AN: Don't let the title fool you, this fic is still rated T. Some Cybertronian time units you might need: klik = 1.2 minutes, nanoklik = 1 second, breem = 8.3 minutes.
"Where are Starscream and Airachnid?" Skyquake asked.
"Probably still lazing around in berth." Dreadwing answered, with a shrug. He had no interest in what happened between those two.
"They probably wore each other out last night!" Knock Out on the other hand…
"Who did?" Starscream asked, walking through the door, Airachnid close behind him.
"Who do you think genius?" Breakdown quipped; he had no desire to find out what happened between those two either.
"I think he means us…" Airachnid whispered to Starscream.
"Well then, now that the Nemesis' lovebirds have crawled out of their nest… how about we get started?" Knock Out asked, hoping there would be no objections.
"You know where you hid the bucket of wires better than we do, Knocks." Breakdown pointed out, making Knock Out realise this and go off to find it. About a klik later, he returned with the bucket of wires.
"You should all know what this means by now." He pointed out, before holding the bucket out for them. Each of the group grabbed a wire and held it up next to the others.
"Oh…" Knock Out looked a little nervous and annoyed. He'd got the shortest wire at last.
"About time you got that one. I was beginning to think you really had fixed it." Starscream sounded rather pleased.
"Who got the longest wire?" Who is going to be my source of humiliation? Knock Out added mentally. He glanced around the other hands holding the wires, and saw who it was.
"That would be me, doc." Airachnid told him, wiggling the wire between her fingers. She paused for a couple of nanokliks, before asking him.
"Truth or dare?"
"I am not being made to do anything ridiculous for your amusement this time! Truth." Knock Out answered, folding his arms. Airachnid pretended to be disappointed, but then thought of a particularly evil question that she believed she already knew the answer to.
"If you could frag any of the Autobots, who would you frag?" She asked, with as innocent a smile on her face as she could muster.
"You're seriously expecting me to answer this?" He asked her in response.
"Yes." Knock Out didn't like the sound of this.
:: How many of you think he is going to say Optimus Prime? :: She asked the others over a com-link.
:: Without any repercussions; who wouldn't answer Optimus Prime? :: Starscream answered.
:: I didn't say that. He probably will think I did though. ::
:: Clever. You want to get him to admit he has a crush on Optimus Prime, don't you? :: Dreadwing smirked.
:: Of course I do. :: Airachnid answered with a smirk of her own.
"When you are done comming each other…" Knock Out glared at them. They all then turned to look at him. Knock Out regretted saying that now.
"Well, I'd definitely frag Arcee, possibly Bumblebee and Optimus but that's all." No cheeping followed that answer and the rest of the former Dare Club smirked at him.
"You just said you'd frag Optimus." Starscream pointed out him. Knock Out apparently hadn't realised, if his reaction was anything to go by.
"What? No I didn't!" Cheeping greeted this answer.
"You kinda did, Knocks." Breakdown told him. Knock Out took a few nanokliks to go over what he'd said and then realised.
"I said I'd possibly frag him." It sounded weak, even to him.
"Which means you've considered it before?" Dreadwing phrased it in such a way that it seemed like a question. Knock Out didn't answer, which made them assume he had.
"You do have a crush on Optimus Prime!" Airachnid sounded triumphant.
"I actually don't." Knock Out's face turning pale blue didn't help his argument, but no one noticed the lack of cheeping following that answer.
"Then why would you want to frag Optimus?" Skyquake asked, deciding now to join in.
"Without any repercussions, who wouldn't want to frag the enemy leader?" Knock Out used as his excuse. When he didn't get an answer, he decided to move the game on.
"Who got the next shortest wire?"
"You didn't answer the question." Airachnid pointed out.
"You asked, 'which Autobots would I frag?' I do believe I answered that!" She reluctantly realised Knock Out was right. He then turned to each of the others.
"Starscream, truth or dare?" Starscream seemed shocked he was asked. Knock Out pointed to the wire in Starscream's hand. Starscream looked at it and whined, realising everyone else's wires were longer.
:: Do a dare. :: Airachnid told him.
:: What?! I don't want to be made a fool of! ::
:: I'll make it worth your while…:: The seductive way she said that made Starscream consider it.
"Dare." He answered, much to the surprise of the other mechs.
