Log: Skywarp and Thundercracker
Happens a little bit before April Fools day.
Thundercracker: *TC was feeling unusually happy. Energetically happy. Hell, let's call it was: He was outright /giddy/. Ever since the party for Sarah's sparkling, he'd been practically prancing about with a funny sort of grin on his face.*
Skywarp: *When TC was happy, so was Warp. And, since TC was the calmer one of the two... well. TC'd been prancing, but Warp had been bouncing off of the walls. Quite literally, even. His recent discovery hadn't helped at all in this regard. Right now he was walking side by side with TC, babbling happily about nothing in particular* -and didja know that Mudkips are the same shade of blue as you?
Thundercracker: So I've noticed... *little smirk*
Thundercracker: ...kind of cute, really. Once you get over the weirdness of it.
Skywarp: *Warp nods animatedly, bouncing along with a spring in his step.* Yeah, it's not so bad. It's really weird what kind of things the squishies can come up with, though... *His head turns towards TC and he smiles happily*
Thundercracker: *Returns the smile, sending a pulse of happiness over the bond*
Thundercracker: Amusing, really...
Skywarp: *There's something about TC's smile that kicks Warp's mood into a sort of happy overdrive. It's almost like it was before the war, back in the academy. Just him, TC, and the world. A light flicks on in his head.* Hey TC, TC! Wanna go for a flight? We haven't skydanced for ... prob'ly too long now that I think about it.
Thundercracker: Gladly! *laughing happily at the suggestion. Yes, it had been too long...*
Skywarp: Then let's go! It's a nice day out! *Warp grabs TC's hand and starts pulling him down the hall eagerly. His engine's already revving in anticipation.*
Thundercracker: *let's himself be pulled along, almost dizzy at the prospect of going on a flight with /his/ Warp.*
Skywarp: *And then they're outside and Warp's laughing and taking off with a running leap. He transforms mid-jump and then there's a black and purple jet streaking off into the air.* ::C'mon up! The sun's warm and the thermals're gonna be nice today!"
Skywarp: ::
Thundercracker: ::As you wish!:: *transforms and goes streaking off after him, quickly catching up to his mate and doing several excited loop-de-loops around the other jet*
Skywarp: *Warp banks to the right, tilting and executing a wide, sweeping turn, revelling in the feeling of wind rushing over his wings.* ::Mm, it's been too long since I stretched my wings.::
Thundercracker: *mimics Warp's movements, adding in a flourishing barrel roll at the end, genuinely thrilled to be back in the air* ::Feels fantastic!::
Skywarp: *Warp laughs* ::'Course it does! It's flying! Nothing's better'n flight!:: *He's so happy that he actually passed up the chance to make a pervy comment.*
Thundercracker: ::Oh really?:: *amused* ::Not even interfacing?::
Skywarp: *Warp ponders this for a moment, lazily winging under TC to move to his other side* ::Mmmm... dunno. Alone, it's not. But flying could give interface a run for its money, I think. Maybe?::
Thundercracker: *laughs, languidly looping up and over Warp, so now /he's/ flying on the other side of Warp* ::Interfacing while flying... mmm...*
Thundercracker: [::]
Skywarp: *Warp pulls a snap roll away from TC, wagging his wings teasingly* ::Hey now, that /was/ fun when we did it last... I think it wins over both choices, yeah.::
Thundercracker: *remembers it vividly*::Ooooh...the best of both!:: *banks hard, playfully chasing after his mate*
Skywarp: ::Yeah...::*Warp abruptly slows, brushing his canopy against TC's belly as the other jet flies by* ::But you've gotta catch me first!:: *He revs his engines again and darts off through the sky, whooping*
Thundercracker: *groans at the touch, then let's out at little laugh* ::Is that a /challenge/, my love? Then I gladly accept!:: *with a thunderous roar, he goes full throttle and gives chase*
Skywarp: *Warp chuckles over the comm lines, then races up into the clouds. The condensation's cold and silky soft, full of the promise of rain.* ::I wouldn't expect anything else from you, TC! But you'd better give it your all, I think you're gettin' out of practice!:: *The last part of his call is singsonged, playfully teasing*
Thundercracker: ::I /always/ give you my all, Warp!:: *serious yet pleased voice as he climbs up after his mate, engines roaring with wild delight. He's so close to the other jet now... so close...*
Skywarp: *Races away, turning in spirals and hoops. He's pulling techniques that he hasn't used for vorns simply because he can and he trusts that TC's not going to crash into him.* ::Then come get me, TC.:: *His voice is inviting and almost sultry*
Thundercracker: *says nothing, but growls sexily over the comm as he revs his engines hard and goes hurtling after Warp, the air cracking in a fierce sonic boom*
Skywarp: *The echoes of the boom rumble through the air, rattling Warp's body enough to make him tingle. He smirks inwardly, then ups the ante, pulling everything tight and throwing himself into a dive.*
Thundercracker: *Engines /roaring/ like some kind of feral beast, he follows Warp into the dive at subsonic speeds, thrilling at both the excitement of the chase and the shriek of the wind over his frame*
Skywarp: *Gravity's never let Warp down before. Air's whistling past him and he's hurtling downward at ever-increasing speeds as he holds his stoop. This. /THIS/ was what he loved. Being in control of ... everything, even for such a short while.*
Thundercracker: *He's practically /touching/ Warp's rudder now, trembling down to his very spark with a delirious joy of the /Hunt/ as he deepens his dive, twisting around and over Warp so that their canopies just barely stroke against each other*
