So I'm typing chapters in advance so this may change before I post this, but we're at almost 5000 views and we have over seventy reviews! I think that this story is taking better than any of my other stories so far and it's awesome! Keep reading and reviewing while I bust chapters out for you guys! Anyways I do not own TRANSFORMERS! A little bit of smut in this one! Readers have been warned!
(Sunny's POV)
I walked into the hangar after a long uneventful patrol with Flareup and Sides. The lack of con activity was starting to get to me making me restless. The peacefulness, no fighting or shedding energon. It drove me crazy after a while. Well maybe it was more accurate to say that the fact that cons were still out there hiding like cowards when I could be killing them was annoying me.
Oh well nothing could be done about it now. Maybe later Sides would spar with me to relieve some of the tension eating away at me. Until then I had plans to find Clare, and since her comm. was off that meant that she was training with Chromia and Ironhide. Thus the training room was my first destination.
Sides tagged along behind me to the training room where my audios clearly picked up the sound of grunts mixed with the sound of metal hitting metal. We stepped inside in time to see Clare go to sweep Chromia's uni-leg out from under her in a quick precise movement that surprised me. It missed when the blue femme leapt up over Clare's helm and attacked from behind once she had landed.
Clare ducked down and spun around to deliver a swift kick to Chromia's side barely grazing her when she dodged to the side. Then Clare was on the receiving end of a series of quick jabs. I noticed her antennas twitch as she ducked and weaved between them quickly.
(Wow she's a lot better than I was expecting after only a few solar cycles of training.)
As soon as Sides said that Chromia lashed out and finally managed to connect a rather forceful punch to Clare's midsection sending the smaller form of my femmefriend skidding across the floor. She used her clawed toes to keep herself from falling and slid down into a more defensive crouch. I had to admit that with time she would be a dangerous femme for her size.
"Ok Clare that's enough for today. Your evasive skill is good as is your reaction time, however you are hesitating to attack me. In battle you can't afford to do that."
No she couldn't afford to do that, she couldn't keep letting that innocence she exuded get in the way. If she continued somebot would get the better of her. She had to grow up and learn that fighting for us was not a choice, it was just life. One that she was born into and would grow up in.
"Ok."
"Next session is going to be different, I will not give you a choice to go on the defensive. You will attack me and I will defend. For now go and get some energon and I will see you tomorrow morning before you prepare to leave."
Clare perked up and bounded over to me as soon as she was dismissed. She was covered in dents and looked like she must be quite sore but she didn't let that stop her from attacking my leg in a hug. In her bot form she was over a foot taller than her human form so she actually came up half way to my upper thigh.
"Sore Clare?" Sides gave her a look of sympathy. Chromia was known for being a tough femme and an even tougher trainer, one who could kick the afts of mechs twice her size. A femme like Clare with no experience stood no chance of standing up to her. I had to say that I was proud that she was giving it her all despite getting her aft kicked repeatedly.
"A little." She admitted quietly. "But getting my aft kicked all day will do that huh?"
I leaned down and scooped her up to deposit her on my shoulder at the same time that Sides answered with a cheerful, "Yup!" We turned and started in the direction of the rec room to get all of us some energon.
Sides and I walked into the rec room where I sat Clare down on a table nearby and went to get us some energon. Sides sat with her and chatted about her progress until I came back and sat down next to them. "You were doing ok."
She sipped at her small cube with a snort. "No I wasn't. I got my aft kicked all day long. If that's ok I hate to see what bad is."
"Chromia is older than us even and possesses a lot of experience. She's an opponent that even I would not take lightly. All things considered you did alright seeing as how you didn't just stand there and take it. You kept moving though you hesitated to attack her, which is something that you really do need to work on baby. An enemy won't hesitate just because you will, and that means that you can't keep doing it." I lifted my own cube after I finished and took several large gulps from it as I let her contemplate that. I also did some contemplating of my own, but not about her fighting performance.
Instead I was thinking on what Sides had said last night about taking her out to do something. It was something that bots did on Cybertron even though it had been something that Sides had to drag me into. Now I found myself wanting to do it without prompting. The topic had been on my processor all day long much to Sides' amusement.
(I still think you should do it.) Sides prompted me. I could sense his amusement clearly. (Femmes appreciate things like a nice romantic outting.)
