One-Shots - Rescue Bots/Rescue Bots Academy

!Angst! - Blades x Insane!Bumblebee

Requested by ___chenz

A/N: For context, this is their AU version of Bumblebee. Bumblebee in this AU is insane and absolutely hates Blades.

"BEE", Blades screamed while out of breath, "I HAVE SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO ASK YOU."

Bumblebee grimaced as he was turned away from his aerial acquaintance. He then proceeded to collect himself and turned to face the orange hero, "What can I do for you, Blades?"

Blades became giddy as he stuttered out his question. His excitement prohibited him from finishing his sentence, "Will- HEHE- will you- HAHA- WILL YOU-"

Bumblebee tried to keep a professional face, despite his ever increasing disgust of the Bot he reluctantly called an ally. Despite what it seemed, Bumblebee viewed Blades as a thorn in his side. Nothing more than an annoyance and something that gets in his way of performing his duties.

Bumblebee snapped out of his thoughts when he barely heard Blades' question, "I'm sorry" -he wasn't- "could you repeat that?"

Blades fanned himself from excitement, "One moment! I can't- I need- OOO IT'S TOO EXCITING!!!"

'More exciting than you leaving?' Bumblebee thought to himself as he impatiently waited for the flamboyant helicopter to finish his fangirl charade, "Can we hurry this along? I have important matters to attend to."

He didn't.

Blades formally collected himself once more and took a deep breath, "Bumblebee, will you be my mechfriend?"

Bumblebee stood there, unmoving, unable to process what this idiotic helicopter just asked of him.

"Well??", Blades spoke up, "What do you say??"

Bumblebee's disgust turned into that of plotting. 'If I say yes, I could finally treat him like how he needs to be treated' he thought to himself. He then stood up straight, plastering the best fake smile that he could, "I would love to."

Blades immediately stalled, not prepared for that response, "W-Wait r-really???"

"Do I look like I'm lying?", Bumblebee smirked as he got closer, "What say we go on a date right now?"

"R-Right now??", Blades said aghast, "But I'm not ready!"

"Nah you look perfect", Bumblebee bit his glossa with that comment, "Let's go see a movie. I hear that there's a great horror movie out now."

"B-But I don't like scary movies!", Blades retorted.

"What's this? Fighting already? Blades shame on you. You should know better than to fight with your own mechfriend, especially after asking them out just minutes ago", Bumblebee said as he put on the best pleading expression he could, "I guess we could never truly be a couple."

Blades caved in immediately, "I'm-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to start this! We can go see a horror movie!"

"Oh boy, really???", Bumblebee shouted with fake enthusiasm, "Thank you so much babe!"

'Eugh, that hurt to say it' Bumblebee thought in a disgusted tone.

The couple proceeded to begin the night by watching the horror movie. Blades, albeit terrified, stayed at Bumblebee's side throughout the entire movie. As the movie met its end, Bumblebee turned to the horrified helicopter, "GREAT MOVIE, RIGHT?"

"Y-Yeah... g-great", Blades barely choked out.

"I'm so glad you liked it. I absolutely enjoy horror movies- OH HEY! We should head to the zoo and play with the reptiles!"

Blades instantly changed the topic, "M-Maybe we should head back home and w-watch Cupcake Hoarders-"

"Ew. I hate cupcakes" -he doesn't- "anyone who likes them is immediately on my scrap list."

"Th-Thankfully I HATE them too! Haha...", Blades said while shaking a bit, "Disgusting pieces of cake!"

"Oh good", Bumblebee said with fake relief, "Let's go pester those reptiles!"

As Bumblebee left, Blades reluctantly followed behind. Each event led to the next, each being something Blades heavily disliked. But what can he do? He can't argue with the mech he's been dying to be with for eons.

Blades kept his mouth shut when Bee convinced him to help him be reckless. Flying into an active volcano for a stunt? Nope, Bee wouldn't give him a choice.

Weeks went by and Blades has been through it all. Speak your mind around Bee? Dent in your opticals. Disagree with his plans for a date? Gaslighted. Refuse to help him with something shady? He'll make you bleed.

Blades sat in the corner of his- and now Bee's -shared quarters, curled up into a ball of tears. He refused to go anywhere near his abuser, often recharging on the floor just so he doesn't wake up with a knife in his back again.

As he sobbed in the corner, his leader walked in, extremely concerned about his beloved helicopter friend.

"Blades?", Heatwave spoke in a soft tone, "Can we talk in my quarters?"

Bumblebee shot up from his nap on the berth, "WHO SAID- Oh hey Heatwave. Don't mind him he's just being dramatic."

Heatwave sneered at him, "I'm talking to him as a Leader. So if you'll excuse us, I'll be speaking with him in private."

Heatwave then softened his tone as he helped the helicopter up, "Come on, Blades." He then escorted his friend out while side-glaring at Bumblebee.

Once Heatwave had Blades in his quarters, he immediately sat him on the berth. "Boulder voiced to me his concerns about you and Bee. I've noticed things have been different since you've started dating him. Tell me, what is he doing to you?"

Blades hesitated, "I-I can't tell you..."

"Why?"

"He'll kill me..."

"I won't let that happen", Heatwave reassured his younger ally as he turned slightly to the side. Blades let out a small gasp at the sight of a small blaster on Heatwave's holster. "Please, tell me everything."

Blades, despite knowing what it would cost, began telling his leader everything. The abuse, the gaslighting, the "accidental" assassination attempts, the pain, suffering, humiliation, every single horrible thing Bumblebee has put him through.

Heatwave slowly stood up, his optics fading into a murderous red, "Thank you, Blades. I'll handle this from here."

Blades looked at him horrified, "W-What are you gonna do??"

Heatwave turned to him as he was heading out the door, "Don't worry. Everything is being taken care of."

With that, Blades was left alone. His frame unmoving, his audios ringing, his sparkbeat increasing, the whole world spinning. In that moment he could only hear the sound that would haunt him for the rest of his life.

BANG!
