So they're officially dating now! There are a lot of different ways I could have done that bit but I figured embarrassing both of them until they were forced to admit stuff that they couldn't take back was the best way lol. I DO NOT OWN TRANSFORMERS!
Sunny left the next day and I had to make due with hanging out with Sideswipe which was still fun, and dealing with having the other bots come to watch over me when those two were gone. During the week Arcee had come to watch over me, then Ironhide, and even Chromia on the last day. So I didn't get to see him until the weekend.
I did however talk to him over the comm. link every day which was an interesting occurrence to say the least. Half the time he didn't really talk much, other times he got frustrated that I talked too much, and the rest of the time he dealt with being on the receiving end of my anger when he acted like an aft. So yeah interesting to say the least.
On a more positive note Bee and I had been hanging out a bit more while Sam was with Mikeala making out in his room. We watched movies, used the comm. link to talk, annoyed Ironhide and Sam, and listened to music. I could see him becoming like a big brother to me.
Another thing that happened was Uncle Ron ungrounding me! That meant that I was finally allowed to go and hang out with Mikeala after school on Thursday! I honestly hadn't known what to expect while hanging out with her but we ended up listening to music while she showed me how to fix cars. I found that I liked digging around in the engine of an old car! Of course she laughed when I had made a comment about liking fixing cars because I was technically a baby car. We had a hay day after that.
Other than that I had to deal with my opi questioning me over the bond about Trent, and what had happened with Sunstreaker and I. Apparently Sides had gone back to base and the first thing that he had done was announce our relationship to everyone and by that I meant everyone. Now everyone knew, thus the reason that I had not only been interrogated by my opi, but by Ironhide and Chromia as well. I could only imagine what they were putting Sunny through on base.
I got my answer that Friday when Chromia took me to the base. Sunstreaker was nowhere to be found at first, and no matter how hard I looked I could not find him. It was not until after my first servo to servo combat training with Chromia that I found him. Or more like he found me and snatched me up from behind making me squeak in surprise as we raced down the halls so fast that the colors blurred. Which is where I was right now in fact.
I found myself being carted into the twins' room and sat down on the metal couch. Sideswipe was strangely not present at the moment but if I knew Sunstreaker that was no coincidence. He sat down beside me quietly, putting a small amount of space between us.
He seemed to struggle with himself for a moment before speaking. "So how was...training with Chromia?"
I perked up, happy that he was making an effort at all. "Well...it was ok. She was a lot harder on me than I was hoping for but I guess it's to be expected. I still have a lot to learn, and not much time to really learn it." On top of a bunch of sore spots and forming bruises to show for her brutality. I kept that to myself though since I didn't want to whine and annoy him.
He only grunted in agreement.
So he wasn't exactly going to be more eloquent just because I was his femmefriend, not that I expected a huge change in him. At least he was sitting here trying to have a conversation with me. For Sunstreaker it was the effort and not necessarily the end results that mattered the most. It didn't really matter that it made things kind of awkward. "I umm looked for you when I got here but couldn't find you."
He didn't say anything.
The words, 'are you ok' almost left my mouth, but for some reason they cut off before I could utter them. For some reason I didn't know if he would react well to my inquiring to his wellbeing. So I didn't say anything to him. I just sat there next to his leg letting the silence encompass us. If quiet was what he wanted I could try my best to give it to him. Even if it was the opposite of how I normally acted.
The only thing I did do was scoot a bit closer to his leg seeking out the warmth he exuded. His optics shot down to me due to the movement but otherwise we both stayed silent.
I didn't want to push him, that much I was sure of. At least for now...that was saying nothing about when the silence got to me and made me do something stupid.
Close to ten minutes passed without a peep spoken between us. I was busy counting all the grooves in Sunstreaker's armor to entertain myself, and he was just alternating between staring ahead and watching me.
"You're never this quiet femme."
My head snapped up, counting forgotten momentarily. "Huh?"
He snorted. "I said you're never quiet for this long femme."
Oh I guess he was right. "Well you seemed like you wanted quiet, so I figured that I could be silent for once."
A deep frustrated sigh escaped him. "I don't really know how to react to you when you're not annoying me." He admitted quietly.
"So you want me to annoy you?"
