(Clare's POV)
OH MY FLIPPING SON OF A PANCAKE S.O.B! This game was fragging scarier than Kristen Stewart's popularity! Don't even ask me how that comparison was even remotely viable because it just was ok?
I literally only had like two more days to be on base so Sides, the lovable fragger decided that we were going to have a video game marathon today! So far we had played COD Advanced Warfare, Alien Isolation, Minecraft, The Evil Within, and now he had me playing Outlast.
And I just could not take this game! It was freaking terrifying on a level that I had never known from a video game before, besides Alien Isolation. Something about mental patients chasing me down naked just freaked me out even more though. Especially Chris the big military guy that ripped spines out! I could not tell if he was naked because it seemed like he had pants but I swear I could still see his blood stained ass! OH MY GOD IT WAS NASTY!
The twins were getting a massive amount of amusement out of watching me scream at every little scary part. I had already cried several times like the first time I saw the Walrider and he nearly made me want to piss myself! His little black ghostly aft was seriously freaking me out!
The controller was clutched tightly while I steered my character through the part of the game where you had to find the two levers to turn the overhead sprinklers on to put the fire in the cafeteria out. It was also a part where Chris kept chasing me. Luckily it had been a few kliks since I had last seen him.
"Ok...no fat pig looking things out here..." I muttered to myself as I peered around a corner to check if it was safe. There was nothing so I crept out from behind it heading towards the darker part of the room where several tables were.
A rattling sound reached my audios making me literally freeze with a whimper. "No...no!" I squeaked in terror. Please don't come after me! Please don't come after me! OH PRIMUS FRAGGIT DON'T COME AFTER ME!
I crept along the floor in a crouch, my spark racing with fear. Terrified optics shot around on the lookout for Chris. So far so good...but I could still hear the chains rattling.
"Screw this! Screw this! Screw this!" I froze when the familiar large hulking form stepped out in front of me. "OH FUCK ME SIDEWAYS! JUST GO EAT A FUCKING POPTART ALREADY YOU GINORMOUS PIG SKIN! OH FUCK HE LOOKED THIS WAY! HE LOOKED THIS WAY!" My tone bordered on hysteria at the end.
The twins were saying nothing while they watched me. Not comforting me, not offering any advice, nothing. Aftholes.
Thankfully he turned away from my character and walked the other way. "That's right go that way Brittany!"
"Brittany?" Sides snickered.
"Don't judge me cherrypop." I snapped irritably. "I gotta find this lever so I can get away from Brittany!"
There was a small gap between two shelving units at the end of a corridor that I slid through. "Fuck you Brittany! Fuck you! You can't get through here you window licker!" I flipped the screen off for no freaking reason before turning my character AKA Miles pusscakes to go in through the door right next to the shelves.
Bathtubs? Umm there were bathtubs all over the room but it didn't look like a bath-WTF!? "Is...is that guy bathing a naked body in blood?"
Sure enough there was a patient propped up on his knees next to a blood filled tub containing a mutilated body of another patient...and he was like feeling the body up like he was bathing it. All while he muttered things about how he had to make sure that he got him all clean or something like that.
"You-you need help. Seriously. Have you ever heard of Dr. Phil...or Dr. Drew? They can probably help you." With that I crept past him to enter the only other door in the room.
YES THERE WAS A FRAGGING LEVER IN HERE! A small whoop of triumph escaped me as I flipped the damn thing on! Only one more lever to go! "Take that Walrider! Take that!" Why I said that I have no idea...
"You really get into these games don't you?"
"What's the point in playing a video game if you can't get into it Sunny? Think of it like...when you paint and you get really into it. Well I get really into my games."
He snorted. "Games and art are nothing alike."
I snorted back while I moved my character Miles Pusscakes back into the room where Brittany was lurking around, but otherwise said nothing. Slowly making my way into the main room, I was once more brought to a stop when the sound of chains rattling reached my audios. "What the frag is this guy? Death from Persona 3?"
"Who?" Sides looked at me curiously.
Brittany appeared on screen before I could formulate a response. I screamed and ran like hell in the other direction. "NOOOOOOOOOOO! SCREW YOU BRITTANY! SCREW YOU! GET ANGER MANAGEMENT!"
Both twins laughed at my frantic scramble to find somewhere to hide. "It would probably help if you weren't trying to hide your face behind the controller." Sides pointed out.
"Shut up Sides! You just don't understand what this game is doing to me!"
"No I don't because I don't get scared of video games."
"Shut up!" I dipped into a locker. I swear that I was as freaking scared as my character was!
Brittany walked in front of my locker making my breath catch. My servos clutched at the controller harder anxiety spiking.
A sudden ping on my HUD actually made me jolt up on the couch so hard that I hit myself in the face with the controller. The force sent the controller flying into the side of Sides' helm with a resounding thwack.
"Dang it Mikeala!" I cursed when her name popped up. She had sent me a text message.
:Hey Clare you wanna go out clubbing when you come back? I'm trying to get Sam to go too. Maybe Sides and Sunstreaker will want to come?:
Clubbing? Did she remember how hard it was to get me to go to a school dance? Sometimes I was sure that she just didn't think things through.
