This is for CricketLuver

Also, having just realised this, some of you readers might not be familiar with some of the terms I use. So here is a little list to help.
Y/n= your name
F/c= favorite color
P/c= primary color (of your body)
S/c= secondary color (of your body)
O/c= optic(eye) color

Y/N'S POV
"Y/N! Come see what 5t3v3 found, it must be the relic that Megatron sent us for!" Breakdown's exited voice echoes through your com, and with a sigh, you turn to head towards the navy wrecker inside
of the mine.

'I hate tunnels..I should be out there with the wind against my windshield as I beat the other squishies in another race..not down here playing in the tunnels'
Passing by a couple vehicons, you hear snickers from the black and
purple cons.

"What's so funny? Huh?! Do you want to be thrown off the Nemesis during your next break?!" Lifting your helm, you quicken your pace after threatening the idiotic cons.

'If only it were that easy'

Reaching Breakdown in another tunnel, your optics brighten at the dull black relic resting in Breakdown's servos.

"It's beautiful! With a little cleanup, even Knockout might be jealous of the shine!" Gently taking the relic, you step back.
With a smile on your face at the thought of the Decepticon medic, you com Megatron. Waiting a moment before speaking you plan your next words carefully.

"We have found the relic. Shall I take it to Knockout so we can find out what it does my lord?"

"Yes. And do it quickly or face punishment."
A shiver runs down your backstruts at the thought.

"As you wish my lord"
Nodding to Breakdown and terminating the com link, you transform into a (vehicle of your choice). The relic sits in the front seat as you speed down the tunnels into the sunlight.

Requesting a groundbridge from Soundwave, you wait somewhat impatiently as the time tics by.

'As long as the Autobots don't show up everyhing should be-' the sound of a groundbridge opening in front of you cuts off your trail of thoughts, and, hoping for the best, you drive through the bluish green bridge.

Familiar black and purple walls and floors greet your vision, and you sigh in relief as you speed towards Knockout's med bay.
The door automatically opens for you as it reconises your form, and you transform back into your natural form holding the relic in your servo.

"Knockout? You here?"
No answer.

'I supose I can start testing by myself then'

A smile spreads on your faceplate at the thought of an experiment, and you place the relic on your desk in the corner.

'Time to have some fun'

SMALL TIMESKIP
"WHY WON'T YOU DO ANYTHING?! WORK ALREADY!" With a yell of frustration, you smack the table harshly, knocking off the relic off in the process.

With a grumble of annoyance, you lean down to grab it, only for a blue light to shoot out of it and run over your form.

"What in the pits was that?!" Stepping closer, you pick it up slowly and turn it around searching for the button or switch that activated it.

"Y/n! Sorry I'm late, i was winning another race. Why weren't you there too doll? You usually are." Knockout walks into the med bay babbling about the race and in surprise, you drop the relic onto the berth for wounded soldiers.

The same blue light shoots out to scan Knockout's shiny red form, and he jumps back with a femmish yelp.

"WHAT IN THE PITS IS GOING ON?" His voice is high in confusion as he hesitantly steps forwards to look at the relic.

"That happened to me too. But i didn't feel any different afterwards so I dont think that we have to worry."

"Well then in that case, lets run some more tests shall we? Dear doctor wants to have some fun." The combination of Knockout's smirk and laugh sends a blue blush rocketing to your faceplates.

"Actually KO, I think I'm to go recharge for the night. And I need to clean up too. I'm still dusty from the mines." Looking down slightly, you turn toward the doorway into the hallway.

"Oh alright. Well, rest well, and come back in the morning so we can do more experiments."
Walking into the hall, you head towards your berthroom.

"Hey Y/n! You going to recharge?" Your friend, Wasp bounces up beside you. She always was a bit more energetic than the usual Decepticon...

"Yeah. I'm going to be working with KO on experiments tomorow so I'll need the rest." You sigh as you picture the cherry red mech in your processor. But was it a happy sigh, a sad sigh, or something else?
Reaching your berthroom, you bid Wasp farewell as the door shuts behind you. Sitting on your berth, you lay back and offline your optics, ready to shut down to recharge for the earth night.

But something didn't feel right.
As the humans would say, a gut feeling that something was wrong.
You ignore the feeling as you enter stasis, and your senses fade away.

Knockout's POV
'I thought my ceiling was white not f/c..?' Sitting up, I let out a startled screech as I see my form in a mirror actoss from the cold berth that I'm laying on.

