Chapter One Hundred Eighteen: Sleep Deprived in Seattle
“-SLAGGING RAIN!-” Barricade huffed and he eased off his speed to allow more space between himself and the yellow bumper of Bumblebee ahead of him as they weaved through the city streets. “-I hate it! Hate! Hate! Hate! Hate rain!-”
Sam chuckled as he heard the ‘Con’s rather irritated tone coming out of the radio and he shared a small smirk with Miles as Barricade continued to gripe. Apparently some of the Autobots didn’t find it amusing however as there was a frustrated snarl over the air waves. “-For crying out loud, we heard you the first two hours!-” Ironhide shouted from where he was a few spaces behind the surly ‘Con. “-Shut up!-”
“-Ironhide!-” Will snapped.
“-He’s annoying the oil out of me!-”
“-This sucks!-” Sunny suddenly cried out from ahead of Ratchet in the front of the line. “-I’m cold and slagging wet! What is with this planet and the freaking leak in the sky?-”
“-We never had anything like this on Cybertron,-” Sides agreed. “-This planet is weird!-”
“-We didn’t have trees on Cybertron,-” Wheeljack informed them sourly. “-And it’s only water! Get a hold of yourselves.-”
“-Cold water!-” Perceptor muttered as he suddenly dipped down and splashed through another puddle. “-FREEZING WATER!-” he yelped in a rather higher tone than his normal voice as the cold water splashed his undercarriage.
There was a snicker from Barricade and ‘Bee groaned. “Behave!” he snapped and Sam shook his head as he glanced back at the ‘Con behind them.
“-Who me?-” Barricade called back innocently.
“-EVERYONE!-” Ratchet shouted. “-Slag it, we’re all in misery!-”
“-We’re fine,-” a rather cheery voice informed them and everyone was surprised by the instant response.
“-Keep this up Rumble and you can walk to Alaska,-” Soundwave snarled.
“-I thought you were above things like this,-” Barricade called back to the larger ‘Con behind him.
“-I am not used to this ‘rain’ either you know,-” Soundwave bit out.
“-All right, everyone calm down,-” Optimus took over the airwaves. “-As soon as we find some place suitable, we’ll hunker down for the night! Let’s just take care of the humans first.-”
“-Just drop us off at the first hotel you see,-” Ron sighed as he hunkered down in Perceptor’s driver’s seat. “-You’re paying for it.-”
“-Yes but we don’t want to be too far away from you in case we need to make another fast exit,-” Prowl drawled.
“-I don’t care where we go,-” Jazz sighed. “-I’ll just settle for dry.-”
“-That place looks good!-” Epps announced and Sam glanced over to see a small modest hotel next to a rather large parking structure.
“-It’ll do!-” Barricade cried triumphantly, already scooting into the turning lane to get there.
“Barricade! Wait for the rest of us!” Bumblebee huffed as the ‘Con slipped past him.
“You still have to drop off the humans and I’m wet!” Barricade snarled back. He was surprised as a few of the Autobots instantly agreed with him. The Lambos and Jazz were a given but Wheeljack and Prowl also agreed. “I’ll save you a spot,” he chuckled as he parted ways with the camaro.
“Not on the roof you’re not!” Bumblebee instantly shouted back at the retreating ‘Con.
“-You’re no fun!-” Barricade called back with a laugh.
“Slagging ‘Con…” Bumblebee huffed as he followed Ironhide and Perceptor up the small drive to the front of the hotel.
Sam just chuckled as he gave the steering wheel a small pat. “You know he was only kidding,” Sam chuckled as he took his bag from Miles who was snagging them out of the back before exiting to join his father standing by the revolving doors.
“One wonders,” ‘Bee huffed.
Sam just sighed as he watched Epps and Will argue with the poor valet attendant who clearly was befuddled by their insistence at parking their own cars. “Just please, this trip is already becoming a headache,” Sam sighed. “If this is how everyone reacts to rain, then it’s going to be utter hell once we hit snow.”
‘Bee was quiet for a moment. “We’re just kidding around.”
