Chapter two: Thanks For The Memories

Frostbite groaned quietly in pain when he woke, vaguely aware of a red and blue robot talking on the far side of the room, turned away from him. He tried to prop himself up only for his head to throb painfully. The voices only worsen the ache, loud as they were.

"Thank Primus Frostbite didn't offline. But that fall put him in bad shape." Frostbite heard the one with the orange face say. 'Well, that explains why I feel like I body slammed a semi-truck.' He thought, mind drifting to where he had said 'Frostbite'. Was that his name? His head felt as though it were filled with a thick, dense fog. He couldn't remember anything, although the two in the room seemed familiar.

"Yes." Said the smaller red robot, "I never intended for this to happen." Said the 'con, slamming his fist on the table. He then turned to his feisty little mech and walked over to the berth and gently held Frostbites small hand in his. Frostbite gave Knockouts hand a weak squeeze. Knockouts optics widen in surprise.

"Frostbite! You're awake!" He sighed in relief. Breakdown turned at Knockouts sudden outburst.

He struggled to speak through the haze and pain but managed to say "Where…Where am I?"

Knockout placed his free hand behind Frostbites back and helped him into a sitting position. "Be careful. That was a nasty fall you had." Frostbite nodded slowly as Knockout continued speaking, ignoring his question.

"You were in stasis for awhile. How do you feel Frostbite?" He said, worry crossing his face.

It took a moment before he replied. "Sore…but I think I'll be alright. Wh-who are you?" He asked in a small voice.

A look of confusion passed over Knockouts face before a small smirk formed on his lips. "Come now Frostbite, even if we've met only a few times, you couldn't possibly forget my beautiful face. You had me scared for a moment." Pride laced his voice. Breakdown chuckled.

Frostbite scowled, not liking that he thought it was a joke."You keep calling me Frostbite. Is that my name?" He watched as Knockouts gaped momentarily. Breakdown had a look of utter shock and disbelief on his face. He felt Knockouts grip on his hand tighten and he wrapped his arm around his shoulders, pulling the little former Autobot closer.

"Frostbite…do you remember anything? My name is Knockout, don't you remember?" Shaking his head, he hesitatingly reached for where his head ached most. Knockout removed his hand and inspected the previously deep gash he had closed. He looked into Frostbites optics and felt a pang of guilt for causing the small mech to lose his memory.

He was pulled into a tight embrace by the red 'con, his hands laying on the larger 'cons chest. He felt warmth radiating from the center. From the deep recess of his clouded mind he recalled a single word, stirred forth from the comfortable heat coming from the others chest.

Sparkmate.

Is that what he was to this mech? Why he was held so endearingly close to him? He decided to ask him.

"Knockout…" he started, hesitation in his voice. " Am…Am I your…sparkmate?" Knockout quickly withdrew from where his head lay on Frostbites shoulder, embarrassment so strong in his face that if one looked closely they could see steam rising from his cheeks in waves. Breakdown stared at him with startled optics.

"I-I…um…I don't…Well…." He stammered, thoroughly shocked Frostbite had asked such a question. Just yesterday he would have punched his fenders off for so much as looking at him inappropriately. Frostbite just continued to stare at him with confused optics.

Breakdown laughed at the Knockouts expression. He proceeded to explain what Knockout was to the small mech. "Nah', but Knockout here is intending to court you so that you will become his sparkmate someday. In fact, he came to the cliff you fell from to give you your first courtship gift." He said, chuckling all the while as Knockout glared daggers at the blue 'con.

"Really? May I see it?" He asked with hopeful silver on blue optics.

He proceeded to remove the small gift from his subspace, handing it over to Frostbite, who stared at the gem with an intense fascination. He held it up toward the light on the ceiling to better see the details. It was some kind of small blue crystal Frostbite noted. The bottom was encased in a smooth, shiny black metal, while crystal spiked out from the center. He thought it was sweet of Knockout to give him such beautiful gift. He gave the red 'con a hug around his waist to show his appreciation. The 'con froze in surprise, but quickly recovered and returned the gesture with a smile on his face.

"Thank you. But what it is it?" He said with a childlike curiosity. Knockout chuckled as he took back the crystal and placed it on Frostbite white chest plates. The metal twisted outward, becoming an intricate design on his chest while the crystal remained in the center.

A tired smile split Frostbites face when he looked down. As he reached to touch the gem, Knockout made a gesture for Breakdown to hand him an energon cube, since the little mech supply was low from losing so much from his injuries. He tapped the teen 'bot on his arm to show what he now held in his palm.

"What is that?" Knockout sighed as he began explaining what energon was.

"After you drink some we'll need to put you in stasis to repair what's left of your injuries." Frostbite nodded and sipped slowly as he leaned on the Decepticon, the energon tasting sweet and sending small surges of electricity through his mouth. He yawned as he drank, he handed the cube back to Knockout when the cube was half empty. Knockout proceeded to carefully place him back on the berth.

"Don't worry Frostbite. You'll feel good as new when you wake. Breakdown and I are experts at bodywork." He said whilst grinning at his apprentice. He held Frostbites slender face before reaching for a cable. When Knockout had placed his charge into stasis, he turned to Breakdown.

"Well" He said, finishing Frostbites leftover energon. "I certainly wasn't expecting that."