"Right then, you know how you and Airachnid are partners now?" Knock Out asked rhetorically. Starscream didn't deign it necessary to answer.
"Doesn't one partner sometimes sit in the lap of the other?"
"I think I'm going to like this dare…" Airachnid smirked; definitely knowing exactly how to make Starscream uncomfortable.
"Starscream, I dare you to let Airachnid sit in your lap until her turn." Airachnid began to move over towards Starscream, and was just going to make herself comfortable when Knock Out spoke again.
"Oh, and remove your crotch plating." Knock Out smirked. Starscream's squawk of outrage made it worth it.
"You expect me to do this? Do you know how hard it will be to…?" Starscream was interrupted.
"Not as hard as Airachnid is going to make you." Knock Out added, making the other three mechs laugh and Starscream's face turn bright blue. Starscream resigned himself to doing it.
"None of you look while I remove it then…" Starscream wasn't surprised when the only one that didn't turn away was Airachnid. After he'd removed his plating, he gestured for Airachnid to sit in his lap. She did so, making sure to arrange her legs in such a way they didn't hit her partner when they twitched.
"You can all look now." Airachnid told them. They all turned around and sat down; since they felt a bit weird being stood up with the other two sitting down.
"Who's next?" Starscream asked, sliding his arms around Airachnid; he'd decided if she was going to be sitting on him for the next while, he wanted to be cuddling her.
"I am." Skyquake answered him. Starscream smirked; he'd been wanting to give Skyquake a dare for a while.
"Truth or dare?"
"I refuse to do any ridiculousness again. Truth." Skyquake answered, folding his arms.
"Right then…" Starscream paused with a whine, Airachnid had decided to adjust the way she was sitting. Starscream was sure that she rubbed herself against him like that on purpose.
"Skyquake, who do you… Airachnid! Quit fidgeting, I'm trying to speak!" Starscream squirmed a little, she was purposefully moving like that; it was arousing him. And she must know it… Primus, don't let me overload from this… He thought, his face turning brighter blue.
"But you clearly like what I'm doing, if what I've got jabbing my aft is anything to go by!" She told them all, making the other four mechs snigger and Starscream lower his head in shame.
"Can you not move while I'm trying to speak?" He asked her, quietly.
:: I'd like to be able to ask people things without whining and moaning at your actions. :: He added over com-link.
:: Whatever you request, oh sensitive one! :: Airachnid chastised him.
"I do believe I was going to give Skyquake his question, before I was so rudely interrupted." Starscream ground out, trying not to glare at everyone else for sniggering at his torture.
"Skyquake, who do you have a crush on?" Starscream asked, smirking at him. Skyquake froze at the question. He decided to tell a half-truth, and see if it was noticed.
"Thunderblast, no one else." Cheeping answered him.
"Hmm… but which was the lie?" Knock Out pondered.
"Do you have a crush on Thunderblast?" Starscream asked, this would answer Knock Out's question.
"Yes." Skyquake didn't sound ashamed of this fact. No cheeps. Dreadwing's face went bright blue; he and his twin were too alike! The other four started laughing.
"What?" Skyquake asked.
"You do know that Thunderblast has a crush on Megatron the size of Cybertron don't you?" Breakdown told him. Skyquake's reaction told him that, no, in fact he didn't.
"Ignoring that fact, I hope she has a thing for twins." Knock Out suggested. Breakdown looked as lost as Skyquake.
"What do you mean?" Skyquake asked.
"You mean you don't know?" Airachnid asked; looking shocked. Skyquake shook his head.
"Your twin didn't confide in you that he has the hots for her as well?" Starscream smirked; both of the twins blushed at that. He waited for both of the twins to stop blushing before pushing what he'd figured out on them.
"So, you like Thunderblast and… who else?" Starscream smirked; until Airachnid slightly adjusted her position in his lap. Skyquake blushed again; he'd been caught.
"N-no one…" Cheeping answered him.
"I don't think so." Knock Out smirked; this was going to be juicy!
"I really don't want to answer this…" Skyquake pointed out; hoping to be given an out.
"Tough. You have to." Airachnid told him.
"Or do you forfeit?" Starscream hoped Skyquake said yes; he had something really evil in mind.
"What does forfeiting entail?"
