Crash Course

***

The road sung under Hot Rod's wheels. His spoiler cut through the air, and his accelerator slammed to the floor as time ran down on the clock. Almost- almost-

He was still a yard away from the finish when the clock clicked past his personal best. He skidded past the finish, transformed, and punched the wall. "Dammit!"

It was a stupid thing to get angry over, and he was glad Kup wasn't there to see him. But he loved to race, and racing Blurr was pointless and racing Kup was impossible! The old mech wouldn't even bother. Blurr would at least try to stay in his league.

Grumbling, he transformed and turned back to base.

***

The roar of a strange engine filled the tunnels. Hot Rod gunned his own engine, heard the snarl of the stranger in response. Not a Decepticon, he thought. Unless it was a Decepticon who thought he was a Decepticon. If so, the other guy was in for a nasty surprise.

They raced towards each other, or so Hot Rod thought based off the echoes. But tunnel-echoes were notoriously deceptive - he came at a green car unexpectedly from the side.

But he had the drop on the other guy, and he transformed, using the momentum from his drive to throw himself onto the other car's roof. If this guy was an Autobot, he'd-

The green car slammed against the side of the tunnel, nearly knocking Hot Rod off with the force of the hit. But he held on tight, his pipes warming in preparation to fire. "Oh, you are going down!"

"Wanna bet, 'con?" the other guy growled. Suddenly his body shifted and changed, transforming out from under Hot Rod into a green robot. A punch to the head while Hot Rod was trying to explain he wasn't a Decepticon made his audials ring, and the two of them tumbled across the tunnel floor. They rolled to a stop against a wall, the green stranger on top-

-and wincing as he looked down at the Autobrand in the center of Hot Rod's chest. "Slag. Sorry about that."

Hot Rod headbutted him.

The green guy smirked, even with his optics flickering through a reset. "You're a hot little car, aren't you?"

The question and the way he said it went straight to Hot Rod's engine, making it purr. Blurr never quite used that tone of voice, and he didn't even want to think about Kup using it. "I'm Hot Rod."

"I bet you are." Hard mouth crashed against his, and he enjoyed the distraction of the kiss-

Especially how it let him shift his legs to get the right leverage to flip their positions.

The green guy squawked as he suddenly found himself on his back, and Hot Rod smirked down at him. "Oh, I definitely am."

-End-