Skywarp: *Warp tilts slightly, noticing the ground that's closing in so quickly, but not caring much. He purrs over the comm instead.* ::Hmm, close, close.::
Thundercracker: *TC's growl deepens into a strange, rumbling laugh as he pulls in closer to Warp, rubbing hard against him and turning their ever quickening descent into a twisting spiral toward the ground*
Skywarp: *Warp rubs back, then hums softly, pulling close and tight* ::Ground's close... hold on tight:: *And then just before they get too dangerously close to the ground... a purple flash of light*
Thundercracker: *gasps as Warp poofs them to a safer altitude, a bit surprised... He'd been so caught up in the chase that he'd forgotten all about the possibility of crashing*
Skywarp: *there's the distinct scent of ozone curling about them as they come out of the warp at the same speed they were at before, only this time, aimed upwards. The speed's starting to wear away, but they're still moving quite fast. Warp pulls close to TC, rubbing close against him* ::Won't ever crash with me here, yeah?::
Thundercracker: ::No. Never:: *rubs back, sending a surge of feelings over the bond...love, trust, warmth, ohthankprimusihaveyou!...and hints of a growling lust for his mate*
Skywarp: *Warp revs his engines once, twice, sending vibrations through the both of them before he peels away and flips into robot-mode, staying aloft by using his boot-thrusters and wrapping his arms around TC's cockpit.* ::Hmm, well, we've flown... wanna try the interface?::
Thundercracker: *in reply, he transforms as well, kissing Warp hard as he creates another frame shuddering sonic boom*
Skywarp: *Warp's grip loosens as TC transforms, but he wraps his arms around TC's shoulders tightly when his mate pulls him in for a kiss. He moans into TC's mouth with abandon and shivers when that boom rocks through his body*
Thundercracker: *smiling as he continues kissing Warp passionately, just barely pricking those lips with his fangs and lapping off the droplets of energon with sinuous strokes of his tongue*
Skywarp: *Warp rubs up against TC, feeling the glass of their cockpits rub and squeak against each other. His fingers have run down to run gently over the smooth planes of TC's wings, ghosting over the metal and dipping into chinks, but never stimulating anything hard enough to produce more than echoes of pleasure*
Thundercracker: *Moans at those teasing touches, letting his mouth slide down Warp's jaw to suckle and bite at the cables of his neck. His engines are still thundering hard, shaking both their bodies as he runs a hand down his mate's side, pulling him even closer*
Skywarp: Mmm, I love it when you make noise, TC... *Warp pants, head tilted back and intakes whirring faster and faster as his arousal grows. He himself is totally unashamed about making sounds. When TC's hand runs down his side, he moves a hand over it and repositions it.* Here... touch me /here/.
Thundercracker: *chuckles into the side of his mate's neck, roused and eager to make him /howl/, letting Warp move his hand to where the other wants it. He dips his talons into chink in the armor there, teasing a small bundle of wires as he trails his tongue slowly up and down a fuel line in Warp's neck*
Skywarp: *Warp shivers, sensations causing his thoughts to blank for a moment as sparks of warmth and pleasure start to curl through his body. Feeling slightly guilty, he brushes his hands down TC's leading edges with more pressure than before, rubbing at the sensitive, thinner plating there.*
Thundercracker: *a snarl escapes TC's throat and he nips at the fuel line, holding it between the sharp points of his fangs as he drags the tip of his tongue over that one spot. His free hand moves up Warp's back, talons just grazing the ridge of his backstrut and coming to stop right between his wings*
Thundercracker: ::Tell me what you want...:: *tone deep and dark, rumbling to match the sound of his engines*
Skywarp: *Warp shivers at that voice and starts whispering frantically over the comms, not trusting himself to talk properly with his head tilted back* ::I want your talons all over my wings and back, I want you to kiss me, and I want to interface here, in the air, until I scream and black out.:: *
Thundercracker: *growling laughter* ::As you wish...::
Thundercracker: *He kisses Warp hard, running his hand up his mate's wing and drawing his talons across the hinge of Warp's aileron. Taking his sweet time, TC lets the other slide in between them to glide over Warp's interface panel. He pops it open first, then opens his own, drawing out the wires and connecting them with an agonizing slowness*
Skywarp: *Warp's arms clench around TC and he bucks up into his mate's touch, keening. He buries his head in the junction of TC's neck and shoulder, biting down because he needs /some/ way to express the feelings rushing through him.* ::Yesyesyesyes:: *He chants over the comm, not really thinking about he's saying, but simply babbling for the sake of making noise.*
Thundercracker: *growls at the bite, slamming a pulse of pleasure across the interface*
Skywarp: *Whimpers and pushes his own energy across the lines. He tastes energon seeping from the bite on TC's neck and laps at it apologetically, trying to soothe the sting.*
Thundercracker: *shudders at the surge and the lapping, returning the favor by nipping the fuel lines just underneath Warp's jaw and sucking hard. As he does so, he rakes his claws up over the planes of his mate's wings, scratching fine lines in them*
Skywarp: *Warp gasps, moving his head back to let TC nip as much as he wants. When he feels those thin lines of pain running up his wings he groaned, volume going louder as those claws went higher and higher.* Nnnnng!