"You get told to do something else, which you must do instead." Knock Out told him, remembering the one time he did with a shudder.
"What do you suggest?" Skyquake thought it couldn't be worse than this particular secret.
"Make out with your twin." Starscream was answered with two shouts of 'What!' and shock from the others.
"That is… evil." Knock Out thought grudgingly; he wished he'd thought of it!
"I can't do that! It's… wrong!" Skyquake hoped that would Starscream choose something else.
"You either reveal your other crush, or that. Make your choice." Starscream told him, an evil smirk on his face. Skyquake muttered his answer to the question.
"What was that? Did you say something?" Starscream put one of his hands to his audio. He was enjoying this; the shock of the forfeit had made Airachnid sit still. Skyquake again said it quietly, just loudly enough for all of them to hear. Starscream pretended he didn't hear.
"Shout it out." Skyquake growled, before doing so.
"I have a crush on lord Megatron!" He was certain he heard it echo. The other five members of Megatron's hierarchy looked at him in shock.
"You're serious?" Airachnid asked, quieter than she normally would. Skyquake nodded.
"Bucket-head spins your turbines?" Breakdown asked, also receiving a nod. None of the others quite knew what to do with this information.
"Now that I have stunned you all with the truth, shall we move on with the game?" Skyquake smirked; he should have been feeling embarrassed, but couldn't with the looks of shock on the other five's faces. He waited for a few nanokliks, before speaking again.
"Dreadwing, truth or dare?" That seemed to get everyone's attention. The other three members of the, now disbanded, Decepticon Dare Club started chanting 'Dare!' Dreadwing seemed to be listening and so chose to do a dare.
"I dare you to kneel on all fours and have slime poured and rubbed over you for a breem." Skyquake saw a few looks of realisation with this dare.
"Isn't that one of the fleshies' therapy methods?" Breakdown asked, making Skyquake look confusedly at him.
"I came into the med-bay this one time, and these three were doing just that to Knock Out." Breakdown elaborated, pointing at the other three, former, Dare Club members.
:: Skyquake, please choose something else! :: Dreadwing purposefully didn't say this out loud; it would have looked very strange.
:: No. I know your weaknesses, just like you know mine. :: Dreadwing could almost hear the smirk in his twin's com. Then he knows about… that. Dreadwing thought, before reluctantly kneeling down as instructed.
"Let the torture commence…" Dreadwing mumbled under his breath. About half a breem later, all of the other five were armed with the necessary torture devices; as Dreadwing saw it anyway.
"Airachnid, stick him in place; I don't want him fleeing." Skyquake told her. She didn't think Dreadwing would do such a thing, but stuck his hands and knees to the floor anyway.
"I think he also needs this." Knock Out held a familiar strip of cloth in front of Dreadwing.
"What? You intend to…"
"You all decided I should be." Knock Out smirked at Dreadwing, before tying the cloth around Dreadwing's head; covering his optics. So, not only am I going to have to endure this torture for a breem; I also can't see who is causing it. Skyquake is bound to tell them where exactly to do it to get the best reaction as he puts it… Dreadwing worried.
:: Shall I go first? :: Skyquake asked the others.
:: You dared him, go right ahead. :: Starscream told him. The others had decided that Starscream could be allowed to join in, but only if he didn't replace his pelvic plating. Thankfully for him; either Airachnid hadn't the effect on him she'd been describing or he'd calmed down afterwards. Skyquake knelt down beside his twin.
:: How does it feel, knowing that you can't see what any of us are doing to you, and you can't escape? :: Skyquake asked, as though he wasn't the one kneeling by his twin. Dreadwing didn't deign to answer him, but he did worry about what his twin had said. Skyquake then rubbed a slime coated sponge down Dreadwing's cockpit, making said mech squirm and, was that a whine? Affecting you that much already? Skyquake pondered, before gesturing to the others to come closer. Three of them held a sponge. Starscream however, carried a bucket.
:: Walk more slowly, I have an idea. :: Starscream commed, before picking up his pace. He won't be expecting to be hit with anything yet! Starscream thought, before tipping the bucket's contents over Dreadwing's back; making sure to aim for his wings. A small… squeak was what he heard in response. He thought it couldn't be; Dreadwing didn't make such noises.
:: Did you hear that? :: He asked the others.