His mouth snapped shut so fast I heard his denta crack together. Well how was that for an answer to my question? I giggled and climbed up onto his lap to sit against his abdominal plating. Turning a bit I sat so that I was able to look up at him without straining my neck, this position allowing me to see his frustrated scowl. "Relax Sunny, I promise not to intentionally annoy you right now."
He growled most likely because of the nickname. "Femme if Sideswipe can't call me than you can't either."
I pouted. "Sides calls you that either way! Besides you call me baby sometimes so why can't I give you a nickname?"
His servo came down to wrap around me as he scowled and snapped. "Because it's a sparkling name!" Aww he was so cute when he was cuddling me and getting angry at me for calling him Sunny!
If it hadn't been for the fact that he would get even more angry at me I probably would have squealed at just how cute it really was. But I didn't do that. "How about Streaker? Sure it technically is how earthlings refer to people who get naked and run through public places but it's better than being called Sunny right?" When he frowned I sighed. "One of those two...please?"
"Are you going to let it drop if I say nothing?" He challenged.
"Noooo." I giggled and rubbed my cheek against his plating before burying my face in it embarrassedly. Through the thick glossy plating I could feel the soft relaxed revving of his engine as it purred and I buried my face more into it causing the vibrations to tickle my face.
"Well I'd rather not be referred to with a nickname that is given to those humans who run around in their protoform in public."
I perked up pushing my blush down so that I could meet his optics. "So Sunny it is!"
He gave me an exasperated look but otherwise let it go. I was thankful for this because I really did like the nickname and would probably end up using it without even meaning to. Our optics met, him watching me as I held his gaze and pressed a shy kiss against his lower stomach plating. A blush rose to my cheeks for the millionth time since I had met him and Sideswipe causing me to finally break our gaze and look down at my lap bashfully.
One of his digits slipped beneath my chin and forced me to look up as another slipped around to cup me and lift me up towards his face. His optics locked with mine, digit still making me hold my gaze till finally he leaned in and kissed me.
His kiss was dominating and harsher than the others we had shared so far. I was sure that my lips would be swollen and bruised afterwards but I didn't let the thought or the subsequent embarrassment distract me from trying my best to kiss him back. Smooth warm metal moved languidly against my own soft warm lips causing that amazing electric current to zap straight through me. A soft moan vibrated through our connected mouths courtesy of me of course. Embarrassment welled up inside of me but when I let it get to me and tried to pull back he placed his palm on the back of my head and forced me to stay there.
And then the tempo and pace of his mouth increased almost angrily. His glossa slid from his metal lips and forced itself into my mouth to lap at my small tongue before I could stop it. I whimpered as warmth spread through my body like an inferno. My hands came up to splay across his cheeks as I tried desperately to keep up. But damn it felt good even if I was practically hyperventilating. Even my embarrassment was starting to ebb away under the rush of heat filling me.
I never expected him to be the type to just scoop me up when he wanted and kiss me senseless. But in hindsight I should have known because Sunstreaker did what he wanted when he wanted and at his own pace. Really I should have expected it from him in a relationship as well.
"Well well well look at what I found! Primus Sunny let poor little Clare breathe!" Sideswipe's voice boomed across the expanse of the almost silent room.
With an embarrassed shriek I tore myself away from Sunny and buried my face into his neck cables. One of his servos cupped me so that I wouldn't fall as he growled at his twin.
"Aren't you supposed to be on patrol right now?" Sunny practically hissed. The tension and frustration was practically radiating off of him in waves.
The couch was jostled when Sides threw himself onto it. "Nope! I lucked out and Arcee got stuck running patrol with Hide and Chromia. So I came to see what my favorite minibot, who happens to be dating my twin, was up to!"
Something chose that moment to poke me in the back making me squeak. "Sides stop it!" I whined into Sunny's neck cables. Primus this was so embarrassing that I couldn't even look at him!
There was a loud clang before Sides yelped. "What the frag was that for?!"
"Just shut your trap Sides!"
Hesitantly I peeked over at Sides to see him rubbing his helm with his optics still trained on me. I raised a brow at him and sat up more so that we could clearly see each other. His face morphed into a wide grin. "What is that look for?"
"Making out already huh?" He teased me.
"SIDES SHUT UP!" I cried out as my face broke out into yet another furious blush. "Gosh you're so embarrassing Sides!"
