Prompt: July 16th - Transformers (movie), Mikaela/any Autobots - sexual incompatibility: "square peg, round hole"
Summary: Mikaela deals with some unwanted male attention
“It’s just not going to work out between the two of us, Wheelie,” Mikaela tried to break it to him gently.
“Awww, but I could make it so good for you, warrior goddess,” Wheelie cajoled.
It wouldn’t be so bad if Mikaela didn’t sorta like the little perv. He could be almost cute in a really weird sort of way, she’d admitted to Bumblebee once.
He’d reappeared after the battle at the pyramids (“Hey, if you were smarter you’d scram too when shit like that is going on!”) and had stuck to her like slime ever since.
He was actually quite useful in the shop too, locating useful parts from scrap heaps and salvage yards. “Stuff like that I used to do before the Decepticons showed up,” he’d told the Autobots when they’d questioned him, “Fraggers just plunked themselves down in my sector and said I was one of ‘em and to get to work. It was either that or the smelting pits, so it’s not like I could say no.”
Ironhide had snorted skeptically, “Right, they made you do it. Because we haven’t all heard that one before, runt.”
At that point Wheelie had made a rude suggestion involving Ironhide doing something with his canons, and Mikaela had grabbed Wheelie to keep him from getting pounded into scrap.
So she’d somehow managed to end up as his de facto probation officer, because none of the Autobots wanted the job.
“Look Wheelie, you’re a nice er…guy and all, but we’re not exactly, you know compatible,” Mikaela tried to explain, “Square peg, round hole, and all that stuff.” She had some practice at letting guys down easy, but at least they had been the same species as her! None of the other Autobots had showed any interest in hooking up with humans, so she had to wonder what Wheelie’s deal was.
“Details,” Wheelie brushed it off, “Where there’s a will there’s a way - huh sweetheart?” He beeped lewdly at her, “I’ve been downloading some hot new moves that you’ll love.”
Bad enough he’d tried humping her leg before; now it looked like he’d discovered Internet porn too. Oh. Dear. God.
Think fast, Mikaela. “You know I’d love to, but what about Flareup?” she asked.
“Huh? What about her?”
“You mean you didn’t know?” Mikaela feigned innocence, “She’s totally hot for you.”
“Heh, really?” Wheelie raised an eyebrow (the one over his blue optic) and looked at her rather skeptically, but Mikaela could hear the hopeful note in his voice. Every guy fantasized that there was a woman out there who couldn’t get enough of him.
“Oh yeah, I heard her talking to Chromia about it. She says she thinks you’re really cool and badass because you’re an ex-Decepticon. You know how chicks dig bad boys, right? And you know what else?”
“What?” Wheelie leaned closer to her, not even trying to hide his eagerness.
“I heard she’s got a thing for small guys like you,” she whispered in a conspiratory manner, “Because you’ve got fingers that can - you know - get into all sorts of places.”
Damn, I feel so dirty saying that.
“Seriously, Hot Wheels has a thing for me? Slag, and I never even knew. We coulda’ been having so much fun together!” He gave an electronic wolf-whistle.
“You know I think I saw her out in the courtyard just a few minutes ago….” Mikaela suggested.
“Oh man, if I hurry maybe I can catch up with her,” Wheelie said eagerly. He transformed into his RC truck alt-mode. “See ya, warrior goddess!”
Oh man, I’m so going to hell for this! She felt a bit guilty for siccing him on Flareup, but in a situation like this it was every woman for herself.
And now to make her getaway.
“Hey, Ratchet?”
“Yes, Mikaela Banes?”
“Are you still going to that conference in Portland?”
“Yes, I’m on the verge of leaving in fact….why?”
“Mind if I tag along? I’d like to get out of town for awhile…
