"He's nothing but trouble Breakdown!" The larger red and blue transformer sighed, bending down to scoop up Knockout's unconscious body. "I know you like him big guy, but..."

"Then obviously you don't know, huh Wheeljack?" Breakdown looked over the crimson racer's drugged, drunk and overly exhausted body, checking for any extreme damage. The white mech behind him frowned, then pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Whatever, just take him get repaired." He waved his have dismissively at Breakdown. The larger mech began clomping down the hall way to the med-bay, ignoring the random shouts from his team mates. He glanced back, seeing Bulkhead being talked at by Wheeljack.

"He's right you know..." Came a slick voice. He looked down, Knockout was just barely awake, blinking at the larger mech with those pretty optics. "I am nothing but trouble and you know it. And yet you still insist on helping me... how come?" Breakdown thought for a minute.

"You're a friend..."

"Really? Now tell the truth."

"... Hrm." Knockout pouted slightly before shifting into a more comfy position, his arms around Breakdown's strong neck.

"Don't tell me... you like me?" He inquired.

"I just said you were a friend."

"Not like that." Breakdown wasn't that dumb, he'd heard the emphasis in Knockout's voice. He knew the answer as well as Knockout. Neither would say it out loud until the other did.

"You... are like a... brother?"

"Now you're just making excuses!"

"Hrm."

They came to Breakdown's room instead of the med-bay, Knockout preferred healing there.

"You know... do you have a... crush...?"

"On you? No."

"What then?"

"... hrm." Knockout's head made contact with Breakdown's shoulder in exasperation.

"Even a brother wouldn't go this far, and neither would a friend." Knockout growled. "So..."

"... So...?"

"... You must be in love with me." Breakdown snorted.

"Whatever makes you feel happy sweet stuff."

"I thought so." Knockout smirked triumphantly. Breakdown placed the racer on his berth before sitting at the desk. "What next? You plan on marrying me or something?"

"Go to sleep Knockout."