"Awww Clare!" He scooted closer to me and cooed at me softly. "And to think you got so embarrassed a few days ago when I forced you to wear that skimpy bikini. Now here you are swapping mouth lubricant with Sunny."
I stammered unitelligently for a moment. "Did you come here just to tease me?"
"No. I came here to tell you that Jazz is looking for you and can't find you because you blocked the bond...for good reason." He shot us both a mischievious look. "Anyways he wants you to report to the med bay asap."
For a moment I just stared at him contemplating whether he was being truthful before deciding that the best course of action was to actually ask opi directly. I located the link between Jazz and I and opened it. [Opi?]
Surprise and a sense of longing hit me. [Ah've been tryin ta find ya all day sparklet! Where've ya been?]
[With Sunny. Sides did say that you needed to see me in the med bay. Do I need another processor upgrade?]
[No. Ratchet an' ah wanted ta run some other things by you. Where are ya? Ah'll come an' getcha.]
[In the twins room. I'll meet you halfway.]
A feeling of disgruntlement hit me. [Ah'right. Ah'll see ya in a klik or so.]
[OK.] Dulling the bond down a bit I leaned up and patted Sunny's face plate to make him stop glaring at Sideswipe. His optics shot down to me curiously. "I need to go and meet opi. Can you sit me down please?"
He nodded and leaned forward on the couch to place me on the ground. His large servo lingered on my face in a gentle parting caress which I leaned into placing my small hand over his.
"Do you want me to come back afterwards? Or do you want to hang out with Sides alone?"
Sides butted in before Sunny could say anything. "We want you to come back of course! How are you and Sunny supposed to bond as a couple and partake in mouth action when you're apart?"
"SIDES!" We shouted at the same time. Said bot only grinned.
With a huff I hurriedly pulled back after nuzzling Sunny's palm briefly. "I'll comm. you after I'm done and if you want me to come back I will ok?"
"Ok..." He looked like he wanted to say something else but at Sides' knowing look thought better of it.
"Ok. I'll talk to you both later." Turning on my heel I left the room starting in the direction of the med bay. While I walked my thoughts kept drifting to Sunny, to us kissing. It made me giddy to think about. I started bouncing in time with each step, faintly humming under my breath.
Being with him was so much better than I had expected. He was gruff yet sweet, rough with his touches but at the same time he could be so gentle with me. It was amazing. Not even a week in and I was completely infatuated with him. A soft sigh escaped me.
"What'cha sighin for sparklet?"
I looked up at the approaching figure of my opi and ran towards him to jump into his arms. He knelt down and caught me before spinning me around making me laugh. When he finally stopped he raised an optic ridge over his visor. "I was just thinking about how different things have been lately."
"Wit' Sunny? Or in general."
"Both."
"Ahhh." He hummed as he carried me to the med bay. "Ah heard 'bout Sunny an' you datin. Not sure ho' ah feel 'bout mah sparklin datin right afta ah got ta bond wit' her."
I giggled at his protectiveness. "I would never forget about spending time with you opi. In fact I would spend more time with you if you weren't always so busy... Maybe I should go and badger Optimus to let us have a family day out on the town?" That idea sounded like a good one to me! And maybe I should try and get one for Sunny and I as well.
He smiled softly. "Maybay. Dunno if 'e woul' let meh take one no' since we're pretty short handed, but maybay after mo'e bots start comin in?"
"Maybe. Are more coming?"
"We haven' detected any'hing yet, but dere shoul' be mo'e comin in sometime. Hopefully sooner rather den latta." At that point we strolled into the med bay where Ratchet was waiting with what to be several data pads in his servos.
I just stared at him as Jazz hopped up onto a berth nearest to him, "Hi Ratchet! Did you get more stuff to make me read?"
He scowled at me. "No femme this is a different matter entirely."
Well that shut me up. I stared at him in confusion.
"Jazz and I decided that it was time to discuss several important matters with you, the first being potential modifications to your frame to aid you in various tasks. Now we know that you have an electromagnetic disruptor, which you appear to have been born with. However modifications like Jazz's electromagnetic manipulator can be integrated into a bot's frame. There are many different kinds that can be added, some of which require only a specialized processor upgrade, and others that require actual surgery to add certain key parts. Now modifications are not something that you need, however they can be exceedingly helpful in difficult situations. The main reason that we called you here was to discuss whether or not you would be interested in having any added."
