Sorry for the previous chapter, I wanted to do a two part for the very first time and managed it. The bunny kept bugging me to do it so..I have no choice. Damn thing, should've burn it when I had the chance. So, what should I do about Tracks?
Oh no..I see plot bunnies.. *squints eye* IT'S THEM! *gets buried alive by thousands of bunnies, oh look, there's a wish list*
To readers: Not mine, enjoy.
Tracks sat there in his room, smirking at the innocent sparkling in front of him. "Well well Sideswipe. Let's give you some embarassing pictures to use as blackmail. And who knows, maybe I'll edit it and put your picture as Sunstreaker's."
As he crept closer and scaring the crap outta the sparkling, Sunstreaker burst through his door in all his glory and practically growling at the Corvette to release his brother.
"Sunstreaker! I thought you won't be back in the next two hours!" Tracks gaped, completely taken by surprise on how it took just minutes for the older twin to return home.
"Got a little run-in with Skywarp on the way here. Next thing I know he transwarped, we got here and I kicked his can until he cried," answered the psycopath with a slight shrug. Then he realised that he's not exactly here to have a talk. "What are you doing with Sideswipe?" he growled.
Tracks took a step back, fearing that the golden Lamborghini might go berserk on him and thrashed his newly buffed chesse. "Now now, Sunstreaker, no need to get hysterical. Ratchet said to look after him while he went to the staff meeting. And I'm just doing what was told," Tracks replied, raising his arms in an innocent gesture.
"Then why is he scared?" hissed Sunstreaker.
"How can you tell? Maybe he's not," Tracks wondered. But he got his answer when the other bot points to his chest then to Sideswipe. Guess the bond thing escaped him. "Right.."
"Return him to me, and nobot gets hurt, understood?" glowered Sunstreaker as he narrowed his optics and glaring daggers to the Corvette. Tracks gestured to Sideswipe and the yellow twin grabs his brother tenderly. Turning around, he glared at the Corvette again and slips out towards his own room, leaving a bewildered Tracks alone.

Sunstreaker was glad that Sideswipe is alright, despite being a little scared by Tracks intimidation. The twin is humming at Sideswipe to calm his fears, and the sparkling is reacting nicely to it. Gently rocking Sideswipe, Sunstreaker puffed up the pillow a little and place a smaller pillow to cushion Sides' little head.
Once the sparkling is content, Sunstreaker place him on the pillow and heads off to ready the low-grade. As his brother walks away and out of range, Sideswipe twittered, clicked and cooed to get his attention but to no avail. He even tried to push himself up but he doesn't have the strength to support his entire body weight, so he decided to just stay. His brother always comes back for him.
Always.
Returning to his brother, Sunstreaker has finished the low grade and presenting it in front of his brother. "Look what I've got Sides, you want this don't you?" he cooed, shaking the bottle gently once he captured Sideswipe's attention. The sparkling twittered as he tries to grab the bottle with diminuitive fingers.
"Take a bath quietly first, and it's yours," smirked the yellow Lambo. Sideswipe dropped his hands and chirped, as if he understood what his brother had said. "Good sparkling, let's go," Sunstreaker placed the bottle at the bedside table and scoops Sideswipe up and heading towards the wash racks.

