A Smokescreen × Bumblebee oneshot
(With a lot of Wheeljack and Smokescreen being brothers.)

Smokescreen was being annoying.
When was he not being annoying?
Never.
At least in Ratchets Opinion.
In this case Ratchet was definitely right.

Wheeljack flipped Smokescreen off for the 7th time that hour, not even bothering to look up from the tiny blaster he was making.
"Well that's not very nice now..."
Smokescreen pouted and crossed his arms, not unlike a child.
"I don't care. You're annoying."
Smokescreen huffed and walked behind Wheeljack, trying to get a good look at what he was doing.
"Whadda ya-"
"Say one more word and I'm kicking you so hard you'll see Optimus Prime in a tutu."

That shut Smokescreen up.
For a while.
"That would be funny. You know seeing Optimus in a tutu."
"It wouldn't be funny because you'd be in pain and on the floor."
"But a TUTU!"
"I actually hate you."
"Maybe I hate you too!"
"It seems we are in an agreement then."
"Why are you so boring when you make something?"
"Shut it I'm concentrating."
"What do you not have enough brain cells to focus on me and that thing?"
Wheeljack promptly turned round and kicked Smokescreen right where it hurt.
Fortunately for Wheeljack, nobody was around to see.
Unfortunately for Smokescreen, that meant he practically passed out.

A good hour later Smokescreen finally stopped complaining from the floor and sat up.
"Why'd you kick me?"
Wheeljack didn't answer, too busy inspecting the mini blaster for flaws.
"Hellooo? Wheeljack? You theree?"
More ignorance.
"Bomb Expert? Stop ignoring meee"
Still nothing.

With an annoyed sigh Smokescreen got up and stomped away, trying to find the humans.
Luckily enough he found one in a record time of 15 seconds.
"Smokescreen! Raf asked me a question for once and I need to answer it!" Miko said, looking panicked.
"Uh, why?"
"Because! Raf is the smart guy! I need to make him feel dumb by answering the question!"
Smokescreen paused, then shrugged.
"Go ask Wheeljack he would love to tell you."
Miko scowled.
"But I need YOU!"
"Me? Why me?!"
"Uh, it's about- uh. Well..."

Smokescreen knew this wasn't going to be good.
"What colour do Cybertronians blush?"
He paused again, trying to think.
It was then he realised that he didn't know.
"Uh, well. The answer is... uhm... It's uhhh you know... one of those colours?"
Miko stared at him unimpressed.
"Well you're useless. Maybe I will ask Wheeljack then. See ya!"
Smokescreen stood there feeling embarrassed, before realising he finally had something to do.
It was now his mission to make someone blush.
(That someone being  Bumblebee)

It took a whole 50 seconds to find the yellow and black bot, who was sitting in the corner of a storage room throwing some kind of bouncy ball at the wall.
He noticed as Smokescreen walked in and immedietly spun to see him.
"Smokes! Hi!"
Smokescreen grinned, the smile bursting from him unintentionally.
"Hey Bee," He said still grinning, "Woah, did anyone ever tell you how cool your paint job is?"
Bumblebee looked at Smokescreen warily, raising an eyebrow.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, I mean your paintjob is cool."
"Oh. Thanks. You too I guess."

Well that boat sunk pretty quickly.

"I like your optics, the blue is- uh- pretty?"
That suprised Bumblebee.
"Really? Do you really think so? The others said they're too bright and annoying..."
Smokescreen stopped, suddenly mad at the others about not liking Bumblebees optics.
He realised how weird that was the second he thought it.
"Well I think they're cool. And so are your- hmmm... your... servos?"
"Uhhh"
Bumblebee suddenly realised what Smokescreen was doing, and instead of telling him decided to play along.

"Ok but did I ever tell you how nice your battle skills are? You're improving so quick that soon you'll beat Optimus!"
Using Smokescreens pride and his idol in the same compliment? Massive Effect.
"Uh- I- uh- thanks- um- you too? Uh."
Smokescreen was not going to last long like this.
"Oh and your speed, you are so quick honestly Knockout would be jealous if he didn't have his helm up his own af- well you get it but damn it's impressive."
Another massive hit.
Smokescreen seemed to be struggling to even make a word.
"Y-yeah you- uh- you're fast t-too- hehe..."
"Did I mention the phase shifter? It really suits you, just like your paint job. It's nice, I like it."
Bumblebee leaned into Smokescreen and gently poked his wrist, that was the last straw for the other bot.

Bumblebee held back a laugh as Smokescreens face erupted into a mess of a heated blue.
He opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out, so he instead buried his face in his servos.
"I like your voice too, it makes me feel-"
A squeal comes from Smokescreens voicebox that cuts off Bumblebee. You could practically see the racer glowing. Smokescreen peeked over his hands to Bumblebee, revealing his cheeks to be lit up the brightest blue the scout had ever seen.

But the moment was ruined when Wheeljack walked in, unfinished blaster in hand and not even looking in the direction of the two lovebirds.
Smokescreen squeaked and fell off his seat, or at least off the box he was on. Luckily, Bumblebee was sat right where he fell. So when Wheeljack looked up to see the two bots, he saw Bumblebee blushing slightly as a bright blue Smokescreen tried to get off the now laying down Scout where he had conveniently fallen.
"Uhhh... I'll just leave you two be..."
The Wrecker quickly backed away and left the storage room and Smokescreen gave up and just lay motionless of Bumblebee.
"Uh, Smoke-"
"Nuh uh shh."
Smokescreen was still hiding his blue face.

A slightly traumatised Wheeljack entered the main room, having completely forgotten about the blaster.
Miko came up to him, looking anxious.
"WHEELJACK! This is urgent, Do Cybertronians blush-"
"Yes and Blue."
Wheeljack said before burying his face into his servos and groaning.
Miko just stood there mid question looking confused, before deciding that Bulkhead would probably solve whatever was up with him.
"Ok... thanks bye."
And just like that the cause of the whole scene dissapeared.

Just to say, Bumblebee and Smokescreen were laying on each other in a way that kinda looks- well- they looked like they were doing the nasty. So that's why Wheeljack is traumatised. He just saw his 'brother' potentially you-know-whatting his teammate.