Sam nodded his head as he sat back further into his seat. “I know,” he murmured. “I don’t know, I just…” He frowned and pursed his lips for a moment. “You guys are just bantering like always but lately it’s been making me a little on edge. Especially after that car chase.”
“That was the Lambo’s fault!” ‘Bee insisted.
“Doesn’t matter. They could have been caught and then Thirteen would have found us,” Sam argued. Will was climbing back into Ironhide and it looked as if Epps was going to “drive” Perceptor so Sam sat back up and placed his hands on the steering wheel once more. He gave the valet attendant a small wave as they passed.
“Are you feeling all right Sam?” ‘Bee asked as they crossed the small alleyway and into the parking garage.
Sam was quiet for a moment. “I don’t know,” he finally admitted with a small sigh. “I’m just… I don’t know.”
‘Bee was quiet for a long time as he followed Perceptor around the few pavilions and finally spotted the others scattered about. Optimus and Soundwave were absent but that was to be expected given their size. Barricade it seemed had claimed a small darken corner well away from everyone else and the others were letting the lone ‘Con have his own space as they stayed well clear of that side of the parking area. Bumblebee sighed and Sam frowned at the arrangement.
“You would think after everything’s that’s happened they would at least try and include him,” Sam huffed.
“Jazz probably did but with Prowl there ‘Cade would just as well stay an outcast,” ‘Bee sighed, already heading for the corner.
“Oh can’t you leave me in peace?” Barricade huffed at their appearance.
“Never,” Sam chuckled as he climbed out.
“You’re like the Lambos,” ‘Bee chuckled. “Better to stay where we can see you than wonder what you’re up to.”
“Joy,” Barricade drawled.
“Behave you two,” Sam chuckled, giving first ‘Bee’s hood a small pat before leaning over and giving Barricade’s hood another. “See ya in the morning.”
“In your case, late afternoon,” Barricade snickered.
“I wonder if this hotel has a complementary wake up call,” ‘Bee chuckled.
“Oh great!” Sam groaned as Will wandered over. He turned to the ranger and pointed at the two car’s behind him. “They’re ganging up on me!”
Will instantly turned back around and began heading back the way he had come. “They’re fine!” he called out.
“Hey!” Sam yelped as he trotted off after the older man, though not before he turned and gave the two mechs a small wave.
Both ‘Bee and Barricade watched as Sam and the two rangers disappeared out into the pouring rain. “Should have made him buy an umbrella at that last super store,” ‘Bee huffed.
“Oh sure. That would have gone real well with the snow boots,” ‘Cade snickered.
“I’m just saying…”
The two mechs were quiet for a while and ‘Bee was interested to see that all three of the stable couples were no lonfer present. While he knew that Ratchet, Wheeljack and Prowl would be fine, it was Jazz and the Lambo’s that were cause for worry but he doubted they would do anything that night. He saw Perceptor huddled in the corner opposite and across from them while Ironhide seemed content to hunker down right next to one of the support beams.
“Slagging hell is what it is…”
“What?” ‘Bee quickly glanced back over at the ‘Con parked next to him. “What are you complaining about now?”
There was a soft string of incomprehensible muttering for a moment before Barricade finally sighed. “I’m back in the stupid garage!”
Perceptor and Ironhide were startled when ‘Bee suddenly let out a peal of laughter. “Oh you’re right. Your life is such hell,” ‘Bee snickered.
“I’m serious! These garages are slagging cold!”
“So turn up your heat,” ‘Bee countered.
There was some more mutterings and ‘Bee was just settling down when the ‘Con spoke again. “So what’d the boy mean by that ‘on edge’ bit?”
Bumblebee was instantly fully awake. “Damn you and that fucking watch!” he yelped part horrified and part embarrassed to realize that every so-called private conversation he had had with Sam hand probably been heard by the ‘Con. “Don’t you ever turn it off?”
“When Thirteen and Starscream have been taken care of, then I’ll shut it off,” Barricade snarled. “Now what the slag is wrong with Sam?”
