Trapped Together
Chapter 4
"You got to be kidding!" The medic cried. He stood with the injured Prime, looking again at the blow off arm belonging to Starscream. They ran to get away from Skyquake but ended up back where they started "We went in a circle!"
Optimus listened for any sign of their attacker. "Hmm…but I don't hear Skyquake. We are safe"
"I wouldn't bet on it. We are not safe Prime! Not as long as that thing is around".
They travelled on forward again. Knockout needed some place where they could lay low and not worry about Skyquake finding them. He needed place to fix Optimus. They travelled but there was no safe place or where to hide. It was a risk but he had to do a quick patch out in the open. Knockout laid Optimus down. The Prime sat with his back against the rocky wall. Groaning a little from the pain.
Knockout examined the wound. It was deep and some sensitive wires were cut but nothing he can't fix. "Hang on Optimus".
The Autobot leader looked at the medic, watching as he repaired him. He could see the worry in his red optics. The fear as well. Was he really truly scared for him. "Knockout... are you doing this?"
"I'm doing my job! I'm a medic Prime. Now quite while I fix you!".
"Knockout...you didn't answer me. Why are you repairing me? Why are did you help me?"
"Dammit do I have to spell it out for you! He shouted as he began sealing the damaged wires. Optimus didn't know what he meant by that. He just look at him wondering.
Knockout growled a little. "So much for Primes being wise". He muttered. Dammit he loved Optimus but he didn't see it. To Optimus he was a Decepticon and if you're a Decepticon you don't feel or care. What a load of crap!
"Knockout...". Optimus spoke softly as he laid his hand on his arm. " I'm sorry I...
"Forget it! If you can't see what is wrong with me. Then you're are a fool". Knockout finished his repairs but then got up and moved away from Optimus.
The Prime got up from the ground. Rubbing his neck gentle as he stood up. He looked at the Decepticon medic who had his back to him. He could tell he upset him. He didn't mean to, then he realised he was actually caring about Knockout feelings, only a few moments ago he attacked him and told him to keep away from him. But the red medic saved his life. Risked his life for him when others Decepticons would have let him die or killed him.
Optimus knew Knockout well was attracted to him. Knockout made that clear since they been trapped together, to his annoyance. But that was all he thought it was. It couldn't be what he was thinking. Did Knockout really...
"Come we better get moving Prime.". He was torn from his thoughts by the medic's voice. It was cold and angry now and knockout didn't bother to look at him as he spoke.
"You love me?". Optimus said.
The medic stopped in his tracks. He didn't face him. "So you figured it out".
Optimus optics widen alittle. "You really do, I...didn't think it was true".
Knockout faced him this time. His angry rising hearing what he said. "What! you think just because I am a Decepticon I can't have any emotions, that I can't love! You go on Optimus about wanting peace wanting to give Decepticons a chance to change. Well how can you say that and think that we don't have emotions!".
Optimus didn't have a response for that. He didn't know what he should say really. The medic signed. "Do you know what Megatron would do to me if he learned that I let you live that I didn't kill you when I had the chance or that I fragging love you but...but I would risk it for you! But no you can't see that I love. Dammit why did I even bother!". He turned away now again and felt tears coming. Shit he hated crying but he was just so frustrated over this but crying made him feel silly and stupid and...
Suddenly he was turned around and a pair of lips he always wanted to feel was pressing against his. His optics widened in shock staring at the face of Optimus Prime. For the first time he was too shocked to even kiss back. He felt Optimus tongue slip into his mouth. Knockout gasped as he could taste him. Was this really happening! Was he really seeing this. He shuddered when he felt a hand around his waist and pulling him in closer.
He wanted to ask what the frag just happened! But that kiss, that taste. He wanted to kiss back but he was too shocked, like it was his first time kissing someone and didn't know how to do it. Optimus kiss deepened and slowly Knockout began to move his lips against his. He could hear Optimus moan as he began to kiss him. A moan! From the Prime! It was music to him. Knockout wrapped his arms around him. He offline his optics and focused on the taste he was getting from those lips. But then the taste ended. Panic came and he quickly online his optics again. He was panting as he looked at the Prime who was smiling alittle at him.