This time, the bath he gave to Sideswipe wasn't as troublesome anymore. In fact, the sparkling seems playful and would smile and twitter at the yellow twin once he's into the water. And he'd splash his little arms around and blew raspberries whenever Sunstreaker picks him. After the bath, Sideswipe is ready for another nap.
"Okay Sides, time for your bottle," cooed Sunstreaker. The sparkling simply twittered sleepily as he sucked his thumb. Placing Sideswipe on the pillow gently, he rubs the bottle tip at Sideswipe's mouth until the sparkling latched onto it.
Sunstreaker stroked Sideswipe's helm as his brother continued to suckle the warm fluid. But he suddenly coughed the low-grade out when it went down the wrong way. Sunstreaker placed the half full bottle away and cradled his brother to pat his back. The sparkling simply whimpered when some of the fluid still stuck in the wrong track.
"Come on, cough it out," Sunstreaker instructed all the while still patting his brother's back slightly harder. The sparkling couldn't handle all the patting on his back and the result, a mess of gooey pink low-grade energon splattered on his brother's shoulder. "GAAH!"
Holding his brother in front of him, he turned slightly to see the damage. Seems all the goo had mostly dropped to the floor but the pinkish colour is still on his shoulder with some...clumps. Turning his attention back to Sideswipe, he saw that the lil' sparkling is low on energy seeing as how his optics are a dull shade of blue and weak coughs escaped him.
The icy cold spark that belongs to Sunstreaker always have a warm spot only for his brother, and right now his brother's just a weak Cybertronian baby so he really shouldn't be too angry.
"Ssshh..it's alright Sides. Let's get that bottle and feed you again, this time, I'll make sure to not tip it too much," Sunstreaker murmured while cradling Sideswipe on his left arm.

The night was growing late and most of the Ark residents are fast asleep. In one room however, a certain yellow Lamborghini is lulling his stuck-as-sparkling brother to sleep.
Sideswipe's optics are closed and his tiny hands are placed underneath his chin and coccooned in a thick thermal blanket all the while being rocked to sleep by Sunstreaker. His little head being gently carressed by his brother from time to time. Once Sunstreaker is positive that Sideswipe is sleeping, he place him on the pillow and kiss the little helm before settling down to sleep on his own.

Humming to herself, Jeazmyne kept tapping her fingers on the desk she's sharing with Leanna. The latter is reading a history text book and clenching and unclenching her fist. Next thing Jeazmyne knew..
WHAM!
"OOOWWW! Fuckityfuckityfuck! Why'd you pancaked my fingers?" yell Jeazmyne as she blows air on her reddened fingers. Beside her, Leanna let loose a sadistic grin.
"That's because I'm serious about getting an A for our history test. Just because you're already a genius and would score full marks without even studying, doesn't mean that I'm as good.." she hissed all the while inching closer to Jeazmyne until she hovers over her friend.
"Alright alright! Don't loom over me, you're making me feel claustraphobic.."
Leanna scoffs and returns to her book, ignoring her friend completely. A few minutes passed and the silence was too overwhelming for Leanna, who practically has the attention span of Jack Russell.
"THAT'S IT! I can't take this silence! It's driving me INSANE!" she shouted in frustration and slamming her book down. Jeazmyne was taken aback by the sudden outburst but then she grins, knowing that the other girl couldn't study unless there's music in the background. She wondered how Leanna could do that..
Before Leanna could run off to fetch her music collection, Sunstreaker strode out of his room with Sideswipe tucked firmly in his arms. "Woah there mech, what's got you in a hurry?" Jeazmyne asked in her 'Jazz accent'. Sunstreaker stopped dead in his tracks and turned around, a little surprised at the similar slang. He then glances over to Leanna who just shrugs.
"Once you've lived with her long enough, you'd go insane along with her,"
Jeazmyne glared at this. Sunstreaker only stared at the two before turning around and leave the girls alone. "Nice talking to you too you big aft," muttered Jeazmyne.

"Excuse me?"
"Come on, don't give that slag, you know he's just a kid,"
"I do not see any humor in asking me to watch your brother. I already have plenty of work to be done,"
"He's not going to give you any trouble..except in bathtime but, he'll just sleep the entire day once you fed him his energon,"
"And why is it that I am the one watching him again? Couldn't you have given him to any of your other comrades?"
"Who was the one that made everyone on-shift when I have monitor duty? And for your info Prowl, you're a 'comrade' too,"
Prowl stared at the yellow Lamborghini. Apparently he's right. The main reason Sunstreaker went to see him is because there was no off-shift mech to take care of Sideswipe, who's currently cooing at the tactician.
"Look at him, just a sparkling. Newborn even! Just feed him, bathe him and for once, entertain him. Wouldn't cause too much trouble," told the yellow twin as he thrusted Sideswipe towards the SIC to take.
Prowl was hesitant at first to hold Sideswipe but he has no other choice. Sighing in exasperation, he took Sideswipe into his arms and allow Sunstreaker to go to the monitor room where he'll be spending the next half a day in front of screens.

