Steeljaw searched the scrapyard, looking for the two mechs. Spotting Fixit he knelt down to the Mini-Con's level, "Have you seen Bumblebee or Ultra Magnus?"
"They went on control - petrol - patrol, they should be back soon."
"Guess I'll have to wait," he replied as he left to get an Energon cube, "Could you let me know when they get back?"
"Sure thing," Fixit replied letting out a sigh after Steeljaw walked off.
Just then the others came into the scrapyard and saw Steeljaw. Bulkhead walked up to him, "Hey, you doing alright?"
"I'm alright, just waiting for Ultra Magnus and Bumblebee to come back from patrol."
"Uh, you're not planning on tearing them apart are you?" Sideswipe asked hesitantly. He's still a bit nervous being around him.
"No, for one Strongarm cares about them, and I have no reason to."
"Oh, well that's good."
"Where's Thunderhoof and Metalsound?"
"Did someone call?" Thunderhoof asked as he and Metalsound walks into the scrapyard.
"Feel better?" Metalsound asked keeping her distance.
"Yes, thanks to Strongarm."
"Good," Metalsound said as she stayed close to her mate.
"I'm sorry about earlier."
"It's alright," Metalsound replied with a smile.
"I wonder who would win if those two got into a fight," Sideswipe whispered to Grimlock.
"Not sure, they're both pretty fierce when angry."
"It would also depend on experience and strength," Drift added.
"Metalsound has more experience but Steeljaw has more strength," Sideswipe pointed out.
"I have a lot of experience too," Steeljaw growled making Sideswipe jump.
"D-didn't think you could hear us."
"Of course we can hear you, you're not too far away and you're not all that quiet."
Metalsound giggled, "I'm going on a patrol," she said as she started to leave, passing Ultra Magnus and Bumblebee on the way out. Steeljaw glares at Sideswipe before turning his attention to Ultra Magnus and Bumblebee when he hears Magnus speaking.
"Steeljaw, nice to see you out and about. How is everything?"
"Everything is good, and I wanted to apologize for my behavior earlier," he replied.
"It's perfectly understandable, we deserve it after what we did."
"You're forgiven, and I understand why you are both so protective of Strongarm."
"How is Strongarm doing?" Magnus asks with concern.
"She's doing better, Arcee said that she will be able to move around in a couple of days."
"That's good to hear," Bumblebee says with relief.
"Indeed," Magnus adds.
"Well, I think Steeljaw and I will join Metalsound on that patrol," Thunderhoof states as he walks off pulling Steeljaw with him. Steeljaw looked at him questioningly before transforming and driving out. Thunderhoof followed after him as he transformed himself, "Shouldn't you let Strongarm know that you're leaving?" He asked as he caught up to his fellow Decepticon.
"Nah I'll explain when I get back."
"Alright. You ok?"
"Yeah, it's just really hard. Just think how you would feel not being able to have sex with your mate for a week or so."
"I would most likely lose my mind, and if Metalsound was in heat I'm sure she would go insane."
"Yes, and that's exactly how I'm feeling."
"I know it may not be much but, I'm sorry that you're going through this."
"Thanks, I just wish it would be all over with already."
"I know, but just think of what you can do once the wait is over. I'm sure we wouldn't be seeing you two again until your heat cycle is over. How long does it last? If you don't mind me asking."
"I think a week or two, not sure. All I know is that once Strongarm is better I'm gonna frag her so much she won't be able to walk."
Thunderhoof chuckles, "I'm sure she won't. Metalsound hasn't had her heat cycle yet."
"She probably has and just hasn't shown it."
"I guess."
"I'm gonna be all over Strongarm when she's healed, already told her she better prepare herself."
"I bet. You got anything special planned?"
"Not really, just to frag her all night and day until we can't anymore."
Thunderhoof chuckled again, "Can't blame you there."
Steeljaw had a big grin on his face just thinking about it, and was getting turned on.
"Don't go getting yourself excited," Thunderhoof said still chuckling.
"I can't help it, I think about her or having sex with her and I get all excited."
"Is that all you mechs think about?"Metalsound asked from above the two.
"Only when I haven't done it in a while."
"Ok," she chuckled, "Mind if I give some advice?"
"Sure, go right on ahead."
"Take it slow, let her enjoy what you're doing. If you want, let her pleasure you for a while before you decide to take her."
"I'm not a savage, I wasn't gonna just jump into it. I'm gonna take it easy so I don't harm or frighten her."
"I know, I was just saying. And I don't think you would frighten or hurt her. You love her too much."
"Yes."
When Steeljaw gets back to the room he walks in to see Strongarm kneeling down on the floor next to the bed.
"What happened?" He asked as he rushed to her side, "Are you alright?" He carefully picked her up and placed her back on the berth.
"Yeah, I just wanted to see if I could move and walk alright. I'm getting tired of laying here."
"I know but you can't push yourself too much. Arcee said that you should be fully recovered in two more days," he told her.
She pulls herself up into a sitting position leaning against the wall, "I know, I just can't stand being in one spot and not being able to do anything."
"How did you do when you tried moving?"
"Alright, until my legs gave out."
"Have you been there long?" He asked with worry.
"Not too long, just a few minutes. You sure took a while to get back."
"I was on patrol with Thunderhoof and Metalsound, nothing interesting happened," he shrugged.
"Oh."
"I'm sorry, I needed to get away for a while."
"I understand. How did the talk go with them?"
"It went well."
"Good. Did you enjoy your drive?"
"I did, I just wish you were there with me," he replied as he gave her a kiss.
"Yeah, I wish I was there too."
