Bug Bite was cute when he got fussy and loud, not that anyone shared his perspective of that opinion. Maybe it was because Bumblebee found a similarity between them, something he could connect with...vaguely.

"What?! You don't like my boyfriend, is that it? Come on, tough bot, I'll level you!" Bug Bite threatened with a sneer.

Bumblebee got between them to try and calm the tension. He at first addressed the bot being currently subjected to Bug Bite's aimed smartass comments. "We are so sorry, sir."

The mech scowled and walked off muttering, "Crazy bots."

Then he turned to Bug Bite, "You're starting fights?"

"To be fair, that creep was looking at you," he slurred. "I...just took the initiative to protect you and I'll kill anybody who looks at you disrespectfully!"

Bug Bite put up a fist upon that sentence which Bumblebee slowly and politely pulled down with a small smile and gently covered the fist with his own servos.

"Appreciate the gesture, but perhaps don't kill them."

"What about hurt them?" Bug Bite asked in an innocent tone, kneading his tense fist in Bumblebee's hold.

"...Maybe hurt them...if absolutely necessary."

That made Bug Bite grin like a psycho which made Bumblebee laugh. Oh, he loved Bug Bite and his crazy nature. The concern Bug Bite had with his drunken demeanor was incredibly hard to disagree with. They pressed their noses together in a loving gesture before returning to their seats with their drinks.

"I-I-I love you, I hope you know that I would kill...hurt someone for you, protect you at all costs!"

Bumblebee took a sip of high grade, watching Bug Bite's dramatics and slurred speech. "Oh, I have no doubt about that. It's the second time you've told me."

"And I'll say it again. I will protect you, babe. I will-"

"HEY YOU!"

Both turned their helms towards the origin of the shout to see the same mech, now accompanied by a friend, walking towards them angrily. Bumblebee raised a brow while Bug Bite was gritting his denta together.

"I'm not done with you two yet, especially the pale freak," the mech growled.

Bug Bite stood up but Bumblebee did too, once again standing between them. He quickly tried to defuse the tension of the mech, "This is just a misunderstanding! Look, he won't be a bother to you if you let it slide. Are we cool?"

"Ha, hardly, yellow bug. I don't take kindly to wiseasses, not from anyone including you and your psychotic boyfriend. Pathetic choice for a partner, if you ask me."

Bumblebee could sense the aggravation rising behind him in Bug Bite and he was almost convinced to sick his partner on the mech. But he wasn't to try one last time to be polite, just as Optimus and Ratchet had taught him.

"Please, just go about your business. We don't want things to escalate," he frowned.

"Oh, but I do," the mech smirked. He suddenly pushed Bumblebee back into another table. "Now beat it!"

Bug Bite's reaction to him getting pushed away, like his own, was a mixture of shock and disbelief. It was at that moment Bumblebee realized there was not going to be any civil end to this confrontation...and now that's exactly how he wanted it to be. Sorry Optimus and Ratchet, but that advice was no longer relevant. Peace was no longer an option.

"Bug Bite," Bumblebee snarled low.

"Yeah?" The white and purple mech responded uncertain.

"Hurt them."

The largest smile he thought he ever saw on Bug Bite's face formed as the latter slammed his servos on their table and stomped towards the two opponents. Their faces dropped in tandem at the oncoming mech.

Bumblebee sighed, "I tried to be nice but you chose the hard way. I have no choice but to have my psychotic boyfriend show you out of this establishment. Bye-bye!"

"Hahahahaha, you two are about to be bitten," Bug Bite joked menacingly, clashing his fists together with a deranged expression.

Bumblebee saw one of the mechs thrown, the other brutally punched to the point of going unconscious, and then the one poor remaining fool took out his weapon...which was a huge blunder as Bug Bite loved weapons. Hurting others with their own was his signature move and was quite a sight to see. Bee winced when sure enough the weapon was confiscated and used against the other mech, making him flee with minor injuries.

There stood Bug Bite cackling and holding a blaster in servo like a deranged mad mech. Bumblebee couldn't help but admire the stance and walked up to the still-on edge Bug Bite.

"I hate those mechs!" He growled. With a sudden kiss to the cheek, that aggressive behavior melted to purr, "But...at least you're safe, BB."

"Thanks, BB," Bumblebee smiled. "I think we won't be seeing them for quite some time."

"They live to get their afts kicked another day."

"Yep. I wouldn't have it any other way."

AN: Bug Bite was a bit hard to write for because I don't know the character with the little screen time he had but I'm convinced he would totally pick a fight with anyone for someone he loved.