:: Hear what? ::
:: Did Dreadwing react? ::
:: Hear what? :: The three answers he got from Knock Out, Airachnid and Breakdown didn't make him feel any surer that he'd heard that at all. Only Skyquake thought to glance down at the poor mech stuck to the floor. He saw a blush on said mech's cheeks. So you did squeak! Skyquake then commed the others.
:: Make sure to rub his wings thoroughly, whichever of you decide to do them. :: Skyquake saw Knock Out and Breakdown raise their hands, so assumed they would scrub them. He then gestured for them to do so. Both of them knelt down and dropped the sponges; right into the centre of Dreadwing's wings. Now they were all certain they heard a squeak.
"Was that what you heard, Starscream?" Knock Out asked, receiving a nod. Knock Out and Breakdown then both began to rub the sponges in small circles; like they really were using the slime as a cleaner. Dreadwing squirmed a little, but didn't make any noise. Skyquake pointed to one side and knelt down, before gesturing to the other side. Starscream knelt down at the other side. Skyquake tightened one of his hands into a fist; then pointed at his hand holding the sponge. Starscream got the idea, and with an evil smirk lifted his sponge over Dreadwing's side. Skyquake copied him before holding up three fingers. Three, two, one… Both of them then squeezed the sponges. A high pitched shriek answered this action. They also both certain they heard 'frag' afterwards.
"Did you just hear…?"
"Yes." Starscream decided he really didn't like the evil smirk on Skyquake's face. Airachnid apparently took it upon herself to 'stimulate' the only other area she thought would be sensitive, as she had knelt down beside Dreadwing's legs. She then lifted the sponge and stroked it right down Dreadwing's crotch plate. Another high pitched shriek followed this action.
"Now." Skyquake told them, and all of them began to scrub and occasionally push down on the sponges. It didn't escape any of their notices that each time someone squeezed a sponge against Dreadwing, he let out a shriek.
:: Let me do something specific. :: Knock Out suggested. Skyquake nodded. Knock Out lifted his sponge up and positioned it directly over Dreadwing's shoulder, before wringing it out. Knock Out had to stifle giggles; that shriek had to have been louder than the others! He then moved around and repeated the action on the other side, again earning him a loud shriek.
"How does your own medicine taste, Dreadwing?" Knock Out asked, not expecting an answer. Dreadwing squirmed, really not liking this.
"Has… has it been a breem yet?" He asked, shrieking when someone, Airachnid but he wasn't to know that, wrung out a sponge against his aft plates. Skyquake had a glance at the amount of time that had passed. It was almost a breem.
:: Anyone know of a particularly nasty way to finish this off? :: Skyquake asked.
:: Allow me, you all squeeze some slime over his limbs, and I'll do something else…:: Skyquake didn't know what she was planning, but decided she could carry it out.
:: Is this going to be one of things you did to me? :: Knock Out asked.
:: Maybe. :: Was the answer. The other four moved to each of Dreadwing's limbs, with Airachnid moving to kneel beside his stomach. She dipped one of her fingers in the bucket by her side, before moving it to Dreadwing's stomach. She then began to 'write' a word on his stomach with the slime. Dreadwing squirmed at this treatment; he could sort of handle having slime poured over and scrubbed into him, but if they were going to write something on him… Skyquake is going to pay for this. He thought, wanting to growl but feeling that if he did someone would pour some slime on him and he would end up making more shrieks. It was when the others did wring slime out on to him again that he did shriek. When Airachnid stood back up was when all of the others stopped. They then all moved to stand in front of Dreadwing before Skyquake lifted the blindfold off.
"Did you enjoy the attention brother?" Skyquake asked. Dreadwing lifted his head and glared up at his twin. It didn't escape anyone's notice that Dreadwing's cheeks were bright blue, either from the noises he was making or… something else. Dreadwing felt the restraints being removed and wasted no time in standing up. This allowed everyone to see exactly what Airachnid had scribbled on his stomach.
"That is… appropriate." Skyquake just about managed to say, before laughing with the rest of them. Dreadwing grumbled; he was the only one that couldn't see what was funny.
"What?"
"One of us decided to write something on your stomach." Knock Out calmed down and told him.
"It says 'shrieky'." Breakdown told him, making Dreadwing's face go the bright blue it had been about half a klik before.
