I feel I need to remind you all that this is a ROLE-PLAY we decided to share with you all for amusement, and while some of you have been very supportive, we've had a couple of complaints about the formatting style. Deal with it. I would love to hear your thoughts R&R

Chapter 20

"Remind me to paint her pink one morning, would you?" Soundwave says thoughtfully

"Ha! she will just get you back you know, that right? but yes I will remind you" KO agreed

"Awesome!" Now soundwave was the one dodging, painfully obvious at that

"Now you're dodging" KO pointed out, "we gonna talk this out or what?"

I suppose so... I'm not starting this conversation!" Soundwave says stubbornly

"you're painfully stubborn, did you know that?" KO asked, "how about we start simple, you know how I feel, but I'm fuzzy on how you feel" KO started, "So how do you feel?" It took all of KO courage to get that sentence out

"Yes, I did and I like you... a lot" soundwave says bluntly

"Well... um now what?" KO asked nervously

"How's about we get rid of the peepers?" Soundwave says in his southern accent pointing at the window were the whole group was watching them...

They heard a collection of curses as the bots dispersed from watching, they knew not to invoke Soundwaves anger

"Now that that's done I have no idea what to do now..." soundwave says with a blush

"Um..." KO hummed trying to think of something, "Go on instinct?" he suggested, it wasn't his best idea but meh...

Soundwave just smirked and raised an eyebrow at him as if daring him to continue

"Yeah not going to so don't quirk that eyebrow at me" KO said blushing, "what I mean is... go on with life and just see what happens..."

Soundwave burst out laughing at the look on knockouts face

Once again, KO was the same shade as his hair. But he couldn't help but join in Soundwaves laughter

"Wow! OK sorry sweetheart but that was too go to pass up!" Soundwave says still cackling

"Ha! of course it was" KO rolled his eyes but he was smiling. For the rest of the day they lounged in the sun in comfortable silence or conversation, no bot dares watch or interrupt

~~later~~

Bee was in the training room when optimus came in. "Can we talk?" He asks...

"Uh... sure" she said stopping her rapid punches on the punching bag, "what's up?"

Optimus slid a hand through his blonde hair. "I think it's time we finished that conversation" he says nervously...

Bee blushed slightly, "Uh, probably the best idea" she agreed although she couldn't form the words

"Let's take this to my room, shall we? That way only one person's gonna over hear us" optimus suggested

"Yeah, wait who?" she asked

"Soundwave genius" optimus said with a smirk

Bee face palmed at her stupidity, "right no yeah I knew that, I'm telling ya I did" she babbled as she walked past him heading towards the hall with the quarters in them

Optimus just laughed and followed

Bee babbled the entire walk, she wasn't sure whether she was trying to convince Optimus that she knew about Soundwave or if she was trying to convince herself, but eventually they made it to the hallway

Optimus pulled her into the room and closed and locked the door

"right got the message, stop babbling" she grinned as she bounced on her feet

"So, I forgot were we left of last time" optimus admitted

"same" Bee said, "Of course last time I had no clue in pit what was going on so... start again?" she suggested

OK but pets skip the explanation, shall we?" Optimus asks

"Oh yeah, yeah I've had enough of that" Bee agreed

"Um... I believe this is when I said that we could sort this verbally or physically" optimus said

"And then i panicked and said talk, that's about all I can remember though..." Bee trailed off, she knew Optimus had made the offer again but decided to play oblivious

"Yeah... oh! There was something about instincts!" Optimus said triumphantly

"The connection, right, yep that... happened" Bee added

"Right well you have two choices. Let the feelings go or... uh... make a move" optimus said awkwardly

"You do that" Bee said quickly, it was a response she often answered with when she didn't want to move, and she said so quickly she didn't even process that she had said it

"...what?" Optimus said shocked

"Huh?" Bee said in response, "Oh" she said as she realised what she had said and turned slightly with a growing blush on her face

"How's about we try that again and you think about it first" optimus said as he blushed

"uh yeah, probably smart" Bee nodded. She had the connection so she didn't' know why this was still so hard, "I haven't a fragging clue!" she admitted, "I still don't know what all this is and..." Bee just kept babbling, like always, she felt bad that she put Optimus in this position but she couldn't help it, she didn't know what to do Optimus did something very surprising then... he kissed her... and then bolted

Bee stood there for a moment, she had just silenced by a kiss, she stared at the door. She was in a daze, that was her first kiss

Optimus ended up on the roof. He didn't mean to do that but his instincts took over. His eyes filled with tears as he thought about it

After Bee knew she wanted the second way of working it out, it would definitely save her from blabbering on. She thought of how Optimus had ran, 'his instincts took over, then he realised what he was doing'. Bee felt bad, she left him waiting with not knowing what she was supposed to do. She needed to find him and she knew right where to look, she took off out of his room, closing the door, before bolting to the security room, if anyone knew where Optimus ran to it would be Soundwave

Optimus decided to go into the city for a few hours. He randomly walked around until he found a quiet little park with no one there. He climbed up a tree and hid in its branches

Bee found Soundwave, "Soundwave I need you to find Optimus like now!" she demanded panicked

"Well he was on the roof but then he went in to the city. I got him in a little park, right here" soundwave says pointing to the screen

"Okay... Oh I know that park!" Bee perked, "Thanks Soundwave" Bee thanked as she went to run to the park

"Well that was weird... all well" soundwave shrugged as he watched her go

Bee made it to the park in two minutes, she stopped at the entrance of the park to catch her breath

Optimus saw her and hid behind the branches

Bee stood scanning the park for any sign of Optimus, but she couldn't see him, she didn't think to look into the trees, after all she didn't think Optimus would climb unless he needed to

Optimus hoped that she didn't search the trees

Bee got onto the comms, "Soundwave, are you sure he's here?" she asked

"Yeah. Says he's bout ten meters to you left" soundwave replied

"A tree, oh scrap, he climbed a tree" Bee realised, "Thanks Soundwave!" Bee got off the comms and walked over to the tree crossing her arms. She couldn't see him in the foliage but she knew he'd hear her, "Didn't peg you as a tree climber"
