Chapter 1: Ratchet x Rose's Valentine

-------------

She held the paper in her hand tightly as she sat waiting at the table provided for her outside overlooking the ocean. It contained directions from Ratchet about where to meet him for the evening.

It was her first Valentine's with Ratchet and she was rather anxious about it. Rose had no idea what kind of plans a giant mech could make for a human female, but it would be interesting to find out. And the paper in her hand made her wonder even more about what he could plan outside.

Earlier that day, it was hand delivered by her guardian surprisingly. Although Blurr was rather quick about it, walking up to her and dropping it down to her so he could take off. She figured he was in a rush or something. The gothic woman made a mental note to see what was up with him at that time.

After Blurr left, she opened the small paper revealing the directions. Upon reading them, she realized the location of their meeting was the Lookout where the group always went for relaxation and composure. But this time, she was alone sitting at a table setup with candlelight and a full moon overhead with a dazzling view of the dark ocean.

The woman checked her watch. It was a little after eight, past the time Ratchet stated in the note he would be there. Sighing heavily, Rose rested her chin on her hand, eyes glancing over the ocean. It was so calm and peaceful. A decent place to woo a female. She laughed a little while listening to hear the sound of heavy footsteps coming near.

"Is there something funny, my love?" Ratchet's voice took away the stone silence.

Looking up, she smiled. "You're lucky I love you, love."

Ratchet stood in his bipedal mode, metal hands on his hips. "Why am I so lucky?"

"Because you are over ten minutes late." She scolded him. Standing she then asked, "Why are you late anyways?"

"I got caught up in some maintenance on Blurr." He shrugged.

Rose gasped. "Oh, dear! Is he okay?" She filled with slight concern over her guardian. When she had seen him, he was fine. Rushing, but fine.

"Blurr got injured during his training with Ironhide and Wheeljack just this afternoon."

"So, that's why he was in a hurry, love? Because he had training with them?" The medic nodded and she smiled. At least that mystery is solved.

Ratchet took a quick moment to transform into his alt mode, the yellow rave hummer. A few seconds later, he emerged from the driver side, the holoform stepping out in a black suit and shoes, a white long-sleeve button-up shirt and black bow tie.

Rose's eyes widened in astonishment. He was the most handsome she had ever seen him wearing formal wear. She reached up to wipe away a tiny bit of drool located at the corner of her mouth.

"W-Wow! You look amazing!" The redhead gazed deeply into his steel blue eyes.

He stepped forward, hands resting on her hips while smiling lovingly down at her. "And you always look gorgeous." His eyes drank in the sight of her strapless, crimson dress. He saw it flew gently along the breeze giving him an inviting view of her long, shapely legs. Red heels completed the ensemble bringing her hear his height.

She blushed faintly. "You're just saying that."

"If I was just saying that, then why am I with you?" He questioned.

"Because we're spark bonded." She replied.

"That, yes. But I say it because I love you and I mean it." Ratchet whispered as his lips made their way toward her own.

Her eyes felt heavy as he neared. His kiss was close. So very close...

The spark between them exploded as he kissed her so passionately. She loved feeling him against her, crushing together in desire. Her arms encircled his neck as her blood boiled, her body heating from excitement.

The kiss ended abruptly much to her disappointment.

"Bloody hell! Why'd you stop? I was enjoying that!" Her blue-grey eyes narrowed in false anger.

Ratchet chuckled and removed her arms from around his neck gently.

"Let's save our passion. We have the entire evening ahead of us." Kissing her hand, he moved away, treading to his alt mode.

"What are you doing, love?" She wondered.

"Sit at the table and you will know."

In joy, she walked back to the table in fast-paced steps, seating herself, back to the ocean.

He moved thoroughly in the back as he gathered a few containers, putting them in a small box to carry. Checking that everything was there, he moved swiftly, jumping down and heading back over to his spark mate.

Rose's eyes twinkled. "What do you have here, love?"

"An entire meal that I hope you will enjoy." Grabbing each container, he opened it revealing a variety of foods that looked like they came from a fancy restaurant.

"Oh, Ratch! It all smells so delicious!"

He smiled and motioned for her to enjoy. "Please, help yourself. I'm sure you will enjoy the taste."

Grabbing a fork he provided, she dove into the first container revealing crabmeat roll-ups. The taste amazed her. It was a simple, yet very appetizing dish. Next was the Chicken Cordon Bleu. Her eyes closed, relishing the taste of the chicken, swiss cheese and ham sauteed and breaded together. It got her hooked immediately. While eating, Ratchet poured her a simple glass of the finest wine he could get. She felt overjoyed at these things he was doing for her. It almost made her want to cry.

Time flew by and after a dessert of blueberry pie, she was full. It was the best thing she ever tasted. How he came up with all those delicious dishes, she'd never know. Patting her stomach lightly, she gripped his hand in hers.