:You think that I would go clubbing? Don't you remember how the dance went?:
:Come on Clare! You've been on base for over a week now! I want to go do something fun before school starts up again! PLEASE?!:
"Who are you talking to?" Sides asked.
"Mikeala..."
"What does she want?"
"She wants to go out clubbing when I come home."
"Clubbing?"
"Yeah it's when people go out to a club and dance, listen to music, drink if they're of age...stuff like that. She wants to drag Sam and I to one. I told her no but she's being persistent."
"Why don't you want to go? It sounds fun."
Sunny snorted. "Who would want to go to a club with a bunch of humans?"
"It's not because they're humans Sunny...I just don't really do things like that often. In fact I've never gone clubbing before."
"Never?"
Oh shit...the way Sides asked that made warning bells go off in my helm. Maybe if I didn't answer him whatever twisted idea he had would dissolve. Unlikely.
He leaned in until he was less than an inch from my face. "I'll take that silence as a yes."
"I'd rather you didn't take it any way at all."
His face split into one of his famous mischievous grins. One that meant absolutely nothing good for me. "So Mikeala wants you to go clubbing eh? Hmm it's been a long time since Sunny and I went out for something like that..." Oh Primus he had that glint in his optics.
"Wait there were clubs on Cybertron?"
"Of course there was! Bots went there to dance and drink high grade among other things. Sunny and I used to go often, well I had to drag him there but he got over it."
The mental images of Sides coaxing Sunny to dance invaded my processor. Damn even in my internal musings he looked slagged off. I almost burst out laughing just barely catching myself before I did. "Ok so this matters because...?"
"Because we can take you! It'll be fun!"
My energon ran cold. "No. No way. I told Mikeala no and I'm telling you no."
"Please sweetspark! Please! We have an off cycle tomorrow so we can go! Pretty please with cream and energon candy on top?"
Irritation lanced through me when, as soon as he said that my HUD pinged with another text from Mikeala, threatening to sic Sides and Sunny on me if I didn't willingly go. :No. No. A thousand times no!:
:PLEASE! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!:
While she was begging me Sides got down and hugged my midsection. "PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!"
"Sunny I'm going to kick your brother's aft."
He snorted. "It would do you no good baby. Feel free if it will make you feel better though."
I huffed. "No Sides. No way. I am not dressing up in a slutty outfit or going out dancing. No."
He looked up at me with desperation. "PLEASE SWEETSPARK! I'LL DO ANYTHING THAT YOU ASK ME TO AS LONG AS YOU COME WITH US! PLEASE! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!"
How long was he going to keep this up? Mikeala kept sending me texts too, that combined with Sides' constant begging was driving me up the wall! "You don't even know if Optimus will let you go off base for a night out Sides!" I reasoned. "You two are soldiers! What if he needs you for something important and he can't get a hold of you?"
"He might let us though!"
"And he might not! Look why can't we just do something together here? Do we have to go out dancing when Sunny and I don't even really like it?"
"If he says we can then yes!"
I mulled that over for a few astroseconds. Chances were that Optimus would say no even if it was their off cycle so the odds were in my favor. Then again there was always the chance that he would say yes because it was technically their time to do whatever they wanted... And with Mikeala hounding me, and having Sides' comm frequency, well if she recruited him then odds were against me.
"I'm gonna ask him!" Sides suddenly declared. "And you're coming with me!"
"Wha-?!" He swept me up too fast for me to protest.
That was how I found myself being toted to Optimus' office by my overgrown mechling of a mechfriend so that he could ask to go clubbing. Oh shit...this was not going to go well I could feel it.
Sides signaled once we were outside the door.
"Enter."
He strode in confidently.
Optimus looked up from his data pads when we walked in. "Sideswipe to what do I owe the visit?" He asked politely.
Sides got straight to the point. "Tomorrow Sunny and I have an off cycle and we wanted to know if we could take Clare out with Sam and Mikeala. She wasn't sure it would be ok with you so I came to ask."
"It is your off cycle to do with as you please. So long as you keep communications open so that you may be contacted with emergencies I do not mind."
SON OF A BUTTNUGGET! You had to say that didn't you Optmus? YOU HAD TO SAY YES DIDN'T YOU?! ARGH! NOW I WAS NEVER GOING TO GET OUT OF IT! NEVERRRRRRRRRR!
Sides gave me a smug look. "Ok. Well I guess we need to get things planned out don't we Clare?"
:Screw you.:
:Only if you want me to.:
:SIDES!:
I pouted the the entire way back to the twins room demeanor the complete opposite of Sides who was smiling smugly about his victory. It was so not fair that every time I did not want to do something Sides and Mikeala would team up on me to drag me into it.
"Oh stop pouting Clare it'll be fun!"
Sunny looked up when we entered the room again. "Sides got his way huh? He normally does."
I only pouted harder. "I don't want to go. You can't make me."
Sides copied my expression. "But sweetspark! I asked Optimus and he said that we could go! Why don't you want to go out places with us?"