"That was for saving my life". He said as he held Knockout close to him. "Look Knockout you can't expect me to automatically trust you since we have fought before in battle but...maybe I don't know we spend time together after all this. Guess I do owe you one for helping me.
"Are...are! you asking me out on a date!". Knockout cried out. He could barely keep up what was going on. The Prime kissing him, the Prime holding him and now asking him on a date! His spark was racing his processor was struggling to take in the information.
Optimus couldn't help but laugh he had no idea he had this kind of effect on him. "Maybe but we still have to get out of here there must be some way to contact the others and leave a message". He put knockout down who was still in shock. He touched his lips still feeling the kiss on them. Like Optimus left a mark on him a beautiful one.
Thinking of how to get a message to Ratchet, Optimus suddenly thought something. "Knockout give me your comm, I can combine ours and hopefully I might be able to make a signal for Ratchet to locate us.
Knockout was brought back into reality when the Prime said that. "You really think that will work, sweet rims". He smiled.
Optimus found himself smiling back. "Yes our comm's together might be strong enough to let them locate us".
"Alright". He took out his comm link and handed it to the Prime. Optimus took it and their hands touched. Optimus smiled again and then he began to work on combining them the comm's together.
Knockout walked around and kept a look out for Skyquake. He looked back at Optimus a few times. He still felt his kiss. Optimus asked him on a date. It was finally happening and damn he was still shocked this even happened. The one thing he wanted and now he has a chance to be with him.
He heard a noise from the distant footsteps (Dammit he is back!). "Prime we got to go!"
Optimus turned to face him. "I'm nearly done".
"Skyquake is coming we got to run!".
Optimus connected the comm's and then he began to send a signal one that Ratchet would know. They used it in the war when enemies were nearby and they couldn't talk. so they would send a signal to each other it held messages only they could understand. He only hoped it worked.
Autobot base
Arcee stepped outside the base when Jack told her where Miko was. She saw her sitting near Cliffjumper grave. She sat holding her legs close to her. Arcee felt guilt now begin to hit her. She decided to walk over to her. As she approached Miko turned and quickly stopped up. "You come to yell at me again". She said as he dried her eyes.
Arcee knelt down before her. "I'm sorry Miko I...".
"I know Arcee you don't to lose Optimus like you lost Cliffjumper but guess your right about me. I am useless really, all I do is get into trouble or get you all into trouble". She looks away.
Arcee looked down for a moment but then reached out and picked her up. "I'm sorry Miko I shouldn't have said those things but your very brave for a human. You, Raf and Jack you are all brave. You are young yes but you still want to risk your life to protect the people you love and..and the robot you care about right?".
Miko smiled alittle. "Someone has to take care of Bulk".
"We friends again". Arcee said
Miko looked up at her and then slowly nodded. "Yeah were friends". Suddenly Ratchet voice burst over the comm. "Arcee get down her now! Its Optimus!".
They didn't need to be told twice and they hurried down. When they arrived Ratchet was looking at the screen and checking a signal that seemed to be repeating again and gain.
"Is it really the boss Ratchet". Bulkhead said.
"Without a doubt, me and Optimus used this code to contact each other behind enemy lines. It's a message. He says 'trapped in another dimension'.
"Is there any way to locate Optimus with the signal he is using". Arcee said.
Ratchet looked over at Arcee and then at the screen gain. "let's find out".
Onboard the Nemesis
Starscream lay in the medical bay. He was fragging pissed! That Knockout has disappeared and left him like this. He wondered where he was but when he finds him he will make him regret leaving him like this.
He was torn from his thoughts when his dark energon shard started glowing purple again. He sat up alittle and looked as the shard glowed. "Dark energon shard...pulsing?". He then knew what that meant. "My warrior lives". Skyquake walks once more. He hurried to get out and go back to that place. To find his warrior.
Back at the Autobot base
Ratchet worked on the calculations locate their friend signal. "Now calculating relevant time delays and Iconic distortions. The signal emanated from the exact location as the original ground bridge coordinates!".
"But we already looked for him there!" Bulkhead shouted.
"Perhaps...but not in the correct denominational faze and his message stated...but if I can create the feedback lope that triggered the event. I might be able to generate a rescue portal allowing passage from their denomination..."
