The movie that Sides chose had ended and in rolled the credits. I wasn't even paying any attention and didn't know what it was about. But he was happy so, that was that. Sunstreaker groaned next to me and sat up. Since I was somewhat in between them but mostly on top of them because that what's Sides wanted. When he moved, one of my 'main supports', I slipped down into his spot which was warm.
Sides took the opportunity, wrapped his arms around me, and pulled me towards him. I was pressed against his chest with his face buried into the crook of my neck. "I'm so glad that stupid piece of slag is over," Sunny grunted and climbed off the couch.
"Hey! It wasn't that bad, right Brey?" Sides questioned and kissed my shoulder. I shook my head to stay out of it. "What? I thought you loved me." His voice turned to a child whining for a toy they didn't get.
I sat up and forced him to release his hold on me. "That's not wha- never mind. Come on, it's nice outside. We should enjoy it." I turned the situation from a fight and got off the couch to stand by Sunstreaker.
The gears inside his head were spinning before an idea came to mind. Sides sat up and gave me the puppy dog eyes. Uh oh, what was he thinking? "Could you give us wash?" That was the question I half expected to come from him.
"Maybe, I was thinking about cleaning out the barn in the back," I offered and heard the familiar whimper from the dogs. They were out there for all of the movie, hopefully they didn't dig any holes. One of those many holes, I nearly broke my ankle by falling into one of them.
Confusion was written all over their faces as I strolled over to the door and let the dogs in. Both of them went to their favorite holoform. "Why would you need to clean the barn?" Sunny questioned and turned to me.
A smirk graced my lips as I contemplating on telling them. That barn was in good condition but needs some TLC and has some big pieces that I wouldn't be able move by myself. Plus having more hands/servos would help get this new project moving. "I want to give you guys a safe place to transform. I want to be with the real yous. So if I get the barn cleaned up, you guys will have more than enough room to transform and move around."
Both of them turned to me, compassion filling their eyes. "The only place you can is at the base and that's not fair to you guys. You two are my guardians and are stuck to my side and I feel bad for you guys to be unable-" I was interrupted by Sides who stood up and shut me up with a kiss.
It had surprised me but nether the less, I embraced it and rested my arms on his shoulders. Sides pulled away after a few seconds. "Don't feel bad. We chose this, we knew what the restrictions were going to be. We don't care about having a place to transform safely. All we want is to be with you."
"Well, I'm still going to clean out the barn for you two. I'll request your help though."
"Then let's gets to work then. We only have about eight hours or so to get some things done," Sunstreaker spoke up. I placed my arms back at my sides and nodded to agree with Sunny. A reminder came to mind before we left my house, treat them both equal and don't favor one over the other.
I pecked him on the lips a little nervous and took a step towards the door. In return, he smiled and gazed at me from the corner of his eye. We left my house and headed to the barn, ready to get to work. The dogs followed us to said place and stayed in between us to get as many pets as possible.
There was no lock on the front large, wooden doors since there's nothing inside worth stealing. Their alt. modes had followed through the yard and watched out for dog holes that covered the ground. The holoforms disappeared from sight and they transformed into their bi-pedal form. I watched, still amazed of the movement.
Sides elbowed his brother with a smirk and motioned down to me. "I know, we're gorgeous," he said smugly and placed a servo his chassis which was looking much better. Barely a scratch and it was hardly noticeable if you weren't truly looking for it. I rolled my eyes at his words and yanked open the old door.
It creaked in protest but gave away to my strength and revealed a nearly empty barn with only an old piece of farm equipment in here. This is not as bad as I thought it would be, the land owner must have taken all the rest out. There were more machines and an old Chevy truck that would have been fun to fix up.
"This wasn't actually as bad as I thought it would be. I have a large tarp in the garage so we can cover what that is once we get it outside. Think you guys can drag it to the back?" I locked the door with a small metal hook so they would stay open.
"Anything for you, sweetspark." Sides winked and ducked into the barn since the doors aren't tall enough for them. "Just watch and learn how to please the femmes, Sunny." I couldn't help but chuckle and shake my head at his words.
The mech grabbed the machine and pulled lightly, believing it didn't weigh much. Boy, was he wrong. His brows furrowed in bewilderment and he gazed down at it. "Uh, give me a moment." Sides tugged on it again and only moved a mere couple of inches. "Heh, it's heavier than expected. I got this."
