The next morning, Heatwave woke and while he was a bit surprised to find he was still on the boat at the harbor, he was actually shocked to see what else was going on. Boulder was on one side of the fire engine, holding Heatwave Ike a human teddy bear and breathing warm arm on the fire engine's neck. Then Heatwave felt pressure and weight on the other side and looked over only to see Hightide snuggled close to the bot. Heatwave wanted to leave in his processor, but his submissive systems kept him there and he just moaned.
It was only then he remembered last evening, when Boulder and Hightide confessed their feelings for the fir engine. If he remembered just right, he could even still feel them inside him and pleasuring his spike. It was processor blowing, even though he was still unaware his submissive protocols were fully active. They would hide in the background as long as he wasn't interfacing. He couldn't lie anymore, this felt good and liked where he belonged. He then decided to wake the other two up with a hot good morning kiss. And while Boulder woke up almost instantly, Hightide begged for a few more minutes before also rousing.
Of course, Hightide woke to Boulder pleasuring the fire engine. "My oh my, aren't you two having fun?" Hightide asked, causing both to blush though it only showed on Boulder.
"I need you both to return to base with me today, Optimus and his two lovers are supposed to be heading out today" Heatwave revealed. Both nodded, the three cleaned up and then headed out.
Meanwhile, Lancex soon woke. Once again he found himself wedged between Optimus and Predaking, a place that was feeling more and more wanted and better and better to be. Gently he rolls around and woke up his other two mates, who planted kisses on him. Lancex loved this and could easily get used to this. After that, the three made themselves presentable and headed to the rescue bot base, as today was the day they returned to the other base.
Upon arriving at the base, Hightide, Heatwave and Boulder had barely made it back before Optimus, Lancex and Predaking arrived. The Burns family was there as well, greeting all the bots. Optimus told them of his plans and that it was his time to head out after thanking the family and other bots for their hospitality. Chief Burns invited Optimus, Lancex, and Predaking to visit. Lancex and Optimsu stated that they would and soon left.
Kade turned towards Heatwave who looked different from usual and asked the bot to explain. Heatwave stated he was now linked to Hightide and Boulder. And after explaining exactly what that meant, Kade passed out in shock while the others congratulated the bots. "You don't find this weird?" Boulder asked, curious.
"We live in Griffen rock, unusual is the name of the game. Besides, you guys have to create more of your species some how" Dani said and the others nodded. The three bots were glad to be accepted.
