chapter 6
Prowl frowns, his visor narrowing. its obvious the ninja knows exactly what his bondmate means.
"you told? Ratchet, how could you?" Prowl hisses, glaring. Ratchet looks utterly confused.
"told what? would someone please explain whats going on?" Ratchet huffs. Bumblebee glares at his creator, arms crossed over his chestplates.
"you. told. Optimus." Bumblebee hisses.
"would you please stop saying that? you can say it all you want but I still, oh..." Ratchet trails. he glares at Bumblebee with a huff. "I did no such thing! I told you I wouldn't tell and I maybe be a lot of things, but a liar ain't one!" Ratchet glares.
"I know you told him!" Bumblebee snaps.
"oh yeah and who says I did?" Ratchet growls.
"Optimus told me!" Bumblebee growls. Prowl winces, holding his chest slightly. the ninja squirms on the berth.
"Bumblebee, take it easy. calm down a little, you're hurting Prowl." Wheeljack murmurs, walking over to Prowl quickly. Bumblebee glances at his bondmate.
"sorry Prowl." Bumblebee mumbles. Prowl waves off his worry with a wince.
"I'm angry too." Prowl grumbles, shooting a glare at Ratchet.
"look kid, I ain't told neither of the Primes anything." Ratchet assures gently.
"yeah well, then how did Optimus know?" Bumblebee asks.
"I guessed." Optimus shrugs, leaning against the medbay doorway. "it wasn't that hard." Optimus adds. the Prime suddenly yelps as Ratchet flings a wrench at him. he ducks quickly out of the medbay before it can hit him.
"YOU GLITCH!" Ratchet snaps, chasing him out of the medbay. "YOU DECIDED TO LIE AND BLAME IT ON ME!? GET BACK HERE!" Ratchet growls, picking his wrench up and throwing it at the Prime again. he chases Optimus out of the medbay.
Bumblebee huffs, before walking over to Prowl.
"I... I didn't hurt you too bad did I Prowl?" Bumblebee asks. Prowl shakes his head slightly, rubbing his chest.
"no, just, try to calm down." Prowl mumbles. Bumblebee nods slightly. "just remember, not only are you hurting me, but you're stressing the sparkling out as well." Prowl adds softly. Bumblebee nods, hugging Prowls side tightly.
"I'm sorry Prowl, I, I just forgot for a moment. I got really upset thinking the Ratchet lied to us and in the end I was wrong because it was Optimus lied, not Ratchet and I feel like an idiot now. I'm sorry." Bumblebee mumbles. Prowl shakes his head.
"no Bee, its alright. its not your fault." Prowl murmurs. Bumblebee cuddles closer and Prowl chuckles softly, scooting over some. "alright, come on up here and lay with me. its obvious you can't control yourself without me, Bee. come on." Prowl smiles slightly. Bumblebee nods, letting Prowl help him climb up. Prowl lays back, pulling Bumblebee down to lay with him. he lays his head on Prowls shoulder gently, curling up to him. Prowl wraps his arm around the smaller gently, gladly letting his bonded use him as a pillow, like he always does. Prowl gently reaches up and rubs one of the horns on the scouts head.
Prowl shifts his head back when the Medbay doors open. he watches Ratchet come storming in with his wrench, grumbling. Bumblebee curls up more.
"sorry Ratchet." Bumblebee mumbles, clinging to Prowl. Ratchet waves it off, patting Bumblebee's head gently as he walks by.
"not your fault, kid. Prime should've minded his own business." Ratchet mutters.
"yeah but I shouldn't have come screaming at you like that. I should've known you wouldn't tell the Boss Bot." Bumblebee sighs.
"its alright Bumblebee." Ratchet assures patting his side gently. he watches Bumblebee carefully help Prowl up off the berth, frowning. he turns his head when the medbay doors open again. "what the hell do you want?" Ratchet growls, staring Sentinel down.
"these two idiots have patrol." Sentinel snaps, glaring at them. "and I've been looking for them for an hour." Sentinel growls.
"I don't know if you've gone and fried your logic reasoning chip or something, but these two are clearly in my medbay! that means they're not going anywhere! don't order my patients around!" Ratchet snaps. Sentinel growls getting in Ratchets face.