His brother shook his head and peered down at me with a knowing look. He gently leaned against the door frame to watch Sides fail. I laughed and left them to their own devices to go grab said tarp. The dogs left their companions behind and decided to trot next to me.
It was quick trip to the garage and back to the barn. The scene when I rounded the corner was more than funny, it was out right hilarious. Sides had somehow flipped the machine onto his leg and was stuck there with a pout covering his face. I had to use the outside wall of the house to support myself from how hard I was laughing.
Sides' pout only grew in size and he crossed his arms over his chassis which made it even more hilarious. Sunny was also laughing at his brother's misfortune and not helping him one bit. Hey, the mech was acting cocky and needed to be pushed down a few pegs. Well, he was acting a little more silly than cocky but you know what I mean.
"Not going to question what happened here," I said and somewhat calmed down my laughing to small outbursts. "Now, Sunny, could you help your brother get out of his stuck between a rock and a hard place?" I threw in a joke and strolled up to the two of them. The red mech gave me a tiny glare in retaliation and pouted even more by pushing his bottom lip out.
Sunny grunted at my words with some mumbling but followed through with my question. "Hey, don't complain. The last time I looked in here, it was filled to the brim with junk and you're getting a place to hang out in. So it's kind of a win-win situation."
Once his brother was free and could stand back up, the two dragged the machine to the back of the barn so it was out of the way. I threw the tarp over it for protection from the weather and headed back inside of the barn.
"Welp, this entire project was much smaller than I expect. So what do you guys wanna do?" I asked and leaned against the door frame while gazing up at the two. "We still have a few hours left of daylight."
The red mech placed a digit on his chin and put on a thinking face. He's going to do something that I'm not going to like, isn't he? What else did I expect? It was Sideswipe and known for doing stupid things for the fun of it. Specially to Hide, poor Ironhide and all the pranks played on him from what I have over heard from a few of the bots and soldiers.
He shrugged his shoulders then winced when he moved his injured one too much. "Sill not use to that." His words could barely be heard due to him saying them so quietly. "Anyway! Well, let's have some fun then. Go out for a drive? I'll even let you drive if you want Brey."
That actually wasn't as bad of an offer then I thought it would be. "Sure, but-" I pointed an accusing finger at him- "we are following speed limits and other rules of the road. I'm an officer of the law, remember?"
"Fine," he groaned and threw his head back. "I guess we could, only for you though. Not even Prowl can make us follow those stupid rules." I felt pride and confidence grow inside of my chest at his words. It's something to feel proud of, I was the only one to have them follow the rules.
I closed the large door after everyone, including the dogs, and secured the building. The two bots transformed elegantly into their alt. modes. My eyes were glued onto them nearly the entire time. How can you not stare at two beautiful vehicles and bots? You simple can't.
Kodiak and Vivian bounded over their favorite twin. The male dog licked at the door handle and begged to be let in. She on the other hand whimpered and pushed her snout against the shiny door. I could only cringe at the dog snot and slobber being wiped onto his clean exterior. He's probably have me clean, that could be seen in the foreseeable future.
Both of the twins raised their butterfly doors and allowed the dogs to join them. Who should I go with? Sides did invite me to ride with him. I'll spilt the ride time equal with both of them. Being with both of them was going to harder than I expected because I have to divide my time and affection to them equally.
The driver side door for Sides folded up and invited me to join him. I jogged over to him and sat down carefully on the leather seats. Said door moved back down into place and locked me with Sides.
Kodiak was sitting somewhat kindly in the passenger side seat and sticking his head out the window, ready to get this show on the road. I stroke the top of his head before grabbing onto the steering wheel. "You can handle me as rough as you want." I could hear the cheeky smirk in his voice when he said that.
Blood rushed to my face in reaction of his words. I elbowed the seat since that was the first to come to mind. "Sides!" I whined. Cheeky bastard.
His chuckled sounded all around me and he tightened the seatbelt. "What? I was only telling you what you can do." Sides tried to make himself sound so innocent but we all know he wasn't, including his brother. I sighed and before pulling out of my backyard and onto the gravel road.
My dog stood up in his seat and stuck his head out as far as he could. Behind us, Vivian was doing the same with Sunstreaker and looked like she was standing on the arm rest attached to the door. Dog, you're going to get me in so much trouble with him. There's no doubt in my mind that Sunny is going to make me clean both his interior and exterior. At least it wasn't really cold out, that was a plus.