Optics fixated on datapads, Prowl is writing down the reports with one hand while the other gently bounce Sideswipe to sleep. He just had his energon and now would be a good time for a nap, if he wants a nap.
The sparkling is staring at the SIC with big, innocent optics that's...kind of unnerving for Prowl. Even if he's just a sparkling, it's a little spooky to feel someone watching you doing everything without blinking. Good thing for Prowl, Sideswipe soon gave a big yawn and curled tighter into a ball before sucking his thumb and fell into a deep slumber.
Smiling slightly, Prowl continued his work for a good hour, until music could be heard blasted through the halls. He winced when Sideswipe starts to whimper then wail at the highest decibel.
Growling in frustration, he pushed himself out of the chair he's been vacated and tried to soothe the sparkling by humming slightly. Apparently he have to talk to Jazz about blasting his surround system to its max volume. Just as he was about to walk out, a shrill voice could be heard outside yelling over the music.
Opening the door, he could see Jeazmyne and Leanna gang up on Jazz and Blaster. The girls are currently chasing the two music lovers down the hall with shouts and curses.
"Next time you blast that shitty thing down my ear, YOU. ARE. DEAD!" growled Leanna, her eyes narrowing down to slits as she bared her teeth.
"For all things holy, we are TRYING to study, we have a test that'll mark our classes AND future!" Jeazmyne shrieks, throwing pieces of machinery she found lying in the hallway at the duo.
Prowl watch in silent amusement as the two mechs yelped and ducked at the projectiles. Finally, Leanna pulled out two of her wrenches (gifts by Ratchet), twirled it around her fingers and threw them as hard as she could to each of the bots' helm. They fell with a crash and groaning in pain while holding their heads.
Just as Prowl opens his mouth, Sunstreaker barrelled past and within seconds, he was standing in front of him.
"I heard Sideswipe crying," he panted after having to run from the opposite corridor down towards where Prowl's office is. Red Alert had followed him shortly after and now leering at the two. Prowl stared quietly at the frontliner and glanced at the wailing sparkling in his arms. His gears are turning in his head and he knew this might not be such a good idea.
"Sunstreaker, you are to be relieved off duty until Sideswipe returns to normal," he said out bluntly. Both Red Alert and Sunstreaker stared at the tactician with a quirked metal brow.
"You're joking.." Sunstreaker muttered.
"Not really. I see no one else could take care of Sideswipe other than you. And until Wheeljack can fully rebuilt the machinery, you are to be taking care of him. Consider this as payment for covering Sideswipe's shifts," Prowl smiled warmly, handing the sniffling sparkling back to his brother.
"Prowl, you're serious?" Red asked, staring between the yellow Lambo and the Datsun.
"I am. Go on, I'm sure he needs you to soothe him," Prowl instructed. Sunstreaker nods his head and went off towards his room while being watched by Red and Prowl.

Tiny fingers reaching out towards a larger digit and gripping it before it was placed in a small mouth. Sunstreaker smiled when his brother kept himself content by playing with his index finger. Soft coos could be heard in the twins' room as Sideswipe continues to play with the finger.
Sunstreaker chuckled warmly and stroked the sparkling's helm. His spark poured as much love towards his brother's end of the bond, causing Sides to twitter softly and reaching out to him. Sunny scoops Sideswipe up and place the little helm over his spark.
"Don't worry Sides, I've got you," he cooed. Sideswipe simply smiled.
Uhh..yeah. Sorry if this chapter's kinda shitty, my brain just frazzled out after too much cola. Didn't I tell you I wanted some more fluffiness between the two brothers? If it's too much, do tell me, I don't want to write too much fluffiness since I don't want to melt into nothing.
Right, up next we'll have a problem with the 'Cons. I won't tell you what I'm planning, but it'll be filled with spark-wrenching terror for our lil' Sides. I'm being evil right now.
Read 'n' Review pleaze.