(Mushy fragger.) I muttered sourly. His point was clear though...whenever we had taken a femme out on Cybertron it had always ended up with her in our berth at the nights end. Sides had done most of the work during the dates though since it was not really my thing to coddle femmes with honeyed words and gentle touches. That was his thing.
But now I had a femme that was attentive to me outside the berth, whom went out of her way to spend time with me whenever she was able. The least I could do was something nice for her even if it was not my style. With Clare something told me that I would have to learn to do things outside of my comfort zone.
(Atta mech!) Sides crowed in amusement. (Take her out to the pool we found...you know the one where you two kissed for the first time.) He snickered over the bond, optics holding mine briefly from his peripherals. (Pack some energon goodies, maybe some nice human snacks, and even some high grade. Set it all up on a nice little blanket...maybe take the skimpy bikini and try and coerce her into it...)
My servo lashed out and connected with his helm at the last bit. I sent my irritation through our bond to let him know that I was not pleased with his joking right now. Not that the mental image of Clare's frame in that bikini was a bad one, quite the opposite really. She had a magnificent shape with perfect curves. I wonder what she looked like in her real protoform.
(Soon we'll be able to see it for ourselves.) Sides purred.
"You two are doing that weird thing where you move in sync and stuff."
We both snapped our gazes down to the small femme sitting atop the table with a now empty cube of energon sitting beside her. She laughed, the sound like a soft bell tinkling in my audios. For some reason I quite enjoyed the sound.
"Bonds are there for private communication baby."
"I know that!" She scooted closer to me until she was sitting between my servos. "But Sides is giving me that look that tells me he's up to something that involves me most likely. So therefore I'm curious to hear what's going on in his devious mind."
"Well I was trying to think of how to get you back in that skimpy bikini again in your human form. That or how to get you in your protoform like this." Sides interjected before I could.
Clare let out an embarrassed squeak at the same exact moment that my servo lashed out and smacked him upside the helm again. "Don't you know how to keep your trap shut?"
"Nope."
I shoved his helm down onto the table top and held him there to shut him up. While I was doing that I decided to take Sides' earlier advise, via comm. link of course so that he wouldn't know right away. :Hey Clare I wanna do something later. Are you up for it? Just me and you.:
She turned to me in surprise. :Of course! When and where?:
:I'll come and get you around seven. Until then I have some things to take care of.: Like getting everything around from the energon goodies, to whatever human food items she might like...as disgusting as they were.
:Ok. I guess I'll go and bug Ironhide or Ratchet until then.:
:Just don't get belted with a wrench ok? Might be hard to go and do something if you're flattened right?:
She stood on her peds with a soft laugh abundant amusement making her optics shine as she held her arms out for me to place her on the floor again. :I'll try not to.: With that she made her way out of the room hips swaying rythmically with each step. I could tell that it was definitely not a conscious movement.
But that little sashay she had combined with her beautiful silver finish definitely caught my optics. Not just mine either.
"You're so lucky that I love you Sunny." Sides groaned lustfully. "Funny, caring, gorgeous, and I can't even make a move until you get over your issues with femmes. Afthole."
"Sides...shut up." With that I left him to take care of some preparations for this date I had instigated. Hopefully Clare would find my efforts satisfactory, and if not well then I would be slagged that I wasted my time doing something for her in the first place.
(Clare's POV)
After leaving Sunny and Sides behind I was unable to find Ironhide, and Ratchet had threatened me with bodily harm as soon as I set foot into his med bay. So I wandered for a bit until I ran into Arcee and Flareup, and having not spent much time with them yet I decided to talk to them for a bit.
Flareup I learned was loud, obnoxious, with a fiery temper to boot. She was fun and spontaneous just like me. I learned that she was a demolitions expert and she offered to teach me some things later if I wanted. Honestly I liked her, but I would like her more if Sides didn't always flirt with her. Or maybe if she didn't flirt back. Of course as soon as I thought that I felt bad because I had Sunny, and Sides didn't want me like that. If he did the three of us would be together instead of it just being Sunny and I. Then again there wasn't anything wrong with it just being us two excluding the fact that there was no real future for us without Sides in the mix, at least that was what I got from the data pad that I had read on different spark bonds. Split sparks shared a mate apparently, but maybe there were exceptions or something?
Anyways I tried not to let it bother me! Sunny and I were going to go out later and I was super excited for it! I would just make the best of it! Talking to the other femmes made it easy to at least push everything that I didn't want to think about away.
