PLIGHT OF THE BUMBLEBEE CHAPTER 5: Home Sweet Home
The rescue's end. Rated M, consensual lovemaking ahead.
Bumblebee opened his optic shutters, cycling air through his intakes as he squinted. He was in a clean, brightly-lit room painted all white, with a red cross symbol above him. He could swear he heard singing, as well. Bumblebee looked around him and saw clean white metal, felt soft, warm sheets beneath him, felt numb to the pain he had known for hours and hours previously. Arcee was next to him, asleep in a chair. She was holding his hand and looked tired, her powerful frame slumped in exhaustion. She was more beautiful than he had ever known her to be, and he knew it was too good to be true.
"I…I off-lined…?" he mumbled as he shuddered on the bed. "F-Finally…now I c-can rest…"
"You're not off-line, Bumblebee." Ratchet said as he walked into the room, holding a datapad in his hands. "We got you out of the cell. You're safe."
Bumblebee sobbed as he hid his face in his hands, pulling his hand out of Arcee's and waking her as she blinked her lovely blue optics.
"Bumblebee…?" she moaned, yawning and rubbing her optics. "Bumblebee! You're awake!"
Bumblebee shuddered and pulled himself into a tight ball, hiding his face in the blanket as he sobbed. Arcee stood next to him, not daring to touch the poor mech.
"Bumblebee?" she asked, placing a hand on the railing placed on the bed. "Bumblebee, I'm so sorry this happened to you…"
"I'm s-sorry…" Bumblebee moaned.
Arcee gasped, horrified at his apology. She sat next to the bed and held out a cube of warm energon, pressing it to his lips as he accepted it.
"Bumblebee, you have nothing to be sorry for." She said, saddened at the gulps Bumblebee made as his incredibly-dry throat drank the energon as if it was a holy chalice. "Especially after what you've gone through."
Bumblebee shuddered and choked on the Energon, realizing what she meant.
"Y-You saw w-what they did…oh Primus…!" he cried, hiding under the sheets and curling into a ball.
"Bumblebee…!" Arcee cried, trying hard not to touch him but comfort him at the same time. "Don't be scared, you're out of that horrible cell. We've got you."
"You should have let me offline!" Bumblebee cried, tears streaming from his optics. "Why…why did you save me…?"
Arcee gasped, shocked at his outburst. She gently wrapped the blankets around his naked, filthy form as Ratchet held up a wet sponge.
"Bumblebee, Arcee and I are going to wash you. Is that okay?" he asked, holding the sponge where Bumblebee could see it.
Bumblebee nodded. Being covered in grime, transfluid, dirt and so forth made him feel worse. Maybe a sponge bath could help. Ratchet handed a sponge to Arcee and she carefully rubbed the sponge around his naked form, making rivulets of dirt slide off of his body and into a basin beneath the bed. Arcee fought the urge to purge her tanks at the sight of his violated body, the scars and cuts he had suffered…at least his spark hadn't been scarred, that would have been the most horrible violation anyone could suffer, and one that would never, ever heal. Bumblebee felt his spark lighten as Arcee rubbed the sponge around his legs, cleaning the awful fluids from his thighs. Suddenly, she accidentally touched a spot that made him yelp in pain, withdrawing the sponge immediately.
"Bumblebee, I'm sorry! Where does it hurt?" Arcee asked, looking into his blue optics.
"E-Everywhere." Bumblebee sobbed, curling into a ball as he shuddered. "M-My whole body. It hurts."
"I'm going to do a mild numbing shock; it should deaden your receptor nodules." Ratchet said as he plugged a device into his helm. "There."
Bumblebee suddenly felt numb all over, like he was floating on a cloud. He stared into Arcee's beautiful optics and sighed, feeling heavenly. The memories still remained in his mind, but the pain was at least gone for a while.
"T-Thank you." Bumblebee sobbed. "Thank y-you so much."
"Bumblebee, you are a hero." Ratchet said, carefully pulling the blanket over him to preserve his modesty. "You saved Elita and all her soldiers from a horrible fate; you are being recommended for a medal of valor."
Bumblebee sobbed and hid himself, gulping as he lay there in shame. He felt undeserving, pitied.
"Bumblebee?" asked Ratchet.
"W-Why…?" Bumblebee asked, shuddering as Arcee held him tightly. "W-Why me? I didn't d-do anything brave. I w-was just t-there."
"The right bot in the right place can make all the difference on Cybertron." Optimus said as he entered the room, making Bumblebee shudder. "You endured such horrors to save our soldiers, you deserve it."
"We'll have counseling ready to treat your trauma, as you deserve." Ratchet said as Arcee held Bumblebee's servo. "You deserve to be healed."
"T-Thank you." Bumblebee said as he sat up in the bed. "I d-don't deserve t-this…"
"You deserve all this and more." Elita said as she gently pushed Arcee forward. "And Arcee has something to tell you."
Bumblebee listened, shuddering as the pain from his violation made it hard to sit upright. Arcee sat on his berth and cleared her vocalizer.
"Bumblebee, you are my best friend, the bravest most wonderful bot ive ever known. And…I have something to ask you."
She pulled open a small box and opened it, clearing her vocalizer.
"Bumblebee…will you bond with me?"
Bumblebee gasped at the sight of the bonding ring, his servos over his vocalizer in surprise.
"It-It might be a bad time, but I was planning it for a while because-" Arcee started to say.
Bumblebee opened a subspace pocket and shuffled around in it as if he was looking for something.
"Bumblebee?" Arcee asked, nervous that he had rejected her. "If you say no, it's all right, I just-"
Bumblebee pulled a small box out of the pocket, his shaking hands opening the box to reveal a bonding ring as Arcee gasped, nearly dropping the bonding ring she offered him.
