After an incident at the club Ironhide drove Amy and Monica to their homes and then two of us headed to my house. The whole time we drove Ironhide was silent; I didn't know if he was mad at me or is something else was bothering him. The silence was killing me.
"How was on the meeting?" I asked, trying to start the conversation.
"Good," Ironhide simply replied via his radio.
I nodded.
"So, why did Optimus call you? Is it another Decepticon attack?"
"You know I can't talk about it Sandra; it's classified," he said, as he parked in my driveway; he opened the passenger door.
"Are you returning to the Autobot base?" I asked.
"No," he said, "I was thinking to stay here for the night. If you are ok with that?"
"Yeah," I said. "See you inside," I said, as I stepped outside and onto my driveway; I walked to my house and unlocked the front door; entering in, I took my coat off and put it on the hat stand and then walked over to the couch and sat down. I bury my face in my hands.
Suddenly Ironhide's holoform appeared in front of me.
"Are you alright?" he asked, worriedly as he sat next to me.
"Yeah," I said. "Ironhide can I ask you something?" I said, turning my head to look at him.
"Yes."
"Are you mad at me?"
"What? No," he said, "Why are you asking me that?"
"Because you were quiet on the way home," I said.
"I'm just tired," he lied.
He couldn't tell her the truth and the truth was that there was a possibility that her carrier was working for the Decepticons. He knew it would crush her.
"Yeah, it's pretty late," I said, looking at the clock; it was 4 am. "Come, let's go to bed," I said, taking his hand and taking him upstairs where my room was. Once in the room, I changed into a nightgown and crawled into the bed, but Ironhide wasn't there. I raised my head and saw him standing at the doorway of my room as if he was waiting for my permission to get in.
"Are you coming?" I asked.
"May I?" he asked, sounding somewhat confused.
"Yes of course," I said. "You didn't think you'd stand at the door while I'm sleeping?"
"Maybe," he answered honestly.
"You have never done this before, haven't you?" I asked, trying not to laugh.
He shook his head in response.
"On Cybertron only sparkmates can share a berth together," he said.
"Well, you are on Earth now," I said, looking at him. "Get in," I said, as I lifted up the blankets for him to crawl into the bed next to me. Ironhide crawled into bed and hugged me tightly, pulling my head against his chest so that I could hear his spark beating. It was a steady, comforting sound.
" 'Hide?"
"Yes sweetspark?
"Can you tell me about Cybertron?"
"What do you want to know?"
"What it was like there?"
Ironhide sighed before he answered.
"It was beautiful," he started, as he recalled his former home. "Cybertron was the size of Saturn and had two suns that would rise and set at the same time. Iacon, my hometown was one of the largest cities on Cybertron…."
"Tell me more," I said, as I cuddled more into Ironhide's chest.
"The people on Cybertron were kind and friendly and always willing to help anyone who was in trouble."
"Maybe one day you will return to Cybertron," I said.
"No, I won't," he said. "Cybertron is now a wasteland and besides, even if we're able to revive Cybertron to support life again, I would not be able to come back," he said.
"Why?" I asked.
There was a silence.
"Ironhide?"
Again silence.
I sat up in bed and looked at him.
"Why?" I repeated the question.
Ironhide looked at me, his eyes betraying his every thought.
"Because of me," I said, shocked.
"I didn't say that," he said, straightening up.
"You didn't have to, I saw it in your eyes. Maybe Amy was right; maybe us being together is a mistake," I quietly said to myself but he heard me.
"What are you trying to say?"
"I'm trying to say that if one day you're not be able to go back to your planet because of me, then maybe it is better for us to not be together," I said. "Because I do not want you to hate me someday."
"Sweetspark, I wouldn't never hate you; I love you," he said, kissing me in the forehead.
"Now yes, but what if you change your mind fifty years from now," I said, lowering my head.
Ironhide gently grabbed my chin.
"Look at me," he said.
I raised my head and look at him.
"I will never change my mind; I promise you."
"Really?"
"Yes, you are stuck with me for the rest of your life," he said, kissing me gently on the lips.
P/S I got a question for you, how spicy do you want scene to be between Ironhide and Sandra? Tell me in the reviews. :)
