I don't think I have told any of my readers of this but I draw. Lately, I've gotten into the Predator/Yautja fandom. I still need to buy the movies before I start make any OC's or anything like that. But I've been getting a hang on drawing them. Surprisingly enough, they aren't that hard then what I first thought. I also draw some transformers, mainly the twins of course, but it feels nice to get out of my comfort zone of robots and dragons. Also, the copy n' paste option for Fanfiction is messed up. I always have to delete what I just put in then re-paste so it doesn't freak out and do that weird code thing.
Sideswipe's POV
The warm concrete on my tires felt relieving as my brother and I drove off of the cargo plane and towards our berthroom. On our drive over there, we were stopped by Lennox and Epps. "Welcome back. Before you head over to Brey's, I wanted to make sure you knew she was sick," Will stated
Sick? I remember that being a human thing like us getting a virus or bug. "How bad is she?" my twin questioned. I turned my optics in his direction in shock from him worrying over our charge. Sunny doesn't care for the human race nor their planet but will follow me and Optimus.
Will and Rob gazed up at him with shock before returning to his normal demeanor. "She has the stomach flu. Ratchet stopped by yesterday to check up on her and gave her some antibiotics. Then from what Jazz and Cross told us that she's not looking too good," Will answered slowly at first.
Sunny dipped his head in acknowledgement before transforming and slowly taking off in the direction of the gate. What has gotten into him? His change of behavior was a bit unnerving since I have been trying to get him to at least be friends with Brey. I shook it off, taking it as if he finally took my words into consideration.
"Thanks, we'll go check up on her." I transform into my beautiful alt. mode and followed my brother out onto the open road. The two of us let loose since we were cooped up in the small cargo plane, taking off quickly.
We arrived at Brey's house within ten minutes and pulled up next to her white Ford and work truck. Of course, we didn't take her 'Ford Only Parking' sign due to her never actually hurting us the first or the second time we park here. I think she's too memorized by the beauty of us.
Over the bond, Sunny let the smallest of trickle of concern leak over his tight border. I perked up on my axels from that happening and sent confusion to him. He didn't do anything back and sent out his holoform.
My holoform also appeared in a shimmering of blue sparkles. Sunny marched over to the front door and without knocking like human customs, barged into her house. Seriously, what has gotten into him to act this way? I followed his path into the house and up the stairs right next to the front door.
Before he could march straight into her room, I stopped him with a hand on his shoulder and spun him around to face me. "What in the Pit has gotten into you? Yesterday you were happy to not have to watch over but now you seem worry for her."
He didn't answer. Up this close with his holoform, I could see flecks of trouble within his holoform's optics. Then he finally opened his dermas. "You said it yourself that I should care more for our charge since you like her some much." It sounded cold to anyone but I knew underneath that he was truly taking my words to spark.
"Hey, I'm not telling you to stop, continue on what you-," a loud thumping from within Brey's berthroom interrupted me. Both of us snapped our gaze towards the door.
"Ow, fucking hell," we heard from with the room. "You two, I'm fine. You don't-no, stop, I'm fine. Stop trying to lick me! For the love of- did you just nip me! I'm sick and you think its fine to nip me!" Brey sounded pissed off at whoever was in room with her.
Sunny opened the door to her room. We were greeted by Brey lying on the ground and her two dogs all over her. By the look on her face, she was nowhere pleased of her current situation.
Brey's eyes glanced up from the noise of the door and a smile grew on her lips. "Sides, Sunstreaker! You're back!" she cheered, excited about our appearance and scrambled to her feet.
Aubrey's POV
Kodiak and Vivian were licking my face and nearly suffocating me. I squirmed around on the bed for a short to breath and found myself on the ground. "Ow, fucking hell," I cursed loudly. The two jumped off the bed and continued their assault.
"You two, I'm fine. You don't-" Vivian was able to break past my barrier-" no, stop, I'm fine. Stop trying to lick me! For the love of-" I felt a pinch to my side from Kodiak-" did you just nip me! I'm sick and you think its fine to nip me." My voice expressed my irritation of the two acting this way.
The sound of my bedroom door squeaking caught my attention. Sides and Sunstreaker's holoform were standing there, confused of the whole situation. I perked up in excitement which was blamed on my sick state and the corners of my mouth tipped up.
"Sides, Sunstreaker. You're back!" I scrambled to my feet and rushed over to the two. "Are you guys okay? Did you run into any Cons?" My one meeting with Barricade had told me enough to never have a confrontation with them again.
In my state, my mind was not doing well with being sick and on the antibiotics. I blamed my actions of being excited of the seeing the two and relieve of them returning safely. At least, they did look safe in my eyes. "We're okay. We didn't run into any Cons, sadly" Sides answered.
"That's good." Right at that time, the dogs decided to intervene and jump on the red and yellow holoforms. They weren't attacking them, surprisingly because of last night, and instead, were loving on them. "Hey-' my stomach had different plans and twisted painfully.
My vision swam, adding to the growing list of symptoms for me. Though this was a tiny bit less painful then yesterday and gave me reassurance of this ending soon.
A strong arm wrapped around my shoulders and brought me close to a chest. "Everything okay?" Sides asked and sounded anxious.
"Sit her down on her berth," Sunstreaker ordered and surprised me he was actually caring about me. Sides helped me over to my bed and forced me to sit down. I didn't like how he was the one pushing me around due to the independent streak running in my blood.
When I attempted to stand again, my vision worsened and the streaked male pushed me back down again. "You need to stay down. Sunny's going to fix you up something amazing!" I gazed up at him with confusion writing on my face.
Right on time, my stomach growled loudly, telling me it has been over a day since my last meal. Was Sunstreaker fixing me something to eat? I don't think my stomach could keep down any food he offered me. "I don't wanna eat," I complained and lied back on my bed.