I immediately started bouncing in Jazz's lap excitedly. "I can actually have more added? How many can I have?"
"Well the amount that can be implimented depends on several things, spark strength and size, frame size, and processor capacity. As you know a bot needs to have the processor capacity to utilize multiple things at once, as well as storing important programming pertaining to each mod. Frame size is important if you have modifications that are actually added to the frame such as Ironhide's cannons. Obviously if you were modified with cannons that size you would most likely harm yourself trying to fire them."
Obviously. "Ok so...wait I have skin and stuff too! Shouldn't there be a lot of mods that I can't use?"
"Your skin itself is a specialized modification." Ratchet informed me. "Think of it like a camoflague of sorts, only it can be taken off and reapplied at will. It was actually another reason that I wanted to bring you here so that we may teach you how to take your real bot form."
"Real bot form? I have one?" Why was I kind of scared to see what I looked like as a bot. What if I was ugly? What if I forgot how to turn back into my human form?
"Of course you do! You're a pretender type bot, thus your nanites can change their matter to form armor or skin depending on your needs."
OMG! "Why didn't anyone say something about that sooner?"
Ratchet raised an optic ridge at me. "Because I just finished getting around to taking a more in depth look at your scans now that I am not so busy. Before I was unsure whether you could change forms, now I am positive that you can."
"Is that the thing on my HUD that says TCOG sequences?" I asked curiously. In all honesty I had briefly seen those words and, not feeling brave enough to test it on my own had left it alone.
Both mechs gave me surprised looks. "Why yes that would be the one."
Cool! So if I pulled the TCOG sequence up...and randomly clicked one something cool should happen! Without even taking a moment to think about what would happen I pulled up the TCOG screen and chose something titled Transformation sequence one. What was the worst that could happen right?
The first thing I registered immediately after activating it was a blinding flash in my optics followed closely by the feeling of cold air instantaneously hitting every part of my body. Between one breath and the next a strong shock hit me followed by a warming sensation blocking out the cold air. It was kind of weird and that was that best way that I could describe it.
[Wow...]
I could feel the awe emanating from my adoptive opiluck, it prompted me to open my eyes only they made a small shuttering sound instead of silently opening. The first thing I saw were my hands, fingers now longer and pointed at the end with sharp silver claws for fingertips. I held them up in front of me and bent them curiously digging the clawed tips into my palm, but not enough to draw blood...er energon.
My eyes...optics drifted down further over the smooth silver, lighter than Jazz's own hue, plating. It was not protoform that much I knew from what Ratchet had made me read about Cybertronian anatomy. So that meant that it was armor, smooth and rounded plates covering me and curving in feminine places. My marks were present on my left side as usual, shining through from the protoform like they were seered into my actual armor. I wondered why that was.
I looked further down to my feet, peds, and they were similar to my hands...servos, claws at the end of each toe. They flexed when I wanted them to showing small breaks in the armor that were hardly noticable. Wow was right!
Something twitched on top of my helm causing me to reach up and cup whatever it was. My servos wrapped around sleek antennas that curved back over my helm causing them to twitch in my servos.
I pulled myself up hearing the faint and barely distinguishable sound of my hydraulic system hissing. Standing on my peds I looked at Ratchet excitedly. "Do I look ok? I wanna see a picture of myself!"
Ratchet's optics dimmed as he took a still photo and sent it to me.
The file pinged on my HUD. I hastily opened it and stared at the image of myself on the screen. No part of me looked really human besides my shape, and facial structure. I was a pristine silver accentuated by sleek curves just like I normally had only they seemed more distinguished this time, my markings stood out against the light color of my frame circling all the way up to the top of my helm. My face was made up of higher cheek bones though they weren't so sharp that they made me look like a witch, and my optics were almond shaped in the same color as my normal ones. Only they seemed to glow like the other bots.
"Whoa! This is so cool!" I squealed running in circles around the berth.
"Clare please settle down so that we may discuss any modifications that you may be interested in."
I stalled then flopped down on my aft instantly. "Okey dokey then!"
Jazz laughed at me while Ratchet sighed tiredly. "Ok Clare, Jazz and I have comprised a list of mods that would be useful for your size and build and compiled them in a data pad for you to look at." He handed it to me so that I could look at it.
