Dragonfly (C) Me
Rhythmbeat (C) Orianprime92
Transformers (c) Hasbro?
Rhythmbeat was already waiting for Ironhide in his room, pacing the floor and rubbing her helm anxiously when he walked in. He was followed by Optimus and Bumblebee their faces embarrassed and anxious.
"So she finally found out huh?" The femme sighed. The smallest mech nodded.
"Well, now what?" Bee asked, giving her a half-hearted grin.
"I don't know how about you try talking to her, dumb-aft!" Rhythmbeat snapped, her red optics flashing angrily.
"Don't talk to Bee that way!" Optimus growled, putting a protective hand on his bond-mate's shoulder
"I'll talk to anyone any way that I like. That includes you too Prime." She spat back.
"You'll keep a civil tongue in your head both of ya!" Ironhide shouted, smacking them both upside the helm. Both mumbled a "Yes sir" and sat on opposite sides of the room.
"Now catch me up here. What the frag happened to make Fly cry like that?" The old mech demanded, looking pointedly at Bumblebee. The bot swallowed and looked down.
"She walked in on me and Optimus…" He muttered.
"Doing what I wonder." Rhythmbeat snorted. Ironhide glared at the femme then turned his attention back to Bee.
"We were bonding sir." Bee said, his face heating up.
"Okay, awkward I'm sure but that wouldn't make our little youngling cry. She's made of tougher stuff than that. She is the next in line for Prime after all." Ironhide said, continuing to grill the yellow bot.
"It's because she's liked Bumblebee forever! And the fact that he turned her feelings down just last week without any explanation. Add all that onto walking on her big brother and role model fragging one of her best friends who just happens to be her crush. Yea, I think she had a good reason to cry." Rhythm snarled.
"Well excuse me for not wanting to frag with my best friend!" Bee yelled back.
"You could have at least given her an explanation!" She snapped.
"And you!" She said, rounding on Optimus.
"You were bonding with her best mech friend! Did you even think of what that would do to her? She looks up to you!" She raged, her face right in the Prime's. Ironhide sat back quietly and listened as the fight played out.
"Pardon me for not knowing every little detail of my sister's life! How was I supposed to know she had feelings for Bumblebee?" Optimus argued, towering over her.
"You don't know anything about her at all! But you would if you actually spent time with her rather than being your high and mighty self!" Rhythmbeat yelled. Bee stood up to defend his mate but Ironhide pushed him back into his seat.
"What do you know about our relationship? You're not her sister! You're a Decepticon for Primus' sake! You shouldn't even be allowed to be here!" Prime raged. She shook with silent rage and turned away from him. Ironhide reached for her.
"Beat, calm down kid." He said quietly, putting a hand on her shoulder. She shrugged it off.
"I know plenty about your relationship with her. She tells me everything because I'm her best friend. I'm always there for her. We've saved the other's life at least once and I'd do it again a million times over!" The femme said her voice quiet at first but gaining momentum.
"I'm as good as her sister! I'm sure as pit a better sibling than you! And yea, I used to be a Decepticon, but I've proved myself plenty of times that I've renounced their ways. I did it for the most important person in my life. Dragonfly. Why you would even bring that up just shows how little you know around here." Rhythmbeat hissed, turning on her heel and storming out of the room. Optimus stood silently in shock. The ex-con paused and turned back around.
"Oh and by the way, she's been crying for the past hour with Ratchet and right now she's coming to apologize to you for getting mad at you. She's going to tell you its okay and that she's perfectly fine with you two being together, that she's over Bumblebee. She's going to wish you luck and say she's happy for you and once again she's putting her feelings aside so that her loved ones can be happy." She said, looking sadly at the three mechs.
"I swear… Would it kill that bot to be selfish just once in her life cycle?" Rhythmbeat sighed, shaking her head. Optimus looked shocked.
"Gotta love the little mind link thing we've got, huh? Let's the other know what they're feeling and we can always find one another no matter how far apart we are." She explained tiredly.
"You always seem to forget your little sida's spark it tied to mine and mine to her's. It comes with saving someone's life." She said walking away, closing the door behind her.