‘Bee groused some more silently before he sighed. “I have absolutely no idea.”
“You don’t suppose it has something to do with the fact that we’re getting closer to the Energon, do you?” ‘Cade said slowly. “He mentioned a headache…”
“What?” ‘Bee looked over at the ‘Con surprised. “How did you come up with that one?”
“The boy speaks to Primus; I rule nothing out when it comes to Sam.”
Bumblebee found it hard to argue with that type of logic. “I don’t know…” he said again. “I could mention it to Ratchet or Optimus…”
“I doubt that they could do anything,” Barricade muttered.
“We’ll just have to keep a closer optic on him and make sure he’s always with one of us I suppose,” ‘Bee admitted.
“Agreed, though that’s no different than what we do now.”
“True…” ‘Bee went silent and Barricade glanced at the younger mech puzzled for a moment when Bumblebee startled him with his next words. “I’m glad you’re here.”
“WHAT?” ‘Cade yelped utterly and completely dumbfounded.
“I mean to help with Sam!” ‘Bee quickly added. “It would have been hell if I had to watch over him by myself. What with Thirteen and Starscream and Primus and… and… everything,” ‘Bee finished lamely.
Barricade just stared at the ‘Bot for a long moment wondering if his moving to another spot would be too much of a snub when there was suddenly a large shadow in front of them. Even in Truck mode both ‘Bee and ‘Cade could tell he was just glaring at them for all he was worth. “This ain’t no slumber party so zip it!” Ironhide shouted the last two words and both cars shrunk back away from the large, temperamental gunner.
“Yes sir,” they chorused.
“Freaking youngsters…” Ironhide groused as he backed up and went back to his small niche grumbling all the way.
The two were deadly silent for the next few moments before both of them burst out into barely contained snickers. “Wanna play truth or dare?” ‘Cade drawled.
“Shut up and go to sleep,” ‘Bee chuckled one last time.
“’Can’t,” ‘Cade sighed as he threw a dark look at the tiny car in the far corner. “Who knew Perceptor snores?”
The two were laughing again when there was a huff from the other side of the parking level. “Do not make me get Ratchet!”
“Good night Ironhide,” ‘Bee called out and the two tried desperately to remain quiet for the rest of the night, though how Ironhide could hear them over Perceptor’s snores was beyond either of their comprehensions.
“I’m soaked,” Sam murmured as he and the two rangers ducked under the small hotel’s awning.
“We did offer to park the cars for you sir,” one of the valets huffed.
“And let you help yourselves to my gum collection in the ash tray? Never!” Sam made a horrified face as he followed Epps into the lobby. He smiled as he saw the man’s shoulders were shaking but Will was frowning down at him. “What? They’re ass holes.”
“The kid’s got a point,” Epps chuckled turning back to them. “Now if you will excuse me. There seems to be a bar stool with my name on it.”
“You’re going drinking?” Will said disapprovingly. “We’re leaving early in the morning.”
Epps just shrugged. “Not like I’m the one driving,” he grinned cheekily. “And I can always sleep on the road. Later!”
Will just shook his head as he walked up to the counter. After speaking briefly to the concierge, they obtained their keys and made their way to the elevator. Will glanced down at Sam curiously as the boy fiddled with his electric key card. “Something on your mind?”
Sam’s head jerked up and he glanced over at Will. “No,” he said quickly.
Will frowned but shrugged as the doors opened. “Okay.”
The elevator had barely begun to move when Sam turned to Will. “Can I talk to you?” he asked suddenly.
Will blinked in surprise as he looked down at the boy curiously. “We’re talking now,” he pointed out as he looked about the empty elevator.
Sam blinked. “Um, I mean later, in your room since Epps will be downstairs. I’ll just drop this off in my room and tell Miles where I’ll be.”
Will gave Sam a long, hard look but nodded as the doors opened. “Okay. I’m two-oh-four.”
