Y/n stood there as she stared down the red decepticon medic, glaring at him as his saw was visible, he stared at her with a smirk. She stood there extending her arms to her sides and up to her helm in a defenseless manner "Knockout. We need to talk."

How in heck did y/n manage to get Knockout in this situation? Honestly, it was accidental.

She drove around when she seen the familiar decepticon vehicle at the illegal race he occasionally went with with all the younger humans and their sporty cars. She waited till the race was over and followed him out to the empty road, now they found themselves in a stand off. Knockout had undoubtedly called for backup by now as they stood there

"Why were you following me?"

"Because you're a decepticon."

"So what, that gives you every right to believe in up to no good? listen here autobot I was just enjoying a race with those fleshlings, you best be on your way or things could get ugly."

"I know you did nothing wrong and I'm serious about just talking. I need some information and you're the only one that comes out by yourself and very vulnerable. If I'm not mistaken you only have close range weapons."

He growled at her "What exactly would you do in return?"

"What do you want? Besides the location of the autobot base.."

He frowned at her but put his saw away "Cancel the backup, the autobot fled.." He said into his comm-link

"I want you." He smirked

"For...?"

"Oh, you know..." He said as his first 2 digits mischievously rubbed together while he looked at them as if he flicked something invisible away

"No I don't quite know, Doctor so please, enlighten me."

He sighed "A race partner. If I call you come. No matter what."

She glanced away but nodded "Alright then, fine."

"Good, now.. What information do you want?"

"Breakdown. Name ring a bell?"

"Of course, he's my assistant."

"Your assistant? Are you two.. Close Friends?"

"I suppose, why?"

"Has he ever talked about me?"

"You specifically, no. What could you possibly want with breakdown anyway?"

"We bonded."

His optics slightly widen before calming as he chuckled "You're bluffing."

She just stood there and stared at him as he stopped chuckling "You're not bluffing.. Are you?" He asked

"No."

"Oh primus.." He muttered glancing away

"Look, it was before the war and then he disappeared and the bond died, I thought he died but then- but then I saw him a week ago. I have to talk to him. Please, Knockout, I know you're not completely evil, not as evil as everyone else. Help me. I'm begging you."

He stared at her a moment as her servos clasped together and frowned "I suppose.. But if he doesn't want to talk to you it's not my problem."

"Can you get him here?"

He simply nodded as he turned on his link "Breakdown. .... Breakdown. I believe I have something of interest. Have Soundwave send a bridge to my coordinates."

A voice muttered back before he turned it off

"He's coming."

They stood there a few minutes before a groundbridge swirled and Breakdown emerged.

Y/n stared at him with wide optics "Breakdown..."

He looked over at her then Knockout then glared "Autobot!"

"She told me what happened. She asked if I'd bring you down here." Knockout explained

Breakdown glanced away but looked at her "You look terrible."

"No thanks to you guys."

He huffed but didn't say anything

"Why?" She asked walking up to him "Why did you kill the bond?"

He looked down at her and frowned "Because of joining the decepticons, I had to."

"I'm sorry about.. everything. I was the reason you joined wasn't it? That fight before you left."

"No. I just couldn't stand the Autobots anymore, I was wrong. I shouldn't of let them stop me but even they seen the darkness in my spark. I couldn't stay with you so I.. Joined the decepticons and became a medical assistant."

She stared up at him and frowned "did you even care about me at all?"

He stood there and looked at her

"Awkward.." Knockout murmured as he walked away uncomfortablely

"Answer me!" She shouted

"I did. I did so much that killing the bond haunted me for eons, I even tried to go back and find you but the camp was gone. I had no way of reaching you. But then when I was stationed here I found out you were here but I just couldn't bring myself to face you. I felt guilty for the longest of time."

She looked up at him "Did you ever stop caring?"

"No.. I couldn't move on." He looked at her "did you?"

"I... Kind of did but I didn't."

"What?"

"Wheeljack and I had a one time stand after you left but had this big fight about bonding but I told him I was still yours. He left me and just came back, turns out him and Bulkhead are best friends.." She murmured

"Yeah? Well tell Wheeljack to keep his servos away because I'm back."

A wide grin spread across her face as she lept up into his arms

"Breakdown!"

He smirked as he held her "But we have to agree to keep this a secret.." He glanced over at Knockout who looked back and nodded

"Well of course, especially because of our arrangement as well." He said

"What arrangement?" He asked

"We're racing partners now. And before we forget, give us your com-link code, we'll keep in contact without the others knowing."

She chuckled but agreed and did so as they parted ways. She returned to base that night.

She laid on her berth with a sigh as a knock hit her door "Come in."

Wheeljack walked in as he looked at her "Hey sunshine."

"Oh, message from Breakdown, keep your servos away."

He cocked an optic ridge but shrugged "How'd you get ahold of him?"

"I have my ways.."

"So you're back together?"

"Yep. We are back."

"Optimus know yet?"

"No, and he never will unless you want them to find out about us.."

He looked at her and frowned "One time."

"It was more than once and you know it so keep your mouth shut."

He rolled his optics but sighed as he folded his arms "I'll miss ya."

"I'll miss you too."

"But incase Breakdown disappears again-"

"Out!" She shouted as he shrugged and started to walk out as she softly chuckled to herself.
