Drift And Ratchet Finding Hot Rod Cute And Wanting To Court Him But Someone Stops Them, Warning Them

Drift and Ratchet finding Hot Rod cute and wanting to court him but someone stops them, warning them that his carrier, Perceptor, is a scary mech who won't let anyone court his creation. The two try anyway because they genuinely love Hot Rod and want to be with him.

The three of them were having a fun time flirting and dancing with Hot Rod, after inviting him out for drinks. Only for it to be interrupted when Hot Rod got a comm pulling him away.

The two watched him go with a sigh. Although they hated seeing him go. They loved to watch him leave.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you."

"What?"

They both gave the femm a confused look.

"Flirting with Hot Rod will only end in tragedy... For you."

"Why's that?"

Ratchet crossed his arms giving her an unimpressed look.

"His carrier Perceptor can be... Possessive. He won't let anyone court his sparkling because he doesn't think anyone is worthy."

"We'll show him."

Drift gave her a determined look, knowing they'd be amazing mates to Hot Rod.

The femm sighed.

"I tried to warn you. Many have tried and many have payed the price."

Neither of them listened already coming up with a plan to court him. They started by leaving him little gifts. Which always ended up in the trash right outside the medbay or the gym where Drift frequently trained.

The two of them looked concerned wondering if Hot Rod was rejecting them. When they tried subtly asking him about it. He seemed confused because he'd never gotten anything.

Looking at each other they realized it must have been his carriers idea. If he thought they'd back off that easy, he had another thing coming.

They began inviting him out. Wanting to hangout together and go on dates.

Only for Hot Rods carrier to call him while they were out, or right before their date. Claiming he needed Hot Rod and that it was an emergency.

Hot Rod of course always went. Worried that his carrier needed help.

They weren't officially dating or anything so they couldn't complain. Even if his carrier ruined their dates.

The two of them wouldn't give up though. Perceptor wasn't going to win and they took this as a challenge. They found ways to surprise him and keep Perceptor distracted, much to his annoyance.

The scientist finally had enough doing things in the background and decided to be upfront. Telling them that he didn't like them and didn't want them around his sparkling.

When they refused to back off. Perceptor threatened to kill them if they hurt his sparkling and that if they didn't stop, he'd make their lives miserable.

They didn't believe him determined to have Hot Rod for themselves. They though if Perceptor realized how serious they were, he'd back off. Realizing they wanted to have a relationship with Hot Rod and weren't just trying to sleep with him. Besides what was the worst he could do.

Perceptor saw it as defiance against his authority and hated them even more. He knew they would hurt his bitty if he didn't stop him. They loved each other and were only using Hot Rod. He knew that once they had him they'd be bored of him and that their pathetic attempts to get his attention were laughable.

Drift and Ratchet started noticing things going missing, energon dispensaries we're tampered with. Whenever they put in their code a disgusting concoction would come out. Sometimes there code would stop working causing them to be trapped in a room until someone found them.

When Drift went to train the equipment he usually used either wasn't there of moved.

Although Ratchets stuff in the medbay was never moved. Things would be shifted slightly just enough to bother him as he tried putting it back.

They also noticed that stuff in their room would be lost and then found in a random spot. Things would be moved around and messed with.

When Drift came home one day and noticed his crystals were in the wrong places, causing them to give off a harsh vibe. He couldn't rest until they were put back in order.

Then there were the random annoying noises and the weird smells that would keep them up all night.

Both of them were being driven crazy and finally they broke.

First they told Optimus who couldn't do anything, because they had no proof it was Perceptor. Although he did tell them. That all of it would stop if they left Hot Rod alone which made them suspicious.

They lasted a few more days until something happened. It wasn't enough to hurt them, but it was enough to show what could happen if they didn't stop.

Frustrated. Both of them went to Perceptor demanding he stop.

The scientist pretended to be innocent as though he wasn't driving them crazy.

"Maybe this would all go away if you left my bitty alone."

"Hot Rod is an adult he can be with whoever he wants."

Ratchet grouched looking annoyed.

"He doesn't know what he wants. Which is why it's my job to keep people like you away from him."

"We love him."

Drift defended and Perceptor glared.

"You're only trying to use him now back off from my sparkling or next time it will be worse."

He glared. Grabbing his gun and they both backed away quickly escaping.

When they were far enough away they turned to each other and realized they couldn't keep doing this. As much as it pained them Perceptor won at least for now.

Hi can we have barbarian soundrod please

With winter quickly approaching he was working on blankets especially for the little ones. He was sitting by the fire letting it's warmth wash over him as he worked. Having come from the Nyon tribe he was used to heat and his armor wasn't made to handle the cold like the others.

Feeling someone's gaze on him he looked up to see city bots being led to the med tent. He saw one of them staring at him and he assumed it was out of curiosity.

Looking at the others he could see a few were injured. They also weren't prepared for the cold at all. Which wasn't surprising. They always thought they could beat nature and that they were above it.

He assumed they must have gotten lost when they journeyed into the wastelands. Not expecting the weather to be so different from the cities or maybe they just didn't care.

He went back to what he was doing before. Wanting to get the blanket done as soon as possible.

At dinner some of the city bots joined them after Ratchet looked them over.

The one who'd been staring at him earlier was staring at him again. He tried to ignore him. Until he walked over and began to speak with him in a language he didn't know.

When he gave him a confused look. He gestured to himself.

"Thunderclash."

"Thunderclash?"

The man smiled and nodded pointing at himself and repeating what his name was. He then pointed at him and must have asked what is name was.

"Hot Rod."

He decided to answer not wanting to be rude. Even though he wished he'd leave him alone.

Looking around he made optic contact with his mate who'd been talking to Ratchet about the city bots.

