Yay! I'm back for a bit! Maybe two more chapters after this? We'll see. Plot bunnies got me! Enjoy!

WARNING:

There is a M scene at the end. When is switches back to Starlight's after Bee's view is where it starts. It will be marked with a double line. No flames, no complaints, and don't read if you don't like. You have been warned.

Starlight's View:

Everybot had been treating me different ever since I had come back. They would stop talking with each other every time I would walk by, then whisper about me after they thought I was out of audio range. Most of them worried if I was ok, but there were a few who thought I had gone rouge. They only ones that didn't treat me different were Hot Shot, Bumblebee, Ratchet, Iron Hide, Jazz, Prowl and of course my Sire.

And even though I had been scanned multiple times by just about every medic we had on staff, I was yet again having my processor scanned for any anomalies by Ratchet.

"I'm telling you, I'm ok!" I sighed, tired of going through this almost daily. It had been almost 12 megacycles since I had been kidnapped.

"One can never be too careful." Ratchet continued his scan despite my protests. I rolled my optics but let him do what he wanted to do.

"You can scan me all day and nothing will change." I muttered. He gave me a look that told me if I continued to complain, a wench to the head was soon to be in my future.

I heard someone cry out in a nearby room. I wondered if it was the new bot, the one from Praxus.

Everybot was on edge after the fall of Praxus. The neutral zone was gone and all but one bot had been killed for no reason other than Megatron wanted to show off how powerful he was. I had learned from Hot Shot that the bot who had survived was Prowl's brother, Blue Streak. He was still being treated for his injuries and PTSD. Other than Prowl and Rathcet, no one had seen or met the poor bot yet. I couldn't begin to imagine what it must have been like for him.

"Who was that?" I asked the old medic.

"Don't you worry about it." Was his blunt answer. "He'll be fine…" But the way he said it made me think Blue Streak would never be ok again.

When I was finally set free, and nothing was found yet again, I went off to try to find Bee. He and the others were busy with the Praxus situation and we didn't have a lot of time to be alone together. I wanted to talk with him, tell him how much it meant that he came after me and how much it hurt being forced to watch him get beat up while I could do nothing to stop it. My spark felt like it was being crushed just thinking about it. I wanted him to know, I would have done the same for him. I loved him, more than I had first thought. The question was, did he love me back?

It took forever, but I tracked him down and found him in one of the shooting ranges. He was practicing, alone and had told other bots not to disturb him. Something was troubling him but no one, except a select few, had the patients to try to figure out what he was trying to say.

"Bee?" I called over the sounds of his gun fire. He stopped, disarming his guns and looked towards me. For some reason he kept his battle mask down, I couldn't see his face so I couldn't tell what he was thinking. "Are you ok?"

He shook his head, finally putting his mask up and coming towards me. He let out a few frustrated whines before trying to convey what was bothering him. Mostly hand gestures and a few broken noises from his vocalizer. I got most of it though.

"I know, I'm sorry. I wasn't allowed to go around the base alone for a while and then all of this stuff with the neutral bots…" I embraced my friend as I spoke. "I missed you too." He let go and shook his head. I knew he meant to say it wasn't all on me. Both of us had been busy with our own thing. "How have you been?"

He shrugged. I guess seeing all of the destruction first hand was pretty surreal. I wasn't sure if he saw any offline bots, but even if he didn't the pictures I had seen…it was a miracle Blue Streak even survived. I told Sire what Megatron had said, about him being chosen to survive. Sire said he would look into the reasoning, but so far nothing.

Bee pulled me out of my thoughts by trying to talk to me again. He warbled and looked me in the optics. I didn't understand what he was trying to say, that was a first.

"Yes?" I tried to get him to say it again, but he shook his head. "Bee, I'm sorry, I didn't…" He shocked me by pulling me down and putting his lip components to mine. He didn't want talk, he wanted show me what he felt. It was awkward at first, but after a few tries we finally had it right. It wasn't how everyone said it would be, no fireworks or whatever, but it did feel right. It was then that I knew that Bee and I really were meant to be.

"Bee." I broke our kiss and noticed his optics had dimmed a bit. "Bond with me." I had an elaborate speech but it all went away when I looked at him. He looked just as shocked as I was.

"I-I mean…One day but…oh frag…" I sighed and tried to turn away but he wouldn't let me look away from him.

Bumblebee's View:

How was I supposed to react? The bot I loved admitted she wanted to bond with me! But…I can't tell her I do to! It frustrated me that I couldn't tell her I wanted the same thing. I had her full attention still but no way to talk…that wouldn't stop me though.

I held up a hand, telling her to wait and tried to find a data pad to write on. I knew there was one around, but Ironhide moved it constantly and no one ever knew where but him. I dug through the drawers that held extra bullets and finally found it under an empty box in the drawer. I quickly typed what I wanted to say and handed it to her.

