Prompt #39 -"Don't cry."

It had been an impulsive decision, to bring her here. One that Sunny and Sides had both discussed thoroughly, to Sideswipe consternation and grudging respect.

It had been a good idea to do so.

Sideswipe would proudly tell anyone who'd listen, he wasn't as obsessive as his brother.

Nobody on Earth could match Sunstreaker's obsessiveness.

At least that was his humble opinion.

In this case though, he admitted, privately at least, Sunny had been right when he made them both sit down to discuss the finer details of their sudden plan.

Plan turned date...that their girlfriend had no idea about.

First they'd had to convince Ratchet that it was worth his time and energy usage to send them back through the ground bridge to the location they'd already patrolled.

That hadn't been too hard.

They'd just had to explain...reluctantly.

The area had been beautiful and the moment they'd mentioned their intentions...in not so many words, Ratchet had softened from his "frag no and don't ever ask me again you pit spawns of Unicron" and let them.

Sunny had been more quietly pleased than Sides, if smirking smugly at Hatchet could be called quietly pleased.

Sideswipe, on the other hand, crowed his glee and triumph right in Hatchet's face.

And both of their EM fields practically screamed their satisfaction.

The medic had looked tempted to brain them with one of his infamous wrenches for that.

He hadn't thankfully.

Second they'd had to keep who they were doing this for out of the loop...not an easy task given they couldn't keep away from her and she had an uncanny ability to know when they were up to something.

So many questions dodged.

And in such interesting ways too.

Oh yes she had been quite distracted by them.

Sides had gone straight for distracting her by claiming her lips in several heated kisses or trailing them up and down her jaw.

And Sunny knew her weaknesses well; he loved the way her heart pounded anytime they turned their attention on her. And he used that to his full advantage. He'd layered kisses and nips at the pulse point on her neck, thoroughly flustering her.

They did it every time they saw her.

They'd played dirty, and won.

For the most part anyway. Enough to throw her off the scent, and allow them to plot freely. They were incredibly lucky that humans couldn't really feel or read EM fields. They would've been had if that weren't the case.

It had taken them a lot of convincing, more like begging and whining, to get her to come with them through the ground bridge by the time they were ready to spring their plan. She had been suspicious and shooting them looks before conceding warily. Not that they could really blame her.

Damn them and their love for teasing her relentlessly.

Her love for the drives they were known to go on, and her trust in them won out.

It was something they'd have to remember to thank and reward her for later.

For now though, they got their human to agree.

Once she'd crawled into Sunny's alt mode, the twins rushed through the opening ground bridge. No need to give her the opportunity to back out.

Sideswipe careened ahead first, slower than usual but maintaining a steady speed. Sunny followed with a more subdued enthusiasm.

The swirling mixture of colors that made up the ground bridge's portal gradually faded into a field of yellow and green and a horizon of rolling purple and blue.

They kept on the tire tracks as they drove deeper into the field of flowers until they reached the point they found upon their initial excursion here.

Both rolling to a gradual stop, the entire brunt of their attention focused intently on their girlfriend as she climbed out and looked around, clearly awestruck.

Comms opened between them and a subtle tension buzzed in the air as they waited for her to gather herself and respond. This was their moment of truth.

To their surprise and distress, she did not respond in a way they anticipated.

Her shoulders started shaking and when she'd turned around, tears were fast in making tracks down her cheeks.

Thrown, with engines revving slightly, they quickly scrambled to initiate their holoforms and sweet her into their arms between them. All the while making embarrassing cooing and chirping sounds, different iterations of 'I love you, please stop crying' and 'Please don't cry', as they tried to comfort her.

It seemed to work because seconds later she gave them a watery laugh and quick kiss. Still bewildered they watched as she separated from them and walked to the edge of where the flowers started and promptly flopped down.

The abrupt move made Sunny twitch and suppress a concerned rumble and Sides take a step forward.

It took a moment of them simply staring at her as she stared at the sky and at the flowers, before they flopped down on either side of her, sitting close enough that they pressed into her sides. It was still mildly concerning that she'd burst into tears, but they'd bring that up later.

A rare moment of stillness settled over them and they felt no inclination to break it. Not with their usual teasing or semi-aggressive shows of affection. This time they both simply grabbed one of her hands and pressed a few soft kisses to them before turning their own attention to the view.

They had made an excellent choice.

The contentment and awe on her face only cemented it in their minds.
