Primus, it wasn't supposed to feel this good. Jazz let his eyes slide shut, pulling Barricade closer. He really shouldn't be enjoying this, but he was. The feel of Barricade's lips on his own, the calloused hand in his hair, the way Barricade's other hand traveled down his back, Barricade's feral moan as Jazz deepened the kiss...
Jazz pulled away suddenly. He smirked at Barricade's growl and the lust filling his eyes. “Later. We both have work to do-”
“Slag that,” Barricade muttered, pulling Jazz up. Jazz shoved him away again.
“Go do your tests. I'll see you afterwards.”
The Decepticon leaned forward to nuzzle Jazz's neck, warm breath tickling his collar. “My quarters, after your shift. We won't be interrupted.”
Good, Jazz thought to Barricade's back as he walked away.

“Getting awful c-cuddly, Barric-c-cade?” Frenzy asked snidely, not looking up from his station.
“Mind your own business.” Barricade flopped in the pilot's chair.
“Oh, somebody sounds frustrated.” The thin young man gave Barricade a decidedly sharp-toothed grin.
Barricade ignored him, flipping a few switches. “Is Blackout done rewiring the stabilizers?”
Frenzy just sniggered
Barricade made a vexed noise, starting up the diagnostic programs.
Frenzy smirked at him. “Frustrated and j-jealous, eh?”
“Oh, shove it.”

Strong arms wrapped around Bee's middle. He leaned back against Blackout, letting his head rest on his lover's chest. He smiled to himself. My lover. Mine. Primus, Blackout, I love you so much... I know you feel the same way, even if it's hard for you to say. He closed his eyes, feeling Blackout's mouth on his neck.
“Blackout, stop for a moment,” he murmured.
The chopper pilot paused. “Do I have to?”
“Yes.” Bee twisted around to face Blackout. “We need to talk.
Blackout gave him a rueful smile. “Conversations that start with those words are never good.”
“Hush, you.” Bee smacked him playfully on the chest. “Seriously, we need to talk.” He looked up into Blackout's dark eyes. “I want you to come with us, to join the Auto-”
Blackout's hand clamped over Bee's mouth. He gave a nervous glance around the room, then dragged Bee down the entrance ramp and outside. He just shook his head when Bee opened his mouth to ask where they were going.
They stopped under the trees. “You can't say things like that.” Blackout's voice was a strained whisper.
“I'm serious, Blackout. You hate them!”
He touched Bee's face gently. “You can't say things like that, Bee,” he repeated, quieter. “If anyone overheard, they'd kill us both.” Blackout looked away, shoulders slumped. “And I don't want to see you hurt.”
Bee's expression softened. “Don't worry about me. I know it's a risk, but things will be better once we get you away from them. I promise.”
Head down, Blackout was silent for a long moment. “Alright," he murmured finally. "I'll try."
Bee wrapped his arms back around his lover and pulled Blackout closer, smiling up at him.

“Much more of this sickeningly sweet lovey crap and I swear I'm going to snap,” Blackout growled.
Megatron didn't bother looking up from his dinner. “It was your idea to begin with,” he pointed out calmly.
“I know,” Blackout grumbled, dropping into his chair. “But as pretty as that sweet little thing is, I can't wait until we can dump them all out an airlock. Or better yet, shove them out the cargo bay doors at twenty-thousand feet. Wheeee... splat.”
His commander smirked into his drink. “I promised Prime a truce until we reached the colony, and we will keep to that promise. No matter how entertaining the alternative is.”
“Technically, we'd be in atmosphere,” Blackout pointed out with a grin. “So we'd be sorta at the colony, in a general manner of speaking. And we could even dump them directly over the colony itself, just as an added courtesy. They'd even be in the town before they impacted.”
Megatron looked thoughtful for a moment. “I have a better idea...”