Sam nodded and the two quickly parted ways as Sam raced down to room two-sixteen. Entering the room, Sam quickly dropped his duffle on the empty bed next to the one with Miles snoring away in it. “So much for telling him where I’ll be,” Sam chuckled as he quickly swapped his damp clothes for fresh ones. He turned to leave when he suddenly paused. Turning back around he re-entered the room and quickly took off the small watch that had been a constant on his arm for nearly four months.
Dropping it on the duffle bag with a silent apology to Barricade, he quickly turned back and headed out once more. Will was already in his nightwear of a ragged t-shirt and shorts when Sam knocked on his door mere moments after parting ways with the man. Will raised an eyebrow and let the boy in. “What’s the rush?” he asked curiously.
Sam sighed as he sat down on Epps unoccupied bed. “I actually needed your advice on something…”
That seemed to surprise Will most of all. “My advice?” he said slowly with a frown. “Couldn’t you speak to your dad?”
“It’s about the ‘Bots-the Cybertronions,” Sam stressed as he began wringing his hands together.
Will frowned, now becoming even more curious. “Well if it’s advice, couldn’t you talk to Optimus or Ratchet? Or do you want me to ask Ironhide to talk to you?”
Sam looked up at the ranger startled. “Oh um… actually I’m pretty sure only you can give me any advice on this.”
Will frowned as Sam’s face suddenly turned bright red and the boy’s attention remained riveted on his lap. “Sam…” Will said sternly. “If there’s something wrong, you need to tell someone. I know you feel responsible for the mechs and Barricade’s and hell, probably even Soundwave’s presence here but keeping it all bottled up inside you isn’t going to help matters any. You need to tell me what’s wrong.”
Sam fidgeted for a moment before he glanced up at Will. “Are you dating Ironhide?” the boy quickly blurted out.
Will stared at the boy in surprise, wondering if he had actually heard what he thought he had, but Sam’s hopeful stare was all the proof he needed to know that yes, Sam had just asked what he thought he had asked. “What?”
Sam’s gaze quickly dropped back to his lap and his face got redder if that was even possible as he fidgeted again. “Never mind. It was stupid, forget I even said anything.”
“Does anyone else know?”
Will's rather small voice stopped Sam from getting up off the bed and he looked back at the ranger surprised. Will’s face had gone rather pale and he was looking at Sam with the same desperation that Sam had worn mere moments before. “Um… I’m not-”
“Sam,” Will snapped.
“My mom,” Sam blurted out quickly. “I think she’s the only one who knows point blank. The others have their suspicious and even I wasn’t sure until just now,” Sam held out his hands helplessly. “I mean, I’ve heard the others joke about how ‘Hide is so possessive of you but it could just as easily be passed off as his duty to protect you.”
Will seemed to relax at this announcement as the color soon returned to his face. The older man let out a sigh as he ran his hand through his hair. “Right. Sorry,” he muttered. “It’s just… we don’t know how anyone will react when we tell them and we just… well it’s new and…”
“Perfectly understandable,” Sam nodded. “I felt the same way when Mikaela and I first started going out. Until we both realized that the only thing we ever talked about were ‘Bee and the guys since she was working with Ratchet and I was working with everyone else…”
Will gave Sam a wan smile before he suddenly frowned. “What brought this up so suddenly?”
Sam started twitching again and Will watched the boy for a moment before he smiled. “Sam…I know that this must be difficult for you, especially since they’re another species and all and I will tell you, I had to think long and hard before I accepted Ironhide’s affection.”
“Do you love him back?”
Will didn’t even hesitate as he nodded. “I do,” he said softly. “God I agonized over my feelings too. I had only just separated with Sarah and I thought I might have been betraying her or something by loving Ironhide.”
Sam looked at Will carefully. “And now?”
“And now,” Will sighed. “I don’t think I could ever give him up for anything.”
Sam smiled softly. “So…”
Will chuckled. “So you’re not going crazy.”
Sam nearly collapsed in relief at the words. “I thought that there might have been something wrong with me or something…” he muttered. “I mean, I didn’t even know if what I was feeling was real or if it was even normal…” Will raised an eyebrow and Sam sighed. “I’ve been struggling over this like you wouldn’t believe,” he admitted softly. “I thought I was going crazy…”
“Kind of takes reality and flips it upside down, doesn’t it?” Will chuckled.
