Sari sat beside Bumblebee as he feed the small autobot. "You seem to know a lot about taking care of him, Bee." She commented. "Well, I only know the basics." He was feeding Blades oil through a straw, since he didn't have a bottle. "Like?" Sari asked. "Like Sparklings should be feed oil, Energon as a treat every once in a while." Sari nodded, mentally taking notes.
"The sound of a familiar bot's spark can help soothe a Sparkling. Um, what else... Oh, Sparklings can tell who's holding them by how they're handled and the rhythm of the spark. That's about it." Sari nodded and looked at Blades. The little mech had drank his fill and was fiddling with the straw curiously. "Can I hold him?" Sari asked. Bumblebee smiled and nodded, handing the infant to Sari, who cuddled him close. "He's pretty light, seeing how he's made out of metal."
Blades felt himself being placed in a new embrace. But, this one didn't feel cold and hostile, it was soft and light. But it was strange and foreign to the little bot, and Blades wasn't exactly very comfortable with strange things.
Sari felt Blades struggle in her hold and looked to her friend for help. "How do I get him to calm down?" "See right here?" He pointed at the space between Blades' horns. She nodded. "Yeah." "If you rub there he should calm down long enough for him to get used to you."
Sari laid her hand on the spot like Bumblebee told her and gently rubbed it. She was surprised by how soft the metal was there. Blades stopped his struggles, Sari's soothing strokes putting him in a comfortable lull. Now that he had calmed, he could hear a new, steady rhythm pulse.
He felt safe in this hold. But it wasn't the familiar safety he felt with Bumblebee, where he felt shielded from the dangers of the world. It held more of a, peaceful aura to it, as if nothing could disturb him. With a long sigh of contentment, he finally relaxed completely into Sari's hold.
Sari continued rubbing the soft metal, rocking Blades slightly. Suddenly, she stopped. "Um, Bee?" "Yeah?" "Is he supposed to do that?" The scout focused his gaze on the small bot. Blades' orange optics had dimmed, to the point where they were barely glowing and he was completely limp in Sari's arms.
Bumblebee smiled and nodded. "Yeah, he's just tired." As if to prove the statement, Blades yawned widely. "Ah." Sari nodded. She continued to rock the infant and softly rub circles on Blade's head. Blades hummed contently, a sleepy smile on his face. He made several small, tired chirps before slipping into recharge. "He's so cute!" Sari cooed, cuddling the sleeping infant, causing Blades to snuggle closer to her.

This is mainly Sari and Blades fluff. Bee's a little out of character, but I couldn't find a way to put his regular personality in here. Anyway, reviews are appreciated!
