"...find anything yet?"
You jumped and juggled the recording in your servos. Gasping as it slipped between your digits a few times before you had a firm hold on it with both servos. You glared at the mech hanging over your shoulder, who rose his servos as he backed up from you.
"No, nothing yet," You answered as you carefully placed the recording back in its original spot. Your optics ran over the many shelves and cases full of records, a huff left you as you turned to ask, "You?"
"None," Orion took out a recording and discarded it carelessly.
"...you know we should probably go," You stepped away from the shelf and approached Orion's back. You stopped just a few steps away from him, peering around his arm to see the mech filtering through the piles on the table. "Before we get caught again."
"We won't get caught, stop being a wuss," Orion reassured with a laugh.
"Hey! What are you two doing over there? Wait, is that Orion Pax again?!"
The two of you shared horrified looks before scrambling from the records as the shouting officers demanded you two to stop.
"I told you we would get caught!" You blew your top as you sprinted beside Orion.
"And I'm telling you we won't-!" Optimus turned a corner and grunted when he slammed against a wall.
"Dead end?" Optimus glanced up and saw the vents were boarded up. "Damn, they really prepared this time."
"See? See? This is exactly why I should've listened to D to not come with you," You shook your digit at Orion before dropping your face into your palm. "We are going to get demoted for sure."
"...halt!"
The approaching voices caused you to fret even more, but Orion was immune to the panic as he focused on finding a way out of this. He glanced around the corridor before his optics landed on a window.
You felt something grab your wrist and before you could squeal you were pulled along. Your optics fell on the window that Orion was leading the both of you to and you began shaking your helm frantically.
"No, no, no, don't you da-!"
"Too late for that!" Orion pulled you close and shielded your frame with his as he rammed through the glass.
A scream ripped from your intake as the two of you pummeled toward the ground, other cybertronians and the like zooming past the two of you.
Fortunately, the two of you landed on an overhang attached to a wall, the force ricocheted you both into breaking another window and falling inside of a building. Orion rolled with you in his arms for a few seconds until he rolled onto his back, then he unwrapped his arms from you.
Out of breath and gasping for air, You and Orion gawked at each other for a moment before a giggle left your dermas. Orion couldn't hold back anymore and also broke out a fit of chuckles while you weakly dismounted from him and sat on the ground. Your optics observed the broken pieces of glass that led to the elevated window you two entered from.
It….was really high up, not even Orion seemed tall enough to reach it.
"What did I say? We wouldn't get caught and here we are now! Not getting screamed at or forced to work another long hour of-" Orion faltered as did his optics observing your back. Him seeing your shoulders slump as well as the lack of your usual taunts spooked him.
"...___? Is something wrong?" Orion got off of the ground and joined you by your side. He placed a servo on your shoulder and leaned forward to gauge your reaction.
"Pax…" You began. "We're trapped."
"What?" Orion's optics widened.
"Look."
So he did and he didn't like what he saw.
Orion examined the building they were in and how dark it was. There wasn't any light sources other than the light streaming in from the window. Everything else was boarded up and the room appeared…abandoned to say the least.
There were a few boxes and carts here and there, but other than those things it was fairly empty.
"Scrap," Orion hissed. "Look, ___, I-"
He turned to you and shut his trap up when you held up a servo.
"It's fine, I expected things to go to scrap the moment I agreed to go on this 'outing,'" You curled your digits to make the 'quote-on-quote' gesture before dropping your arms. You turned on your heel strut and walked over to the nearest wall and slid down onto your aft. Orion watched you go, his face twisting with a flurry of emotions before he decided to sit beside you with his legs stretched out.
"..." You couldn't find the strength to speak or entertain a conversation now of all times. You didn't hate Orion, or find him that annoying like every other bot did. In fact, you liked him, more than you were willing to admit to his face or D's (who had an inkling and brought it up one time–but you quickly shut that down before his smug ideas could land you in trouble). You curled your knees to your chassis and burrowed your helm in your arms.
"..."
"Soooo…you come here often?"
You raised your helm enough to peek your optics out and give Orion a look.
He smiled back.
"Yeah, I come here all the time when I want to avoid dumb idiots like a certain red and blue mech," You shot back as your tone came out harsher than intended.
Orion halfheartedly giggled before shooting you with another ridiculous response, "I'm pretty positive that the red and blue mech doesn't mean any harm…and he's very very sorry."
You couldn't hide the smile growing on your faceplate. Rolling your optics and making contact with the bigger mech's face, you played along with his game. "Oh, is that so? Because I don't think bringing me to a dark, scary place is an ideal first date I'd imagine us going on."
It was Orion's turn to look at you. Stunned as his cheeks flushed with a light hue.
"Well, I, uh…"
You looked away and smirked at your win. Even if he laughed it off or rebuffed you, it was nice that you could make him shut up for once.
"...I could take you somewhere nicer…for next time."
You almost had a whiplash from how fast your helm turned on your shoulders. You studied Orion's face for any signs of this being some cruel joke, but nothing prepared you for the soft expression and heated gaze that allowed you to drink in all of its vulnerability.
Oh….oh.
"I'd love that," You admitted, optics shying away from his intense gaze. You unfurled from the ball you curled in and placed your servos on the ground. A relieved sigh rumbled from Orion's chassis as he turned his gaze to stare off into space, his servo slowly inching away from his side and toward yours.
You flinched when something tapped your pinkie, you peeked down and saw Orion's digit nudging against yours. Your dermas curved as your faceplate was set ablaze, you hooked your digit around Orion's—who in turn interlocked your servos together.
The two cybertronians glanced up from their joined limbs and stared into each other's optics.
Time slowed as the two of you leaned forward, you could practically hear each other's sparks beating wildly as the gap sealed with a kiss.
His dermas gently pressed against yours, his other servo cupped the back of your helm and your own rested on his chassis. The kiss was soft and a bit awkward as Orion's forehelm knocked into yours a few times. Nevertheless, it was a wonderful experience.
As you tilted your helm to deepen the kiss-
A loud bang caused the two of you to separate and stare at the two guards who blocked the only exit of the place.
"EW! Public displays of affection and breaking into an official building is not allowed!"
