Lamborghini-twins bond
Jettwins bond

Whatever Blurr's message had been wasn't that important, and the Elite Guard split off again; Sideswipe following Jetstorm back to his quarters and waiting as the junior officer rummaged about for something.

"… Whatcha looking for, Storm?" the red-Lambo asked, leaning against the doorframe. He was still yet to tell the jettwin what had happened between Sunstreaker and Jetfire, but from Jetstorm's distant expression during their 'confrontation', he must have already felt it through their twin-bond…

"Something of Jetfire's…" the younger twin replied softly, leaving the spot he was looking and crawling over his twin's berth to look down the side of it. Sideswipe looked on in confusion.

"It important?"

"Right now; yes."

"You… wanna tell me what it is?" Sideswipe went on, still a little concerned about the jettwin's behaviour. Jetstorm softly vented and sat upright, slowly turning his helm to look back at the older bot.

"Sort of…" he murmured, leaving his brother's berth and wandering over to where the Lamborghini sat on his own; jumping up and sitting beside him. Sideswipe's optics narrowed in confusion.

"Well?"

Jetstorm sat in silence, not feeling comfortable to say what he was thinking to the red-Lambo; how would he react to it?

"… Brothers' secret, huh?" Sideswipe guessed, respecting the younger twin's silence and setting his servos on his lap. "I get that from Sunny too, so… I won't pester ya…"

The junior officer looked up at his 'temporary' brother in slight confusion; though Sideswipe couldn't see that confusion his optics held.

"… I can't get much out of your expressions with that visor on, kid…" the red-Lambo said softly, setting a servo against the side of Jetstorm's helm. Said-jet jerked back in surprise.

"W-What are you-…!?"

"Relax…" Sideswipe commanded, letting the jet's visor fall into his servo as he set it aside before glancing back at the younger twin. "Seems better…"

Jetstorm uncomfortably turned his helm away, dimming his optics as best he could to hide the violet glow emitting from them. Sideswipe then sat back in defeat, highly regretting his action…

"S-Sorry… I just-…"

"… Is okay…" Jetstorm murmured softly, giving up and looking back at Sideswipe. He hesitated before speaking again. "I… be thanking you, Mister Sideswipe sir…"

"… Sorry?"

The jet didn't say another word, only quietly leaning over and wrapping his arms around the Lamborghini's middle. Sideswipe's expression was unreadable at the embrace, but he came to find himself relaxing and diligently hugged him back.

"Today was fun, right?" he asked, feeling Jetstorm's attempted nod against his chestplates. "… Look Storm, if you ever need someone to talk to and Fire's being difficult; my comm link's always open."

Jetstorm pulled back and nodded in agreement with a faint smile.

"Mine too," he replied, hastily spinning around and whipping his visor into place as the door opened; Blurr and Jazz standing in the doorway.

"Guess yah twin-swap's over, Sides," Jazz directed to the Lamborghini; Sideswipe briefly getting to his pedes. "Whatcha think of this planet?"

"It's different…" was all the red-Lambo replied with, following the two EGOs out of the jets' quarters. Jetstorm cautiously followed; a feeling of doubt in his spark. Suddenly he didn't want Sideswipe to go…
Before he realised it, he was waiting by the Lamborghini's side for his ride home; Jetstorm keeping his optics on the ground. Sideswipe looked over in concern.

"You and Jetfire can visit me and Sunny if you're that desperate," he suggested, trying to brighten the jet's mood. "I don't think Prime would mind."

"May be being difficult here…" Jetstorm put in, folding his arms as he kept his helm down. "Brother and I being busy…"

"Huh, understandable. I mean, you guys are junior Elite Guards," Sideswipe went on, stepping back as Skyfire landed before them; his engines powering down before the hub-door opened. Jetfire peered out curiously, almost sprinting as he ran over to his twin and threw his arms around him. Sunstreaker stayed back and only watched them; a scowl crossing his faceplates as Sideswipe walked over.

"Bro, what crawled up your tailpipe?" red-Lambo asked out of curiosity.

"That little glitch, that's what…" yellow-Lambo replied gruffly, folding his arms as he watched the jettwins explain their experiences that day. "… Next time… you get the stubborn one…"

"Heheh, fine by me, bro," Sideswipe admitted, following his twin inside Skyfire as the larger jet started his engines once more. "Fine by me…"

Naww, I found dat cute! Stormy didn't want Sides to go! ^^

And yes, now you can all flame me for making Jetfire such a brat to Sunny… Ima gonna use those flames on the 'Formers I hate though :3

Next chapter will be another twin-swap for the day, but a week from these events! ... lel, short chapter...
