It was early in the morning and the scrapyard was quiet. In one particular area slept a red mech and white mech huddled close together.
Jazz was still sitting how he sat last night, near the head of the berth, except at some point in the night Sideswipe put his right arm around Jazz neck, holding him close with his face nuzzled in his neck.
Jazz was the first to awaken, visor shining brighter. The first thing he felt was tiredness of last night and remembered meeting Bumblebee's team. Then he felt someone hugging his neck from behind. Jazz slowly lifted his head, and also remembered saying to Bumblebee he would be bunking with Sideswipe. He then realised who was hugging him. Jazz turned his head opposite of where the arm was coming from. Sideswipe had his face nuzzled in the back of Jazz's neck, and he noticed how adorable Sideswipe looked, it was a bit awkward but it felt warm and it made his spark beat faster.
Sideswipe started to stir out of his recharge and slowly retracted his arm away. Jazz felt a twinge of disappointment from the missing warmth, but brushed it aside. Sideswipe sat up with a huff. He turned his head and his optics shot up in surprise "Jazz!?" He exclaimed "W-what are you doing here?" Sideswipe asked warily with a stutter.
"Bee said since I came here unexpectedly, there wasn't an extra berth, so I told him I would bunk with you." Jazz explained, glancing at Sideswipe, smirking.
"Bunk? Wait, did you sleep on the floor?" He sat at the edge of his berth beside Jazz, looking at him incrediciosly. Jazz nodded. There was a small pause, "Why didn't you wake me up? I could've at least put something on the floor so you could lay down." Sideswipe mumbled the last part.
"I didn't want to wake ya," Jazz said nonchalantly as he stood up. He stretched his arms in front of himself and swung them a little. "And you looked too cute to wake up." He said like it was a fact. Sideswipe blushed a light blue at that comment and turned his head away in embarrassment. Jazz noticed this and smiled thinking Sideswipe was adorable when he was flustered. "I wonder if Bee and the others are up." This made Sideswipe recover himself and stood up and walked ahead of Jazz.
"If they are then they'll be at the Alchemor." Sideswipe said as he swung his arms back and forth like Jazz did. As he walked toward the Alchemor Jazz optics drifted up and down Sideswipes body, and wondered about gracing his servos al- Jazz stopped himself from thinking that far and shook his head in amusement of what he was thinking, following Sideswipe where the others supposedly were.
When they arrived at the Alchemor everybody was awake, ready to start the day. Jazz felt a little guilty for making them wait for them. "Sorry we're late Bee." Jazz said as he approached him. Fixit was working on the screens in front of him checking for any decepticon signals.
"Don't worry Jazz, I'm guessing you were tired from driving all the way here from your ship." Bee surmised.
"Heh, yeah."
"What's the plan today Lieutenant?" Strongarm asked, ready to start the day.
"Right," Bumblebee cleared his vocaliser "we're going to take turns doing some patrols near Crown City for any decepticons. Since it's been so quiet, I feel we should be prepared, so we're doing the patrols in pairs. Drift and I will go first, then Sideswipe and Jazz," Bumblebee looked slightly guilty and turned to Jazz "if that's okay with you," Jazz nodded and smiled, a confirmation that he didn't mind "okay, Strongarm you're in charge until we come back." Bumblebee said.
"Yes, sir" Strongarm saluted.
Bumblebee and Drift transformed and drove out of the scrapyard. Strongarm turned and walked toward Fixit to talk about searching for decepticons in a new area. Russell walked up to Jazz, he looked down at the human who asked "Why do you wear a visor, Jazz?"
Jazz just chuckled "Cause it looks cool. Also it makes me seem mysterious."
Russell laughed "I guess it does."
"Rusty! Breakfast!" Denny called to Russell who ran into the diner after saying goodbye to Jazz.
Sideswipe walked in front of Jazz, arms crossed in front of him. "If I remember, you challenged me to a fight yesterday."
"Heh, I guess I did. Let's see who wins this challenge kid." Jazz smirked as he started to walk to Sideswipe's training area.
"Don't call me 'kid'" Sideswipe grumbled as he walked beside Jazz.
"Hmm…," Jazz thought for a moment "no." Sideswipe sighed in annoyance.
In the training area Jazz and Sideswipe stretched as they prepared themselves. I can't get distracted by Jazz, for some reason he wants to test me, so I have to focus. Sideswipe thought to himself, especially because he keeps smirking at me like that, it's annoying and throwing me off!
Jazz on the other hand was looking forward to seeing how Sideswipe will fight. That's the whole reason why Jazz was smirking, because he wants to distract Sideswipe. And as other bots in the past said 'no one can resist Jazz's smile.' But he wants Sideswipe to fight with all he's got, so he has to fight for something. "Hey, Sideswipe want to make things interesting?"
Sideswipe raised an optical ridge in confusion but nodded "Sure."
"If I win, you have to do something for me, if you win I have to do something for you."
Sideswipe shrugged "Okay, deal. But I'm gonna win."
They stood in their stances staring each other down. Then they charged at each other. As one tried to punch, the other dodged, both trying to get the other down.
Then Jazz seized Sideswipe's wrist as he tried to punch him, and skillfully twisted Sideswipe's body so his back was pressed to Jazz's as he held both of his wrists tightly, all the while Sideswipe was struggling to get free. Jazz leaned forward to his audio and said in a hushed tone "Don't get cocky kid."
Sideswipe tensed as his spark was beating really fast right now. But he held himself together and let out a heavy vented "I'm n-not you're just being too confident." He said while struggling again to break free.
Jazz didn't miss the stutter and the heavy venting while Sideswipe was speaking. He smirked and increased the strength of his grip. Jazz leaned into Sideswipe's audio again "Oh? I'm being confident?" His lips almost pressed against his audio. Jazz noticed Sideswipe's servos were clenched into tight fists. Sideswipe struggled more but it didn't feel like he was really trying, looks like Jazz was able to distract him, he used one of his legs to trip Sideswipe up and fall to the ground. When Sideswipe was starting to get up, Jazz pointed a blaster in his face. He stared at the blaster, surprised. Jazz smiled with a mischievous glint in his visor. "I win."
