Hold Me Closer

Chapter 3 – The Next Morning

Author's Note: Ok so this chapter is about what happens in the morning (if you haven't guessed already). The song in it is called 'A Thousand Years' by Christina Perry. I suggest that you listen to the song before/while you read it. :)


Ironhide's POV

Ironhide's optics onlined and started to focus as he looked around. As his systems re-booted, he flexed his protoform. Shortly after Chromia fell into recharge, he carried her to his apartment. It was better than recharging in an alley.

His optics shot open. Chromia! The last time he had saw her, she had been safely in his arm as he fell in recharge on his berth. Ironhide sat up fast but only to shriek in pain as a shock ran through his processor. Great. Just what he needed. A hangover. He peeked over the side of the berth just in case Chromia had fallen off. Nope, not there.

He suddenly heard a clatter from the other room.

"Ah frag it!"

The femme's vocals echoed in the room. Ironhide snorted. He sat up right on the berth as Chromia approached the door. He slender protoform rested against the door frame. Her armour was still off from last night. Come to think of it, Ironhide realised that he to was naked except from his cod piece.

The femme's faceplates turned red.

"Sorry for waking you from recharge."

Ironhide breathed heavily through his outtakes and chuckled a little.

"Nahh ya didn't wake me. Ah just realised ya'r weren't in ma arms."

Chromia smiled. She tip-toed over to the end of the berth and placed her hands on it. Ironhide shuffled in a different position, bringing his knee's up and separating his legs apart. She pushed herself up on the berth and crawled up, in between his legs then resting on his chassis. A few moments of silence passed before Chromia broke it.

"Can't wait till we start our life cycles together!" Chromia purred, snuggling into his hot red frame. Ironhide gently stroked her helm.

"We already 'ave." Ironhide soothed. Chromia shifted to face him. Her blue optics glinted in the light coming through the window. She gently kissed his right faceplate before returning to her original position. Ironhide closed his optics and listened to the humming noises from Chromia's engine being received through his audio receivers. He memorised the calming clicking and whirling sounds coming from Chromia. The femme was almost on the brink of falling into recharge. Or so he thought.

"Tell me more about you."

Chromia's vocals made him jump.

"Well ma designation's Ironhide, ah'm a weapon specialist – urr – Ah've just returned from Earth with Optimus Prime, Prowl, Jazz, Ratchet, Bumblebee, Red Alert, First Aid, Wheeljack and other mechs. Also ah am helplessly falling for an elegant blue femme."

He stroked the curves in her waist while she hummed to herself. He recognised the tune. It was an earth song he had heard when he was with his team. Earth songs were strange but surprisingly catchy.

"So tell me about your background." Ironhide said. Chromia suddenly tensed up.

"I-I don't really want to talk about it.." she trailed off an curled up into a ball trying to hide her wrists. Ironhide turned her to face him. But Chromia's optics refused to look into his.

"Look babe, ya can trust me." Ironhide quietly spoke. He raised his hand to her faceplates and placed his grey thumb on her chin.

Chromia opened her mouth to speak but no words came out. She shut them tightly and started twiddling her fingers. Ironhide coughed and raised an optic ridge.

"My ex.. he used to keep me inside all cycle.. alone.. and when h-he came back.. on a bad night he w-would.." she hesitated for a moment, ".. r-rape me.." Her optics fell to the floor whilst Ironhide's widened.

"That spark of a glitch. That filthy fragger. When ah get ma hands on him-"

Chromia's expression stopped him. Tears ran down her cheekplates. Ironhide wiped them away with his grey hand and cradled her closer. Her felt her pain through their Bond. He had no idea how to comfort her. Then it came to his mind.

Chromia's POV

She wanted to just forget about it forever but of course, it was too much to ask for. At least she was safely in Ironhide's muscular arms. Chromia snuggled deeper into his hug.

"I have died everyday waiting for you. Darling don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years and I'll love you for a thousand more.."

Ironhide's soothing vocals sung and earth song. The earth song she had been humming earlier. Though the red mech had a deep voice, he actually had a really good singing voice. After a while she found herself singing with him.

"Time stands still, beauty in all she is. I will be brave. I will not let anything take away, what's standing in front of me. Every breath. Every hour has come to this."

She moved her helm closer to his.

"One... Step... Closer.."

By the time they had finished the line, Chromia's lips were captured by the mech's own lips and her mouth was suddenly ravished by a glossia. Chromia couldn't stop the moan that escaped her.

After a few kliks, Ironhide pulled away, letting Chromia catch her breath. Ironhide moved his lips down her neck, nibbling and licking at sensitive wires and cables. Chromia's core temperature was starting to rise. She could feel the heat building in her circuits. Ironhide's hands couldn't make up their mind where to place themselves. First on her cheek plates, then on her chassis, next up and down her waist, then her thighs. But Primus, it felt so good.

Ironhide's POV

Chromia opened her mouth almost immediately. His glossia slipped inside. Ironhide thought that he should've licked or nibble her lips first but his glossia had other ideas. And to his surprise Chromia kissed him just as intently and as intensely as he kissed her despite her tears earlier. Chromia's arms snaked their way Ironhide's neck. He rubbed him hands all over her thighs. He wanted Chromia so much his frame ached. His hands crept up to her chassis. From her mood earlier he thought that she would slap his hands away but if anything she kissed him harder, her glossia darting back and forth into his mouth. Ironhide savoured the sweet taste of her. The best taste on Cybertron by far.

Chromia moved her hand lightly over his groin, sending such shock waves of electricity through Ironhide that his protoform pulsed to. The blue femme on top of Ironhide, started to unlatch his cod piece. When it was off, she threw it on the metal floor with a clank. Chromia took a look at Ironhide's little friend. With the cod piece off, it revealed his erect interfacing rod. Chromia let a sly smile crawl onto her faceplates before positioning herself. The switched places, with Chromia laying on the berth, legs spread apart. Ironhide grabbed her hips, gently. Not to abuse them any more than they had been. Ironhide rubbed in between her legs, making sure that her port was ready for him. Slowly he slipped himself into her. She winced for a moment. Ironhide understood that the last time she had interfaced, it was certainty not for pleasure. But after a few seconds, her expression soothed informing Ironhide to continue. The mech thrusted into her, sending jolts of energy through her. Ironhide sighed. He wanted to show her how much he longed for her.

Chromia's POV

Being in this position, Chromia was terrified but being with her new spark mate, comforted her. As Ironhide's thrusts became harder and deeper, it pleasured her more and more. Chromia moaned in their endless kiss. She didn't want this sensation to stop! Her hands moved over Ironhide's aft to pull him closer to her at the same time she arched her hips. They both gasped as Ironhide slid all the was inside her. Chromia closed her optics as Ironhide withdrew and moved slowly inside her again. The little moan of pleasure she gave excited Ironhide. They were so connected that Chromia couldn't feel where she ended and he began any more. Ironhide buried his faceplates into her chassis. Chromia wondered if he could feel what she felt for him. Just looking into his sky blue optics made Chromia catch her breath.

"Chromia.."

Chromia's optics opened at the sound of Ironhide's deep, sexy voice calling her name.

"You and me, babe, against the world.." he whispered.

Chromia hugged him closer and the rest of the world just diappeared.

'You and me against the world...'
