Things Change
Note: Sorry I took so long. When I first wrote this chapter out, it was way too short so I had to go over it and make it longer. It's still kind of short but at least it's longer.
Chapter 14:
The Merge
"You sure you want to do this?"
"Yes."
On a hill somewhere in the woods, two bots sat next to each other. This was the place they will usually hang around on their date or when they wanted to be alone.
"Are you sure you're sure."
"Yes. I am."
"Okay."
Short silence.
"Are you sure you're sure you're sure?"
"Yes, Barricade. I'm sure."
The two bots move in closer to each other.
"Are you sure..."
"Barricade!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's just that bots don't usually do this unless they want to show how much they love each other."
Goldbug smile and rolled his optics; Barricade can get so silly at time. Its been 12 years since the Incident and Goldbug's body had made a full recovery with a few upgrades and a new vehicle mode. His mind, however, was still a work in progress. So far the yellow mech can only remember the ones he had been around for those last 12 years. His life before the Incident was all gone.
"Well, I trust you, don't I?"
"Yeah."
"And you trust me, right?"
"Of course, babe."
"Okay, and you just said bots usually do this to show how much they love each other, right?"
"Right."
"So, that's why I want to do this. To see how much you love me."
Barricade was silent for a while before he sign and gave up.
"Alright, you win."
Barricade wrap his arms around Goldbug so their bodies could be close, both of them can feel each other's breath.
"We'll go slow, okay?" Goldbug nodded in agreement. "Alright."
Barricade took a deep breath and sign. "Now, open your spark charmber."
Goldbug nod and did what he was told. There was a soft clink noise and Goldbug's spark charmber slowly opened, revealing his spark, a baby blue color like his optics. Barricade took a moment to stare at yellow mech's beautiful spark before opening his own spark charmber. His spark was a darker color compared to Goldbug's, but still shining brightly.
Once both sparks were expose, Barricade lean down to allow his spark to come in close enough to Goldbug's so their sparks were just barely touching. At the close contact, a very small yet noticeable spark merge happen between the two.
The merge wasn't sexually of any kind, it was way too small for something like that. But it was enough for both mech to feel what each other were feeling. Barricade smile as he could feel Goldbug's wonder and excitement over the small merge. His spark grew warmer when he felt the yellow mech's love towards him and reply by sending the same love back to him.
Goldbug optics widen with surprise and excitement. He was sure he had never spark merge with anyone before, and this was his first time doing it. He found the experience to be wonderful and full of pleasure, even if the merge was small.
For the last few weeks, he had wondered what it felt like. And when Barricade had told him about how it could help it can help determine their true feelings towards each others, he just had to try it for himself so he could see how much did Barricade really love him. And judging by the merge, it was a lot.
"See?" said Barricade. "I told you I love you a lot."
Goldbug look at him and smile warmly. "Yes, you did." He said, giving him a kiss. "But you know what?"
"What?"
"I love you more."
The second he said that, Barricade felt more love emotion from Goldbug and smile. The two kept the merge activate for about an hour, each sending out each others emotions like a debate on who loves each other the most. In the end, they both decide it was a tie and they ended the merge to continue on with their date, unknowing that the merge had somehow cause Goldbug to become spark until later on.
End Of Flashback
"You know," said Goldbug after thinking back to that time. "the same way any other bot can have sparklings."
Ratchet had a optic raise but didn't say anything. His attention was drawn to Prowl who was now awakening from stasis.
"What happen?" the ninja bot groan.
"You fell into stasis once you saw the sparklings." explain Optimus.
At the word 'sparklings', Prowl quickly turn his head around to observed that the three sparklings he saw earlier were real and not a fragment of his imagination.
"So, the sparklings are real." he mumbled to himself.
"Of course they are. Aren't they cute?" said a happy Acree. She turn to the bonded couple. "Tell me, what are their names?"
Like what happen earlier in the medbay, Goldbug and Barricade had grew tense and silence. Everyone in the room had notice, even the sparklings had become uneasy until they feel the comforting waves of their creators. After sharing a quick glance with each other, the couple reveal the names of thier sparklings, striking fear into the Autobots' spark.
"Their names are...Caddy, Daisy, and Honeybee."
Final Note: I'm going to put this story on hold until I finish writing Transformers of the Stars (TFS) and get a fix on the plot for this story. Rest assure. After I finish TFS, I will focus more on this fic and be posting up chapters again.
