Steeljaw sees Sideswipe hugging Strongarm while Metalsound stood there watching them. Slowly letting go of Strongarm Sideswipe heard the sound of gears moving from a transformation. Seeing Steeljaw just at the scrapyard's gate he ran for his life only to be stopped by Thunderhoof, "If you start running he's going to kill you," Metalsound warned.

"And I'm dead if I don't run," he whimpered.

They see Steeljaw walking over with an angry look on his face, looking like he's ready to kill a certain bot. Strongarm blocked his path as she quickly explained, "Steeljaw, Sideswipe was just apologizing for earlier. Nothing happened."

Steeljaw looks at her, "Just apologizing?"

"Yes."

"Alright, so where's my apology?" He asks as he looks back at Sideswipe.

Sideswipe let out a sound of fear as he looked to Metalsound for help, "If he wanted to kill you he would have done it by now."

"I'm sorry," he choked quietly.

"I didn't hear you."

"I'm sorry for kissing Strongarm!"

"Just don't do it again, don't even touch her," he says with a slight growl.

"Got it," he squeaked.

"Good!" His attention then turns back to Strongarm when he feels her wrap her arms around him.

"Don't worry about it Steeljaw"

Thunderhoof let go of Sideswipe who bolted for the other side of the scrapyard, "That kid's jumpier than Clampdown," he muttered.

"Can't really blame him, he did infuriate a Wolf-Con," Bumblebee says as he walks over.

"True, he should be happy that he didn't see me when I get upset," Metalsouand joked half-heartedly.

"Yeah, he should be," Bumblebee says with a chuckle.

"It's going to take him a while to get comfortable around Steeljaw," Thunderhoof stated, "Is there anything else you wanted us to do?"

"Not right now, just relax," Bumblebee then walks over to Steeljaw and Strongarm, "Strongarm, can I talk to you?"

"Sure," she followed after the lieutenant.

They went to the other side of the scrapyard away from the others, "Strongarm, the reason I wanted Steeljaw to go on patrol with me was that I had some questions to ask him, I had to be sure his feelings were true."

"I had a feeling that's what you were doing. Did you find your answers?"

"Yes," he then tells her everything he and Steeljaw discussed.

Steeljaw was standing in the spot he had been, watching them when Metalsound came up beside him, "Is everything ok?" She asked in concern.

"Just wondering what he's telling her," he then noticed Strongarm look over at him with a sad look on her face before turning away, she looked upset about something, "What is he telling her?"

"Instead of standing here go and see for yourself," Metalsound replied as she left to do the exercise she had meant to do that morning.

Steeljaw started walking over to them, he noticed Strongarms's face turn from a frown to a smile, "How was your patrol?" Strongarm asked Steeljaw after he got to where they were.

"Good," Steeljaw replied.

"Bumblebee told me about your discussion, and everything you said."

"He did?"

"Yep," she says as she starts walking away.

"Strongarm wait," he called after her as he followed her.

"Yes?" She asks as she stops and looks at him.

Steeljaw opened his mouth but he wasn't sure of what to say, "Would you like to go for a drive?"

"Sure," she replies with a smile. She then transforms and gets ready to roll. With a sigh he transformed and headed out, not really caring where they went, and Strongarm followed right behind him.

Once they were out of earshot of the scrapyard he pulled off into the forest with Strongarm right behind him, "What did you do while Bumblebee and I were on patrol?" He asked casually. He hoped that she wasn't mad at him.

"Chatted with Thunderhoof, did some work around the scrapyard, and talked with Sideswipe."

"You talked with Thunderhoof?" He asked in surprise, "What did you and Sideswipe talk about?"

"About you and he apologized for kissing me."

"I still don't trust him that much, even though he apologized. You looked upset earlier. Is everything ok?" He asked her.

"Yeah, Bumblebee just made me think of something."

"I'm guessing he told you everything."

"Yes, everything. Including how he thought something was going on between you and Metalsound."

"He seriously thought something was going on between us?" Steeljaw asked with a low growl, "Strongarm I would never do anything that would hurt you. I don't have any feelings for her at all, you have to understand that."

Strongarm came to a halt and transformed. Steeljaw stopped and transformed as well as Strongarm started speaking, "I actually had my own suspicions at first, with the way you two were with each other. But then I came to understand that you two are just like siblings and I believe that you really do love me."

Steeljaw takes her servo, "Strongarm, if I wanted to be with her I would have said something to her a long time ago. But I see her more as a sister, that's all."

"I have been wondering though. Did you have feelings for her at first when you first met her?"

"No, I thought she could help me collect more Decepticons to build an army and I promised her revenge on Starscream."

Strongarm just nods before turning to walk away but Steeljaw kept a hold of her servo and she felt his tail wrap around her waist, pulling her against his body. He puts his arms around her still holding her servo as she still has her back towards him.

"I love you Strongarm," he had to make her see that. He leans in as he kissed the back of her neck, "I want to be with you, let me stay with you."

Strongarm leaned her helm back to lay on his shoulder, "I'm not mad at you Steeljaw, and there's no reason for me to leave you."

Steeljaw's arms tightened a little as he moved his and her servo slowly up toward her chest, "I will never hurt you or give you any reason to want to leave me," he whispered to her as he left a trail of kisses down her neck making his way to her shoulder.

She places a servo on his helm and he stops to look up at her, she looks over at him. Leaning in his lips met hers in a passionate kiss as he held her in a tight embrace, and tightened his tail around her waist.