Sam gave him a small smile. “I’m just glad to know I’m not the only one.”
“Well you have to admit that we’ve been put in an odd situation,” Will nodded. “Actually, it’s not all surprising that we would form some sort of… attachment to them.”
“Really?” Sam perked up at this. “How do you mean?”
“Look at the situation from the beginning,” Will told him. “Emotions can run high in a time of crisis and everything that the Autobots have done for us…” he trailed off with a shrug.
Sam thought this over for a while before he glanced up at Will curious. “How did Ironhide take your admission?” he asked him slowly.
Will surprised him by laughing. “Actually, it was Ironhide who confessed his feelings to me first.”
Sam’s eyes widened at that confession. “Really?” he asked surprised.
Will just nodded. “He was afraid his feelings were unwelcome because I was married when we met and he thought he was somehow betraying me by loving me or something.”
Sam just frowned at this. “And it isn’t odd?” he asked. “The differences between us…”
“Love doesn’t care about those things,” Will shrugged. “You can’t help who you fall in love with.” Sam still looked unsure and Will sighed again. “Ironhide and I had a long conversation about the differences between both our races,” he told the teenager. “The reason we didn’t confess to one another for so long was that we had allowed those differences to blind us to what we could have.”
“But isn’t it strange? Being in love with… well, a giant alien robot?”
“It makes life interesting, that’s for sure,” Will chuckled before turning serious and he leaned forward placing his hand over Sam’s clenched one. “It’s not so much what he is as much as who he is,” he told him.
Sam nodded. “I know…” he sighed.
“I can only tell you how I feel in my own experience,” Will told him firmly. “Whether or not you decide to act on your feelings is completely up to you.”
Sam smiled wanly. “I know…” he sighed. “It’s just that at first I wasn’t sure what I was feeling and then when I realized how I felt, it was just such a surprise that I wasn’t sure how to feel about everything. Then all the fuss with the Energon and um… other things I just kind of buried my feelings.”
“Worse thing you could do,” Will told him. “They tend to fester if you ignore them.”
Sam nodded. “I just, I don’t know,” he shrugged. “I just feel like it was the worse thing I could have done.”
Will’s head jerked up at that one and he stared long and hard at Sam. “What do you mean?”
Sam blinked in surprise. “Well... considering how well the Autobots have been treating me, and I’m their human liaison and they’ve taken us in since Thirteen’s completely trashed our house,” he shrugged again. “Then to make things more complicated, I have to go and fall in love.” Sam blushed beet red as he finally said the words out loud.
“Sam, why would you say you were betraying them?” Will asked completely baffled. “It’s not like you’re hurting anyone.”
“But I am, I will,” Sam groaned as he flopped back onto Epps’ bed. He dragged a pillow and placed it over his face and a few more groans could be heard under the fabric.
Will just stared at the boy now more confused than ever. “Sam,” he called reaching out and snagging the pillow. “What are you talking about? Who are you hurting?”
Sam sighed. “Everyone…” he admitted, “but mostly ‘Bee.”
“’Bee?” Will yelped in surprise, startling Sam. “What do you mean you’re hurting ‘Bee?” he demanded. “How could you being in love hurt ‘Bee?”
Sam frowned. “Well, I mean I know he’ll be happy for me but he and I have gotten extremely close and for the longest time it was Bumblebee I thought I was falling in love with.”
“It’s NOT?” Will yelped. “You mean you aren’t in love with ‘Bee?” The ranger just gapped at the boy, completely flummoxed. “Then who the hell have we been talking about?”
Sam looked over at the older man surprised before he flopped back onto the bed once more. “You see! This is what I’m talking about! Everyone expects me to maybe have these feelings about ‘Bee, but it’s Barricade that I think I’m starting to have feelings for.”
Will stared at the boy for close to five minutes before he quickly stood and made his way to the small mini fridge the room had to see what it offered, wondering if it was too late to join Epps in that drink.
-The End