"Vivian's going to get me in so much trouble with Sunny," I commented and pulled out onto the main road. Within a few moments we were up to the fifty MPH speed limit with wind rushing through Kodiak's fur.
Sides chuckled again and whooped at the sudden acceleration of speed. "Why is that? He likes her too much to be or get mad at her." That I could understand. Even I have a hard time telling her 'no' because of her adorable face.
A quick glance in the rearview mirror told me that Sunstreaker wasn't excepting me accelerating so quickly. Yet, he had no problem catching up, his engine revving in somewhat a challenging way. If only we were on a close circuit race track that is the only place that would be safe to let lose. "I'm on the fence right now," Sunstreaker's voice filtered through the speakers of his brother's alt. mode.
"Aww, why's that? I'll take her if you don't want her anymore." Sunstreaker gunned his engine and secretly told him 'no'.
"Her paws are getting dirt all over my interior and there's snot on my frame. But you're not having her. You got your own." Well, Sides was shot down quickly. "And, Squishie, you'll be the one to be cleaning my interior and frame after this little drive." Knew it, it was kind of suspected that was going to happen.
"Suspected that," I commented and took a right to head towards the main highway nearby.
The purr of his engine was relaxing and add a beautiful Lamborghini, you have yourself a perfect combo. "So, how are things going at the base? Should I be expecting another trip to the base anytime soon?" Seeing Sides lying in the Med. Bay with a large injury and was knocked out was scary. It was something I didn't want to go through again.
Not a sound came from him. Shit. Did I say something wrong? Am I not allowed to know about that stuff? I was only human and did put my nose where it doesn't belong. "Er, yeah, sorry about locking you in our berthroom."
"I'm not sorry. It was for your safety. You've had too many run-ins with the slagging Cons. We worry about your safety due to your run-ins. They seem to be slightly targeting you and we won't let them get you, over our cold, offline frames," Sunstreaker grunted.
"Hey, don't talk like that. I'm nothing compared to you guys. You tw-" Sides came to a screeching halt and gladly put a seatbelt around Kodiak so he didn't go flying. "What in th-" I was interrupted again by the same mech.
"Don't ever talk about yourself like that." His voice was extremely low and dangerous, fright taking over any emotion. "You aren't nothing, you're everything compared to us. Optimus considers you an Autobot, a true Autobot. Not one of the soldiers Lennox commands." The Boss Bot thinks me as a one of them? But I'm only human and the only damage I could do is put a couple of bullet holes in their frames.
"But-" this time Sunstreaker cut in.
"No if, and's, or but's. You mean the universe to us, that's part of the reason why we are taking things slow for you. You're an Autobot, there's no way around it. You're a higher rank then a human on this planet. So don't think so lowly of yourself."
Now, guilt filtered in. I forgot to really think before I spoke. Sometimes my mouth gets me in trouble when words start flying out without me putting a thought put into it. I shrunk down in the seat and sunk my head in between my shoulders. I need to remember they care about me and don't like me talking shit about myself. Well, I can still do it when alone or inside my mind. "I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking about my words.
Both of them pulled off of the road before any cars could come and didn't block the road either. "It doesn't make it right, at all. You still think about yourself that way," Sunstreaker grounded out.
Kodiak must have sensed my distress and turned around to comfort me. He pressed his cold nose against my hot face and licked me. I gently pushed his face away and made him face the other way. "That's how I grew up. My own mother put me down and I, of course, believed her. My dad was gone and my brother didn't want to get the mix either," I explained and crossed my arms over my chest subconsciously.
The red frontliner revved his engine dangerously and his speakers released a growl. "I'm done hearing about your creator doing stupid slag to you! Where is she so I can blast her with my cannon?" I decided not to speak for a few moments and let the situation build slightly.
"Dead. She was killed." I felt no remorse for my mother since she put herself into that situation. And she was barely nice to us any of the entire eighteen years we lived with her. I still respected her and didn't give her any grief but she still treated us poorly. It was her fault for doing it, Mama pushed us away and look where it got her. "She earned it though, she put herself through that, knew what it would cost her."
Silence took over all of us, none of us made a sound. It last a few long moments until Sunstreaker spoke up. "She got what she deserved. I would've liked to blast her into smithereens but at least she's offline and can't hurt you anymore." I decided to ignore him and somewhat changed the subject.
