After a good few hours and finally finishing the missions he had been sent out on, Lancex made his way back to Hammerhead. He figured Prime and Predaking would be up and about but he had no idea that they had gone and chatted with his friends. He would soon learn.
As he roared into Hammerhead, he saw Optimus and Predaking with Cid, Cor, Gladiolus, and Cindy. Lancex wasn't exactly sure what to make of it and was even more confused when Optimus and Predaking gave Lancex a big hug. Lancex at least had the grace to blush as he returned the hug. Cor and the others were happy to see that these two actually cared about the prince. Lancex's friends could only hope Lancex would soon confess to his true feelings.
Soon, the hug was broken. "I completed my missions and was extremely successful. I am ready to return with you to help end your war" Lancex informed Predaking and Optimus, both who nodded. Knowing it was for the best, Cor and the others nod as well.
"If we may, my Prince, May we speak with you in private?" Optimus asked warmly, his normally stoic voice sounding slightly different to Predaking and Lancex.
Lancex blushed a bit as well as was in a bit of shock, as he didn't realize they knew he was a prince. But then he thought about the request and nodded. Lancex thanked his friends for their help and soon headed off with Optimus and Predaking.
"Ah… they look so cute together" Cindy said once the three were out of ear shot. The others just shook their heads and got back to work.
Meanwhile, back to Lancex's place, the three arrived. Optimus was calm but Predaking and Lancex seemed a bit nervous, though only Lancex showed it. "We have told you our feelings.."Predaking started.
"Do you feel the same about us?" Optimus asked. Lancex slowly nodded, and then and only then, Predaking and Optimus smiled.
"Who told you I was a Prince?" Lancex then asked, wanting to be with the other two but still confused as to how they knew he was a prince.
"Your friends told us your history, to help us understand you better" Optimus replied. Lancex then nodded.
Predaking, sensing that the bot was in need of "care" began to rub Lancex's back. Lancex moaned softly at the touch. "Come with us, let us help you…relax" Predaking blurted out, guiding Lancex back to the bedroom. Prime smiled and just followed, as he knew it would soon be time for fun.