"don't yell at me you stupid medbot." Sentinel growls. "you will respect your superiors." Sentinel snaps.
"leave him the hell alone." Bumblebee glares.
"shut it Bumbler before I make you." Sentinel growls.
"neither of them have patrol. neither of them can be on patrol until I release them for duty." Ratchet growls.
"they have patrol." Sentinel growls.
"they're not released for duty." Ratchet snaps.
I love you, I'm so sorry.
Bee?
blue cows, pink elephants, pickle people fighting rats.
Prowl stiffens, visor twitching, before he crashes.
"Prowl!" Bumblebee shouts. Ratchet runs over quickly.
"you shouldn't have helped him up off the berth. he needs to lay down, he has a hole in spark!" Ratchet growls. Wheeljack shoves Sentinel out of the way, and out of the medbay doors, as he rushes worriedly towards Prowl. as soon as Sentinels gone, Bumblebee relaxes and chuckles.
"don't worry, he's fine." Bumblebee assures, helping Ratchet get his bondmate up on the berth again.
"fine? FINE!? and how do you know that!? his spark could be failing!" Wheeljack cries, rushing over to the berth. Bumblebee grins sheepishly at Ratchet, who sighs after a moment, rubbing his face plates slightly.
"you didn't." Ratchet mutters. Bumblebee shrugs a little.
"didn't what?" Wheeljack asks, confused.
"blue cows." Bumblebee says. Wheeljack looks more confused.
"blue... cows?" Wheeljack asks confused. "but... thats completely illogical and- ooohhhh!!" Wheeljack grins. Prowl groans and all three look down at him.
"hey you- ow!" Bumblebee pouts when Prowl sits up and shoves him, glaring.
"yeah, how the slag do you think I feel?! you know that everytime you do that I wake up with a processor ache!" Prowl snaps. Bumblebee huffs slightly, rubbing his chest.
"no I didn't!" Bumblebee argues.
"bullshit!" Prowl snaps. Bumblebee narrows his optics, glaring.
"don't bullshit me you asshole." Bumblebee glares, shoving Prowl back. Prowl growls.
"then don't make my processor crash!" Prowl snaps. Wheeljack looks between them before looking at Ratchet worriedly. the medic is watching them intently.
"why are you such a sparkling about it!? it got Sentinel to fuck off!" BUmblebee huffs.
"I'm not a toy! if anyone here is being a sparkling about this, its you, you bugger! you always act like a sparkling about everything!" Prowl snaps. Bumblebee glares, rolling his optics.
"oh yeah, poor poor pitiful Prowl! you never got a sparkling hood and you hate everyone because of it! and you fucking hate everyone who brings up creators! you hate me because I have Ratchet!" Bumblebee shouts. the temperature in the medbay drops immediately. Wheeljack steps back nervously, when Prowl shifts on the berth. Bumblebee swallows slightly. "I.. Prowl.. I-I didn't mean-" Bumblebee tries. Prowl glares at Bumblebee.
"why the slag did I ever bond to an asshole like you?" Prowl hisses, ripping the nodes off his chest and storming out of the medbay.
"Prowl! wait! please!" Bumblebee shouts, running after him. Wheeljack looks over at Ratchet.
"have... have they ever fought like that?" Wheeljack asks. Ratchet shakes his head.
"they fight all the time, but.. Bumblebee never brings up Prowls sparkling hood." Ratchet murmurs.
"but..." Wheeljack starts, confused.
"I think its the sparkling... or the hole in Prowls spark... I don't know. I've never seen them like that." Ratchet murmurs.
Bumblebee runs to Prowls room, knocking on the door.
"Prowl? Prowl, I-I'm sorry!" BUmblebee calls from the other side of the locked door.
"go away." Prowl growls.
"but I-" Bumblebee tries.
"frag off!" Prowl snaps. Bumblebee goes quiet. "for the safety of the sparkling, frag off." Prowl snaps. Bumblebee nods to himself. he knows he's torn the bandaid off a fresh wound his sister had just reopened. Prowl needed to calm down and Bumblebee just needed to leave him alone for a bit.