It said:

Starlight, I want the same thing! Even if it's a ways away, I do want to bond with you.

I love you, and will always love you. Let's hold off on bonding until we know it's safe

Bonding was a dangerous thing. Optimus went through it and he had told us the pain he had felt after Raindown went offline. Bonding involved two sparks becoming one, creating a connection that couldn't be broken by anything but death. It was permanent and meant the two bots would be together eternity. Once broken, the pain nearly took the living mate offline. I didn't want that for her. If anything happened I didn't want her to be in pain.

"Bumblebee." She hugged me tightly, causing me to drop the data pad in the process. I wrapped my arms around her and never wanted to let her go. "You're right, we should hold off. But, I still…want to be with you." Her faceplates turned a light shade of pink and I felt my faceplates heat up a bit too. I knew what she was implicating. I nodded, wanting the same thing but didn't know what to do.

I made a frustrated noise, wanting to ask her. She laughed and took my hand.

"Follow me." She said, and led me out of the shooting range.

She led me back to her place. Optimus was in meetings all day and we both knew my brother had the day off and would be back at my place. We were alone, finally. I felt a wave of excitement and fear hit me all at once as we went in.

Starlight's view:

My spark with beating so fast, I thought it would burst out of my chest. I was nervous, excited…some other emotion I couldn't describe, but I knew this was right. No one else made me feel this way. I led him to my room and made sure the door was locked, just in case. Bee sat on my berth and patted the spot next to him. How was he so calm?

I swallowed hard and sat next to him. I realized he was just as scared when I saw him wring his hands together a few times before I stopped him.

"Me too…" I reassured him. "I'm…nervous. And I know you would never force me, and I would never force you, so…if you don't want to…" He took my hand, looked me in the optics again and made a few encouraging noises.

We kissed again, this time letting our hands wonder over each other's bodies. Finally, I was allowed to explore the seams on his door wings.

Jazz was right, when touched right Bumblebee would moan softly and his wings would twitch happily. He was loving the attention on them. I found that wasn't the only place on him that was sensitive. The seams on his sides and his hip joints were also very sensitive. His body started to relax more, allowing me to really get in and message his sore joints.

He had found some on me as well. My sides, like his, were sensitive but my neck was apparently very sensitive and he enjoyed kissing and teasing me there. He was gentle with me, never once biting to hard or digging too deep into my seams. I tried my best to do the same, but those wings of his were a little too sensitive. I'd accidently rubbed to hard and had it flicked out of my hand a few times before I got it right.

Both of us were worked up by this point, and I wasn't too surprised when I heard the hissing noise of our panels opening. Bee of course was embarrassed about his spike extending without his say, but I reassured him it was ok.

"It's alright. Bee, please don't look away from me." I cupped his cheek and made him look me in the optic. "There's nothing to be scared of. It's me." I smiled at him. He made a whining sigh and relaxed a little bit.

I made him lay on his back. I wanted to test how sensitive his spike really was. With his consent, I touched it lightly at first and slowly worked up a faster pace.

The way his hip bucked told me he was enjoying my touches. I moved my other hand lower and felt a warm fluid coming from his valve. I knew already that he was a carrier mech, but seeing it was…amazing. Bee moaned when I slid a finger inside of him, making sure to keep my other hand moving along his spike. He voiced his approval with moans and broken static noises.

There wasn't a single part of Bumblebee I didn't love. I leaned over, removing my hand away from his spike, and kissed him as I played with his valve a little more. I watched his face and eyes between kisses to make sure he was ok. He was loving this.

I was going to say something, but he caught me off guard and flipped our positions. His optics were a deep dark blue now, darkened by lust. He gave me a questioning look and I nodded, giving him permission to do what he wanted. I gasped when he did something I never thought of, using his glossa on my valve. The feeling was incredible! I felt my body arch but I couldn't make any sounds other than incoherent noises and broken moans. He hit every sensor node inside and out; I felt a pressure building in me and a warning about over heating flashed in my hud.

"B-Bee! Frag…I-I…" He stopped at my word and leaned back over me. He looked a little worried but I reasureed him with a kiss on his nose. I took a few deep intakes to compose myself a bit before talking again. "I-I'm ready…" I said softly. I felt even more nervous as we moved into a better position. I wrapped my legs around his waist, and he lined himself up.

He smiled and kissed me to distract me when he entered me. I felt my seal pop and felt a little pain as he entered me. "S-slow down!" I cried out, it hurt and I needed to adjust. He stopped, peppering kisses on my cheeks to calm me and hummed his apologies. I had no idea that when your seal broke it would hurt. After a few clicks, it felt better and I told him to move again. He took it much slower this time, waiting for me to give him the ok until he fully sheathed himself in me.