Thundercracker: *nibbling and taking shallow sips of the energon, he crushes Warp against his, grinding hard into him*
Skywarp: *Warp pushes energy across the connection, feeling the rub of metal on metal. He revs his engine high and whimpers as he climbs closer and closer to release.* More. Primus, moremoremore. *His hands are clenched into tight fists as he arches into TC and his wings are stretched taut and tense.*
Thundercracker: *If his engines were rumbling any harder, they'd both be shaken to pieces by now...* As...you..wish... *pulls his claws back down the wings, slamming pulses into Warp as the talons dip down to prod the nerve bundles at the base of each wing*
Skywarp: *Warp screams, optics flaring to white as the pulses hit his systems. His thrusters cut out, so he's dead-weight for now. Disorientation hits him as his sensory grids offline momentarily and he clings tight to TC, amping the energy up and cycling it back.* YES!
Thundercracker: *Engines ROARING now, he pumps more power to his thrusters to support both their weight, systems screaming from the feedback*
Skywarp: *The feedback's rocketing in between their systems, growing in intensity and speed. There's static glowing and sparking around them now, producing a visible aura of energy. Warp's drowning in the sensation of wind sweeping over his skin and energy burning through his circuits and TC's warm presence pressed up against him.* T-TC, ohPrimus, please.
Thundercracker: Please? Please /what/? *...do damn close now... Talons twisting in wires as he batters Warp with feedback pulses*
Skywarp: *Warp hisses and whines, engines revving high and fast.* Harder. *He's also on the edge, just about to drop over.*
Thundercracker: *Complies, pounding wave after wave of pulses into Warp as hard as he can. There are arches of energy bouncing back and forth between them now as another sonic boom goes rattling through both their bodies*
Skywarp: *And Warp cries out, overloading. His vocaliser screeches static and high-pitched white noise and he slams his pleasure through the link, off-lining his optics.*
Thundercracker: *Follows his mate into overload, burying his face into Warp's shoulder as he roars*
Skywarp: *White light and love and pleasure pour across the bond as Warp hangs onto consciousness by strength of will alone.* //Loveyouloveyouloveyou//
Thundercracker: *Is dizzy from the sensations, letting every bit of ecstasy he feels flow freely back in response*
Skywarp: *Warp shudders, the rumble of his engines running deep and low as he starts feeling himself slip into a reboot sequence, systems trying to cope with the overload*
Thundercracker: *...the roar trails off into a moan as his thrusters suddenly cut off..... which is fine, given that they just broke through the atmosphere and are floating in sub-orbital space now...*
Skywarp: *Warp's intakes are cycling fast, but they slow as there isn't much air to pull through anymore, and the temperature's dropped significantly. Instead, he starts pulling through the subroutines for off-lining and restarting, optics flickering out momentarily before lighting up once again.* ::Mm, was nice...::
Thundercracker: *...can't speak. Just smiles goofily and nods, cuddling Warp close*
Skywarp: *Warp shifts, wagging his wings a little to move them into a more comfortable state. He leans in and presses his forehead to TC's, gazes meeting.* ::Your smile's something special, yeah?::
Thundercracker: ...yeah... *Feeling stupid happy right now.... Primus, no /wonder/ Warp's always grinning!*
Skywarp: *Warp's just got a lot to grin about. He also really doesn't worry about nearly as much. Sometimes being a moron is good for you like that. Ignorance really is bliss every so often.*
Skywarp: *Warp leans in and presses a soft kiss to TC's lips, engine purring contentedly.* ::Don't get nearly enough alone time anymore, you know.::
Thundercracker: ::No. We don't...:: *kisses back, tenderly stroking Warp's wing*
Skywarp: *sighs and breaks the kiss, pressing cheek to cheek and offlining his optics. There's something to be said for just... being with that other half of you without anything to disturb or interfere.*
Thundercracker: *Engines thrumming gently, he snuggles against Warp as he powers down his optics, content to just float there with his mate*
Skywarp: *In wartime, leaving bonds open all the way had been an impediment. Shared feelings weren't a good thing when you shared pain /as well/ as pleasure. Still, it was peaceful now... * (cont)
Skywarp: *Slowly, almost hesitantly, Warp opens the parts of the bond that he instinctively keeps closed, optics offlined all the while. Peace, love, contentment, all these things flow across, but along with the emotions come bits of sights and sounds and memories. This is how he bares his soul.*
Thundercracker: *shakes quite a bit a the sudden influx of emotion and...well, /Warp/... but soon calms and starts to open up a bit himself, though he's a bit...hesitant...*
Skywarp: *he hasn't opened the bond like this for a while... since that last break down, actually, and even then, that had been somewhat stilted by his agonized depression. This sharing is calm, almost meditative, if Warp could ever reach such a state. It's devoted and calm and ... open. TC can have what he wants and Warp will give it.*