Which I did with haste! My optics quickly scrolled down the screen over the various mods displayed there, warping which noted that I would need an actual extensive surgery to use so I discarded that one even if it sounded cool, electromagnetic manipulation which I was very interested in, electric solidification and manipulation which was another that I filed into the maybe pile, and a shit tone more. Those three were the only ones that really stood out though. "Electro hands!"
Jazz chuckled at me. "Dat's mah sparklet."
"Electromagnetic manipulation then?" Ratchet questioned.
"Yup...and maybe the electric solidification! If I can have both."
"It is best to do one at a time just to see how your systems handle it." Ratchet took the datapad back from me and sat it down on the desk. "For now I need to gather the necessary items for the procedure which will consist of me adding magnetic plating to your servos, as well as the programming to control the wavelengths."
"Can I have it in my peds too?"
"Perhaps. First let us work on your servos to see how it takes."
"Ok!" I chirped while poking at my armor distractedly.
He nodded.
"Ok so what else?"
The look on Ratchet's face suddenly turned to one of hesitation. "Well Clare...the second thing that I wished to discuss with you was...our intimate acts."
My jaw dropped. "WHAT?!" My optics shot towards the door before I leapt up to make a break for it. I didn't make it very far before being scooped up by Jazz and forced to sit down on the berth again. "NO RATCHET! YOU ALREADY TOLD ME ABOUT ROBO SEX!"
He scowled. "I only told you the basics of physical interfacing femme. I did not explain mating, sparking, or carrying."
"Sparking? What's that?" As soon as the words were out of my mouth I snapped it shut. IDIOT! WHY DID I EVEN ASK THAT?!
"Sparking is when two bots interface with their sparks. This works by opening the spark chamber and pressing sparks together, at which point they temporarily merge to stimulate the bot sexually. It feels every bit as good as interfacing, however more than just sexual pleasure comes from it. Two bots that wish to mate would spark with the intent to form the sparkbond before interfacing."
OMG! I shrunk back away from Ratchet fearfully.
"However you must love your partner deeply and have the desire to be sparkmates for the bond to establish itself."
I nodded weakly. Ok so this was not what I was expecting when I came to the med bay.
"Next we should broaden your knowledge on physical interfacing seeing as you now have a possible partner to partake in it with."
Damn you Sideswipe I cursed mentally! He had to go and tell everyone on base that Sunny and I were a thing and now I was being subjected to more robosex talk! Argh! I was so going to get him back for this later!
"Now I told you the basics of physical interfacing, what I did not tell you was the internal mechanics of it. Now as I have already informed you a mech has a spike, and a femme has a valve which the spike is inserted into. Now a femme's valve contains ports, and a mech's spike is comprised of cables that insert into both the external port and internal ports causing additional stimulation during interfacing."
"What?! Cables are going to be stuck in my girl bits? OH MY GOD!" THIS WAS SO DISTURBING!
He didn't even bother giving me an exasperated look for that comment. "Yes that is how it works. Now the cables plug into the internal and external ports causing additional stimulation. The valve produces an electrically conductive lubricant that also causes additional stimulation for both parties. The mech's central piston will move in time with the mech's thrusts to stimulate ports and cables during the coupling. A static charge is built up from the friction, and this is what causes an overload."
I shuddered which made my plates clack together obnoxiously. "Ok...Ok I understand."
"Sparking and physical interfacing are both required to form a completed sparkbond."
"Ok." I gulped which sounded weird in this form, like a far more pronounced squelching sound.
"Now two intended mates need to have a proper spark wavelength to one another to spark, thus this is also required to bond. You will know if another bot has a proper wavelength depending on how your sparks react to one another. If you feel your spark literally pull you towards another bot then it means you could have a proper spark wavelength."
"Will that happen right away?"
"No. You must spend enough time in another bot's presence to align your spark with their's. Then if there is a proper spark wavelength between the two sparks it can be felt."
"An' den da sparking an' interfacing comes afta. If ya wanna mate dat is." Jazz informed me helpfully.
I nodded carefully. "Ok so is that all I need to know?"
"No. You also need to know about carrying."
"But the Allspark is gone so I can't get sparked right? So why tell me about it if it can't ever happen?"
