A week or so had passed since Optimus had his first and most intense heat cycle, things felt a bit off. Optimus was moodier and hungrier than usual, and most of the mood swings seemed to be aimed at Jetfire. Scourge was secretly relieved that Jetfire seemed to get the brunt of the angry mood swings while Scourge got other mood swings which in turn brought out Scourge's super protective side. The only problem with that was sometimes Jetfire took the overprotectiveness from Scourge due to Optimus reacting to Jetfire. Truth be told, Scourge, Optimus, and Jetfire wanted to know what was going on as things didn't make sense.
Wanting to get Jetfire and Scourge to stop fighting about him, Optimus went to see the medic. Optimus hoped that this would give them the answers that they sought. Optimus meandered into the med bay, as he hated being in one. Red noticed right away. "What's up, Optimus?" Red asked, though he had a feeling he knew why Optimus was here. Optimus told of all that was going on and asked Red for help to figure out what was going on. Red scanned Optimus and found that the submissive prime was claimed, bonded, and sparked. "Well, you have completed your submissive bonding and you are sparked with twins" Red revealed. Optimus was stunned but pleased. And with that, Optimus left to tell his mates.
Red sighed after Optimus left. It was something else to be claimed and be sparked. Red longed for that, not recognizing that he was showing the signs of being a submissive bot. Just then, Vector Prime entered the med bay. "Are you here, Red?" Vector asked, something different in his voice.
Red's systems reacted to that instantly. "I'm here" Red answered in an unknowingly submissive way.
Vector smiled. "I think it's time we spent some time together" Vector said, leading Red out of the med bay.
"Am I the only one who gets this pleasure?" Red asked.
"With me, yes, as I am a one bot bot. However, there are a few others enjoying this type of pleasure. Mudflap and Landmine have claimed Hotshot are one such example" Vector relayed, hugging the medic tightly. Red alert wanted to say something in response, but Vector Prime planted a hot kiss on the submissive medic and dragged the bot away for some bedroom fun.
Meanwhile, back with Optimus, the bot had returned to Scourge and Jetfire having had a fight and Undermine and Brimstone holding the two apart. Optimus sighed. He thought that they made it past this. With the other two involved, this was just plain embarrassing. "Dare I ask?" Optimus asked.
"Fight about what is wrong with you" Undermine replied, knowing the Prime didn't like being lied to.
Optimus sighed and headed into the quarters without further word. That was rarely a good sign and only after that were Scourge and Jetfire freed and they followed their mate. "Something wrong, Optimus?" Jetfire asked.
"Besides you two bickering?" Optimus asked and they nodded. "Well…. I'm sparked with twins." Optimus watched their response. They came up, hugged him, and apologized. Since he needed the embrace and the reassurance, Optimus quickly forgave them and all three rebelled in the news that soon their family would grow.