Thundercracker: *...is trembling now as he accepts what his mate offers, fighting hard to hide the insecurities...the fears...*
Skywarp: *fears? what fears? there's over /nine million years/ of history here, and it's all been devoted to you, bonded.*
Thundercracker: *...grabs Warp tight and just... lets. GO.*
Thundercracker: *Wave after wave of feeling pours out into the bond, all the devotion, the love...and the sense that he's not good enough for Warp...*
Skywarp: *not good enough? What's that? When did that ever factor in? This isn't a bonding born from desperation and it isn't one that just anyone can harm. There's something permanent feeling about it.*
Thundercracker: *...calms down, feeling like an idiot for letting those old fears get the best of him again and just goes with the flow...*
Skywarp: *Warp's presence is just peaceful in its almost childish directness. Warp feels happy, Warp feels loved, Warp feels peaceful. All is right with the world right now, and he wraps the feeling around TC as if to say 'look at how good you make me feel'.*
Thundercracker: *...cuddles down into the feeling, basking in and sending back to say 'thank Primus for you'...*
Skywarp: *there's never a need for thanks. This is how things were meant to be. You're one half... and I'm the other. It's why we bonded, remember? Because we /work/.*
Thundercracker: *there aren't words to describe how much that means to TC. He pulls Warp in closer, both physcially and through the bond, absolutely lost in his other half*
Skywarp: *and they're so close now that a part of Warp starts wondering where Warp ends and where TC begins. Thoughts and feelings are tangled up in each other because there's nothing to hide. There's a resonance.*
Skywarp: *Warp slowly moves against TC, trying to fit himself back into his body. It's difficult. His spark is pulsing in his chest and it's hard to keep the chamber from re-opening. To distract himself, he runs his hands down to clasp lightly at the joints of TC's wings, fingers exploring the delicate structures.*
Thundercracker: ...nnagh.... *he arches, not realizing that he's just sunk his talons into Warp's shoulder in reaction to the touch. He's just so...so far gone in the bond right now....*
Skywarp: Thundercracker... *Warp whispers his mate's whole name softly, reverently, as he tenses and traces his fingers up the smooth red stripes adorning TC's wings. He's lucky, so very lucky, to have this.*
Thundercracker: ... *can't even form coherent thoughts right now, just sends out a wave of 'loveneedstayforeverandeverloveyoutillendoftime!'*
Skywarp: *His spark pulses again, overwhelmed by TC, and the chamber opens slightly. Warp winces and forces it shut. He doesn't need TC to think that this is all about sex, really. It's not. He'd stay even if there weren't any of the interfacing (although it'd hurt like hell to go without).*
Thundercracker: *In a moment of lucidity, he notices Warp's chamber open a little then snap violently close again. He sighs a little, a soft smile as he lets his own chamber open. He /knows/ it's not just about the sex, dammit. But that's no reason to /deny/ yourself it!*
Thundercracker: ...Skywarp? *is completely comfortable with just floating there with his mate, chamber open and everything*
Skywarp: *Warp squirms, then lets his spark chamber burst open. It's a sudden relief and he whimpers as it happens, little mewling gasps making their way across the comm.* nng....
Thundercracker: *If he pulled Warp any closer, they'd have practically been welded together by now! Instead, TC lets they sparks do that, welcoming the contact*
Skywarp: *Arcs of energy crackle as their sparks merge, and Warp pushes everything he has and is into TC. 'I'm yours', is what he's trying to say, 'take me or leave me, but that's how it is.'*
Thundercracker: *Thrusts back. 'You're mine and I'm yours. /Forever./ Nothing gonna change that.'*
Skywarp: *Forever... he likes the sound of that. It's almost as if they're reaffirming their vows and, perhaps it's a little cheesy, but he has to say it.* We belong together... *energy pulses into the bond, coupled with emotions and devotion and adoration*
Thundercracker: *buried his face into Warp's shoulder, pulsing back and giving back just as much love*
Skywarp: *Warp slides his hands down the stripes of TC's wings, rubs his thumbs over the seam connecting wing to back, then lets his hands slip down to rest comfortably at his lover's waist, happy knowing that they're here and together. There's energy rising within him, building slowly to an overload, but it's not nearly as fast now, and he has time to enjoy the ride.*
Thundercracker: *Eases into the build up and coasts on it, engines rumbling like some kind of giant purring beast at Warp's caress. He answers by raking his talons lazily down his mate's wings, cutting in just deeply enough to make him squirm but not enough to keep him from flying*
Skywarp: Ooooh. *Warp coos and shudders, wanting both more and less of that sting. He lets the sensation resonate across the bond, sharing the pleasure and the pain with his mate.*
Thundercracker: *Growls, dipping a talon into the junction of Warp's wing to tease at the sensitive wires. Yes, he /likes/ this...*
Skywarp: *He gasps and flicks his wing in an instinctive reaction to the assault on the joint. There's desperation in his voice as he urges TC on.* More of that, TC. Touch me more.
