Series Title: The Winding Road Table: Cybertron Prompt: Unity
Expected in this one: The fluffiest of fluff.
When a new recruit mentioned to Ratchet that his mate was a hard-aft on the firing range, Ratchet almost found himself refuting the assumption. Almost, but something stopped him.
Perhaps it was the quiet support Ironhide always offered him, or the unspoken love between them, or the seamless way they worked together after all this time, but Ironhide had worked his way into Ratchet's life so deeply that he couldn't imagine a life without the weapons specialist in it.
Somewhere along their journey together, they had become a unit, two mechs living one life, neither one far from the other.
