To an outsider, Rose and Rung's friendship was something that was very mutual and the two were close.

Bots could assume that they were dating, which was not the case at all. The two were just really good friends.

It was common knowledge that Rose was the patient of Rung, and after he dismissed Rose the two became very close.

But, some crewmembers got the wrong idea and believed that they were a thing. I mean, who would blame them?

The Liaison's schedule revolved around helping fellow crewmates out, and zey always visited Rung's Office first.

Zey always talked to him first and then left.

It didn't stop anyone from trying to drop hints by little things Rung or Rose would do.

"He's totally into you!" or "Zey really likes you!" were common comments of any member of The Lost Light.

Especially Swerve.

Swerve and Whirl often plan and tease Rose about zir crush on Rung, Rose ignores it knowing that they would forget about zir in a minute.

Which is usually the case. But lately doubt has begun to cast upon zir's true feelings for Rung.

Zey did come to terms with zir mutual respect for Rung, but all the teasing that the both of them were going through really got to zir.

Was zey...

In love with Rung?

In theory, it was good on paper. But in reality, it was nothing short of ridiculous. Rose did find the mech attractive, but could never see them together.

So what's with the crew trying to get them together? Rose and Rung were just friends.

Just friends…

Rose wasn't sure if that statement was true or not, and zey wasn't going to find out. Rose walked to Rung's Office first thing in the morning. Rose walked up to the door of Rung's Office, and knocked on it.

"Come in!" Rung calls, Rose opened the door. Rung swerved his chair around to see Rose and smiled.

"Ah, hello Rose! Come sit down!" Rung offered. Rose nodded and sat down across from him.

"Rung, I got some of your energon pocky treats, I know you were running out of them so I made time in my rather busy schedule to make time and help." Rose said, reaching down from zir satchel and pulling out the box of energon pocky's.

Rung's optics brightened. "I appreciate it. Thank you Rose." Rung said.

"No problem, you know I value our relationship and I wanted to do something nice for once." Rose said. Rung nodded.

"I really appreciate your companionship Rose." Rung said. Rose smiled.

"No need for flattery. I just am glad you're my friend. I really appreciate it." Rose said, Rung smiled.

"I understand." He said, taking the pocky out of the box and holding one out for Rose.

"Would you like some?" Rung asked.

"No thank you." Rose said politely.

"Alright." Rung said.

"Rung, do you want to come with me to run an errand?" Rose asked.

"Of course." Rung said. "I do have a bit of time before my next session, so why not?" Rung asked. Rose smiled and walked with Rung. The two talked for a while. The two of them walked inside the empty room.

"Rung, um…" Rose started.

"Yes?" Rung answers.

"Um, do you hear what the others are saying about us?" Asked Rose.

"Oh, of course. But, I don't really mind what they say, if I allow them to let us know that it's bothering me then they would more than likely continue, so if you ignore them, then they would get bored. I should know, I deal with Whirl everyday." Rung said, Rose nodded.

"What if… Those comments made you feel something else? Like… Something else? Like you feel something that you didn't know you felt?" inquires Rose.

Rung looked puzzled and thought about it. He never really thought of the possibility of this at all. Rung nodded, and smiled. "Well, maybe it's something there you just didn't feel before. Maybe it unlocked something you didn't think you felt beforehand… A desire, a burning passion or maybe lust is that something." Rung explained.

"Either way, I will listen for as long as you want." Rung reassured Rose and smiled gently at zir.

"Thanks Rung, you really helped me… I understand, hopefully my feelings will smooth over soon." Rose replies, Rung nodded.

"Glad to be of help, I have to get going. Do you want to walk back with me?" Rung offers.

"Of course." Rose smiled.

The two got up and were prepared to walk out of the empty room, only for the room to be locked from the inside. Rose attempted to place the unlock code but it wasn't unlocking, Rose didn't give up, zey went and tried to open the door once again.

But it wouldn't budge, Rose sighed, and sat down. "It's hopeless, Rung… It won't open!" Rose slumped down from the realization.

Rung was busy thinking, he then turned back to face Rose. "Well, it's okay, surely someone could at LEAST know we're missing." Rung tries to reassure the cybertronian. "Or atleast come and find us." Rung said.

"... Find us? Oh stars, what if we're here forever?" Rose asked.

Rung looked down. "I wouldn't think like that Rose. Think more on the bright side. Maybe I could call someone." Rung said. "Hopefully that'll speed up the process." Rung added.

