Bumblebee's Avatar lay still as he kept watch over the peaceful form next to him, after the flood had passed Sam's energy levels had fallen below the level Bee considered normal for his lover. Had they continued to fall Bee would have rushed Sam to Ratchet instantly but the levels stabilized not long after they had started to fall and were now in the process of slowly rebuilding them selves. Why Sam had never spoken about these feeling to Bumblebee before the young scout didn't know, but Bee could tell that for some reason some part of Sam had chosen to keep these things from him. The more Bee thought about the way Sam had acted the more he wondered if Sam was fully aware of those feeling before he expressed them. Surely Sam would have not been so happy if those thoughts had been in his mind even a little, but if they hadn't then where had all this come from and what part of Sam had buried those thoughts and feeling so deep that they burst out almost without his knowing. More importantly what had caused all this to surface now, the obvious answer was that Sam was in the instability point but obvious answers were never good friends to Bumblebee. Bee thought about what Sam had been through in the past few days, what he had seen and done, where he had gone, who he had interacted with. Even with his training and countless years of experience Bumblebee could not find anything that had affected Sam in such a way that it would stir up these emotions now, before this point the battles could have caused it or the death of someone Sam knew. But this seemed to almost come out of nowhere, one moment Sam was a total alpha in charge and dangerous to anyone other than Bee, then in an instant he was crying like a helpless child who had hurt it's self.
Bee could find no answer as to why this had happened and all that he knew right at that moment was that Sam was no longer crying as his Avatar lay deep in stasis looking like his normal self once more. The answers to Bee's questions could wait for the moment as he became lost in the peaceful look on Sam's face. More than an hour had passed and Sam was still far from the waking world, feeling that he needed to ask a bot with more experience Bee commed Ratchet for some answers to his questions. Bee tried and tried for several minutes but Ratchet either was unable or refusing to respond, quickly Bee tried to connect to Optimus hoping that nothing was really wrong. "optimus what's happening I cant contact ratchet?" asked Bee once he was connected "ratchet can't answer you right now bumblebee, he's in surgery and needs all his focus on the operation he performing" replied Optimus. Operation, that sounded bad, really bad as whatever Ratchet was doing needed his full attention and Ratchet could do the more difficult operations while giving lectures and accessing the net at the same time. "what's happened?" asked Bee a little fear in his voice, Optimus commed back and said "simmons arrived here a little while ago to over see the removal of the tick devices, at first everything looked fine as he removed two more units quickly, he even commented that ironhide's security teams were some of the best he'd worked with". Optimus paused for a moment then continued as his voice took on a heavy tone "we found that two units were place in the same building so simmons went to remove one while lieutenant gibbs who had been working with him took the other, simmons had just removed the first device when there was an explosion" once more Optimus paused. "simmons and those he was working with rushed to gibbs team only to find that two of them were dead and gibbs arm had been blown off, the device had been altered and booby-trapped to catch anyone who attempted to remove it, not even simmons suspected this could happen" said Optimus.
"will gibb's be ok?" asked Bumblebee worried as a human couldn't simply be repaired like an Autobot, "as I said ratchet is in surgery, he's attempting to repair as much damage as he can right now, then once gibb's has healed enough ratchet is going to attempt to create a replacement arm for him using cybertroinan technology" replied Optimus. "now why did you want to speak to ratchet bumblebee, has something happened with sam?" asked the old Prime, Bee had been so shocked by the news that he hadn't been thinking about why he had originally tried to contact Ratchet in the first place. "well I was going to ask about sam, you see he had some kind of emotional outburst that wasn't anything like the way he's been acting, optimus he was crying like a child in my lap" explained Bumblebee. It took a few minutes for Bee to fully explain what had happened with Sam and everything that had been said but at the end Optimus finally said "interesting, keep watch over him bumblebee until ratchet is able to check him over and before you ask I haven't seen anything like that happen before now either". Bee was starting to feel a little selfish as he wished that Ratchet was not the one performing the operation, he wanted the Medbot here so Sam could be checked over. But Bumblebee knew that Gibbs had the best chance of recovery under Ratchets care so all he said was "ok optimus, I'll keep watch over sam until ratchet can get here".
Bee closed the com link as he went back to watching the sleeping form next to him, Bumblebee placed a small kiss on Sam's brow before he rested his head next to that of his sleeping lover. He just lay there as the minutes ticked by, Sam less than an inch from him still deep in stasis remained unchanging and peaceful. How Bee wished that he could know what had caused that out burst, the way Sam had cried and held on to him, the way he had blamed him self for things that were out of his control. Bee didn't like it when Sam beat him self up like that, the way he talked about him self like he wasn't good enough made Bumblebee feel sad in a way that he had never felt before. Sam was perfect to him, he always had been and always would be there was no question about it. So why had Sam spoken about him self like that, Bee had told Sam before that he had and would always see him as perfect. "I love you so much sam, your all that matters to me in the whole universe so why do you see your self like that, why did you say all those things about your self?" Bumblebee asked the question to the form next to him even though Sam wasn't going to give him an answer in his current state. More time passed and Sam didn't stir even once from the deep stasis that gripped him, Bee checked his internal clock for the time and found that they had only fifteen minutes before the dinner they were expected to attend under Judy's orders. As Bee watched the minutes tick down he considered his options, his first choice was to call Sam's parents and tell them that they weren't coming because Sam was still in stasis but that would leave him explaining why Sam was in stasis and why Bee didn't want to wake him, the second was to wake Sam but Bee really didn't want to do that, the third was to tell them that they were waiting for Ratchet but that involved explaining why they were waiting for Ratchet in the first place.
