[Sorry! I'm busy with COD! xxx] Blitzwing stared at the message in complete confusion and utter disbelief. This was what- the eighth time? That Bumblebee had said that when he wanted to talk or meet up. Bumblebee had been so busy with what he called COD which he could only assume was that organic fish species or whatever Bumblee was referring to. But why a fish? Is there something so special about it he skips meeting up with him?
Blitzwing stared at the screen longer before turning it off and throwing it on the nightstand. Suddenly an idea popped into his helm. Humans knew about earth stuff. So perhaps the little organic captive Professor Sumdac he believed to be his name would know something about it. Dragging his body up from the berth he was currently on, he headed out to find the organic. He had his ideas of where Sumdac could be, the organic was a scientist after all. So the first logical place Blitzwing checked was the lab. Sure enough, Professor Sumdac was there busy fiddling with whatever Megatron had ordered him to do.
Despite Blitzwing being huge and his steps loud the organic seemed to be so concentrated on his work he didn't hear those loud footsteps that had approached and stepped inside the lab. Should he feel insulted? Blitzwing wasn't sure and at the moment it didn't matter. " Human organic. " The tiny human almost jumped from the sudden surprise, finally noting the presence of the large figure. " B-Blitzwing? D-Did Megatron send you to tell me something?"
clearly, the small figure was nervous and probably scared of what was to come.
" You have a daughter, correct? Have you perhaps heard her mention something called 'COD'? C-O-D, all capital letters "
The human blinked, this was not something he expected, but hesitantly he nodded " I-I do have a daughter. She likes video games. I th-think she did mention something like that once- I think it's a video game. I don't e-exactly remember, but it was short for 'Call of -' something."
Blitzwing stayed silently processing what he heard. " That's all I needed. ". And thus began the trip back to his room, because now he had somewhere to start with. Blitzwing made a mental note to smack the smaller bot if it really was a video game keeping him from coming.
He grabbed his datapad and opened a human search engine called 'Google'. He typed 'cod' into the browser and all that came up was that organic fish. Oh. Right. it's all capital. Blitzwing erased it and was about to type the same thing out again, except in all capital letters. He was about to press the search button until someone came barreling into his room. Blitzwing almost ended up dropping the datapad and the oh-so-ever annoying voice of Lugnut rung through his audials. " Blitzwing! Our ever-incredible Lord Megatron requested you to be on duty tonight!".
there was the sound of a slight whirr as a familiar blazing red visor came into view " Frag off Lugnut! You could have messaged me, not come barging into my room like you got a pipe stuck up your aft! " Blitzwing shouted, really wanting to throw that idiot off the highest mountain possible.
Lugnut seemed quite displeased at Blitzwing's seemingly childish behavior " I only came to relay the order from Megatron. No need to throw a tantrum like a sparkling!".
" Well, you told me what he wanted! Now get out of my room!" Blitzwing hissed and to his fortune, Lugnut did just that.
Finally, he was alone again. turning his attention back to it. getting a sudden idea he changed the text in the search bar ' What does COD stand for' and pressed the search button. Immediately a big text at the very start of the page popped up ' COD for short stands for Call-Of-Duty. The game contains violence and is explicit. Not recommended for kids ages of- '. He could've kept reading what it was saying, but he got the confirmation he needed and wasn't about to waste his time reading something useless. Now he had to coax Bumblebee out of the base. Fortunately, luck was on his side as the teammates of a certain yellow mini-bot also got annoyed about how much of his time he spent gaming and had confiscated it whether Bumblebee liked it or not. So getting the mini-bot to agree to meet was an easy task. There was still an hour or so to go, but Blitzwing didn't complain. However, a certain hyperactive yellow bot made the lives of his teammates hell.
The time to head out came faster than expected and Blitzwing soon found himself flying through the air and Bumblebee with the same idea was racing through the city, having barely been able to avoid getting caught sneaking out in the first place.
Obviously, Blitzwing should be arriving first, but the location is closer to the Autobot, so Bumblebee despite the speed difference usually got there first.