Rose nods. "You do that, I'll go check on the doors. And see if I could somehow override the doors functions in my favor." Rose explains the plan to Rung. Rung nodded and began to go on his comms.

Rose walked to the doors once more and attempted to at least pry open the doors. But there was nothing zey could see, ze didn't know what to do. Defeated, Zey walked back to Rung. "I couldn't find a way to open the doors." said Rose.

"Oh… I couldn't reach anyone on my comms." Rung said, he looked quite embarrassed and looked away.

"So, there might not be a way out?" Rose asked Rung, panic starting to settle in.

"Rose." Rung placed a servo on Rose's shoulder. Rose looked up into Rung's blue optics and zey could've sworn zey saw his optics shine. Rose's blush deepened. Zey cleared zir throat in an attempt to try and get rid of the burning silence.

But Rung chuckled– albeit in a nervous way, and looked at Rose. "Relax Rose, everything should be fine, I predict we might get help sooner or later." Rung reassured Rose.

At this point, Rose couldn't stand it. And slammed zir dermas on a shocked Rung, who kissed back. The two kissed each other, Rose blushed brightly. Rung in shock, didn't know how to react. Rung immediately went in for a kiss, the two deepened the kiss and it changed into a heated makeout.

Rung embraced zir and moved down to zir panel, and rubbed it, hoping it would open for him. In turn, Rose opened zir panel. Rung blushed and looked down at the valve entrance that was exposed.

Why did this escalate to this? He looked back to Rose, who was half covered up and had a lust look in zir optics. Rung felt their digits intertwine with one another and the makeout lasted for a good while. When it was decided Rung was done, he pulled away, a string of silvia attached to both of their lips together.

He looked down to realize Rose's panel was already opened, and began to smile. "W-Well, Isn't this… Um… Wonderful?"

To say that Rung and Rose were embarrassed was an understatement. Both of them barely even established these feelings beforehand so it was in the heat of the moment. Rung knew feelings like these weren't too odd and too far in between at all. But it still really made him feel awkward.

Rung leaned down and kissed Rose some more, sliding his servo down zir's valve and started to slowly add in a digit and began to pump Roses' valve. Rung felt the slick warmth of Rose's heat.

Rung didn't know what truly happened next, all he knew was that his frame went on autopilot. He knew all the places where Rose would enjoy. Speaking of Rose, ze were enjoying this.

Rung placed his spike inside of Rose's valve. "R-Rose, u-um…" Rung starts.

"Yes Rung?" Rose responded.

"P-Please tell me if I'm hurting you…" Rung said, feeling embarrassed.

"Of course."

Rung slowly slid inside of Rose, their digits still entwined together. Rung slides into Rose's Valve gently and tried to be gentle, Rung didn't have much of a sexual appitite. But he was willing to try and please Rose.

Rung slowly maneuvered around Rose's valve. Rung continued to move around Rose's valve. Their digits are still entwined together. Rose gave soft kisses to Roses' helm. While he rode inside of Rose's tight valve.

Rung continued, zir valve was being milked by Rung's spike, Rung moaned, and Rose did as well. The two occasionally kissed once again. Rung moans loudly, and continues to rut inside of Rose.

Rung bit his lip, and gasped. He went a bit faster, and leaned into kiss Rose on the lips, eventually he overloaded into Rose. Rung pulled out of Rose and looked away from zir.

He had nothing to say to zir. The both of them placed their panels on, as the door opened.

"There you were Rung and Rose! Are the both of you okay?" Said a voice, they turned to face the voice.

It was Rodimus, Rose looked down.

"How did you find us?" Rung asked.

"Well, these troublemakers told us where you were." Ultra Magnus said, referring to Whirl and Swerve. Rose's faceplates turned redder. And zey remained optic contact with the floor, ze couldn't say anything.

"Thank you, both. Um. Rose, I'll see you soon." Rung said, rushing out, Rose didn't respond and chose to push past Rodimus and Ultra Magnus and Rodimus.

It seems the two were in a mutual agreement to not speak of this again, Rose was unsure if their relationship was impacted from this encounter, but something told zir, zey were afraid to ever face Rung again. A fact which Rose was okay with. Zey were sure Rung felt the same as ze. Rose walked alone to zir habsuite feeling very upset, and laid in zir berth, all zey could do was look up at the ceiling and cry silently.
