(OC POV)
"And I have to do this…why?"
"Because I said pretty, pretty please?"
"Your begging look doesn't work on me."
"Sky-"
"I'll do it. But only because you get annoying when you don't get your way."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
"Yeah, whatever Sideswipe. So all I have to do is go to the med-bay and distract Ratchet long enough for you to set your trap in place?"
"Yup!"
"Why do I have a feeling everything will go wrong?"
"Have faith! I got this all under control!"
"That's what I'm worried about."
(An Hour Later)
"This is exactly what I was worried about." I grouched with my arms crossed over my chest and my optics averted to the ground to avoid Optimus' disappointed stare, Sides squirming in place where he stood beside me with a wide grin on his face at the fact that his prank was a success. Sunstreaker sighed in aggravation from where he stood behind us in front of the door to Optimus' office, the Prime and Prowl standing in front of us along with a now fuchsia pink medic that was glaring angrily.
"What were you thinking Skystreak? I thought you knew better." Optimus rumbled quickly, his everlasting patience showing through as he kept Ratchet from attacking us out of fury.
"Apparently where this idiot is involved my common sense goes out the window." I murmured as I glanced at the silver front-liner who was bouncing on his pedes next to me, his helm whipping to the side to look at me with wide surprised optics before they softened.
"Agreed." Ratchet grumbling out angrily, the Prime turning his helm slightly to send the livid mech a warning glance born from the protectiveness he held for me.
"Did he bribe you? You must have a reason for following him blindly." Prowl asked emotionlessly, the mech probably throwing a party inside his helm at the fact that he would get to punish Sides again.
"I love him." I said immediately, all three of the mechs in front of me giving me a dry look at the proclamation while Sides smiled happily. "And he also gets unbearably annoying when he doesn't get his way." I added which they subtly nodded in agreeance to, Sides gasping as if it insulted him though we all knew damn well that he used that exact trait to get what he wanted.
"Now I must decide a punishment for both of you, as unwilling as I am towards it." Prime said as he glanced at me with softening optics, his last words clearly pointed towards me which made Sides huff indignantly at the fact.
"Let me turn them into toasters for at least a day, teach them to prank me." Ratchet said which had Sunny rustling behind us into what I guess was an imposing posture, his EM field crackling with irritation as he practically dared Ratchet to do it without saying a word.
"It is my job to deal punishments, medic." Prowl said without even looking at said medic, Ratchet immediately whirling on him with wide but angry optics at the mechs offhanded words.
"Now wait just a second, enforcer." The CMO started before the two older mechs started arguing, Prime between them and looking on hopelessly as they ignored his efforts to separate them. Sides glanced over at me and I merely shrugged before squeezing his servo around mine, Sunny coming up behind me and pulling my frame into his possessively as we watched the older 'Bots argue like sparklings.
A/N: I know it isn't much, but it's all I could get out at the moment. I'll try to start updating regularly again and you beautiful people don't even know how lucky I am that you are so gracefully patient.