I knew what he was trying to do, guilt trip me. Well it so was not going to work! "Sides that's not it and you know it! I just don't want to go out clubbing! The last thing I want is to see Sam try and dance when he's wasted and that's exactly what's going to happen! Mikeala will get us into a club that serves underage, then her first mission objective will be to get Sam drunk. I can so see him trying to strip naked and dancing to I'm Sexy and I know it!"
"I'm sexy and I know it?"
"It's a song! In fact back when I first met Sunny I dubbed it his song. You should listen to it sometime!"
"Do I want to know?" Sunny grumbled.
"No probably not. But that's beside the point! I am not going clubbing!"
"Please?"
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"Please?!"
"No!"
"Pretty please?!"
"Nononononononono!"
Sides sulked down into the couch giving me his absolute best pouting face. "Please sweetspark? I promise that if you don't like it we can leave as soon as you want to! Promise! We'll take you either home or somewhere else!"
"Sides..."
He scooted closer to me and pressed a puppy kiss on my lips. What I meant by that is that it was one of those super soft and sweet ones that were geared towards bribing somebot. It made my spark kick up with that strengthened fluttering sensation. "Sides..." I sighed dejectedly. When he looked like this I just couldn't say no to him...
"Please?"
"Fine. But I swear to Primus that if you don't hold to your promise I'm going to jam my ped up your aft."
Sides let out a whoop of excitement. "Message Mikeala back and tell her that we can go then!"
Pushy little monster! :Today is your lucky day, Sides talked me into your crazy idea. But I have to approve of whatever outfit I wear! As in nothing too slutty!:
:Awesome! Alright I'll come by your place tomorrow afternoon so we can pick something out! We're going to go to Club LoL.: (Made that up)
:That one downtown that sells alcohol to minors? You're trying to get Sam drunk aren't you? Have you seen him sober? Do you really want to exacerbate that?:
:Yes. Well I have to do some work down in the garage so I'll text later ok?:
:Alright bye.:
"I can't believe I let you idiots talk me into this."
"You let us talk you into it because you're a secret party animal."
"Not even close Sides...not even close. I like to have fun and act like an idiot sometimes but clubbing, parties, and dancing are not my things." I guess it really didn't matter now did it? Best to just relax and play some more scariest game ever for now AKA Outlast. "Hand me the controller Sides."
"You want to play more?"
"Yes. It'll help take my processor off of the fact that I agreed to go clubbing."
He shrugged and handed it to me. "It's not that bad sweet. We'll have fun if you just let loose and be your normal fun loving self."
"I'm always my normal fun loving self just ask Brittany."
Funny thing, now that I was frustrated the game wasn't quite as scary. It definitely was not as scary as the thought of picking out an outfit with Mikeala tomorrow. Now that was a terrifying thought.
What's the worst that could happen? What's the worst that could happen?
With Mikeala and Sides running this little show...
A lot could go wrong... Oh friggin hell.
No one was home when we arrived there the next day. I had contacted my Aunt and Uncle to let them know I was coming back so it surprised me that they weren't here. I wandered into the kitchen finding a note on the fridge.
'Clare, your Uncle and I had to go see your Aunt Lynn. She's quite ill so we will be staying with her for a few days. Sam went out with Mikeala earlier, but he should be back by three. We left money on the hall table in case you needed it. Love Aunt Judy.'
Ok so Aunt Judy's sister was sick that explained a lot. Well I guess all that I had to do until Mikeala and Sam got back was to hang out with Sides and Sunny.
They had gone upstairs to my room already with my stuff so I just made my way up there after grabbing some sodas out of the fridge, and letting the dogs out to use the bathroom quick.
Frankie and Mojo followed me up the stairs to my room after I let them back in. The twins looked up when we came in, both were seated on my bed doing nothing. Mojo who had grown quite attached to Sides jumped up on the bed to beg for a petting that Sides was happy to give.
I had to heft Frankie up since he was too fat to jump. He plopped down on my lap as soon as I sat down prompting me to pet him gently. "Want one Sides?" I offered him a can of Root Beer.
"Sure."
We sat there quietly, occasionally chatting with one another while the dogs meandered around on the bed pestering Sunny, and begging for pets from us. It was funny to see Sunny's reaction to Mojo when he put his paws on his lap and let his tongue loll out of his mouth. He just stared at him like he was an extremely deadly alien organism, or the drool more specifically was a deadly alien organism.
A drop had landed on his pants making him practically squeal like a girl about how nasty organic creatures were. I had to remind him that he was fully capable of producing wet stuff from his mouth in real form or holoform. That still didn't make him shut up so I had taken pity on him and taken Mojo away.
Because I wanted to shove him into one of those weird little outfits that Aunt Judy had gotten for them! She had bought each of them several outfits for Christmas, one that I had picked out for each of them.
It only took me a few kliks to dress both up in their little Nyan Cat outfits. They did not look happy about it, Mojo almost had another seizure as he attempted to bite it off.
Sides and Sunny laughed upon seeing what I had dressed them in. And Frankie? He just laid on my lap unconcerned about the costume he was wearing. Lazy little monster. He perked up after Mojo rolled himself off the bed, jumping off the bed to chase after him. They ran out of the room and down the stairs leaving us alone.
