Greystorm said to Redline "May Prowl and I go to the crystal park?"

Prowl hoped they would say no, he didn't want to be so close to Jazz and not be able to visit him because of his future bonded. Redline answered "I do not see why not. Have a good time."

Prowl inwardly sighed following the exuberant red and grey sparkling towards the park. Greystorm was chatting away about something or the other but Prowl couldn't summon the attention to focus finding his thoughts drifting again. Greystorm suddenly exclaimed "Are you listening to me?"

Prowl shook his head "Sorry. I was spaced out for a moment."

Greystorm narrowed his optics thoughtfully but soon got distracted by the crystals, Prowl's doorwings drooped as the guilt started gnawing at him.

He was supposed to be attentive to his future mate, giving him the utmost care and attention. Not thinking about ditching him to play with a Polyhexian.

And there was another side to the guilt, guilt for thinking of Jazz as a lowly Polyhexian instead of the friendly cheerful sparkling he'd come to know and not be able to visit even though he was so close by because of his future mate.

Greystorm yawned "Let us go back. I do not see why you love this park so much."

Prowl dutifully agreed sending a fleeting glance at Jazz's hideaway sadly.

As expected he was not allowed to return to the crystal park again in the same day instead his Creator suggested he sit down and practice his reading and writing. Prowl understood the request as an order rather than a suggestion. When Redline left with Greystorm he stared out his room window longingly at the park wishing he could have seen Jazz that orn.

The next day as early as possible without raising his Creator's suspicions Prowl asked and was allowed to go to the park. He ran all the way there, he arrived just as a sad Jazz emerged from his hideaway. Not caring about outside behaviour Prowl leapt at the other tackling him in a hug which Jazz eagerly reciprocated. Jazz practically purred, Prowl like it when Jazz purred, "Missed ya Prowler."

Prowl mumbled back "Missed you more."

Until he realised what he just said and felt his faceplates heat up in embarrassment, Jazz however didn't seem to notice or didn't say anything. "C'mon Prowler I'm starvin'!"

Prowl laughed "When aren't you?"

Jazz laughed as well as they took off down the street.