Thunderclash either oblivious to the tension surrounding them or simply not caring. Smiled and began saying things he didn't understand.

Soundwave came over and put a protective hand on his shoulder. Staring the mech down until his smile faded and he seemed to take the hint.

The two of them left and he cuddled against Soundwave. Who warned him to stay away from the mech.

"I know. There's something about him that makes me uncomfortable."

"Ratchet says he was trying to flirt with you."

"What!? Doesn't he know I'm taken?"

"Apparently city bots have a different way of showing they are together."

"City bots are so weird."

"Agreed."

They snuggled together in bed and Soundwave promised to watch over him in case the city bot tried to speak with him again.

"Hopefully they'll be gone soon."

"Once everyone is healed we will help them find their way back to the city."

He nodded and quickly fell asleep safe in Soundwave's arms.

Can we get a Part II to the glory hole scenario? Soundwave manages to track Hot Rod down and is now trying to woo the cute bot into being his mate. He so badly wants to bury his spike in him and knock him up with all the sparklings.

I already answered part 2 of this story.

Send me some asks please.

Dratchetrod Mer AU. Mer!Drift and Ratchet are trying to woo Human!Roddy. They do things give him pretty stones they find, follow his boat when he goes out fishing, and even scaring off other potential suitors be it other mers or humans.

He walked onto the deck where Ratchet and Drift were waiting for him.

"What took you so long?"

"Breakfast."

He held up a granola bar and Ratchet made a face.

"That's not healthy or enough food."

"I'm fine."

He climbed into his boat and pulled up the anchor. Before making sure his ship was ready to set sail.

Drift lifted himself partially onto the boat holding out some rocks he found pretty.

"For you."

"Thank you these are very nice."

Drift preened and he put them in his collection. Which was started after Drift kept giving him rocks and he didn't have the heart to get rid of them. Especially because Drift always seemed so proud of himself.

He pulled the boat away from the docks and the two mers followed after. Pointing out any good fishing spots which he appreciated.

Stopping his boat he grabbed his rod and climbed onto the edge, feeling his feet touch the water. Ratchet gave him a look. Worried he'd fall before diving under water. When nothing happened and he was fine.

He quietly sang while enjoying the nice day. Drift swam around nearby occasionally joining Ratchet under lwater.

He wondered what it was like to swim together underwater. Without having to worry about holding your breath.

"Here."

Ratchet gave him some fish giving him an expectant look.

"Eat."

"I'm fine."

"You didn't have a proper breakfast so you should eat this."

"It's raw."

Ratchet stared at the fish for a long time and sighed. Drift put a hand on his shoulder and tried to distract his mate. He felt a little bad but he also didn't want to get sick again after eating raw fish.

Hearing a boat approach Drift and Ratchet dived under water before they were seen.

He looked over to see Thunderclash waving at him as his boat approached.

He forced himself to wave back hoping he'd leave him alone.

Even though everyone liked Thunderclash there was something about him that always rubbed him the wrong way.

His friends always assumed it was jealousy because he had a bigger boat, was more popular, and seemed to have a better life overall compared to him.

Maybe that was true. But there was always something about Thunderclash friendliest towards him that always rubbed him the wrong way.

"How are you doing today?"

"I'm fine."

"It's nice out today."

He nodded wishing this would end and that he could get back to fishing.

"I was wondering if you wanted to go on a date with me to Swerves this Friday and get dinner?"

He frantically tried to think of an excuse wishing he hadn't asked him. Because he was so well liked. It was extremely difficult saying no to him. Unless he wanted to deal with his angry fan club because he dared to hurt his feelings.

Before he could respond Thunderclash boat violently rocked to the side

"Woah."

He grabbed onto something before he could fall into the water.

"Sorry I think something is wrong with my boat."

Thunderclash stumbled over to see what was wrong while the boat rocked violently. Looking into the water he saw a familiar fin.

The boat kept rocking and Thunderclash came out looking confused.

"I don't know what's happening."

Ratchet popped out of the water unseen by Thunderclash and used his tail to splash water on him. Thunderclash sputtered in surprise as the boat rocked violently causing him to fall.

He winced and then heard a loud noise. His eyes widened when he noticed the ship was sinking. He thought they were only messing around. He didn't realize they were going to do damage property.

"Help!"

Thunderclash turned to him as his boat began to sink and he helped him on board.

Thunderclash wrapped his arms around him for longer than necessary, when he climbed aboard and he could see Drift and Ratchet watching. Both of them glaring for some reason.

Pulling away he took the ship back to land. The entire time he stayed close while thanking him for saving him.

"I owe you a drink. Do you want to get one later?"

"I can't I'm busy."

He lied docking the ship and hoping Thunderclash will leave.

"How about on Friday? Will you go with me to Swerves?"

"I can't. I'm really busy right now."

Thunderclash nodded.

"That's alright. I'll find a way for us to hang out together. Maybe we can go fishing together."

His hands touched his hips and he leaned back feeling uncomfortable. His boat jerked slightly and Thunderclash pulled away.

"There must be a storm coming or something. Maybe we should get out of the water until the waves calm down."

"I'm fine."

"Are you sure? What if your boat goes down? I'll never forgive myself if something happens to you, when I could have stopped it."

"I'm fine."

He found himself getting annoyed.

The boat violently rocked again and he found himself getting annoyed at Drift and Ratchet. Because now Thunderclash refused to leave until he went with him because it was too dangerous.

Having no choice he sighed and agreed to get a drink with him. Thunderclash beamed and the two left his ship.

Looking behind him he could see Ratchet and Drift watching. Both of them clearly displeased but they had no one to blame but themselves.

If they had just left him alone. He wouldn't be hanging out with him right now instead of them.

Today we celebrate!