Ratchet scowled at me. "We may find a way to have sparklings some other way in the future so you do need to know! Especially since you are a carrier, thus carrying the sparklings is your job."
"Ok jeez I got it!" Gosh I guess we know who woke up on the wrong side of the bed! "Lay it on me Ratch!"
"Do not call me that." He growled. "As for creating sparklings there is more required to it than just contact with the Allspark. A carrier must be carrying the transfluid containing the genetic coding of a mech inside of them, then they must receive a proper spark charge from the Allspark to become sparked."
I furrowed my optics ridges in confusion. So you needed to have a mech's jizz in you then you had to go and get a proper spark charge from the Allspark to create a sparkling? Why didn't Primus or whatever just give them the ability to have the proper spark charge on their own? Cause now every Cybertronian in the universe was screwed if they ever wanted a family.
"After becoming sparked the carrier's spark and the spark of the sparkling are connected until the sparkling's spark is matured enough to split and sink into the gestation chamber. From there it will grow a protoform from the nanites and unused parts of its carrier. This process takes roughly two earth years, then the sparkling is birthed the same way that a human baby is born."
"Ok. So what happens if the carrier is really small compared to the mech? Would the sparkling be too big to be birthed normally?" The image of me knocked up and looking as big as a freaking bloated whale crossed my mind then. I cringed. Yeah how about no? I never wanted to get that big! That and it looked like it would be very painful.
Ratchet shook his helm. "No the size of the carrier dictates the size of the sparkling at birth. If the sparkling was too big the carrier's internal systems would be crushed during gestation, that and they would be too big for the carrier to see them through their emergence. So for you any sparklings you have would be very small so that you could birth them and carry them in your sparkling hold."
"Sparkling hold?"
"The sparkling hold is a special compartment in the chassis where sparklings can be carried safely. Mechs and femmes have a sparkling hold so that they can carry their sparklings."
"Ok. So what is Cybertronian pregnancy like?" Hopefully it wasn't like human pregnancy with all the puking and mood swings...
"Similar to human pregnancy."
I had to think that...
"A carrier would experience unease in the tanks, mood swings caused by strain on the internal systems in particular the emotional core, aches, and an increased need for interface with their mech partner."
Ok so exactly like human pregnancy. Good thing it would never happen to me.
"And that femme is what you need to know about interfacing, sparking, and carrying."
"So can I go now? I want to show Sides and Sunny my new form!"
Ratchet made a shooing motion. "Yes get out of my med bay! Next time you come to the base I will need to perform your procedure to add your desired modifications."
"Ok!"
Jazz lifted me up and toted me out of the med bay towards the living quarters. "Ya look really pretty in yo'r real form sparklet." He stated conversationally. "Betta den pretty actually."
My cheeks heated up in an other blus only this one was a pretty shade of blue not purple. "You're just saying that."
"Naw ah'm no'. Ah bet Sides an' Sunny will say da same t'ing too. Jus' wait an' see."
Well given Jazz and Ratchet's reactions I was a little scared of what the twins would think. But there was no escape for me when Jazz stopped in front of the twins door and opened it. "Hey twins! Wanna see some'hin cool?"
In a flash I was set on my peds just as both mechs turned in our direction. Both sets of optics widening when they landed on me. I waved shyly at them. "Ummm look at what I learned how to do!" I looked down at my peds distractedly. A soft push against my back almost made me stumble and fall. Instead I took several unwilling steps forward to keep myself from falling. "Opi!" I whipped around to yell at him only to find him gone. What the?!
[Ah had ta go talk ta Optimus 'bout some'hin important. It may take a while so ah'll open da bond an' contact ya when ah'm ready ta come an' getcha.]
[Ok. Talk to you later.] After that we dulled our bond down a bit.
Keeping my helm down I slowly inched towards the couch feeling their optics still watching my every move. I moved around to the front where their legs were so that I could tap on Sunny's leg to get him to lift me onto the couch. His servos wrapped around me gently lifting me up so that he could sit me between him and Sides. Ok this was kind of awkward since I was too embarrassed to say anything and they were too busy staring at me to say anything either.
My optics drifted up towards Sunny first finding him still staring at me just as intensely. My gaze slowly shifted to find Sides doing the same thing. I frowned suddenly feeling self conscious about myself. "Do I look weird or something?"
That seemed to snap them out of it. "No of course not." Sides hurried to reassure me. "You look...well you look..."
