— Jetfire and you have been together for what seems like ever. You two met in the Autobot Academy, back during Cybercity's more peaceful era and you've been together since. Your relationship lived through the war, through every trial and the numerous tribulations the current situations with the Decepticons put everyone in.

— Your relationship with him has faced some hurdles but its been nothing the two of you couldn't overcome. As the Autobot Second-in-Command, he's often times a busy mech and he's usually stationed far away from you. The Autobot forces are stretched thin across Cybertron but sometimes, very rarely, you get to team up with him.

— You two have an interesting dynamic to say the least. You make him better in a way, you make him think twice before doing something and as much as he doesn't really like to admit it. And he makes sure you don't do something stupid either, the thought of you getting hurt hurts him. So its no surprise that the two of you often argue about how things have to be done.

— However, ever since Optimus chose you along with Hotshot & Red Alert to retrieve the minicons on the planet 'Earth' before Megatron can use them as his slaves which meant you were now not just light years away from your lover but an entire galaxy away from him.

— You missed him so badly and unfortunately for Hotshot, it was him who had to hear about your yearning... it was so annoying for him! He'd see you upset, ask you what's wrong only for you to begin with "I miss him, Hotshot...". He doesn't even get why you miss him! The two of you constantly poke at each other or argue for Primus sake! He'd give out a heavy vent each time. The yellow mech wonders why he even bothers asking whenever he sees that you look upset but he doesn't want to take any chances, what if its actually something else for once?

— Hotshot is the only bot who knows about you two and Jetfire may or may not have told Prime a long, long time ago. No one else really knows the two of you are together, in fact, they think you two don't like each other at all. Mostly because of the constant back & forth quips and arguments. Its entertaining in a way but Prime often has to keep you two away from each other!

— But when Jetfire first showed up to Earth, the team & the kids noticed you were a little too happy to see him but then, the usual routine started up once again. Your natures often clash when making decisions on the behalf of the team. As the second-in-command, he usually comes up with a plan and usually, it is a bit... reckless and you immediately point it out which he isn't exactly thrilled with, at all. But its never anything too serious, he knows its just you being concerned but his ego doesn't like it when you're shooting down his plan like that!!!

— They fail to realize this is the Cybertronian equivalent of bickering like an old married couple... at least until Alexis points it out. The two of you got really flustered once she explained what 'marriage' is and the young detective has been all the more curious ever since. Rad thinks she's being kinda dumb because... there's just no way! But Carlos thinks she might be onto something... Alexis gets you, you care a lot about him so you want him to be careful. She understands and so, she suspects. I mean, you literally called him a rooster as if you were teasing him! And he wasn't as mad as she thought he would be about it... Alexis forgets that Jetfire has no idea what that is

— However, the kids threw everything out of the window soon because the arguments was made exponentially worse during the whole 'Optimus sacrificing himself' event; there were no more light-heart banter or quips, just a lot of serious talk with occasional yelling. The whole team was stressed out and honestly, the arguments almost felt felt like watching a divorce for the rest of the team. It did not help with the morale of the team, Hotshot was pretty much thrust into being leader for a short while with Jetfire and you as advisors.

There's a strong silence between you and Jetfire, you two don't have much to day to each other after the latest argument. Its new, to be without Prime, to not have to rely on him for a solid plan... Especially to have Hot Shot as leader. (You would've never guessed in a million years)

But the two of you can't keep the silence for long, its against your natures. You two are consistently always on each other, your pedes repeatedly tapping against the floor does nothing to help— You're as anxious as he is about the current situation, Jetfire knows.

He can tell you really want to say something. Badly.

Jetfire's vents suck in air and sighs. He knows you're deep in conflict. After that arguement, you probably don't want to talk to talk to him and he gets it but he also knows that you love him... a lot. You'retrying your hardest to give him the silent treatment here.

Jetfire thinks you might explode from your indecisiveness.

"So..." He starts, deciding to initiate a conversation with you and save you the trouble of deciding.

"Don't talk to me." It's sharp, its almost cold. Definitely upset. You shot him down quicker than you do his ideas. It throws him off and he peers down to look at you, your optics fixated the floor as you're sit right next to him. It's not very much like you. Jetfire realizes he might have misread your anxiousness and his plating tightens, its like choosing the wrong dialogue in a RPG except this has very real and very serious consequences. Your voice is quieter.

This is a serious situation, he realizes. Jetfire forces his plating to relax. But even then, he can't help but feel a little bit frustrated at your words.

Don't talk to him? You're sitting right next to him! You literally came here yourself and sat right next to him! You chose to come here and sit with him, knowing he was here! You can't make this stuff up... You're clearly very upset with him, more than he thought.

"Well, then... Why'd you come sit next to me?" He cross his servos over his chassis, the golden glow of his optics focused intently onto you like a laser pointer.

"I can sit where I want to." You retort, meet his gaze as you straighten your posture to say that you mean business, imatating the way he's got his servos crossed. The anxiousness is gone... at least. But you're still upset and your answer just makes his optics narrow to look at you, he knows you're just lying. You're torn apart between wanting to talk to him & staying upset at him.

"Alright then. I'll just go sit elsewhere." He says casually as he's about to go, he catches the way your expression shifts as he rises up from the corner of his optics. The way you frown, the way you tense up for a moment. Your servo instinctively reaches out and holds onto his wrist.

Frag, why did you have to be so cute...?

Jetfire freezes for a moment but doesn't dare to move, he waits. He waits for you to say what you want. He might not be very patient usually but he can try to be, for you at least.

"Sit back down." You say, its almost like a command. Of course it would be— You don't really want to say that you enjoy his company and his inviting EM field when you're upset with him. But he obeys, just for you. He sits back down where he was without saying another word, like he was yours to command.

You don't really say anything and you don't need to but you don't let go of his wrist either. Rather, you cling onto his servo. Your face hiding itself in his shoulder, you pull yourself closer to him. Supporting your weight onto him as both your servos hold his arm tightly.

Jetifire doesn't mind this at all. He's a more than willing participant. If anything, he encourages this. He's known for a while now that you must be feeling needy for his affection & attention considering the two of you are usually always apart— And honestly, he is just as needy as you are which is probably why he doesn't take anything you say to the spark, you're just concerned. You're just looking out for him.

He just hopes you see it the same way too.

His helm goes on to perch itself on top of your helm, his servo slowly making its way to your face and soon, his digits stroke your faceplating with reverance.

What's he gonna do with y-

"YOU WERE RIGHT!?"

The two of you are startled and your optics dart immediately to the source of the noise; a very shocked Rad & Carlos alongside a somewhat snug Alexis.

Oh no.

The two of immediately grow flustered, the embarrassment apparent in both of your EM fields as you quickly pull away from each other. Scrambling to look less... intimate but the affection of that moment could never be mistaken, even by human children. They weren't stupid.

"Oh no! Don't worry! We won't spoil your moment." Alexis says with a wide smile as she drags away the other two before they could ask questions.

Once they're out of sight, Jetfire turns to look at you and the face you've got on makes him laugh out loud, his embarrassment subsiding for now. Thank goodness he's got a faceguard otherwise-

"OW!" You punch his shoulder, being mindful to not use too much force. Your face has turned sour now, pity. Your optical ridges furrowed and optics narrowed, a frown on your face.

"Oh, don't look at me like that... It was funny."
