*After the
events of the day, it was a rather dirtier Ratchet and Wheeljack that made their way back to the Ark. Ratchet was quieter, already mourning the loss of their free time together. He was fully expecting to be accosted as soon as he rolled in sight of the Ark. He just had to hope that Sunstreaker and Sideswipe had behaved themselves and hadn't injured themselves or anyone else*
[Smut warning within contents... it's Ratchet and Wheeljack alone together, what else did you expect? They can't keep their hands off one another!]