Arcee was sort of like a cross between Chromia and Flareup. She possessed a good sense of humor and liked to have fun, but she also could be really serious when she needed to be. I looked at her and thought immediately of an older sister figure, in truth I saw all three femmes like that. I wanted to be strong and sensual like them. Unfortunately I was a long way off from being competent enough to achieve that goal. But hey! There was still time to learn and hopefully accomplish it later!
They both offered to teach me things from extra marksman lessons with Arcee, to rigging small explosives with Flareup! Of course I immediately agreed to it since I was eager to learn!
When the subject of Sunny and I dating came up...I got to the point where I was not so eager anymore. They gave me knowing looks when I blushed and stammered an affirmative to their inquiry if it was true or not. And then I went and blabbed about my...well it was then that I realized that it was actually a date. Anyways it was at that moment that I blurted it out.
I got scared when their optics brightened gleefully before I was grabbed up and rushed to their berthroom. They shoved me into the center of the room and told me to stay still, which I hesitated to do. A few swift reprimands put an end to that as both of them took these small oval containers from their subspaces along with some polishing rags to use.
They smeared the stuff all over my frame buffering it in until my armor shone so brightly that light bounced off of every part of me. Then they went over the polish with wax to make it look more defined. I wasn't a big makeup girl as a human but being polished kind of felt good.
What I could have done without was the lengthy process it took to get every plate and crease in my armor. In total it literally took them a few hours and by the time they were finished I was supposed to be meeting Sunny. Only I don't recall where he wanted me to meet him.
"Ok Clare! You can handle this giant piece of fine mech metal!" Flareup pep talked me. "When you walk in front of him make sure to swing your hips a little more than normal, but not too much! He will stare trust me! And as soon as you have his attention own it!"
If I could I would have sweatdropped...but metal beings couldn't sweat as far as I knew. Instead I just nodded at her.
That was when Arcee decided to pipe in helpfully as well. "Do not try too hard Clare. Keep his interest but do not push too much. If he must look away merely give him a reason to look back. You look beautiful. Use this to your advantage, however do not let him push you into more than you are ready for. Tease him, but do not let him gain the upper hand."
Ok like I knew what that meant. "Umm ok."
"Good luck!" Flareup chirped before shoving me out of their berthroom. The door slammed behind me immediately afterwoods leaving me standing there confused and nervous.
:Umm Sunny?:
It took a moment for him to respond and when he did he sounded irritated. :Where are you? I told you that I would be around to get you at this time!:
Whoops! :Umm I was with Arcee and Flareup. We kind of lost track of time. Where are you?: I started in the direction of my room in the hopes that he was there.
:Your room.:
Good! :Ok I'm coming to meet you.: I cut the comm. link at the same moment that I rounded the corner to the corridor where my room was. And there he was standing just outside my door looking as frustrated and angry as ever.
His optics snapped over to me and widened as I approached him. His normally gruff expression fell just slightly into a look that just seemed so out of place on him. It was the first time I had really seen him look genuinely surprised. Like an anamoly had just fallen in front of him and he was desperately trying to figure it out.
I fidgeted nervously under the intense scrutiny deciding to break some of the tension by twirling playfully so that he could see everyt part of me. I desperately fought down the blush that wanted to break out across my cheeks again. "Arcee and Flareup decided that I needed a polish... Does it look ok?"
He grunted. "Yeah. Looks good."
"So where are we going?"
He strode forward scooping me up from the floor at the same moment that he shifted down to alt mode with me sitting in the passenger seat. "You'll see when we get there." He stated cryptically. Or gruffly more like, because he was kind of an aft even on a good day.
I sat in his seat contentedly as he drove through the base to escape through the front of the hangar. My optics watched the jungle fauna as we drove past, my servos gently caressing the seat I was sitting on. It registered to me that I was actually playing with his servo as well as inadvertantly letting him touch my aft in a roundabout way. Funny how I had done that several times before not really thinking much of it but now that I sat there and really realized it, well I definitely felt embarrassed about it.
The path we took was a familiar one, and with a start I realized that he was taking us back to the pool where we had gone swimming that day with Sides. A gasp left me when we pulled through the trees surrounding the small oasis.
As beautiful as it was in the day with the sun shining down on the flowers and crystal clear pool, it paled in comparison to how it looked at night. At least I thought that it was more spectacular. The moon shone down on the pool making it glow a soft pale white, little lightning bugs fluttered around illuminating the multicolored flowers around us. And there in the center just beside the pool was a blanket large enough for Sunny to sit on in his real form. Cubes of energon were stacked in the center next to a small black container, just opposite of that was several human food items that were obviously for me.
