Barricade was getting dizzy.
He'd been watching Frenzy chase the new recruit around his legs for the past 40 seconds, chittering and squeaking and generally sounding…horny. Which not only disturbed the black and white Mustang, but brought to mind memories of having to pry the spastic little mech off the poor screaming femme multiple times this week. If he had to watch Frenzy hump the little Xbot one more time, he'd fritz.
On the next pass he swept a giant hand down and gently plucked up the little green and grey femme, then snatched Frenzy up by the head and left him to dangle in his other hand.
"YOU! Quit attempting overload with the new girl." He shook Frenzy for emphasis, earning him an innocent blue-eyed look that didn't fool him one bit. He then addressed Xbot. "And YOU, quit provoking him." The little femme merely blinked at him… then gave him the finger. Frenzy did the same.
Surprising him even more, the little femme spoke for the first time in Barricade's memory. "What? Ever heard of Foreplay? Geez!" Then she looked at Frenzy. "He totally killed my trip. We need more coffee."
"Yeahyeahyeah, coffee! COFFEE! Then lots and lots of OVERLOAD."
"God, you're a horny little bastard aren't ya?"
Too dumbfounded to protest, Barricade didn't make a move as the two little bots wriggled free from his grasp and jumped to the floor, chattering away and running off hand in hand to the mess hall. While they skipped across the floor, Barricade heard the little femme whisper "We've gotta find less public places to screw around… that's, like, five times this week he's spoiled it!"
"Eeeee! Yeah! What about Bonecrusher?"
The little Xbot stopped dead in her tracks. "Oh, Frenzy, that's evil!" She paused, then stroked a tiny hand down the seam that covered his spark… "I like it."
Frenzy's legs twitched and Barricade swore he heard the little bugger growl. "F-f-f-fuck the coffee, let's go."
Barricade made the smart decision and left the base for 'patrol' before Bonecrusher woke up. He didn't want to be there for that… unpleasantness.