Tonight was no different as Bumblebee was already there waiting. Bumblebee spent the time waiting by kicking around a rock. It wasn't long until he heard the faint sound of a familiar jet getting louder. Bumblebee knew the sound of that engine with his spark. Looking up in the direction the sound was coming from, it wasn't long before Blitzwing transformed and landed on the ground with a loud 'thud'. Bumblebee raced over to his partner with a beaming smile. However, the next thing he saw was the familiar red visor and the yell of a Decepticon ready to shove a stick up his exhaust pipe.
'uh-ohhhhh I'm in trouble aren't I' were the obvious thoughts present, but despite he didn't give a flying frag.
"What's up, Blitzbrain?"
" Don't Blitzbrain me, you puny autobot!"
Bumblebee was forced to hold back a laugh threatening to escape from his lips.
" Sooooooo...What's got you so worked up, big guy?"
All that did was rile Blitzwing up as Bumblebee soon had his vision full of Blitzwings face, " Worked up? Worked up!? You've been ignoring me for eight days straight telling me you're busy with 'COD'! I thought you were hanging with a fish until I found it was a video game!"
Bumblebee made a straight face "You thought-" Bumblebee being Bumblebee howled with laughter "YOU THOUGHT I WAS HANGING WITH A FISH?!"
"Shut it, insect! That's not the point. Couldn't you drop the game for even a few hours to spend time with me or are you suddenly planning on marrying a video game?" Blitzwing inquired angrily, but that only earned a sheepish grin from Bumblebee " Well, I'm here now, aren't I?".
The same familiar whirr of switching faceplates was heard as Bumblebee was now staring at a pale-looking, light blue faceplate.
" you're unbelievable. " was all Blitzwing muttered before getting himself comfortable on the ground with a tree to lean against.
"Come onnnnn, I didn't mean to get so caught up in the game!" Bumblebee made his way over to Blitzwings sitting form, "Besides, Boss Bot took the game away from me and I doubt he'll actually ever give it back to me.".
That only earned a snort and a " Serves you right. " from Blitzwing, which made the smaller mini-bot shout " Shove it up your exhaust, Blitzbrain! ", something the large Decepticon had gotten used to hearing and grown accustomed to.
The large triple-changer felt the smaller frame of Bumblebee climbing into his lap and making himself comfortable. Blitzwing, however, had no complaints about it as his considerably larger arms made themselves comfortable wrapping around Bumblebees smaller form. However, that peace was soon disrupted as the smaller frame wiggled himself free from those large arms. Bumblebee was looking at Blitzwing with a mischievous grin, " You forgot our 'hello' kiss! " Blitzwing stared for a while and a single sentence slipped from his mouth " Shouldn't have been a puny little insect and I wouldn't have forgotten".
" Oh, shu-" Bumblebee's complaining however was cut short as a pair of lips pressed against his, and Bumblebee quickly found himself drawn in. It was something both of them certainly enjoyed. But no bot can kiss for as long as they want and soon enough Bumblebee was back sitting in his partner's lap. Sure, having Blitzwings arms around you meant you couldn't really move all that much. And Bumblebee had no intention of wanting to move, either. Soon he realized how much he had been missing Blitzwing and now they were finally sitting together again. Bumblebee felt a bit sheepish so he mumbled out " Sorry for not meeting up with you for so long because of a stupid game". Blitzwing only shook his head and planted a kiss on the top of Bumblebee's yellow helm, the color, and frame which he came to adore.
The two sat in silence for a bit longer, but Bumblebee can't keep quiet for that long.
" I still can't believe you thought I was hanging with a fish"
Blitzwing retorted with a " Well, knowing you I wouldn't be surprised if you actually were." despite knowing full well Bumblebee would never let him live that down.
That earned a slight smack on his arm from Bumblebee and a pout, which he actually found cute, and a smile quickly found itself back on the faceplates of his beloved mini-bot.
" Your arms are really big, you know that?"
" No. You're just tiny, Autobot. "
" Shut it, Blitzbrain! "
Blitzwing erupted into laughter as his 'Random' persona took place
" Itty bitty, short, tiny, angry Bumblebot! "
" Blitzwing! Cut it out! I didn't choose to be short! "
That's how the rest of the night went. Arguing over stupid things, teasing each other, gossiping about each other's teams and what other interesting things have been happening. cuddling, hugging and kissing while teasing, joking, and loving comments were shared between the two. It would be better if there was no war, but as of now, what else should they need when they get to share the night in the presence of the other?