"I.. I'm sorry.. just please be careful? okay Prowl?" Bumblebee asks. "Ratchets afraid tempers are high because of the sparkling and the hole in your spark...." Bumblebee calls. its silent a moment, before Prowl slams the door open. he stares at Bumblebee, the look makes Bumblebee feel like the biggest bumbler on Cybertron.
"yeas, of course, why didn't I think of that?!" Prowl snaps. Bumblee steps back nervously. "its not you being an idiot that destroyed our relationship in 3 clicks, its our unsparked sparkling and the fragging hole in my spark!" Prowl snaps, sarcastically. Bumblebee glares at him.
"how pathetic can you be? stop being like this when someone brings up family!" Bumblebee glares.
"oh you mean, like how you used to be?" Prowl growls. Bumblebee pauses. "then you found your family. or how about the way you used to think about your sparkling hood? hmm? then you find out your creator has been looking for you since you were stolen." Prowl snaps. "face it Bee, we got along way better before you found out you still had family. we got along because neither of us brought up the past, it hurt both of us, not just me. now it only hurts me." Prowl glares. "and you're just going to have to wait for me to calm down because I'm so fragging pissed at you, that I don't even want to look at you again!" Prowl snaps, slamming the door shut. Bumblebee bows his head slightly. Prowl was right.
they never brought up the past before because it hurt them both too much to discuss. now he'd become cocky because he knew he had Ratchet, Wheeljack, a sister, Prowl, and a sparkling on the way. all Prowl had was him and the sparkling. Bumblebee felt like an idiot.
why did he have to scream at Prowl?
the only real thing that bother Prowl and Bumblebee not only brought it up, he screamed it in Prowls faceplates.
Bumblebee frowns, he can hear Prowl climbing up his tree. Bumblebee bites his bottom lip, debating the thought of going after him, but sighs and turns away. he knows Prowl is angry enough already and would only get even angrier if bothered. that didn't mean he couldn't feel the absolute hurt coming from his bondeds side, despite attempts to block it.
Prowl was happy for him, but wished he too had the same. Prowl wanted his own family.
family.
Bumblebee perks up, snapping his fingers with a grin. he turns and heads down the hallway.
"Jazz!" Bumblebee calls.
Jazz pauses and looks up as Bumblebee runs over to the couch where he's sitting.
"lil Bee?" Jazz asks confused.
"Jazz! hey, I need your help." Bumblebee grins. Jazz looks confused, carefully looking over the scout to ensure he's okay.
"whats up?" Jazz asks. Bumblebee looks around quickly, before leaning closer to Jazz and lowering his voice.
"I need your help. Prowl and I got into a pretty nasty fight over family and I feel really bad because like, it was really all my fault it wasn't even Prowls fault, but I was hoping maybe you could do a little check for him like you did for me and... maybe find some family? maybe a brother or a sister? long lost twin or something...?" Bumblebee asks. Jazz stares at him a moment, before grinning.
"sure can! give me a few hours lil Bee, I'll letcha know what I find."Jazz assures, getting up. Bumblebee hugs him tightly.
"thank you so much Jazz, you don't understand what it..." Bumblebee trails, stepping away.
"hey, you okay?" Jazz asks. Bumblebee gives an uncomfortable and awkward smile, nodding slightly before turning away and heading quickly for the medbay. Jazz watches him go before heading off.
"slag." Bee hisses stumbling towards the medbay. the room spins and suddenly he's on the floor. he blinks and Prowl is grouched in front of him, looking unimpressed, absolutely drenched in purge. Bumblebee looks confused as the ninja scoops him up. "Pr-Prowl?" Bumblebee asks.
"just because I'm angry, doesn't mean I don't care about the sparkling. I'm not going to just leave you in a hallway dizzy, confused, and covered in purge until you decide you can get up." Prowl mutters. Bumblebee drops his head against Prowl.
"where are you taking me?" Bumblebee mumbles. Prowl shifts him.
"to the medbay, where Ratchet and Wheeljack will take care of you." Prowl says firmly. Bumblebee nods silently, letting Prowl carry him into the medbay. he carefully dumps Bumblebee off onto a berth and walks off.
Jazz finds him in the medbay several hours later. he doesn't look confused, he'd probably asked Prowl where to find him.
"hey, lil yellow." Jazz grins, sauntering into the medbay. Bumblebee looks over at him, before grunting and pushing himself up into a sitting position.