"Can I go and clean this off?" Dreadwing asked the others. All of them glanced to each other, with the same wicked thought in mind. They all then turned back to him and shook their heads.
"Fine, who had the longest straw?" Dreadwing grumbled, sitting back down. The others got the idea and sat down. Except for Airachnid. She waited until Starscream had sat down, and got himself comfortable before sitting down in his lap. She purposefully began to fidget.
"Airachnid! Please stop fidgeting! You're…"
"Arousing you?" She asked innocently. This made the others laugh when Starscream's cheeks went blue.
"And I got the longest straw." She answered Dreadwing.
"Then… Breakdown, truth or dare?" Dreadwing asked.
"Uh… as fun as the last dare was, I think I'll choose truth." Breakdown told him. Dreadwing pondered for a few nanokliks before coming up with something.
"If you were into mechs, would you want to try and be romantic with the green Autobot?" Dreadwing knew he would find out either way. Breakdown pondered this.
"Well, if he wasn't like my rival or something… maybe." Breakdown's answer received no cheeps.
"Now for the question of is he into mechs." Starscream asked, even though it wasn't his turn.
"I don't have to…"
"A reluctance to answer will be taken as a 'yes'." Airachnid told him, again adjusting how she was sitting in Starscream's lap.
"No, but admittedly the doc is a good kisser." No cheeping followed this answer either.
"Can't say I disagree with you on that one." Airachnid told the group. Starscream grumbled.
"Right then, is it time for Airachnid to choose?" Knock Out asked. The twins thought it looked a little like he was preening; must have liked the compliments, they thought.
"Oh, alright…" Airachnid sounded disappointed, but she wasn't that bothered. Starscream must have had better control than she thought he did. I'll have to ask him how he did it later. She thought before crawling out of her partner's lap. Starscream wasted no time in putting his crotch plating back on.
"Airachnid, truth or dare?" Breakdown asked.
"I'll choose dare this time." She told him. The look he gave her made her think this was a bad idea.
"I dare you to kiss every mech sat in here…" Starscream seemed to like the sound of this, Airachnid turned towards him with a smirk.
"Except Starscream." Breakdown almost laughed at the looks on both of their faces.
"You mean I just had to sit and endure Airachnid sat in my lap for about two breems and I don't even get anything for it?" Starscream growled.
"You could have taken a forfeit." Knock Out told him, unsure what he would have chosen for a forfeit at this exact moment.
"Which of you four handsome mechs is first then?" Airachnid asked. Starscream looked at her incredulously. None of them answered her.
"Right then. I know what I'd like first…" She paused on purpose. The four mechs in question pondered at the use of what and not who.
"A twin kiss." She told them, as though that cleared things up. Knock Out smirked; knowing exactly what she was after. I see I'm not the only one who has been looking at fleshy media… He thought.
"What is that?" Skyquake asked.
"It means you and your twin come over here." She told him. Dreadwing and Skyquake did so, deciding that this meant she wanted them two to go first.
"Which of us two is first?" Skyquake asked.
"Both."
"Airachnid, unless there is something you are not telling us, you can't have both." Dreadwing told her. She smirked, realising the twins had no idea what she was talking about.
"One of you kisses me on one cheek, the other on the other." Both of the twins blushed; did femmes really want that sort of thing? They glanced at each other, before shrugging and deciding to oblige her strange request. Airachnid saw one twin move to each side of her, making her think something was going to happen. When nothing did for a few nanokliks, she asked.
"Aren't you two going to…!" Just as she was going to ask if they actually were going to kiss her, both of them did, leaving her mouth hanging open in shock. The twins only kept their mouths pressed against her cheeks for a couple of nanokliks, but she thought it was longer.
"Did you like that?" Skyquake asked her, smirking at her closing her mouth.
"I didn't think you two could be mischievous like that." She told him.
"As… interesting as that was, it doesn't count." Breakdown told her. I knew that. Airachnid thought before turning to Skyquake.
"Shutter your optics." She told him. Skyquake nodded, before doing so. Airachnid paused for few nanokliks; waiting for him to make the same mistake she did. Skyquake had just started to ask the question, when she pushed her mouth against his, darting her tongue inside. Skyquake stiffened in shock, before relaxing and reciprocating; sliding his tongue out to meet hers. After a few nanokliks, Airachnid pulled back. Skyquake opened his optics and glared at her.