"Wow." I murmured in awe as he shifted to bi pedal mode and carried me over to the blanket where I was placed down in the center. He hesitated for a moment before taking a seat close enough to me that I was brushing against his large leg. I placed a servo on the gold plating to garner his attention, once I had it I met his optics with my own and offered him a timid smile. "Thank you Sunny it's really nice."
He nodded before quickly looking away so that he could get us some cubes of energon, a small one for me and a normal sized one for him. He was quiet as he sipped at his after handing mine to me.
A tangy smell rose up from the cube making me sniff at the contents curiously. I cocked my helm before taking a small sip of the darker colored energon. My optics widened at the sweet yet slightly bitter taste, and at the warmth that trailed the liquid down my throat all the way into my fuel tanks. It wasn't bad though. "What is this?"
"High grade."
"High grade?" I murmured as I sipped at it again.
"It's our form of alcohol."
As soon as the words were out of his mouth I almost spat my high grade out! He was out here trying to get me drunk?! Well I had two choices, I could put it down and refuse to drink it possibly offending him, or I could let loose and just drink it. After a moment of thinking about it I shrugged and took another big gulp of it. What Aunt Judy and Uncle Ron didn't know wouldn't hurt them.
Sunny finished his cube quickly, chugging it like a boss if I did say so myself. Something told me that he was a practiced drinker. Me? As soon as I finished my first cube I was feeling warm. Not drunk but warm. He offered me another one which I took and downed much faster than the first, while he grabbed the small black case and popped it open.
He sat the case between us so that I could clearly see the small pink hard candies inside, one of which he picked up and handed to me. I took it and popped it into my mouth gasping softly at the incredibly sweet taste of it. "Mmm this is good! What is it?"
"Energon candy." He popped one into his own mouth and chased it down with another cube of high grade.
I grabbed myself another cube and downed it quickly before stuffing another energon candy into my mouth. "You know you surprised me with this Sunny."
He raised an optic ridge at me as if to ask why.
I giggled feeling the high grade starting to get to me, but I grabbed another cube to start drinking anyways. Might as well get drunk and have fun instead of being too nervous to let loose. "Well you don't really seem like the type to do things like this. Not that it's a bad thing to be like that!" I hastily added in case what I said offended him. "It's just that dating seems like something that is more Sides' thing you know? But I'm still enjoying this even if it must be a little awkward for you. It's the small things you do that count the most."
Normally cold ocean blue optics softened ever so slightly as he scooted closer to me and scooped me up onto his lap. "I admit that it's not what I normally would do Clare..." He looked vaguely uncomfortable.
"That's ok. You're trying and that's all that matters. Besides we've only been dating for a week Sunny, most males wouldn't bother doing much at this stage. But you are doing something nice for me and I appreciate it. So don't feel weird or out of place with me. I want you to always feel as comfortable with me as I do with you." I ducked my helm down with a blush adorning my cheeks. What I said was completely truthful so I wasn't embarrassed about the majority of it, just what I had admitted to feeling around him. This relationship was something that I had to learn to be more open with, more adventurous with. It would be hard for me but I would try.
"Yeah."
His cryptic response made me laugh softly. "What is that supposed to mean? Yeah?" I looked up at him grinning madly. "Sunny the master of cryptic one word answers!" I teased him.
"I'm a master at a lot of things." He growled. It didn't sound threatening like the growls he had used when he was angry. It sent a shiver down my spinal struts.
A wicked glint came to his optics making me tense and scrambled away. Only as soon as I moved it was like a wave of vertigo hit me from the high grade I had consumed. I almost went tumbling off of his lap, would have if not for a quick servo catching me. He spun me around until I was laying flat on my back on his lap with him looming over me with a wicked smirk.
"I should have gotten weaker high grade for your first time drinking it huh baby?"
This was a completely new side to him. A darker diabolically playful side of him. And in my drunk mind all I could think was...'damn you look hot.' It was the high grade talking I swear!
Then I was being lifted up towards his lips my body limp in his grasp, high grade zinging through my systems. It was doing something strange to my emotions and thoughts, sending a haze over my entire body. I was so damn hot! If I was in my human form I would probably have been sweating bullets!