Thundercracker: *Complies, smiling as he strips the wires and begins stroking his talons over the bare conductor.* As you wish.... *He presses a reverent kiss at Warp's neck, nuzzling and humming in delight*
Skywarp: *Warp jerks and groans, enjoying the attention. White is fading out the edges of his vision again, and he realises that he might just leave TC behind /again/. This irks him. He immediately sets to righting this, pushing his fingers into the seams between the glass of TC's cockpit, and the metal surrounding. He /knew/ that area was sensitive...*
Thundercracker: *Bites down /hard/ on Warp's neck as those horrible, terrible fingers thrust home, energy surging him dangerously close to an overload*
Skywarp: *He can feel the growing pulse of energy rising within him. This isn't going to go much longer. Slowly, he whispers to TC over the comm.* ::TC... how close are you?:: *He runs his fingers down over the seam, scraping the glass slightly with the rough edges of his knuckle joints as he sends little pulses of energy through.*
Thundercracker: ::...cl-close...:: *His optics flicker for a moment before he finally offlines them outright, focusing on Warp's neck and those little wires...*
Skywarp: *Warp grunts as TC works at his neck, but he's smiling even as he grits his teeth against the pain.* ::Lemmee pull you over then...:: *He holds TC tightly, then rockets a fast series of hard, bright pulses through the bond, pushing and pulling and exerting himself to the fullest.*
Thundercracker: *If he's mouth wasn't busy gnawing the cables of Warp's neck, TC have been /screaming/ aloud as he crashes headlong into the overload.... slamming back pulses of his own to bring Warp along for the ride!*
Skywarp: *Warp grits his teeth again, a strangled groan pulling itself from his throat as he overloads, arms tightening around TC as he does so. Their sparks are crackling and spitting electricity, so energetic is their joining, and their chests are sure to be a little scorched by the end of this.*
Thundercracker: *His engines aren't just roaring... there's /screaming/ like banshees. But right now, TC doesn't care if it ends up melting them both to slag...just as long as he's with Warp, he'd go out the happiest mech in history.*
Skywarp: *Warp's not even transmitting proper information anymore, simply pounding incoherent white noise through the link as he goes. Somehow, the waiting made this overload that much more intense.*
Thundercracker: *Intense is an /understatement/.*
Thundercracker: *In that moment, everything goes white as TC slips completely out and into the overload*
Skywarp: *Warp 'stumbles' a little as TC goes limp, then his overload forces him over the edge too. Even in forced recharge, he clings tightly to TC, seemingly trying to protect his lover from whatever might harm them.*
They come back to Earth eventually, although we're not quite sure of the mechanics.

Skywarp: *Warp banks to the right, tilting and executing a wide, sweeping turn, revelling in the feeling of wind rushing over his wings.* ::Mm, it's been too long since I stretched my wings.::
Thundercracker: *mimics Warp's movements, adding in a flourishing barrel roll at the end, genuinely thrilled to be back in the air* ::Feels fantastic!::
Skywarp: *Warp laughs* ::'Course it does! It's flying! Nothing's better'n flight!:: *He's so happy that he actually passed up the chance to make a pervy comment.*

Thundercracker: *groans at the touch, then let's out at little laugh* ::Is that a /challenge/, my love? Then I gladly accept!:: *with a thunderous roar, he goes full throttle and gives chase*
Skywarp: *Warp chuckles over the comm lines, then races up into the clouds. The condensation's cold and silky soft, full of the promise of rain.* ::I wouldn't expect anything else from you, TC! But you'd better give it your all, I think you're gettin' out of practice!:: *The last part of his call is singsonged, playfully teasing*
Thundercracker: ::I /always/ give you my all, Warp!:: *serious yet pleased voice as he climbs up after his mate, engines roaring with wild delight. He's so close to the other jet now... so close...*
Skywarp: *Races away, turning in spirals and hoops. He's pulling techniques that he hasn't used for vorns simply because he can and he trusts that TC's not going to crash into him.* ::Then come get me, TC.:: *His voice is inviting and almost sultry*
Thundercracker: *says nothing, but growls sexily over the comm as he revs his engines hard and goes hurtling after Warp, the air cracking in a fierce sonic boom*
Skywarp: *The echoes of the boom rumble through the air, rattling Warp's body enough to make him tingle. He smirks inwardly, then ups the ante, pulling everything tight and throwing himself into a dive.*
Thundercracker: *Engines /roaring/ like some kind of feral beast, he follows Warp into the dive at subsonic speeds, thrilling at both the excitement of the chase and the shriek of the wind over his frame*

Skywarp: *Warp tilts slightly, noticing the ground that's closing in so quickly, but not caring much. He purrs over the comm instead.* ::Hmm, close, close.::
Thundercracker: *TC's growl deepens into a strange, rumbling laugh as he pulls in closer to Warp, rubbing hard against him and turning their ever quickening descent into a twisting spiral toward the ground*
Skywarp: *Warp rubs back, then hums softly, pulling close and tight* ::Ground's close... hold on tight:: *And then just before they get too dangerously close to the ground... a purple flash of light*
Thundercracker: *gasps as Warp poofs them to a safer altitude, a bit surprised... He'd been so caught up in the chase that he'd forgotten all about the possibility of crashing*

Skywarp: *Warp revs his engines once, twice, sending vibrations through the both of them before he peels away and flips into robot-mode, staying aloft by using his boot-thrusters and wrapping his arms around TC's cockpit.* ::Hmm, well, we've flown... wanna try the interface?::
Thundercracker: *in reply, he transforms as well, kissing Warp hard as he creates another frame shuddering sonic boom*
Skywarp: *Warp's grip loosens as TC transforms, but he wraps his arms around TC's shoulders tightly when his mate pulls him in for a kiss. He moans into TC's mouth with abandon and shivers when that boom rocks through his body*
Thundercracker: *smiling as he continues kissing Warp passionately, just barely pricking those lips with his fangs and lapping off the droplets of energon with sinuous strokes of his tongue*
Skywarp: *Warp rubs up against TC, feeling the glass of their cockpits rub and squeak against each other. His fingers have run down to run gently over the smooth planes of TC's wings, ghosting over the metal and dipping into chinks, but never stimulating anything hard enough to produce more than echoes of pleasure*
Thundercracker: *Moans at those teasing touches, letting his mouth slide down Warp's jaw to suckle and bite at the cables of his neck. His engines are still thundering hard, shaking both their bodies as he runs a hand down his mate's side, pulling him even closer*
Skywarp: Mmm, I love it when you make noise, TC... *Warp pants, head tilted back and intakes whirring faster and faster as his arousal grows. He himself is totally unashamed about making sounds. When TC's hand runs down his side, he moves a hand over it and repositions it.* Here... touch me /here/.
