The next morning, with his processor still reeling a bit, Lancex woke up and found two sets of strong arms laying across his chest. He picked one set of arms and followed it back to find Optimus, who was snuggled up close to Lancex. Lancex was a bit surprised, as Optimus had his battle mask down, showing his handsome sleeping face. Optimus appeared handsome, at least to Lancex. Then, in addition to feeling Optimus' weight, Lancex felt hot breathing on his neck. Lancex turned and found Predaking snuggled close on the side opposite of Optimus. Lancex was thoroughly wedged in between the pair, though he had to admit , even if only to himself, he liked this.
Also, seeing the pair reminded Lancex of all the fun that they had experienced the night before. Lancex blushed then tried to wake Predaking, but the dragon bot growled a bit and asked for a few more minutes to sleep. Lancex didn't like that answer but he had another bot to try and rouse. Lancex gently kissed Optimus, who woke instantly and with a smile, as Optimus had always been an early riser. And upon seeing the success of waking Optimus, Lancex went back to Predaking. This time, Predaking reacted aggressively to being roused. Lancex was not happy. "Predaking, stop being an aft" Optimus belted out, slightly annoyed at how the bot was acting.
"I like to sleep in" Predaking retorted before he saw the upset look on Lancex's faceplates. With a silent sigh, Predaking onlined his systems fully and then planted a searing, hot dominant kiss on Lancex, who blushed at the sudden change and attention. Optimus just smiled and shook his helm. Predaking was going to have to learn he would have to put up with the fact that Lancex and Optimus were morning bots if he wanted to have them as mates, and the other two were going to have to learn that Predaking was not a morning bot.
"Enough bickering, please. Today we are going to head back to your world to finish the war there" Lancex piped up. Though shocked, the two are pleased to hear it and they hurriedly eat a hearty breakfast and head out into hammerhead. Optimus and Predaking hope Lancex's friends won't be upset that Lancex wants to return with the pair to the other realm and world.
Upon reaching the citadel, Lancex found his friends and told him of his plans. Cor and the others nodded in understanding and then Lancex headed off to get some supplies, leaving Optimus and Predaking with the others. Cor and Gladiolus approached the pair and informed them that they were pleased that Optimus and Predaking seemed to make Lancex happy. Prime thanked the two friends and reiterated his and Predaking's promise to never hurt Lancex intentionally. The others were once again pleased with that.
Trusting the two bots, the two former crown guards gave very pertinent info about courting Lancex, while other friends helped in other ways. Cid gave Optimus a gun and Predaking a shield. The pair were a bit confused and also not sure if these weapons would work in their own realm. "If Lancex can use his weaponry in your universe, then these will work for you" Cid added before giving the pair special books regarding the weaponry they had received. Grateful, Predaking and Optimus thanked the friends for all of their help. The friends nodded, wanting the best for Lancex.
It was only after Optimus and Predaking secured the weaponry and information regarding said weaponry that Lancex returned from his run. Lancex asked Cor to go to insomnia, and when Cor asked why, Lancex mentioned about his car. Cor smiled and nodded. Lancex knew his things were in good hands. Now it was time to return to the other realm and fix things there.