Between one astrosecond and the next those smooth metal lips descended on mine roughly. He growled against me when I just sat there dumbly, the sound coercing me into kissing back. The high grade was getting to me making me feel fuzzy and heated as I kissed him back harder than I ever had before, my smaller lips pressing back sloppily. I didn't hesitate to open my mouth for him when his glossa brushed against my lower lip. It slid in to tangle with mine while I moaned softly and dug my claws into his neck cables.
With a thundering growl his attentions suddenly became more fierce, mouth forcing more and more from mine. Glossa forcefully lapping at mine faster than before. His servos slid down and grasped my aft squeezing it.
Through all of it I just panted, and gasped, my mind too fuzzy on high grade for me to care that things were moving farther than I was ready for. The touch only spurred me on in a way that I had never been enticed into before.
With a small growl of my own I tried forcing my way into his mouth to explore. He let me much to my surprise, and this time I swept my glossa over every part of his mouth that I could reach savoring the sweet taste of the high grade mixed with his own natural flavor. Some part of my mind registered his touches moving down my body while I was exploring.
It was only when something passed over my apex that the little Mary Sue bitch that was living inside of me came forth and slapped the shit out of me mentally. With a startled gasp I drew back. "Sunny don't do that please!"
He froze before drawing his servo back up to my lower back. "Not ready?"
"No I'm not. I just...that's a big step to take and I've never even been kissed before you. Of course I'm not ready to...you know. At least not yet! Just can I-can I have some time to get more used to this before we do more?"
He nodded and set me on the ground carefully. "Yeah. I should have known better than to push you too far."
I looked down at my lap. "It's just...as cliche as it sounds I want my first time to be with someone I love...and as much as I like you I don't love you yet. I do like you a lot and maybe in time it'll grow but for now I'm not comfortable enough with our relationship to do more. Please don't be mad at me."
"I'm not."
My helm whipped up so fast that my vision swam from the high grade I had consumed. "Really?" I asked hopefully.
"If I didn't mean it I wouldn't have said it." He grumbled.
"Thank you." I smiled at him.
He only nodded and handed me another cube of high grade along with some energon goodies. I noticed that he was eyeing the human food items he had brought with disdain and giggled. "They aren't that bad you know." Reaching over I plucked up a small pastry so that I could take a bite out of it. It was a chocolate filled pastry. I wondered where he got it from?
He snorted. "Not interested."
"Suit yourself." I shrugged before stuffing the rest of it into my mouth and chasing it down with the high grade. Hopefully I wouldn't be too wasted when I got back to base otherwise I would have to crash somewhere besides my room. Did not want opi to see me wasted.
(Sunny's POV)
Ok so maybe getting her over charged was not the smartest idea I had ever had. Because now I had to sneak an extremely over intoxicated femme past the human soldiers, on top of the other Autobots who were still awake. Normally this would not be so difficult because I could hide her in my arms, however Clare kept giggling at everything we passed, either that or she kept blabbing nonsensically about things I couldn't understand.
I could not take her back to Jazz's quarters like this so I bypassed them to take her to my room. Hopefully Sides would not mind having an overcharged femme staying the night. Knowing him he would have a great time antagonizing her to exacerbate her drunken antics. Slagging idiot.
Clare snorted out a laugh for no apparent reason right before I opened the door and crept into my room. Sides was awake and turned towards us at the sound mouth splitting into a grin when he realized that Clare was slagged a thousand different ways. "Clare seems like a fun drunk." He commented when Clare giggled madly and waved at him.
"HI SIDES! SUNNY GAVE ME THIS REALLY YUMMY STUFF TO DRINK AND UMMM WOW IT MADE ME WARM!" She giggled and rolled off of my servo when I sat down on the couch.
Sides reached out and caught her before she could fall over the edge. "Whoa there femme! If you're not careful you'll fall!" He sat her back up on the couch between us. "Primus Sunny how much did you give her?"
"Me? She was the one that kept drinking it!"
Clare hiccuped and shook her helm slowly. "N-No I didn'." She slurred drunkenly. Out of nowhere she busted into giggles again for no reason. "Th-that stuff wazz good...heekup! Su- he made me stop drinkin it cuz...cuz he said I had too much! Th-that's so not fair righ-right Sides?"
Sides grinned obviously enjoying the show she was putting on. "Nope that's not fair. How much did you have though Clare?"
She sat up looking confused for a moment before she started counting on her digits slowly...with a pout so cute even I had to admit it at least to myself. "Ummm one, two...uhhh six?"
