Chapter Forty-Four – Everything's Magic

Outside the Adonis III

Nightfall

Bumblebee settled himself down in the small rock cave, letting Arcee slip into his lap, throwing her arms around his neck. He didn't hesitate, leaning up and planting his mouth against hers in a passionate kiss, holding it there to let their sparks flutter. He moved his chestplate against hers, sparks flirting, his thrumming strongly against hers, and she moaned, feeling its every beat of his inside her chamber. The mech chuckled and pulled away, optics flaring a penetrating electric blue in the shadows of the night.

Without a word, he slid his hands up her front, fingers fiddling with a tiny switch on her breastplate. She watched his fingers flick upward, opening her chest compartment. She leaned forward and did the same to him, then let him draw his strong arms around her frame until their sparks barely had any distance, each blue aura skimming the others.

Bumblebee shivered, gently bucking away. "…A-Arcee, I've never spark bonded before," he admitted. "I-I've only transferred energy to the sparklings. I've never done this with…a grown femme before."

She giggled, leaning closer. "Don't worry about it, Bumblebee," she murmured. "You'll do fine. We're only establishing a bond."

He nodded, slowly lifting his spark to hers. "A-Alright…"

They merged in a flash of light, pulsing quicker and quicker until they couldn't breathe right anymore. Bumblebee let out a groan, pressing Arcee against him, even though he knew that would make the sensation even worse, more intense. Arcee laughed weakly in a moan, hands clawing into Bumblebee's shoulders. Her head tucked in the crook of his neck and he let his systems rev loudly, giving enough of a surge to push them ahead.

Enter level two.

Arcee watched Bumblebee's blue heart beat furiously into her own, and he could feel every beat of hers right in the middle of his own, two rapid sparks as one, beating in almost an exact sync. His vents rushed cool air against her and she shivered, feeling each breath he released come harder and faster. He held her tighter.

"Y-You're alright," he assured. "W-We've got this."

Arcee groaned.

He could feel her spark even more. More and more and more…

The bond was establishing.

The bond was coming back.

And watch as your heart speeds up endlessly.
And look for the stars as the sun goes down…

Arcee threw her head back and cried out in the overwhelming phenomenon, frame quaking against the mech's. Bumblebee managed to let out another groan, hoping his spark could make it through the spectacle. The feeling was unbelievable. Supernatural almost, captivating, like his processor was floating in some space above, between the Earth and the Heavens.

Pure magic.

Each breath that you take has a thunderous sound.
Everything, everything's magic.

Bumblebee shook his head as Arcee began to whimper, the pulsations driving her frame in a fit of shivers. He held her secure in his arms, shutting his optics tight as he forced his spark to thrum harder, faster, to override the other bond that impeded him to progress.

"Y-You're alright, Arcee," he breathed. "We can do this…"

She nodded, clawing her fingers into his shoulders. She gasped as his spark beat even quicker, a brilliant flash of light growing in every second.

"B-Bumblebee..."

"Hold on, Arcee."

Just sit back and hold on, but hold on tight.
Prepare for the best and the fastest ride…

Bumblebee grasped her hand, taking it, concealing her tinier one in his. Hers shook quickly and he stopped it once he gripped it quicker. Her free hand slipped between plates of his armor, tugging at hypersensitive wires that made up his protoform body. Bumblebee's frame shuddered and he threw his head back in a pleasurous laugh, feeling wonderful twitches snake up his circuitry, twisting its way to his spark chamber and thus making his heart beat quicker.

He groaned. "Arcee…"

And reach out your hand, and I'll make you mine.
Everything, everything's magic.

Seconds dragged by, each one filled with loud hums and groans. At last, the chest compartments closed automatically as the flash of light consumed them both, then died down to a mere glow, visible between spaces between their chest armor.

Mmm, mmm, mmm…the humming was quick for both of them, loud. Bumblebee let out a final groan under a vented breath, his entire frame exhausted. Arcee collapsed against him.

"Bumblebee," she breathed his name.

Their optics lids rose. Blue stared into blue. Hers glimmered with tears. He stroked her cheekplates.

"Arcee…" he returned her breathy call.

She threw her arms around his neck limply. She shut her optics, crying. "W-We did it, baby. Th-The bond's established." She leaned back, faceplate close to his. "Bumblebee, I can return to you now. Hot Rod has to let me leave."

"How in Primus' name is he going to do that?" Bumblebee whispered. "He won't be doing that easily."

"He has to. My spark can't turn back to him. Our bond is too solid, non-interfereable. Being stronger has nothing to do with anything anymore. The bond is set for good." She smiled. "Bumblebee, don't you get it? I'm yours, baby."

He stared, tears welling.

"Y-You're mine…"

"Yours, Bumblebee." She hugged him again.

He shook his head. "How is it that I could override his bond, but he can't do the same to mine?"

She patted his chest. "This connection is far stronger. We not only have this one established, but we've got the Primus given sparkmate bond, pulsations from our sparklings, from your little human friend…" she shook her head, grinning. "From every member of the squad here. Every spark supports us. Hot Rod and I didn't have that foundation."

Bumblebee smiled widely, shaking his head in disbelief. "…W-We have done it."

She nodded quickly and buried her head into his chest. "We have. We'll be together forever."

"Forever," he repeated. "…Together."

He held her against him, letting the calmed beats of his spark relax her, sending tears of joy spilling from her optics. He shut his, and swayed her to and fro in gentle motions as smooth as they could ever be, kissing her head.

"I'll love you until the end of it all," he murmured. "I love you more than anything."

"A-And I love you too, Bumblebee," she answered, voice quivering. "Don't ever leave me, baby. I don't want to lose you ever again."

His spark fluttered. He remembered Darren, murmuring those same words of hope.

What a coincidence…

"I love you…s-so much, Bee. I don't ever want to lose you..."

"You won't, Darren. I promise you, I'll be here for as long as you need me…"

Bumblebee nodded, stroking his love's back.

"Arcee, you won't lose me. I promise you," he smiled, opening tear-glazed optics. "I'll be here for as long as you need me."

She smiled back at him. "And I, you."

"Even if you lose me," his voice was quiet beside the boy's ear. "I'll always be right here..." He tapped Darren's chest.

"In my heart," Darren finished for him. Chuckling, he tapped Bumblebee's mighty chest with both of his small palms. "A-And, I'll always be right here..."

"In my spark."

How similar the situations, and how different the beings were. Bumblebee found himself whispering the same things to Arcee as he had told Darren.

His spark swelled with overflowing love.

Bumblebee purred, nuzzling his foreplate against hers. "And, baby, you know…" His hand sat over her spark. "…Even if you lose me, I'll always be right here."

She smiled. "In my spark," Arcee giggled. "And, Bumblebee, you know I'll always be right there." She gave his yellow chestplate a few rubs.

Bumblebee grinned and leaned forward, kissing Arcee passionately on her mouth. Their optics fell shut, and he smiled inwardly, pulling back only slightly to whisper into her receptor.

"You'll be in my spark," he murmured. "Always."

…I'll make you mine.
Everything, everything's magic…

I really loved writing this chapter. Everything fell into place just as I wanted. :) See the connection? x3

Dunno if this is the last chapter or not, but y'know, expect another. Something's telling me to keep writing. x3