"Love, that was delicious! I don't think anything could top what I just ate tonight!" A small burp escaped and she covered her mouth, giggling.

"Excuse me."

"You're excused." He shook his head. "I guess that's also a way to say you've enjoyed the meal." A laugh escaped.

"Yeah, I guess so." Her cheeks flushed.

"Well, now that you have finished your meal, I have another surprise for you."

Her eyes blinked. "There's more?"

"Indeed." Rising, the shaggy, brown-haired man made his way back to the hummer pulling something else out of the back.

How did he store all that? It was quite a mystery in itself how he was able to hold a full meal and more. Must be some hidden compartments I don't know about.

The medic returned shortly after. Her eyes rested on some flowers in one hand a black, velvet box in the other.

"Oh, Ratch!" She said. "You didn't have to do all this!"

He bent down on one knee, holding up the flowers and box for her to take.

"You deserve it. All of it, my English Rose, and more." The blue eyes he saw with shimmered in delight.

Taking the flowers, she noticed they were red roses. "This aroma! A sweet scent!" She sniffed the delicate flowers.

Ratchet took a hand and held it palm up. "But not as sweet as your scent. Yours is much more appealing than any earth flower." In the palm, he set the box down. "And now for this gift."

Eyes twinkling merrily, she asked, "What is it?"

"Open it and find out."

Long, manicured fingers proceeded to open the box. What she saw took her breath away.

Inside was the most beautiful ring she had ever laid eyes on. The jewel, so clear and well-rounded, was like nothing she had seen before. Round like a pearl, but it's not a pearl.

"R-Ratchet."

"Yes, my darling?"

"What? How?" It made her speechless for the moment.

"Zaru." Was his only reply.

"She got this?"

"Sort of. Mirage and her accompanied me to a jewelry location where I wanted to find you the perfect ring. And I did." He explained.

She was dumbfounded now. How did he pay for this though? "How did you buy this?"

"Zaru paid the monies for it as a gift."

That was so sweet of her to help Ratchet do this. I really need to find a way to help repay her. Rose smiled warmly. "It's the most gorgeous ring ever!" Then, she remembered the jewel. "But I've never seen this kind of jewel before. It's so clear and round. What is it?"

The chief medical officer rose off his knee, pulling up his chair to sit across from her. "That jewel is called a cryzantanite. It is the rarest kind of jewel found on Cybertron." He explained. "Just like you are my rare jewel."

Rose's eyes watered. "Oh, Ratch! I just love it! It's so beautiful!" Long arms gathered tightly around his neck. "Thank you so much!" The tears strolled down her cheeks.

His eyes closed loving how happy his spark mate was. When he thought of the first time he met her, his spark pulsed. Seeing those stormy eyes looking up at him after saving her for the first time, he knew right then she was his. Although he didn't accept it at first, he gradually accepted being with her.

Pulling away, they shared a long, sweet kiss, lips perched against one another.

The heat she felt earlier wanted to rise, but the coolness of his touch helped sooth it down. Never in her life had she wanted anybody as much as she wanted him. With him, her heart beat slower and faster at the same time. When he looked at her, she felt like they were the only beings in the world.

The feelings they held for one another was like a never-ending flame. It would continuously burn for as long as they loved one another.

The kiss ended slowly leaving Rose wanting more. But Ratchet had other plans.

Standing, he pulled her with him, moving away from the table. Her body pressed flush against his as they started swaying from side-to-side, music faintly playing from Ratchet's cab.

Wise men say only fools rush in

But I cant help falling in love with you

Shall I stay

Would it be a sin

If I cant help falling in love with you

Blue gazed lovingly into blue-grey before Rose rested her head on his shoulder with his arms locked around her waist. He fingered the silky-like dress wanting nothing more than to feel her skin instead. But he would have to make do for the time being as he was really enjoying her in his arms.

Like a river flows surely to the sea

Darling so it goes

Some things are meant to be

Take my hand, take my whole life too

For I cant help falling in love with you

As the music played on, she closed her eyes.

"Thank you, Ratchet."

He nuzzled the top of her head with his nose. "For what?"

"For this evening. I've never been as blessed as I am this very moment."

Ratchet's lips grazed her hair softly. "I love you." He whispered, words murmured.

"Mm. I love you." She responded sleepily.

"Happy Valentine's Day, my English Rose."

Lifting her head, her own lips kissed his chin. "Happy Valentine's Day, my dear Ratchet." And laid her head back down.

Like a river flows surely to the sea

Darling so it goes

Some things are meant to be

Take my hand, take my whole life too

For I cant help falling in love with you

For I cant help falling in love with you

They continued dancing the rest of the evening, a full moon illuminating their every move while the sound of the waves crashed against the rocky cliff.

FIN
