After the battle in Egypt, Optimus Prime gives everyone a week off. You ask Ironhide if he'd like to stay at your house, and of course, he says yes, but will he say yes to going to a party and slow dancing? Also, you decide it's time to get Ironhide to live with you at your home, and this vacation is a good opportunity too.

(Y/D) POV
After the battle in Egypt and the funerals, Optimus Prime gave us the week off. While most bots stay at the base, I've chosen to live among the humans. I bought a house not far from N.E.S.T. and have a few human friends out of the base. Some bots, particularly Sunstreaker, don't get why I've chosen this. I'm glad my sparkmate — or as the humans say, husband — supports this idea. I've let him stay at the base, but I hope this vacation will convince him to live as I do among the humans. The next step would be convincing him to start a family, but I'm thinking too far ahead of myself.

Ironhide immediately gets comfortable on the couch, watching T.V.
"Lazy aft," I tease, "fine, you watch T.V. while I make dinner."

Ironhide and I take turns cooking dinner on our dates — with the occasional going to a restaurant — he loves my cooking. I'll make one of our favorites (F/D).
As I'm preparing dinner, I get a text from (F/N) telling me there's a party tonight — in four hours. Plenty of time to have dinner and get ready. Ironhide will let me go, but I want him to come with me. I'll ask him at dinner.

I set the table for a romantic dinner before getting Ironhide. Walking into the living room, hearing him snore. I take my chance and get on top of him and kiss his neck, which causes him to grunt, but I keep kissing him until...
"Why'd you wake me up?" Ironhide grumbles.
"Fine, I'll eat dinner alone," I sulk.
Before I can get off him, Ironhide puts an arm around me and sits up with me, sitting on his lap.
"Hmm, this is nice," he smiles.
Before I can remind him I have dinner waiting, he stands up and carries me bridal style to the table.
Ironhide loves I made one of our favorite dinners. I wait a few minutes before telling him about the party and asking if he'll come with me. Of course, he says yes.

Ironhide POV
When (Y/D) asked if I wanted to go to a party, I realize I need to be sure involved in her life here. She has asked me a few times to live with her here. Even human soldiers at N.E.S.T. go home to their families. I should be telling her I'll be moving in; even Prime said I could.

I was planning on taking (Y/D) on a few dates this week and packed s nice shirt and pants.
(Y/D) is taking a shower as I get ready. I sit on my bed, waiting for her and thinking about moving in with her.

An hour passes before (Y/D) is ready and asks me to come into her room.
I walk in to see my beautiful sparkmate.
"Your face is bright red," she laughs before kissing me. We enjoy this kiss for a while before (Y/D) pulls away, resting her hands on my chest.
"How do I look?" She asks.
"My blushing didn't tell you?" I laugh, "you look sexy."
I pick her up and carry her bridal style to my truck. The party isn't far from here.

(Y/D) POV
(F/N) loves throwing parties. Our other friends and I had to get her to dial it down to once a month since we're all busy. I should have known (he/she) would throw a party when I told them I'd been given a week off. My friends are happy to meet Ironhide finally.
"Nice to meet you (Ironhide's holoform name)," (F/N) says before walking away with the others.
A few minutes pass before a song perfect for slow dancing is playing. Oh yeah, I think (F/N) planned all this. Everyone else who came with their partner starts slow dancing.
"Have you slow danced before?" I ask, though no one's dancing on Cybertron in centuries. Not sure if Ironhide has while on Earth.
"It's been a long time, but I know how to dance. I've seen humans dance. Remember all the romantic movies we've watched?"
Though there are two different ways, couples do slow dancing. Ironhide chose the style with a hand on my hip, and we're holding hands with arms extended a little while my other hand is on his shoulder, moving a couple of steps back and forth.
"Did you pick the song?" Ironhide asks, smiling.
"No."
"Well, I would have picked the song if I knew if requests were being taken. This song is fitting for our relationship. I'll always be here for you."
He kisses me as we continue to dance. I feel like we're alone and not at a dance, but I also feel like we're being watched.
Fuck you, (F/N). You had this all planned.

Ironhide POV
(Y/D) says she didn't plan this, but this seems planned. I wonder if her friends know we are married or are they expecting me to propose? So I'm already disappointing (Y/D)'s friends.
We eat some of the food and talk to others, but we leave the party before it's over. Three hours is enough.

It's eleven at night by the time we get home. (Y/D) wants me to sleep in her room instead of the guest bedroom.
Once we're changed, I get in bed with my girl. She lays close to me as we watch T.V.
"That wasn't a bad dance," (Y/D) whispers in my ear.
"I had a sexy dance partner."
"You were sexier."
I remove the covers and sit on my knees on the bed, my body over her.
"We'll have to test that."
She smiles, knowing what I'm going to do.
A party and fragging with my girl on the first day of vacation; this is going to be a fun week. I'll wait until the end of the week to tell (Y/D) I'm moving in with her.
