The budding romance

For Knockout it was the same old scrap just a different day. Get up, work all day then go to recharge. To most it seemed pretty boring but the one thing that kept Knockout from going insane was his new work partner. Ever since Breakdown had passed on by the hands of that spider wrech this new femme had been keeping things were less than dull. Every day Knockout could swear she would on occasion look over and giggle at him, surprisingly he didn’t seem to mind because he actually considered her to be rather pretty.

“Watcha doin Doctor?”

Now that was a frequent question she would ask and today was no different. She would peer over his shoulder, her hot breath by his audio and she purred in his presence. Knockout didn’t seem to mind which for him was unusual because if it was any other mech or femme he would shove them away threatening to slice them with his buzz saw. All in the name of his finish he would buff on a regular basis and he enjoyed that Starout never complained rather she was more than happy to help him as long as he returned the favor

Today seemed like any other day for Knockout and Starout as they sat together drinking some energon and helping with each other’s finishes. Both of them giggling at little bits of gossip they heard throughout the Nemsis.  Word today was they were running low on energon so soon someone would need to be sent out to gather some more energon to help the Decepticon cause.

“Oh dear Primus! I am glad its not us!”

Nobody should ever jinx anything and Knockout learnt that the hard way when Both Knockout and Starout were chosen to go on the mission. Well at least they were together and at least together they could complain about the heat on their finishes.

“ After we are done I am having a serious oil bath!”

Starout grumbled as they headed through the ground bridge later on that day. Now Knockout didn’t mind being out of the base, he didn’t mind running around getting energon, he didn’t mind having someone with him but what he did mind was this mission. The problem with this mission was the cave, some drones said it was unsafe and could cave in if the energon was removed incorrect.

“Right, no one remove anything incorrect or we are slagged!”

Knockout snapped at the drones. Starout by his side felt a quiver in fear go down her frame. She gulped looking up at the roof and shivering, it could fall at any second.

“D-Don’t  jinx it Knockout!”

she muttered and looked at him with fearful optics. Knockout only laughed and slapped the wall.

“Don’t worry! It’s safe you see!”  

Starout cringed as he gave the wall too many slaps and the next thing he knew the room was filled with large cracking sounds and flying rocks. Of course the first thing yelled out wasn’t about the roof caving in or talking about getting out, it was about Knockout’s finish


“AHHHHHHHHH!” that was the final scream Starout heard from Knockout as the darkness set in as the walls around them gave way.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________

Hours went by... the air was think with dust and the darkness biting at her frame. Starout was laying there with a large bolder on her unsure if she had been knocked out. It was times like this she was great she didn’t have to breathe because she would have surly died.

“ragh my finish!”

it was horrible disguising mess. Dents everywhere and large scratches across her beautiful frame. Those complaints reminded her of something Knockout would say, of course! She had to go see if Knockout was okay. Swiftly despite the horrible pain in her crushed ped she got up and called out his name

“Knockout!!”

Her cries seemed to come back and slap her in the face. Those echoes were loud and unforgiving as there was no answer.  She groaned in annoyance, she wanted to find him desperately but she could hardly move. She knew what she had to do, she grabbed her medical kit from her tools in the trunk and sat down to fix herself as quickly as possible.

“Star....out”

it was knockout, but where was he? She frantically looked around for him and then finally she found him under a rock.

“Primus Knockout! My poor handsome man!”

she quickly moved the rock away and gasped. He had a very large gash across his chest bigger than the one she had. Gently she traced along it and stroked his cheek.

“I am happy...... you are okay”

Knockout muttered weakly.Starout’s mode changing in an instant as she yelled at him very loudly for a good few minutes, Knockout didn’t argue, he just looked up at her.

“KNOCKOUT YOU FRAGGING AFT BUFFER YOU ALMOST KILLED US! WHY YOU FR-MMMM.....””

Then he grabbed her helm and pulled her down for a passionate kiss. she was hushed instantly has his lips were pressed against her. Truthfully Knockout did it just to shut her up but to his almost demise he enjoyed it.

After a few minutes they broke the kiss leaving a small strand of siliva behind and both staring in each other’s optics lustfully. Knockout might have some thank you ideas planned later but right now number one priority was to get them out alive.

“Are you hurt?”

Knockout asked and for the first time he was worried about someone else other than himself.

“No, you?”

“Peachy...”

he sighed deeply looking around at his body. At first Starout thought he was complaining about the horrible scratches but then when she took back and took a closer look she put a servo over her mouth a little horrified by what she sad. Knockout’s ped was broken, it was twisted and had a large gash mark that seeped out fresh blue energon.

“Oh knockout... you poor buff baby”

she stroked his cheek and laughed a tiny bit at how he pouted at the new nickname, she looked down at him laying there and gave him a light kiss on his cheek.  Starout knew what she had to do next and that was fix him, as she worked she stroked his cheek affectionately and kissed his wounds one by one.

“It’s a shame I forgot my buffer”

“We can worry about that after we get out”

did she hear that correctly? She Knockout just say something was more important than buffing? Something inside her sparkled at that very moment and it made her feel happy, she didn’t care what but it made her happy.

“come on Knockout I will carry you out of here”

___________________________________________________________________________________________________


Hours past and Knockout opened his optics to find himself on a medical table in his own medical bay. It felt strange to him to have the roles reversed, he scratched his helm trying to work out what had been going on, how did he get out?

“ I carried you.... the whole way”

a sweet voice answered as if she knew what his thoughts were. Knockout turned his helm to meet her lustful gaze and a soft lips against hers, their optics met during the kiss and a gentle servo across his to help him up. Knockout almost stumbled but Starout was there to catch him, it was in that moment that he knew she would be there forever for him.

“ Thank you Starout”

he muttered and was about to kiss her when he felt a light slap on his aft and a cheeky femme wiggling her hips as she went off to her quarters.

“ ohhhh... heheh wait for me sweetspark”

Knockout may have a broken ped but that was not going to stop her thank you gift along with a lustful budding romance.
