Megatron's twin

67:Loss of Dignity

I woke up feeling the need to purge but couldn't be bothered to get up. However, I took a glance around. Where the frag was I? I looked around and noticed I was on a berth with Optimus next to me, he was awake and staring at me.

"Um, hi?" I said awkwardly, "How did I get here?" I asked.

"I have no idea." Optimus said, "I woke up and you were there." He said then blinked, he still seemed to be registering the situation.

"I think I had high grade." I muttered and fell back on the berth. "Where's Egg?" I asked.

"She wanted to recharge on Ratchet." He said as I shuffled. My aft feels weird. Optimus slowly sat up, now sitting the edge of the berth.

Suddenly I felt my faceplate get hot, it would be harder to see my blush right? With half my faceplate gone?

Optimus was full on blue in the face.

"You're gonna pop a cable if you keep blushing like that." I told him and he quickly turned away. "Heh," I laughed and sat up. "Whoo, my aft feels weird." I muttered.

"You know what? I think you did this on purpose." Optimus accused, poking me with a didgit.

"Then I am a genius." I mumbled.

Suddenly the door opened.

"Quick hide." Optimus whisper shouted.

"I'm not the Flash!" I argued and Alpha Trion stepped in. He didn't look remotely surprised.

"You don't remember much do you?" He asked me, grinning. I nodded.

"Well, you came in and said Optimus needed a goodnight kiss." He grinned, "Just so you don't start accusing him." He added to Optimus while I tried to hide my blush. Suddenly his smile fell into a frown. "And I'm disappointed in you." He said, pointing a digit at Optimus.

"Why?" He said, slightly fearful.

"You snuck out after I grounded you." He explained.

Optimus thought on it for a bit. "That was centuries ago!" He argued as Alphy left. Then he turned to glare at me.

"You gonna thank me for the goodnight kiss?" I asked, now it was his turn to be embarrassed.

Then the spark bond opened up. Where are you? Megatron said, argh it was like I'm a bad sparkling or something.

Sitting in Optimus' berth, you? I told him, then I realized what I said.

Looking for you-WHAT? He screamed and I cut him off. You know what, I'm just gonna say that that was a harmless prank.

"What is wrong?" Optimus asked.

"Huh?"

"You look like you just wet yourself." Optimus said and I looked down, just in case I had.

"I may of, accidently, told Megatron that I am sitting in your berth." I said and twiddled with my digits nervously.

He blinked, "That... Is your problem." He said, he was exhausted already. It was only morning!

"I'm just gonna say that it was a prank, later." I said, "Once he cooled down." I added, I could feeling him steaming through the sparkbond.

Hey! Egg greeted.

Hi.

Your emotions were on a roller-coaster last night. She said with amusement.

I had high grade.

Nice, what did you do? She asked.

Kiss Optimus goodnight. I said, somewhat proudly.

About time, I thought your relationship came to a stand-still. She said just before I cut her off. I'm not dealing with that right now.

"I need to purge." I told Optimus.

He looked at me.

"I don't know where the Washracks are." I told him and he helped me up from the berth. "My aft feels weird." I said.

"I know, you already said that." He said and started leading me, slowly, to the Washracks. We made it just in time, I leaned over and emptied my tanks.

Optimus listened in. "You really need to stop drinking." He said, full of concern, "It's not healthy." He added.

"I don't hear you telling Megatron off for taking dark energon." I argued.

"No one does."

"I did."

"How did that go?" He asked.

"We had to bury him." I reminded him after another purge. "All done, I feel empty!" I paused as I came out, "I think there's something in my aft." I said.

"Then go see Ratchet." He huffed.

"Why are you so moody? I feel great! I woke up next to someone I like and normally, that means that the deed was fulfilled beforehand." I grinned. "And I don't want Ratchet looking up my aft." I said.

"It just came as a surprise." Optimus said.

"Same here."

"Alright, how about I give you a hug and you forgive me." He smiled nervously.

I hugged him and he hugged back. "I forgive you." I said.

"Thank Primus." I heard him mutter, "Should we get some energon?" He asked and I nodded.

"I wanna scan my aft though." I added as we walked to the storage room and snatched a cube.

"I don't think Ratchet would like you touching his equipment." Optimus said as I sipped on a cube.

We headed up to the main room, Ratchet was there along with Ultra Magnus, Alpha Trion and Miko. They all looked at me strangely except for Alphy.

"When did you get here?" Miko asked and Optimus stiffened beside me.

"Last night." I said and headed into the medbay and looked around.

"What are you doing?" Ratchet asked as Maggie and Alphy watched.

"Looking for a scanner." I told him, "Where-"

"Why?" He narrowed his optics.

"I want to check something." I told him, "I had high grade and I'm not sure what I did." I elaborated.

Ratchet grabbed the scanner and gestured me further into the medbay, for more privacy. "Where?" He asked.

"Aft." I said stiffly.

Ratchet looked at me with a 'are you kidding me' look. "Why am I surprised?" He asked himself as he scanned, then scoffed. "You have part of a pole up there." He said.

"Why would that be there?" I asked.

"No idea- You had high grade, I've found worse there." Ratchet said, "Get on the berth." He said and I sat down. "On your front." He growled.

I did so.

I thought medics were supposed to relieve you of pain!