Before the sounds of their pattering feet had even completely faded Sides pounced on me taking me down to the mattress. He was propped up over me with his knees on either side of my hips his grinning face inches from mine.
His head dipped down lips capturing mine, shaggy red strands of hair tickling my face. He lowered himself down until our bodies were pressed together completely my thighs shifting to accomadate him.
The kiss was slow and gentle, unhurried, not lustful. He was just showing me affection not trying to work me up into some frenzy like normal. I felt him smack his lips against mine several times playfully making me laugh.
And then his fingers drifted down to my sides in a fluttering caress. This time I did break away as a laugh bubbled in my chest. My entire body arched bucking up to try to dislodge him. "Sides stop it!"
"Nope."
I tried to grab his hands but he had me pinned underneath him. "Sunny help me!"
Before Sunny could even think about moving Sides moved down to my stomach, lifted my shirt, and started blowing raspberries against my skin. I squealed and smacked at his head laughing so hard that I was afraid that I might snort. "SIDES! STOP IT!"
And then I did go and laugh so hard that I snorted. Sides immediately stopped blowing on my stomach to look up at me curiously. I blushed and buried my face in the pillows with a pitiful moan. Why had I just done that?!
"Did you just snort?"
I didn't answer him because of my embarrassment.
Unfortunately this was Sides that I was dealing with and when I refused to answer him he started blowing on my stomach again.
Fearing that I would lose it again I relented and answered in a meek voice. "Yes I did."
He stopped blowing raspberries and grinned up at me. "Awww Clare snorts when she laughs!"
"Sides...stop! It's embarrassing!" I hated when I snorted! Seriously I could say the most embarrassing things possible and be perfectly ok with it! But all I had to do was snort once and it was all over. The sound was...argh! I hated it!
"It was cute."
"It is not cute when I snort!"
"Yes it was. You kind of sounded like Frankie when he snorts."
Was that supposed to make me feel better? Wait was that his actual attempt to make me feel better? What was I supposed to say? 'Thanks for comparing the sound I just made to the sounds my little boston terrier makes?'
Sunny smacked his forehead tiredly. "Sides I don't think that helped."
"Why not?"
"Because you're an idiot."
"Am I an idiot because I just am or because I thought she sounded cute?"
Sunny opened his mouth only to freeze as he processed the question. He seemed to realize something because he glared at Sides. "The first one!"
Sides lunged at Sunny tackling him off the bed. "I AM NOT AN IDIOT!"
Sunny roared in response as the two started a full out wrestling match in my room bumping into shit and knocking things over. I was content to just lay there and watch so long as it prevented attention from being drawn back to me. It was pretty amusing to watch them, especially since Sides had gotten into watching WWE so he kept trying to copy the moves.
With a war cry Sides suddenly tried to spear Sunny only to miss when his twin dodged at the last astrosecond. Instead he planted himself head first into the wall...like he smashed a hole in it with his head.
I gasped in outrage but he paid no mind as he pulled himself out like he hadn't just gone through a couple inches of plaster. Neither of them seemed to care that he had just wrecked my wall either. Me? I was pissed! I was so going to get grounded for this! And what was worse was that he had damaged my mural!
They kept roaring at each other and wrestling anyways.
I got up from my bed to approach the damaged wall at the same time that Sunny got Sides in a headlock and punched him on top of the head repeatedly.
The same head that had just bashed a huge hole in my freaking wall! It was even bigger than his head! My eye twitched when I looked at it up close. Ok I could fix it with some plaster! All I had to do was go out in the garage and get it! Easy ri-!
CRASH!
"Oh frag..."
Oh no what did they do now? I slowly turned towards where they were standing next to the remains of my desk...where one of them had obviously either been thrown or tackled onto hard enough to make the legs snap. They were staring at me wide eyed and sheepish.
"Ummm sorry?"
My jaw dropped as the beginnings of a temper tantrum started up...like one of those times when Sam ate my candy without asking me. Body acting on autopilot I shot to my feet with an enraged growl. "You-you! You just punched a hole in the wall with your head and now you shock an awe on my desk?!"
"I'm sorry sweetspark."
I had to forcibly calm myself down. "It was an accident. It's ok, I just need to go out to the garage and get the plaster."
"I'll do it." Sides offered.
"No no it's ok. It'll only take a klik to fix the wall. If you want to help you can start by cleaning up the wood splinters on the floor so that Frankie and Mojo don't choke to death on them."
If possible Sides looked even more dejected when I said that.
On my way past them I stopped to wrap both in a hug. "It's just a wall Sides. From now on be careful in my family unit's home though ok? Can you do that for me?"
He nodded.
"Good." I kissed them both gently on the lips before pulling away. "Now I'm gonna go get the plaster so I can fix the wall. Clean the wood up and put it in a trash bag ok? After that I'll vacuum it up, until then I need you to make sure the dogs don't come in here."
They nodded and moved to clean the wood up.
Satisfied that they were not going to break anything else I left to go get the plaster, closing my bedroom door on the way out as a precaution in case the dogs came back upstairs.
When I got out to the garage I felt my eye twitch again when the shelves contained no plaster. None. My irritation spiked all over again from where it had cooled down.