"Back to base!". Bulkhead said believing that was the doc's plan.
Ratchet quickly faced him. "No! We are talking about interdenominational travel here! Bulkhead! Attempting to redirect the vortex would be far too risky!
Ratchet then faced the screen again. "If the coordinates aren't precisely the same who knows where! Optimus will be transported to".
"Also Knockout don't forget that! Miko said.
Ratchet knew Optimus could take care of himself but Knockout was a problem. He was worried what that red medic was doing right now.
Back with Optimus and Knockout
knockout kicked Skyquake hard in the face as he jumped forward to attack him. The undead bot staggered back and then Optimus made his move. He brought out his blades and sliced into Skyquake armour and tore it open as he but it.
The undead bot screamed and held his chest. Knockout smiled "Ha! We make a pretty good team Prime".
"SKYQUAKE! Your master summons you!"
Knockout knew that voice he turned quickly and saw Starscream heading there way!" Ahh Prime we got company".
Optimus turned Starscream was looking right at them but he knew he could not see them. Suddenly a ground bridge opened up right in the path of Starscream.
"Your Autobot friends I take it". Knockout said. Skyquake made a grab for him but Optimus got there first shooting at him and then grabbing his arm. He spun him around and threw him against the nearby rocky wall.
"We must go through now Knockout!"
"But Starscream is right there Prime if he sees you and me coming out..."
"I'll take care of Starscream get behind me!". He nodded and before Skyquake could get to them again they charged in. Optimus got through first and punched the surprised seeker in the face hard enough to send him crashing back and be knocked out from the impact.
The portal closed behind them and Skyquake was no longer a threat to them
"hmm I am glad to be out of that mess". Knockout said as he dust himself off.
"Yes but Starscream will remembering only seeing me. Now how will you explain where you have been".
"I'll say you did that to me too. We fraught but you bested me and knocked me out".
"You really think that will work".
"Well you will have to hit me first Prime, if I go back looking pretty as always and not like I have been in a fight well they are going to question my answer so hit me good and hard ok no holding back! You know it's the only way".
Optimus instead held his hand. "Come with me instead I offer you a chance to be with us the Autobots and me".
Knockout just laughed alittle and smiled up at him. "Thanks you big softy but I'm a bad boy through and through, I couldn't be good if I tried maybe that's why you like me so much". He moved closer to him. "Do you like bad boys Prime?" Smiled as he touched the beautiful Prime's hips.
Optimus blushed alittle but then picked up Knockout surprising him once more and he kissed him hard. Knockout gasped when lips once again were on his. This time he kissed back quicker and held onto Optimus tightly. Part of him didn't want to let him go. They kissed for what seemed like hours before Prime pulled back. "Until we meet again".
"Until we meet again Prime". He smiled and then Optimus had to do the hard task. He punched knockout hard in the face and knocked him out in seconds. He held onto him as he laid him down gentle on the ground. "I'm sorry". He whispered and kissed him where he hit him even if it was bleeding. He knew it wouldn't take long for them to wake up or for the Decepticons to locate them.
Optimus looked at Knockout once more before heading out and contacting Ratchet to bridge him home.
Epilogue
Optimus travelled along the road, darkness now consumed the sky as he made his way to towards a hill. It has been a 3 weeks since that incident with Knockout. He knows this may be wrong and the others wouldn't understand but he needed it, needed him.
He travelled up the hill once transformed. He smiled at who was waiting for him. The red eyed beauty. Knockout lay on the ground his back against a rock. His legs spread out and he grinned at the Prime who was blushing as he approached. "Want to play with me sweet rims".
Optimus smiled moving down to him. His lips met his again as he pulled Knockout forward so he was sitting on his lap with his legs around him. "Hmmm you know you were right about one thing Knockout".
"And what was that Sweet rims?".
"I do like bad boys". They kissed once more before they shared a night of passion together. They didn't know what was going to happen in the future for them and right now they didn't care. They loved each other and damn if anyone was going to stop them.
There is a saying 'True love allows each person to follow his or her own path, aware that doing so can never drive them apart'. No matter if Knockout is A Decepticon and that Optimus is a Prime they will still love one another and nothing will tear them apart.
End of story.