"Not even close." I deadpanned with a smirk. Now that we were in the safety of Sides and my room I had to admit that her behavior was funny. She was a fun and happy drunk. "You had ten cubes."
She gasped. "Ten?! But that's like-like more then seven!"
Sides busted out laughing both at what she said and how shocked she looked while saying it. Even I chuckled at her. "Yes that is more than seven."
"You! W-why did you let me have more than seven?" She crawled back over to me with a sad looking pout. "Th-that's a lot!"
I shook my helm at her. "Yes it is. But ten is more than seven and that's how many cubes you drank."
She gave an affronted gasp and pointed at me accusingly making Sides laugh again, and forcing me to have to struggle to hold back my own laughter. "NO! Why did you let me think I had seven?"
"I didn't let you, you forgot how many you had. So I was just reminding you."
"Nuh uh!" She protested by shaking her helm quickly, only the movement sent her drunken self tumbling over onto Sides' leg. "Ouch! Gravity sucks! Have you ever seen Ted?" Before either of us could answer her she kept on talking without pausing. "Well it's a movie about a living teddy bear who is a freaking badass pothead...and him and his boy are scared of thunder so they sing the thunder song! It goes fuck you thunder you can suck my dick! I-I wanna sing that about gravity right now...but I don't have a dick. Do-do I tell gravity to suck my-my valve instead?"
Sides laughed so hard that he choked. "I-I don't think that's a good idea."
"Gravity doesn't have a mouth baby. It can't suck your valve."
She struggled to sit up so that she could point at me. "Yuh huh! Cuz everytime I fall onto my ass for no apparent reason it's...it's cuz gravity wants to suck my girl bits. Only it can't if I'm standing so it makes me fall! THAT'S THE REASON FOR THOSE RANDOM FALLING MOMENTS WHERE THERE'S NO LOGICAL REASON AS TO WHY YOU FALL! GRAVITY IS A PERVERT!"
There was no helping it...I burst out laughing. Now normally I was not the type of mech to do this, however the way she looked when she was ranting about gravity being a pervert was like somebot that had an epiphany that they truly did believe. She looked so sure of herself as she sat there swaying, the only thing keeping her propped up being Sides' leg.
Sides was laughing so hard that his systems were wheezing from the strain. "I don't think that's how it works Clare!" He gasped.
"Sides...hiccup! I have fallen enough timez ta know that...that gravity wants my girl bits-femme bits. Well besides Sunny...he wants them too."
"You're so over charged that it's unreal!"
"Waz that even mean?" Clare hiccuped. "What's an over charge? I want one!"
I smirked at her. "It's when our kind get drunk. And let me tell you that you are quite drunk baby."
She gasped dramatically and kicked at my leg. "I am not drunk! How dare you?!" Luckily her kick missed otherwise my paint would have damaged by those lethal little claws. "You're so mean Sunny!" A loud squeaky hiccup escaped her as her tanks churned and jumped from the high grade in them. And before the first had even completely died down she flew into a series of loud squeaks and clicks as her tanks repeatedly jumped. "No hiccyups!"
"Primus Sunny how strong was the stuff you gave her?" Sides snickered as he took pity on her and started rubbing her spinal relays to try and coax her tanks to settle.
"Well we only have our special grade so..."
Sides smirked. (The sweet stuff or the strong tasting stuff?)
(The sweet stuff.)
(No wonder she's so slagged up.) We both looked at Clare who was now trying to sing some strange human song between hiccups. I honestly could not understand what she was trying to say because of it but she wasn't letting the hiccups stop her.
She suddenly stopped and jumped to her peds. "Let'z play two truths an' one lie!"
"What's that?"
She turned to Sides with a bright goofy smile. "I's a game where we take three pieces of paper each, on two of them we have to write something about ourselves that iz true, one the last one we have ta write a lie. Then we put them in a container an' one person has to pull them all out and read them, then it's up ta everyone to try and decide who wrote whatever slip they pull!"
Sides instantly looked intrigued. "So it has to be two truths and one lie?"
"Yup! C'mon it'll be FUUUUNNNN!"
Sides and I shared a look before shrugging and nodding. What's the worst that could happen right?
Clare squealed and retrieved a pad of paper and some pencils to write on from somewhere... Don't ask me where because when I turned back from looking at Sides she had them. She handed us each three pieces along with a pencil to write with.
