Knockout and Breakdown were enjoying a nice evening together on an Earth drive. Breakdown had never actually taken the time to relax and feel the curves of the road on his tires as it took them to whatever lied ahead. Around this time of year the trees surrounding them were normally a repetitive green, but now they were all sorts of radiant colors like yellow, orange, and red. The tinge of crimson reminded him of the brilliantly polished color of Knockout's armor. He had to admit that this planet had it's own paradises. The golden sunrise and the morning dew made everything sparkle like a fantasy.

Following behind Knockout, he found himself staring into the reflections of the beauty around his partner's car form. He didn't love the thrill of driving as much as Knockout, but he still enjoyed the time they spent together no matter what they did.

As they peered around a sharp corner, the hot rod was surprised by an accumulation of leaves that were sprayed across the road. Knockout shrieked when he hit the patch that sent them flying up in his windshield. He skidded off the road making Breakdown gasp out of concern. The armored vehicle chased after the blinded sports car who transformed after driving off the road.

"Knockout!", Breakdown called out in a hurry to assist the panicked Decepticon. Knockout had landed in a pile of leaves that trailed off the road they were just on. The red med stood up trying to shake off all the leaves caught onto him by the moist environment.

"Ah! Scrap! It's all in my grills and everything!", Knockout complained. Breakdown stopped and watched the distressed medic as he struggled to brush away the leaves. He couldn't help but laugh at his displeasure. Knockout shot his gaze at his hearty laugh. I guess he couldn't blame him for being amused. He let out a silent huff in the fracture of his conceited appearance. 

"Yea yea, let it out", he exaggerated. Breakdown slapped his servo on his knee plate as he hunched over, holding his gut.

"Sorry KO..pfft...it's just that....the leaves blend into you so well", he smiled trying not to laugh anymore. The medic let out an aggravated groan.

"C'mon big B, this is no time to fickle over my contaminated armor. Cant you see there's dirt all over these leaves?", he fret as he picked off a leaf from his chassis and flicked it away. Breakdown stepped closer, helping him get them off. Knockout smiled at the mech's gentle touch. He peeled them off delicately trying not to dirty up the recently buffed finish. He appreciated Breakdown's effort to care for him despite his narcissistic behaviors. 

Breakdown held one of the leaves in his servo, inspecting it in front of him. It had a brilliant red coloration. His face lit up in a calming matter.

"It looks just like you", he smiled, glancing into Knockout's similar colored optics. Knockout looked at the leaf that the mech was twirling around with his digits. The color did remind the medic of himself. He took it as a compliment. His faceplate was starting to match up with the leaf.

Knockout leaned towards his lover, planting a gentle kiss on the side of his face. Breakdown dropped the leaf in his servo out of surprise. He let out a satisfied hum and kissed him back. He caressed his servos along Knockout's jawline and cheek. He pulled away, lost into those lavishing optics of the medic.

"Don't worry hot shot, these leaves aren't as pretty as you", Breakdown smiled against the warm dermas he was pressed on. Knockout melted into the kisses, forgetting about all the leaves that remained on him. He was pulled in by his partner's thick arms, feeling the heat of his body and the steady beat of his spark. He continued to claim what belonged to him.