"Jazz? Bumblebee asks. Jazz smirks at him.
"I did it." Jazz says. Bumblebee looks confused for a moment, before realization crosses his faceplates.
"you found someone?" Bee asks. Jazz nods.
"yep! he's got an older brother. I found him, wasn't easy, but I did it. he's headed to Earth as we speak. I called him a bit ago. he'll be here shortly." Jazz grins. Bumblebee nods, attempting to push himself up off the berth.
"don't say anything to him, its supposed to be a surprise." Bee says. Jazz nods.
"don't tell who what?" Ratchet grumbles, walking over.
"Prowlers gotta brother!" Jazz grins.
"Jazz!" Bumblebee hisses. Jazz slaps a servo over his mouth quickly.
"oops." Jazz mumbles. Bumblebee sighs slightly.
"well, now you're stuck in here big mouth." Bumblebee glares. Jazz nods slightly shrugging.
"okay, thats fine with me." Jazz shrugs, plopping onto a nearby berth. Ratchet glares at him and walks over to Bumblebee.
"want some help?" Ratchet asks. Bumblebee nods and lets Ratchet help him up off the berth.
"you okay?" Jazz asks.
"just dizzy." Bumblebee mumbles, stumbling against Ratchet. the medic easily holds him up.
"oh! oh! he's here!" Jazz grins, jumping up. Bumblebee rubs his head slightly, stepping away from Ratchet after a moment. "I'll go get him, you get Prowler." Jazz grins. Bumblebee nods slightly.
"alright, he's angry, but I should be able to get him out." Bumblebee mumbles. he heads for Prowls room and knocks on the door. "Prowl?" Bumblebee calls. its silent a moment before the door slams open.
"what do you want Bumblebee?" Prowl asks.
"the sparkling wants to be close to you and I'm dizzy." Bumblebee says. Prowl sighs slightly.
"fine. come on. we'll go get you a cube." Prowl mutters.
"I didn't mean to make you hate me." Bumblebee mumbles, hugging his side. Prowl frowns, tightening his hold on the beetle.
"I don't hate you. I'm just angry." Prowl mutters. Bumblebee nods against his side, before stepping away slightly. Prowl watches him carefully, ready to catch the smaller should he stumble.
"Primus, Prowl!" a voice shouts. suddenly someone is hugging Prowl tightly. the ninja reacts as quickly as he can, breaking free, pulling Bumblebee behind him protectively, and pulling his shurikens out with a growl.
"who the slag are you!?" Prowl snaps, growling. the blue bot looks shocked, but amused.
"well, you were only a few ano-cycles old. I'm not all that surprised you don't recognize me." the bot snorts. "does Bluestreak ring a bell?" Bluestreak asks. Prowl stares at him a moment, visor narrowed in a glare.
"no." Prowl growls. he raises an optic ridge. "what, were are friends or something as sparklings?" Prowl grumbles, straightening up. he glances behind him when Bumblebee shifts. Bluestreak laughs and waves off his words.
"friends as sparklings? are you serious?" Bluestreak asks. he laughs again when Prowl simply stares at him. "its me! Bluestreak, your brother, duh!" Bluestreak laughs. Prowl blinks at him, before his visor narrows again.
"I don't have a brother." Prowl glares.
"oh come on." Bluestreak snorts.
"oh wait, I remember." Prowl says sarcastically. Bluestreak looks confused. "the brother who packed up in the middle of the night and ran off with vague promises to come back but then ended up simply abandoning me with our abusive creators and I never saw you again." Prowl snaps bitterly. Bluestreak winces slightly, rubbing the back of his neck.
"yeah... uh, about that..." Bluestreak starts.
"oh yes please, another one of the famous Bluestreak excuses, please bring it on." Prowl snaps.
"Prowl?" Bumblebee asks, hesitantly.
"no, no, hush Bee. I simply cannot wait to hear this one." Prowl snaps, crossing his arms over his chest. Bluestreak looks away, looking utterly guilty. the other Autobots clear out of the room quickly, but Bumblebee stays staring at the brothers.
"look, bro... I..." Bluestreak starts. he stops himself a moment to compose his words. "look, I'm sorry. I-I meant to come back for you.. really I did." Bluestreak says.
