It had been a long couple of weeks between school, dancing and decoding. Ruby was starting to feel the stress of it all and did not like it one bit but thankfully out of all those things dancing with Henry was the one thing that didn't cause a mental breakdown. The pair were getting ready for their first competition and were having trouble getting their routine so decided to practice with free style quick step numbers instead.
"You look like your gonna pass out on me," Henry said finishing up the routine.
"Its been a ruff week," she said but as soon as the boy started massaging the kinks out of her shoulders right there on the dance floor she added," but I think you just made my day, can I take you home? I'm sure your parents won't notice you gone they got three back ups."
Watching from the stands Andy sat there not looking impressed in the least, originally he went to surprise Ruby by picking her up from her practice when he happened to notice her pretty boy partner giving her a massaaaaage. His mood didn't improve when she said something to him that made him laugh.
'How can she let him touch her like that she doesn't even let Bee, Miles or more importantly ME for that matter touch her like that' he thought to himself angrily not realizing that he probably sounded like a stalker right about now. Finally the boy had enough of them messing around and angrily left not caring right now if she saw him or not.
Ruby and Henry turned to see Andy storm off out of the gym where they were practicing on the stage, both looking really confused.
"What the duck is up his ass?" Ruby asked oblivious to his obvious crush on her unlike everyone else.
"I think it might have something to do with me, I hate when this happens I loose so many good partners this way," he explained shaking his head. When Ruby looked confused he explained, "Guys are threatened by me when it comes to their girlfriends."
"Well he must be barking up the wrong tree were not going out," she said almost a little disappointed.
Henry was quick to catch the hint of sadness in her voice and smirked at her for it before turning back to her." Tell me what does it feel like when you're in the same room with him or beside him or even when he just happens to cross your mind?"
Ruby didn't even need to say a word cause the second she started blushing her dance partner already knew how she felt about the boy even before she even realized she had it, it was the same with the boy.
"You know its pretty common that if you give those feelings some time to grow they can become something pretty amazing," he said before he got up to leave but not before giving the confused girl's shoulder a squeeze.
Meanwhile...
"I hate him, I hate him, I hate him, I hate him, I hate him, I hate him, I hate him, I hate him, I hate him, I hate him, I hate him, I hate him, I hate him, I hate him, I hate him, I hate him, I hate him, I hate him, I hate him, I hate him," Andy said walking back and forth as the former decepticon did some lifting.
"Boy pace any further and I'll pace you into the floor," Starscream said trying to ignore the complaints of the annoying fleshling.
"You'd be pissed to if you saw them together making him laugh, rubbing her shoulders...give me a break," the boy continued but this time without the pacing.
"You're being ridiculous she isn't even your mate," the rogue argued continuing his chores.
"Oh ya I'd like to see you act all calm if you saw Hot Shot romancing Throttle and she ain't your mate either," the boy said slightly hitting a nerve in the bot making the boy smirk and added just to be a little shit," in fact their in the lounge right now getting pretty friendly for a couple of close friends if you ask me."
"Well nobody asked you human so leave now before I really do step on you this time," Starscream yelled at the boy making the human make a Hasty exit.
After he was alone the decepticon began to pace at the thought of the two comrades alone together, he always knew the autobot to be a femmenizer and he'd be damned if he watched him turn an excellent warrior into a fumbling femme because something better came along.
Without another thought Starscream ran up the stairs into the lounge to see Hot Shot with his arm resting behind Throttle's head as they watched the monitor meant for entertainment with the humans. In one swift motion the rogue pulled the autobot from his seat and shot him across the room before throwing Throttle over his shoulder and leaving the room leaving Sam and Mikayla speechless.
"What in the name of Cybertron do you think your doing?" the femme screamed.
"I need to train now shut up and enjoy the ride," was all Starscream said as they left the room leaving the humans alone.
The pair just stared at the doorway the two had left through before staring at each other shrugging and resuming their cuddling and tv watching.
Thinking quickly Starscream did carry her to the training room and dumping on the floor before taking a stance before her prepared for battle. Throttle just starred at him pissed beyond all else kicking the rogue's feet from under his body and pinning him down with her body.
"What's this about if you really wanted to train you could've easily punched Ratchet's lights out and dragged Optimus here now what do you want?" she said coolly no moving from her spot on top of the other bot.
"The boy said a bot was getting closer then required of close comrades and you required assistance," he explained only telling half truth watching the femme roll her electric blue optics not believing a word he just said.
"Did the boy also mention that Hot Shot is my cousin and happily acquainted with Acree?" she asked casually smirking as the bot started to slowly feel dumb making her giggle before she kissed him on the cheek and added," thanks for watching my back."
Elsewhere...
"Seriously boy you look like I committed the ultimate sin here will you please talk to me?" she said getting pissed off at being ignored.
"I can't believe you don't see anything wrong with what you did back there you were like two minutes away from going at it right there on stage," he said
"What are you talking about we were hanging out other girls do it and it seems innocent enough," she said seriously.
"You do realize that those girls are with their boyfriends right," he said as she just stared at him," ya know boyfriend and girlfriend stuff like Sam and Mikayla," he added seeing he really wasn't getting through to her.
"You really have no idea do you, I mean you've never hugged another guy but Sam," he said finally realizing himself just how much affection she had been neglected her whole life.
She looked so confused at what to say or react to what he said, how could anyone know how a relationship works when their whole life they were told it was a weakness to possess it. All she could do was hide her face and embarrassment.
For a few minutes neither did anything but stare at each other before Andy walked over and tilted her face till he could see her eye to eye and smiled as he kissed her and wrapped her into his arms not wanting to let her go ever again. All Ruby could due was stand there stunned until her lips started moving on their own kissing back wrapping her own arms around him as if she'd done it a million times over and crying in overwhelming happiness that she had never felt before and never wanted to stop.
Hiding in the shadows Bumble Bee wrapped his own arms around Dragon Fly remembering the first time he ever told her he wanted her for himself, they had been spying on the couples all day long each reminding them of stages in their lives together, denial, admitting, and undenying love.
"Can you remember being oblivious to being so happy with one person," Fly asked lying against Bee's chest.
"I've gladly forgotten that," he replied leading her away to give the children privacy.
"I guess this means you don't got the hots for your dance partner," Andy said when they pulled apart.
"Are you serious your worried about me running off with Henry," she said amused," he's got a better chance of running off with you then me if he didn't already have a boyfriend," she said walking away making the boy severely confused before catching on suddenly not finding Henry such a bad guy after all.
I thought I'd do a cute little mushy chapter this time review and tell me what you think