Thundercracker: *chuckles into the side of his mate's neck, roused and eager to make him /howl/, letting Warp move his hand to where the other wants it. He dips his talons into chink in the armor there, teasing a small bundle of wires as he trails his tongue slowly up and down a fuel line in Warp's neck*
Skywarp: *Warp shivers, sensations causing his thoughts to blank for a moment as sparks of warmth and pleasure start to curl through his body. Feeling slightly guilty, he brushes his hands down TC's leading edges with more pressure than before, rubbing at the sensitive, thinner plating there.*
Thundercracker: *a snarl escapes TC's throat and he nips at the fuel line, holding it between the sharp points of his fangs as he drags the tip of his tongue over that one spot. His free hand moves up Warp's back, talons just grazing the ridge of his backstrut and coming to stop right between his wings*
Thundercracker: ::Tell me what you want...:: *tone deep and dark, rumbling to match the sound of his engines*
Skywarp: *Warp shivers at that voice and starts whispering frantically over the comms, not trusting himself to talk properly with his head tilted back* ::I want your talons all over my wings and back, I want you to kiss me, and I want to interface here, in the air, until I scream and black out.:: *
Thundercracker: *growling laughter* ::As you wish...::
Thundercracker: *He kisses Warp hard, running his hand up his mate's wing and drawing his talons across the hinge of Warp's aileron. Taking his sweet time, TC lets the other slide in between them to glide over Warp's interface panel. He pops it open first, then opens his own, drawing out the wires and connecting them with an agonizing slowness*
Skywarp: *Warp's arms clench around TC and he bucks up into his mate's touch, keening. He buries his head in the junction of TC's neck and shoulder, biting down because he needs /some/ way to express the feelings rushing through him.* ::Yesyesyesyes:: *He chants over the comm, not really thinking about he's saying, but simply babbling for the sake of making noise.*
Thundercracker: *growls at the bite, slamming a pulse of pleasure across the interface*
Skywarp: *Whimpers and pushes his own energy across the lines. He tastes energon seeping from the bite on TC's neck and laps at it apologetically, trying to soothe the sting.*
Thundercracker: *shudders at the surge and the lapping, returning the favor by nipping the fuel lines just underneath Warp's jaw and sucking hard. As he does so, he rakes his claws up over the planes of his mate's wings, scratching fine lines in them*
Skywarp: *Warp gasps, moving his head back to let TC nip as much as he wants. When he feels those thin lines of pain running up his wings he groaned, volume going louder as those claws went higher and higher.* Nnnnng!
Thundercracker: *nibbling and taking shallow sips of the energon, he crushes Warp against his, grinding hard into him*
Skywarp: *Warp pushes energy across the connection, feeling the rub of metal on metal. He revs his engine high and whimpers as he climbs closer and closer to release.* More. Primus, moremoremore. *His hands are clenched into tight fists as he arches into TC and his wings are stretched taut and tense.*
Thundercracker: *If his engines were rumbling any harder, they'd both be shaken to pieces by now...* As...you..wish... *pulls his claws back down the wings, slamming pulses into Warp as the talons dip down to prod the nerve bundles at the base of each wing*
Skywarp: *Warp screams, optics flaring to white as the pulses hit his systems. His thrusters cut out, so he's dead-weight for now. Disorientation hits him as his sensory grids offline momentarily and he clings tight to TC, amping the energy up and cycling it back.* YES!
Thundercracker: *Engines ROARING now, he pumps more power to his thrusters to support both their weight, systems screaming from the feedback*
Skywarp: *The feedback's rocketing in between their systems, growing in intensity and speed. There's static glowing and sparking around them now, producing a visible aura of energy. Warp's drowning in the sensation of wind sweeping over his skin and energy burning through his circuits and TC's warm presence pressed up against him.* T-TC, ohPrimus, please.
