[IRONHIDE IS ALIVE AFTER AGE OF EXTINCTION AND OPTIMUS DIDN'T LEAVE RIGHT AWAY SHUT UP. ;P )

Ironhide had been messing around with y/n all day, she mostly laughed at how funny he was being until nightfall came around, she comfortably sat in his lap looking up at the stars.

He started whispering sweet-little-nothings into her audio receptors

She giggled at a few until he started getting dirty, her cooling fans whirred. She quietly hushed him a few times out of caution as he just grunted ignorantly, wrapping his arms around her, softly cooing at her as she sighed. He understood why she did it, but he teased her anyway.

"You've been a very naughty femme.." he growled

"Yeah?" She glanced at him

"Yeah. You need to be punished.." he said as he started to kiss up her neck cables. She purred and wrapped an arm around his head pulling him closer as he gently nipped at some sensitive wires

Ironhide growled roughly as he got a little too into the session, she yelped when he bit down on a cable and energon leaked as she whined and climbed out his lap with a frown.

"Y/n, I'm sorry." He said as he reached out and grasped her servo gently pulling her back as she plopped back into his lap with a clash as she softly growled at him

"Must you be so loud? My sire and our team mates aren't that far away.." She grumbled as she folded her arms

"Im sorry, sweet spark." He murmured

"No biting." She muttered

"I agree."

Their helms snapped up as she yelped falling further into Ironhide's lap. Optimus stood there looking over the two as she sat up as best she could while Ironhide tried to hold her down "sorry, sire." She said

"Be careful. Good night." He said as he looked at Ironhide a moment before walking away

"You know we can't be loud when they're around." She muttered at him as he looked down, a smirk appeared on his face plates "What are you thinking?"

"We go into town tonight, hide off in an alley or something. Or even farther into the country."

"Why can't we stay here? I don't want to go out.."

"Because someone's always listening.." he muttered

"I don't care, as long as we're quiet I could care less about cross or drift, not even hound or bee, I don't care, why are you always so defensive?" She frowned

"Because your sire." He frowned

"So? I thought you didn't care."

"I don't but um," he made a throat clearing noise

"No." She said as she stood up

"Come on, y/n! You've been holding out long enough. Shouldn't you be somewhat ready?"

"No, Ironhide, dammit!" She growled as she walked away and looked at him "I don't feel like now would be appropriate."

He simply looked at her with a frown "Then when, y/n? I mean this is the perfect time, the government isn't trying to kill us anymore.. Cade is all taken care of.. we should take advantage of this."

"I said no." She muttered "why can't you just accept that? you said you'd wait." She turned away and sighed

He frowned and stood up "it's been 2 years, Y/N. Just exactly how long do you need to mentally prepare yourself? Because obviously you'll never be physically ready"

She whipped around and growled at him "Ironhide, I've only been waiting this long to see how long this relationship would last but if that's all you can think of doing with me maybe we weren't meant for each other, maybe i was a complete fool!" She shouted

"Maybe it was a mistake!" He shouted back

She stared at him as her vocal processor shut down, choked up as she looked away "Fine!" She shouted before transforming and zooming off down the dirt road leaving behind Ironhide as he hit himself in the helm

"Slag.. so stupid.. stupid stupid stupid..." he growled as he paced back and forth "in the heat of anger you say things... right?" He muttered to himself

"Right."

"Ah!" Ironhide jumped and whirred up his cannons and pointed them at Drift as he gently pushed the weapon away from him and stared at Ironhide who sighed and put them away "Drift.." he said more composed

"I was sent to check up on you, all we've been hearing is bickering for the last 15 minutes. And then you yelled at each other."

He simply grunted "an... altercation."

"Altercation?" Drift gently scoffed "my dear Ironhide that was a spat. A serious one on 1 of the most delicate subjects, given her young age." He said "i hope you do remember she is quite younger than all of us, even Bumblebee.. and well, she's Optimus' offspring."

"Really? I hadn't noticed.." he frowned but glanced away

"Some times... all you need is time, try not to bring it up again anytime soon though."

"Yeah? Or she might blow a fender." Ironhide gently joked

"No. I might have to kick your ass. Some bots are trying to get some sleep. Goodnight." He said as he hit his shoulder on his way back up thr driveway in a patting manner

Ironhide rolled his optics but sat there throughout the night, waiting for something to happen, either decepticon or y/n coming back.

She came back around 5am when the sun was just about to come up as Ironhide looked down the long strip to see the single vehicle mode of y/n

She transformed as she looked at him then glanced away "Ironhide.."

"I'm sorry." He said as she looked at him

"What?"

"You were right.. I was being impatient I shouldn't of tried to push you so far."

"No, no NO. It was me, I was so afraid of what would happen, I've tried to put it off for so long and it wasn't fair. I know we aren't going to fall apart over something like this so I made a decision last night."

Ironhide stared at her in somewhat shock

"We can do it.. tonight."

He looked at her contently and chuckled "what could you be so afraid of?"

"Everything. I don't know about all this stuff like you do, Ironhide, I've never had someone to teach me, I didn't learn about stuff like you did, I just learn whatever my sire teaches me, the subject just never came up.. we don't talk about love or anything like that, especially not after what happened to carrier.." she frowned as she glanced away

He gently chuckled to himself but sighed contently "I'll teach you." He said as he grasped her chin and tilted it up to look at him "it's never too late to learn."

She smiled a little and nodded when he let go of her chin and embraced him "and that's why I love you."

"I guess waiting for over 2 years has paid off" he played "I'll teach you a lot.." He smirked

"How many others have you fragged?"

"Except for that."

"How long was your longest overload?"

Ironhide gave her a blank look before glancing away to actually think 

"What if you're too big?"

"I might be, I guess we'll find out but I'll make it fit." He said trying to deter the other questions but then he frowned

"You're gonna ask me every question you have.. aren't you?"

"Just to make you uncomfortable.." she smirked

"Slag.." he grumbled "well, take your best shots... only the important ones though."

"As if I know what those were.." she rolled her optics "to every beginner, the questions are always important." She stated

He softly groaned as he sat there and tried to answer all the questions he could without getting choked up on them but it was severely difficult until he finally offlined to recharge, she smirked. "Paybacks a bitch.."