"Ok no reason to get angry...just go inside...eat some mint chocolate chip ice cream...and call Sam to ask him to bring some plaster home." I chanted to myself as I made my way inside the house. It calmed me down a bit.
"Clare where are the trash bags?" Sides called as he came down the stairs.
I paused in opening the freezer to answer him. "In the drawer right here." I got one out for him.
He walked in to grab it.
But I hardly paid it any mind when I pulled the carton of ice cream out of the fridge...only to freeze at how empty it felt. I put it on the counter and pried the top off feeling a swell of rage envelop me when it was in fact empty. Sam...
Sides paused beside me trash bag in hand. "Sweetspark? You just twitched funny."
Did I? DID I?! My hand clutching the ice cream scoop tightened until an audible sound of metal groaning permeated in the room. The sound set me off completely. Rearing away from the counter I flung the empty container across the room with an enraged shriek. Then while Sides started trying to talk me down I took the ice cream scooper and just snapped it in half like a twig.
"ARGHHH! WHO PUTS THE ICE CREAM CONTAINER BACK IN THE FREEZER WHEN IT'S EMPTY?!" I screamed so loud that the walls shook.
Sunny came racing into the kitchen at the same time that I went on a full out rampage that consisted of me tearing through the cupboards in a mad frenzy. Everything that I touched was flung out across the floor as I cursed Sam's name to the seventh pit of hell where Megatron was probably rotting right now!
Boxes, cans, packets of food, all of it went onto the floor sending the dogs and mechs fleeing to avoid being hit.
"IT'S CALLED A TRASHCAN USE IT! THROW THE TRASH IN THE CAN! OH MY FUCKING GOD IT'S NOT THAT HARD! WE COULD AVOID THIS ICE CREAM DISAPPOINTMENT IF SAM COULD JUST USE THE TRASHCAN!" I raged.
"Clare!"
"NO! NO! FIRST THERE'S NO PLASTER TO FIX THE WALL! NOW THERE'S NO ICE CREAM! NOOOO ICE CREAM! DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT'S BEEN SINCE I HAD ICE CREAM?! OVER A WEEK AND A HALF! AND NOW THERE'S NONE! NONE AND THE CARTON WAS STILL IN THE FREEZER! AHHHHHHHHHH!"
Candy! I needed candy! Candy or ice cream! NOW!
THERE WAS NO FRAGGING CANDY ONLY WRAPPERS! THE BAGS WERE FULL OF WRAPPERS IN EVERY DRAWER!
My rage only swelled to breaking point when I realized that Sam had eaten all of the ice cream and candy. All of it. Upon this realization I just started ripping the drawers out and throwing them onto the floor. "I'M GOING TO KILL YOU SAM! I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW TO USE A TRASHCAN AND THEN I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"
Arms suddenly wrestled me away from the counter, another set grabbed onto my flailing legs to keep them from hitting anything or anybot.
"Sweetspark calm down!"
Another enraged shriek bubbled up in my chest.
"Clare? What did you do to the kitchen?"
Everything literally stopped. Sunny pulled me down into his lap as soon as my struggling died down. I could see Sam standing in the doorway with Mikeala. Or more specifically I saw the grocery bags in his arms...and even more specifically the ice cream carton on top.
My eyes locked on it. "ICE CREAM!" Somehow I managed to get over to the ice cream. Don't ask me how. I grabbed the carton, ran over to a drawer, grabbed a spoon, popped the top off, and started shoveling it into my mouth.
Not one of them spoke.
It was neopolitan ice cream but I didn't even care! I just started crying as I ate it.
Sam sighed looking back and forth between my stunned mechs who were watching me with wide eyes. "Some advice to help you out in the future...Clare loves sweets and when she doesn't have them she becomes destructive. Especially when she's stressed out and she can't find any...then you better watch out. Likewise if you need a way to calm her down give her candy or ice cream."
Both nodded dumbly.
"Ice cream...the wall is broken and there's no plaster!" I sobbed.
"Ummm..." Sam held up a container of plaster... "Dad used the last of it so I had to get more."
I only cried harder and clutched the carton to my chest as I ate it far too fast to be healthy.
"What do we do about the kitchen?" Mikeala asked.
"When she's done she'll clean it up, she always does." Sam shrugged.
"But Sam we have to go pick out our outfits and stuff!" Mikeala huffed. "How about this? If you clean it up I'll reward you later?"
I nearly gagged at the implications. "EWWWW!"
Sam being the male that he was agreed to clean the kitchen for me. I did not want to know what her rewards so far had been...
"We have to get ready come on Clare!"
"Ice cream."
"You can eat more later." She took it out of my hands and stuffed it back in the freezer. "Come on I brought some of my clothes just in case you didn't have anything...like club worthy."
I was tugged out of the room past Sam, Sides, and Sunny, the latter of who was grimacing at the mess. "This could have all been avoided if you would only learn how to throw empty containers and wrappers into the trashcan."
Mikeala ushered me upstairs before he could respond.
Hey at least I was feeling better with a belly full of ice cream! Yay ice cream! Boo for dressing up all nice and stuff! BOO!