"Y/N?! Tell me that this is just a weird nightmare! Oh my primus she is so filthy and scratched up where does she keep a buffer and she needs an oil bath right away!"

Leaping up from the berth, I awkwardly run to my med bay, praying that no one I know would see me.

'Y/n's frame is much faster to run with.. and very aerodynamic as
well I suppose.'

"KNOCKOUT?!?" A panicked scream comes from my berthroom attached to the med bay, and as I rush in, I see my own shiny and beautiful form steping into the light of the med bay.

"Y/n!? Is that you?"

"Who else would it be?? Oh and I might as well ask, KO why must you have so many mirrors in there?"

"...because I like to see every inch of my perfectness at all times..."

SMALL TIMESKIP
"So. The relic switched your bodies. How soon until this is fixed?" Y/n and I kneel in front of Megatron as we try to explain what happened.

"Very soon my lord. It should take no longer than one to two earth weeks." Beside me, I see my gorgeous red eyes widen at Y/n's surprised outrage.

"Yes my lord," she ground out while looking to me. "meerly one to two earth weeks. We will reverse it as soon as possible."

"Very well. You are dismissed."
Rising to our peds, we quickly leave the bridge.

"Two earth weeks?!" Y/n pins my now smaller chassy against a wall with her now much larger servos. "I can't be you for that long! We need to fix this now!"

"Why do serious?"
With a wince, I struggle against Y/n, careful to not scratch my beautiful cherry red finish.

"Ok sorry. That was the wrong thing to say. Also, I can't fix it that fast. I have to figure out how this happened first. Then I can fix it."

"Sorry, and fine." Y/n drops me and I barely land on my peds. "But please be fast."

Y/N'S POV
It has been two days of our body switch. And Knockout has been keeping your chassy extraordinarily clean and shiny as he works on a reverse to the body switch.

While you lay on the berth in his berthroom bored out of your processor, he works on the relic.

"Are you sure I can't help? I have nothing else to do.." sighing, the now P/c and S/c mech-femme turns to you.

"I'm quite positive doll. Just hang tight, it'll be fixed in no time."

TIMESKIP
It has officially been one earth week since you have been stuck in your Medic's body, and by now, Knockout had locked you in his berth with a voice code to get in or out. But hey, it's not fault that you got bored and tried to go for a drive. Who knew that the spotless Decepticon medic would hate the thought of you ruining his finish by going out for a spin on the dirt track? (I'm laying on the sarcasm thicker than nutella on toast)

Flopping back down on your backstruts on the cold floor, you look around the mirrored room.

'Wait..that mirror looks like it's been moved recently..?' Rolling to your peds, you slowly walk over to the askew mirror. Lifting the mirror quietly, you turn to lay it on the floor. Swiveling back around, you gasp at what is pinned to the wall. It's a picture of you and Knockout, from your first day working with him. There's a smile on both of your faces, and his arm is gracefully flung over your shoulder as you laugh at something he said.

'This must have been taken in secret by someone else.. but who?'
Unpinning the photo, you turn it over to see neat handwriting that you reconise to belong to the cherry red mech.

~someday I'll tell you that I love you. But until then, never stop smiling~

"Oh my primus..."

A faint sound, like a hum, distracts you from your find, and before you know it, there's a flash of blue light and you're standing in front of the relic. Knockout no where to be seen.

Knockout's POV
'It worked!! But wait. Why am i holding this? Didn't I hid this? Oh no! That means Y/n saw this! I have to come up with an excuse fast!'

Shoving the photo and mirror back in place, I straighten my form before speaking the access code to leave my berthroom.

"Y/n! I can expain!" The moment my optics meet her bright O/c optics, my exuse turns to mush in my processor.
A smile stretches across her faceplates and she slowly walks towards me from where she was standing at thd desk.

"No need hotshot." My optics widen as she stops in front of me and looks up to meet them.

"I already read it. And I must say, I'm much happier that it's you and not Screamer or Megatron."

'Wait.. she's not mad?'

"So wait.. doesthismeanyou'renotgoingtokillme andmaybegivemeachance?" Stumbling over my words, i mentally slap myself.

'Great job Knockout. Seduce her with your stuttering and nervousness. Way to go.'

Y/N'S POV
Taking a deep intake to prevent your fans from turning on, you take one more step forwards to wrap your arms around Knockout's mid-chassy.
You can feel his cooling fans kick on as he leans down slightly to hesitantly wrap his own arms around you tightly.

"Yes. Yes i will."