Thundercracker: Please? Please /what/? *...do damn close now... Talons twisting in wires as he batters Warp with feedback pulses*
Skywarp: *Warp hisses and whines, engines revving high and fast.* Harder. *He's also on the edge, just about to drop over.*
Thundercracker: *Complies, pounding wave after wave of pulses into Warp as hard as he can. There are arches of energy bouncing back and forth between them now as another sonic boom goes rattling through both their bodies*
Skywarp: *And Warp cries out, overloading. His vocaliser screeches static and high-pitched white noise and he slams his pleasure through the link, off-lining his optics.*
Thundercracker: *Follows his mate into overload, burying his face into Warp's shoulder as he roars*
Skywarp: *White light and love and pleasure pour across the bond as Warp hangs onto consciousness by strength of will alone.* //Loveyouloveyouloveyou//
Thundercracker: *Is dizzy from the sensations, letting every bit of ecstasy he feels flow freely back in response*
Skywarp: *Warp shudders, the rumble of his engines running deep and low as he starts feeling himself slip into a reboot sequence, systems trying to cope with the overload*
Thundercracker: *...the roar trails off into a moan as his thrusters suddenly cut off..... which is fine, given that they just broke through the atmosphere and are floating in sub-orbital space now...*
Skywarp: *Warp's intakes are cycling fast, but they slow as there isn't much air to pull through anymore, and the temperature's dropped significantly. Instead, he starts pulling through the subroutines for off-lining and restarting, optics flickering out momentarily before lighting up once again.* ::Mm, was nice...::
Thundercracker: *...can't speak. Just smiles goofily and nods, cuddling Warp close*
Skywarp: *Warp shifts, wagging his wings a little to move them into a more comfortable state. He leans in and presses his forehead to TC's, gazes meeting.* ::Your smile's something special, yeah?::
Thundercracker: ...yeah... *Feeling stupid happy right now.... Primus, no /wonder/ Warp's always grinning!*
Skywarp: *Warp's just got a lot to grin about. He also really doesn't worry about nearly as much. Sometimes being a moron is good for you like that. Ignorance really is bliss every so often.*
Skywarp: *Warp leans in and presses a soft kiss to TC's lips, engine purring contentedly.* ::Don't get nearly enough alone time anymore, you know.::
Thundercracker: ::No. We don't...:: *kisses back, tenderly stroking Warp's wing*
Skywarp: *sighs and breaks the kiss, pressing cheek to cheek and offlining his optics. There's something to be said for just... being with that other half of you without anything to disturb or interfere.*
Thundercracker: *Engines thrumming gently, he snuggles against Warp as he powers down his optics, content to just float there with his mate*
Skywarp: *In wartime, leaving bonds open all the way had been an impediment. Shared feelings weren't a good thing when you shared pain /as well/ as pleasure. Still, it was peaceful now... * (cont)
Skywarp: *Slowly, almost hesitantly, Warp opens the parts of the bond that he instinctively keeps closed, optics offlined all the while. Peace, love, contentment, all these things flow across, but along with the emotions come bits of sights and sounds and memories. This is how he bares his soul.*
Thundercracker: *shakes quite a bit a the sudden influx of emotion and...well, /Warp/... but soon calms and starts to open up a bit himself, though he's a bit...hesitant...*
Skywarp: *he hasn't opened the bond like this for a while... since that last break down, actually, and even then, that had been somewhat stilted by his agonized depression. This sharing is calm, almost meditative, if Warp could ever reach such a state. It's devoted and calm and ... open. TC can have what he wants and Warp will give it.*
Thundercracker: *...is trembling now as he accepts what his mate offers, fighting hard to hide the insecurities...the fears...*
Skywarp: *fears? what fears? there's over /nine million years/ of history here, and it's all been devoted to you, bonded.*
Thundercracker: *...grabs Warp tight and just... lets. GO.*
Thundercracker: *Wave after wave of feeling pours out into the bond, all the devotion, the love...and the sense that he's not good enough for Warp...*
Skywarp: *not good enough? What's that? When did that ever factor in? This isn't a bonding born from desperation and it isn't one that just anyone can harm. There's something permanent feeling about it.*
Thundercracker: *...calms down, feeling like an idiot for letting those old fears get the best of him again and just goes with the flow...*
Skywarp: *Warp's presence is just peaceful in its almost childish directness. Warp feels happy, Warp feels loved, Warp feels peaceful. All is right with the world right now, and he wraps the feeling around TC as if to say 'look at how good you make me feel'.*
Thundercracker: *...cuddles down into the feeling, basking in and sending back to say 'thank Primus for you'...*
Skywarp: *there's never a need for thanks. This is how things were meant to be. You're one half... and I'm the other. It's why we bonded, remember? Because we /work/.*
Thundercracker: *there aren't words to describe how much that means to TC. He pulls Warp in closer, both physcially and through the bond, absolutely lost in his other half*
Skywarp: *and they're so close now that a part of Warp starts wondering where Warp ends and where TC begins. Thoughts and feelings are tangled up in each other because there's nothing to hide. There's a resonance.*
Skywarp: *Warp slowly moves against TC, trying to fit himself back into his body. It's difficult. His spark is pulsing in his chest and it's hard to keep the chamber from re-opening. To distract himself, he runs his hands down to clasp lightly at the joints of TC's wings, fingers exploring the delicate structures.*
Thundercracker: ...nnagh.... *he arches, not realizing that he's just sunk his talons into Warp's shoulder in reaction to the touch. He's just so...so far gone in the bond right now....*
Skywarp: Thundercracker... *Warp whispers his mate's whole name softly, reverently, as he tenses and traces his fingers up the smooth red stripes adorning TC's wings. He's lucky, so very lucky, to have this.*
Thundercracker: ... *can't even form coherent thoughts right now, just sends out a wave of 'loveneedstayforeverandeverloveyoutillendoftime!'*
Skywarp: *His spark pulses again, overwhelmed by TC, and the chamber opens slightly. Warp winces and forces it shut. He doesn't need TC to think that this is all about sex, really. It's not. He'd stay even if there weren't any of the interfacing (although it'd hurt like hell to go without).*
Thundercracker: *In a moment of lucidity, he notices Warp's chamber open a little then snap violently close again. He sighs a little, a soft smile as he lets his own chamber open. He /knows/ it's not just about the sex, dammit. But that's no reason to /deny/ yourself it!*
Thundercracker: ...Skywarp? *is completely comfortable with just floating there with his mate, chamber open and everything*
Skywarp: *Warp squirms, then lets his spark chamber burst open. It's a sudden relief and he whimpers as it happens, little mewling gasps making their way across the comm.* nng....
