The next day, Optimus woke and found two sets of arms wrapped around him. In a way, it felt strange, and in another way, it was very welcome. Optimus blushed as he felt a cool breath upon his neck. He looked over and saw Jetfire. Optimus smiled before he moved, which woke up Landmine. Landmine smiled as he noticed Optimus was awake. Landmine kissed the Prime with a hot dominant kiss. Optimus loved it. Jetfire woke up a few minutes later and kissed the Prime. Optimus kissed back. They wanted a bit more, but Optimus had to reluctantly duck out, as he had much work to do. They allowed him to go.

Optimus then headed to his office. He tried to put the thought of Jetfire and Landmine out of his processor right now, or he would never get any work done. He had lots of reports and other data pads littered on his desk. Optimus made quick work of some of them, but others required more time. Some of the ones that took time were supposed courting contracts regarding Lancex. Optimus hadn't seen things like these in years since way before the war, but he knew them well. The one bot usually excused from these things was the Prime. Some of the contracts were quickly rejected, for various reasons. But then, Optimus came across the one from Scourge and Evac. While it didn't contain all the pieces required, Optimus knew these two were more compatible with Lancex than the others.

Optimus then commed Scourge and Evac for them to come to the Prime's office. Scourge and Evac made a beeline for the office, unsure what the Prime wanted to talk to them about. Optimus greeted the pair in his full on Prime mode. He asked various questions and such. Scourge and Evac answered as best they could. Optimus didn't care for all of the answers, especially from Scourge, but he realized that these two had the best chance of winning Lancex's spark. Optimus gave them his blessing as Prime and as Lancex's brother, but he also gave the pair a warning – they better treat the bot right or else there would be hell to pay and it would be paid with their sparks. Scourge and Evac acknowledged the warning and soon left. Optimus was exhausted then, and in needing some support, Optimus headed for his own mates.

After leaving the office, Scourge and Evac looked to each other. They now had the blessing they needed. They hoped that Lancex would still accept them as mates. Only time would tell.