"Now you can' look when we write stuff down! Turn away from each other and don't look until everyone sayz they're done!"
Over the next klik or two we each wrote down something on our papers. I wondered why I was even willing to play a game like this but the more I thought about it the more I realized that it was because I was actually feeling amused and anxious to see what Clare would write down. This was a chance to get to know her a little bit more. Something told me that whatever she wrote down would either be highly amusing or just plain dumb.
"Ok I'm done!" Clare chirped.
"Me too. Are you done Sunny?"
I grunted out an affimative.
"Now fold the papers into little squares an' give em to me ta put in the box."
Folding the papers without accidentally tearing them in my servos was irritating but eventually I managed to get them folded into little squares and handed them to Clare. Sides did so as well, as did Clare. Afterwards she put all of the squares into a small box she had. Don't ask me where she got that either.
She handed it to me. "Sunny getz ta read!"
I scowled in irritation but said nothing else as I took the small box into my servos. Clare sat there watching me with a giddy expression when I reached in and pulled the first piece of paper out and opened it. As soon as I registered the words on it my optic ridge twitched. "I'm a femme."
Sides and I both looked to Clare when she pointed at Sides. "I's his."
I shook my helm. "Clare."
Sides laughed. "Clare."
Said femme threw her arms in the air. "How did you know?!"
"Because Sides and I are not femmes, nor would we write that we were as a lie." I deadpanned as I reached in and took another piece of paper. When I unfolded this one and read it I wanted to smack myself in the helm repeatedly. "I don't have a spike."
Clare held her servos up defensively. "That one iz not mine! I's Sides'!"
A trickle of amusement hit me through the twin bond causing me to look at Sides with an optic ridge raised. "Really? I don't have a spike? That's the best lie that you could come up with?"
"What if i's not a lie?" Clare argued.
This time I did smack myself in the face. "Clare he has a spike."
"Yup I do! And she said write a lie she didn't specify what kind of lie!" Sides was obviously enjoying this game, fragger was grinning as wide as I had ever seen him.
Idiots. With a small shake of my helm I reached in and grabbed another piece of paper to unfold. I read it...and immediately twitched. "I don't have a spike. You both wrote the same thing?!" I threw the piece down with a growl.
"That one waz mine!" Clare chirped.
"But it could have been mine." Sides commented with a laugh.
I shook from helm to ped in irritation. Just don't say anything...don't say anything at all. Clare is drunk, Sides is a moron... Just don't say a thing. I grabbed another piece of paper from the box and tore it open. This one was mine. "I hate stupid bots."
"Sunny that'z mean!" Clare admonished me before giggling drunkenly again. "You shouldn' talk about Sides like that!"
"Hey! Sunny loves me Clare!"
"I know! But he hatez it when you act stupid sometimes!" She argued.
I twitched again... "Ok you both got it right!" I grabbed another piece and opened it...and twitched again. Who the frag invented this game?! "I knew about this game and you didn't." With a frustrated growl I tossed the box onto the floor. "Ok that's enough of that game!"
(Relax Sunny she's drunk! Drunk equates to being dumb.)
Clare giggled drawing my attention back to where she was spinning around in circles. "Truth or dare! Truth or dare! Sides truth or dare?"
"What?"
"Pick one!" She plopped down and scooted over closer to my twin.
"Dare?"
A devious gleam flashed in those dark saphire blue optics. "I dare you ta paint yaself pink for an entire day!"
"What?!" Sides gasped in horror thoughts trapped on the thought of him being pink again.
"You have ta do it! I dared you to! It's truth or dare so if I dare you ta do something you have ta!"
"You heard her Sides get to painting yourself pink."
"Who's side are you on Sunny?"
"The side that gets you painted pink." I deadpanned making Clare laugh.
Sides grumbled as he got up and sat himself on the floor, where he retrieved several cans of pink paint from his subspace so that he could paint himself.
"It's your turn ta ask someone truth or dare Sides." Clare crawled over to me and pulled herself into my lap at the same moment that Sides perked up.
"My turn?" At Clare's nod he grinned. "Ok Clare truth or dare?"
"Dare."
If possible his grin widened even more but I could not tell what he was thinking. "Ok Clare I dare you to strip your armor off and stay that way for the rest of the game."
The femme in my lap gasped. "Pervert!"
"You have to do it! I dared you to!" Sides snickered.
Clare huffed and stood on shaky legs to tug at the armor on her stomach. "It won' come off!"