"then why didn't you?" Prowl snaps.
"I tried!" Bluestreak shouts.
"clearly not hard enough! I never saw you again!" Prowl growls. "what the hell stopped you from coming back to help me!?" Prowl snaps.
"they threatened to kill you if I came back." Bluestreak says. Prowl pauses, going quiet. Bluestreak looks around his shocked, stunned brother. "and who are you?" Bluestreak asks, looking Bumblebee over. Bumblebee pulls back slightly, staring at the floor.
"nobody. just the bot who ask Jazz to hurt you down and hail you so Prowl would have family too.... I thought I was doing something nice for my bondmate... but all I did was make true to my name of a bumbler once again." Bumblebee mutters, stepping away from them. he glances at Prowl. "I... I'm sorry Prowl I just..." Bumblebee mutters, looking at him tearfully. "I'm sorry." Bumblebee manages, turning and running off quickly. Prowl doesn't even glance at him, still staring at Bluestreak. Bluestreak watches him go and looks at Prowl. he opens his arms and grins.
"so.... you just gonna sit there and gawk at me or you gonna give your big bro a hug?" Bluestreak asks. Prowl stares a moment longer, before glaring at him. he turns to go after Bumblebee.
"Bee, come back." Prowl calls. he follows Bumblebee down the hall, despite the beetles attempt to get away from him. Prowl grabs hold of his bondmates servo and pulls him quickly to his chest. Bumblebee struggles with him for a moment.
"lemme go." Bumblebee manages. Prowl holds him tightly.
"after the aft head I've been to you today.... you went and hunted down a brother I'd forgotten all about. thank you." Prowl murmurs, hugging him tighter. Bumblebee clings to him, sniffling.
"you aren't mad?" Bumblebee mumbles. Prowl shakes his head.
"mad? nah." Prowl murmurs.
"but-" Bumblebee starts.
"no buts. Bee, I'm not angry or upset at you." Prowl murmurs. Bumblebee sniffles and cuddles to him.
"so.... s-so about your brother?" Bumblebee asks hesitantly. Prowl sighs and holds him tighter.
"he abandoned me. our creators got worse when he left. they were afraid he was going to tell what happened and took the fear out on me... if he hadn't left, it wouldn't have been near as bad, but he left and it was bad." Prowl murmurs. "and I hate him for it." Prowl growls.
"but.... but he said they'd kill you if he tried to come back for you...." Bumblebee mumbles, looking up at him. Prowl shakes his head.
"Bee... you don't understand. he used to lie, a lot. so he could seem like some sort of hero or something. I used to believe him... but I stopped when I was younger. I heard a lot about him, none of it was good. eventually I stopped caring and I forced him out of my processor." Prowl explains.
"I... I"m sorry Prowl. I really am. I thought I was doing something nice." Bumblebee mumbles. Prowl shakes his head.
"no Bee, its okay. I know what you were trying to do." Prowl murmurs, smiling at him.
"m'sorry it didn't work." Bumblebee mumbles. Prowl smiles at him, kissing his head.
"no it worked. I'm angry at him now. I don't have time to be angry at you." Prowl teases. Bumblebee laughs slightly, cuddling up to him. Prowl kisses his head and holds him tightly.
"so, uh, new toy bro?" Bluestreak asks. Bumblebees smile drops as they both look over at Bluestreak.
"excuse you?" Prowl snaps. Bluestreak holds up one of Prowls shurikens, the ninja growls, snatching it back."why the hell did you steal that from me?" Prowl snaps. Bumblebee cuddles to Prowl frowning.
"so, whose the bug?" Bluestreak asks. Bumblebee looks up at Prowl before snatching the shuriken from his servo. "oh what? so he can play with your toys but I can't?" Bluestreak scoffs.
and now I don't like him Prowl.
Prowl pats his head slightly.
"I like Bumblebee, I don't like you." Prowl huffs. Bluestreak raises an optic ridge.
"oh wait! I got it, he is one of our toys." Bluestreak laughs. Bumblebee glares.
"excuse you?!" Bumblebee growls.
"that is my fragging bondmate, you stupid slaghead!" Prowl snaps. "and you will not talk about him like that!" Prowl growls.