Ok seriously it took Mikeala over three hours to decide what to wear! And she had to approve of what I was wearing as well. So now both of us were decked out in outfits that I would not ever be caught wearing normally, makeup, with our hair styled.
Mikeala was wearing short light wash jean shorts, a black skin tight belly shirt tank top, with a black leather jacket on over it, her feet were wrapped in black pumps. Her hair was loose and curled, and her face was done up with the smokey eyes look.
Me? She had somehow forced me into a knee length dark silver almost black off the shoulder dress that hugged my curves until it flared out slightly at my hips, yet somehow still hugged them. On my feet were black high heeled boots. My hair was twisted up into a neat braided bun with my bangs side framing my face to the right as usual. My makeup was almost identical to her's only she had dark navy liner on me instead of regular black.
I did not want to wear a dress! Anybot would be able to see my black lace underwear if I even bent over a little bit! And she had me wearing a strapless bra! Strapless! Are you fragging kidding me?!
She noticed my expression and scowled. "You are wearing that."
"But what if someone sees my ass?"
"The only people you have to worry about seeing your ass are Sides and Sunstreaker. By the way before we go downstairs I have to ask how things are going with them? Have you made any progress in terms of fooling around?"
"Mikeala! Don't ask me that!" I blushed horribly.
She gasped. "You have! I want to hear what happened!"
"No way! Let's just go already!" Anything to avoid having this conversation! I left her there when she started trying to badger me to tell her more.
"At least tell me if you've given them a BJ!"
I almost tripped over my own feet. "WHAT?! NO!"
She raised a brow at me. "No? You really haven't tried that yet?"
"NO! Why are we even having this conversation in the first place?!"
"Because we're best friends and BF's talk about things like this."
She had me there...and well if I could talk to anyone about things like this it would be Mikeala. I mean she had experience that she could use to advise me on certain things. "No I haven't done that yet. We've really only like done some heavy petting, making out, and well the other day we ummm...well I let them rub their spikes over my...umm yeah. But other than that nothing else has happened."
"Well you are still a virgin so I guess that after three months it's not surprising that you still haven't done more. It took me a little longer to do much too. Work into it at your own pace but don't be afraid to explore and try new things. Your fear and inexperience will hold you back but the more you try the less it will bother you, and the more you'll enjoy what you're doing."
"Ok. Thanks Mikeala."
"No problem now let's go downstairs." She took my hand and led me down the stairs into the living room. The twins were sitting with Sam on the couch when we walked in, Sides strategically placed between Sam and Sunny. "Hello!"
Sam jolted first when Mikeala called out from the bottom of the stairs, then my mechs slowly turned towards us as well. Jaws literally dropped. All of them. Seriously.
When their eyes landed on me it made me want to hide behind Mikeala. They approached before I could, Mikeala giving me a shove before she went over to where Sam was standing.
The three of us just kind of stared at each other for a few moments, during which I took in what they were wearing. As usual they were wearing tops that matched the color of their paint and hair, only they were muscle shirts that exposed every rippling muscle on their bodies. Both were wearing black vans, and dark wash jeans. Oh shit...they even had their hair done up messier than usual...like sex hair but not quite that messy.
"You look hot." Sides and I said simultaneously.
I stammered momentarily. Luckily Mikeala ushered us along before it could get too embarrassing.
"We have to go if we want to get a good place in the line." She rushed us all outside and into the respective alt modes.
I ended up in Sunny's alt for the fifteen klik drive to the club. "So umm does Bee get to come inside too or is he staying on guard outside?"
Sunny grunted. "I think that he's coming inside too. Flareup, Hound, and Chromia are running patrol now so it's relatively safe. If anything comes up comms channels are left open in case one of them needs to contact us."
"Oh."
"Why?"
"I just thought it might get boring for Bee to have to take Sam all over the place. He doesn't seem to be able to revert to his real form, or even use his holoform very often. I know that it probably bothers him."
"We're pretty comfortable either way actually. It's nice to be able to take our real forms for many reasons, but we're just as accustomed to our alt modes." He reached across the center console to take my hand in his. "I guess this one's not so bad either."
My spark warmed. I leaned my head on his shoulder for the rest of the drive to Club LoL.
When we got there the base could be heard from several blocks away. Lights were flashing in every color imaginable from inside, and a line of people were standing outside. We stepped into the throng of people to wait to get in. Bee came up to us wearing a yellow t-shirt with black stripes, and some black jeans and sneakers.
"Hi Clare!"
"Hi Bee."
"Did you enjoy your stay on base?" He asked as he sidled up beside Sunny, Sides, and I.
"Yeah. Well a lot of it I don't even remember because Jacky turned me into a sparkling."
His baby blue eyes nearly bugged out of his head. "What?"
"He turned me into a sparkling. I spent almost a week like that."
"I bet Jazz and Prowl enjoyed it though."
"Yeah. I think opi's a little bummed out that I got turned back. He keeps thinking about me riding around in his hold. I wish I could just mass shift until I was small enough so that I could ride in there again, if only to make him feel better."
"What's a sparkling?" Sam butted in.
"A baby Cybertronian." Bee answered him.