We stayed this way for a while, enjoying being joined together and kissing the pain away. I started to get impatient after a few clicks and moved my hips, causing both of us to moan. Bee took this as a sign and started to move his hips, slowly building a good pace. I pulled him closer, wanting to convey how good he was making me feel. He pulled me close and sat up, never once making it so we had to part and sat me in his lap. This pushed him deeper in me, causing me to cry out.

The world didn't matter right now. In this moment it was just Bumblebee and me. All we cared about was making sure the other was feeling good. The pleasure built and I felt like I was about to explode. The pressure in me was at its peak but I didn't want to overload yet. Bee must have felt my hesitation and rubbed gentle circles on my shoulders with his right hand while his left cupped my cheek. I looked into his optics and saw nothing but pure love. I felt the pressure release, overload taking me to a whole new level of pleasure. I vaguely remember crying out Bee's name as I came.

Bee must have overloaded as well, because when I came out of my haze, he was laying on my chest, just as spent as I was. I rubbed his helm, getting him to come out of his overload haze. .

"I love you…" I purred to him as he stirred. He lifted his head and kissed my chest plating, right over where my spark was. He purred back and moved off of me to lay by my side. Both of us were too tired to clean ourselves up right now. Luckily, there was a wash room connected to my room and I made a mental note that both of us should use it when we awoke. I laid my head on his chassis, and cuddled with him like we had so many times before. This time, it meant something different. Finally, we were together.

Bumblebee was gone when I awoke and left a data pad on my desk. His note read:

I was called in to help out with some meeting...

I'm sorry I had to leave, I wanted to wake with you.

We'll talk again soon and I promise to make it up to you!

Love Bumblebee

I laughed to myself. He really needed to work on his hand writing.

"Starlight, report". My Sire's voice startled me, causing me to drop the data pad. Primus he nearly gave me a spark attack.

"Sire?" I quickly responded. "Is something wrong?"

I heard him sigh. "We need to talk."

"W-what about?" Was I in trouble?

"Come to my office when you can. We'll talk here. Over and out." He hung up before I could say anything else. He had started treating me more like a soldier lately. I didn't really know if I should be proud or upset about that fact.

The whole time I worried that he knew Bee was over last night and was going to be scolded for it. The logical side of me said he wouldn't care, since Bee and I had sleepover at each other's homes thousands of times without a problem. But maybe he overheard us. Oh Primus that would be just great.

I knocked on his door and heard him say to come in. I took a deep breath and entered. To my surprise, Prowl was there.

"Please, come sit." Sire was being very formal with me.

"Sire, what's going on?" Something was off. The feeling in the room wasn't what it usally was. There was no warmth, only an empty feeling of something missing. The question was, what?

"Our planet is dying." Prowl said bluntly. The SIC was standing near Sire's desk, hands behind his back and door wings up in a defensive way. It was typical of him to be up tight, but not like this.

"What do you mean?" As I approached them, Prowl watched me with his icy blue optics. He didn't seem to be in a very friendly mood.

"The other night…the Allspark disappeared." Sire sighed. "The Decepticons used the cleanup effort of Praxus as a cover to try to take it. Our men stopped them but…in the shootout it was lost in space." Holy slag…

"Sire, why haven't you told us until now?" This meant our planet would slowly dye off, leaving nothing but an empty lifeless shell, completely void of life. Worst, it meant thousands would die of starvation as the energon supply ran dry.

"I didn't want to spread panic. It has been discussed and the official announcement is being made by Jazz now. I wanted to tell you in person." Sire stood from his desk and walked to his window, looking out over the city as he spoke. "It's been decided that we must leave this planet and seek out where the All Spark has gone. When it is found, we can return and restart life here."

I felt dizzy all of the sudden and Prowl had to catch me.

"Are you alright?" The black and white mech asked me, keeping me steady on my feet.

"Yeah…" My Sire was right beside me as well, worry written on his face. "I…just got dizzy." That was strange, it felt like someone was in my mind for a nano-sec. "Sire…"

"It's been settled. I'm sorry Starlight, but if we stay we'll die. We're risking too many lives…" I understood.

"What do we do?"

"Prowl, Jazz, and I have come up with a plan. We're dividing into teams and going out to find the All Spark." He moved back to his desk and picked up a data pad. "The plan is to build, at most, five ships and send them each a different direction to cover more ground." He told me how each ship would be manned by a team of military bots and also hold a number civilians. About five hundred bots per ship. Though just three ships would hold all of the Autobots. I assumed the numbers would be divided out to keep everything even.

"The ships will take time to build, and at the rate we are going, they should hopefully be done in a few stellar cycles. Until then, we must up our defenses to make sure the Deceptions don't find out."