"Beautiful..." Sunny breathed finishing his twin's sentence for him.
I ducked my helm down fidgeting nervously in my seat. That may have been the nicest thing that Sunny had ever said to me and it just made my insides flutter like crazy. My spark especially sped up until it was hammering in my chassis. I clutched at my shapely chassis feeling the spark racing underneath.
It jumped when I felt myself being picked up and placed onto a gold lap. I made a soft cooing sound like a dove would make as I was situated so that I was propped up and facing Sides while Sunny cradled me with his left arm. He didn't seem afraid to touch me at all anymore, probably because I was now covered in metal as well and thus would not smudge his paint. Even so I was kind of surprised that he was being so cuddly when Sides was here when he seemed to not like being affectionate around others. Not that I was going to pull away from him and question it because he was being so cute and lovable.
Soft digits ran up and down my back as a husky growl shook both of our frames. I looked up catching heated optics watching me so intensely it made me shudder as a jolt of warmth shot straight through me. That was the first moment that I noticed that at some point Sides had vacated the room. I was confused for a moment but it was swiftly cut off when I was pulled into yet another forceful kiss.
I struggled to open my comm. link as my lips were massaged with bruising force. :Sides where did you go?:
:I wanted to give you two some privacy so I'll see you later.: He abruptly cut the link.
The tone of his voice seemed sad, frustrated even. It made me feel guilty that he thought he had to leave us so that we could do things without him. For once twin was supposed to always be included in what the other twin was doing. I know that Sunny was awkward around others so the reason for the action was clear. Still...I wish that he didn't have to do that. But since Sunny seemed to be the one to actually show his interest, Sides' flirting did not necessarily count since I had seen him flirt with Arcee and Flareup before, I guess Sunny was the only one that I would be with.
Not that it was a bad thing when he could make me feel like this with something as small as a kiss. Well to me it was still a big thing cause I wasn't used to kissing, but to him it was probably not that big of a thing.
He tilted my helm to the side and slipped his glossa past my lips to lap at mine. Blushing for what must have been the billionth time that day I hesitantly brushed mine back against his. His spicy metallic flavor burst across my own glossa forcing a shudder to race through me.
When one of his servos slid down to cup around my aft that was when I pulled away and looked down shyly. "Sunny I don't know ummm if I'm ok with being touched more than this yet." I admitted quietly as I pushed his servo away and leaned forward onto his chassis.
I expected some kind of argument or maybe teasing from him, instead he just cupped me and together we sat there quietly.
One thing that I was sure of...was that my spark was racing.
And I was more happy than I could ever remember being before.
(Sunny's POV)
Clare had left me a while ago to go to berth. Strangely enough I hadn't wanted her to leave but I knew that she wouldn't stay with me over night yet. My little femmefriend was shy and innocent, and most definitely not the kind of femme to jump into a berth with a mech. Normally the thought of having to wait to interface with a femme I wanted annoyed me, and it was annoying me a fair bit now. However I was trying to prove something to not just her, but to myself and Sides. That being that I could woo a femme outside of the berth, that I could form a relationship outside of interfacing.
Sides' comments about my behavior were annoying, the teasing about how I treated her compared to other femmes frustrated me. It made me question him over the bond about what he wanted me to do with her several times already. Did he want me to act as callous as I always did? Hadn't he practically challenged me to try and open up more outside of the berth?
And hadn't I at least proven that I could treat a femme decently? Sure it made me uncomfortable to show her affection around other bots, but Sides knew that I was a private mech. I liked to have my moments of intimacy without prying optics watching my every move. Not only that, I also did not want any other mechs that showed up in the future to see her innocence and think that they could move in on her. She was mine, and in the future she would be Sides' as well, she had been and would be from the moment that she opened herself up completely to me.
She was mine. And I did not share with anybot but Sides.
Speaking of my twin I had not forgotten the rush of longing that had struck me from Sides' part of the bond when I had taken Clare into my arms. It made a twinge of guilt hit my spark, almost making me question whether what I was doing was ok. But then the memories of everything that had happened with every femme we had ever been with came rushing back and my resolve was strengthened. I needed to do this to prove that I could. Sides would understand. He always did.
I decided to get up off of the couch where I had been sketching in sketchbook Clare had given me to go and find him.