Now it was Sam's turn to have his eyes bug out. "He turned you into a baby?!" He yelped.
"Yup. But maybe this isn't the best place to have this conversation?" Especially around a scrap ton of people who could hear us.
Taking the hint we all changed to various other topics until we were allowed inside the club. That was an experience to go through since the bouncers wanted to flirt with Mikeala and I. A swift powerful glare from my mechs had scared the two men enough to stop flirting with me.
We got in right after that, finding a table in one of the corners large enough for all of us to sit at. Mikeala left to get some drinks, AKA to start her mission to get Sam drunk. The rest of us sat around chatting with one another until she returned. She handed me a cup of Dr. Pepper, Sam she handed something that was definitely alcoholic if the way he gagged was any indication.
Sides and I snickered at his reaction. "Sam's never gotten drunk before?"
"No."
He hummed thoughtfully. "Think he'd be slagged off if I took vid files to embarrass him with later?"
"Yes. Do I care enough to tell you not to? No. Would I like to see embarrassing footage of him drunk later? Yes."
"You got it sweet. Until then do you wanna try dancing?"
"Do I have a choice?"
"No."
I sighed. "Lead the way."
"Coming Sunny?"
Sunny rolled his eyes before getting up. Together the three of us made our way into the throng of swaying bodies.
The Business by Yung Berg Ft. Casha was playing.
For a few moments Sides and Sunny tried to figure out the beat of the song, while I stood there nervously. It wasn't that I was bad at dancing but it was more like I didn't like others watching me. I was actually not bad at it when I was alone in my room dancing to whatever was on my stereo. In front of others I tended to get so nervous that I tripped over my own feet.
I was actually pretty good at dancing to this song though! My body started subconsciously swaying to the beat. When I noticed I almost came screeching to a stop, instead I forced myself to actually start moving my body to the beat faster.
Both mechs stared at me in surprise making me smile nervously.
Mikeala dragged Sam into the circle we had made before either of them could move towards me. "Oooh Clare I thought you said you couldn't dance!"
"I can't really. Not well anyways."
She winked flirtatiously at Sam and approached me to dance with me. "You could have fooled me! Well since our idiot males are gaping too much to dance right now we should dance together!"
All I could do was blink as she circled me, swirling her hips in time to the beat, body brushing against mine suggestively. I had two options: Die of embarrassment, or say to hell with it and dance before I let myself die of embarrassment. For obvious reasons I chose to go with the latter.
I could tell that it surprised not only her but the twins when I turned and picked up the pace of my swaying, twirling, and gyrating. The two of us danced around one another, touching occasionally, dancing front to front or back to back. Taking it down to the floor then bringing it back up together. We kept it strictly teasing though since we weren't into that. It still seemed to achieve what it was meant to, and that was to make our dates drool.
None of them seemed to want to move to interrupt us. We danced through The Business, Lay it Down, and Locked out of Heaven before I even realized it. It was actually more fun than I thought it would be! My embarrassment ebbed away quickly.
Mikeala left my side to go over to Sam after Locked out of Heaven was over. The twins approached me instead of me having to go to them caging me in from the front and back as Uptown Funk by Bruno Mars blasted from the overhead speakers.
The light up dance floor vibrated with the bass booming from the speakers. Each twin grinned at me as they started moving not only themselves but me to the beat. Our bodies were pressed flush against each other, me in the middle sandwiched between them. It did not hinder my movements in the least.
They grabbed at my hips, ass, and back as we surged through the song, then straight into Rolling In The Deep by Aretha Franklin. Sunny who had been behind me spun me around so that we were chest to chest leaving Sides to plaster himself to my back.
Sweat started coating my skin in a thin sheen reflecting the strobe lights above us. We moved our hips in sync to the beat like they were glued together. I leaned up on my tiptoes so that my mouth was right next to his ear. "What happened to not knowing how to dance?"
A hot gust of air ghosted against my ear. "I said that I didn't know how humans danced not that I couldn't. I'm good at everything when I want to be." His tongue flicked over the shell of my ear teasingly.
Sides squeezed my ass at the same time making me moan softly. "No fair."
"All is fair in love and war sweetspark."
"Oh really?"
"Mmmm hmmmm."
"Well then I guess I better play the game the right way huh?" In a flash I spun out of their arms leaving them standing there dumbfounded. With a laugh I made my way back over to the table where Sam, Mikeala, and Bee were sitting.
"Not fair sweetspark." The pout was literally audible in Sides' voice.
"All is fair in love and war loverboy." I mocked.
We sat down at the table. "So how drunk is he?" I asked when I noticed Sam swaying in his seat with a flush to his cheeks.
"Well...he's had three Heaven Sents, and a couple apple pie shots. So he's pretty fucked up. Isn't he cute when he's drunk?"
No not really, in fact he looked like he was going to barf.
"H-hey Mike...when-when do I get my reward?" Sam slurred before grabbing Mikeala's breast.
"Sam!" She slapped his hand off. "Keep that up and you don't get it! And my name's not Mike!"
"But Mikelana you promised to-to give meeee somethin nice if I cleaned up the kit-chen. Now let me feel ur boobs." This time he grabbed both and squeezed them.