Thundercracker: *If he pulled Warp any closer, they'd have practically been welded together by now! Instead, TC lets they sparks do that, welcoming the contact*
Skywarp: *Arcs of energy crackle as their sparks merge, and Warp pushes everything he has and is into TC. 'I'm yours', is what he's trying to say, 'take me or leave me, but that's how it is.'*
Thundercracker: *Thrusts back. 'You're mine and I'm yours. /Forever./ Nothing gonna change that.'*
Skywarp: *Forever... he likes the sound of that. It's almost as if they're reaffirming their vows and, perhaps it's a little cheesy, but he has to say it.* We belong together... *energy pulses into the bond, coupled with emotions and devotion and adoration*
Thundercracker: *buried his face into Warp's shoulder, pulsing back and giving back just as much love*
Skywarp: *Warp slides his hands down the stripes of TC's wings, rubs his thumbs over the seam connecting wing to back, then lets his hands slip down to rest comfortably at his lover's waist, happy knowing that they're here and together. There's energy rising within him, building slowly to an overload, but it's not nearly as fast now, and he has time to enjoy the ride.*
Thundercracker: *Eases into the build up and coasts on it, engines rumbling like some kind of giant purring beast at Warp's caress. He answers by raking his talons lazily down his mate's wings, cutting in just deeply enough to make him squirm but not enough to keep him from flying*
Skywarp: Ooooh. *Warp coos and shudders, wanting both more and less of that sting. He lets the sensation resonate across the bond, sharing the pleasure and the pain with his mate.*
Thundercracker: *Growls, dipping a talon into the junction of Warp's wing to tease at the sensitive wires. Yes, he /likes/ this...*
Skywarp: *He gasps and flicks his wing in an instinctive reaction to the assault on the joint. There's desperation in his voice as he urges TC on.* More of that, TC. Touch me more.
Thundercracker: *Complies, smiling as he strips the wires and begins stroking his talons over the bare conductor.* As you wish.... *He presses a reverent kiss at Warp's neck, nuzzling and humming in delight*
Skywarp: *Warp jerks and groans, enjoying the attention. White is fading out the edges of his vision again, and he realises that he might just leave TC behind /again/. This irks him. He immediately sets to righting this, pushing his fingers into the seams between the glass of TC's cockpit, and the metal surrounding. He /knew/ that area was sensitive...*
Thundercracker: *Bites down /hard/ on Warp's neck as those horrible, terrible fingers thrust home, energy surging him dangerously close to an overload*
Skywarp: *He can feel the growing pulse of energy rising within him. This isn't going to go much longer. Slowly, he whispers to TC over the comm.* ::TC... how close are you?:: *He runs his fingers down over the seam, scraping the glass slightly with the rough edges of his knuckle joints as he sends little pulses of energy through.*
Thundercracker: ::...cl-close...:: *His optics flicker for a moment before he finally offlines them outright, focusing on Warp's neck and those little wires...*
Skywarp: *Warp grunts as TC works at his neck, but he's smiling even as he grits his teeth against the pain.* ::Lemmee pull you over then...:: *He holds TC tightly, then rockets a fast series of hard, bright pulses through the bond, pushing and pulling and exerting himself to the fullest.*
Thundercracker: *If he's mouth wasn't busy gnawing the cables of Warp's neck, TC have been /screaming/ aloud as he crashes headlong into the overload.... slamming back pulses of his own to bring Warp along for the ride!*
Skywarp: *Warp grits his teeth again, a strangled groan pulling itself from his throat as he overloads, arms tightening around TC as he does so. Their sparks are crackling and spitting electricity, so energetic is their joining, and their chests are sure to be a little scorched by the end of this.*
Thundercracker: *His engines aren't just roaring... there's /screaming/ like banshees. But right now, TC doesn't care if it ends up melting them both to slag...just as long as he's with Warp, he'd go out the happiest mech in history.*
Skywarp: *Warp's not even transmitting proper information anymore, simply pounding incoherent white noise through the link as he goes. Somehow, the waiting made this overload that much more intense.*
Thundercracker: *Intense is an /understatement/.*
Thundercracker: *In that moment, everything goes white as TC slips completely out and into the overload*
Skywarp: *Warp 'stumbles' a little as TC goes limp, then his overload forces him over the edge too. Even in forced recharge, he clings tightly to TC, seemingly trying to protect his lover from whatever might harm them.*
They come back to Earth eventually, although we're not quite sure of the mechanics.
