By being in a loud city, it was relaxing and soothing. It felt like home; cars running on the street below twenty-four/Seven or people yelling at each other who are either drunk or not the smartest. The base is too quiet for me to be able to get any sleep.
The comfy queen bed of the hotel room we're, mostly me since Ironhide stays in his alt. mode (I got fed up not knowing and asked him that form is called), in made me want to never leave. It felt warm and pacifying, safe if you want to stretch the truth a little bit.
"Gabriel, it's time to head back," Ironhide's voice drifted into the air. Staying still to act as if I was asleep, he retaliates by pulling the blankets, including me, to the ground. My body on impact makes a small thud as it's wrapped up in the blankets that help cushion my fall.
My guardian sifts through the pile of blankets and finds me all snuggled up. He grasps hold of my wrist and tugs me onto my feet. Instead of standing, I allow my knees to buckle and slump back down into the blankets. He utters an irritated sound before hauling myself back up into a standing position. Once again, I collapse to the floor in a heap.
"Gabriel," he grumbles under his breath with a deadly tone to his voice. Groaning in announce for him making me leave my peaceful spot, I rise from my spot with rumpled clothes and horrible bed hair.
On the looks of the space around me, Ironhide has already packed up everything except a pair of PJ's for the plane ride home. Smiling in thanks to him, I take the set of clothes to the bathroom and change out of the pair from yesterday. Without having a dirty clothes bag for the clothes from yesterday to be put in, I stuff them inside my bag, not caring if they got more rumpled.
Leaving the bathroom, the only bed that is in the room is the one I slept on is now made and neatly put together. Ironhide is by the door, already to go with the key card in hand. He motions for me to follow him.
Following the holoform with my bag in my grasp, I wait behind him with my head down as he quickly checks out of the hotel. The lady at the reception desk smiles warmly at me and offer me a lollypop.
"Umm, n-no thank you," I kindly declined and hide myself more behind of my guardian to be out of sight of the lady. Ironhide places his hand on top of my head to reassure my jittery nerves. A random person is talking to me which is way out of my comfort zone.
"Your daughter is sure cute," she replies to my action. I suck in a sharp breath and grasp the fabric of the bag tighter in surprise.
"Thanks," he responds and leads me away from the hotel to his alt mode. He opens the door like a gentleman and takes my bag from my hand. He throws my bag in the back with the belongings from yesterday and gets in the driver side seat to continue the act of being a human.
We began our drive to the airport to go back to the base and to relax after a long, tense week. Even though we had been feuding for awhile, this week and helped calm the raging winds between us. Doesn't matter that we are okay with each other, I'm still going to prank him until he's no longer fun and a new target are needed.
When we arrived at the airport, a pair of soldiers are standing at the ramp. Their stance is lazy and bored looking until one of them spot us driving towards them. She quickly alerts her partner before standing guard.
Ironhide pulls up into the large Boeing plane and settles down in the middle. He takes up all the room he can and acts like a little scheisse to everyone.
The soldiers from before loaded the plane and shut the back ramp. They rush over to the seats on the outer edge of the inside of the plane and buckle in. Not later of a few seconds, the hunk of the metal called a plane began to move slowly.
"Buckle in and get ready for a bumpy ride," a voice spoke over the intercom, most likely the captain or his co-pilot. The seatbelt around me tighten to secure me into my seat for takeoff.
With the wind blowing harder then I realized, the take off was bumpy and shaky. Even when we are in the air, the plane had the hardest time leveling out.
After a few minutes of the plane no longer trembling, Ironhide allows me to exit his alt. mode. The soldiers are already sat down using a couple of crates and playing a game of cards to pass the time.
Knowing the flight back is going to be long and with none of my friends to hang around with, I stroll my way over to the pair of soldiers and smile shyly at them.
The lady that spotted us from before gave me a forced, close lip smile then return to playing the game at hand. Her partner quickly glared at her then turned his gaze at me. He gives me normal, goofy smile in return.
"Sorry about my friend here, she doesn't like being away from the base. Anyway, what are you doing over here?" he questioned. A shy, careful smile spread across my face.
"I was w-wondering if I-I co-could join your game of c-cards?" I responded timidly. Without missing a beat, he nods his head and grabs a few cards for me.
"Here, we are playing a game called Rummy. Do you know how to play Rummy?" He inquires. My eyes squint at him in confusion and shook my head to answer his question. "That's okay, I can teach you." We begin our game of Rummy.
After a few rounds of Rummy, we decided to change to a different game as Rummy was getting boring.
It during our fifth game of cards and many hours later, my eyes begin to droop in tiredness and I gently lean against Paul. Not even a few seconds later, a stronger pair of arms picked up my tired form and carried me to somewhere warm. That's where I finally fell asleep for the rest of the ride.