"Oh my god..." I moaned in embarrassment. "Sam stop molesting Mikeala!"
"C-can I-molest someone else then?" He slurred.
"NO!" Mikeala and I yelled.
"God Mikeala I told you this was going to happen!"
"I didn't know he was going to turn into a pervert! Sam stop!" She slapped his hands away again.
"If I'm not llowed ta use my hands...den can I use my mouth?" As soon as he finished asking he tried to actually go at her boob with his mouth.
"SAM!"
"This is entertaining." Sides mused with a grin. "It's almost worth having to stop feeling you up on the dance floor."
Now it was my turn to smack Sides on the back of the head. "Sides do not exacerbate his pervertedness! You're bad enough as it is! Bee please help Mikeala get Sam off of her boob he's trying to suck on it."
"Ok." Bee grabbed Sam by the collar of his shirt.
"HEY! I WAS SUCKING ON THAT!"
OH MY GOD! "Sam we are in public! Get a grip on yourself!"
"Pffft grip smip! Suckin boobs is where it's at!"
I smacked myself in the forehead. You had to get him drunk Mikeala...you had to get him drunk! Poor Bee had to supervise him too! How much fun was that?
I was almost tempted to have Sunny and Sides watch him so that I could take Bee out for a song. Somehow I got the very distinct feeling that they would get jealous over something like that.
Screw it! Bee was my friend and I was going to make sure that he had some fun at least! The twins could be mad at me later! I stood from the table. "Bee let's go out on the floor for a few songs. Mikeala and the twins can watch Sam for a few."
The twins both looked at me like I was crazy.
"Just for a few songs! It's not fair to make Bee act as the babysitter for Sam all night." I placated them.
Both scowled like spoiled little children.
"We're just going to dance as friends. I just want to make sure that he has some fun ok?"
"No grinding or touching." Sides grumbled.
"If he gets closer than six inches I'm going to kick his aft." Sunny added.
I rolled my eyes. "Jealous much? We're not going to do anything innapropriate but there may be some casual touching since ya know we are dancing!"
Sunny suddenly stood and stormed off towards the back of the club.
I followed after him. "Sunny wait!"
He kept going thrusting open the back doors in his haste to get out.
I caught him right outside the door and spun him around. "Sunny what is wrong with you?"
His breathing was harsh, eyes were bright with his fury. "I don't want him touching you!"
"Sunny it isn't going to be like that and you know it! I don't have those kind of feelings for Bee! We're just friends."
"I don't care!"
Sides came out at that moment. "He's just being possessive Clare."
"I know...I know that but..." But I love him...them. I loved them. It took him looking at me with hurt and anger in those expressive blue eyes to make me see that for real. All this time I had been dancing around it when I should have just accepted it. If he knew what I felt would he know that there was no reason to be so jealous? Would he be ok with me wanting to be around other unbonded mechs?
My spark suddenly did that strange intense fluttering again. Was that my sparks way of making me realize what I felt? "If I told you that...that I..." I gulped hard on the words stuck in my throat. Everything in me was urging me to say those words so why was it so hard?
He tried to get me to let go of him. That hurt me so much more than any words ever had.
"If I told you that I love you would you understand that I don't want anyone else the way I want you?" I finally got out.
Both of them froze completely even down to their breathing. The air became heavy with some sort of electricity or tension. It was like something was inhaling all the air making it hard to breathe. Hard to blink or think, or even to feel.
A million thoughts were running through my mind. First and foremost being possible rejection. Would they break my spark by admitting that they did not feel the same way, that it was only affection and not love? Was that even putting it lightly? People say that when you say this for the first time you don't know what to feel. You want to think the best yet your mind can only conjure up the worst case scenario. You make yourself vulnerable to be torn apart in the worst way possible, and just one moment of silence can make you feel like something is stabbing you in the heart...or in my case my spark.
Neither said anything...for one klik, then two, then three, four, five... I sank lower and lower into the beginnings of despair and sparkbreak. Until I drew away from him, turned, and walked back towards the club. My spark felt like it was cracking down the middle. It wasn't the first time...but it hurt the worst.
A hand suddenly spun me around so fast that I almost fell. I gasped, spark jumping in my chest as my eyes fell on the twins literally right in my face. Both pulled me forward into their chests in a tight three way hug.
They just held me like that for what felt like forever. Then...
"Do you mean it?"
I looked up at both of them, twin sets of eyes full of hope. "If I didn't mean it I wouldn't have said it. I'm sorry it took me so long to realize it, that I kept fighting it. But I love you both."
Identical beaming smiles broke out across their faces. They both swept me into hot fiery kisses, one after the other, over and over again.
"We love you too sweetspark."
Tears filled my eyes. "Really? You aren't just saying that because I did? Cause if you are I'm going to recruit Chromia and Ironhide to help me kick your afts." I choked out.
"If we didn't love you I wouldn't have said that."
I pulled them into another kiss.
My spark beat frantically in my chest.
And all I could think...all that mattered...
Was that they loved me. They said they loved me and I believed them. I believed and I felt the same way.
Being in love felt wonderful. I never wanted it to stop.
Not ever.
