Smokescreen ran around the base yelling out babble from a datapad he found from y/n's berthroom with very juicy entry logs. Obviously it was personal as she ran after him, her face plates a dark blue in fear of whomever would hear him. "Smokescreen, please!!" The young femme pleaded to him, she wasn't much older than him but she was still younger than most of the Autobots. Younger than Bee but older than Smokescreen.

He ran out to the mainroom as she lunged forward to grab him.

"I wish he would touch me again because he has a very GENTLE TOUCH FOR A MECH-" he said louder as he dodged her attack

This caught the attention of those in the mainroom who happened to be Bumblebee, Optimus, Arcee and Ratchet.

"Oh, Jack-IEE" he grunted when she tackled him and the datapad slipped from his grip and slid over to Optimus' peds as he looked down upon it before picking up, she jumped up and fired at the object, blasting it to oblivion but startled Optimus as he ever so slightly flinched but his optics darkened as he watched y/n turn on Smokescreen

"I'm gonna scrap you, too!" Bumblebee trotted up behind her before grabbing her arm and pulling it down making her misfire

"y/n, enough!" Optimus barked, he sounded pissed. "What is the meaning of this?"

"Smokescreen was going through everyone's stuff and he found something very personal of mine and started screaming it out to the base!" She growled as her blasters slid back into her arm

Smokescreen stood up while looking at her cautiously.

"What did this contain?" He picked up the remains of the datapad

"Deep personal thoughts and experiences of war, Optimus.." She muttered glancing away

He took notice of her heated frame, the darkness of her face plates and looked at Smokescreen "Smokescreen, follow me." He said before walking towards the exit as he did as told and followed the older mech

Y/n folded her arms over her chassis as her fans kicked on, her frame decreased in heat and cooled off "I shoulda scrapped him back when we first met, he's nothing but trouble." She growled

"Smokescreen has a lot to learn, y/n , something we all can understand." Arcee said looking at her

"He's still trouble.." Y/n grumbled

"He's looking for entertainment." Ratchet muttered

"He's looking for my ped up his aft if he pulls a stunt like that again.." She murmured

Bumblebee and Arcee somewhat mused at her as Ratchet looked at her with a warning look.

It fell silent until the sound of vehicles driving in came to their audio receptors

They couldn't be back already..' Y/n frowned as she looked towards the entrance but was met with Bulkhead and Wheeljack. She quickly trotted down the hall and out of sight.

She groaned as she paced her room, she couldn't keep avoiding him forever. Frustrated, she laid down on her berth, optics dimmed. "What now..?"

A knock rang in her audio receptors as she glanced over at her door "Who is it?"

"Wheeljack."

She glanced away, choking down her feelings as she composed herself "Come in.."

The doors whirred open, only to show the old wrecker standing there. He walked in as she shifted, sitting on her berth.

"Cozy berthroom ya got.."

"It gets the job done." She said sliding off her berth and standing up

"Oh yeah? What job is that?"

"Privacy away from the team, a place to think.. Look, what do you want? You obviously didn't come here to chit-chat."

He cocked an optic ridge "All right. You want me to be blunt? I want you to go out on the town with me."

It was then her turn as she cocked an optic ridge

"I feel as though you don't like me, y/n. It's a shame. A gorgeous femme like yourself could miss a lot of action with a mech like me."

Her plates heated up "And what exactly do you mean by that??"

"Action, fighting cons.. Ruining a bad guys night." He smirked his optics grazed over her frame "Or.. Did you think of something else?"

She stared at him, her face plates darkened "No! Know what, just get out! Out out out!" She shoved the mech out of her room and locked the door

"Wait so is that a yes or no?" He asked on the opposite side

"No!!" She shouted, she turned around and slid down the door with a quiet groan when she heard his steps fade down the hall.

Two days later she couldn't take it when the afternoon came around, Wheeljack had been around the base for much longer than she thought he would, hanging out with Bulkhead and Miko. She walked over to him as he talked to Miko.

"Wheeljack."

He glanced over at her "huh?"

"I have decided to take you up on your offer."

He gently scoffed and smirked "I knew you wouldn't stay away too long. Come on." He started to head out as he transformed before heading outside, she followed his lead but drove by his side on the road

"where do you go anyway?" She muttered curiously

"To their mines of course.. I find the mines they're working on, snatch some energon and cause a mess."

She hummed in acknowledgment but wasn't sure exactly what 'cause a mess' entailed. But she was about to find out.

She stood outside the mine they found about 40 miles out, taking out the guards as Wheeljack ran in to do what he needed. She kept lookout as he ran out a few minutes later, loud booming explosions followed "RUN!" He shouted as they ran off to seek cover, once a good distance away they looked back. She gaped at the mass explosion continuing.

Wheeljack smirked at his work as she looked at him.

He looked back before transforming "come on."

Y/n transformed and followed as they headed back to base

"Hey, how come you avoid me?" He suddenly asked 10 minutes into the drive

"Why do you not like me? I'm the femme charmist yet I have no effect on you."

She veered from the question "Is that what you mostly do to those mines? Blow them up?"

"Not always." He said "But I asked you a question."

She remained silent as he softly growled

"Why did you get me out here if you don't like me?"

She sighed "it's quite the opposite.." She murmured

"What?"

"Nothing."

He remained silent for most until he drove off the road, she followed.

He rested at a cliff as the sun had been setting. Long shadows casted across the landscape.

"Your little rookie spilled everything."

"Huh?"

He transformed as he looked at her and smirked "what? You don't think I dug up a little dirt on you? You've got some odd fantasies.. But ones I could definitely make come true."

Her engine revved. Heat rushed through her form.

"You don't know anything!"

"Really? So you don't think I have soft servos for a mech?" He scoffed but ran his digit over her hood an optic ridge curved up, she quickly reversed and went back out on the road to head back to base.

He chuckled but followed. He loved when they played hard to get.