"You have to activate your armor catches to release them. Look at your HUD and it'll be right there on the front."
She stood there for a moment with her face scrunched in concentration before a soft click sounded as her armor fell to pool at her waist. Her soft shapely almost white protoform was instantly on display for my twin and I to look, and look we did from her long legs, defined hips and chassis, all the way to her slim petite shoulders and enticing neck. I wondered why she didn't seem to care that she was naked right now, but then I reasoned that she was over charged and not in her right state of processor.
What mech in his right state of processor would complain about the situation though? Certainly not my twin or I.
Clare plopped down on my thigh with a pout. "Why iz it so much cooler withou' that stuff on?"
My twin's optics were completely riveted on her, arousal coursing through our bond as he answered her in a breathy tone. "Because you're naked."
Her state was affecting me too, I just had better control over the spike straining beneath my sodpiece. "Don't you need to ask one of us to truth or dare now?"
She perked up and turned towards me fully giving me a nice view of her rather well endowed chest plates. "Sunny truth or dare?"
"Truth." I answered without taking my optics off of her chest.
"Ummm have you ever got drunk an' screwed someone soooo ugly tha' the next morning you woke up an' were like wha' the ever loving shit was I thinking when I screwed tha'?"
Sides choked out another laugh while I contemplated that question. It had actually happened to me several times since drunk mechs didn't really care much about who they took to their berth so long as it was somebot. I had woken up several times with some rather unsightly femmes, and even a time or two a mech. I was not a mech on mech type so the few times that I had woken up in protoform next to one had been a traumatizing experience. "Yes."
Sides caught my disguted look annd grinned. "Bad memories Sunny?" He teased.
"Shut up Sides you-" I was cut off when a sudden weight flopped against my stomach plates forcing me to look down at Clare who was now passed out on my lap. High grade must have gotten to her finally. Next time we had high grade I would have to make sure that she did not help herself to quite as much.
"Finally passed out?" Sides questioned.
"Yeah." I stood with her cradled in my arms and strode over to my berth to pull myself onto it. Once settled comfortably on my back I laid her small form down right beside me, so close that she was able to curl into my plating.
She was so small and fragile laying there curled into my side her white protoform gleaming in the light of the room. I had the urge to roll onto my side and hold her as she recharged but I refrained. I wasn't ready to make myself that vulnerable yet.
So I stayed laying on my back as I allowed my recharge protocols to start taking over. "Night Sides."
"Night Sunny." My twin responded quickly.
With that I allowed myself to be pulled into recharge.
(Clare's POV)
My helm was throbbing horribly when I awoke the next time...I could not remember anything. I did not know where I was even. All I remembered was going out with Sunny to the oasis and then nothing.
Where was I? Despite the throbbing in my helm I forced my optics to open only to slam them shut with a whimper when the dim light in the room made me feel like someone had stabbed me in my processor.
It took me a few more tries with the same results before I was able to force my optics to stay open. I was immediately assaulted with the sight of a pink Sideswipe recharging on the berth in front of me. My jaw dropped. "WHY THE FRAG IS SIDES PINK?!" I practically yelled.
Whatever I was laying on was jostled when something jumped, something freaking big. The next thing I saw was a large gold servo slamming down beside me before pulling me in against what I assumed was Sunny's side.
"Wha?! What happened?" My mechfriend growled as he held me there forcibly, but not enough to hurt me. His engine was rumbling loudly in my audios which were dangerously close to him.
Sides jolted up at the same moment looking around as if someone was in the room and posed a threat.
His pink finish only made me choke out another laugh despite the way that my helm throbbed as a result of the sound. And throb it freaking did. "Sides why are you pink?"
Sides turned to me with a raised optic ridge. "You don't remember?"
"No. I don't remember anything."
He looked contemplative for a moment a devious smile overtaking his features after a klik or so. "Look down."
"Sides-" Sunny growled at him.
But I was quicker to look down to see what he was talking about and as soon as I did I freaked out.
"WHY THE FRAGGING HELL AM I NAKED?!"
Cliffhanger! R&R! Oh and if anyone wants to beta I am still looking for one. If you're confused by the bad spelling and grammar in the last half it was because Clare was drunk. So yeah drunk Clare can't talk right lol. Oh and I want to bring in a cyber animal companion for Clare and I have an idea! All I will say is one word...BOB! If you know what I'm talking about well good on ya!