"That's why I ask of you to take it slow around me. The damage has been dealt and seems to be barely irreversible. That's why I speak of myself so lowly; I believe it every day because that's what my mama told me. God," I paused to leaned in back in the seat and throw my head back, " it's an every day struggle for me."
Tears welled up in my eyes. "I never really talked to anyone about what pain she caused me. I didn't realize how much I have hidden from everyone, how much I have buried to not even think about." I was defeated, my guard was down for both of them to see it.
Again, Kodiak sensed my depressive state growing and tried his way to get me to be happy again. I wasn't in the mood to deal with him and pushed him away. "Brey," Sides softly called out and the seatbelt tightened in a reassuring way. "If you ever need to talk about any of your problems, past or present, we are here for you."
His holoform appeared in the backseat and grabbed my hand. Sides intertwined our fingers together and looked straight into my eyes, confidence and reassurance filling his. "We are here for you. To the end of the line. Our loyalty is to you, not even Optimus could overrule that. Because we love with all of our sparks," they stated unison. It sounded a tiny bit creepy but nethertheless sweet to me.
This time the tears fell slithered down my face and dropped down onto my lap. These tears for a different reason though. My affection for both of them has been growing ever since we had met. Maybe, I didn't know but that small spark was there, expanding in size.
"You don't, of course, have to return our feelings. We just felt the need to expression the-" I had enough of Sides' rambling and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt then pulled him close to my face. Surprise and shock covered his features and it would probably grow for what I do next. I smashed my lips on his.
Sides, immediately, melted into the kiss and allowed me to take control yet grabbed my ponytail for some sneaky reason. I drew a groan out of him after biting his lip and pulled away, opening my eyes and releasing my hold on his shirt. His eyes fluttered opened. He gazed at me in a dazed state and licked his slightly plump lips. After reading a few books, you learn a handful from said books.
"I-uh… wow, I…" he trailed off, unable to form a complete sentence. To say that I wasn't scared of them anymore was a lie, but that fear will never go away and forever be stuck to me. I'm trying to get over it and let the other, happier emotions take over. That included romantic emotions and feelings.
I winked at him before stepping out of his alt. mode and strolling over Sunstreaker. The mech seemed to be getting on his last string of patience and out appeared his holoform. I let my emotions take the wheel as he hooked his arm behind me and pressed his lips against mine. It was a clear sign he was the one in control and maybe I could live with that, just maybe.
Sunstreaker then pressed me against the hood of his alt. mode, lips still moving against each other. "I've waited too long to do this," he mumbled against my lips and grasped a fistful of my hair in his hand. My ponytail already falling apart because of another mech.
Air for me was getting low and I had to gently push him away to gasp a breath of oxygen. Two moments later, he was attacking my lips again and trailing open mouth kissing down my neck. Here and there, he would scrap his teeth purposely against my throat to gain a groan from me. I wasn't complaining though and was taking it all in.
Is this what love felt like? Something I thought as a fairytale from the beginning? If it was, then I want as much I could take. It was an amazing feeling. These two, I trusted nearly entirely and that wasn't something I would do to anyone.
He sucked hard on the crook of my neck and drew out a moan from me. There had to be a large handful of hickies covering my neck by now from how much he was sucking. Again, no complaints here.
The golden frontliner pulled away and gazed down to probably admire all that he done to my poor neck. A cocky smirk grew on his lips. He pecked my bruised lips once more before straightening his stance and offering me a hand. I took his offer and was raised to my jello like legs. He wrapped his arms around me softly and brought me close to him. "I'm glad you've accepted us."
A smile graced my lips and I leaned into his hold, most needing it because of my legs but he doesn't need to know that. "Me too. I can do this, it'll be bumpy in the beginning but I can figure out how to divide my time and affection with both of you equally, I promise."
"You don't have to worry about that. We're spark-spilt and can feel what the other is feeling if Sides let's me." Sunny helped me to his alt. mode and deactivate his holoform. The butterfly door folded down into place. Vivian was sitting happily in her seat, tail wagging and ears pushed forward. "And don't complain, Sides, it's my turn to drive her around."
"Wasn't even going to say a word." It sounded like he was telling the truth. With that, we head back to the road. Sunny in control of the wheel since I was still dazed after the intense make-out session and it was our first one! What else did the mech have up his sleeve?
