"Ironhide what is that?" Will ask looking at Lunar. the weapons specialist looked around and spotted their sparkling.

"probably a toy." Ironhide shrugged slightly.

"yeah but it looks really small for him to be playing with." Will frowned.

"I'm sure it's something one of the human soldiers gave him. it's okay." Ironhide said.

"Lunar! don't put that in your mouth." Will said. Ironhide looked up.

"Lunar! listen to your carrier! he said no." Ironhide hissed firmly. Lunar pouted and pulled the toy from his mouth, playing with it quietly.

"I told you it was too small for him to play with." Will hissed.

"he's a sparkling. they do stupid slag." Ironhide said. Will glared and looked up.

"Lunar... where's the toy?" Will ask, walking over. Ironhide looked up at that. "let me see. where's the toy?" Will ask. the bigger mech stood up. "did you swallow it?" Will ask. Ironhide walked over quickly.

"swallowed the toy?" Ironhide ask.

"yeah it would appear so." Will glared slightly. Ironhide looked away. Will scooped him up and headed for the medbay.

"where are you going?" Ironhide ask.

"we have absolutely no idea what the frag he just swallowed. I'm taking him to Ratchet." Will said.

"you're over reacting." Ironhide said getting up and following him.

"over reacting? our sparkling has swallowed an unidentified item." Will glared at his bondmate, who was way too amused.

"he's a sparkling Will. they eat things they shouldn't." Ironhide chuckled. Will scoffed.

"if you're not going to at least pretend you're worried, fuck off." Will glared. "you probably have the same mindset as Ironhide but Lunar has swallowed an unidentified object and I'm bringing him to you." Will commed. Ratchet was quiet for moment, probably surprised by the angry com.

"on Cybertron that would be no issue, but this is not Cybertron and there are things that can't make their way through the sparkling." Ratchet replied.

"ha! you fucking idiot." Will hissed, glaring at Ironhide. he walked into the medbay, and sat Lunar down on a berth. Ironhide followed him.

"he's a sparkling Will, just like a human baby they stick slag in their mouths. it's fine." Ironhide rolled his optics.

"not entirely Ironhide. on Cybertron things were made in case a sparkling swallowed them. things are made here the same way." Ratchet replied. he grabbed a flashlight and turned it on. "open Lunar." Ratchet said. Lunar shook his head covering his mouth. "look, it's a flashlight. it doesn't hurt." Ratchet said, shining it on his servo. Lunar seemed unsure but opening his mouth anyway. Ratchet looked for any signs of what he swallowed but found none. "hmm... I don't see any pieces broken off." Ratchet said.

"yeah but what did he swallow?" Will ask.

"not sure yet." Ratchet said, laying the sparkling down to do a quick internal scan. he looked through the scan silently. "well I found the object." Ratchet muttered.

"yeah what is it?" Will ask.

"it looks like a spent bullet round. probably from a human weapon since it's so small..... it should be okay... but since it's human I can't tell you how his system will react. if he starts acting different, bring him back and Wheeljack and I will remove it." Ratchet said. Will nodded, seemingly satisfied. he scooped Lunar up and shoved him at Ironhide.

"here Mr.theres-nothing-wrong-with-him-swallowing-random-shit. you keep an eye on him." Will said and stormed off. Ratchet snickered at Ironhide.

"don't even." Ironhide grumbled, cuddling Lunar and carrying him off. Lunar whined softly cuddling to Ironhide. "I know, carrier is mad and you can feel it." Ironhide soothed gently. "Will stop it you're upsetting him." Ironhide said.

"he's upset that I'm not on the base." Will hissed. Ironhide was surprised to prob their bond and find Will off base.

"if you're so worried, why the fuck are you gone?" Ironhide ask.

