Knock Out's P.O.V:
"Today. Today I am finally going to tell him." I said to myself as I walked aimlessly around the med-bay. I had yet told Breakdown about my situation and about an earth month has already come and gone.
Most of the reason I hadn't told Breakdown yet was because Megatron would always have him on a mission whenever I finally had time but I also was a bit afraid of how Breakdown would react when I told him.
Looking down at my mid-section, which now had a slight bulge but luckily it wasn't too noticeable, I placed a servo over it as an irritating fluttering sensation came from it. That feeling was the reason as to why I was walking around the med-bay. It had been going on and off for so long that it was keeping me from recharge.
"Do you ever stop?!" I shouted out but it only caused the fluttering to continue. Groaning loudly, I checked my internal timing and found out that it was now 6:30 in the morning. Soundwave and Dreadwing would be coming soon for their annual checkup.
Every week I would have both of them come over twice that week to make sure that the Sparks were coming along nicely.
Turning my helm over to the doors, I saw them open and there stood Dreadwing with his normal blank face. "Where's Soundwave?" I asked as the larger seeker came in quickly. "Soundwave was unable to come today Knock Out. He will stop by at a later date." Nodding, I picked up a scanner and scanned both our mid-sections. Plugging in the scanner to the computer, it showed our images and located in our mid-sections were these small gray masses.
The sparks would soon begin to build their protoforms and by the end of the final semester they would finally look like a sparkling. But as of right now, they were nothing than sparks covered in gray protoform mass.
"Looks like the little parasites are forming nicely. Won't be too long until they'll be out of us." I said as I typed down the information the computers were giving me.
Pulling my optics away from the data-pad I watched as Dreadwing looked over at the berth I had been using and I watched as he shook his helm. "Still haven't told Breakdown have you?" Dreadwing asked but I didn't answer.
"How hard can it be to tell that big lug? Just by telling it to him once he would forget it, so what's the problem with telling him?" Dreadwing asked in a low tone and I couldn't help but feel my energon boil.
Slamming the data-pad down on a table, I looked Dreadwing in the optics to show him that I was now angry. "Listen up Dreadwing, I will tell him on my own time and if I hear you speak of Breakdown like that again I'll rip your spark out! Telling Breakdown that I have a parasite living inside of me is my business and mine alone!"
Dreadwing's optics blinked a few time until they slowly wandered over to the doors. Following them, I felt my spark skip a beat as I saw who was now standing in the now open door way. There, standing there with a confused look was none other than Breakdown.
"Looks like I should be going. I'll leave you two alone than." As Dreadwing walked away, I couldn't help but noticed the victorious look he had.
Looking back over at Breakdown, I saw that his face looked both confused and concerned. "Knock Out…" Breakdown started but he stopped himself.
Stepping closer to Breakdown, I decided that I couldn't keep him in the dark any longer. "Megatron's given me permission to tell you what it is I am doing, to be truthful I have had the permission for some time now. Here it is… there was this project that I assisted on back on Cybertron. It was one Shockwave created and it dealt with creating a spark outside the Well of All Sparks."
Taking Breakdown's servo in mine I placed it near the bulge, which now seemed bigger now, and just as his digits touched it the fluttering sensation started up again. "The project was called the 'Carrier Project' and it creates sparks inside ones chassis."
There, I said it to him! I should finally be relieved, right? I would be finally getting my own berth back but why did I feel so… unclean?
Breakdown didn't move his servo away from my fluttering mid-section and neither did his optics. His expression was blank but his optics showed the deep fear he was feeling.
Closing my optics, I removed Breakdown's servo and turned away from him to face a wall. "Yeah I know it's not something I wanted to do either but lord Megatron ordered that I be part of this."
Suddenly my optics became flooded with tears and my chassis began to shake. "I never wanted to be part of this; none of it!" slamming my servos into the wall, I allowed the tears to stream down my face. Stupid mood swings.
"I don't want to deal with this anymore." This time I slid down to the floor and held my helm in my servos. All this craziness was suddenly amplified by a thousand; all the scrap that this project had created in the beginning crept up into my processor and it was just unbearable.
I suddenly felt so alone; Soundwave and Dreadwing didn't have my back in this and I was starting to think that Breakdown wouldn't either.
As I continued to cry my optics out, I didn't seem to notice the fact that I was now being carried out of the Med-bay. After a few klicks it finally processed that I was being taken away but by whom I didn't know. As I buried my face into the bot's chassis, I heard the familiar sound of a door open and close.
Slowly I opened my optics and to my surprise I was now in Breakdown and my shared room. My berth looked just like I had left it but that wasn't where I was being taken. As the bot continued to carry me away, we soon came to Breakdown's berth. Looking up, I finally saw that it was Breakdown who was holding me close.
As Breakdown placed me down on his berth, he sat down next to me and pulled me close and began to stroke my neck cables gently.
For a while neither of us spoke but after some time Breakdown finally broke our silence. "You could have told me this sooner Knock Out. I don't see why you're making such a big huff about this." Breakdown's voice didn't sound angry but sounded calm and soothing; a voice he barely used.
"I didn't know how you would react; maybe I was just too afraid." I said with small hiccups. Breakdown shook his helm and continued on stroking my neck. "Well, I think I reacted in good terms and it's nice to finally know what it is you are up to."
I laughed lightly and placed my servo over my mid-section as a mellow flutter feeling started up inside me. "Does this mean I can have my berth back?" I asked and Breakdown nodded. "Thank Primus. Those berths in the med-bay are the Pit."
Breakdown and I laughed for a few moments but it stopped when Breakdown shifted and his servo accidentally landed on my mid-section. At his sudden touch the fluttering intensified.
For a few moments Breakdown and I did nothing but feel the flutter from inside my mid-section but after a while I sighed and looked Breakdown in the optics. "I guess I need to inform you on the knowhow on this stupid project don't I?"
Breakdown nodded and I scooted closer into his hold. "Alright than… let's start from the beginning."
Yeah I know, short but this is all I could think of for this one. I promise the next one will be longer and it will have Bumblebee in it.
Review please. I like reviews with KIND words.
And i have a poll on my page and I want to know what you people prefer:
Do you like Breakdown and Knock Out are just friends or do you think of them more as lovers?
Please place you vote, it will help me in later CHPTRs