As soon as I stepped out of the door however I ran into Jazz of all bots.
"Hey Sunny!"
I narrowed my optics contemplatively. Something seemed off to me about Jazz's demeanor. He seemed as happy and upbeat as he normally did, only his darker more menacing side was showing through uderneath that facade. "What?" I muttered gruffly.
He grinned darkly at me setting me somewhat on edge. Small Jazz may be, weak and unskilled he was not. "Ah jus' wanted ta give ya a word o' warnin' about mah sparklin."
I tensed. "What?!" As far as I was concerned Clare may be his sparkling, but what we did together was none of Jazz's concern. I sensed Sides coming up on us and stop a fair distance down the hall but still close enough to hear and see.
"Ah jus' wanted ta tell ya dat if ya do anythin' ta hurt mah sparklin ah will hunt ya down an' string ya up from da rafters..." He leaned in closer to me despite my much larger size and gave me a menacing look. "an' leave ya ta burn."
(Oh slag!) Sides gulped over the bond. (I guess that will extend to me when I start pursuing her too.)
I took a menacing step forward growling low in my chassis. "Try it Jazz."
"Give meh a reason ta." He shot back. "If ya 'urt mah sparklin ah will show ya jus' how serious ah am. Do no' test meh mech."
Sides stepped between us to shove me back when I tensed to strike out at the smaller silver mech. "Cool it guys! Allies don't attack each other."
"He's threatening me!" I snarled. Nobot threatened me and got away with it! Not even Jazz! And nobot challenged me over what I saw as mine!
"Ah'm Clare's opiluck! I's mah job ta threaten ya wit' bodily harm if ya hurt 'er!"
An incomprehensible snarl of pure rage escaped me as Sides held me back from attacking. "I may be an aft but I would never purposefully hurt a femme especially Clare!" As soon as the words were out I snapped my jaw shut with a sharp click. Why had I just said something that stupid?! Sure I knew that I would never attack or harm a femme for no reason but nobot else needed to know that! It made me look weak!
Jazz seemed to be weighing my words in his processor, visor tinted optics locked with me. "Good. Cause ah'm serious Sunstreaker! If ya hurt mah sparklin ah will hurt ya back."
Sides had to once again wrestle me back when I went to lunge at the saboteur when he turned to walk away from us. "Keep your aft outta my business Jazz!"
He paused and looked over his shoulder at me. "Clare is mah business. Ya woul' do best ta remember dat." With that he disappeared around the corner to return to his quarters.
"Calm down Sunny." Sides coaxed me back into the room. "Just relax! Jazz is just doing what creators do when their femmlings start dating!"
He threatened me! He threatened me! My alpha programming was set into overdrive and the only thing I could think of was the challenge against me. Sides had to forcefully move in from his side of our bond and calm me down before I did something stupid.
I was still pissed though.
"I know what can make you feel better..."
In no way was I in the mood for any of my brother's jokes or humor and I let him know this over our bond. With a frustrated growl I flopped down on my berth and started buffing out my finish to distract myself from what was angering me.
"Sunny...I heard about this human custom that's the same as what we do on Cybertron! Wanna hear about it?"
"No." I deadpanned irritably.
He ignored me completely. "It's called a date!" A wide grin spread across Sides' face as he hopped up onto his berth. "Its where a couple go out somewhere to do something fun!"
I sighed. "Are you trying to convince me to take Clare out on a date?" What part of not in the mood did my idiot twin not get?
"Yup! It'll be fun! You can take her out to a movie or something!"
That meant going out into a public place with other organics. So no I was not keen on that idea. "No."
"A picnic? I read somewhere that earth femmes like to go out and have picnics under the stars or something. It's supposed to be romantic."
"You sound ridiculous you mushy fragger."
"It's why you love me." He responded cheekily.
"No I'm forced to tolerate you." In an astrosecond Sides' fist slammed into my helm knocking me from the berth onto the floor. I snarled as I landed in a heap my polish rag forgotten on the floor next to me when I leapt up and tackled my twin off of his berth.
We rolled around on the floor until I was able to pin him underneath me. I slammed my fist into his helm eliciting a yelp from him. Primal satisfaction coursed through me.
"Date nig- OW!"
"Shut up Sides!"
Why the slag was I cursed with an idiot for a brother?
