A week had passed, and while Optimus still felt odd, his systems were getting back to normal, as he was almost out of his heat cycle. It would happen again, and more intensely the next time if he didn't bond and become sparked this time. Scourge and Leobreaker became closer to the Prime, and Optimus had told the, things he had never told anyone else – including things about his past. Scourge and Leobreaker were relieved to see that Optimus was getting closer to them, but they didn't push him as he was still a very capable mech.
Optimus knew what he felt in his spark and he understood what was going on with his systems, but he wasn't quite sure if he was ready to take the plunge and bond. He had long felt it was his duty to remain a fatherly figure to the Autobots but it seemed that things were going in a different direction. Unable to process this on his own, Optimus went to speak with Jetfire, who was and wasn't very helpful, but at least he listened as Optimus spoke. The only useful piece of advice Optimus got was to follow his spark.
Meanwhile, Scourge and Leobreaker also felt a need to get advice about this whole thing. It didn't take them long to find Hotshot, Evac, and Snarl. Scourge and Leobreaker were a bit surprised to find the three together. Scourge and Leobreaker explained their situation. Hotshot was the first to speak and told the pair that he was grateful that they were showing the Prime the love the bot seemed to need. Snarl and Evac were supportive as well and give some advice about pleasuring a bot like Optimus. Scourge and Leobreaker were concerned until Snarl and Evac explained that they had mates of their own, and the mates were sparked to boot. At that, Scourge and Leobreaker relaxed. They just hoped Optimus would come around.
Meanwhile, alone in his given room on this earth base, Optimus was deep in thought. Even though he was pleasure shot with what Wingsaber had done, Optimus still knew about it and what Scourge and Leobreaker had done. They had saved him then and then took him home. They had gotten to know him and never took advantage of him. The more he thought about it, the more warmth moved through his systems as he thought of the two. They had more than proven themselves to him. Now he just needed to tell them his decision.
"Optimus to Leobreaker and Scourge, please come to the office of the Prime" Optimus stated over the intercom system, he himself already on the way there. Evac and the others let Scourge and Leobreaker go at that. The pair headed for the office of the Prime.
Once there, the two entered as they had been commanded to. They were surprised by what they saw, as Optimus wasn't sitting in his chair like usual, and he wasn't as put together as usual. But he was there and wanted to speak with them. "You called for us, sir?" Leobreaker offered up.
"yes" he answered in almost a sensual and horny manner and tone. "i have decided… that i am … ready to bond with you two." Optimus was nervous when he admitted that, but he hadn't needed to be. They approached him and hugged him toghtly. "my systems are almost back in control" Optimus revealed. The pair was worried, as that meant that they needed to hurry or things might not go as hoped. They only had a short time to get this right or they would have to wait until the next cycle.
