^^Artwork is still not mine.^^
Also, is it strange that I see Ultra Magnus as Smokescreen's father figure? Like an adoptive Sire.

Your Pov
The sun is shining brightly overhead. Clouds pass by, unaffected by the battle raging below.

You duck under a blast from a Vehicon and shoot back towards him with your own blaster.

:This is Y/n requesting a groundbridge or backup. There's too many cons and Arcee is down.

Panic fills your voice as you stand over your teammate and continue firing. But for every con down, three more seem to appear.

"Y/n.. just leave me and get out of here. There's too many of them."
Arcee speaks raggedly while holding her servos over the gash in her side.

"Shut your intake. I'm not leaving you."

The familiar sound of a ground bridge is heard behind you,

"Oh thank Primus." A relieved sigh leaves your dermas as the wreaking crew barrels through.

Wheeljack and Bulkhead head straight into the fray, while Ultra Magnus fights his way over to you and 'Cee.

The numbers of Vehicons slowly start to go down, and Magnus manages to make his way over to you and Arcee.

"Come." His deep voice is calming as the last couple Vehicons flee, and he leads the wreakers and you through an opening groundbridge.

Guilt weighs heavily on your spark, and when Jack sees Arcee's state, his expression turns to fear.

"RATCHET!"
.

The night wind is cold as you sit with your legs curled under you, and a datapad in servo.

With a yawn, you stretch your arms over your helm, and lay back on your backstrut.

I'm so sorry 'Cee..

A sigh escapes you as you think to right before the battle.

"Come on Cee! There's no cons here! It's safe!" Your voice rang out with a laugh as you ran into the mine.

The blue and pink bot sighed, but a smile was on her faceplates as she started warily towards the tunnel.

"NEVERMIND! ABORT MISSION!" Your playful voiced turned to a scream as you were flung out of the mine by a Vehicon.

More Vehicons started appearing from the mine, and within second, you were surrounded.

Shaking your helm, you attempt to clear the thoughts of before the battle from your helm.

I'm sorry Arcee..

Ultra Magnus's Pov
A groan is heard as the blue femme regains consciousness, and Ratchet and I snap to attention.

"Arcee. You took quite a hit. How are you feeling?" I immediately rise to my pedes, and Raf looks over from the Cybertronian sized table he works on.

"Ah ah ah! Sit back down. You need to rest." Ratchet gently pushes Arcee back onto the berth and she glares at him.

"Is Y/n ok? Where is she?"
Her worried tone make Rafael give her another funny look.

"Try the roof."

Arcee turns to me, and nods once.
"You heard him. Go to the roof and comfort her. If I know her, she's probably blaming herself for this. So go make her feel better."

Blue spreads to my faceplates.
"You... you want me to what?" I stutter, and inwardly curse myself.

"Well, start with hugs. And wait why the blush and stutter hmm?" Arcee leans forwards with a smirk.

"With what?" My processor is in overload as I think over the beautiful f/c femme.

"A hug, you know, wrapping your arms around a person to comfort them." 'Cee looks at me as if I'm an absolute idiot and a groan leaves my dermas before I can stop it.

"Oh stop acting like a sparkling and go!"
Ratchet shoves me out of the med bay, and with a sigh, I head towards the roof.

"Y/n?" I whisper as I see a shape laying still on the roof.

Moving closer, I realise that it is indeed the f/c femme, and she is deep in a peaceful recharge.
Though with a closer look, I see the coolant stains running down her faceplate and her servos curled into balls.

With a sigh, I sit next to her and look up at the stars.
One of my servo's find one of hers, and I hold it gently, as though it could shatter if not treated carefully.

I carefully lean back until I'm laying next to her. And my gaze flits from the stars to her, then back to the stars again.

A quiet whimper escapes Y/n's dermas as she rolls over, curling into my side, and I freeze in alarm.

I was never taught what to do if this happened?!

Surprise and a bit of fear overtakes my system, and I'm frozen as one of Y/n's arms reach across me and her servo holds onto my other side. Keeping close to me.

"Magnus..." She yawns tiredly and her glowing e/c optics flick to mine.

"Y/n.. I came to.. to check on you!" I manage to find my words as I gaze into her beautiful optics, and her half-asleep smile graces her faceplates.

"Shush and let me have this boss bot." She lays her shiny f/c helm on my chest, and I hesitantly wrap my arms around her. A new, warm feeling bubbling up from my spark.

"Are you sure?" My hopeful question seems louder than planned as it's met with silence, and I look down at Y/n, only to realise she's already fallen back into recharge with a smile still on her lip components.

Wih a smile of my own, I rest my helm against the roof and dim my optics.

Maybe a quick nap...