"according to you, there's nothing to be worried about. Bumblebee, Sam, Barricade, and I are having a race. fuck off." Will said. he blocked his side of the bond, as though Ironhide was bothering him. the bigger man frowned and looked down at Lunar. he sighed and set him down on the rec room floor, then sitting on the couch to watch him. he frowned as Ratchet sent out an open com to no on in particular.

"hey you stupid slag heads! there is a sparkling on base! don't leave slag on the floor that he can swallow!" Ratchet hissed. "and remind the humans to pick up their amo rounds from the floor!" Ratchet added. Ironhide shook his head. they were over reacting, they all were. Lunar looked at his creator and hugged his leg.

"try not to yell over opened com. it upsets the sparkling." Ironhide warned. Lunar yawned and cuddled him. Ironhide scooped him up. "I know, it's nap time." Ironhide murmured cuddling him. Lunar curled up and cuddled is chest plate, falling into recharge. usually they'd lay him down in his room, but Ironhide was supposed to keep an optic on him.

*Will*

"thanks for letting me come for a drive with you guys. he really pissed me off earlier." Will muttered.

"its all good Will." Bumblebee replied. "Ironhide can be.... infuriating." Bumblebee added.

"yeah, but I love him, even if he's an ass." Will muttered.

"William, return to the base." Ironhide said. it was panicked and Will could feel he was nervous. he could also feel Lunar was upset and hurt. Will slammed on his breaks.

"Will?" Sam ask.

"Ironhide? whats wrong with Lunar?" Will ask.

"he's purging." Ironhide replied.

"whats purge?" Will ask.

"Cybertronian equivalent of vomiting." Bumblebee replied.

"I'm on my way." Will said. his tires spun up a wall of dust as he sped back to the base. a confused Sam and Bumblebee following behind. the smaller topkick rolled up to the base and transformed before his tires even stopped spinning running inside.

"they're in the medbay." Sideswipe frowned. Will nodded as he ran. he skid into the medbay.

"what happened?" Will ask. Lunar whimpered curled up on the berth, refusing to let Ratchet or Ironhide look him over.

"he's purging." Ratchet muttered.

"come on Lunar, let me see." Ironhide said. he was trying to be gentle with the sparkling.

"no!" Lunar cried. he sniffled curling up more. Will walked over.

"straighten up now Lunar." Will ordered. Lunar whimpered but laid flat as he was told to do. "it's that fucking bullet isn't it?" Will glared.

"it could be." Ratchet admitted. "but he should've purged it already." Ratchet muttered. Will shook his head at them.

"Cybertronian or not, he's still a baby and if it's too big or in a bad spot or even turns the wrong way, it could seriously hurt him." Will said. Ratchet nodded in agreement, scanning him gently.

"I'm not finding the bullet anymore." Ratchet muttered. Lunar whimpered and curled back up. he reached for his creator. "go a head and pick him up." Ratchet said. Ironhide scooped him up gently, shifting him. Lunar laid his head on his creators shoulder and cuddled him, the purged again. Ironhide sighed.

"really?" Ironhide muttered. Will knelt down and icked something up out of the puddle on the floor.

"found it." Will said, bullet in his fingers. Ratchet took it from him and tossed it in the trash. "go clean you two up and I'll clean up the floor." Will said. Ironhide grumbled and headed for the wash racks. Will cleaned up the floor and waited for Lunar and Ironhide. when his bonded came out, the sparkling was asleep cuddled up to him. "I believe you owe me an apology." Will smirked. Ironhide shot him a dirty look.

"shut up." Ironhide hissed. Will smirked and followed him to their room, taking Lunar gently. Lunar cuddled him gently. Will smiled and laid him down on his own berth gently. he sat on the ground beside him and watched him. Ironhide laid down quietly and muttered to himself. "are you coming?" Ironhide muttered.

"no. I'm gonna stay with Lunar for a bit." Will replied. Ironhide muttered to himself and offlined his optics, falling asleep. Will sat beside Lunar and yawned, leaning against the wall quietly, falling asleep. Lunar was okay, even if Will was being a little paranoid.