Bee had just reached a decision as to what he would tell Ron and Judy when Sam stirred and started to move. Slowly Sam crawled his way back to the waking world guided be the warm touch of Bumblebee's Avatar. The first thing Sam saw was Bee smiling at him softly as Sam wrapped his arms tightly around Bee's Avatar. "you know that we have only a few minutes before dinner with your parents" said Bee as he gently stroked Sam's hair. Sam just made a "humm" in response as he buried his face into Bee's neck and started kissing. Though Bee was enjoying the feeling of Sam trailing kisses over his neck they really needed to get going before Ron came over to check up on them. "sam" Bee said "sam we need to get a move on or we'll have your dad walking in on us again" "let him find his own peep show, your all mine" replied Sam as he moved down past Bee's neck. There was no anger in Sam's voice, he hadn't grasped at Bee's Avatar as if ready to carry him into some dark corner far away from all others, he hadn't even slowed down in his actions. Bee hoped that this was a sign of Sam getting better and regaining some of his self control, at least over his anger issues. Sam expertly found a very sensitive spot and soon had Bee moaning like a ghost on Halloween as he applied the perfect amount of pressure to make Bumblebee loose all contact with his rational side. Some part of Bee clung on to the thought that he may still have to restrain Sam if someone walked in on them and that gave him just enough self control to gently stop Sam's actions.
Gasping for breath Bee held Sam back as he said "we really need to get going sam, I don't want to have to stop you from attacking your dad when he walks in looking for us". The wolf like look returned to Sam's face in full force as he pushed forwards saying "I won't attack him I'll be too busy with you to even notice that he's here". Sam pushed Bee down onto the bed and kissed him hard before he continued "for some reason getting all that out of me has made me realise that you won't let anyone take you away from me and that no matter what happens your always going to be my bumblebee". Sam placed a soft kiss on Bee's lips that felt like the contact of a small feather as it brushed over the skin, "I never knew that I was so afraid of loosing you, of not being good enough for you, but I'm not afraid now so I can give you all that I am and all that I have" said Sam in the husky voice that he knew affected Bee so deeply. Bee had by this point lost the battle with his instincts and was completely under the power of his feelings and the feelings coming from Sam. Sam moved lower and kissed the spot where the simulated heart in Bumblebee's Avatar was beating so hard that he could feel it even before his lips touched the skin. Sam reached up and placed a hand over his own heart and found that they were both beating in perfect harmony. It was at this point that a small message caught his attention, down in the corner of his vision three small words were glowing softly "final lock released". The moment Sam read everything else melted away as at last he realized that he was able to bond with Bumblebee fully.
Sam was still for a moment as everything sunk in, it was time and all that he had wanted so badly was now here. In an instant Sam scooped up Bumblebee's Avatar and rushed naked to their alt forms. Sam quickly transformed as his Avatar lowered Bumblebee's into a standing position, Sam's Avatar vanished in a cloud of lights as his main form place a hand over his spark chamber. Bee deactivated his Avatar and transformed as he asked "what's wrong sam, is it your spark, do you need ratchet?", Bee was panicking as he desperately wanted an answer from Sam. Sam lifted his hand form his spark chamber and place it on Bumblebee's face as he said "it's time, we can bond", Sam had barely spoken the words when plates started shifting around his spark chamber. Bee watched as a tunnel was formed and cables started to move towards him, reaching out asking to be received by his body. Bumblebee was in total shock at what was happening, there had been no warning, no big signal, or had there, had those dammed up emotions been the last barrier keeping them apart and now that they were gone Sam was finally free to bond. These thoughts started spinning in Bumblebee's mind as his own body started acting on the deep needs of his spark, like Sam plates were shifting forming the other end of the tunnel that would connect their sparks and cables were reaching out to Sam's body ready to connect them completely. Bee reached out and placed his hands on Sam's shoulders, he paused there for a moment that seemed like an eternity for both of them.
Then softly, gently, Bee moved to meet Sam's body, the metal tunnels touched each other as gently as Sam's and Bee's Avatar's touched each other. For a second nothing happened then plates from each bot shifted and clamped on to the opposite tunnel locking in place creating a protected area for their sparks to touch each other. The last cables locked into place and bot both looked each other in the optics as Bee asked "are you ready?", "you know the answer" replied Sam as the plates covering their spark chambers slid open allowing their sparks to move freely towards each other. For a moment Sam felt like he was dyeing, like his soul was leaving his body then he felt another coming towards him warm and familiar. All fear melted away as love washed over everything, then the world went black for a moment and Sam found him self floating in a sea of ever changing colors. He was in his Avatar form, or at least what looked like his Avatar form as he floated endlessly through this strange place. In the distance a shadow formed and started drifting towards him, instantly Sam knew that it was Bumblebee and that he too was in his Avatar form. As Bee came into focus Sam reached out to him, the moment their hands meet they seemed to merge and Sam started feeling all that Bumblebee was feeling. Bee was now feeling all of Sam's emotions along with his own and he knew that Sam was feeling the same as well in what was becoming an endless loop. The two came to rest as their bodies began to merge, everything about them was shared, thoughts, memories, hopes, fears, until a point was reached where everything went on for infinity. The only way it could be described was as if they were surrounded by mirrors that reflected both of them on forever, an endless ocean of their love magnified beyond words.
"come on you two, I gave you an hour extra but your mom isn't going to wait any..longer" Ron was left speechless by the sight that confronted him. Both Sam and Bee were in their robot forms with cables connecting them and tying them together, their optics were dim like they weren't even online but from the warmth of the metal Ron knew that as not the case. He reached into his pocket and dialed the number for Optimus saying "dam I was only joking about the whole tying up thing".
