Arcee x Wheeljack
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's been a couple of hours since Wheeljack and Magnus got back to base after fighting Predaking. Magnus continues to lay on the medical berth as Ratchet fixes up his servo while Wheeljack had gone to his room to lay down and recover.
"Can one of you go check on Wheeljack? Probably should keep an optic on him." Ratchet asks as he works on Magnus' servo.
"Sure th-"
"Arcee can go!" Miko exclaims interrupting Bulkhead.
Bulkhead looks at the girl in confusion, "Uhh..."
"I think Bulkhead should be the one to-" Arcee starts protesting but is interrupted by Miko.
"He's busy!"
Arcee raises an optic ridge, "With?"
"With..." Miko had to think for a moment.
"He's about to go on patrol." Jack cuts in as he starts understanding what Miko is getting at. Miko has been looking for a way to get Arcee and Wheeljack together ever since they went on a mission to receive the Predacon fossil. Jack will admit that he's starting to see them as a pretty good couple as well.
"He can check in on Wheeljack before going on patrol."
"What's the matter Arcee? Is there a reason you don't want to check on Wheeljack?" Jack asked teasingly, he can tell she likes him no matter how hard she tries to hide it.
"No! I just think Bulkhead should be the one to check on his friend." Arcee says as she fights to keep from blushing.
Bulkhead looks between Arcee and the two kids in confusion for a moment before it finally dawns on him what this is all about, "Uh, yeah I just remembered I do have patrol. I would really appreciate it if you would check on him. Besides, it'll give you two a chance to talk and maybe get to know each other a bit more."
Arcee rolls her optics, "Fine, I'll go check on him."
"Finally." Ratchet mumbled.
Arcee just ignored him as she walked away from the group and headed towards Wheeljack's quarters. Truth be told she's a bit nervous about being alone with him, not that she believes he will do something to her, it's more that she's not sure what she will do. Ever since they had that mission together she hasn't been able to stop thinking about him. Every time she's around him she would get this sensation, she always wants to kiss him and hold him. She wants to just be in his arms and feel that sense of safety again. But she knows of his reputation and knows that he would never feel that way about her, which is one of the reasons why she fights against the feelings. She also doesn't want to be in love again and have to go through the same sparkache.
She reaches Wheeljack's quarters and stops, she stands there for a moment to regain her composure before knocking on the door, "Yeah Bulk, come in!" Wheeljack's voice came from the other side.
Arcee tries her best to hold back a giggle as she opens the door and walks into the room. Of course he would be thinking that it's Bulkhead coming to check on him. As soon as she enters the room her suppressed giggle completely disappears as her optics widen, she didn't expect to be walking in to see Wheeljack with his top armor off where she could see his firm, broad chest. He sat on his berth stretching out his shoulder, not paying any attention to the 'bot that just entered his quarters.
I believe that's what humans would call a six-pack. Arcee looks away as a blush starts creeping up onto her cheek plates, she once more composes herself before speaking up.
But Wheeljack speaks first, "Oh, Arcee. I thought Bulkhead would be the one to come check on me since he worries so much."
Arcee looks up at him to see his optics fully on her and a smirk plastered on his face, "He said he had patrol and wanted me to come check on you. How are you feeling?" She asks as she becomes bold and moves closer to him.
"My shoulder is sore but I'm doing just fine. Better than Ultra Magnus. Did the doc say to check on me?"
"Yeah, he said we should keep an optic on you."
"I don't know why, I wasn't injured that badly."
"You were nearly unconscious when Optimus found you two. You never know, there could be something more."
Wheeljack's smirk widened, "Ya gonna stay the night? Would help to be sure nothing occurs while I'm in recharge."
Arcee raised an optic ridge, "I didn't consider it but you have a point."
Wheeljack gets up off his berth and walks over to the door to close and lock it then goes back over to the berth, "Are you just gonna stand there the whole time?" He asks as he gets back onto the berth.
Arcee was looking around the room trying to see where she should be sleeping, guess the floor is just as good a place as any. She gets down onto the floor and lays down on her back.
"What are you doing?"
"What does it look like? I'm laying down."
"Wrong place sweetspark." Wheeljack says as he gets off the berth again.
Arcee just closed her optics, "Where else am I supposed to sleep?" She hears him walking towards her but pays him no mind, he's probably just getting something. Next thing she knows she's being lifted up off the floor. Her optics snap open and she looks at him as she notices that he had picked her up and is carrying her to the berth, "Whoa slow down, you need to be careful with your injured shoulder."
He places her down onto the berth then climbs in to lay next to her, "Eh, you're not that heavy."
Arcee starts to get up and tries to get off the berth but Wheeljack wraps his arms around her and holds her in place, "Stay." He almost growls in her audio receptor.
"So I take it I can't sleep on the floor."
"No, you can't."
"What if Bulkhead was the one in here? Would you have him sleeping in the berth with you like this?"
"Pit no. He'd be sleeping on the floor."
"So why are you letting me sleep in your berth?"
"'Cause I want you by my side." He says as he buries his face into the crook of her neck. He's been falling for this femme ever since their talk in the cave, he even wanted to kiss her. He wanted so badly to just shove her up against the cave wall and give her the most passionate kiss she has ever had, a kiss that would take away her pain and give her comfort again. If Jack hadn't called when he did he would have done it, in a way he was disappointed but at the same time was relieved. He wasn't even sure if she was feeling the same way, for all he knew he would have just frightened her away by making such a bold move.
But the feeling never went away, he still feels that way every time he's near her. He's actually had to restrain himself a number of times to keep from kissing her in front of the others. Now that it's just the two of them in his room alone he can't hold back anymore. He can no longer fight this burning desire that's been building since the cave. He lifts up his head to look into her optics as he hovers over her.
Her cooling systems kick into overdrive as she looks into his optics, the blush that she's been fighting back finally showing itself. He smiles as he watches the blue tint appear on her cheek plates, she wants this just as much as he does. He leans in and presses his lip plates to hers in a soft and gentle kiss that soon turns into a passionate one while he places an arm just above her helm to support himself so he doesn't crush her under his weight. His other arm stays wrapped around her body to keep her close.
Her servos slide over his arms as she kisses him back, her spark pulsing so fast it feels like it would fly right out of her chassis. She's sure he can feel it in their closeness. Does this mean he has feelings for her or is he just toying with her? No doubt it's the second one, he's a sparkbreaker never any feelings for the femme he is with. He just pleasures himself and has a fun time, that's it.
But she doesn't care, just so long as she can get a semblance of being wanted and desired again. As long as she can get a calmness in her life and feel the feeling of safety once more, even if it's just for one night, she'll take it and just move on if she has to. But for tonight she's gonna let it all wash away and just enjoy herself.
