Slingshot tried to push the seeker away, but Skywarp had him firmly by the arm. This is wrong. Oh man, this is wrong. The Aerialbot tried his best to disconnect himself from the flare of heat surging through his internals. It was only when a warning flashed in his vision that he turned his head away to break the kiss.

Skywarp watched as the Aerialbot floundered for a bit. "Don't tell me you got a warning just from a kiss?"

He received a glare for the comment, which only caused him to laugh.

"I think that means you enjoyed it."

"Shut it, Skywarp."

Skywarp shrugged and pulled him close again. This time Slingshot turned his face away, only to have Skywarp's lips land on his neck. "What the…what don't you understand about no, Skywarp?!" He flinched when Skywarp's metal tongue snaked between neck cables and his hand trailed up his side. "Ahh-ha, don't!"

The Seeker didn't stop, keeping one hand holding Slingshot's right arm secure and the other trailing down the Aerialbot's torso. He mumbled against Slingshot's neck. "Did they even build an interface port on you?"

"Yes, but, I ain't telling you…"

Click!

"…where it is…" Slingshot looked down as Skywarp flicked open a panel on his abdomen and touched the interface port and cable beyond. Flickers of sharp tingling sensation flew through him. "Whoa…"

"Sit down," Skywarp knelt, pulling Slingshot along with him. The Aerialbot obliged, still shocked from the new sensory information, nearly falling on the Seeker, as he had taken that exact moment to pull Slingshot's cable from him and plug it into his own port.

"Ooooh wow!" Slingshot shuddered as he felt Skywarp's consciousness invade his own. Tingles of residual sensory information looped through him. "Holy crap!"

Skywarp smirked with amusement and leaned forward, his optics casting a red glow on Slingshot's visor. "I ain't done yet."

He kissed the Aerialbot and snapped his own cable in Slingshot's port simultaneously. The connection completed, creating a seemingly never ending loop of information. Slingshot gasped at the sensation, Skywarp forgotten, and he found himself pulled into the seeker's lap and felt every kiss placed upon his chassis tenfold.

Skywarp snickered, amused by Slingshot's discovery of all these new sensations. If it was anything like his first time interfacing with the sole intent of causing a pleasured overload, then the Aerialbot would be lost and overwhelmed with the data. When Slingshot did nothing but lean his head against Skywarp's shoulder and shudder with every touch, his arms lax and his hands curled against him, he figured that he was right.

Slingshot's exhilaration looped through him, reminding him of what it was like the first time, when cheap thrills weren't so easy. He tilted Slingshot's chin up and kissed him; this time Slingshot kissed back, a moan on his lips and his fingers making a staggered path up Skywarp's torso. Skywarp allowed the unsure touches, mildly amused, until Slingshot's fingers curved down his back to his wing joints.

They both gasped at the sudden explosion of pleasure that jolted through them. Skywarp was about to ask Slingshot to continue when he felt the beginning of Slingshot's overload echo through him. Smirking, he kissed him on the neck again, trailing his tongue up the cables and allowing his hands to roam the Autobot's chassis, knowing it didn't matter where he touched as the result was all the same.

He watched the Aerialbot overload, his frame shuddering and his face a mixture of pleasure and slight fright at the experience before the connection cut entirely, as Slingshot had gone offline.

……………

"Welcome back."

Slingshot stared up at the night sky. The stars looked down, waiting.

"Is it always like that?"

"The first time is always the best. Well…not always. But it sure sticks with you."

Slingshot turned his head to see Skywarp lying on his back next to him, looking up at the stars as well. "You sure you ain't gonna try and kill me?"

"I'm sure," Skywarp grinned at him. "You weren't half bad, for someone who hasn't even been online for a vorn."

Slingshot frowned. He looked down at his abdomen and saw he was still connected to the seeker. He disconnected Skywarp's cable and set to putting his own away. "That was insane. I can't believe I just did that…and with you!"

"You didn't exactly put up a fight."

The Aerialbot frowned. This was true. "So now what?"

"Whaddaya mean?"

"Are we friends? What?"

Skywarp snickered. "You're still an Autobot. I'm still a Decepticon. I really hope you don't go falling in love over this."

"Well, no, I don't think so…"

"Good," Skywarp sat up and climbed to his thrusters. "I gotta go anyway."

Slingshot sat up. "Go? I thought you couldn't fly."

"I never said that," Skywarp grinned.

"You…tricked me?"

"I am a Decepticon," Skywarp's grin turned wicked. "Besides, getting an Aerialbot and finding a way to keep Superion from functioning, in one move…"

Slingshot glowered, his tone deadpanned. "What?"

"I figured that next time there's a battle, if Superion was too freaked because a part of him shagged a 'Con, then maybe you guys wouldn't pose so much of a threat…"

"You…bastard!" Slingshot stood and made to attack the Decepticon, but Skywarp had already taken off, leaving Slingshot and laughter behind him.

……

"There he is," Ratchet said as they spotted a figure walking up the road, silhouetted by the rising sun. They quickened their pace as they drove towards the figure. "Is he…dragging a part of his chassis?"

"Those idiot Aerialbots," Ironhide grumbled. "Leavin' a soldier on the field…I really hope Prime lets them sit in the brig for a long while for this."

Slingshot came to a halt as the two vans pulled up. He dropped the disconnected bits of his fuselage and waited as they transformed. Ratchet frowned as he took in the damage to Slingshot's chassis. "What in the pit happened to you?"

"Skywarp, and no, I don't wanna talk about it," Slingshot ignored Ironhide's slightly amused expression and waited as the red van transformed. He shoved the broken bits in the red van, and then climbed inside the white when he had transformed.

"Don't worry, Slingshot, the other Aerialbots have been punished for leaving you behind," Ratchet said. "You never leave a fellow Autobot on the field. I guess they've done this before, too."

Slingshot said nothing while within the cramped area, as that was the least of his worries. He listened as Ironhide radioed the Ark to call off the search.

As they rolled up to the entrance of the Ark, Slingshot frowned, his mind made up. "I gotta go to the brig first, Ratchet. There's something I gotta tell Silverbolt…"