"Well, you need to eat. It's not good for you to starve yourself." I knew that too damn well since every day I skipped some sort of meal.
"If I eat, I might not be able to keep it down," I responded and curled up on myself when my stomach cramped painfully. Kodiak heard me and immediately jumped up with me on the bed. "No, yo aren't going to lick me."
Wait, where's Vivi? I sat up quickly and scanned the room for her. "Where did Vivian go?" I questioned hastily in fear of her missing.
Sides smiled knowingly and pointed towards the open bedroom door. "She followed Sunny to the kitchen. She really has a spot for him, and same thing for him." From the time the two met, they have been the best of buddies, even though one's a dog.
"Yeah, she has," I commented with a hint of jealously in my voice. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy the yellow mech has found someone he could be friends with. But I got those two because of my loneness as a Game Warden.
"Do I hear jealously in your voice?" A smirk was on his face, he already knew the answer to that question.
"No," I answered quickly, cursing at myself for the horribly lie. Sides gave me that knowing look. "Fine, yes I am jealous… but you wouldn't understand. You have a brother whose there for you all the time." I had accidently let my anger get the best of me.
It was true though, Sides has Sunstreaker and Sunstreaker has Sides for the rest of their lives. I don't. My brother is off touring around the states, playing music to anyone who wants to hear it. We were never close since we were both introverts and independent of ourselves. Our mother didn't help out relationship.
"What does that have to do with this? And you don't know if I wouldn't understand."
I sat there in silence, thinking over if I should tell him something's and stroking the top of Kod's head. "For the years I have lived in this house, I have been alone. My brother off in the world, playing music. Parents dead."
"Even though I'm use to being alone for nearly all my life, I got lonely in this big house. The Lennox family and I are close but I never had a spot for people. Animals though, I love and felt like I had a connection with them. So I adopted Kodiak and Vivian from the humane society. And we have been the best of friends ever since."
"Do you understand why I'm jealous of Sunstreaker catching the eye of Vivian? The two of them have helped me through some tough times and we've grown close."
Sides nodded his head, understanding where I was coming from. "Oh, I know too how that feels. Femmes have tried to get in the way of me and my brother's bond. As you can see, it never worked out," Sides replied and sat down on the other side of me.
Kodiak raised his head off my lap and gazed up at Sides. His tail wagged happily of having the mech so close. "But I promise you we will never get in the way of your bond with these two."
"Thank you."
A few moments later and Sunstreaker comes back into the room with Vivian on his tail. In his hands was bowl of some sort of soup steaming inside. He places the bowl on my cluttered desk and scowled at the mess in front of me. "You're just as bad as Sides," he complained.
"The life as a Conversation officer never ends and work piles up." Sunstreaker places all of the paper into a pile and scoots it off to the side.
"Come on, you need to eat." I had just realized his change of demeanor; he wasn't grumpy or disgusted of being close to me. I brushed it off like it was part of my imagination and stumbled to my desk before he could get angry at me.
By the smell of the soup, it was the chicken kind. I sat down and carefully took a sip of the hot soup. The taste was beyond anyone that I have tasted in my time, including Sarah's. This wasn't the canned kind; did he make this himself? "Wow Sunstreaker, this is amazing!"
Sunstreaker turned his head to the side with his arms cross and the hint of red appeared on his cheeks. Was he blushing from my compliment? "Thanks." I finished the rest of the soup and was about to take the bowl to the kitchen.
"Where do you think you're going?" Sides questioned and snatched the bowl out of my hands. "Go lay down." Then he left the room with the bowl.
I glanced over to Sunstreaker who was sitting on my bed and playing with Vivian. Since he was distracted with the Pitbull, this was the perfect opportunity to sneak out and help Sides. As I was tip-toeing out of my room, a hand wrapped around my wrist and stopped me. "Didn't my brother tell you to lay down?"
Shit, Sunstreaker caught me. "Yeah but he didn't say where," I commented and turned around to face him. That was the truth though; Sides didn't tell me where to lay down.
His face morphed to an expression saying he wasn't pleased with my comment. Sunstreaker pointed sternly to my bed across the room. "I'll tell you then, go lay down on your berth." I sighed in defeat and trudged over before face planting onto my bed.
The bed dipped down next to me. "Why are you acting like this?" I questioned, curious on his changed behavior. Sunstreaker didn't answer and kept to himself.
"Don't tell me you knocked her out?" Sides teased once he came back. Even though my face was buried into my blankets, I could the heated glare from the mech next to me.
"She's stubborn," was all he said about me. The red mech barked a laugh.
"You just figured that out. The moment I saw her, I knew she was trouble but that didn't stop me." Didn't stop him from what? What did he have up his sleeve?
"Yeah, I know that. Even though I told you I didn't want anything to do with her, you still went after her. Telling me that I won't regret this. Why though? Yes, she's fun to hang around with, sometimes. But why?" I guess that makes two of us.
"I see a little of us in her. A troubling past and wanting change."
"All of the Bots have a troubling past and want change."
"Yes, yes, you are right about that but she told me about some of her past. Did you know she has a brother? Or her creators are dead? And that she's jealous of how close you have grown towards Vivi? No, I didn't think so."
"You have seen how guarded she is, doesn't like showing weakness. Neither is she throwing out trust. But she trusted me enough to tell me about her jealously and her family," Sides continued.
"You know my distaste for humans."
"I do but you need to trust me on this one. I think she even likes us more than friends." Sunstreaker sighed and moved slightly next to me.
"Fine, I hate you sometimes."
"No you don't, you love me!" I let a smile grow on my lips of the two bickering with each other before drifting off into sleep.