"You are not the only one that can be mischievous, you know." She smirked.
"That was payback, wasn't it?" He asked knowingly. Airachnid nodded before moving over to where his twin was.
"You know, when I kiss you; I'll have kissed every member of the Dare Club." She remarked. Dreadwing thought back, and realised she was right. He slid his arms around her, in what he hoped was an inviting manner. He must be one of those that like to hold their partner… She thought, before pushing her mouth against his. Both of them slid their tongues out to battle for dominance, making sure to stroke whatever they came across. Both of them pulled back at the same time, but Dreadwing didn't let Airachnid go.
"Why is it all of you are amazing kissers?" She asked the whole group. She clearly didn't mind the thought of what she was doing. Starscream on the other hand… He'd turned his back on the group, and had his arms folded. Airachnid then struggled a little, making Dreadwing realise he still had a hold of her. He let her go and sheepishly scratched at the back of his head.
"Maybe because… you hold a secret desire for all of us." Knock Out suggested, hopefully.
"I doubt it… but I do envy whoever you all end up with." Airachnid shrugged, before deciding that since Knock Out spoke; he could be next. She went over and stood beside him.
"How are we doing this?" He asked her, quietly so as not be heard.
"How do you want to do this?" She whispered, with a smirk.
"I'd like it if you stroked, not tickled, my sides." He whispered back. She thought for a moment, before leaning in and pressing her lips against his. She did as he asked, running her hands up his sides. She felt his hands stroking her sides as well as his tongue stroking the insides of her mouth. Both of them pulled back at the same time, Knock Out taking a couple of steps backwards; he didn't trust her not to tickle him now. And now we have the dare maker… She thought, walking over to Breakdown.
"You know, I wanted to ask you to do this last time." But you chose truth. He added mentally. She looked up at him and smirked.
"You just really wanted to kiss me again, didn't you?" She said quietly.
"Might have had something to do with it…" Breakdown trailed off, before leaning towards her. She smirked before pushing her mouth against his. Both of them were sliding their tongues around the insides of the other's mouth, as though trying to map the area. A few nanokliks passed, before both of them pulled away. Airachnid then whispered a question to Breakdown.
"Can I give Starscream a kiss now?" Breakdown pondered it for a few nanokliks.
"Don't tell him you did your dare." Was the answer she received. She decided this meant 'yes' and so went over to Starscream. She lightly tapped him on the shoulder, making him jump. He turned to look and unfolded his arms.
"I'm not talking to you." He sounded grumpy; possibly because he knew she wasn't going to kiss him.
"You don't need to, just shutter your optics…" She suggested. Starscream didn't know what she was up to, but did as suggested. She then pushed her mouth against his; making him jump. She made sure to run her hands across his wings and hoped that he'd think to touch her too, she liked her extra limbs stroked. He didn't know she'd done her dare, but he decided if she hadn't; he didn't mind. He made sure to stroke his hands across where her extra limbs connected to her back. She pulled back first, to a little noise of disappointment from him.
"Did you like that?" She quietly asked him. He nodded, but then remembered something.
"Breakdown said you weren't to do that…"
"Breakdown was the one who said I could; since I'd finished my dare." Airachnid nearly laughed at the look on Starscream's face. She got a little shock when he leaned forward and kissed her, again sliding his hands across the area where her extra limbs joined to her back. She rubbed his wings while their tongues did their dance. This time they both pulled back together.
"Why'd you…" She started to say.
"I was going to do that when I was told you'd done your dare." Starscream told her, smirking.
"Get a room you two!" Knock Out shouted at them, making both of them blush.
"Doc, I'm pretty sure they've got one." Breakdown sounded confused.
"Well, it isn't here." Knock Out sounded a little annoyed.
"Are we doing another group dare?" Skyquake asked.
"Not as such…" Knock Out began.
AN: I just leave that there… You'll find out what Knock Out was going on about next chapter… And no, Knock Out does not have a crush on Optimus! What it is might be explained later. I don't know what made me decide that Skyquake was going to like both mechs and femmes but… I did mention Thunderblast, again. Did Dreadwing scream like a little girl? Yes. How many of you thought it was funny when Bulkhead did so? Need I say more?
