night and watching the drive in's movie then fighting. So much so he did not mind Bumblebee and his human staying….and giving a few pointers of highlights to match yellow paint.