"A-Arcee?" he asked, holding out the ring as the onlookers gasped in surprise. "Will y-you bond with me?"
Arcee placed both hands over her vocalizer, tears streaming down her optics.
"O-Of course I will!" she cried, accepting the ring as Bumblebee accepted hers.
Their friends cheered, clapping their hands as Bumblebee kissed Arcee, with Arcee kissing him back.
"Then by the powers of Cybertron and all her moons, I pronounce you two bonded." Optimus said, smiling behind his faceplate. "Congratulations, you two."
"Um…could w-we have a little privacy?" Bumblebee asked, nervously looking around the room.
"Oh, of course." Elita said, blushing slightly as she quickly started ushering the others out of the room. "You cute kids…"
Arcee nervously climbed onto the bed and lay next to Bumblebee, not touching him for the moment.
"Are you sure you want this?" she asked, not daring to reach out to him. "You were just through a major trauma, and I don't want to hurt you-"
Bumblebee kissed her, making her optics widen and flash in surprise. Arcee kissed him back, smiling widely.
"I've w-wanted this for over a w-week." Bumblebee said as he rolled back on the bed. "S-Sorry we don't have a more formal ceremony…"
"It's all right, we'll handle that sometime later." Arcee said as she gently moved close to him. "Do you want to be on top?"
"Yes please." Bumblebee said, slowly shifting around until he was laying on top of Arcee's lovely body, kissing her gently and making sure she was comfortable. "Just…tell me if you want to stop or you don't like something. I'll stop immediately."
Arcee smiled, kissing him back as he slowly removed her armor, starting with her chest plate. Her firm, full breasts were exposed to him, and Bumblebee kissed them, making her giggle. Arcee then allowed him to remove her chastity belt with a key she removed from subspace, which she also withdrew a copy of and placed in his hand, closing his fingers over it.
"You will hold my key from now on, my love." She whispered as she gently held him in her arms, removing his codpiece. "Is this all right?"
Bumblebee nodded, kissing her over and over again as she spread her powerful legs. Arcee gasped as he bit down on her neck cables, making her moan in pleasure as he kissed her naked body all over. She then looked into his optics as he wordlessly asked for her consent with a special look in his optics.
"Go ahead." Arcee whispered.
Bumblebee gently thrust into her port, his rigid interfacing cable plunging into the tangle of wires located inside her body. Arcee moaned out loud as Bumblebee plunged into her body and thrust in and out, stirring the juices inside her private cauldron.
"T-Tell me if anything hurts." Bumblebee whispered as he kissed her helm.
Arcee felt so loved as he respected her consent and her body, loving how careful he was with her. She loved him so much, she just wanted to let him know that.
"Honeybee?" Arcee whispered into his audios. "I would like to spark bond with you."
Bumblebee gasped, his optics widening. Arcee looked sad, her expression falling.
"I'm sorry, sweetspark, it wasn't fair of me to ask so soon-!" she started before Bumblebee kissed her, holding her helm in his hands.
"I would love that, too." he whispered, pulling her close to him. "No matter what happens, I want to be one with you. It's my first time bonding with someone, too, so don't be shy."
Arcee sobbed in joy, her optics leaking tears as she slowly spread her thighs, Bumblebee plunging his cable into his new bondmate's port. Arcee gasped as she felt him thrust into her, moaning in pleasure as he shuddered, the memories of his brutal rape threatening to come back. Arcee kissed him, banishing the memories from his CPU.
"It's me, sweetspark, I'm safe." Arcee whispered, kissing his audio receptors and opening her chestplates, exposing her pulsating spark. "You are safe, remember."
"I'm safe…" Bumblebee whispered as he opened his own chestplates. "…you're here, we're naked, we're protected…and we are about to bond our souls as one."
He gasped as their sparks exited their bodies, connected to their forms via a long line of energy. He thrust deeper, magnetizing his interfacing cable to Arcee's port as she gasped in pleasure.
"Oh, Primus…!" she cried out as Bumblebee bit down on her neck, leaving a hickey on the soft, sensitive protoform skin. "Bumblebee, please hold on tight…!"
Their sparks merged into one, making Arcee cry out in pleasure as everything went black.

Arcee found herself floating in a pale blue void, her body merged with Bumblebee's. Her new bondmate was crying tears of joy, as noted by his expression, and gently thrusting into her. The sensations of lovemaking were felt by both participants in the bond, so there were no secrets between them. Bumblebee cried as he gently pushed Arcee into an overload that made her scream out loud, filling her tanks with his transfluid. As a wonderous triple overload overtook both of them, Bumblebee sniffled and wiped his optics, hugging Arcee close as she kissed him full on the glossa.
"I love you so much." he whispered, the words echoing through the void. "You are my beautiful crystal flower, beautiful as the stars and stronger than steel."
"And I love you too, my honeybee." Arcee whispered as she kissed him again, the sensation being felt on every inch of their bodies. "You brighten my life and warm my spark."
They embraced gently, floating in their mental void as the connection was slowly severed, leaving them both naked, well-spent and feeling so much love in the medbay's bed. Everyone else had vacated the area to give them some privacy, so they were alone and snuggled into each other as Bumblebee shuddered once more in Arcee's arms.
"Sleep well, my honeybee." Arcee whispered, kissing his helm and rocking him in her arms as he drifted to sleep from post-overload bliss. "I'll be here when you wake up."
Arcee cuddled him in her arms, determined to comfort him if he needed, love him his entire life and protect him from all harm. She was determined to never again allow him to befall the plight of the bumblebee.
The end.
I haven't written a Transformers fic in ages; how did I do? To anyone who has been raped or sexually assaulted, you are not broken, you are not unlovable, and you are not filthy. You are a person who deserves love and care. Always remember that.
