I yelped once more as the servo came crashing down on my rear plating.

I bit back the energon threatening to spill from my optics behind my vision but in doing so I drew energon from my lip plates. "Sire, Please-!"

"STAY STILL." His sire barked harshly.

His twin sibling watched as she had energon in her optics and the dent in her frame, she stood next to his carrier who just couldn't look as her optics casted to the side while grasping his siblings shoulders.

I stood there and stared at the mech infront of me as he waved his servo infront of me.

"(Name. Name!) hey! Hellllo~.."

I flinched "o-oh.. Sorry, Sideswipe."

"Did you glitch or.. What happened? You're leaking." He said

I reached up and wiped away the energon from my optics "f-fine.. Nothing serious."

"Yeah? Should I go get Ratchet.. Or..-"

"No! I'm ok, really!"

"Ok.." Sideswipe glanced away before leaving me alone as I sighed

'stupid, stupid, stupid! He just bumped you!'

"(Name)."

"Scrap.." I muttered but turned around "Yeah?"

"It's time for patrol." Ironhide said

"O-of course!" I said

"What's wrong?" He frowned at me

"Nothing. Why?"

"Because you're leaking." He said as his thick digit came over and brushed my face, his frown never fazed.

Yes, I never told my mech of my past problem, so what??

"Please, let's just go." I said as I went to walk away before his arm blocked my path.

"Whoa, hold on. Did Sideswipe upset you? What'd that little fragger say this time?" He growled

"Seriously, it's nothing. Let's go."

He grabbed my wrist joint and pulled me closer as he frowned "He won't get away with it, tell me now."

"Honestly, it wasn't him!"

"Then why were you leaking?" He asked as he released my wrist

I glanced away but sighed "I'll tell you when we're alone.. Let's go." I murmured but walked past him as I heard him scowl but follow me as we transformed and left the base

"We're alone, now tell me."

I sighed "Ok, Sideswipe might of done something-"

"THAT LITTLE-"

"BEFORE YOU GET MAD, LISTEN!" I begged as he paused, I sighed "He didn't even know but he pressed against my rear plating."

"So?"

"So... I've always hated being touched ever since I was a mechling because I got beat by my sire after I accidentally hurt my twin femme.. He wouldn't listen and didn't tolerate my 'abusive behavior', he wanted to raise a gentlemech but he got the opposite.. I couldn't even look at a femme before fritzing out, he scared me from every femme in my sight but then my rear plating was always softened because of him."

Ironhide remained quiet but then started to softly chuckle as I was mortified at the response "why are you laughing?!"

He stopped "It just.. I'm sorry. It just explains a lot."

"What do you mean?"

"Whenever someone's behind you you always keep your servos behind you or you corner yourself into a wall so no one touchs you in a gathering, I always knew you were shy but even when we were together you'd do it."

"A-am I really that bad?" I asked, embarrassed

"You're fine. It just explains why you do that all the time.. Gives me a little insight, now I know to protect your rear more than ever, because it's mine.."

I couldn't help but chuckle as he chuckled a little himself. Soon we became a laughing duo because for the first time ever I giggled instead of chuckled and Ironhide said it was adorable.

We piped down as we finished our patrol and returned to base as we transformed, I walked in with him behind me. My face plates were a little dark after the incident.

"What happened, you two get a quickie?" Sideswipe snickered

"No!" My plates got darker as I slid my mouth guard on to hide most of the dark shade of blue, they couldn't see my face now.

"He giggles." Ironhide said

"Giggles? How the frag did you get him to giggle?"

Ironhide smirked "We talk."

Sideswipe grinned "Hey, mr giggles! aren't you forgetting something? Like mr chuckles over here has to leave in an hour?"

Ironhide cocked a metallic brow but looked at me "I'm going on a mission with Optimus and Mirage.. I forgot to tell you."

I glanced back and sighed. He's so 'forgetful', he does this to me all the time, he never forgets but he waits till the last second to tell me so I don't have a say in the matter.

I walked away and conversated with Bumblebee and Ratchet for half an hour before Sideswipe came over and teased me about Ironhide leaving. I growled when I heard they were loading up. I frowned at Sideswipe as my visor was raised, he backed off but my mouth guard remained in place

I walked over to Ironhide who was cleaning his cannons. I looked over his dark black exterior "how long will you be gone?"

"Not too long."

"How long?"

"A few days.. A week.." He muttered

I frowned at him as he looked up at me and smirked

"I know you're pouting under there, but if you knew you wouldn't of let me go. Give me some good luck?" He asked

I frowned at him and folded my arms "No! You're a jerk. You promised you'd warn me if you'd be away for a few days or longer."

He smirked and wrapped an arm around me "Come on. Pull it back."

"No.. You don't deserve my luck."

He twirled me around and pressed me into the wall "(name).."

"Ironhide.."

We both frowned at each other

"Don't make me rip it off.."

"No! Ratchet just fixed it!" I whined

"Take.it.off.." He growled and gently pressed my rear plating as I yelped

"Ironhide.." I groaned and frowned at him more "now I don't want to even more because you did that.."

He sighed but pressed his helm into mine

"Say it. Say it now." I seethed

"I love you.." He murmured

"That wasn't what I meant and you know it."

"M sorry.." He gently nicked the mouth guard "Please.." He whispered

I smirked to myself "what was that? I didn't hear you.."

"Please.." He murmured a little louder

"Hmm..." I hummed "I still didn't quite get that.."

He softly growled

"Beg for me." I murmured

"I need your luck. Please, (name). Please." He murmured a little impatiently

I grinned "Good mech.." I wrapped my arms around him as he backed me into the wall and slid back my mouth guard, he instantly jerked forward, pressing his lips against mine in a steamy kiss, hungrily eating mine as I gently groaned.

"You gotta stop this begging scrap or I might just have to rip off your interface panel and frag you infront of everyone.. I'll make sure you get a good one when we get back.." He growled passionately into my audio receptors making me feel tingly all over as I grinned to myself and chuckled

"I'd like to see you try.."

"Oh?" He reached down and grasped my panel as I whined

"hey,hey, hey, ho- no."

"Don't tempt me." He smirked

I pouted at him as his fist came up and gently bumped my chin "You'll be fine. I have Bumblebee watching over you.. "

I cocked a brow at him as he looked over my face "don't give me that look.."

"Whenever you leave Bumblebee in charge he takes it way too serious.. He follows me around like a helpless earth creature."

"That's because I told him if anything ever happened to you I'd rip out his t-cog.." He muttered

I frowned at him "I can handle myself for a week."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah. I did just fine before you came."

He grunted "Fine.. But if I find out Sideswipe touched you again-"

"I'll keep him away. Just go do your mission."

"I'm checking in with you every few hours and if you don't respond I'm kicking your aft when I get back." He growled as he pressed himself into my frame dominantly

I let out a moan at the pressure and wave of dominance he sent to me. "Fine.."

"Good." He muttered before gently catching my lips on his once more "I'll see you in a week."
